Re: Compressing images in PDF files

I would think that the pdf composition utility would use Flate encryption to store the graphic as a PDF stream object. So, it should be compressed by default.

I am prepared to have the images resampled, however, which I understand ImageMagick can do. The image format can be different in the output file as wel. Ensuring that zip compression is used on the data streams is important, but it isn't the only mechanism available.
