Bug Description

Binary package hint: eog

A followup to bug 116141, pared back and phrased, I hope, in the form of a feature request that can be accepted:

It would be good if EOG provided PDF compression options in its 'print to PDF' feature.

At present, the PDFs output by EOG can easily be many times the size of the original image. I consider this to be a bug: all that EOG has to do is wrap the JPEG with a bit of text and that should be fine, at least in the case of some image file-types. The fact that a 200K JPEG can give you an 1.2 M PDF is unexpected and likely to users into confusion.

Cheers
JP

That's likely a GTK request than an application one. Also no need to open upstream bugs on launchpad we don't have the ressources to work on them. Marking as confirmed and forwarded upstream
