Save as PDF graphics become extremely pixelated.

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

When we save a report to PDF our logo becomes extremely pixelated.  If I choose to print the report and use the Adobe PDF printer the graphic is not nearly as pixelated.  I don't have these issues in any other software, and it occurs on all our users NAV clients.  Would this be a client or server issue?

Any ideas on what could be causing this?

    Thank you for your insight.  I followed your advice and changed the graphic.  Appears the PDF writer in NAV didn't like the transparency of the png I was using.  I changed it to a bmp 24bit and now it prints without pixilation.

    try following: save your logo in 3 different file formats: bmp, jpg, png. then update the logo in the company information with one of these versions, then run the save as pdf action, check the result. try all versions. do you get different results in image quality ?

    you could also check the image fitting property in the report. in your case autofit would be the best selection.
