Optimizing PDF with JBIG2 image destroys image

Aspose.PDF Product Family

Hi,

if I try to optimize a PDF (Example.pdf (3.0 KB)) File containing a JBIG2 image, sometimes the images get completly destroyed (Example_optimized.pdf (3.3 KB)). I use the follow method to optimize the PDF file.

private static void Optimize(Document doc)
{
  var optimizationOptions = new Document.OptimizationOptions
  {
    AllowReusePageContent = false,
    LinkDuplcateStreams = false,
    RemoveUnusedObjects = false,
    RemoveUnusedStreams = false,
    CompressImages = true,
    ImageQuality = 50,
    MaxResoultion = 125,
    ResizeImages = true,
    RemovePrivateInfo = false
  };

  doc.OptimizeResources (optimizationOptions);
}

Is it possible to exclude JBIG2 images from beeing optimized or altered in any way? I used Aspose.PDF Assembly Version 18.1 and 18.6.1 in both cases I got the same result.

Original looks like this: before.png (2.0 KB)

After optimization it looks like this: after.png (2.3 KB)

Hi,

this Bug seems not to be limited to JBIG2 images. It happens with TIFF images too, if one of the following compressions is used: CCITT Group 3 Fax or CCITT Group 4 Fax. It seems the problem is if the image is 1 bit color depth with no alpha channel.

Thank you for sharing your findings.

Would you please share a source and generated PDF file which is having this problem with TIFF images. This will help us address your concerns even better.

Hi @Farhan.Raza,

This is the source PDF containing multiple TIFF Images PDF15 containing TIFF color and 1bpp.pdf (538.7 KB). The first two images are the problem they are 1bit per pixel with no alpha channel images the first is compressed using “CCITT Group 3 Fax” and the second image uses “CCITTT Group 4 Fax”. The other TIFF in this PDF uses JPEG, Pack Bits, Deflate, LZW, and no compression at all. This are all color images and they will be omptimized without problem. The result after optimizing the PDF with the code above results in this PDF result.pdf (241.5 KB)
