better compression rate of jbig2 format for PDF-Tools SDK 5?
Posted: Tue May 15, 2012 8:33 am
Hello All,
I am a legal user of PDF-Tools 4 and I evaluate the PDF-Tools 4 SDK.
I wish to know if the new PDF-Tools 5 could better compress pages with just one B&W bitmap using JBig2 options.
It seems that, using any PDF-Tools (version 4) JBig2 option, a B&W bitmap is not very well compressed, comparing with other tools as the Jbig2enc freeware (https://github.com/agl/jbig2enc).
Here enclosed a zip archive with 5 files :
- a 1 Tiff page from US from US Patent Office (image of 2320x3408 px): 05307062-001.tif (46,141 bytes)
- a 1 Pdf page converted using jbig2enc.exe: 05307062 -001.pdf (27,938 bytes)
- a 1 Pdf page converted using PDF-Tool 4 (opt. symbols): 05307062-001jb2sym.pdf (40,710 bytes)
- a 1 Pdf page converted using PDF-Tool 4 (opt. standard): 05307062-001jb2std.pdf (36,390 bytes)
- a 1 Pdf page converted using PDF-Tool 4 (opt. limit): 05307062-001jb2lim.pdf (36,390 bytes)
Could we hope a better compression rate using PDF-Tools 5 for this kind of conversion?
Best regards
Gérard
