Hi,



I'm playing round w the demo of stardraw and am trying to insert a logo so it prints nicely at A3 and above. I have and eps version of the logo and the best thing I can see is to insert an object in pdf format. Is this the best way to go about it?



The drawing is a pictorial w a title border that is exactly A3 size (420mm x 297mm) and the logo should fit in an object 65 x 35mm.

Any help would be great, thanks.

Hi,

I've read through this a few times and still I can't seem to be able to get a logo into stardraw.

I've used paint in .tiff .giff formats and still all I get is a box with the file name written in it.

I've even tried Photoshop .eps as well.

When I drag the saved image into word of excell it displays just fine???

Any help would be great.

Many thanks

Greg

Hi Greg,

Out of interest, what application opens when you doubleclick on one of these image files in Windows Explorer?

To display an image (or any file for that matter) in a Stardraw document, the file type must be associated with an OLE-compatible application.  MSPaint is such an application: it supports JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG and their variant extensions (.JPG, .JPEG etc) and it ships with Windows so you should be able to find it on your machine; the default path is C:\WINDOWS\system32\mspaint.exe.

For details on file format association see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/307859 

I hope this is helpful.

Kind regards,
