Convert PDF to MSPaint for Structure Studios Pool Studio
Вставка

- This has always been my method on converting large PDF file sizes down into the KB size range to import as background image into Structure Studios Pool Studio.
It is NEVER recommended to import PDF background images due to file size and declining performance overall within the program itself.
What we hope is that the developer will focus SOLELY on PERFORMANCE upgrades and NOTHING else. So if you're watching, massive performance upgrades ONLY are what is needed asap. Thank you.
X & Y adjustments update will help tremendously. Thanks for sharing your vids brother. I have few up my sleeve as well!
Dude it's like you where speaking from my mind! My number one pet peeve is getting a survey that is folded, has shadows, bent, or it's a picture taken from a cell phone! Drives me bonkers lol. This was a really great video though and never thought of doing the background images that way. I will sometimes use the snip & sketch tool to take a snapshot of the survey and save it as a jpeg and then import it. But I never though to check the size of the file and reduce it down the way you showed to improve performance. Really like your content! P.S will they ever make beach entries easy??? I've seen your beach entry video and it's still challenging for me lol.
Windows Key + Shift + S ---> will save you some time and allow you to do a screen clipping instead of print screen the entire desktop and then crop. You may have to to "enable" the screen clipping feature the first time you press that key combination.
As stated in the video, using the MSPaint method results in the smaller file size without reduction in resolution, which is the ultimate goal. Clipped files are larger so, I will pass on the larger files. Thank you for watching.
@@vip3dcoreessentials You would use the Windows Key+Shift+S combo to take a screen clipping in place of - Fill screen with survey image, Print Screen, paste into MS Paint, crop image, select and then paste again into new file in MS Paint. You could just screen clip, open MSPaint, resize the white area to smaller than size of screen clipping, paste it and it will automatically resize the canvas to screen clipping size. Then you can scale the image with the editor options. Then save as jpg at smaller size. just trying to save you some steps. please disregard if you don't find it useful. I love your vids and they are very instructive.
@@ScotPfuntner I appreciate it. I do use clipping for photos and other things and it is a good tool.
The ultimate goal is for users to reduce the file size of the background image without losing resolution so however users can do that while keeping the file size in the KB range is critical for this particular program.
I can execute this method in mere seconds because I've done it for so many years as the snipping tool you are referring to wasn't introduced until 2007 in Windows.
Slowing down the process for this video makes it appear long and complicated but after a few attempts, users will find that this is quite simple.
But again the point is, never import massive background images, so however and whatever users need to do to make sure they do not have massive background images they need to do it. Whether they find compressing files easier, snipping images easier or screen shotting images easier...just be aware that the program performance declines greatly with large background image files...especially PDFs.
@@vip3dcoreessentials Thank you for the tips. I appreciate it. I wasn't having problems with performance until recently. When i started doing impervious cover reports and adding a report with Smart Data calculations, everything seems to start crawling.
