I'm trying to view this pdf image in my Jupyter Notebook markdown cell using:
![](https://www.cs.ubc.ca/~tmm/vadbook/eamonn-figs/fig5.2.pdf)
but the image is not rendering.
I've tried manually saving the pdf file into my directory and using:
![](fig5.2.pdf) and ![](./fig5.2.pdf)
but that didn't work either.
I do want to point out that converting the pdf into png works:
![](fig5.2.png)
However, since these .pdf images are present throughout my Jupyter Notebooks, I don't want to have to manually convert every single .pdf into .png.
I'm thinking this is a browser issue (using Microsoft Edge Version 109.0.1518.78 (Official build) (64-bit)) since the rest of my classmates and professor using Safari get the embedded pdf images to render.
I appreciate any help.
Whenever i download an higher resolution image chrome compresses it to around 100kb .What can i do to solve this? Is there a certain setting in chrome?
Try clicking on the image, then long press and choose open image in new tab. This should give you a good idea of how big the image is. Then long press and save the image. Note: the mobile version of Google Images does have search tools too (its at the extreme right in the bar with tabs for web, images, videos etc.)
I am trying to make cursor-selectable text in a lot of pdf files unselectable. I use ImageMagick v6.9.10-23 in a script on Ubuntu to convert pdf to jpg and back to pdf as given below.
convert -density 300 -quality 100 selectable.pdf temp.jpg
convert temp.jpg unselectable.pdf
unselectable.pdf is displayed on Ubuntu machine using Evince no problem. It is displayed without problems using Chrome or Firefox on Ubuntu or Windows. However, when it is opened with Acrobat Reader DC on Windows, Acrobat shows error dialogue box "Insufficient data for image" and behind the box document is visible collaged three times side by side and page background is red instead of white.
How can this be fixed?
Printing unselectable.pdf to file printed.pdf fixes the problem. printed.pdf is displayed no problem using Acrobat Reader DC on Windows. This is my fix so far.
I downloaded the following image and opened it in Adobe Illustrator:

For some reason, the image appears differently inside Illustrator than it does in a webpage. Why is this happening?
Here's what it looks like in Illustrator:
If you change the stroke it will fix it (It did for me.)
Illustrator does not always read SVG data correctly,

I used Word 2007 to create a PDF file with an 1526px * 900px image filling a whole page. This is not the first time it's happened, but Google Docs PDF viewer absolutely mangles the colour rendering making it unusable.
I've taken screenshots at the same zoom level in Google Docs viewer and Foxit Reader.
Here's an image for comparison:
It's awful! I've tried messing about with some things, but can't find anything that can correct this issue.
In Chrome you can select "Print" and then "Save as PDF". The image quality in the saved PDF file will go up significantly, compared to the one from "Download as PDF". Google seems to be optimizing images to preserve bandwidth.
Let it be recorded here, 16 months after the present original posting by Turkeyphant and a similar posting [1] on the Docs+Drive product forum, that the problem appears to have been fixed within about the past week. Since that time, when a pdf (or Word) file is opened that resides on the Docs+Drive cloud, the file is rendered with what appears to be proper 24-bit color. The treatment whereby the color was reduced to 5 bits, which could encode 32 colors or 32 shades of gray or 16 of each, depending on the image, has been abandoned.
To the best of my knowledge the Docs+Drive staff have not announced this change, either on their Blog or on their product forum. I noticed the change a few days ago and noted it on the conversation [1].
[1] (2013-05-21) Problem in pdf-viewer with color images

It might have something to do with compression of the image in the PDF.
I mean, PDF supports JPEG2000-encoded images (JPXDecode Filter) and PDF Reference states that:
From a single JPEG2000 data stream, multiple versions of an image may
be decoded. These different versions form progressions along four
degrees of freedom: sampling resolution, color depth, band, and
location. For example, with a resolution progression, a thumbnail
version of the image may be decoded from the data, followed by a
sequence of other versions of the image, each with approximately four
times as many samples (twice the width times twice the height) as the
previous one. The last version is the full-resolution image.
Google Docs viewer might be displaying only first version of the image (with lower resolution or lower color depth) thus producing "awful" output.
Perhaps the attached pair of images will help towards clarifying what is happening with color in images that are rendered through the Google Docs pdf viewer. I inserted the Wikipedia image RGB_Color_Solid_Cube (1024*1024 pixels) into an otherwise empty Google Docs text document, converted it to pdf, and viewed the resulting pdf files two ways: once through the Google Docs+Drive pdf viewer and once through the regular pdf viewer of the Chrome or Firefox browser. Then I made screenshots. Here is the RGB Color Cube via the Docs PDF Viewer and here is the RGB Color Cube via a regular browser PDF Viewer.
The color resolution in the Docs PDF Viewer version is really awful; it looks like 64 colors at most. Maybe someone else is able to recognize this kind of rendering and identify the problem better.
This is related to compression and it's something that you can't change in the default view of Google Docs Viewer. The simple solution is to upload the PDF and just serve it from the site in an iFrame. Here is an example:
