#### An encoder for JBIG2

JBIG2 encodes bi-level (1 bpp) images using a number of clever tricks to get better compression than G4. This encoder can:

* Generate JBIG2 files, or fragments for embedding in PDFs
* Generic region encoding
* Perform symbol extraction, classification and text region coding
* Perform refinement coding and,
* Compress multipage documents

**Snap-specific notes**
