SSRS 2008 R2 - Vector image output formats...

Question

Hi there

I get the impression that creating vector image formats for charts is something that is not currently possible in Reporting Services. We have the need to create print files for traditional print process that require the images to be in a vector type format so that colourspace adjustments can be made (ie RGB->CMYK). Something that I understand that is not so easy with Raster formats

Has anyone else encountered this kind of issue, or similar experiences, or does anyone know any kind of way to generate Vector format images from SSRS?

Any thoughts appreciated.

My thoughts at the moment are that we are going to have to consider shiftint our development out of SSRS and automate the excel engine as I hear the charts in Excel construct images in a Vector way.

Hi Rep Ronnie,

From your information, I get your meaning, however, this requirement is not built in the Reporting Services currently, So here I would recommend you submit a feedback to the Microsoft Connect at this link https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback This connect site is a connection point between you and Microsoft, and ultimately the larger community. Your feedback enables Microsoft to make software and services the best that they can be, and you can learn about and contribute to exciting projects.
