I publish a 41mb InDesign newsletter monthly into interactive pdf. It always becomes a file size of 4mb, 10% of original, when I save to pdf. This month my newsletter is 41mb and it drops to 11mb, 25% of original. I have re-sized all pictures, deleted pages separately, have gotten the file size down to 16mb and it drops to 7mb, 45% of original.
I have gone back and saved Feb and March and it saves to 10% of original, as it did before, and I use the same mechanism to save now.
I have gone to Acrobat Pro and optimized down to 8.8mb, but the quality is not acceptable.
What other variable is there that I haven't discovered?

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Export file size is different from the original raw size

Could someone explain to why, when the original size of a raw file in a folder is about 11mb. But when in Lightroom is shows about 7.1mb. When I export it to a jpeg the size becomes around 3.5mb.
I know that sRAW1 file is 7.1mb as stated in the book. But why does it go down to about 3.5mb when exported to jpeg.
Is there a way to export it to the a higher size? Like 7.1
I used sRAW1 in a canon 50D.
Thanks,
Ray

The "actual" size of you images file is measured by this basic formula, 8-bits is one byte. Each pixel has one byte for the Red, one byte for the Green, and one byte for the Blue colour channels. So, we have 3 bytes per pixel. Multiply the total number of Mega Pixals of your camera's sensor by 3 and you have the true size of an 8 bit image file.
How this image will end up in a final file size depends upon the amount of compression you choose to apply.
The more complex the image, the harder it is to compress without some degradation of image quality. So the original size of an image will not always be a guide to its size when compress. For instance an image with little or no sharpening applied will compress to a much smaller size than the same image with a large amount of sharpening even though the same compression settings were used on export.
If you wish to resize your images on export from LR in specific megapixals (and therefore MB's) then LR/Mogrify has this functionality.
There is a nice simple explanation of this here

When Firefox is not minimised, there are problems with jamming sounds and FPS drops.

Hello, I have some issues, when Firefox is not minimised. When I watch movie on my BS Player or playing World of Tanks and I have not minimised Firefox (there is a window, no matter it is maximised or just window), there are visible FPS drops, but when I minimise the Firefox window, it works just fine. Also when I connect my laptop to my sound amplifier with 2.1 speakers, I can hear a jamming, hamming and whirling, also works fine, when Firefox is minimised. Is there any way to remove this? Its quite annoying. I tried to disable all addons etc., nothing worked. Thanks.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

Since updating Firefox as suggested, when I 'save as' a jpeg, it automatically finds the folder and it's always the wrong folder. How can I disable this feature and go back to the original mode where it remains in the folder I choose until I change it?

For example, I saved a jpeg named 'picasso the guitarist'. I have folders titled A to Z. When I click 'save as' it might open the 'K' folder and I have to manually search the 'P' folder for 'Picasso' and save file. The most irritating thing is, when I 'save as' another jpeg of say 'pieter mother & child' it goes to another folder and does not remain in the 'P' folder, rather it goes to the 'X' folder or some other. This didn't happen before the last upgrade. Can I disable this new 'help' feature that is taking more time than the old version?

Current Firefox versions remember the download directory based upon the URL, so if the URL changes then the default folder may be chosen if there hasn't been selected a download folder before for that server.

Bug 536503 - Last downloaded-to directory should be remembered on a site-by-site basis
Firefox 11 will have a workaround by providing a pref (browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite) to disable this feature.

Photoshop Elements 12 is failing to add the jpg extension to file names when I "save as" even though the jpg format is selected in the drop-down list

I've just been following my normal workflow and all of a sudden my saved files don't have the jpg extension. I'm not having this problem in other photo editing software I use. I haven't changed any settings. Anybody else have this problem?

The Local Settings folder is a hidden folder.
(1) If the file appears in the Downloads manager (Tools menu or Ctrl+j), you can right-click it and use Open Containing Folder to get directly to it.
(2) To be able to see hidden folders on Windows XP in general, try this:
Open My Computer or Windows Explorer
Tools > Folder Options > View tab
Scroll down and look for the checkbox regarding hidden files and folders and unhide them.
Hopefully this will resolve the issue. Any luck?
(3) By the way, you may be able to save the images from the email message to a more convenient location by right-clicking the links and using Save Link As. (Before you open them for editing.)

Interactive PDFs from InDesign 5.5 - hyperlinks not working at all!

I'm creating hyperlinks the way I always did in CS4 (type tool - hyperlinks panel etc) but when I export to PDF either through the new interactive PDF option OR the old print option switching on the interactive check box none of my hyperlinks work in Acrobat. I've checked the Adobe help menus and I don't seem to be doing anything wrong. Does anybody have any ideas? I've got 12 catalogues I need to make into interactive PDFs this afternoon and it's just too slow adding the interactivity in Acrobat (not to mention that if I have to edit any content I'll have to re-do all the interactivity each time). HELP.

I have found a way around this of sorts. Rather than right-clicking to bring up the hyperlinks menu I have to use the hyperlinks panel and specifically use the shortcut at the bottom of the panel. The dialogue box that pops up is slightly different to the one I get when going the long way round. I'm still kind of baffled, but it does seem to work...

Interactive PDF stopped working after upgrade to Safari 7.1 (i.e. all Mavericks users), Suggestions?

We have a set of interactive PDF forms that our users access via the web. We have to use the PDF forms online because they are configured to pre-fill basic information that is acquired from our database/information system, which our users can only access via a web-based interface (i.e. no client). Furthermore, when we save/submit any of these forms, the resulting FDF needs to also be tied to whatever record the user is working on (again, via the web-based interface).
It appears that the Adobe plugin for Macintosh only works for Safari, and 90% of our users are on Macs... so for the last few years we have recommended Safari as the only browser that will work for any Mac user one who uses these forms.
However the Adobe plugin doesn't appear to be working very well with the latest update of Safari (7.1). We can open the forms online, and all the pre-filled data is present, and initially we are able to interact with our form and we can even save/submit. However at some point we simply lose the ability to interact with any of the fields (i.e. after a few minutes of initial use, or if we attempt to edit after re-opening a saved form). Strangely enough - we can still cut and copy text, and the save button still works - but that is about it... no typing or clicking radio buttons etc..
And as Mac users are probably aware, the Safari 7.1 upgrade is tied to the Mavericks OS upgrade - and you can't really just go back to an older version!
Questions:
1) Can Adobe be made to work on a Mac with any browser other than Safari?
2) Are there any other Mac users who use interactive PDF's in Safari 7.1? And if so, are you having (or did you have) any issues and how did you fix them?
3) I have created all our interactive forms on Adobe Pro 9.0 (which I only use to maintain these forms). Until now I have had no reason to upgrade... but could the older version of Pro be part of our problem?

How to create interactive pdf for Ipad using InDesign CS6

Hi I created a Magazine layout using InDesign CS6 and wanted it to be viewed on native Ipad reader (but not as apps). I put interactivity features like page navigations and hyperlinks and converted it to interactive pdf. The problem was the links and buttons are not showing on Ipad.
I tried using Acrobat Pro to create the hyperlinks and this time the navigations and hyperlinks are showing. But is there a way not to create the hyperlinks manually one by one (specially the next page and previous page). If I have more than 100 pages of documents this process will be very tedious.
Is there a solution to create the interactive pdf directly from InDesign without creating the links in Acrobat?

Hi Guys
This is Sean Smith. Marilou who wrote the original post works for me. Bob if you could point us in the direction of details you need I’ll ensure we provide the additional information as soon as possible.
M tells me she pretty much doing exactly what Steve's article suggests.
The concern is what a remarkably cumbersome process this appears to be.
Even though I believe her explanation entirely I find the problem to be highly disconcerting as it’s wasting an immense amount of valuable time and inhibiting the production process significantly.
She is producing wonderful results but via an immensely painstaking process fraught with potential for error. Each page link has to be manually linked to the next by number. It’s entirely possible to make a mistake and link to the incorrect page thus missing pages.
If she inserts a new page – guess what? All the pages links have to changed manually and double checked yet again.
If she makes a ‘Contents’ section as we do and exports the InDesign file as an interactive PDF all the contents items and links are missing and are therefore blank.
She then has to export the document as a plain PDF and do the job again in Acrobat.
For an extravagantly wealthy company with such extraordinarily expensive software I find this to be entirely incredulous.
Who is the Product Manager for InDesign?
Are they aware of this issue?
What are they doing about it and when will it be done?
Just curious are you guys paid employees or volunteers as this appears to be an official forum and we are new here?
Digital publishing of PDF magazines appears to be an explosive growth market especially for platforms such as the iPad but this primary product for the task appears to be inadequate or ill-conceived.
Is DPS a possible solution or is this more for Apps than PDF production?
Regards
Sean

Animated GIF in interactive PDF

Hi all,
I was wondering if someone could help me with the following;
I want to add some animated GIF images to my interactive PDF document in InDesign (also with hyperlinks and video's)
How do I need to save the document, in order to see an animation (instead of just the first layer, without any animation..)
Thank you in advance!

Acrobat and Reader 9 and 10 support flash.
You can create your animation with InDesign CS5 animation panel, after you are ready, simply select your animated object, export selection as SWF (Flash Player) and finally use File>Place command to replace your original animated object with that exported SWF. Now you can export your interactive PDF with animation.

I had a brand new Mac book pro one month old and the hard drive died. Right before it died I was down loading pictures off a memory card and now they aren't on my memory card! They are wedding pictures I took for a friend and irreplaceable! Please help!!

I had a one month old Mac book pro and the hard drive fried! I was down loading a friends wedding pictures when it stopped working and started heating up. I plugged it in and turned it off as it was making a clicking noise. When I turned it back on the was a grey box with a question mark and nothing else. When I took my memory card out the pictures were gone. I took it back to best buy where I bought it and they said it was dead, needed a new hard drive and all my info is lost! Is there any way to get back those irreplaceable wedding pictures?

There are some data recovery programs (software). I would look into that for the images on the card. When files are deleted, the files are still there, just the headers are removed. That being said, a format of the card or new files written to the card can overwrite deleted files.
The physical hard drive could be thousands of dollars to forensically save, with no guarantee.

Can someone help me in building an interactive PDF form with dynamic bounding box?

Hi Guys,
I need to create an interactive PDF form which will contain images, text and fields.
This is how it would be laid out:
Header Image at the top.
Below that a Text Box with a question "Choose the number of licenses" and a drop down option from 1 to 10.
Depending on what they select, I need the following to be displayed.
The following should be encapsuled by a bounding box.
If "1" is selected. "Username: <blank field> Password: <blank field>
Then a button which says "Click Here To Login To Your New Account".
The bounding box should end here.. and I have more text and images below.
This I could achieve! But now if I select "2" I would need the bounding box to automatically become taller to accommodate two rows with "Username <blank> Password <blank>
The bounding box needs to expand or contract based on the number selected in the drop down.
Would love to here your thoughts on this!
Cheers,
Rajiv

If you were to look at the spec for PDF, you'd see that that is probably not possible with a PDF file.
But, I encourage you to ask this question in the Acrobat PDF Forms forum where the forms experts reside, and perhaps they could suggest an answer. JavaScript can be used, and perhaps that's the answer:

Using document.getElementById to change an element size works in iWeb but not when site published

I am trying to use an HTML snippet to construct a "popup" to show explanatory text on iWeb windows. This is the code:
<div id="divName"></div>
<style type="text/css">
/*<![CDATA[*/
#divName {
     border:solid 0px #000;
     text-align:left;
/*//]]>*/
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
function mouseOver()
    var el=document.getElementById("divName");
                   el.style.width=400+"px";
                   el.style.height= 200+"px";
                   el.style.margin="auto";
                       el.style.backgroundColor="#ffffff";
          el.innerHTML="this is a bit of text, and this is some more";
function mouseOut()
    var el=document.getElementById("divName");
                   el.style.width=80+"px";
                   el.style.height= 20+"px";
                   el.style.margin="auto";
          el.innerHTML=" ";
                       el.style.backgroundColor="";
window.onload=mouseOut;
window.onmouseover=mouseOver;
window.onmouseout=mouseOut;
//]]>
</script>
This works o.k. when tested inside iWeb. When the mouse is rolled over the element it is enlarged, the background colour changed and the text displayed. However, when I publish the site the background colour changes and the text is displayed BUT the size of the element remains set to the size set in the "mouseOut" function. On one occasion after publishing it did actually work, but mostly it doesn't!
What am I doing wrong?
Incidentally, when testing under iWeb, the mouseOut function sometimes doesn't shrink the element back to its original size. Mostly it does, but when it doesn't the background has still been made transparent and the text removed. It only appears to be the height and width functions that are failing!

Here's how I started :
http://www.wyodor.net/Ajax/Ajax.html
But to avoid having to edit the page after editing the iWeb page, i figured out a way to do it with a JavaScript :
http://www.wyodor.net/mfi/Maaskant/How_To.html
The magic word is : unique word. Then replace it with your own code.
Then I advanced it a bit to this :
http://www.wyodor.net/_Demo/Fancy/Dynamic_Text.html
And here's an explanation what the HTML Snippet does :

You may have to learn HTML/CSS/JavaScript/DOM/AJAX and how iWeb creates its pages.

How can I convert a Microsoft Publisher doc to PDF when the file size is LARGE?

I have a Microsoft Publisher document that I need converted to PDF. Typically I have no issues converting from Publisher to PDF (and usually can just do it through the "save as" feature in Publisher.) However, this particular file is laden with graphics and therefore very large. I was able to convert it once, but it made some of the graphics as blank boxes. When I try again to convert, it gives me an error message.
Is there a way to conver a LARGE Publisher file to PDF without losing any of the images contained within the document? Please help!

Try emptying the Temp folder. Are you using PDF Maker (not sure that is available for Publisher) or the MS plugin? If PDF Maker, try turning off the tags and reducing the amount of bookmarks needed to a minimum. As an alternative, simply print to the Adobe PDF printer -- will typically give a smaller file and not run into these creation problems for large document, but you will not get bookmarks or such in the conversion process.

MS Word not in list of supported formats to combine into single PDF

AA didn't recognize any Word files (either 2003 or 2010), and no Word file formats are listed in "All Supported Formats" drop down list. What's up?
