Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 49226
PDF export for indexed images shows bad result in PDF
Last modified: 2005-05-23 09:39:49 UTC
I have created a text document with several screenshots that I had converted to 64-color-indexed PNG. The PNG files were linked (not embedded) to the document. When editing, the pages look OK, but after PDF export ypou cannot read anything on the screenshots. Effective DPI for the screenshots would be 144 (50% scale factor). The problem happened with Staroffice 7 Product Update 4, but I'm sure you can match that to OOo.
Reassigned to HI.
Please provide some samples to evaluate, thanks.
OK, additional info: The PDF is unreadable only if PDF export options had been set to "optimize for screen output" (default). I'll attach an example (ZIP) with the following contents: PNG graphics file, SXW document, two PDFs (one for print, one for screen optimization).
Created attachment 26208 [details] Test case (input and output files from OOo 1.1.3)
It is well known from other issues (see issue 20327 or even issue 10388 an others, that the result of image export in 1.1.x could be better, and that lowest export quality normally can not be used for documents containing images.
. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 20327 ***
closing issue as duplicate. @windl: please try the latest beta for OOo 2.0. The issue with image compression in pdf export has been adressed in 2.0 and should work just fine.
