Poor chart quality when exported to Excel

Hi,
Whenever we export a chart to excel, the quality of the chart becomes very poor (blurred image and font).
The images look crisp when viewing from report manager and the designer.
Has anyone encountered and solved the same problem?
Thanks

As an update, I made a comparison exporting to excel from the following 3rd party add-ins: Dundas and ChartFx but the charts came out much worse quality-wise when exported to Excel.
Is this a Reporting Service limitation or is there any setting that needs to be set?
Thanks

  • Poor video Quality when exporting to DVD

    I cant seem to get a clear video. I am downloading from DV from a canon and the quality is sentational.
    When on the time line averything is brilliant. When rendereing everything is still ok.
    When exporting to DVD it goes pear shaped. I have tried dozens of different variations with the same results.
    I am in AUstralia and am using PAL.
    I get motion blur and what appears to be very poor quality result after exporting.
    Help... I dont have much hair left.

    @Harm,
    "Pear-shaped" (or sometimes "fruit-shaped") is a euphemism meaning that the effort has gone awry; it was a mess.
    @John,
    Export to DVD is a PPro 2.0 function; in CS3 it is now Export to Encore. Is that what you meant?
    First thing is to check the field orders of your source material and of your export settings. Don't invert them, and don't deinterlace interlaced footage.
    Perhaps a short list of the settings you have tried (and why you chose those settings) would help us help you.

  • Poor image quality when exporting a report to Word

    Hi,
    We are developing an application where users can download exported Word 2003 or PDF documents generated by Crystal Reports. The problem is that when the format type in the export options is set to Word for Windows the quality of the images in the document degrades immensely. The PDF images are looking fine though.
    Literally, the only difference between the two exports is that only one of these lines executes depending on what the user selects when exporting the report.
    crxReport.ExportOptions.FormatType = CRAXDRT.CRExportFormatType.crEFTPortableDocFormat;
    crxReport.ExportOptions.FormatType = CRAXDRT.CRExportFormatType.crEFTWordForWindows;
    I am using Crystal Reports 10.0. Upgrading to Service Pack 6 did not seem to solve the problem. This service pack resolves a similar problem that occurs with PDFs but it's Word documents we're having trouble with. The project we are working on is a .NET 1.1 project and it is hosted in a machine running Windows 2003 Standard Edition with Service Pack 2.
    Any help is greatly appreciated

    Other than that, as Ido recommended, despite the difficulties of the number of parameters, see if exporting from the CR designer is any different. If it is not, we're fighting a lost battle. Alternatively, you could create a new report in the CR designer, no database connection needed. Insert an image, export.

  • Poor photo quality when exporting iPhoto slideshow

    Does anyone know which setting produces the best quality for an mp4 when creating a DVD using iDVD? I put a slideshow together using iPhoto because I wanted to use the iPhoto scrapbook theme. I exported the iPhoto slideshow using the highest quality (standard display setting) which produces an mp4 1422 x 800 (H.264, 30 fps, 7 Mbps, ~907 MB).
    The iDVD project settings are:
    1) Best Performance
    2) High Quality
    3) Professional Quality
    What doesn't make sense to me is that #1 claims to produce a total ~1GB DVD with a 995 MB movie and shows the Quality level as green.
    When selecting #2, the claim is a total ~643 DVD with a 575 MB movie with Quality in the red.
    When choosing #3, the numbers stay the same as #2 but the Quality goes to yellow.
    Why wouldn't the higher quality settings produce a larger DVD with less compression? Which setting really gives the highest quality?
    The default is #1 (Best Performance) which clearly produces the lowest quality video when compared to the mp4 export from iPhoto (appeared with a higher quality) and when compared with playing the slideshow directly in iPhoto (appeared with the highest quality).
    Would the quality be any higher if I export the iPhoto slideshow using a customized setting? iPhoto custom settings allow the choice of about 10 different compression types from Animation, Apple Intermediate Codec, to DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, to H.264, to MPEG-4 Video, to None (and others not listed here). The frame Rate can also be adjusted from Current (whatever that means), to 8, to 60. The Compressor Quality can be adjusted from Least to Best. Would "None" as the compression type produce the best quality when producing the iDVD?
    The ultimate goal is to display the slideshow on the project at my church. The easiest way to do this is to put it on a DVD. But as described above, the quality decrease from iPhoto direct play of the slideshow is noticeable when moving to the .mp4 and extremely noticeable when putting the .mp4 in iDVD and playing the DVD back.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions or links to better documentation.

    you just cannot export your slideshows in order to burn DVDs, with the same quality
    That's an issue with iDVD and the DVD standards. All DVD media is downsized to 640 x 480 or the wide screen 720 x 480. It's the nature of DVDs, not iPhoto. If you use the Ken Burns effect in iPhoto you will need to use the largest 4:3 ratio images possible so the zoom and scan of the KB effect is working on the most number of pixels possible.
    I've found that the best final image resolution is obtained by creating the slideshow in iDVD from stills imported from iPhoto at the 4:3 size ratio. The downside to that method is no KB effect and only one transition per slideshow. I play those types of slideshows on a 50" 1020p HD Panasonic plasma TV and the images are quite good. But good is in the eye of the beholder.
    See Jim Symon's post in this iDVD topic: Re: High-definition DVDs. Also search his other posts as he was working out a workflow using Photo to Movie to create high def movies and burn them with iDVD. As I recall he found and posted his workflow at one time.

  • Poor video quality when exporting

    I am new to Premiere and don't know all the functions yet. (at all)
    I have wto questions.
    I have successfully imported and edited my video, but it seems, that the final result (the preview at the right) is cutting off the edges of my video.
    I have tried the "Scale to frame size" function, and then it looks better. But I think it's quite strange, that it fits perfectly in the left preview...?
    My second issue is when I import the video. It should be recorded in full HD or at least 720p, but when I export it it is in 576p.
    It's pretty hard for me to tell what I do when I export, so here's one more screenshot:
    I use .avi and have tried to do the "Use maximum render quality" but it still seems to be poor quality.
    Can anyone tell me (in an easy way) how to fix this and how to prevent the edges of being cut off?
    Thank you so much for your time!

    If you shot HD or 16:9 footage you should have edited in a Sequence that matche that Source. ie NOT SD

  • Poor DVD Quality when exporting to DVD

    I have an HD timeline with XDCam footage 1080i.  I have been trying to export to DVD and everytime I export I get poor quality video.  The image shows distortion and pixelation.  My client is not very happy with the final product and I'm just running out of asnwers.  I have tried exporting using Dynamic Link, Media Encoder and I get exactly the same result.  I have tried exporting the first 15 min with same results. Jagged edges, etc.
    I just upgraded to CS5 from CS4 hoping to resolve the problem and I get the same result.  I only have the problem while exporting to DVD in MPEG format.  Blu-Ray format works great.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi Ann
        Here are the specs of my PC.
         Dell Workstation T7500
         12Gb RAM
         Quad Core Xeon E5520 2.27 CPUs
         Vista 64Bit OS
         Terrabytes and Terrabytes of RAID storage.  Too many to mention.
    I can edit HD content in real time and works great the only issue I'm having at this point is just Encoding HD to SD.  The encoding is normally done fairly fast, except for HD wich takes almost a whole day to encode when delivered in HD. Right now is taking longer because I'm trying to go from interlaced to progressive I guess.
    Question regarding your settings.
    My settings are different than yours on:
         Quality = 5
         Field Order = Lower (Could this be the problem?)
    Thanks

  • Poor video quality when exporting hd

    I created a photo slideshow in iMovie HD. I used the hdv 1080i60 preset. when i preview it in iMovie the footage looks great. when I try to share it in an hd format(1080i or 720p) the movie looks really choppy. if i export it to a standard resolution it plays fine.
    I don't think hardware is an issue.
    How can I export it to HD and keep the quality i have when i preview?

    Hello--
    I'm trying to do the same thing, need to make a slide show of high res photo's imported into iMovie HD6 so that I can control titles, transitions and music. The quality looks terrible when converted to IMovie. I don't see how you change the HDV preset anywhere in iMovie, the only thing I see in the preferences menu is playback - standard, high and highest. In any case I selected highest and the frames looks terrible--maybe 320x280 but no way of telling, no detail in pictures whatsoever.
    Thnks for any help you can shed.

  • IMovie - Poor Video Quality when exporting to "Projects"

    Hi - I'm using iMovie 11' and once I move my video (HD) from "Events" to "Projects" my video quality becomes very poor and the video is cropped. I have changed my setting to have it "fit frame" but the problem still exists. Thoughts?

  • Poor image quality when exporting Solidworks Drawings to PDF

    When "printing" to PDF in Solidworks the drawings become very low quality, within Solidworks they look great, printing to a printer...they look great as well. When printed from another computer to PDF the documents look fine.
    This door is contained within the drawing I am trying to print (not the actual assembly) THAT is how it turns out in the actual PDF. note how the straight lines are broken up.  I have tried to adjust print settings within Adobe to High Quality and no change. What other settings can I look into to resolve this issue??? It is definitely isolated to my pc alone.

    Hi M0lsen,
    What version of Acrobat are you using? Do PDFs from other applications exhibit similar issues? And when you print to PDF from the other computer, is the setup there the same (same version of Acrobat, same version of Solidworks)?
    Best,

  • Poor video quality when exporting from Adobe Premiere

    Hey, I was just wondering if there was anyone here that could help me  with this problem I am having with Adobe Premiere Pro.
    I have used it to edit a movie together with MOV video files from my  iPhone 3GS which are of decent quality but everytime I try to export it,  the video quality is degraded significantly from the original. I have  tried several different export options but none seem to do the trick.
    Also, exporting with DivX just gives me an audio file with no video so I  have been unable to try that.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks.

  • SSRS 2012 Conditional Formatting Color Issues When Exporting to Excel

    Hi all,
    We recently upgraded to SQL 2012 from SQL2008 R2. I'm having a strange issue with SSRS2012.
    One of the report has conditional formattings on cell background colors. Everything works fine when render the report in browser or preview mode. However, the conditional formatting stop working when export the report to Excel (no issues if
    export to pdf). All cells are high-lightened with pre-defined color although it should only high-lighten those cells that fulfil the condition.
    Has someone encountered this issue before ? Thanks for any help.

    Hi ZZ02,
    I have test the scenario in my testing environment, however, everything goes well when exporting to Excel format. The issue might be related to the expression for the conditional background color. To make further analysis, please post the expression as well
    as the report design structure.
    Additionally, in SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services, the Excel rendering extension renders a report to the native format of Microsoft Excel 2007-2010, the format of which is ExcelOpenXML. By default, the previous version of the Excel rendering extension,
    compatible with Microsoft Excel 2003, is disabled. At this time, I suggest that you enable the Excel 2003 rendering extension by modifying the RSReportServer.config file. After that, the Excel 2003 rendering format will be available on report manager (not
    available in Report Designer). So, please export the report from report manager and check the result again.
    For more information about enable the Excel 2003 rendering extension, please see:

  • BOBI 4.x Webi - Graphs when exported to Excel, turns as picture.

    Hello,
    In SAP BO XI 3.x version, a Webi document having graphs, when exported to Excel sheet, the graphs are exported as they are and were able to modify them. However, in SAP BO BI 4.x version, the graphs are exported as picture and are not able modify them.
    I tried with multiple 4.x versions even with 4.1 SP4, but its still the same.
    Is this by design that the Chart\Graph engine saves them as picture in 4.x or there are some settings that need to be done?
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Regards,
    Abhay

    Hello Abhay,
    As you suspected, the functionality to add webi chart as excel chart while exporting has been changed in BO 4.x version. Please see below idea page where developers like us asking to restore the same functionality. The idea is under review now. Cast a vote for the idea.
