Exporting report with chart to PDF: Chart quality poor

hardee_mahoney

Hello,

I have a report with a pie chart in it and I export it to pdf with the following code:

  DataMod.frxReport1.PrepareReport(true);

  //DataMod.frxReport1.ShowPreparedReport;

  DataMod.frxPDFExport1.FileName := PdfFile;
  DataMod.frxPDFExport1.ShowDialog := false;
  DataMod.frxReport1.Export(DataMod.frxPDFExport1);

When I do this the text and numbers in the pdf file look ok except for the chart, which is pixilated and blurry and not acceptable.
If I show the chart with ShowPreparedReport and save the chart from the preview as a pdf, the chart looks fine. Also the chart generated by the Export looks good.

There must be some properties or settings being set by the ShowPreparedReport that I am not setting for the Export(Export(DataMod.frxPDFExport1).

Can someone share their experience with the properties to export a report with a chart to a pdf file and have the chart look good?

I can share the pdf file to show the poor chart if that is helpful to anyone.

Thanks,

Try

frxPDFExport1.Quality := 100;
     frxPDFExport1.PrintOptimized := True;

Thanks!

I do not see the Quality property of TfrxPDFExport. I get an error when I try to set it.

But the PrintOptimized property seems to make things much better;

Use latest 4.13

Thanks. I'm downloading the new version but cannot seem to install it correctly.

I have Delphi XE2

I download from http://cp.fast-report.com/
fr4_13_d16s.exe

The file that downloads is d16s.exe. When I run the file the only options are to uninstall or Add/Remove Features.
I choose Add/Remove and the install works but my version does not change.
I still have 4.12.15

How do I download and install 4.13?

Thanks

You should remove previous version of FR first
