             Summary: [PATCH]: Support simple lossless compression of 16 bit RGB images
                 Key: PDFBOX-4184
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4184
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Writing
    Affects Versions: 2.0.9
            Reporter: Emmeran Seehuber
         Attachments: pdfbox_support_16bit_image_write.patch

The attached patch add support to write 16 bit per component images correctly. I've integrated a test for this here: [https://github.com/rototor/pdfbox-graphics2d/commit/8bf089cb74945bd4f0f15054754f51dd5b361fe9]

It only supports 16-Bit TYPE_CUSTOM with DataType == USHORT images - but this is what you usually get when you read a 16 bit PNG file.

This would also fix [https://github.com/danfickle/openhtmltopdf/issues/173].

The patch is against 2.0.9, but should apply to 3.0.0 too.

There is still some room for improvements when writing lossless images, as the images are currently not efficiently encoded. I.e. you could use PNG encodings to get a better compression. (By adding a COSName.DECODE_PARMS with a COSName.PREDICTOR == 15 and encoding the images as PNG). But this is something for a later patch. It would also need another API, as there is a tradeoff speed vs compression ratio.
