  I have an SVG image as a byte, which has “width” of 21cm and “height” of 11cm.

  On a report I have a Picture control pic. When I set the ImageBytes property to the SVG byte, the size of the picture control is not used, although the picture control and the SVG have the same height/width.

  
  byte[] svgBa = data;
  pic.ImageBytes = svgBa;

  
  
  However, the picture in ActiveReport does not get the right size. It’s way too small and when I use the SizeMode “Zoom”, the image is displayed in an awful quality.

  Hi Roman,

  Could you please try using the Stretch SizeMode and let us know if it helps?

  If the issue persists, please share with us the following:

  • You sample, stripped-down and runnable report
  • SVG image causing the issue
  • Video demonstrating the issue/steps to reproduce the issue

  I created an Example.zip.
  
  There it looks quite good on my environment.

  PdfExporter exporter new PdfExporter();
  exporter.Export(billReport.Document, @"C:\Temp\BillReport.pdf");

  
  
  In my scenario I need to add that bill report as a page to a full report. Therefore, I added an example using

  SectionDocument sd = new SectionDocument();
  sd.Pages.Add(billReport.Document.Pages[0]);
  exporter.Export(sd, @"C:\Temp\FullDocument.pdf");

  That looks good in the example but in my production code with the exact same code, the PDF looks completely pixeled.

  Hi Roman,

  Could you please confirm that you have set the Compatibility Mode of the Section Report to Cross-Platform in your application that has been deployed? If not, you can do so using the following code:

  sectionReport.CompatibilityMode = GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Document.CompatibilityModes.CrossPlatform;

  If the issue still persists, please share with us your production environment details so that we could try deploying your shared sample there and investigate further.

  I set the CompatibilityMode to CrossPlatform. Now, the report looks ok and also the print via the AR print method looks good. However, when I print it with a print job to different printer trays, the output is pixeled.

  SystemPrinter printer = new SystemPrinter();
  printer.PrinterName = printerName;
  printer.Copies = Convert.ToInt16(copies);
  try
  {
      printer.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.Margins = new System.Drawing.Printing.Margins(0, 0, 0, 0);
      printer.StartJob(string.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, @"{0} {1}", LocalizedStrings.Planura, reportName));
      for (int i = 0; i < doc.Pages.Count; i++)
      {
          if (i < pageFrom - 1 || i > pageTo - 1)
          {
              continue;
          }
  
          float x = 0 - (printer.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.HardMarginX / 100);
          float y = 0 - (printer.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.HardMarginY / 100);
          System.Drawing.RectangleF rcPage = new System.Drawing.RectangleF(x, y, doc.Pages[i].Width, doc.Pages[i].Height);
          printer.PaperSource = this.GetPaperSourceForPage(printer.PrinterSettings, i + 1, this.currentPagePrintPageMapping, this.currentPrintConfiguration);
          printer.StartPage();
          doc.Pages[i].Draw(printer.Graphics, rcPage);
          printer.EndPage();
      }
  
      printer.EndJob();
  }
  catch (Exception ex)
  {
      Debug.WriteLine(ex);
  }

  Any ideas why?

  Hi Roman,

  Can you please share with us a minimal sample replicating the issue along with your printer details, printer settings details, and production details, so that we can investigate further?

  I tried to do it in another way according to an ActiveReport sample how to print on different trays. However, when I print the SectionDocument, the PrintProgress event is not raised.

  SectionDocument doc = new SectionDocument();
  //...
  doc.Printer.PrinterName = printerName;
  doc.Printer.PrinterSettings.Copies = copies;
  doc.PrintProgress += this.OnPrintProgress;
  doc.Print(false);

  private void OnPrintProgress(object sender, GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Printing.PrintProgressEventArgs e)
  {
      SectionDocument doc = sender as SectionDocument;
      if (doc != null)
      {
          doc.Printer.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSource = this.GetPaperSourceForPage(doc.Printer.PrinterSettings, e.CurrentPage, this.currentPagePrintPageMapping, this.currentPrintConfiguration);
      }
  }

  Did I forget something?

  Hi Roman,

  >> However, when I print the SectionDocument, the PrintProgress event is not raised.

  This is a reported issue [AR-34036], and its fix is expected to be rolled out with ActiveReports v18.2 (ETA: mid-October 2024).

  For your initial issue, we would request that you share with us a minimal sample replicating the issue of the output being pixelated when using different printer trays along with your printer details, printer settings details, and production details, so that we can investigate further.
