[Issue 127060] New: Past special a Calc spreadsheet as a bitmap has very low resolution.

https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=127060

Bitmap paste.

How can I improve the Paste-Special bitmap quality.
See attached image:
The original calc spreadsheet is on the left, the paste special bitmap is on
the right.

I want to get rid of the coloration around the text fonts and improve the
resolution to at least match what you see on the left.  At least a 4x
improvement without the colors around the text would be a start, going to
600dpi would be even better.

This low quality bitmap paste also happens if I try to do a bitmap paste in
Microsoft Word.

I don't want to use the GDI-metafile paste.  It's buggy with the text alignment
as font type changes throughout the rest of my document.

HELP....  Doesn't anyone have a ways to copy and paste in high resolution?

A screenshot with paint software gets better results than the built in copy and
paste.

I need a way to get some of my spreadsheets and writer document pages into MS
Office and the export screw up all the graphics.  The only reliable results for
the pages which have graphics & symbols on them is to copy and paste them as
graphics, but resolution is like worse than 72dpi with the annoying 'ClearType'
color artifact technology which was designed only for LCD screens at native
resolution.

HELP PLEASE,
I have a document with over 20 pages of charts & pages in write with symbols
and graphics, (with another 20 pages of text only which export properly), which
I need exported into MS Office and if you've seen my other issues with export
.xls and .docx.

HELP!

See Test-text.ods and then test-text-bitmap.odt.

The .odt is a bitmap paste.  It's almost as if a screenshot is being done
instead of a real bit-map render of the document.

Even your larger lettering still has the red/blue halo surrounding the font
when you zoom in.

The bitmap paste is clearly related to the screen resolution and has the LCD
screen ClearType technology embedded, which I can't always control, like when
I'm on a laptop.  Also, I can't always control the font size as when I receive
completed spreadsheets & resizing everything will mess up the entire document.

It looks as if a .tiff printer driver, printing to a 24 bit .tiff at a selected
resolution, say, 600dpi, is the only quality solution, then if needed, crop in
a paint app before using the image elsewhere.  This is kind of a hassle, even
if all I want to do is something as low quality as import the document into a
video presentation app as a animated slide.

A screenshot is not the better way to reproduce.
Please provide your ODS document.

Hey Brian, sorry to hear you are having issues with the resolution when copying
and pasting. Image resolution is important for the proper presentation of
documents. I've attempted to reproduce the issue you are having with the same
example/files you have provided, here are the results:

OS: Windows 10 (Anniversary Edition)
Version: Apache OpenOffice 4.2.0 WIN x86 Build 1761251

Hardware: Intel i5 6600k, 16gb RAM, GTX 1080
Screen Resolution (possibly relevant): 1440p

Test:
1. Downloaded attachment 85627 and 85628
2. Opened them up in both Writer and Calc
3. Copied the cell A1 from Calc
4. Special Paste as bitmap into Writer
5. Repeat step 3-4 while changing the font size

Results:
The size of the image exactly matches the font size it was copied from with the
same resolution. See attached .odt file for test results.
