From d75fcb1d1c896266b06277ba45e3131d2d4a4ae5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: AI Assistant Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2026 17:19:42 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] fix(pdf-compress): remove /screen preset that destroys font encoding The -dPDFSETTINGS=/screen GS preset overwrites font encoding tables, producing garbled text in output PDFs. Replace with individual params that ONLY compress images while preserving fonts intact. Three quality levels via GS (no Stirling dependency): - extreme: 100 DPI, QFactor 1.2 (~quality 35) - high: 150 DPI, QFactor 0.76 (~quality 50) - balanced: 200 DPI, QFactor 0.4 (~quality 70) Route all UI modes through the GS endpoint with level parameter.
