== img2pdf ==
Lossless conversion of images to PDF without unnecessarily re-encoding JPEG
files. Thus, no loss of quality and no unnecessary large output file.
PDF is able to embed JPEG images as they are without re-encoding them (and
hence loosing quality) but I was missing a tool to do this automatically, thus
I wrote this piece of python code.
If you know how to embed JPEG images into a PDF container without
recompression, using existing tools, please contact me so that I can put this
code into the garbage bin :D
The program will take image filenames from commandline arguments and output a
PDF file with them embedded into it. If the input image is a JPEG file, it will
be included as-is without any processing. If it is in any other format, the
image will be included as zip-encoded RGB. As a result, this tool will be able
to lossless wrap any image into a PDF container while performing better (in
terms of quality/filesize ratio) than existing tools in case the input image is
a JPEG.
For the record, the imagemagick command to lossless convert any image to
PDF using zip-encoding, is:
convert input.jpg -compress Zip output.pdf
The downside is, that using imagemagick like this will make the resulting PDF
files a few times bigger than the input JPEG and can also not output a
multipage PDF.
img2pdf is able to output a PDF with multiple pages if more than one input
image is given, losslessly embed JPEGs into a PDF container without adding more
overhead than the PDF structure itself and will save all other graphics formats
using lossless zip-compression.
If you find a JPEG that, when embedded can not be read by the Adobe Acrobat
Reader, please contact me.
For lossless conversion of other formats than JPEG, zip/flate encoding is used.
This choice is based on a number of tests I did on images. I converted them
into PDF using imagemagick and all compressions it has to offer and then
compared the output size of the lossless variants. In all my tests, zip/flate
encoding performed best. You can verify my findings using the test_comp.sh
script with any input image given as a commandline argument. If you find an
input file that is outperformed by another lossless compression, contact me.
