Smartforms Logo

Former Member — Fri, 06 May 2005 15:41:24 GMT

I need have company logo in my smartform.

The logo files I have received are in *.jpg format.

If I convert it into tif or bmp the file size increases dramatically.. I am using Microsoft Photo Editor..

My requirement is to send smartform output as a pdf attachment.

The file size increases from 25kb to 235kb.. I have to keep the file size low.

Is there a way to convert jpg to tif format without increasing the file size.

Rgds,

Samir.

Hi Samir,

You can see a good many jpg to tif converters at:

tucows.com and experiment with minimizing conversion sizes.

cheers,

Marilyn

Change the DPI to 300 or lower when you save the TIF file in Photo Editor, that will reduce the size of the file.

There should be a button on the save as screen (prbably called "more" or "advanced") where you can specify the DPI.

Additionally saving it as grayscale instead of color also helps!
