Unable to Resize Images in PDF Export

Prathamesh shared this problem 12 days ago
Defect Logged

Hello,

We have added images to our reports in Yellowfin, but when we try to export them as a PDF, we are unable to resize the images. We tried setting the height and width in the PDF image settings, but the image size doesn't seem to reduce.

Has anyone else encountered this issue, or can anyone offer a solution on how to resize the images effectively during the PDF export?

Thank you for your help!

Hi Deepak,

I hope you're doing well. To help clarify the situation, I’ve recorded a video demonstrating the problem.

Please find the video and image attached below and FYI we are using Image Link Formatter.

I hope this helps in understanding the issue more clearly.

Thank you for your support!

Best regards,

Hi Prathamesh,

Thanks for sharing the video.

In your report, the images are in columns but not on report canvas. But the image max height/width option in the PDF export settings only controls the image size of images which are canvas (Image in my video) but not the images of the column.

The PDF export option controls the image size of :

80535b188223858b2cc5d76da8134ce0



In your scenario, the image size can only be changed from the height and width of the report column in column formatting (your screenshot)

Please let me know if that helps.

Thanks,

Deepak

Hi Deepak,

Thank you for your quick response.


As you said the image max height/width option in the PDF export settings only controls the image size of images which are canvas (Image in my video) but not the images of the column.


Then how we can control the height/width of row images in PDF? we are able to control the height/width of row images in report columns but not in PDF export.

Please suggest an workaround for our scenario.

Thanks,

Prathamesh.

Hi Prathamesh,

Unfortunately, I couldn't resize the image in the PDF export if the images are in the report column - and teh format is 'Image Link Formatter'. I have created a task with the product team on this issue.

I will provide you with an update once I hear back from the team.

Thanks,

Deepak
