Description: I noticed that when exporting a calc spreadsheet to pdf, the option JPEG compression is a standard value. This creates problems when using big images in spreadsheets and exporting the spreadsheet to pdf. If the standard value would be lossless compression, then this issue would not exist as standard behavior. It was quite a search to determine the origin of this problem, so I can imagine a standard user would maybe just give up on this. The standard behaviro should allways give the best results. Steps to Reproduce: 1. create a spreadsheet and insert a big image 2. export to pdf 3. the image inside the pdf will be compressed and there will be loss of quality Actual Results: standard behavior creates a bad pdf, which requires some research to get solved Expected Results: standard behavior creates a good pdf Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
This request is incorrect. As I suppose from your issue (https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/138661), you suffer from bug 113143, which should be fixed in the first place. Changing the defaults is not a good option, because it would produce huge files by default. So the real problem is the abovementioned bug. Closing this as WONTFIX.
Hi Mike, if this behavior is a bug then I'm totally fine with closing this bug report; I'll keep an eye on 113143 and i'll retest when this one would be resolved.
