There can sometimes be problems when certain graphics are processed
using the graphics filters included with SW. If you are using .jpg
and/or .png graphics, the original graphics can be included in the
compiled PDF file without processing through the graphics filters. Use
the following steps:
- In SW, select Typeset, General Settings, and choose the PDF Graphics
Settings button.
- In the PDF Graphics Export Options dialog, delete the directory that
may be in the "Graphics subdirectory name" box.
- Under Apply Export Options to, if not already selected, choose
"Selected graphics" and then choose "Special graphics sets". On the
right under "Export Options" select "Leave graphics unchanged".
- Use OK to close the open dialogs.
There is also a registry change needed so SW will use the original
graphics rather than generating a new graphics. For Scientific WorkPlace
5.5, the key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MacKichan Software\Scientific
Workplace\5.50\GraphicsMisc\
or for Scientific Word 5.5, the key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MacKichan Software\Scientific
Word\5.50\GraphicsMisc\
should have it's value changed from the default of 0.075 to 2. You can
do this using the regedit program. Alternatively, you can edit the file
swp-pro.ins used by Scientific WorkPlace or sciword.ins used by
Scientific Word that is read when SW starts by adding the lines:
[GraphicsMisc]
GrfxResizeThreshhold=2
and also changing:
MoveToIniDbase=0
to:
MoveToIniDbase=1
under [Installation] near the top of the file. The .ins file is located
in the SW install directory (usually c:\swp55 or c:\sw55).
