I am considering this to be solved by: 1. Closing SAS to clear everything. 2. Restarting and only running the necessary ods statements.   I don't think that I needed to reboot. I had to do that, University IT staff asked everyone to do that last night. I think the extra ods statements caused the problem.   ... View more

I will typically have an ods pdf and ods rtf statement active with output. I had added the ods sge to this code to look at the interactive editor. First time that I had looked at that.  What file type would you recommend when creating vector graphics?  The journal specifically asked for pdf so I'm using pdf. ... View more

Dan I decided to shut down SAS and reboot the machine this morning and start over. Yesterday I had multiple ods statements to multiple output files. I only ran them once, noticed the problem and really tried to get a vector pdf. This morning I only ran the ods statements in the code that I posted after the reboot. It works. I am assuming that I needed to clear all of the ods statements that I had ran previously. I have listed the ods statements below:   %let dpi=350; ods listing style=htmlblue image_dpi=&dpi gpath=&gpath; ods html image_dpi=350; ods rtf image_dpi=350 file="G:\Data\Papers\Plots\rates2.rtf"; ods graphics on/ reset=all border=off width=4; ods listing sge=on;   It was my understanding that there shouldn't be a problem with sending output to multiple files at the same time so I didn't worry about the other ods statements. In the ods graphics I selected reset=all. Is there a similar ods statement that will close all ods output, rtf, html, sge?   Thank you for your time on this topic.         ... View more

I agree that the results are very different when using the OUTPUTFMT=PNG vs not using when creating the pdf.   I am not sure of how to check the OPTIONS NOFONTEMBEDDING. I know that it's not in my program. I ran a proc options, and a proc goptions and checked for that text string in the log and didn't find it so I don't think that it is set.   I have a copy of the file after using the style option in the ods pdf statement.   I agree that it appears that the text is compressed in the pdf vector file. This is the first time that I have explicitly requested used the vector format in a pdf file. From searches I believe that all of the pdf's that I have created in the past were vector files and I didn't know it. Specifying the Image Format Each ODS destination uses a default format for its output. You can use the OUTPUTFMT= option in the ODS GRAPHICS statement to change the output format. Note: Unless you have a special requirement for changing the  image format , we recommend that you not change it. The default PNG or vector graphic format is far superior to other formats, such as GIF, in support for  transparency  and a large number of colors. Also, PNG and vector graphics images require much less disk storage space than JPEG or TIFF formats. If you want to generate vector graphics images, you can use the following OUTPUTFMT= values for each destination:   Generating Vector Graphics Output with ODS ODS Destination OUTPUTFMT=value ODS EPUB OUTPUTFMT=SVG ODS destination for Excel OUTPUTFMT=EMF ODS HTML OUTPUTFMT=SVG ODS LISTING OUTPUTFMT=EMF OUTPUTFMT=PDF OUTPUTFMT=PS | EPS | EPSI OUTPUTFMT=SVG OUTPUTFMT=PCL ODS PDF Vector graphics images are generated by default   ...

Dan These are the options that used earlier when creating the png files. I believe you are correct, and I was using listing previously. Code:   %let gpath='G:\Data\Papers\Plots\'; %let dpi=350; ods listing style=htmlblue image_dpi=&dpi gpath=&gpath;   I have alos attached the result of the PNG file and title doesn't wrap and it centered on the graph.   How do I get this with the pdf vector output?   ...

I have changed the font and it fits on one line as long as the text is short enough to fit on the left half of the graph.   ... View more

Do you have any suggestions about the point where the title starts wrapping? If you notice the legend in the upper right corner takes about half of the width of the graph. The tittle starts wrapping when it aligns with the left edge of the legend.  The graph should be 4 inches wide I have been trying different widths to see if the splitting starts on a different word when changing the width. My graph is going to look very strange if I have a title that takes multiple lines but it's only half the width of the graph area and it's left justified. I have tried to center and right justify the title to no effect.   I am considering trying to use an ods text command to get the title since a title statement doesn't seem to work.     ... View more

Paige Thank you for your comment. From what I was seeing on-line I agree.   But, I've seen a lot of very good comments from Reeza so I'm not going to ignore a suggestion from her without testing or searching the documentation.     ... View more

I have removed the outputfmt=svg from the ods graphics statement. It is understanding that all ods pdf documents are vector graphics.   The ods pdf linesize statement gives the following error:   1896 ods pdf linesize 150; -------- 22 202 ERROR 22-322: Syntax error, expecting one of the following: ;, (, ACCESSIBLE, ACCESSIBLE_IDENTIFIER, ANCHOR, AUTHOR, BACKGROUND, BASE, BODY, BOOKMARK, BOOKMARKGEN, BOOKMARKLIST, BOX_SIZING, CLOSE, COLOR, COLUMNS, COMPRESS, CONTENTS, CSSSTYLE, DISPLAY, DOM, DPI, EXCLUDE, FILE, FONTSCALE, GFOOTNOTE, GTITLE, HOST, KEYWORDS, NAMED_DEST, NEWFILE, NOACCESSIBLE, NOACCESSIBLE_IDENTIFIER, NOBACKGROUND, NOBOOKMARKGEN, NOBOOKMARKLIST, NOCOLOR, NOCONTENTS, NOGFOOTNOTE, NOGTITLE, NOPDFNOTE, NOTOC, PACKAGE, PCL, PDF, PDFMARK, PDFNOTE, PDFTOC, PRINTER, PS, SAS, SELECT, SGE, SHOW, STARTPAGE, STYLE, SUBJECT, TEXT, TITLE, UNIFORM.

I have changed the font size for the title to 8 which doesn't wrap but it's unacceptable. It's left justified instead of centered on plot.
