What it does

Checks the compression ratio of the images in a PDF against a particular threshold.

You can check the compression ratio of images compressed with one of the following compression methods:
  • CCITT
  • JPEG
  • ZIP
  • LZW
  • RunLength
  • JBIG2
  • JPEG2000

Example

If the JPEG images in your PDF should not be compressed at all, use the following values:
Compression ratio of JPEG images must be        <!-- Choose JPEG -->
equal to 1.0000                                 <!-- Choose  "equal to" and "1.0000" -->

A compression ratio of "1" means "no compression"; a compression ratio of "0.5" means "50%" , ...
