Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
PDF and picture files too large
Describe the solution you'd like
Ability to compress PDF and images when rendering them to filesystem.
PDF Tricks app (https://github.com/muriloventuroso/pdftricks) offers open source solution for manual PDF compression, and the results are impressive. It can sometimes cut down ~50-80% of the original file size, but has to be done manually and is very tedious. It also gets overwritten on every new render.
Maybe implement its compression algorithm?
Describe alternatives you've considered
Compressing it manually, very tedious.
