Link: images are resized when saving as PDF

Issue:

When saving a PowerPoint presentation as PDF, all charts and tables that are exported with UpSlide change size.

 

For example, let's assume I exported the following table in PowerPoint. (fig. A)
It could look like this after saving as pdf. (fig. B)

 

fig. A fig. B

 

This problem happens when you change the display settings. For example by

  • Connecting to an external monitor
  • Changing the Primary Screen scaling

Any export from Excel to PowerPoint made until you next log out will present this issue.

 

Impacted versions:

UpSlide: all versions

Windows: starts from Windows 10

Office: 2010, 2013, 2016

 

Fix:

  • Simply log out and log back into your windows session, then update all links before converting to pdf.
  • Change UpSlide exports settings (needs UpSlide V6.1 at least):
  1. Go to UpSlide -> Settings
  2. Go to General Tab and change the Appearance to 'As shown when printed'
  3. Note: You may need to uncheck "Use Team settings" checkbox to change this setting.
  4. Restart Excel, Word and PowerPoint.
  • Use a PDF Printer instead of using Office Native Feature.
