Compression of PDF files?

[StandScoper]

Is there a way to disable any compression in the PDF extraction? Im inserting custom pictures and want them to be exported at full DPI.

There's nothing to "disable". Right now, the application renders at a fixed resolution of 300 DPI, because that's what Scryfall returns.

The app instructs the Qt PDF renderer to use lossless image processing, which embeds 300 DPI images as-is.

MTGProxyPrinter/mtg_proxy_printer/print.py

Line 221 in 22ae379

self.painter.setRenderHint(RenderHint.LosslessImageRendering) # Prevent avoidable image degradation

Configuring the print resolution is planned, but no real work is started on that front. And it probably won't make it for the next version, but maybe for 0.37

thanks for clarifying, was just wondering as i got custom pictures with higher DPI that looked worse then their PNG versions. 👍
