I am writing PDF documents in iText where each page is originally a TIFF. Each TIFF is either a bilevel or RGB image. PDF file size being a priority, I am interested in learning what is the most optimal method for storing these images into the PDF documents as far as file size is concerned.
PDF file size reduction and optimization is a science all to itself - involving parts of compression theory, image processing and PDF "know how". If you want that best - use PDF Enhancer (http://www.pdfenhancer.com).
There are, however, many easy things that can be done such as resolution downsampling or application of JPEG or JBIG2 compression (depending on the type of image). Try JAI...
