// When merging PDFs that contain identical images, by default the resulting PDF
// will end up containing several copies of the same image.
// To ensure that the PDF is not larger than necessary, DsPdf provides the method
// GcPdfDocument.RemoveDuplicateImages() that scans the PDF, finds and removes duplicates.
// The MergeDocumentOptions class also has the property RemoveDuplicateImages,
// which allows you to scan for/remove duplicates at once when merging PDFs,
// but by default it is false. This is because the occurrence of duplicate images
// in merged PDFs is not a very common scenario, while scanning for duplicates
// may affect the performance of the merge. Also, if you are merging multiple PDFs
// that contain duplicate images, it is better to merge all PDFs first, and then
// remove all duplicates from the final PDF at once with a single call to
// GcPdfDocument.RemoveDuplicateImages(), as demonstrated by this demo.
//
// In this demo we merge several sample invoices that include the same company logo,
// and then call GcPdfDocument.RemoveDuplicateImages() and compare the sizes of the
// resulting PDF before and after that call.
//
// See also OptimizeFonts.
