 ### Changed
 - vector images parsing is now more robust: `fpdf2` can now embed SVG files without `viewPort` or no `height` / `width`
 - bitonal images are now encoded using `CCITTFaxDecode`, reducing their size in the PDF document - thanks to @eroux
+- when possible, JPG and group4 encoded TIFFs are now embedded directly without recompression - thanks to @eroux
