Origin Version: 7.5G SR5
Operating System: Windows 2000

Hi,

I am trying to export a 3D-Graph to PDF but Origin seems to hang in an endless loop (I wait 20 minutes - no reaction in this time). The graph contains data from a 300x300 matrix. Can anyone help me to solve this problem.

Thanks and best regards,
Steffen

Hi Steffen,

You'd better send us your .opj file to tech@originlab.com .

I have had quite the same problem, though I was exporting .jpg files. My 3D-graphs were smaller (roughly 50*50 points, or smaller) but the export was reasonably fast only at low/medium resolution (72,100,150 and 300dpi). At 600dpi I could never export the page, with symptoms much like those mentioned by Steffen.

By curiosity, I tried to export my 3D-images as pdf files to see what happens. As there are many exporting options for pdf files, I first tried with no bitmap conversion + high data compression and it worked fine, but it generated a 7 Mb file. With bitmap conversion, it worked well at low resolution (100dpi, 256 colors) getting a 114 kb file, but I had to stop it at high resolution (600dpi, True Color) as it was in a loop or taking a lot of time. Maybe there is a problem with the 600dpi resolution: could never see it working well.
Hope this helps.

Hi, Steffen and Sam.

Exporting images with high resolution could be very resource-consuming, and it might cause the program to run out of resource. Zachary provides a detail explanation about this issue in the following post:

You might follow the instruction to change the setting so that Origin can export a lower resolution image.

You can find out more information in this post

Hi all,

following your suggestions I reduced in the options the resolution for "page copy/export" to 100 dpi. This don't help.

Beside that I tried to export to PNG, EMF and EPS. All formats were generated successfully. So it seems to me there is a problem only with the PDF-export filter. I found that part of the PDF-file is generated but the generated file is corrupted and Acrobat Reader could not open the file. With an HEX-editor I looked at the file. The file ends with "stream". Nothing more follows. Possible something prevent to generate the stream with the datas from the matrix. I don't know :-(

More suggestions are welcome ;-)

Best regards,
Steffen

Hi Steffen. Would you mind sending your graph or OPJ to tech@originlab.com?

Update:

In the options for "page copy/export" I went back to 600 dpi. After that I exported the matrix to PDF with a little change in the export options. I switch-off all compression options. The PDF-file were generated successfully. Unfortunately the file has a size of more than 22 Mbyte.
So up to now I have a generated PDF-file but I have to reduce the file size by myself. This was possible with Ghostscript and results in a file size of 3.3 Mbyte.
This is not the best way but a work around is better than nothing.

Thanks to all that discuss this problem with me,
Steffen

Dear Deanne and Zachary,

I send the graph as ogg-file to tech@originlab.com.
If you find the solution for the problems please inform me.

Best regards,
Steffen
