Bases: Profile

The optimization profile suitable for archiving

This profile provides minimal document modification and is well suited for reducing the file size prior to converting to PDF/A. The optimizer itself does not create PDF/A output but merely tries to preserve PDF/A conformance.

Alternate images and thumbnails are removed. The resolution and color space of images stay untouched.

When an image is recompressed, the pdftools_sdk.optimization.compression_algorithm_selection.CompressionAlgorithmSelection.PRESERVEQUALITY strategy is used; this can be overridden through the property pdftools_sdk.optimization.profiles.profile.Profile.image_recompression_options .

For PDF/A conforming input files, the PDF/A conformance is preserved if possible. For other files, the PDF version is updated to PDF 1.7 or higher.
