OK, I think you're both confused :) .. zlib compression is specific to
plucker documents (text and images) while palm has its own built in
image compression which only specific versions support.

The different type of image compression methods are...

Scanline (supported by OS 2.0 and higher)
RLE (supported by OS 3.5 and higher)
PackBits (supported by OS 4.0 only!)

Meanwhile.. as for document compression:

Doc (supported by OS 2.0 and higher)
ZLib (supported by OS 3.0 and higher)

Keep in mind, compressed images can then be further compressed by zlib
for a smaller .pdb, but you're still restricted on the OS you're
viewing on since it has to know how to decompress the image.

So if you're using RLE on an OS 3.1 device, you will get the error
message you saw earlier.

To turn it off on the python parser look for tbmp_compression_type and
tbmp_compression. I'm not sure how to disable (or enable) it on the
java parser.
