+        Tells qpdf to insert a newline before the
+        <literal>endstream</literal> keyword, not counted in the
+        length, after any stream content even if the last character of
+        the stream was a newline. This may result in two newlines in
+        some cases. This is a requirement of PDF/A. While qpdf doesn't
+        specifically know how to generate PDF/A-compliant PDFs, this
+        at least prevents it from removing compliance on already
+        compliant files.
