    when i export a spreadsheet to pdf that has a svg image the svg vector gets converted to a raster image resulting in a blurred image.

    PDF does support embedding svg as vector.

    Export to xlsx preserves the vector, image stays sharp.

    Steps to reproduce behaviour:

    Spreadsheet, insert svg image, export to pdf, zoom

    Hi Martin,

    Have you tried the PDF Export with Spread 12.0.10? We observed the SVG images exported with a little blurred.

    Please refer to the attached sample and let us know if the issue persists.

    In the case of replication, please also let us know the browser you are using and Operating system you are using.

    Regards,

    yes, we use 12.0.10

    When i insert a svg (see attachment vectorpaint) and export to pdf then i can see raster when i zoom (see svgexported)

    I used chrome and Firefox and Windows 10

    the svg vector should be converted to a path in the pdf, not a raster.

    Hi Martin,

    Thank you, we were able to reproduce the issue at our end using an SVG Image which was different from the one that was provided by you, hence we have created an Enhancement request for this case with internal tracking id 271318.

    However, we would like to know if we missed something when we tried exporting using the image provided by you.

    Could you please look into the attached sample which uses this image and let us know if you are facing similar issues.

    Regards,

    Manish Gupta

    Hi Martin,

    This issue has been fixed in the latest release build 12.1.1. For exporting the SVG content to PDF, we need to get the content of the image using the callback.

    For reference, please refer to the attached sample for reference.
