> I implemented a basic starting point to realize a PDF compression based on PDFBox 2.0.22-SNAPSHOT
> I want to use this ticket, to ask if you would be interested in such a feature and whether you would be interested to merge it into PDFBox.
> This is sort of a POC, only implementing some very basic functionality, that surely must and could be extended further and it does only implement some very basic and simplistic Unit Tests.
> However it is able to reduce the size of resulting documents, and creates objectstreams as defined in the PDF reference manual.
> *What it currently does:*
> It provides the bundling and compression of objects to objectstreams -and further applies simple content compression to a small selection of contents-.
> -To realize content compression, it provides a simple interface and abstract class for "ContentCompressor"s which search a document for specific content, that could be compressed and do compress that contents.-
> -Currently two content compressors exist:-
> -_ImageCompressor_-
> -Searches for simple images, that could be compressed using DCT.-
> -_UnencodedStreamCompressor_-
> -Searches the document for yet unencoded streams and applies a Flate compression where necessary.-
> -Both compressors can be parameterized using a centralized "CompressParameters" instance which is passed to a new "saveCompressed" method of PDDocument.-
> The compression is based on, modifies and is realized by a set of extensions for the "COSWriter" class. Basically it organizes objects, that are passed to the COSWriter in objectStreams -and applies content optimization where necessary and possible-.
> Currently this does support encryption, but does not support linearization of the compressed documents.
> *Caveat:*
> If this feature is interesting to you, then I would not expect you to simply merge this fork into 2.0.22. I am expecting that you would like to have some details and concepts changed and am ready to implement changes that would be required for this to work to your liking.
> *POC:*
> 4 resulting documents can be found in "target/test-output/compression" when "COSDocumentCompressionTest" is run.
