Usage Note 46333: Recommended attributes for images included in PDF files generated by ODS
Images can be included in PDF files created with SAS® using the style attributes BACKGROUNDIMAGE, POSTIMAGE, and PREIMAGE. In order to get the best looking images included in your ODS PDF file, the images should follow these parameters:
-
The image should have 150 dots per inch (DPI). It is important that all images have a consistent DPI. For example, if you have more than one image to include in your PDF file(s), they should all have the same DPI (150 for best results).
-
If you use JPG files, these should conform to the JFIF standard, use RGB colors, and the image should not use transparency. Otherwise, the notes and errors described in SAS Note 34722 could be generated.
It is recommended that you create the image in the height and width that is desired in the final report output. For example, if you need to display a banner image that is 2 inches by 6 inches in size, the file should be 150 DPI, with RGB colors, and have the dimensions of 2 inches by 6 inches. ODS PDF will then accurately include the image in the resulting PDF file.
