Remarks

Use the ConvertImagesToJpeg property to convert the bitmap and meta file images contained in the document to JPEG format during the export to PDF. This reduces the PDF document size.

Images are converted to JPEG only if this option is enabled and the JPEG image size is smaller than the original image size.

You can use the PdfExportOptions.ImageQuality property to change the embedded images’ quality and further reduce the document size.

Note

This property is not in effect for specific controls on non-Windows systems and in Azure compatibility mode. For instance, XRChart controls whose ChartImageType property is set to Metafile are exported in vector format.
