Getting Acrobat to display raster images in pdf's "As Is"

I hate the way acrobat resamples raster images on a monitor when it's not displaying it at its exact size. It looks like crap, not surprisingly, since it doesn't do resampling using opengl like photoshop does.
Let's say I create an image for viewing purposes only (I just want a client to open a pdf and be able to view my work as is), I save it as a 900x700 pixel image at 72dpi, but when I open the pdf it will always upscale it even when I edit the document properties and select "actual size" on initial display. I don't want any resizing, as the only way to display the image in pristine condition is if it's showing at its native resolution (ie 900x700 pixels).
Is there any way to control how a pdf will display an image on a client's machine? Or should I rather just build an offline web page and skip the pdf entirely?

The format in which a bitmap image is stored has no bearing whatsoever on the size it appears on screen.

That may not be so helpful either. Because depending upon Monitor size anything on a web page is Contracted or expanded as well. Example what on say a 27" screen is going to look much different than on a 17" If its saved as a Jpeg image you will always have this.
If save as a PNG it will Remain the same shape and detail just get larger or smaller

How can I get Acrobat Reader X to send my pdf to the printer?

My pdf just looks at me while I push all of the buttons, file menus and keyboard shortcuts associated with printing and it does nothing. No dialog box, no nothing. All three of my printers work and i've tried them all. It just doesn't do anything. Any suggestions? I really need help here.

How to display the Image in PDF report by using iText Report

Hi
Im trying to display the image which is very big one.
This is my code
Document document=new Document();
PdfWriter.getInstance(document,new FileOutputStream("imagePDF.pdf"));
document.open();
Image image = Image.getInstance ("1.bmp");
document.add(new Paragraph("Images in PDF"));
document.add(image);
document.close();
But the image "1.bmp" is displayed partially. Its not spanning to the next page.
Can anyone help me to solve this one?
Thanks in Advance
dhilip

Do you actually want the image to span multiple pages? I am not sure that will be possible without splitting the image; the itext mailing list would be the place to ask.
You could make the the page size big enough for the image using Document.setPageSize()

Cannot get Acrobat Reader or Pro to open PDF IN FF browser

I have a Win7, 64 bit laptop. I have Acrobat Pro X, and Acrobat Reader 11.
I cannot get FF to open a pdf using either of these readers INSIDE the browser. I do not like the internal PDF viewer and I was trying to get Acrobat to render the PDF in the browser. However, whenever I choose acrobat (either one) in options, it will merely download it and open it the application. However, what I want it to do is to open it IN the browser, not in the application.
There is no option for Portable Document Format that includes Acrobat in browser. I had configured it to work properly, but I had to reformat my computer and I can't get it to work again. I have disabled and re-enabled the add-ins for Acrobat, and I still can't get it to work.

Which version(s) of Adobe Reader/Adobe Acrobat do you have? Do you know whether they are up-to-date? I recommend using the product's Help menu to Check for Updates to make sure they are up-to-date.
Then open the Firefox Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* 3-bar menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins.
Look in the lower section (gray background) for "Adobe Acrobat" and change it from "Never Activate" to "Always Activate".
Then it should become available in the Options dialog.
Does it work?
Also, I noticed you have a NitroPDF plugin listed in your More System Details. In case that one is conflicting, if you don't plan to use it, consider switching it to "Never Activate" when you are on the Add-ons page.

Displaying JPG images in PDF report

Hi
We developed a report, wich generates modul documentation from designer repository. In the repository the JPG images are attached to modules. The images have different sizes. The report reads the modules description and displays the images attached to modules.
The report resizes the images. Seems like the image wide is resized to fit perfectly in the containing frame.
This behavior is god when we have a bigger image, than the containing frame. But if we have a smaller image than the frame, the reports enlarges the image.
How can we prevent this behavior?
Thanks

I think for that particular image object in layout model, if you can set the vertical and horizontal elasticity to fix, the image will not resize.
Thanks

Incorrect display of images in PDF on iPad

I have a problem with displaying images in a PDF on the iPad. The PDF is created from a MS-Word file on a PC.
On a PC, the images in the PDF display OK.
On an iMac, the images in the PDF display OK.
Only on the iPad, the images in the PDF display weird, see these pictures:
First the correct image as it is diplayed on PC and iMac:
And this is how it looks on my iPad:
The text in the PDF is OK, it just that (some) images display faulty.

it is possible that you transferred data to your ipod through my computer or something, that wuold not show up in the library or be accessable on your ipod but it would still take up space, for example i saved my whole cmoputer and all the files on my ipod drive for system recovery and it showed my ipod at full capacity with only 600 songs

Printed documentation does not display some images in PDF

Some of the images in my printed documentation do not display
in my PDF. The majority of the images display fine, but a few are
missing. There is a gap where the image is supposed to appear, but
no image displays.
Am using RoboHelp 6.0 for HTML

Do they appear in Word? What version of Word? Is it always
the same images? How much RAM do you have?

But here the problem is when i executed this application i am able to see the VORNA and NACHN fields in ADOBE Form. But the employee photo is not appearing in adobe form.
Here employee photo i amretreving from archive link.
Even i set the Imagefield property URL in Adobe forms. i.e $record.IM_PHOTO.
Any solutions regarding this...
Regards,
Shankar.

Hi Shankar,
according to the sap documentation (inserting a graphic), I could imagine the following problems
1.) image file type is not supported (-> "see the online help in Adobe LiveCycle Designer under Defining Object Properties ® Image Fields ® About Image Fields" )
when you use "Graphic Reference"
2.) url could not be accessed.(-> "This means that you may have to configure appropriate access rights for Adobe Document Services (ADS)" ).
Maybe this will help you finding the problem.

Andreas

Images in PDF reports

I have a report that indicates the health of a project by showing an image, like a stop light. The query looks like this:
select     "PM_PROJECTS"."ID" as "ID",
'<img src="#APP_IMAGES#'||lower(HEALTH)||'.gif">' health_image,
     "PM_PROJECTS"."OWNING_TEAM" as "OWNING_TEAM",
     "PM_PROJECTS"."PROJECT_NAME" as "PROJECT_NAME",
"PM_PROJECTS"."PHASE" as "PHASE",
     "PM_PROJECTS"."HEALTH" as "HEALTH"
from     "PM_PROJECTS" "PM_PROJECTS"
where "PM_PROJECTS"."ID" <> 144
The client likes paper reports, so I have a link to "print" the report to PDF. However, the image does not appear on the PDF version of the report, just an empty column. Is there a way to display the image in PDF output?
Thanks in advance!

Hi
I'm actually wondering about the same thing, however, I'd like to implement a BLOB-image in a PDF Report.
I found this link http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2006/05/05#a34 which makes it seem that BI Publisher supports base64encoded pictures. (There's a sample there aswell)
Now my question is; how can we get the blobdata presented as base64 in the XML from ApEx? Anyone with some experience on this?

Immediately after updating Acrobat Pro XI to the latest version, the software no longer displays imags in pdf docs.

Immediately after updating Acrobat Pro XI to the latest version, the software no longer displays images in pdf docs. All the boxes where images are supposed to be are solid grey. Old documents that worked are no longer displayed correctly and new documents I make do not display images. All grey boxes. Worked fine before the update. Suggestions?

Hi precious_star,
Could you please let me know what version of OS are you using.
Open Acrobat and go to "Edit > Preferences > Page Display" and check whether 'Show large images' option is checked.
Is this issue specific for one PDF?
If possible, please share the file with me via email so that I can also check at my end.
I have sent you a message with my contact id details.
Hope to get your response.

Can an Acrobat form have a field that allows you to select and display an image?

Hello,
I'm trying to streamline my most frequent job duty. I work for a box plant and I spend most of my day creating or updating Print Cards. These are letter sized pages that contain the job information along the top and an image of the package laid flat below. What I'm trying to do is make the Print Card a form that I can fill in, and have the final field ask me to select the image. I would then browse for my package design and drop it into the specified field.
Is this possible? It seems like it should be. I'm fairly illustrator savvy, but I've yet to really get my hands on Acrobat (though I get more excited about it the more research I do).
Eventually, I want to turn this single form into a full portfolio that would be linked pdf versions of every form we currently use. The info would then be uploaded and assessable by anyone on our team. I don't know how to do half of that, but I'm learning. So I guess, expect to see me post on this for a while.

Yes, you can set up a button that has a layout other than "Label only" and use the following as the Mouse Up JavaScript for the button:
// Mouse Up script for button
event.target.buttonImportIcon();
You will then be prompted to select a file as the source of the button icon. You can choose form a number of file types. You should then set the button to read-only before sending the PDF.
To trigger the import from a different button, bookmark, link, etc., the script would be:
getField("image_button").buttonImportIcon();
Replace "image_button" with the actual name of the button that will display the image.

PDF Watermark - logo image is not displayed in ibr converted pdf

Hi
I have enabled pdf watermark administration and configured image watermark with rule, if the content type is document then the image watermark is to be applied but it is not displayed to the converted word document to pdf by IBR.
If i change image watermark layer to "over", then image watermark is displayed, but word are displayed under the logo image watermark, so it is difficult to study the document.
If the native file is pdf, then its image watermark is working fine.
Thanks
Deepak

Hi ,
I think this could be caused by the following :
Check the factor set for Transparency and if it is completely opaque (Transparency =0%) then the converted PDF's will not show watermarks which has Layer set to UNDER.
To get the watermarks displayed PPT's will need to be set to Transparency = 100% .
The intention of the UNDER watermarking layer is that it should appear"behind" whatever is in the content layer.If the content layer completely covers the page and is opaque, then nothing behind it will be visible,including watermarks.The only reasonable solution is to check the above mentioned value before submitting the PPT's for conversion so that users are aware of this behavior for PPT's
The above description if for PPT's where in this was found to be caused by the transparency factor of native PPT . If it is a word document then check for the same setting and set to 100% , then test .
Hope this helps .
Thanks,
Srinath

Displaying image in pdf format - what is this image format?

Hi All,
I have a requirement where I need to embed an image in a pdf report that gets generated in BIP. The image is passed as a byte array from an external application , that BIP should recieve as a parameter and display it. The byte array looks very similar to the image that rtf generates when an image is pasted in it and the default xsl-fo template and style-sheet is created usign the BIP Word Plugin.
The issue that I am facing is that, the byte-code is not getting displayed as an image in the pdf.
When I pasted the image for the corresponding byte code in an rtf and generated the default xslfo file that BIP plugin generates, I am getting a different set of charecters than what is being send to BIP as parameter.
I have read about CLOB and BLOB being queried from database using sql and displayed as image.
I would like to know what exactly is the BIP Plugin converting the image to , when I paste it in an rtf and convert it to xsl-fo style sheet.
If I have not made my query very clear and you are still confused about what I am talking about , please try this out in an rtf template.
1) Open blank rtf template
2) Paste any tiff or jpg image in your rtf template and save it.
3) Goto Addin --> Tools --> Export --> Click on FO Formated XML or XSL FO Style sheet in the Menu
4) An xml document will be opened in your default browser.
5) Scroll down to the section with the tag " <fo:instream-foreign-object"
6) Will see a big charecter set, which I believe is some form of representation of the image pasted in the rtf.
               <fo:block>
                         <fo:instream-foreign-object
                         content-type="image/png"
                         width="163.5375pt"
                         height="53.07pt"
                         xdofo:alt="An Image"
                         xdofo:image-uid="fbasadsadaferehgffhghd1dvcxab9">
                         <xsl:value-of select="$Logo3"/>
                         </fo:instream-foreign-object>
               </fo:block>
WHERE $Logo3 is declared as parameter and
= /9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAgEAYABgAAD/7Q0YUGhvdG9zaG9wIDMuMAA4QklNA+0KUmVz b2x1dGlvbgAAAAAQAGAAAAABAAEAYAAAAAEAAThCSU0EDRhGWCBHbG9iYWwgTGln aHRpbmcgQW5nbGUAAAAABAAAAHg4QklNBBkSRlggR2xvYmFsIEFsdGl0dWRlAAAA ................................................goes on!!! [ 200000+ charecters]
I would like to know what this image type is? Is this a byte array?
If any one has had this and successfully taclkled this sort of requirement please help!!!
Any pointers, explanations in this regard would be really helpful
Thanks in advance

Mail with image and PDF not displaying correctly on Outlook

Environment and problem
OS X Mountain Lion, Mail 6.1 (everything up to date)
Emails with mixed image and PDF attachments send from my MacBoox Pro are not being displayed correctly when received on Outlook. It is not an Outlook problem.
Multiple inline images - ok
I compose an email, rich text format, insert severnal inline images, send to colleage on Windows 7 using Outlook, all received ok. He sees the message with inline images.
Multiple inline images and PDF - not ok
I compose a similar email with multiple inline images, but attach a PDF. This time all of the attachments (images and PDF) appear at the end of the message when viewed in Outlook.
Gmail browser comparison
I repeat the above from a Gmail account via Safari and I can make an email with inline images and PDF attachments and it works.
Any thoughts, tips, bug reports, etc appreciated.
Jon

No - can't be an Apple fan and then critisise MS for being proprietry
My problem was solved by installing Attachment Tamer.
It could also have been solved by emailing from Gmail directly.
The guys I work with use Outlook and were suprised to see this behaviour.
It's only basic OS X email that has a problem.
I wholeheartedly agree that the standard for emails are not conducive for rich layout control.
But - when my email just has images I had no problems. Take for example the email notifications we're getting from this thread - there are images and layout etc and work fine.
The key feature from Attachment Tamer hints at the problem (and its solution):
send images embedded in HTML layout and safely mix embedded images with other attachments;
