Image Field - Scaling Issue

Hi,
I'm using Interactive Forms for priting sales orders. For each line item I display a small product image in an image field. For this image field I use the setting "Sizing - Scale Image Proportionally". If I use this form as a print form evrything works fine, the image is being scaled correctly. But if I use it as an interactive form (parameter /1BCDWB/DOCPARAMS-FILLABLE = 'X' ) the following occurs:
The image is being resized to fit into the image field. It looks like using "Sizing - Scale Image to Fit Rectangle". The funny thing: If I use a default image for this field, it is being displayed correctly in the "Body Pages" tab, but not in the "PDF Preview". It's only being scaled proportionally if in the form properties the preview type is "Print Form" (or parameter /1BCDWB/DOCPARAMS-FILLABLE = ' ' ).
In my eyes it looks like an ADS issue. But maybe somebody of you got an idea how I could fix that problem.
Thanks & regards,
Matthias

hi,
the process which u followed is correct but the thing is u hv forget to enable the check box called "embedded image"........ which will be present in the image properties.......... if u enable this check box then the image will be displayed in pdf preview.
I hope i solved the issue.
Thnx,

Image rotationY, scaling issue

Can anyone tell me why in example #1, the image, when rotated (by -45   degrees on y axis), is scaled properly, but in example #2, it's   stretched so it's wider than it should be? the main difference is, in   example #1, the carousel items consist of an image within a movieclip;   whereas, in example #2, the carousel items consist of an image within a   movieclip, within a movieclip.
(the main reason i switched each item to be the image, within a movieclip, within a moveclip, was so that when you nagivate through the items, and hover over the larger item in focus, it rotates so that it remains upright & parallel with the screen. if i kept it like example #1, the movieclip would rotate based on the axis of the carousel container (it wouldn't always be upright & parallel with the screen)
example #1
example #2
my theory is it has to do with the perspective and/or items being 3d or   not (having a matrix3D object)..but i need a push in the right   direction..thanks!

LiveCycle Designer 8.0 - Image Field Issue

I am using LiveCycle Designer 8. Ive inserted an image field and when I test it, the image doesnt scale proportionally even though the properties are set up correctly (Scale image proportionally). I understand that in order to get this to work, the files needs to be saved as a dynamic PDF, but I don't have an option of saving as a dynamic PDF. The only "Save as" type options I have are Adobe 7 (Static) PDF Form and Adobe 8 (Static) PDF Form. I also don't have an option of saving as a "dynamic" PDF in the Acrobat Save As window.
Is there a way to work around this or am I doing something wrong. The file was designed in InDesign, exported to a PDF and then brought into LiveCycle to insert text fields and an image field for a user to input their contact info and their logo. The 5 text fields work perfectly and the one image field works EXCEPT for scaling proportionally even though the properties for that field are set correctly.
I appreciate any assistance. Thanks!

Did you import the file using "Create an Interactive Form with Fixed Pages" as your selection on the Import dialog? If so, this brings in the original InDesign PDF as "artwork" (a background layer) on which your form fields are placed. This document can't be dynamic. That might be the issue.

Image scaling issues

I am using a 1280x720 PNG for the background in my Flash movie, but when I play it in fullscreen the image looks like crap. What's the best way to make images still look good when the movie is scaled up? Should I use a 1920x1080 PNG and scale it down instead?

Let me help you understand.
Resampling occurs even without scaling on any bitmaps with smoothing enabled. A pixel level detail loss is noticable immediately, pixels are resampled until blurred.
Without turning on smoothing, the original image has no original resampling applied. Scaling performs a cleaner nearest neighbor resample that preserves hard pixels. At original size and while upscaling this produces a much cleaner result. While pixel edges are less resampled (upscale blur) the detail is still intact.
While turning smoothing on, the original image is immediately resampled (bilinear, trilinear, bicubic, etc). The pixel detail loss is immediately obvious even at original scale. This blurring helps during rotation and reduction but during upscale the amount of resampling get heavier and heavier until the image is excessively blurred. The only slight benefit is edges appear smoother, but the reality is the edges are blurred to death. This is why it very limitedly helps to some people but really doesn't help at all.
Here's an example of a small choice piece of a free Harley poster showing the effects of smoothing at original and 200% scales. An additional small portion of the original image is scaled 3x (nearest neighbor resampling (no smoothing)) to illustrate the difference in pixels even at original scale. The detail loss, while much less at original size, is still visible with smoothing.
Example Image
The top 3 images are with smoothing enabled. It's immediately obvious the level of blur is pretty harsh on the original image. The zoom-in shows the pixel blurring compared to the image with no smoothing below it. Color is shifted and muddied from bright to dark very noticably.
The upscaled image is where the real destruction takes place. The curved tire, angled spokes and spring are the most harsh environment for nearest neighbor scale. Smoothing has blurred them so much in the resample they appear a lot smoother. Only it's so blurry you can barely look at the picture without your eyes watering. To a photographer, this is a throw-away photo, far too out of focus.
The bottom image shows no smoothing enabled. The original size bitmap retains a great deal more pixel clarity and detail. The 300% zoomed image shows much brighter, more accurate colors having not been resampled. During the upscale the pixels are only nearest neighbor therefore you can see the extremely slight anti-aliasing performed. Hard pixels stand out more, much more true to the original image. Highlights on metals are still bright, colors are more accurate and more pixel level detail is exposed and enlarged. While edge enhancement would be nice, it looks far better without blurring the details and colors out of existence.
Therefore smoothing really doesn't help upscale or even original size without pixel and color destruction. The best option is not to require Flash to perform any scaling on a bitmap unless edge-only resampling becomes available. The small benefit it gives is working with a far less quality bitmap which might render some slight performance advantages in memory ops for huge images. At the loss of detail, this is arguably more of disadvantage than advantage.

Image Field - Runtime href Setting issue

I am trying this simple code to set a href of an Image/ImageField object which is not working.

Hi Paul,
I tried this logic on exit event of a drop-down list.
My requirement is to have a dynamic table on which each column will have an employee drop-down & a photo (image field).
On choosing the employee name, the photo must appear on the image field. The form will then be saved and send to a manager for approval.
The photos of the employees are already saved in a file location.
Is this possible?
Thanks,

Image field issues in Adobe LiveCycle Designer

Hello All,
When I create an image field in Adobe Designer (I'm creating some interactive forms), the field does not end up being the exact size I specify. It is very important to me that the end size be precise, but Designer seems to allow some border instead of filling the extents I have specified. In other words, the image someone inserts into the image field ends up being a little smaller than it should be. This is very frustrating, and I have to try to compensate for this glitch by specifying image field dimensions that are larger than what I want. (This is not a problem of my not specifying scale to fit, or stretch to fit; when I do this, the image is still too small.)
Another question I have is this: Why doesn't Adobe allow vector graphics to be imported into Designer? I am forced to convert my vector graphics to raster images to bring them into Adobe Designer. Designer doesn't even accept a PDF image, which I find ironic.
This is a super super urgent project work I am doing..
Please help..
Dimitri

Better too late than never!
Here's an answer that I got today about this "bug":
"It seesm to be related to the setting "Use Original Size". If it is initially set at that setting the picture gets messed up and cannot recover. If I use Fit to Rectangle it seems OK ...then I can change it at will."
Weird.

Placing Images and PPI issues

Hello, I am new to InDesign.. I am a digital artist who has only used PS in the past, so I'm used to manipulating images however I like concerning PPI, DPI, and pixels. I am now creating an app for ipad use and created the background images for the pages in PS. Now, I'm placing them into ID. When I do that, no matter what I have the file saved as, it converts the image to a different ppi.
When I created the images in PS, I used the standard ipad resolution (262px) and dimensions. When I created the ID file, I used the standard ipad dimensions and the ppi is obviously much lower, at 72?
Is there a way to set the ID resolution, or do I need to create my documents with only 72ppi? This doesn't seem like it would give the best image viewing available on the ipad.
Thank you!

InDesign respects the original size and resolution of images, as long as you keep them at 100% of the original size. When they are at 100%, the "Actual ppi" and "Effective ppi" fields of the Info panel display the same value. In your specific case, the Info panel needs to show "262" in both fields. If not, it means that the respective image is scaled. To verify its scale, click the image using the Direct Selection Tool (the "white arrow" one) and look at the percentage fields in the Control Panel. (By the way, the resolution of the retina iPads is 264 ppi, not 262.)
When importing an image, the easiest way to assure that it will be placed at 100% is simply clicking the loaded cursor instead of dragging it. Give it a try.
But bear in mind that this "ppi" issue only matters for print publications. For tablet apps, what is important is the number of pixels; the resolution is irrelevant. For retina iPads, you need to use twice the size you use in a standard screen iPad. So, if you want a full-page image in an old iPad, the image dimensions must be 1024 by 768 pixels. If you want the same image in full screen on a retina iPad, create it with 2048 by 1536 pixels. You'll get a better explanation here: http://www.planetquark.com/2012/03/14/132-ppi-72-dpi-264-ppi-what-image-resolution-should- you-use-the-for-new-ipad/#.UhdbsLwWFL8

Image Field Not Displaying Images Properly

I am using LiveCycle Designer 7.0 for the sole purpose of having the ability to insert an image field on my documents. I have set up the image field so that an inserted image is scaled-to-fit and right-aligned. When I insert an image, it does insert scaled-to-fit; however, it is always centered. When my coworker inserts an image it is stretched-to-fit and centered. I have double- and triple-checked that I have formatted the image field correctly. It isn't working as programmed. Is this a bug with LiveCycle Designer or is there a way to fix the problem?

Hi guys,
I'm also having this issue with Image Fields in Reader 8 - they skew no matter what setting you choose to display them as.
Anyone know of a workaround (maybe a javascript to force image proportionality?)? Image Fields are not very helpful if you require all of your users to download Reader 9...
Also, I'm aware that Image Fields work properly as long as you do NOT import a pdf as background artwork. So it could potentially work if you save your background pdf as an image and add it into a new Designer file as an image. But this causes loss of picture resolution...
Appreciate any help!

Image Field Scale Proportionally does not work

Dear all,
we are using LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 to program a dynamic form in which we want to use image fields. Users filling the form should choose the picture to display in the image field.
We set the Image Field to embed data (so it can be saved) and to scale proportionally.
Testing the form with Adobe Reader 8.1.4 or 9.1, it’s possible to insert a picture, but it does not get scaled and seems to be positioned in the Background of the form.
Who can help us fixing this problem? If helpful, i can provide a copy of the form draft. Thanks in advance for any help und
kindest regards
Tobias

Yehaaa,
figured it out by myself. Sometimes it's good to sleep a night over it ...
The solution is: In the Layout Tab of the image field, no exact measures were defined (extend to fit boxes checked). This way the poor program goes into a circuit.
Cheerio

Graphics scaling issues in Flash Builder 4.5.1

Please review this screen shot. Details follow the image.
FB 4.5.1
applicationDPI = "160"
Graphics using MultiDPIBitmapSource scale fairly well.
Graphics used for these properties do not scale well at all:
1) ViewMenuItem's "icon" property.
2) List itemRenderer IconItemRenderer "decorator" property.
3) TabbedViewNavigatorApplication's "splashScreenImage" property.
These graphics assets end up with horrible scaling artifacts, making them unusable. So, I cannot use icons with Menus or Lists or a splash image.
I've reviewed all of Adobe's documentation and followed all of their recommendations for creating graphics assets for use in a mobile applications. Simple graphics with no curved lines or angles less than 90 degrees scale well. Anything else does not.
Attached is a screen shot comparing the scaling issues at 160, 240 and 320 dpi with applicationDPI = "160". It is using an FXG graphic created in Illustrator CS5.5.
The FXG graphic was embedded in the s:IconItemRenderer like this: decorator = "{images.arrow_list_icon}".
For testing purposes, I also tried switching the decorator at runtime based on the applicationDPI, but of course this fails as the application still scales the graphic whenever the application's applicationDPI property is specified.
<s:List>
<s:itemRenderer>
<fx:Component>
<s:IconItemRenderer
decorator = "{chooseDecorator()}"
<fx:Script>
//This code selects a different FXG asset based on the DPI reported at runtime.
import images.arrow_list_icon160;
import images.arrow_list_icon240;
import images.arrow_list_icon320;
import mx.core.FlexGlobals;
protected function chooseDecorator():Class {
    var rtnVal:Class;
    switch (FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.runtimeDPI) {
        case mx.core.DPIClassification.DPI_160:
            rtnVal=images.arrow_list_icon160;
            break;
        case mx.core.DPIClassification.DPI_240:
            rtnVal=images.arrow_list_icon240;
            break;
        case mx.core.DPIClassification.DPI_320:
            rtnVal=images.arrow_list_icon320;
            break;
    return rtnVal;
</fx:Script>
Has anyone come up with methods which can be used to avoid scaling issues with these items when setting the applicationDPI property?

Chances are that you'll get better answers for this question on the Flex general discussion forum. This forum is visited more by engineers on the tooling team while the latter has people from the Flex SDK team.

Using Javascript in Acrobat to emulate LiveCycle Image Field

Hello All,
I have a complex pdf form with numerous validation & calculation javascript calls that really could use the image field functionality of LiveCycle: that is, to have a user with Reader insert their own image into a fillable form. The images do not need to be submitted or extracted in any way.
Is there any work around for this feature in Acrobat 9 Pro (which I have) or X (which I might be able to get) with JS that might create or approximate the image field functionality? Given the complexity and volume of JS calls, I can't see it being worth converting the form to LC and recreating is not an option at this point. Any advice would be welcome. Thank you in advance.

Unfortunately no, which is a pointless and silly restriction. Please submit a feature request for this in the hope that it may get restored some day. Feel free to add to this one: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/743823?tstart=0
This issue came up yesterday both here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/844010?tstart=0

Images and image field problem

Hi
I would like the user to be able to upload an image that will be scaled proportionally to the size of the field pre determined.
I understand that options of image field: "scale image proportionally" is meant for this exactly.
For some reason, this works with images but not with image fields.
please see a printscreen I have made of the problem: same field size and same image uploaded
thanks

In Lightroom, there is no specific location where the photos should go. You can put them wherever you want, based upon your storage needs and hard drive setup.
So, with regards to your specific question, yes you can put the photos in the same folder as where the .lrcat is located, I can't see any harm, but I also don't think you need to do the work to make that happen. You can pretty much leave your photos where they are (which is easier and less time consuming) than moving them to the .lrcat folder, and easier and less time consuming than moving them at all.
In fact, I strongly suggest you change your thought processes from "Where do I put my photos" to "How can I organize my photos". Now that you are a Lightroom user, you organize your photos from within Lightroom, not by moving them here to there, but by adding keywords and other metadata. Organizing, now that you are LR user, is not folders ... it is metadata. Searching, now that you are a LR user, is not done in your operating system and in folders, it is done in LR by searching for keywords and other metadata.

Image field in Crystal XI

Hi we are usign crystal 8.5 and we were displaying image field from the database and it works just fine..
Now we migrate to crystal XI and suprise these image field does not show anymore. The detail area where the image field should be displayed stay white and the image not show..
Why it was working fine in 8.5 and not anymore in XI?? Is there anyway to do that with crystal XI?????
Thank you
Eric

Hi. We did install Crystal XI SP2 release 6 on a fresh new computer windows 7 32 and 64 bit and still same issue. we add a .bmp into our SQL image field. We drop the field on crystal design window and it does not show any image. We do same thing with the Crystal 8.5 and it works. Do you have any idea why or how we can surely make this works
thanks a million

Image from db issue

Hi All,
I have a image in my sqlserver tabel. the data type is 'image'.
I want to show this image on my report.
In the designer of my dataset i set the type of the image field als System.Byte for the image field. I get this error when loading the report:
Inconvertible type mismatch between SourceColumn 'Res_photo' of Byte[] and the DataColumn 'Res_photo' of Byte
Then i changed the the type of the field on the designer as System.Byte[] manualy. Now when loading the report, i get no error bud still don't see the image
Can anyone help me with this issue?
Thanks.

Scaling issue going from computer to flat screen tv.

I have a client that has shot thousands of pictures from his world travels over the years some in the raw format some in jpeg. He created a slide show in Photoshop Elements of the pictures and when he shows them through his computer onto his large Toshiba HD flat screen some of them come out jagged (doesn't matter if they are jpeg or raw). I am assuming it is a scaling issue causing this. Question can some one please give me the right instructions on how to go about fixing this so all of his pictures come out crystal clear on his flat screen? Thanks.

What is the current pixel dimension of the images that are causing the issue?
