Description John Pye 2007-05-22 08:23:10 UTC 
I have a 200K JPEG that I wanted to convert to a PDF (and then I wanted to concatenate it with other JPEGs-converted-to-PDF, FWIW).

I found that when I converted to JPEG to a PDF using the EOG 'print to PDF' feature, my PDF was 1.2M -- many times the size of the original PDF.

I think that EOG should be a bit clever when creating PDF files: if the image is a compressed type than is easily 'wrapped' by PDF, then the compression should be preserved (no JPEG recompression if possible)

And, for other image types, and for big images, it should be possible to downsample and compress the output, as with OpenOffice.

This would be a really nice feature. Thanks for all your work...
