Hi Guys, I'm having an issue where a jpeg image placed into a cell appears slightly distorted, for the most part it's the text that's in the image (it's a logo). I've tried with and without using scaleToFit with the exact dimensions of the logo and it's no good. If I scale it down then the image looks better (as the pixels are compressed). If I copy the image from the pdf and paste into photoshop it appears fine.
Photo is at 72dpi , 500x100 pixels (though I've tried different sizes, similar reaction). When I view the pdf in acrobat pro the document shows as being at 72 dpi as well. I've tried hard coding the scaleToFit as well. If you want a copy of the pdf and image, just let me know where to send it. Here's my code, what the heck am I missing? I use acrobats ruler and the dimensions are the same as what they should be. I include normal photos throughout the report at they appear fine as the original is so much larger and they are scaled down (and have no text). Here's the code: PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(); Image photo1 = Image.getInstance(logo.getAbsolutePath()); // set the scale info for the logo. since it might be smaller // than our settings, we don't want to make it enlarged (distorted) scaleWidth = 500f, scaleHeight = 150f; if(photo1.width() < 501f){ scaleWidth = photo1.width(); } if(photo1.height() < 151f){ scaleHeight = photo1.height(); } System.out.println("Logo Size: " + scaleWidth + ", " + scaleHeight); photo1.scaleToFit(scaleWidth, scaleHeight); cell = new PdfPCell(photo1); cell.setBorderWidth(0); ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
