How to resize images in combination with Qlik Sense?

Hi,

I want to create a simple PowerPoint report with NPrinting (June Relase), which is a collection of several charts of a Qlik Sense (June Release Patch1) application.

Each chart should appear on one page without Qlik Sense scrollbars..

Unfortunately I can´t achive this as desired. It seems that I can´t control to have the full image without scrollbar and to auto-resize the image in the given frame in the PPT slide.

What I did:

I created a new PPT page and dragged the image on this page. Then I resized the image to use the whole space. After this I tried all the different "Stretch" options in NPrinting for the image

See: Image dimension management in Microsoft Office reports ‒ Qlik NPrinting

Stretch Options with their result:

a) Don´t fit: This shows the whole Sense bar chart without scrollbar, BUT the image is greater than the space available on the PPT page

b) Fit Inside / Fit Width / Fit Height / Stretch: Image has the size of the frame in the PPT page but shows Qlik Sense scrollbars

How can I achieve

* to have a fixed space for the image defined by frame in the PPT page AND

* to have the image in full resolution with scollbars, but resized into the given frame?

Your help is very appreciated!

Thanks, Thomas

Hi mates - I was busy running Sydney's City2Surf so it took me while to respond to this one - sorry.

I have a couple of questions to start with:

  • When you export image without any changes to its size - do it have scrollbars? If it does not then whe can proceed further.

Now regarding your question:

I find it also extremly difficult to resize object to the size i want without scrollbars. I did not perform enough testing to be a specialist in it, but i have my workarounds for it:

So instead using image resize options i usually decide to adjust my PowerPoint slide size to the image size. I am not sure whether this would help you but you can give it a try and see,

So:

  • Create a PPT NPrinting template
  • Drag&Drop your image onto it and generate preview
    • see how big is the image generated (without changing its properties)
    • see if it has scrollbars or not.
  • once you are happy with the image size and look you can go to next step and again edit your template and go to:
    • DESIGN->Slide Size - > Custom Slide Size (see image)
    • enter there required size

I have tried all options in property "Stretch" of the image. You mentioned "fit to window" which is not existing. Have you meant the property "Stretch"?

Hi Lech,

thanks for your reply. This confirms the behaviour which I already found out. For me the conclusion is, that you don´t have an option to re-size a Qlik Sense image with NPrinting.


The solution you´re suggesting is good, although it´s just a workaround by re-sizing the canvas of the PPT.

I´m little bit disappoint that such a feature is not included in NPrinting.

Thanks for your help.
