Hi!
I have a DB that is split to a back and frontend.
The FrontEnd is published on a Citrix server, so is the backend. It works well, but I have issues with images in report.
We have a lot of suppliers that demand that we use their standardized forms for entering customer information.
Most of these forms are quite simple and basic (logo in the corner and so on), and this does not represent an issue to just mock them in a new report.
However, one of our suppliers has multiple pictures, their own font for text, "complicated" boxes with text (for example they do not use rectangles, but cut of corner rectangles) and so on. It's a nightmare to recreate.
The FrontEnd file was about 25mb when i startet, and after creating 2 reports of 6 pages, the frontEnd size increased to over 350mb.
I have saved the pdf as an image (jpg). I need high resolution because of small tekst in the pdf that needs to be visible. I have managed to get the size down to 2mb, some 4mb. Any lower and the image is unreadable. I have also tried BMP (I've heard that bmp i preferable).
All of this is quite time consuming, and I have used hours after hours recreating these reports, without satisfactory results.
Sometimes the images are visible on the print, other times not. The same with the print preview.
I need a stable solution.
So my question is... How can I "create" a report, based on a PDF?
Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated !!!
