Word changes the dpi of the image when it is inserted. The resulting resolution depends on the selected default resolution. Go to File > Options > Advanced. You can select resolutions up to 330 ppi, or select "High fidelity" which avoids compression. This is the default in Office 2016.

However, if the image has less pixels than required for good printing, Word cannot increase the image quality, so he result will still be poor.

As a result, what you require cannot be done. When you insert the image, Word changes the resolution, depending on the setting. And, once the images are inserted, Word no longer knows the resolution of the original.

If it is low resolution image then again i am opening word document and replacing image and convert to pdf and again checking. Its getting more time to and time.
