\"Rob\"Recently whilst Rob, Technical Marketing at DriveWorks, was working on creating new documents for the DriveWorks Cupboard demo, he came across an issue with images in Excel documents.<\/p>\n

If you drive an Excel document that contains an image and then save a PDF, the image in the PDF document will have the wrong aspect ratio.<\/p>\n

After some research, Rob found that this is a known issue with Excel.<\/p>\n

The good news is that you can increase the height of the image by 10% in the master document, so that the image in the generated PDF document is the correct aspect ratio.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how it\u2019s done:<\/strong>
\n1 \u2013 Insert your image<\/p>\n

2 \u2013 S\"Rob'select the image and then click Format in the task bar<\/p>\n

3 \u2013 Click the arrow in the bottom corner to access additional size options<\/p>\n

4 \u2013 Uncheck \u2018Lock Aspect Ratio\u2019 and increase the height of the image to 110%. This will stretch your image<\/p>\n

5 \u2013 Once you\u2019ve increased the height of the image, check \u2018Lock Aspect Ratio\u2019 again. This will ensure that the height is always 10% larger than the width if you resize the image.<\/p>\n

6 \u2013 R\"Rob'sun a new Specification and check the PDF<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This is only applicable to PDF documents. If you\u2019re not saving your Excel document as a PDF, you don\u2019t need to make any changes!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
