[xep-support] Image Quality

[Michael Sulyaev]

Hello Jez,

PNG image you sent is a raster image created from Excel Chart at 72dpi. This 
is definitely too small for quality printing, and you can do nothing with 
this PNG to make it look better on paper.
Excel charts should be saved as SVG images (with the help of 3rd party 
tools). Or, better, develope a VB program to create an SVG chart-like 
representation of your worksheet data.
SVG images are always printed fine in XEP, and you can also scale them 
losslessly.

Best regards,
Michael Sulyaev                mailto:msulyaev at renderx.com

Subject: [xep-support] Image Quality


Hello

I am having problems getting XEP to create PDF documents that host small PNG 
images.  The images in the created PDFs never have a quality that will be 
acceptable for the purposes that we require.

I have attached a small PNG image and I want to host this image in a PDF 
document.  However, when I attempt to do so, the image quality of the output 
is disappointing.

I have attached an extract of XSL-FO that I am using to render the image 
within the PDF, and also a sample PDF representation of the image (created 
via XEP 3.8 developer edition).

I'd be grateful for any advice on how to improve the quality.

Thanks
