Patch for Flare 4.2 PDF issues

Post by NealPozner »

Hello, Propellerheads. We have made a patch available in order to address some issues related to image quality and EMF support in PDFs generated by Flare 4.2. The patch is available in our Knowledge Base at http://kb.madcapsoftware.com/default_CSH.htm#PATF4PDF.

A few things you will want to be aware of is that depending on how many images you have in our output, and the filetype of source images, the file size of your generated PDF may be the same, much smaller, or much larger than before you installed the patch. Projects with large quantities of PNG files might find the resultant PDF to be much larger than before.

If you are using PNG images and find that Flare is creating huge PDF files, our suggestion for now is to convert your PNG files to JPG files in the source. As we continue to work on solutions in the next version, we hope to address this issue and provide the ability to control image size in the target file.
