PDFCOMP_OUTPUTQUALITY_AUTO

[0] Choose the quality of the output automatically.

PDFCOMP_OUTPUTQUALITY_POOR

[1] Poor output quality with best compression.

PDFCOMP_OUTPUTQUALITY_AVERAGE

[2] Average output quality with average compression.

PDFCOMP_OUTPUTQUALITY_GOOD

[3] Good output quality with good compression.

PDFCOMP_OUTPUTQUALITY_EXCELLENT

uCleanSize

Value that indicates the size of the area used to remove the noise inside the segmented image. Possible values range from 0 to 10, where 0 means skip the cleaning stage.

uBackGroundThreshold

Threshold value used to separate image objects from the background. Best values are from 5 to 35.

uCombineThreshold

Threshold value used to combine colors. Colors that are closer together than this amount will be combined. Possible values range from 0 to 300. The best value is 25.

uSegmentQuality

Threshold value used to determine whether the segment is a picture segment. Possible values range from 0 to 100. Use 0 to set all possible picture segments to 2-bit without losing a lot of information. Use 100 to set all picture segments to 2-bit only if they are very close to 2-bit.

uColorThreshold

Threshold value used to merge segments. Best values are from 75 to 125.
