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 and should use RGB colors. 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.
