Crystal Report Default Picture not changing to my Path Picture - vb.net

Why is it the Old picture in my crystal report is not changing to my Path Image?
What wrong with my steps?
Insert Picture Box and Select Any image.
Format Object
Select Picture Tab control
Modify Graphic Location
In Formula Workshop i've drag the fields contains my Path Image
Then Save.
Still not working. Is there something wrong?
Please help me.

Finally I found an answer to my question.
All my steps are correct but the error is in the vb.net [Picturebox].
before I will click the print button to print my report, In the form there is a picture box that display the image of the path that I will be using in the crystal report. So when the crystal report loads. The default image is showed not the image from path it because picture box is still using the image; that's why Crystal Reports cannot open the image.
Hope this is the correct reasons to my problem.
For users wondering why the image in their Crystal Reports load some time and some time not. It is because maybe you open the form that contains that image. For example you have a form company profile and there is a image of company there. Then you have some reports that will be using the company image just for the header part; then your problem is the image load correctly but some time is not. Try to dispose the image in the company form when you close the form so that the crystal report can use the image.
picturebox1.image.dispose()

Blank Page While Exporting as PDF in SSRS Matrix Report

I have created an SSRS Matrix report which shows 3 pages in output but when i export the report as a PDF, it shows 6 pages. One page is blank, although i selected the option ConsumeContainerWhiteSpace as True but still it is giving me a blank page as well the output pages are more than what is being shown in preview. I am using VS2013, kindly suggest.
As some comments have already suggested you will need to do a bit of trial and error with your page layout, page size and report contents to ensure that there is no white space pushing onto other pages.
The easiest way I have found to do this is to use the Print Layout option when previewing the report in Report Builder (In the middle of the Ribbon when viewing the report preview), which previews the report as it would be exported to actual pages. If it is still not obvious as to why the blank pages are there, you can set different background colours to your report items and report itself to see which colours show on the 'blank' pages. This will show you whether it is a report item or the report page layout that needs to be adjusted.
Your tables are running over more than likely.
Click ruler button in toolbar and make sure width of tables + margins is less than 11 if landscape and 8.5 if potrait.
Also if you right click outside of the report and select properties You can check your margins. I like to use between 0 and .5.

external image in RDLC report

I'm trying to use an external image on a report in my application. It's a windows application form.
The property EnableExternalImages of localreport is True
The source of image is External
As value i'm trying this. file:///C:\image.png
I can see the image on the report from visual studio designer, but when I run my application I can't see the image on the report but only a red X.
What can I do?
UPDATE
I tried the same on a different computer and it works good. So the problem is with my laptop. Any idea?
I had a similar problem and spent two solid days finding a solution. In my case, I was using Dataset objects to populate the data on the report. So, before I refreshed the report, I saved the image into an array of bytes, then on the report set the image source to "Database", selected the corresponding Dataset object, then chose the column that contained the array of bytes. The images appeared in the report when viewing it in both a ReportViewer object and as a PDF file.
maybe its a permission problem? try from your laptop, put the image in a different location where permission is not needed like in documents folder and see if issue still the same.

#DBLookup and image display on web

I am having issues with displaying an image in a Rich Text field on Notes document on the web. On web form, I have a form with a computed Rich Text field with this logic for the value:
#DbLookup("":"NoCache";"":#DbName;"notices";"americas-en-LoginMsg";"Error_Body";[FailSilent])
The source document is different than the destination document.
When The Web form opens up, only the formatted text displays and the image is just a placeholder with no image displaying. Any ideas on how to get it displayed. Using Domino server vers. 9.0.1.
I placed the image(s) in Resources>Images area of the database and used pass thru HTML on source document to reference it (them): img src="https://something.com/webpages/database.nsf/Buyback.gif?OpenImageResource" (with proper formatting of course).

Embedding images in Birt

I have to embed an image in Birt. But I don't want the image to be displayed in the report itself. I want the image to be Embedded in the PDF that I will be able to export only. I tried searching for a way to do this, but was unsuccessful.
Thanks in Advance
To add an image to your report that will only be displayed when exported to PDF:
Add the image to the desired location in the report.
Select the image in the Layout view, then select the Visibility options in the Properties tab of the Property Editor:
Check the Hide Element checkbox;
Select the For specific outputs... option;
Check the specific output checkboxes for all formats except PDF
If you now save and run the amended report, you should find that the image is only displayed when exported to PDF.

save textbox as picture in powerpoint_transparancy difficulties

In powerpoint 2010 I want to save an inserted textbox as a picture, which is simply done by right-clicking on the text box and save it. The saved image will however include a large amount of transparancy around the text. I am wondering whether this abundance of transparency around the text can be reduced, whithout using photo-editing programs.
I understand that powerpoint is not the right tool to use the beautifuly created texts for other purposes aside from office itself, however this would make things ten times easier for some coworkers of mine.
I hope someone can help me with this, also if it means using VBA or other (complex) codes/languages.
Thnx for your time.
Mike
Once you have typed your text in the textbox,
Copy the text box, right-click and paste as image
Now you have the image of the text box as you will get while saving that textbox as image - - using the save_as_image option
Select this image and click on format tab
You have an option to crop your image
Crop the image and save it as a picture
