Re: [libreoffice-users] Size of an ODG inside of an ODT
My ultimate goal is to create a document with Writer that I can Export as PDF.The examples that I originally sent were trivial, but the important ones arevector drawingsand theymust stay vector drawingsso that when the final document in resized in Adobe Reader the will come out correct.Look at Example 3, attached.The object in Draw is slightly smaller than the page/canvas.While in Writer, when I Insert -Object -OLE Object -Create from file the resultant OLE is larger than either of those 2 sizes !!Luckily these are all close so I can live with it ... this time !There must be a way, in Writer, to insert an OLE so that the resultant OLE has a predictable size !On 10/29/2013 11:29 AM, Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) I don't know what is going wrong there.

Why do you try to insert an odg-document as OLE-object instead of inserting the drawings directly?

Hi :) I don't know what is going wrong there. The way i get images into a document is to simply drag them in. It sounds like you are trying to do something over-complicated but there is probably a good reason for it. My way means the document ends up being quite heavy. So i open the document and then open the folder with the images in. Then simply click and drag the image from the folder into the document. i never expect images to appear the right size to start with. In the rare cases where i have control over the physical size of the image on-screen i try to make it about twice the size that it's going to appear when printed in order to try to make it sharp enough but not tooo heavy. I tend to prefer resizing by right-click on the image and then select Picture to open a dialogue-box with tons of options for anchor-point, wrap, borders, spacing and all the rest so that i can have a first stab at doing all of that in one go.
