# printcraft-optimize
Layer L4: the PDF Optimizer (execution plan M11.1; Acrobat's Reduce File Size and Optimize PDF ▸
Advanced optimization).
```rust
let report = optimize(&mut doc, &Settings::default())?; // Reduce File Size's choices
```
- **Images:** the effective resolution of each image is measured where pages draw it (the CTM
through form XObjects; the smallest over all uses). Colour and grayscale images above a
threshold are resampled with a bicubic (Catmull-Rom) filter to a target resolution and
stored as JPEG (Acrobat's quality steps) or ZIP; soft masks are resampled with their image.
An image is replaced only if the result is smaller. Left alone: CMYK and other colour spaces,
image masks, decode arrays, more than 8 bits, JPEG 2000, JBIG2 and CCITT.
- **Discard objects:** thumbnails, alternate images, document tags, print settings.
- **Clean up:** Flate for streams with no filter.
The engine runs Remove Hidden Information (`printcraft-redact`) for the user-data categories,
then this, then merges identical objects and writes a full, compressed save. JPEG decoding and
encoding and resampling come from the `image` crate.
