Hi,
using BIRT 2.6.0 I noticed that a report cotaining a PNG file as logo is
embedded in a PDF which results with a bad quality.
Is it matter of source file (PNG, maybe it's better using a JPG) or it's
a problem related to pdf renderer?

Thank you,
Nicola

Nicola,

There is an advanced property for the report name Image DPI. Have you
tried to change it? Try a value of 300

The image is the same.

I have the same problem. I understand the problem with the images, but how to improve the quality of charts in pdf. As I understand they are not touched by the

<property name="imageDPI">300</property>

property. I am using the default web viewer.

Add &__dpi=300 to the url for the viewer. Make sure it is not already
in the url. This will set the appcontext chart resolution variable.

You can also add this to the beforeRender script

reportContext.getAppContext().put("CHART_RESOLUTION", 300);

Hi Jason,

thanks for your response. I will try that out tomorrow. Isn't there a general parameter in the webviewer app, that can be set. Best would be a parameter in a property file or web.xml.

Thanks
Martin

But I have to set the parameter creating the complete URL for calling the report.
I would like to call only with the report as parameter and would like to set the dpi inside the webapp as default without touching the url.

I can't find a documentation about the webviewer. I will checkout the soruce and have a look at this.

Hello,

I found a solution for my problem. Perhaps I have to say, that I am using the default webviewer application.

@Jason: The parameter works fine, but when I think it has to be variable depending on the output. When setting the parameter to 300, PDF looks fine, but HTLM does not.

So I took the sourcecode of the webviewer and changed the followong in the class ParameterAccessor

public static Number getDpi(HttpServletRequest request) {
		String dpi = getParameter(request, PARAM_DPI);
		if ("pdf".equalsIgnoreCase(request.getParameter("__format"))) {
			return 300;
		}
		if (dpi == null || dpi.trim().length() <= 0)
			return null;
		return Integer.valueOf(dpi);
		
}
