Does anyone know of a way to improve the quality of an image when exporting a SSRS report to PDF? I have an embedded image that when exported to PDF looks very bad (i.e. grainy, dull). I have tried various different image file types (i.e. jpg, png, gif) and DPI's to no avail.
I know that Acrobat uses compression on images and will degrade the resolution of images in order to keep files sizes small and facilitate faster printing, however, these settings can be overridden. Also, I've read that using Acrobat Distiller to generate a PDF will not degrade the image. Are there any comparable settings in SSRS that will improve image quality?
I've tried specifying the DPI (thinking that the image DPI was being degraded by default) by passing the following deviceInfo string to the Render method but this did not work:
I have been fighting with Reporting Services all day, and despite setting the PDF output quality to 300DPI, I have noticed that the image quality appears to be only 96DPI. I've noticed this because images with a size set for 300DPI are too large for the page, and images set for 96DPI fit just right.
Could someone please tell me if this is a limitation of Reporting Services 2005, or am I just doing something wrong?
I need to know this because I am up against a deadline with this project. I had ran several tests with Reporting Services but had never had assumed there would be problems with image quality.
Is there any other product that offers similar features to Microsoft Reporting Services that you could recommend?
My luck has not been very good with this project, and I'm assuming the response is going to be 96DPI is all that is supported...
I have a table with an IMAGE datatype. Without using xp_cmdshell and bcp, is it possible to get this image to disk? We do have the OLE procedures enabled so I can use those to create in instance of the Scripting.FileSystemObject and write to disk but how do I convert the image datatype to something I can store on disk and it actually be a readable format? If it helps, we only store this particular field in JPEG format in the database.

The issue I am encountering is exporting to PDF. If the report spans multiple pages, in PDF the image only shows up on the first page..and broken on all other pages.
I have tied the hidden image to the table that spans multiple pages. Shows ok in HTML but breaks when exported.

I have a server report which made by ssrs 2005, I am using vs 2005 to build an aspx page and call this report which already uses dynamic query. I use parameters and send these to reportviewer with setparameter method. I dont use DataBind and Refresh method. SetParameter is enough to generate Report. When report generates everything is fine. But when i export this report to excel the pictures in this report get smaller to fit in cell height. I used rendering extensions but its same.
And i used copy contents of reportviewer and paste it to excel file. There is interesting case here. If this is the first time that i run the report and copy and paste. No image is seen in excel workseet but other report elements is fine. But if i click on refresh button on reportviewer toolbar and report regenerates, i try to copy and paste and it works fine, and if i dont close ie window copy and paste progress works good and i dont need to click on refresh button on each report to copy and paste?
This is so interesting subject, i tried lots of things for example i tried to use databind and ServerReport.Refresh methods maybe it acts like clicking on refresh button but this wasnt the same only difference is it took more time to generate the report.
We are using SQL Server CE 3. So far, the product gets an A for ease of installation and its ability to deal with complex queries and but fails in a number of other areas. This is causing mjor project overruns. 1. Speed is a major concern. Small simple queries take an unreasonable tme to execute. This has required fundamental changes to current design patterms and a major re-write. 2. Bugs: Set identity_insert tablename on: tablename appears to be case sensitive (10 hours to track this beasty down) 3 Vista seems to have its own issues - refusing to cast fieldnames for simple column names eg 'Select UID as DepositID ...' returns a "DepositID" under Windows XP but returns "UID" under Windows Vista. Does this mean there is a different engine operating in the Vista environment. [I have since tracked this to a quirk in the SDAC interface ]
All this in a product we are intending to ship in the near future. Ar others having these / similar problems? Is there a register of known issues and workarounds? Is the product under active repair / development ? Why is behaviour different under Vista?
Whenever we export a chart to excel, the quality of the chart becomes very poor (blurred image and font). The images look crisp when viewing from report manager and the designer.
Has anyone encountered and solved the same problem?
I am using the 3-tiered architecture design (presentation, business laws, and data acess layers). I am stuck on how to send the image the user selects in the upload file control to the BLL and then to the DAL because the DAL does all the inserts into the database. I would like to be able to check the file type in the BLL to make sure the file being uploaded is indeed a picture. Is there a way I can send the location of the file to the BLL, check the filetype, then upload the file and have the DAL insert the image into the database? I have seen examples where people use streams to upload the file directly from their presentation layer, but I would like to keep everything seperated in the three classes if possible. I also wasn't sure what variable type the image would be in the function in the BLL that receive the image from the PL. If there are any examples or tips anyone can give me that would be appreciated.

I have learned lots of informative thing from your forums. I have little problem regarding “Display image from SQL Server on ASP.NET� I have done it and image display on my page from SQL Server. I have cleared you here I have adopt two different methods which are following for displaying picture.
but in both above methods I have faced little problem when image display on my page all other information can not display and I also want to display picture on my specific location on the page. My second question is can use any web control like “Image1� to display image from SQL Server where my pictures are stored.

In my asp.net application I have a local report with an image control in thedetail row of the table and the Value attribute set as="File://" & Fields!FQPhotoFileName.ValueThe first row in the table always shows the wrong image and it's always thesame wrong image. The problem is there even when I change the sort order orthe criteria for the underlying dataset. For example, I ran a small testthat populated the dataset with 2 rows and 2 images. When I sort by anycolumn (e.g. ID) in ascending ascending order the ID=1 row (the 1st row)shows the wrong image and the ID=2 row shows the correct image. When I rerunthe report sorting in descending order the ID=2 row (which is now the 1strow) shows the wrong image and the ID=1 shows the correct image.Any suggestions?

I'd like to display our logo image from a local file rather than embedding it. RS doesnt seem to like it when I use the local hard drive as a URL for locating the .bmp image (I just enter c:filename.bmp). Is there a simple recipe for either relocating this file locally to a place (eg IIS) that RS will consider a valid URL or leaving it where it is but still entering the URL in a way that will allow RS to get it at run time from the c: drive?
