Re: Report Layout

Hello Ryan,

Yes. Why don't you have a peek at the picturebox properties. Also, any decent graphics package will change the resolution.

Thanks. The image quality is much better now. However, it's still
showing up in my Form as way to big. I think this is due to the
resolution. The .bmp file is 300x300 dots per inch. It must be
displaying in my picture box at something like 100x100 dots per inch.
Is there anyway to modify the PictureBox so that it displays
correctly?

Hello Ryan,

Print the original MS Word file to the MS Document Imaging printer.
This will produce an MDI file which can then be saved as a TIFF.
From there any decent graphics package can convert it to any format
you desire.

I am writing a VB (2005) program that will allow the user to fill
out and print a form. The form input is stored in a database (SQL
2005) to be retrieved/viewed/printed later. The form is originally
a Word Document, I also have this form as a PDF. Appearance and
quality is critical for this form.. so what I thought I'd do is
convert the form to a bitmap, use a picture object on my VB form and
overlay textbox (no border) controls on top of the image so the
appearance remains exactly the same. I'm having problems getting
the document to bitmap format however.. PDF only gives the option to
save as a JPG, which is obviously reducing the quality (there's some
fuzziness around the letters) and the image size ratio is not right
- on my VB form, a small portion of the document (the top left
corner) fills the screen.. it's much too large. The letters are at
least double size what they should appear.

Any suggestions how to go about making this form work in my VB
application without reducing the quality? Thanks,

Ryan
