We used it to compress scanned PDFs, using mixed raster techniques. Since the PDF natively supports JPEG2000 we used it for document background compression and we used JBIG2 for text image compression. The compression ratio was impressive but the document rendering was noticeably slower even with Adobe reader …
- gsich 5y ago>background compression and we used JBIG2 for text image compression Are you aware of the downsides? https://www.dkriesel.com/en/blog/2013/0802_xerox-workcentres_are_switching_written_numbers_when_scanning https://www.dkriesel.com/en/blog/2013/0802_xerox-workcentres... It stands to reason that not only Xerox had problems with JBIG2.
- JacobiX 5y agoThank you for the link, yes we are aware of this particular issue. For our engine we used only lossless mode and using this mode the decompressed binary image is identical to the original so the described problem cannot occur. Nonetheless this limit severely the usefulness of JBIG2.
