| | Hi,
You can try to improve the print quality like this:
Printer.PrintQuality = -4
or you can try to resize the image with InterpolationModeHighQualityBicubic with the printed dimentions before the print process.
Regards,
Loïc | |

So I tried both it is still very poor
http://members.shaw.ca/trclark/images/200701311250392000889.PDF
'oGdPicture.ConvertTo64Bpp
oGdPicture.Resize 300, 100, 7
oGdPicture.SetSmoothEffect
'oGdPicture.SetGreyScaleEffect
'oGdPicture.SetHorizontalResolution 1200
oGdPicture.FiltersToPicture
Printer.PrintQuality = -4
Printer.PaintPicture oGdPicture.GetPicture, 35, 3
Printer.EndDoc
I have been trying to print logo in our application but it is always
pixelated
I wonder if you might try to print that image

| | Hi,
I think you want to do something like that: 
Dim nWidthPrintMM As Long, nHeightPrintMM As Long
oGdPicture.ResizeWidthRatio 600, 7
nWidthPrintMM = (oGdPicture.GetWidth / oGdPicture.GetHorizontalResolution) * 25.4
nHeightPrintMM = (oGdPicture.GetHeight / oGdPicture.GetVerticalResolution) * 25.4
Printer.ScaleMode = vbMillimeters
Printer.PrintQuality = -4
Printer.PaintPicture oGdPicture.GetPicture, 75, 3, nWidthPrintMM, nHeightPrintMM
Printer.EndDoc
Best regards,

| | well finally I got this figured out
its nothing to do with the image, vb or gd pic
The issue is that the pdf printer driver ignores ALLL print quality/dpi
settings for images & these setting must be set by the driver for the pdf so all my images were getting defaulted to 72dpi | |

| | I should add the pdf printer driver we use is activePDF server
which bring up another questions
we have not been overly happy with active pdf as the pdf engine
BUT we do like the interface we just print to the std vb printer after making a call to the activepdf server...
I like you ocx because it has both graphics helper & a pdf file creator... but in order to use your pdf creator natively we would have to change a lot of code ....
is it possible to have your pdf creator look like just another instance of a printer
or is it possible to expose a gdpic printer object that has the same methods/attributes or sub set thereof & have it over ride the instrinct vb printer object such that printer.print would do just do a pdfdrawtest, paintpicture would do pdfdraw image etc
and printer.enddoc would do pdfendpage
it would also expose all the other methods as well
This way it a pdf drop for in for vb app
thoughts ?
