Thanks for sharing the detail. Please use the latest version of Aspose.Words for .NET 18.9 with following code example to get the desired output. Hope this helps you.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "生成PDF之前.doc");
PdfSaveOptions optinos = new PdfSaveOptions();
optinos.ImageCompression = PdfImageCompression.Jpeg;
doc.Save(MyDir + "18.9.pdf", optinos);

The test is still much more than the original one.

PdfSaveOptions opt = new PdfSaveOptions();
opt.DownsampleOptions.DownsampleImages = true;
opt.DownsampleOptions.Resolution = 75;
opt.DownsampleOptions.ResolutionThreshold = 75;
opt.ImageCompression = PdfImageCompression.Jpeg;
doc.Save(MyDir + "18.9.pdf", opt);
