Hi,

Considering the fact that your original image uses jpeg format, there is
almost all chances that your PDF file will be bigger than expected if you
choose zip compression as zip compression is usually less efficient for
images than jpeg compression. Using jpeg compression with maximal quality
will provide  in almost all cases results visually similar to zip
compression with the advantage of sensibly reduced file size.
