@@ -198,3 +198,19 @@ The `Image processing`_ features can improve OCR quality.
 Rotating pages and deskewing helps to ensure that the page orientation is correct before OCR begins. Removing the background and/or cleaning the page can also improve results. The ``--oversample DPI`` argument can be specified to resample images to higher resolution before attempting OCR; this can improve results as well.
 
 OCR quality will suffer if the resolution of input images is not correct (since the range of pixel sizes that will be checked for possible fonts will also be incorrect).
+
+
+PDF optimization
+----------------
+
+By default OCRmyPDF will attempt to perform lossless optimizations on the images inside PDFs after OCR is complete. Optimization is performed even if no OCR text is found.
+
+The ``--optimize N`` (short form ``-O``) argument controls optimization, where ``N`` ranges from 0 to 3. ``--optimize 0`` disables optimizations. ``1`` enables lossless optimizations that can be performed safely with no quality loss. ``2`` enables lossy optimizations such as image color quantizations. ``3`` enables more aggressive optimizations and targets a lower JPEG quality.
+
+Optimization is improved when a JBIG2 encoder is available and when ``pngquant`` is installed. If either of these components are missing, then some types of images will not be optimized.
+
+Currently optimization attempts to find more efficient encodings for images. The types of optimization available may expand over time. By default, OCRmyPDF compresses data streams inside PDFs, and will change inefficient encodings to more modern versions. A program like ``qpdf`` can be used to change encodings, e.g. to inspect the internals fo a PDF.

 The easiest way to install OCRmyPDF to follow the steps for your operating system/platform.
 
 If you want to use the latest version of OCRmyPDF, your best bet is to install the most recent version your platform provides, and then upgrade that version by installing the Python binary wheels.

+
+.. note::
+
+    OCRmyPDF for Debian and Ubuntu currently omit the JBIG2 encoder. OCRmyPDF works fine without it but will produce larger output files. If you build jbig2enc from source, ocrmypdf 7.0.0 and later will automatically detect it (specifically the ``jbig2`` binary) on the ``PATH``. To add JBIG2 encoding, see :ref:`jbig2`.
+
+Installing the latest version on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Ubuntu 18.04 includes ocrmypdf 6.1.2. To install a more recent version, first
+install the system version to get most of the dependencies:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    sudo apt-get update
+    sudo apt-get install \
+        ocrmypdf \
+        python3-pip
+
+There are a few dependency changes between ocrmypdf 6.1.2 and 7.x. Let's get
+these, too.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    sudo apt-get install \
+        libexempi3 \
+        pngquant
+
+Then install the most recent ocrmypdf for the local user and set the user's ``PATH`` to check for the user's Python packages.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH
+    pip3 install --user ocrmypdf
+
+To add JBIG2 encoding, see :ref:`jbig2`.
+
+Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+No package is currently available for Ubuntu 16.04, but you can install the dependencies manually:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    sudo apt-get update
+    sudo apt-get install \
+        ghostscript \
+        libexempi3 \
+        pngquant \
+        python3-cffi \
+        python3-pip \
+        qpdf \
+        tesseract-ocr \
+        unpaper
+
+If you wish install OCRmyPDF for the current user, and ensure that the ``PATH``
+environment variable contains ``$HOME/.local/bin``.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH
+    pip3 install --user ocrmypdf
+
+Alternately, you can install ocrmypdf system-wide. (Not recommended.)
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    sudo pip3 install ocrmypdf
+
+At your option, you may upgrade Ubuntu 16.04 LTS to Tesseract 4.0 for improved OCR results.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    sudo apt-get install -y software-properties-common python-software-properties
+    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alex-p/tesseract-ocr -y
+    sudo apt-get update
+    sudo apt-get upgrade tesseract-ocr
+
+To add JBIG2 encoding, see :ref:`jbig2`.
+
+Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Installing on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (trusty) is more difficult than some other options, because it is older and does not provide ``pip``.
+
+Update apt-get:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    sudo apt-get update
+
+Install system dependencies:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    sudo apt-get install \

 * Ghostscript may transcode grayscale and color images, either lossy to lossless or lossless to lossy, based on an internal algorithm.

+Generate a PDFMARK file for Ghostscript >= 9.14, for PDF/A conversion

+pdfmark is an extension to the Postscript language that describes some PDF
+features like bookmarks and annotations. It was originally specified Adobe
+Distiller, for Postscript to PDF conversion:
+https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdfmark_reference.pdf
+
+Ghostscript uses pdfmark for PDF to PDF/A conversion as well. To use Ghostscript
