* M11: merge image fragments, and the Standard and Mobile optimizer presets
Some PDF printers draw a page picture as thousands of images one pixel row
high (one real page: 3,300 strips, 4.3 MB). The optimizer works image by
image, a one-row image can't be resampled, and every JPEG strip carries its
own headers, so Reduce File Size saved 2 bytes on it.
- pdfcraft-optimize `fragments` (Settings::merge_fragments, on by default):
runs of `q … cm /Im Do Q` drawing upright 8-bit grey or RGB images in one
colour space, sharing their left and right edges and stacked edge to edge
(at least four, nothing else drawn between them; or, failing that, the
rows drawn one under the other up to a gap) become one lossless image at
their finest resolution. The image settings then resample it, and Clean
Up drops the strips. A page whose content can't be read back exactly is
left alone.
- Presets as in Acrobat's Settings menu: Standard (Reduce File Size's
choices) and Mobile (images above 144 ppi to 96 ppi, JPEG high). The PDF
Optimizer dialog has a Settings menu (Custom once an option changes) and
a Merge image fragments box; doc_optimize takes preset and
merge_fragments and reports merged_images and fragments_merged.
- A progress stage for the merge; four new strings in all 21 catalogs.
On the real page: Standard/Reduce 4.3 MB → 231 KB, Mobile → 161 KB, with
a rendering closer to the original than Acrobat's Mobile result (147 KB).
