StarOffice not producing images when making pdf
I'm running SO 6 and when I make a document with my company logo, the logo does not appear on a Page Preview or when I print a pdf file. If i print it, the logo appears. The logo in question is a bitmap. Any thoughts? Tom

StarOffice 6.0 uses ghostscript (or any other pdf distiller) to create pdf files. Ghostscript has (usually) built-in support for jpeg and png files but not all graphics formats (hence bitmaps and tiff files don't appear). A solution: open the bitmap with Gimp (or a similar graphics program). Save it as a png file. Use the png file in StarOffice 6.0. You should get no quality loss but should get a smaller file for the image.

John, Created a png from my bitmap, but no luck. Neither Page Preview nor a pdf shows the image while printing the sheet works fine. This document is in a spreadsheet if that makes a difference. Tom On Wed, 2002-07-24 at 00:43, John Lamb wrote:

Curiouser and curiouser. I tried this and found that png doesn't work with spreadsheets but does work with starwriter. jpegs will print with StarCalc. Just save the bitmap as a jpeg, cross your fingers, put a ring of salt around you (keeps away the patent bearing slugs) and try again. You shold get no loss with jpeg, especially if you used gimp to create it. JDL -- May the source be with you.
Nope. Just tried a jpeg via Gimp. No luck in preview or pdf, but will print fine. Very strange. Although I didn't do the salt. Tom On Wed, 2002-07-24 at 12:14, John Lamb wrote:
