Q:

The sample shows how to embed different types and how to define different compression levels (using encoder hints parameter).
For details re: different encoder hints parameter options please see:
encoder_hints - An optional SDF::Obj containing a hint (or an array of hints) that could be used to select a specific compression method and compression parameters. For a concrete example of how to create encoder hints, please take a look at JBIG2Test and AddImage sample projects. The image encoder accepts the following hints:
• /JBIG2; SDF::Name("JBIG2"), An SDF::Name Object with value equal to "JBIG2". If the image is monochrome (i.e. bpc == 1), the encoder will compress the image using JBIG2Decode filter.
• [/JBIG2 /Threshold 0.6 /SharePages 50] - Compress a
monochrome image using lossy JBIG2Decode compression with the given image
threshold and by sharing segments from a specified number of pages. The
threshold is a floating point number in the range from 0.4 to 0.9. Increasing
the threshold value will increase image quality, but may increase the file
size. The default value for threshold is 0.85. "SharePages" parameter
can be used to specify the maximum number of pages sharing a common
'JBIG2Globals' segment stream. Increasing the value of this parameter improves
compression ratio at the expense of memory usage.
• [/JPEG] - Use JPEG compression with default compression.
• [/JPEG /Quality 60] - Use JPEG compression with given quality setting. The "Quality" value is expressed on the 0..100 scale.
• [/JP2] or [/JPEG2000] - Use JPEG2000 compression to compress a RGB or a grayscale image
• [/Flate] - Use Flate compression with maximum compression at the expense of speed.
• [/Flate /Level 9] - Use Flate compression using specified compression level. Compression "Level" must be a number between 0 and 9: 1 gives best speed, 9 gives best compression, 0 gives no compression at all (the input data is simply copied a block at a time).
