No pictures in Print Preview

Post by Ineffable »

I have a topic with photos. When I select Print Preview, the photos do not display. My photos are 640x480. When I select the print medium, the photos are shrunk to 320x480, as I specify in the medium.

However, in either medium the photos do not display in Print Preview. Which means they also do not show in the PDFs I create of each topic.

Any ideas on what I'm missing? Thanks for your help.

What file format are your photos? Although I'd expect the PDF/print preview to be more forgiving than the online preview since print accepts more formats than online. For online, you should stick to JPG, GIF, or PNG.

So what file format(s) are your images? Are none of them appearing, or just certain formats? If it's the former, double-check that you didn't set the stylesheet to hide the img tag in the default or print medium or that width and height properties on the img tag weren't set to some minuscule size.

Also, what mediums are you using in your stylesheet? I don't recommend using the non-print medium.

Hi there
I had a similar problem this morning. Some graphics appeared in the topic, but not in the page preview. I wanted to check something else, so generated the target anyway and the graphics were there.
After a little investigation, I realised that only the TIFs weren't being displayed in the preview, but all the other formats were.
I don't know if you've actually generated your output to see if they are really missing.
Good luck.

Although Flare's editor can display TIF images, they aren't supported by browsers - so that'll also apply to Flare's preview (if your target is help).
