Transparency - Sets the transparency of the text annotation

Compression: Convert any image to either a JPEG, JPEG2000, FLATE, or JBIG2.

JPEG - lossy compression that will reduce image quality and size
JPEG2000 - less lossy compression that will reduce size and some quality
FLATE - Lossless compression does not reduce quality but may not always reduce file size
JBIG2 - Lossless compression that can only support black and white color space. Color images will be converted to black and white. Best for scanned documents with no images
