** Description changed:

  Hello,
  
  PDF compression cannot appropriately be configured.
  
  Having taken a look at the latest source code of simple-scan:
- 1) simple-scan compresses each image in GIF or JPG depending on the 
compressed size (it keeps the GIF version if it is smaller than the JPG)
- 2) the "quality" setting only applies to JPG
+ 1) simple-scan compresses each image in ZLIB or JPEG depending on the 
compressed size (it keeps the ZLIB version if it is smaller than the JPEG)
+ 2) the "quality" setting only applies to JPEG
  
- With this in mind, it is impossible to use simple-scan to create a PDF
- full of lossless GIFs for archiving documents where we want to keep
- quality at the expense of the size.
+ With this in mind, I think it is impossible to use simple-scan to create
+ a PDF full of lossless ZLIB images for archiving documents where we want
+ to keep quality at the expense of the size.
  
  Best regards

Bug description:
  Hello,

  PDF compression cannot appropriately be configured.

  Having taken a look at the latest source code of simple-scan:
  1) simple-scan compresses each image in ZLIB or JPEG depending on the 
compressed size (it keeps the ZLIB version if it is smaller than the JPEG)
  2) the "quality" setting only applies to JPEG

  With this in mind, I think it is impossible to use simple-scan to
  create a PDF full of lossless ZLIB images for archiving documents
  where we want to keep quality at the expense of the size.
