Vector charts in PDF?

I would like to have vector charts in my PDF, so that their quality doesn't change when zoomed.
How do I create such charts?

If you created the charts in a vector format before you PDF the document, they will be vector.
When exporting from MS Office apps charts do are vector.
What about exporting charts in vector format from a Flex web application?

    In office word bi publisher plugin, load the xml, the chart can be generated.
    The above exception only occurs in some linux and solaris platforms, but never occurs in windows.
    The following plateform throws exception.
    Oracle Linux Server release 5.6 + java version "1.6.0_25"
    The following plateform doesn't throw exception.
    Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Carthage) + java version "1.6.0_05"
    The strange thing is in those platforms which can throw exception, if the code is not running in EJB, the chart still can be generated.
    In other words, if the normal web or standalone app invokes that program; the chart can be generated.
    The java code is as below.
         public static void generate(String inputXML, String pdfTempPath, String outputPDF) {
              Reader reader = null;
              try {
                   File xmlFile = new File(inputXML);
         reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(xmlFile), "UTF-8"));               
              ByteArrayOutputStream tmpXSL = new ByteArrayOutputStream();           
              RTFProcessor rtfProcessor = new RTFProcessor(pdfTempPath);
                   rtfProcessor.setOutput(tmpXSL);
                   rtfProcessor.process();           
              ByteArrayInputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(tmpXSL.toByteArray());
              FOProcessor processor = new FOProcessor();
              processor.setData(reader);

              processor.setOutput(outputPDF);
              processor.setOutputFormat(FOProcessor.FORMAT_PDF);           
              processor.generate();
              catch(Exception e) {

                        if(reader!=null) {

    Can anyone explain why this exception is thrown?
    Thanks a lot.

    Hello Tux Dueñas,
    I think you need to have ACL's setup in Oracle 11g in order to be able to connect to the BI Publisher server. Check the following link on how to setup ACL's in 11g...

  • How to export an entire model content (tables and charts) to pdf

    Hello,
    I would like to export a complete model, which includes tables and charts, to pdf.
    I am already familiar with [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/47fe4fef-0d01-0010-6f87-ed8ecb479123] tutorial but it explains how to do it for a single table and doesn't deal with charts. What I would like to do is take like a screenshot of the entire iView/model content to pdf.

    Hi, rbish-
    Not for the entire stage.  The only thing you could do is to highlight everything and convert it to a symbol, then ensure that you move your triggers and labels to the new symbol.  Then you could export an individual symbol, which will also package all of the dependent symbols.
    Hope that helps,
    -Elaine

  • Output Charts to PDF using FOP

    Does anybody know is it possible to output ones charts to PDF format using the FOP??

    Hello,
    You could use something like the Report to FOP howto and by posting the SVG source get a PDF. I have never done that but in theory it should work.
    I have taken the source by hand and rendered FOP and that works, the only issue was the styles and class's had to be all put into the custom CSS section of the Chart attributes.

  • There's no proper way to export charts to PDF in numbers 3

    In Numbers 09, there're at least two ways.
    1. copy the chart and paste to preview with `New from clipboard`, although this has some bugs on the chart format
    2. Copy to pages, export as RTFD, and extract the pdf in the package.
    However, when upgraded to the new iWork,
    these two ways are ruled out.
    1. Seems preview doesn't recognize the new format of the iwork content, so `New from clipboard` results in a blurry image instead of a vectorgraph like pdf.
    2. The exporting to RTFD functionality has been removed.
    I don't understand why apple is doing this, and I wonder is there any proper way to export to a high-resolution PDF from the charts?

    Print the page/sheet and select "Print PDF to Preview" instead of actually printing. 
    In Preview, use the rectangular selection tool to select the chart
    Copy
    New from Clipboard
    That will create a PDF vector image of the chart. It is a few more steps than in Numbers '09 but it does give you all the pieces of the chart (unlike Numbers '09),

  • How Best to Save Vector Logo as PDF

    Hi, we're creating master logo files for an international corporation that will be used by many different end-users, most of who should be design/production professionals. It will be accompanied by a style guide outlining proper usage, etc.
    The logos are 100% vector, and in years past we would save them out as EPS files. But we understand that is a bit antiquated and limited (this article is one of better out of many). So we want to save all master files as PDFs, but we want to make sure we are using the best possible settings to keep quality and color-compliance at it's highest, while also being as compatible as possible.
    LOGO SPECS:
    - As mentioned, the logo files are 100% vector, but are using some pretty advanced gradient meshes in Illustrator to simulate a 'metallic' emblem. We've made it grayscale (only K channel in CMYK). The smoothness needs to be retained.
    - They also may have a couple small inner/outer glows, which we understand may be rasterized in the conversion. We've set the Document Raster settings pretty high to account for this.
    - They need to retain transparent backgrounds so they will work on any background color.
    - We have created RGB (using sRGB profile), CMYK (not color managed) and spot PMS versions.
    QUESTIONS:
    1) First, keeping in mind what's important (complex gradients, transparent backgrounds, etc), what PDF version should we use (e.g., 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, etc) that would keep quality high but be as compatible as possible with possible slightly outdated software?
    2) Are we right to only embed color profiles on the RGB versions? We don't want the CMYK or PMS numbers to change at all, and we have no way of knowing final output intent.
    3) Any other settings or tips we should know as we make these files (there will be 30+ final files when complete)? We really need to do this right.
    Thanks for any help or tips! Let us know if there's anywhere else we may want to look for more specific details.

    1. Avoid transparency (transparent - missing - backgrounds in vector are OK).
    2. Provide a RANGE of files. You cannot possibily satisfy all needs with one file. I would suggest:
    - EPS
    - AI
    - PDF
    - High resolution TIFF (will lose transparency).
    If you don't want the CMYK values to change (i.e. you want the colour to CHANGE when used with different devices, rather than be mapped to stay the same), what you are doing might help, but some workflows will simply apply a default profile early on.
    Crucially, prepare to be adaptable. The holy grail is one file for everyone, but people have been looking for that for a long time.

  • Editing Vector Objects in PDF

    When I use the Touch-up Object tool to select a vector element in a PDF and right click to Edit Object the object opens in Illustrator. This is the program I have set in preferences to edit vector objects. The issue I have is when I edit and save the object it shows up in the PDF shifted from its original position (offset to the upper left). How can I get the object to update in the PDF without shifting position?

    Yes and No. You have the most up-to-date version of Acrobat 8.1 and
    Illustrator, so the bug should have been fixed. I cannot say why it is
    not working for you. Of course, the latest version of Acrobat is 9.0,
    but I don't think you need to upgrade for the fix. Maybe someone can
    chime in. What happens if you create a new file in Illy and create a
    pdf, does the problem still happen?

  • How can I get vector charts from excel into illustrator?

    I have annual quality reports to do for our health trust,  the charts are created in excel by our quality team (admin) and are really poor quality  it appears to save them as rastered images (jpg or png) when it comes to commercial printing the poor quality really drags the overall annual report down.
    They are complicated charts but just need to be able to clean up the text and vector lines/symbols so they look as good as the rest of the report.  Any ideas or suggestion on how i can do this, or other programs I can load the data into to get some decent quality vectors?

    I do it all the time. Have them give you an Excel worksheet with all the charts. Make sure the font is set in Excel to something besides the default, i.e. Arial which you can easily change in AI. As for the rest as Kris says have only single filled symbols (either circles, squares or diamonds) for all data. No stroke symbols.

  • Fonts Skewed on Excel Charts in PDF

    Copy/pasted Excel charts as a picture into Word 2007. Converted Word 2007 to pdf (Acrobat 8.1.2), but fonts within charts appear very heavy bold (unreadable), even when not bolded, whether printed or viewed on screen. Using Windows XP. Any ideas?

    Hi ,
    Since it is a workbook Copy and inset query Twice.  Use one result set as source for your Chart and hide this result  area. You can use the second result set for  navigation.

  • Converting .docx with chart to .pdf does not work correctly

    I have a docx file with an excel chart and a hyperlink in it. The chart is a line chart with data makers on the lines. One set of data markers are circles. The chart is simply copied from excel and pasted into word. I am using word and excel 2007 and adobe acrobat 8 standard on windows XP SP2. all software is fully updated.
    When I convert this doxc file to pdf, the circle data markers from the chart are greatly enlarged and obscure the text and chart. The hyperlink works fine. This occurs when I use the acrobat plug-in within word to create a "quick and simple" pdf. this also occurs when I open adobe and choose create pdf from file. I cannot use the word plug-in to create a "fully functional" pdf. This feature simply does not work.
    When I convert the file to a pdf using the adobe printer/distiller, the circle data markers on the chart are fine, but the hyperlink no longer functions.
    I can copy the chart from excel and paste it into powerpoint and publisher and the conversion to pdf works fine. i can also create a pdf of the chart from excel to pdf without problems, so it appears to be a word to pdf issue.

    Thanks Bill
    Perhaps I was not clear enough though. I am not really concerned with the hyperlinks.
    The main problem is the excel chart. When I use PDF Maker the circle data markers from the chart are greatly enlarged and obscure the text and chart. The only way to make the chart look normal is to use the distiller, which kills the hyperlinks. I would rather use PDF Maker, keep the functionality of the hyperlinks, and have the excel chart look normal. The PDF Maker distorts the circle data markers on the chart and makes the page unreadable. That is what I need to fix.
    I realize the simple solution is to use something other that circles for data makers, but I have a lot of charts and don't want to spend the time remaking them all.
