LEADTOOLS provides support for PDF compression with MRC segmentation. MRC segmentation can be used to break a page/image into smaller segments, saving each segment using the compression appropriate for that segment. Thus, one page of a PDF file may have an image JPEG-compressed, some text JBIG2-compressed, and another area CCITT-compressed. This whole process works to provide a PDF file with better compression and better quality than just a standard raster PDF file.

The default extension used by this format is: PDF.

LEADTOOLS supports Load and save for this format.

Keys that must be unlocked to enable this format support: Document and PdfAdvanced.

Multi-page is supported if the PDF file is created by using the PdfCompressor. For more information, refer to PdfCompressor.Insert(RasterImage,PdfCompressorOptions) and Creating A compressed PDF File. As an example, you can create a multipage file as shown in the following code:

            PdfCompressor pdfCompressor = new PdfCompressor(); 
            pdfCompressor.SetCompression //set the compressions you need
             
            pdfCompressor.Insert //insert 1st page
            pdfCompressor.Insert //insert 2nd page
            …
             
            pdfCompressor.Insert // and so on
            ….
            pdfCompressor.Write // write the pdf documentpdfCompressor.InsertPdfCompressor pdfCompressor = new 
            PdfCompressor(); PdfCompressor pdfCompressor = new PdfCompressor(); 
            

Use the Insert command for each page being added.

File constants associated with this file format are:
