Hi,
I recently updated a script that uses PicExport to export report pictures in PNG format instead of WMF. This was done to reduce the file size of each image as there doesn't seem to be a way of controlling the image size of vector graphics.
The file sizes are now greatly reduced and are of acceptable quality. However, the script speed has plummeted from a brief blip to a painful crawl.
Is it possible to have the best of both worlds - file size control and script speed?
I also noticed that the PowerPoint export is slow and this appears to use raster images. However, the PDF export is quite quick and seems to use vector graphics, but produces a file size that is way way smaller than the number of pages multiplied by the file size I get when I use PicExport with a vector file type. For example, one report page exported in EMF format is 1.14 MB and is 7680*5376 pixels when opened in a reviewer such as MS Picture Manager. However, the PDF document containing 17 such images is only 994 KB in total!!
Can I have individual image export, in good quality, and with a fast export speed??
Thanks, Simon.
