Your previous post indicated that your file size varied with the quality of the graphic, so I assume that the graphics you are embedding are raster. Is the same thing true of the commercial documents that you refer to above? I would expect vector graphics to look much better when scaled on screen or anywhere else. Also, you might experiment with the settings in the "Smoothing" section of the Edit / Preferences / General menu in Acrobat (I think it is in the same place on the Acrobat Reader). Victor Mote

Obviously you can always write your own viewer and there are other PDF viewers available, but it will be difficult to answer your question unless you can tell us what shortcoming in Acrobat Reader you are trying to overcome.

RE: Quality of Grafics
Stephan- Glad I could help (even if it was in a passive way) Just a few parting thoughts on the matter, although it sounds like you've got a pretty good idea of what's going on already. Before you go on, though, I must apologize for the use of U.S. units (inches, dots per inch, etc.) I'm just used to dealing with said units, and things actually come out to nicer, rounder numbers when using inches. So... You're right that scaling the image down will both reduce the size of your PDF, and the quality of the image. There are a few things you can do to find a happy medium between PDF size and image quality. The most obvious is to make sure you're using images of an appropriate resolution. If you're using a digital camera, to take 1600x1200 images, and the images get printed in a 4inch by 3 inch rectangle on your PDF, you're looking at a printed resolution of 400 DPI (Dots (or pixels, if you prefer) Per Inch.) My system is meant to allow people to choose ad templates, fill them with assets (copy, headlines, and photos) from a database, and create a print-ready PDF, meaning that said PDF could be taken to a commercial printer for a run of 50,000 copies, or submitted to a magazine or other print publication for publishing. I use 300 DPI as a minimum for my output, and the results are of the same quality as most glossy magazine advertisements. If that kind of quality is not necessary, you may want to try printing a PDF with the image printed at 200 DPI (this would be a 800x600 pixel image, provided the print dimensions are still 4 inches by 3 inches, as in my previous example.) This halves your resolution, but reduces your image size (for an uncompressed image) to 1/4 it's original size. A secondary way to reduce the size of your PDF, while (mostly) preserving image quality is to use JPEG images as an input, and to play with the quality setting of the JPEG. It's my understanding that when FOP puts images into a PDF, it internally converts them to a JPEG, UNLESS the input image is already a JPEG, in which case it simply embeds the image in the PDF. Basically, this means that by using JPEG-formatted images as your input, you have direct control over the number of bytes your image content takes up in the resulting PDF. Depending on your requirements, you may be able to significantly reduce the size of your PDFs by using these 2 methods in some sort of preprocessing step between pulling the image from the camera, and generating the actual PDF. Sorry about the huge reply, especially if it's information you already know. I didn't realize it was going to be this big, but perhaps it'll help some poor soul searching the archive in the future. -Jeff "Stephan Wiesner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> iesner.de> cc: Subject: RE: Quality of Grafics 11/15/2002 01:27 PM Please respond to fop-user Hi Jeff, Okay, I did prepare a document to send to you and, of course. I can get fine quality if I use very large pictures. I made them with my digital camera at 1600 resolution and formerly cut it to 25% size. This looked still very good on the screen, but not in the PDF. When I don't reduce the size, the quality is fine. This is, in my oppinion, because now the picture is at 100% when I set the Acrobat to 400%, which I don't do. The drawback, of course, is that the PDF gets real huge. I suppose that is a price I will have to pay, though and I can live with that. So, you helped me without really doing anything :-) Stephan > -Original Message- > From: [

RE: Quality of Grafics
Stephan- Based on the fact that your printed copy looks correct, I still think it might be a display issue. A quick and easy way to check it would be to create a test document containing multiple instances of the same image, each at a different size (either by specifying a scaling factor, or by specifying hard dimensional constraints (like pt or cm)). I'd bet (if I were a gambling man) that all of the printed results are going to look good, while your on-screen representations are going to be a crap shoot. Is the purpose of your project to create PDFs that are going to be primarily viewed on-screen, or on hard copy? And if possible, could you send me a copy of the offending PDF, and the image itself?

Re: Quality of Grafics
Stephan- Are you noticing degraded image quality in a printed version of the PDF, or only in an on-screen display? If it's in the on-screen display, I would attribute the degradation to the way the PDF Viewer handles scaling of images. Rather than using a nice, blurred scaling algorithm, I believe the PDF Viewer uses a quick and dirty single-sample scaling algorithm, which can lead to distortion of the images, especially when viewed at odd factoring sizes like 66% or 75%. If it's in a printed PDF, then I have no explanation, although I'd like to see an example. I've implemented a system using FOP, which embeds hi resolution JPEGS into a PDF, and the printed output looks good, while the on-screen output can sometimes be a little grainy. It's not terribly noticeable on my images, since they're photographs, and don't generally have hard edges, which tend to show scaling shortcuts more than soft gradients. Hope that helps. -Jeff "Stephan Wiesner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> iesner.de> cc: Subject: Quality of Grafics 11/15/2002 12:03 PM Please respond to fop-user Hi list, Is there a way to improve the quality of graphics?

Hi, the problem is, that you have to supply the name of your userconfig.xml to FOP. Using fop.bat this is no problem. I never used FOP in a servlet. So yo have to find a way to pass the userconfig.xml path (and name) via the webinf.xml (??) to your servlet, which provides this information to FOP.

Embed font results in FontFormatException ?
Hi there. I am using the FOP tools to generate PDF output from FO documents. In the PDF document, i need to embed a PostScript Font named StandardGroteskBSK. This is my userconfig.xml file:embed-file="C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Type Manager\psfonts\SK021___.PFB"> embed-file="C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Type Manager\psfonts\SK051___.PFB"> I get no errors during the FOP.bat batch job while generating the PDF. However, text in the PDF document(etc. cells in tables) are very bad aligned, it looks awful. I read that sometimes one need to manually alter the PFMReader generated XML font metrics file, to correct the approximated values. I followed an example to do that with my XML metrics file, but the result is as bad as before. When placing the PDF object in an Illustrator 10 document, a messagebox pops up: "The document "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\DVDebugger\bin\Debug\output.PDF" contains objects that have been interpreted." "Missing Type1 fonts have been substituted with the default font". As the PDF elements are no longer objects, i cant select a text element to see if it is the correct font. I then tried the parameter "-print" with FOP.bat, to print the document directly. First I embedded Verdana with this print job, that worked. Then i used this PostScript font StandardGroteskBSK, which raised a FontFormatException.

Re: AW: Viewing PDF without AcrobatReader or FOP??
Not necessarily, I've done tests with TIFF (CCITT group 4 compression, 300dpi) and the files weren't bigger than the PDF. But this is obviously only a solution if you have pure black and white documents (no color, no grayscale).

Viewing PDF without AcrobatReader or FOP??
Hi there, we're just testing FOP to generate PDF on a host, then sending the PDF document in a way we don't know yet to some clients. The clients should be able to view (and perhaps to print) the document. Is this possible without AcrobatReader? The AcroRead for Java is not really a good thing, and using FOP only to display a file isn't a solution, too (since it's too large). Has anybody a little hint? Markus

By all means use your web front-end to access the document, and open a new 'preview' browser window (which will launch Acrobat Reader) that will receive the PDF generated by FOP . If the user accepts the previewed document they can signal this by returning to the web front-end and issue a 'save-document-as-pdf' request. There should be no need for embedding PDF within a web page. Of course if you mad keen on it looking like the pdf is in your web front-end then use frames.

Applet for PDF Viewing over the Net.
Hi All, Before generating PDF I want my user to preview the look of the PDF file, Essentially I want to show him how the printed document or generated PDF will look, I want to do this over the net, ie I want to provide a web interface and show the document in an applet and if the client approves save it as PDF and also if required Print it. Is there any resource already in FOP which will help me achieve this? or else If I have to do this on my own, I would also request for some direction on how to go about the same. Thanks in advance. regards Balajee Chandrasekaran Software Engineer Majesco Software Inc. Phone : 91-22-5695 Extn No 7911 Beleif Everything is possible for him who believes.
