Remarks

Use the ConvertImagesToJpeg property, to reduce the size of the resulting PDF document by compressing the original images to JPEG.

When this option is enabled, the document bitmaps will be converted to JPEG only if their estimated resulting size is expected to decrease.

To further reduce the file size by degrading the quality of embedded images, use the PdfExportOptions.ImageQuality property.
