Thumbnails not expanding fully in PDF output [FIXED]

M33R4 · Post by **M33R4** » Tue May 25, 2021 2:08 am

My project images are set to display as Thumbnails for my HTML5 output.
The same project also has a PDF target.
I have found on some PDF pages, the images are not expanding fully.
Any ideas as to the cause please

Here is my HTML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<html xmlns:MadCap="http://www.madcapsoftware.com/Schemas/MadCap.xsd" style="mc-master-page: url('..\..\Resources\MasterPages\newtopics.flmsp');">
<head>
<link href="../../Resources/TableStyles/blanktable.css" rel="stylesheet" MadCap:stylesheetType="table" />
</head>
<body>
<h1>How to add a paper request</h1>
When a paper request is received, the first step is to acknowledge it on CRIS. 
<ol>
<li>
Search for the patient 
</li>
<li>
Click Patient Details tab to check the patient on CRIS matches the request details</li>

<li>
Click New Event. 
</li>
<li>
The Event Details screen is loaded to enter the details as specified on the paper request.</li>

<div class="EBProBk"> For detailed help on how to add a paper request, please refer to the <a href="../c1_orders_requests/1.2_Paper_Requests.htm">Orders and Requests</a> helpfile</div>
Enter the exam Code if known or use F4 to search for it from the table

<li>
Enter the Room if appropriate
</li>
<li>
Enter the Urgency
</li>
<li>
Enter the Request Date as per the paper request - this starts the Diagnostic Waiting Time (if applicable)
</li>
<li>
Type any relevant supporting information under the History and Q&As tabs if required.
</li>
<MadCap:snippetBlock src="d_vetting_snippets/vetting_histQA.flsnp" />
<li>
Click Request
</li>
</ol>
</body>
</html>

Here is my image settings in the Stylesheet:

I decided to do some tests:
I tried to fit other images, that were displaying well on other pages, onto the page that wasn't displaying so well. Turns out the images affected were in fact not captured with a wider screen resolution which is why they were not expanding fully across the PDF output.

Resolution:

I adjusted my software/source window to 1300 X 745 and recaptured my images (using MadCap Capture).
I replaced the bad images with the new images in my project.
I applied the Thumbnail to those recaptured images.
Upon Building to HTML5, my thumbnails worked well and upon Building to PDF, those images expanded to full-size.

Addendum:

I have now played around with Image Properties and Print Size. Having set the width to 100% and height to Auto, my images are all expanding fully on my printed output.

From the topic page, right-click on your image to access the Print Size tab.

That setting is, therefore, to also keep in mind for PDF output projects[/color]
