Render the page as an image and save it to the output stream in JPEG format. The range for this value is 0.0 to 1.0 with lower values producing higher compression and lower quality. As a guideline, 0.25 is low quality, 0.5 is medium quality and 0.75 is high quality. Depending on the quality of the content in the page, using a higher value may not necessarily produce a larger image. For example, if a quality of 0.5 produces lossless compression, then anything higher than 0.5 will produce the same results. However using a compression of 0.4 will produce a smaller, lower quality file.

Parameters:

outStream - The stream to save the image to.

dpi - Dots per inch at which to render the image. 72 is the native PDF resolution.

quality - The quality setting to use for JPEG compression. The range for this value is 0.0 to 1.0. Lower values mean higher compression and lower quality. As a guideline, 0.25 is low quality, 0.5 is medium quality and 0.75 is high quality.

If a value higher than the lossless compression rate is provided, then making a small change in the value will not make a difference. For example, if a quality of 0.5 produces lossless compression, then anything higher than 0.5 will produce the same results. However using a compression of 0.4 will produce a smaller, lower quality file.

Parameters:

outStream - The stream to save the image to.

dpi - Dots per inch at which to render the image. 72 is the native PDF resolution.

quality - The quality setting to use for JPEG compression. The range for this value is 0.0 to 1.0. Lower values mean higher compression and lower quality. As a guideline, 0.25 is low quality, 0.5 is medium quality and 0.75 is high quality.
