Comments

The DTWAIN_SetPDFJpegQuality function sets the current quality of a PDF file if the file contains JPEG data.  The Quality parameter determines the quality of the JPEG image generated for the PDF page.  The quality factor is numbered from 1 (low quality) to 100 (no loss -- very high quality).  The higher the quality factor, the larger in size the acquired PDF file will be.  By default, the quality setting is 75, which is adequate for most PDF files that contain JPEG images.

DTWAIN will always create PDF files with JPEG data if the bits-per-pixel for the acquired image is 8 or higher (mostly color and grayscale images).  Otherwise, TIFF Group 4 data is used in the PDF file if black/white (1 bit-per-pixel) images are acquired.  In the latter case, the quality factor does not apply, since TIFF data has no quality setting.

TWAIN State Transitions
