Export WMF graphics to PDF

Post by ulli82 »

Hi,

is there any option to export WMF graphics to PDF as they are (vector)? In my test cases, the graphics are exported as raster based graphic :(


Thanks & Regards,

Are there any plans to add this functionality?
Is this correct: there is no way to export vector graphics to PDF (as note: we have the year 2022!)? Or which type I have to use to export vector graphics to PDF?

Hello,

Only components (Shapes, Charts, Maps, Gauges) will be available for export to PDF with vector graphics.

Thank you.

Thanks,

and there is no plan to implement the possibility to export SVG, EMF/WMF, etc. as vector to PDF? Many reports contains images, e.g. logo of corporation. Most of them are vector graphics. Exporting as raster results in loss of quality and increase of document size. This is not what I expect for a modern software...

Hello,

There is a task in our to-do list. But we can not say exactly when it will be implemented.

Thank you.

Hi,

I've seen the (tried) optimization for exporting lists to RTF in 2022.2.5. But the lists are still not exported as lists :( And the alignment is wrong. Please see attachment.

BTW: is there any way to change the left alignment of list entries and to change the used bullet?


Tanks in advance, Regards,
Matthiasu

If ii is not possible to export as correct list, at least you should replace the space characters used for alignment with tabs and well placed tab stops. An example you'll find attached here.
