In the past I successfully created and used QuartzFilter from within my Cocoa app for OS X and saved pdf files. But now it seems that I am missing something.
I have just created 2 filters with ColorSync Utility, one with ImageJPEGCompress Compression Quality 1 (MinComp.qfilter) and one with ImageJPEGCompress Compression Quality -1 (MaxComp.qfilter). If I use them from within the application Preview, they work well. I get a 146KB file and a 1.5MB file. Now I use the filters from within my app, this way: filePath = [myBundle pathForResource:@"MinComp" ofType:@"qfilter"]; filterDict = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:filePath]; filter = [[QuartzFilterManager filterManager] importFilter:filterDict]; options = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:filter forKey:@"QuartzFilter"]; saved = [pdfDoc pdfPath withOptions:options]; I save 2 pdf files containing the same image I used in the app Preview (see above), one using the min filter, and one using the max filter The 2 PDF have the same byte size: 2.3MB. And I can't found the bug. I work with Xcode 5 and OS X 10.8.5. Target: OS X 10.8. I have linked the libs: Quartz.framework, QuartzCore.framework, AppKit.framework... That's my MaxComp filter. Above it's my code.
