Operating System: Windows 7 Proffessional (64-bit)


Hi all,

I want to include a JPG image in a graph (I don't want to import the data or the like; just put the image "as-is" in the corner of the plot).

I found a possibility to add the image via "File -> Import -> Insert Images From File".
However it turns out that upon export of the graph in a vector format (e.g. .eps or .wmf) the file size of the exported file becomes unreasonably large: While the original JPG is only ~200 KB in size, the resulting graph is ~5-10 MB (depending on exact export settings).

Is there a way to embed the JPG "as-is", that means without changing the compression of the image? I assume Origin is converting the image to a BMP format upon import, which is (without compression) naturally much larger than the original JPG...

Regards,
Eduard

Thanks, this is an acceptable workaround when exporting to PDF format.

Unfortunately it doesn't solve the issue when exporting to other vector formats.
Especially when using Microsoft Products one's forced to use EPS or WMF to be able to import a graph into a document since one can't import PDF graphics (That's actually a bad decision by Microsoft, since PDF is fine otherwise, but it's something that has to be worked around somehow).

Hello,

Compression is supported for PDF export currently.



You can try to use pdf export as a workaround.

Sure, I sent a testcase.
Basically this happens with every JPG file though...
