Once you have selected the compression driver, you can compress a file and place the result in another file using this method.

- Source: path of the source file (file to be compressed).

- Target: path of the target file (compressed file). If that file already exists, it will be overwritten.

- Level: compression level, can be a value from Min value to Max value. If you do not pass this parameter, Default value will be used.
