Exporting a background image to PDF

Post Author: Kedgeboy
CA Forum: Publishing
Hello
We have a very large report (100 pages long) and have a series of background images set on the report. When viewing through BO XI R2 DeskI you can see the images, you can print the report. However when saving the report to PDF format the background image is not included on the export.
Can you advise if it is possible to export the background image out to PDF through DeskI and / or Webi and if so how.
Cheers
Rich

  • How to add a button to background image in Fireworks

    Hello!
    I created  recently a clickable button with a rollover effect. I made it iin FW  CS5 as a symbol and exported. So I have now .html file and 2 images  files (2 states of my button). The button itself works fine on a live  site. Now, I want to learn a technique to be able to put that button  with the effect and the link in it on an image (it would be like a  background for the button).
    Thanks in advance!

    Two things.
    First, when you save from Fireworks, you get a Fireworks document .png, complete with layers, vector objects, and all the other various complex definitions Fireworks can support. Fireworks is the only program that can interpret this information. Any other program (such as a browser) can display what the document looks like, but it's probably much larger than it needs to be for the Web. For Web use, you want to export an image (.gif, .jpg, or one of the bitmap .png variations). Be careful when you export an image to a bitmap .png format that you do not use the same name as your master FW document and overwrite your FW document.
    Second, DW is not a layout program. In order to create HTML files, you probably ought to learn a bit about HTML. I recommend you work through one or both of these tutorials:
    http://articles.sitepoint.com/article/html-css-beginners-guide
    http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/html-css-techniques/design-and-code-your-first-website-i n-easy-to-understand-steps/
    An HTML file defines blocks of content. The blocks can be stacked or can contain other blocks. The basic html file contains two blocks: the head section and the body section. The only thing in the head section that shows is the page title in the browser's address bar. Also, JavaScript code is often put in the head section. The body section contains all the visible content of your page. Within the body section, you add blocks of content that are HTML elements.
    Content blocks can have properties., One of the properties is a background image. If you want to have a page background, then you need to create an image, export it from Fireworks, and then set it as the background for the body section of the page. That image is then behind all the content blocks you define within the body section: buttons, paragraphs, other images, tables, anything. Most of these other elements can also have background images defined, too.
    Fireworks produces images that are defined by what's visible as well as any active slices (such as those created by buttons). When you exported your background image with a button, Fireworks gave you an HTML table (one of the many kind of content blocks) because the button defined slice regions. Fireworks can't "know" that you really wanted a background image and then the HTML to put a button in a certain location on a page. It created the images you defined (but not what you wanted).

  • What's the best way to save an 8.5 x 11 image for use as a page background in a PDF?

    What's the best way to save an 8.5 x 11 image for use as a page background in a PDF? My goal is to have a relatively small final .pdf file size that includes numerous pages with full 8.5 x 11 images as backgrounds in the document. If I save at 8.5 x 11 and 72dpi (example), the image is not 8.5 x 11, and the quality is not good enough. I need help with size, dpi, and file format to save as before I place it in InDesign and then save as a .pdf.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Do exactly what I said then.  Create the InDesign document of the required dimension, and chose whether it will be high quality print, or Interactive PDF.  It really doesn't mater what format you bring the image into that document.  It can be JPG, PNG, but I usually use native Photoshop PSD.  The image does have to be of high enough resolution, but it can be many times bigger than iis required for the final export.  (InDesign does not import the image, but rather references it on your hard drive.)
    When you have placed your text and finished your page, then export it to PDF, but go through the tabs chosing suitable settings.  If the image needs to be downsized, InDesign will do that at this stage while building the PDF.
    If you can tell us how this presentation will be made (Projector, overhead projector, printed page etc. or just emailed to the end users) we can help you more with the final output settings. 

  • I just purchased Export PDF to Excel and it does not export anything usable. Your terminology should not be "export" but paste image, which is of no value. Please cancel my account and refund my money. What a shame you would advertise this as a product.

  • Background Image not visible in a PDF report

    Hi Experts!
    I create a WORD 2007 template for BI Publisher 11g. I use a background image.
    When I test the template locally as a PDF, the background image is visible, but when I open the Report with the BI Publisher, there is no image.
    Has anyone an idea?
    Regards Norbert

    The size of the images was too big after compressing it. It worked fine.

  • Setting background image for repeating frame in .pdf report

    Is it possible to set a background image for a repeating frame, and more specifically for a repeating frame rendered in .pdf?
    I do not see any standard property in the navigator for images of any sort and the documentation touches only on setting background images for graphs, which is not the intent in my case. I -did- add an HTML table property background="myimage.jpg" but the report is ultimately generated in .pdf format and I was not surprised to see that the image was not rendered.
    Does anyone know if setting a background image as described is even possible, and if so, how? A second but less optimum solution would be setting the image as the background for all report pages, again in .pdf.
    Many thanks.

    Hi Raj,
    Yes you can have an image in the background. Thats possible if you are using XML forms as an iview or ivew dev in WebDynpro...
    Also check this [link|regarding background color change in iview]

  • How to export dynamic images into pdf

    hi,
    all the UI elements in the adobe form are generally connected to your web-dynpro Context.
    whatever you type in the online adobe form is reflected in the respective context attributes of the dynpro Context of the view where "ur Interactive form UI element is".
    that means you can yourself fill the contents of ur interactive form by working on the get/set methods of the context attributes.
    Likewise you can clear the form by setting all context attributes to blank eg ""
    <b>interactive form has two imp properties:-</b>
    <b>*dataSource</b>
    data source points to the node all whose context attributes will be made available in the interactive form
    <b>*pdfsource</b>
    points to the context attribute which will hold the pdf.
    note that the type of this pdfSorce attribute will be binary.
    if you still have doubts.
    give me your gmail mail id. i 'll send a tutorial.
    with regards,

  • Limit the columns when export RDL to TIFF or PDF image

    I am working on a report page with around 10 columns. When the report appears, there is a export button for user to export the report to csv, excel, tiff and pdf. There is a problem with the PDF and TIFF image when there are many columns,
    as width of the image file is shorter than the total columns width, some columns are 'split' to the next page. Is there any way to limit the columns in the export feature to TIFF where we can specify the maximum columns to be
    exported to the image file?
     

    One method you can try is to set visbility expressions for the column you want to hide based on RenderFormat. You can get this value from Globals collection. So expression for hidden property of those columns would be as below
    IIF(Globals!RenderFormat.Name = "IMAGE" Or Globals!RenderFormat.Name = "PDF",True,False)
    so as to not render them in those formats

  • Export background images in bulk

    Does anyone have problems exporting background images in bulk?  After I capture a series of images and try to export them all at once to an external library, only the first few images export.  Additionally, their names are cut off in the new folder.  Any suggestions?

    Since I cannot designate a file location for each background image (this is under the "type" column when you select the "update" feature in the library), I need to force that location to a drive on my computer.  Therefore, I need to export all the background images to the location on my computer than reimport those images into different projects.
    I don't understand why Captivate does not allow background images created using the software simulation manual mode to be exported in bulk.  It is very time consuming to export than one at a time.

  • Export an Image to PDF from a WAD Template

    Hi Friends,
    I want to export the Company Logo used in the template to the PDF. But here i am not allowed to use Report Designer for that.
    So can any body tell me how to export the image to PDF without using the Report Designer.
    Thank You.

    Hi,
    If you are using BI 7 here is what you should do.
    Insert the reaquired image 'Company Logo' in the MIME repository in the system first.
    1) Se80
    2) MIME repository --> choose an appropriate folder to put the image (if it is company logo you can choose SAP -> BW -> Customer -> Images)
    3) Remember, this will create a transport request and needs to be moved to every landscape whereever the template is accessed. It is common folder accessible to all SAP users in your system.
    In WAD,
    1) On the top you will find a button called 'Insert Image'
    2) Give the path to the image in the MIME repository.
    The source will mostly be like -> bwmimerep:///sap/bw/mime/Customer/Images/...Logo.gif etc.
    3) For the Export to PDF, use a Button item and assign command 'Export'. Keep Web Template and Web Item default and export format - PDF.
    When export button is clicked, along with all web items, your image will get exported to PDF.

  • How can I make background images (in p classes) appear in Review PDF?

    RoboHelp HTML 11.0.4.291.
    In my stylesheet, I have <p> classes for notes, tips, examples, and cautions. Each has a background image.
    p.note {
    background-image: url(note.jpg);
    background-repeat: No-Repeat;
    background-position: 0pt 12pt;
    margin-left: 12pt;
    border-left-style: none;
    border-right-style: none;
    border-top-style: none;
    border-bottom-style: none;
    padding-left: 40px;
    padding-top: 20px;
    padding-bottom: 20px;
    The images show in outputs but not in previews, nor in Review PDFs (Review | Create PDF for Review . . .).
    Is there a way to make those images appear?

    No way that I know of. You have the same problem with printed documentation. The background image's don't show up there either. Please log a bug report with Adobe: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&product=38

  • How to export a transparent image  background for the web

    Hi Everyone
    I have made a mock up webpage in adobe fireworks 5. I am  now in the process of using the slice tool to cut up the seperate parts and export them to dreamwever.
    My question is this: how do i slice the images in such a way that the background is transparent .
    Also,  when exporting the image that i have just made trasparent,  what do i need to do to expot it as a transparent background.
    warm regards
    Andreea

    When you're ready to transfer your Fireworks layout to DW select FILE > Image Preview. In Options select Format PNG8 and beneath the color grid change the No Transparency dropdown to Alpha Transparency.
    Click the Export button, name your file, choose the destination location, and in the dropdowns select Export > HTML and Images, HTML > Export HTML File, Slices > Export Slices, Pages > All Pages. (Also some choices may be handy for you in the Options button including Background Image for the exported file.)
    PNG can be used, just as JPG, TIFF, PICT, BMP and GIF, all of which are in your Options > Format dropdown list.
    Generally JPG is better for files that have gradients, GIF for simple images and text, but they don't do transparency so the larger PNG file is necessary for that.

  • Export to web page, background image option gone?

    Apologies if this has been addressed (couldn't get the right boolean search terms to work properly) as it is a simple question.
    Upgraded to iphoto '08 and now one of my favorite features in the 'export a web page' area doesn't appear to exist anymore - the option to use a background image instead of a color.
    Has this 'feature' been removed? It's easy to stick the line into the html code, but what I value is the fact that it (used to) modify each photo's html page, sticking that line in, which wouldn't be feasible for me to do manually.
    Thanks,

    Many thanks for pointing that out. In Composer I have been able to remove the path to my hard drive stored image. What shows now on page source is: <body style="background-image: url(cloudback800x600.jpg);"> but the image
    is still not visible. Your further advice will be appreciated.
