Bad image quality in PDF

rbuser

Hello,

I'm using a TppDrawImage for having a background image for the whole report.

The image has 300 dpi, so the quality is quite ok.

When having
ppReport1.DeviceType := dtScreen;
the preview looks good.

When having
ppReport1.DeviceType := dtPDF;
the quality of the image is really poor.

The size of the PDF file is much smaller than expected. It is much
smaller than the JPG used as background image. Seems that the resolution
is automatically reduzed.

How can I avoid this?

Thanks in advance,
Klaus

Ah, I just found the thread "Change PDF resolution".

Report.PDFSettings.ScaleImages := False

solved the issue. Quality of PDF is now as expected.

Report.PDFSettings.CompressionLevel has also influence on the size of
the PDF, but it doesn't seem to influence the quality of the image.

Thanks,
Klaus

Enrico,

I'm very sorry you are having issues but your post does not help solve it.
So far I have not received an example demonstrating the problem from you and
have seen all other customers' issues with PDF image quality solved.

If your images are exporting at a poor quality, then the
PDFSettings.ScaleImages property is set to True. This is the default
setting so if you are loading templates that were saved with this set to
True, you may be overwriting the setting. (This was the problem Fabio was
having from the "Change PDF Resolution" thread).
