Exporting embedded images to PDF

Hi,
we experience problems whenever we try to export reports containing images
to a PDF-document. As far as we found out, this issue occurs only with images
set to 256 colours (8 bpp). Images set to 16.7 m pixels do not cause any
problems. Due to the fact that this is a mayor issue for our company weâ'd
like to know whether this problem will be fixed soon. Converting all images
to high colour is not a feasible workaround for us.

at the Product Feedback Center I can only report bugs for SQL Server 2005!

Welcome to use MSDN Managed Newsgroup!
From your descriptions, I understood you encounter problems when rendering
256 color images to PDF format. If I have misunderstood your concern,
please feel free to point it out.
I have generated a 256 colors bmp file with mspaint and inserted it into my
report as Embeded image. The rendered pdf file looks as expected.
You may send the sample files/solution based on sample database
AdventureWorks within a zipped package to me. My direct email address is
v-mingqc@.online.microsoft.com (make sure to REMOVE "online" before you
click SEND as "online" is only for SPAM), you may send the file to me
directly and I will keep secure.

support incident and work with a dedicated Support Professional.
