Optimize images

Usage

pdftl <input> optimize_images [<optimize_option>...] output <file> [<option...>]

The operation optimize_images optimizes images in a PDF file.

Note: This feature requires ocrmypdf to be installed.

These options can be passed as arguments following optimize_images.

low (aliases: lossless, safe):
- Apply lossless optimizations only.
medium (default; aliases: lossy_medium, lossy):
- Also allow some lossy optimizations.
high (aliases: aggressive, lossy_high):
- Also allow more aggressive lossy optimizations.
jbig2_lossy:
- Enable JBIG2 lossy mode (see ocrmypdf documentation).
- This is independent of the preceding options.
all (aliases: full):
- Use all of the above.
jpeg_quality=<n> (default: 75)
png_quality=<n> (default: 70)
quality=<n>
- Set JPEG and/or PNG quality to <n>.
- <n> must be an integer between 0 and 100.
- 0 means use the default quality.
- 1 is the lowest possible quality.
- 100 is the highest possible quality.
jobs=<n> (default: 0)
- Use parallel processing with <n> jobs.
- If <n> is 0, this is set automatically.
