SetCompressionForBitonalImage Method (GdPicturePDF)
 
            
                In This Topic
            
            Sets the scheme to be used to compress bitonal image data within the currently loaded PDF document. 
Please note that firstly you need to create or load the PDF document to allow this setting to work properly. Secondly, you need to set the compression scheme before adding the required image to the current document.
 
            
            
            Syntax
            
        
            Parameters
- Compression
 
- A member of the PdfCompression enumeration. The new compression scheme to be used.
