Image Quality in PDF Reports

Hi,
I have a rectangular JPG image which is holding the company logo. Most of the image's background is coloured white.
If I import the image into MS Word for example, when I print out the document the image is very high quality, sharp, etc.
When I import this image into an Oracle Reports via menu: insert / image, although it appears fine when looking at it in Report Builder on the 'Paper Layout', when I run the report the image in the output PDF has lost quality and when printed out, the white background (which should be white) prints as as a light shade of grey.
Does anyone know how to stop the loss of quality on the image and how to stop the background of the image printing as light grey ?
I'm running Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2.
Many Thanks, Mark

This document explains how to increase the image resolution when exporting:

But it's for Crystal Enterprise 8.0, do you know if Crystal Reports 11 will work the same way?

Image Quality In Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010

I am using the new production release of Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 and I am having an issue with image quality when adding an image to a crystal report.
The image itself is a .TIF file, and when opened in Windows, the quality of the image, which is mostly text, is very high. The image was created from a electronic PDF form and I intend to use this as a background for the crystal report, over which I will place data fields.
As soon as the image is added to the report you can see the degradation in quality in the design window and in the preview window within visual studio. The quality remains low when viewing the report in the WPF report viewer and when printing from this control.
I have ensured the "Retain Original Image Color Depth" option is checked but this has made no difference (the image is black and white anyway).
The image in the report has been left at its native size, no resizing at all. The image is 355KB in size if that's relevant.
Is there a reason the image looses quality when added to a report? Is it being compressed? More importantly, is there a way to make the image retain its native quality when adding it to a crystal report?
Thanks in advance.

The following image is the image I am trying to display. Although imageshack has converted it to a png, if you right click and save the image you can open it and zoom in with little image degradation.

The following is a screen shot of how the tif file looks in the designer when zooming in:

The second image has lost its clarity and is unusable when printing.
I hope this helps.

How to print a BLOB (image) on a PDF report using Oracle APEX Listener as Print Server

Hi,
I use APEX 4.2.
I have the following query as SQL text for a Report Queries in Shared Components:
select
    customer_id,
    cust_first_name,
    cust_last_name,
    cust_street_address1,
    cust_street_address2,
    cust_city,
    cust_state,
    cust_postal_code,
    phone_number1,
    phone_number2,
    credit_limit,
    cust_email,
    filename,
    company_profile,
    -- customer_image,
    decode(nvl(dbms_lob.getlength(customer_image),0),0,null,
    '<img style="border: 4px solid #CCC; -moz-border-radius: 4px; -webkit-border-radius: 4px;" '||
    'src="' ||
    apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P22_CUSTOMER_IMAGE', customer_id) ||
    '" height="75" width="75" alt="Photo Customer" title="Photo Customer" />') customer_image,
    mimetype,
    image_last_update
from
    demo_customers;
I am unable to have the image printed on the PDF report. Even when the P22_CUSTOMER_IMAGE is defined as session state item.
Does someone knows how to print such image/BLOB in a PDF report?
Thanks by advance.
Kind Regards.

Hi,
Indeed, I would need a custom layout.
Unfortunately, it seems (according to this white paper) not possible with the APEX listener only. I would need a third pary tool. A pity...
For me strange, that I cannot generate such a report having images or pictures in a pre-definied report layout... Maybe a future enahancement for Oracle.
Kind Regards.

Poor image quality in pdf for Aperture book

Can anyone tell me how to retain the quality of original images when I export to PDF for book production in Aperture?
I am trying to produce a book with 11 pages, in large soft back format. Most of the images are black and white, and all are PNGs. Individual files size are typically 12MB - 20MB, and the longer side of the images is mostly over 5000 pixels. They all look very clean and crisp full screen in Aperture, and there are no warning triangles in the page make-ups to highlight any instances of poor resolution.
I’m producing the PDF, via ‘Print’ > ‘Save as PDF’. The resulting file is 2.6MB.
Viewed in Preview, some of the images in the PDF superficially appear to be OK. Some are not - and are very indistinct. Zooming in on the images in Preview shows that very few are useable.
I produced a colour book, with larger pages last year and was very happy with both the PDF and the finished book in print. Some example file sizes from that one were: 15.3MB (3950x2633) and 9.30MB (2880x 1920).
I had expected the black and white images to work even better.
What am I doing wrong here?
I'm using Aperture 3.2.1 on a MacBook Pro running 10.6.8.

I just remade the same book - as a test - in the extra large hardback format (ie. the one I used for the previous publication, last year).
This time, the pictures are fine. The images appear to be the same quality in the PDF as the originals - much, much better. The size of the file has increased massively too > up from just 2.6MB to 52.8MB.
So does the books production function work well only with the biggest, most expensive option?
I'd really appreciate some feedback from anyone who's tried the different sizes, and preferably some brilliant ideas to make them all work equally well.

Image quality in PDF files

Hi. I add images to pdf files all the time and I have a question about them. The image quality seems to be bad in certain situations. For example I added a 501x483 72dpi gif image to a 1190x1684 pdf file. It looks great at 75% zoom but really jagged at 100% zoom. Why is it like this? Shouldn't it be same as the original image file at 100% zoom?
I'd really appreciate any guidance about making images look better in pdf files.

Hi
Thanks for the responses. I tried Print to PDF. In that images look better although they are little distorted. However, I cannot use print because the Table of Contents prepared in Word does not work when we use Print. Secondly, the PDF file size becomes too large when using Print to PDF.
While directly creating PDF from word using Acrobat, I changed settings for Images (in Preferences) turning downsampling off after changing it to 1800 pixels but that did not help either. Is there anything I am missing out or Is there any other resolution?
Else is there any setting in PDF so that after conversion we can show the images more clearly, maybe if someone hovers over the image it becomes big or clicking on it makes it look bigger.
Looking forward to make this problem resolve.
Thanks

Horribe image quality in PDF

Hello,
my problem is very simple.
The quality of the image of my PDF is really horrible.
I need to have a PDF file because in order to print a magazine, that's the file that I need.
So I converted my picture:
http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2013/09/1362170332-2.png
Good quality for now.
Then, when I convert it PDF with Adobe Acrobat XI,
the result is very blurry, I tried to print it, very very bad quality ...
Is there any solution to keep the quality as good as it was?
(by the way, my image was a .png )
Thanks to the person who'll help me!

The relative quality of any bitmap file after conversion to PDF depends entirely on the conversion settings you used. A lossless PNG file could be compressed to a super-low-quality JPEG or kept visually identical with lossless JPEG2000 compression depending on how and where the PDF is made.
As your screenshot shows the image within a page of text, I assume you're creating the PDF from another application - in which case the export settings will control everything. If you convert an isolated image file to PDF with drag-drop or the Create.. button on the Acrobat toolbar, the settings are defined by Preferences > Convert to PDF > PNG and default to "JPEG medium".

Poor Image quality upon PDF export

hi,
issue: images lose quality when viewed in PDFs
i've searched/read these and other forums for the past few days and have tried just about every suggestion out there in order to get better quality images in my PDFs and nothing works.. it's as if everyone is talking some theory without actually testing/proving what they're saying.
are pdfs inherently bad at handling raster images?
i have a few 800x1200 px renders (tiffs/jpgs) that i'd like to include in a PDF.. i'm using A4 landscape orientation because when viewed at full size on a 24" monitor, it's the size i'd like it to be (i'm not concerned with printing this pdf.. monitor only)
the images when view full size in the pdf are a bit smaller than viewing the original images full size however, the quality is a lot worse.
honestly, i'll try or retry your suggestions but at this point, i'm more/less looking for an explanation as to why this happens because from what i can tell, it's going to happen no matter what
gracias

Not sure what you are expecting.
well, i'm certainly expecting better quality than what i'm getting..
The jpg is contrasty and it is lower resolution than you need, but you did say that above. Which means I am not looking at what you are looking at.
The color space is srgb and the conversion from the tiff would have reduced the quality a little or a lot depending on your settings.
it doesn't matter if i use the original tiff or the jpg.. for all intents and purposes, let's forget i even have the tiff.. the jpg should look the same in the pdf (imo)
Did you print to pdf or Export? If you exported, did you use "Best" as your setting.
i've done all sort of methods.. but yeah, always at highest quality if said method allows such settings..
It has lost some contrast and is a little blurry. It looks to my eye like the degradation you get from setting the jpeg quality a little low.
well, no.. it has gone from something that is in focus to something that is out of focus.. if i open the jpg in photoshop and do a 'save as' jpg with the quality set to 3 (with 12 being best), i will get similar results as putting the jpg in a pdf.. (albeit, a different type of quality loss but just as bad)
you've seen the comparison but just in case someone else wants to look, check here:
http://homepage.mac.com/jeffhammond/Sites/imgs/origVSpdf.jpg
that's a screenshot showing the jpg on the right and the pdf output on the left (both viewed in preview)..
it's unacceptable.. but like i said earlier, i think this is an inherent aspect of pdfs and i'd settle for a decent explanation as to why it happens..
OSX has some very smart frameworks built in, which do make bitmaps displayed on screen in Cocoa apps look better than they should. Not exactly helpful if you simply want to see it unenhanced.
but still, if that's the case, why isn't osx doing the same thing to the pdf.. (and also, i highly doubt the actual quality of the image is being shown in the pdf but when i view the jpg, i'm being shown an enhanced view to the point of making an out-of-focus image being an in focus image.

Image quality in PDF output

When my iBook is exported to PDF or Print/Save as PDF several images have very degraded image quality. The same image prints well from pages. Any suggestions/ideas?

The same image printed from Pages looks fine.
I've inserted PDF, png, jpg (will probably try TIF/GIF next) all display the same degradation.
When a JPG is inserted as the Chapter intro image in iBooksAuthor it looks fine/much better.

Blob Image blows up PDF Report

Hi!
Following problem: I select a report logo (size 33k) from the database in a blob field in the header section. When I create a PDF the report grows up enormously in size (10 times bigger than a report without logo) - I think the logo will be put in the pdf for every page. When I implement a static Image in the header section the report ist much smaller.
How can I solve the problem?
Bye,
Rumburak

Hello,
Which version are you using ?
If you use a version >= 9.0.4 , you can use the parameter OUTPUTIMAGEFORMAT.
This parameter has an impact on the output size :

Maximum Image Quality for PDF Export

I'm having a pretty big pain with some of my images, and I wanted to make sure that when i'm exporting my document to a PDF, I'm getting the very best resolution possible. I've attached a screenshot of the settings I'm using... are these the best settings I can set for getting the best resolution from my PDF
export?

First, the cost of printng isn't necessarily directly related to quality. There are too many factors such as full color and additional spot plates, the size of the run, and the size and type of the press to make any judgements based on price, not to mention the skill and standards of the printer. And then you still have many printers willing to do the same quality work at a variety of prices depending on location, market, and how busy they are. Kind of like making a genearlization about the price of a car.
@ Luke, setting downsampling to none will guarantee that all images are sent at full resolution, but that isn't necessarily a good thing. As already pointed out there is no advantage in sending more data than required to print the image. The OP has alread chosen ZIP compression, which is lossless, so he isn't introducing any jpeg artifacts, so all the downsampling is doing is setting a ceiling above which images will be downsampled. Images below that threshold will be sent at full res.

Losing vector image quality in PDF

I have created designs in PS using vectors which were all hi res, when saving to PDF the images are all terrible quality- except the script that I have added which remains crystal clear. I have gone back and checked the saved resolution and it was fine. Any suggestions?

Photoshop rasterizes PDFs when opening them. Try saving to PSD or TIFF formats instead.

Image quality with PDF gallery pages

Hello,
I'm a bit disappointed in the quality of the artwork in the PDFs that I create with Bridge output. They're very pixelated. My original artwork is just vector EPS files. Why can't Bridge create vector output in the PDFs? I chose the highest quality in the settings there.
Thanks,
Peter

Why can't Bridge create vector output in the PDFs?
It seems an old problem:
also check this older thread and some other links in that thread. Maybe even drop a feature request.

Crystal Reports Developer 11 - image quality in exported pdf file

How to embed images in PDF reports - help!

i have gone through the demo at http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/hol08/apexprnt/apexprnt2_otn.htm and this works fine UNLESS the image is bigger than say 8Kb.
How do i accomplish embedding an image in a PDF report if these images are (substantially) bigger??
I have tried asking this on this forum a number of times with no success. Is there ANYONE out there that can help me in this urgent matter?
Any help would be venerated.
regards,

Before entering into XSL-FO, I would strongly advise using XML-Spy or a similar product to check the validity of the XSL-FO code.
Also, I found the process to be highly iterative, building up the XSL-FO piece by piece. For this purpose I created a test harness in which I could enter the XML data and the FO sheet and generate the PDF outside of Apex. This saved quite a lot of time as I did not have to delete the report query each time I wanted to apply a change.
Anyway heres the XSL-FO for a letter generated by the system.
I use a bit map for a logo, I checked the size of it and it is 56k.
I'll submit a further post with the test harness.
Also, let me know if you need help installing FOP.
Cheers
Paul

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?
Regards,
Vidar
