PDF "Size" Issue

I have a pdf file with a bunch of form inputs that I am populating with cfpdfform, but the agency form the pdf will print to has changed slightly so I need to move the form inputs slightly. I have a copy of the new form and I thought I could just copy all the formfields with ctrl-a and paste them on the new form, then adjust their locations and copy and paste them in their new arrangement back into my original pdf. But it seems like the two pdfs are different "sizes". I guess I am not understanding "size" in PDFs. Like in an image you can just go into the image properties and see the dimensions and adjust them. How can I see/adjust the dimensions so that I can arrange the formfields to fit on the agency form.
The 2 forms are attached. new_TOA.pdf is the blank pdf I use to populate with the formfields. TOA_103.pdf is the new form.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I agree. The form fields are on a form that is 16.83" X 12.83", where the form is  11" X 8.5". You do indeed get the same results whether you copy or do the replace pages. Here are some steps to take to get where you likely want with the "bad" file (last one posted):
1. Select to highlight the fields in the blue bar.
2. Many of the fields will be off the screen, so zoom out until all are visible. Then select all (EDIT). Right click on one and select properties. Change the General>Orientation to 0 degrees.
3. Item by item, select a field and place it in the approximate location and resize it as well as possible.
4. Once (3) is complete and all fields are on screen, zoom in to work the detail. Now resize and place each field as needed.
5. I strongly suggest you change the Letter field and the Pat_sex field to radio buttons for much more useful results. In the Options>Export Value, set the  Y/N or M/F as appropriate. The letter field might default to N selection.
It will take time to redo all of the placement and such. You should be able to do it in 3 or 4 hours. It will still probably take less time than redoing the fields all together. I may have not given the optional solution, but it should do the job. There may still be the issue of font size and the fact that the name parts will have to be split out and are not quite obvious to the user. You will have to make a lot of decisions as you go. It might also be useful if you could get the original  document that the form was created from and print to PDF rather than use a graphic. That would make a smaller and much more pleasant form from my perspective. Be sure you embed fonts.
I am assuming you are not submitting these forms any place. There are all sorts of issues in terms of form data, Reader Rights (limited by the license), and related issues for form use you should be aware of.
I have attached copies of partially modified forms from your replace pages one and also from the original with some fields copied and then fixed up. I had problems with the client_id on the last one, but that may have been something I did. Hope this all helps.

  • PDF size issues in PSE

    I'm having a problem with PSE 11 saving my files in a size too large for transmission by email even when I use the "low" quality option.  I have to send files for commerical ads for review to clients via email and even set at "low" for an 8.5 x 11 page the size of the file is 25mg as opposed to 33.7 for "high".  The jpg file set a high quality is only 4mg.  Is there an issue with the PDF format on PSE 11 (didn't have this problem until I upgraded)?

    I tired saving as pdf one of my sample images and it does create a huge file compared to the original file (relatively speaking) so this is not the best way to create a pdf file.
    Another way is to use third party FREE software such asBullzip that can create pdf files by printing your images/documents to a odf file. 
    Or you could paste the image in Microsoft Word (office 2007, 2010, 2013) and save as PDF file.
    Or you could get Adobe Acrobat Full version but this costs money.
    If you are doing lots of pdf files then getting Bullzip is the way forward IMHO.
    Sorry, there is no easy solution I can think of.

  • Page size issues while saving Deski report to PDF

    Hi All,
    While saving the Deski report as PDF, the page size changes randomly.
    The workflow is:
    Created a report in Deski.
    -- Chekced in File | Page setup the zoom size(Fit to Print | Adjust to) is 100% and the paper size is A4.
    -- Saved it as PDF.
    -- In Acrobat Reader 7.0, opened the save report, the size of paper is 8.5*11, the normal paper size.
    -- In the report in theFile | Page setup, changed the zoom size to anything less than 100% (e.g changed to 90%) whereas the paper size is A4.
    -- Saved it as PDF.
    -- In the Acrobar Reader noticed that the page size increases to some random size(e.g 9.18*12.99).
    When priting the Document the printer changes the same to A4 resulting in truncating of the content.
    The page size should be same but the content size should reduce.
    The issue can be reproduced in 6.5 and XIR2 as well.
    Is there any workaround for this that the size of the content decrease rather than increasing the page size??

    Hi Sarbhjeet,
    Thank you for all your help.
    Further to our investigation we found that this is known issue and it is a limitation of the Product, it wont be fixed.
    The ADAPT for the same is ADAPT00743734
    It is reproducible with XI 3.1 as well.
    FYI...........
    1. PDF Engine will get the rendering information from the busobj. If there is a character size differences between PDF and busobj, there are chances that you may see bigger cells or reduced data in PDF.
    2. In the report when Fit to 1 page by 1 wide in Pagesetup->FitToPrint, the page size will be set to the fit the complete report in busobj.
    3. When save as PDF, this information (increased page size, due to settings in 2) will be sent to PDF Engine. The Engine will try to fit the size into the available standard PDF size (based on Print settings and other combinations).If it tries to fit the report (enhanced page size) to the available size, then we loose lot of information depending on the number of columns and rows.
    4. Shrinking the report in busobj may not feasible.
    When we change the page size in Fit to Print (either Adjust to % or Fit to ) , in reporter it changes the page size instead of changing the rendering to fit to the page.
    When save the report to PDF, it gets the information with extended page size. So we see the enhanced page in PDF.
    Also in order to implement the shrink (instead of changing the Page size), each cell has to be shrieked to the percentage of the reduced page (compared to the original page size). It becomes more complicated when charts come to picture.
    I hope the above information helps.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Why is my PDF size from my InDesign export still large?

    I'm doing class project that is a four-page, seven-image document with very little text. The project must be submitted as a PDF under 300 KB. However, when I export the document under the smallest file size preset and with the compression rates down to 72 dpi, I get a PDF that is 612 KB.
    All my classmates are able to get it under 300 KB, so I'm confused as to why mine is so large. I'm using 5 JPGs and 2 GIFs, and each take up a 5in by 5in square in the document. They are relatively really small pictures (avg. 250 KBS) and I've even re-saved all to be under 100 KB, but the PDF size only drops to around 500 KB I transferred between InDesign CC on Mac and InDesign CS5 on Windows and wonder if that is a concern.

    Just wanted to share the results, in case someone comes across this forum in the future.
    In danegonzalez's four-page InDesign layout, seven black-and-white images were used.  Three pages contained two 5" by 5" images accompanied by seven lines of text under each image, and the last page had one image-and-description set of similar sizes.  An audit of the PDF done on Acrobat (below) showed that the images made up the majority of the file size.
    Since the images had quite a bit of detail, I figured that changing their file type would be the best way to create a more compact PDF and keep the integrity of the images.  So I cropped the images to size and saved them as 24-bit PNG files.  Even though the PNG files were larger than the originals, it gave nice PDF results.  Here is the audit results of the updated PDF after using InDesign's "Smallest File Size" default preset.
    I'm glad we were able to resolve this issue. 

  • PDF Size is huge when inserting an image on every page

    Hello,
    I've got a little problem when inserting an image in a crystal report and then exporting it to PDF.
    We're using Crystal Report XI and we've designed the report with a sub-report that gets an image from a database field and put this image on every page of the report (it's just a logo for every page).
    This image is a JPEG file with 32KB size.
    The exported report is about 1000 pages and we're dealing with an issue because of that. Sometimes the report won't generate giving a OutOfMemory Exception (altough we've defined MinHeap/MaxHeap to 512M).
    We also find this curious :
    - A generated pdf report with the image on every page totals 100MB size (we would expect something like 32KB*100pages=32000KB/1024KB=31.25MB ?) : Depending on the number of pages, could give OutOfMemoryError.
    - A generated pdf report without the image on every page totals 1.8MB size. : No OutOfMemoryError problem here.
    Do you know of any way to optimize this, reducing the pdf size and ?
    Thank you very much.

    Hello Ted Ueda,
    Thank you for your answer, I was suspecting that...
    Since this is an obvious problem, do you know if there is another way of including an image in the report in a more efficient way ? For instance, include the image, only on the first page and on the rest of the pages just include a link to that image?
    I've searched in here : https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/JwBmBQ , but did not find anything close to this...
    Thank you.

  • Paper Size issues with CreatePDF Desktop Printer

    Are there any known paper size issues with PDFs created using Acrobat.com's CreatePDF Desktop Printer?
    I've performed limited testing with a trial subscription, in preparation for a rollout to several clients.
    Standard paper size in this country is A4, not Letter.  The desktop printer was created manually on a Windows XP system following the instructions in document cpsid_86984.  MS Word was then used to print a Word document to the virtual printer.  Paper Size in Word's Page Setup was correctly set to A4.  However the resultant PDF file was Letter size, causing the top of each page to be truncated.
    I then looked at the Properties of the printer, and found that it was using an "HP Color LaserJet PS" driver (self-chosen by the printer install procedure).  Its Paper Size was also set to A4.  Word does override some printer driver settings, but in this case both the application and the printer were set to A4, so there should have been no issue.
    On a hunch, I then changed the CreatePDF printer driver to a Xerox Phaser, as suggested in the above Adobe document for other versions of Windows.  (Couldn't find the recommended "Xerox Phaser 6120 PS", so chose the 1235 PS model instead.)  After confirming that it too was set for A4, I repeated the test using the same Word document.  This time the result was fine.
    While I seem to have solved the issue on this occasion, I have not been able to do sufficient testing with a 5-PDF trial, and wish to avoid similar problems with the future live users, all of which use Word and A4 paper.  Any information or recommendations would be appreciated.  Also, is there any information available on the service's sensitivity to different printer drivers used with the CreatePDF's printer definition?  And can we assume that the alternative "Upload and Convert" procedure correctly selects output paper size from the settings of an uploaded document?
    PS - The newly-revised doc cpsid_86984 still seems to need further revising.  Vista and Windows 7 instructions have now been split.  I tried the new Vista instructions on a Vista SP2 PC and found that step 6 appears to be out of place - there was no provision to enter Adobe ID and password at this stage.  It appears that, as with XP and Win7, one must configure the printer after it is installed (and not just if changing the ID or password, as stated in the document).

    Thank you, Rebecca.
    The plot thickens a little, given that it was the same unaltered Word document that first created a letter-size PDF, but correctly created an A4-size PDF after the driver was changed from the HP Color Laser PS to a Xerox Phaser.  I thought that the answer may lie in your comment that "it'll get complicated if there is a particular driver selected in the process of manually installing the PDF desktop printer".  But that HP driver was not (consciously) selected - it became part of the printer definition when the manual install instructions were followed.
    However I haven't yet had a chance to try a different XP system, and given that you haven't been able to reproduce the issue (thank you for trying), I will assume for the time being that it might have been a spurious problem that won't recur.  I'll take your point about using the installer, though when the opportunity arises I might try to satisfy my cursed curiosity by experimenting further with the manual install.  If I come up with anything of interest, I'll post again.

    I am on a Windows 7 OS attempting to reduce pdf size with my Adobe Acrobat Standard XI & Pro.  The application keeps timing out and  at the Subsetting embedded fonts portion and the application gives "Adobe Acrobat has stopped working" and then closes.  The document is 275 pages.  Is there something I can do to stop this?

    Hi Ricci,
    Since when are you facing this issue? Did you tried system restore to a date before this problem occured.
    Does acrobat stop working when you open this specific pdf file or with any pdf file that you open?

  • PDF access issue with OHS WebGate

    Hi all,
    The architecture has OAM, OID, Documentum server. OID is used as user store for OAM. Documentum application is deployed in WebLOgic server. There is a OHS server front ending the WebLOgic server where we installed the webgate. We are protecting the Documentum URL through OHS host name in OAM Policy domain and everything is working fine so far. While downloading a pdf document in Documentum server application, it is processing as 33% and hangs over for 5 mins and finally displays an error given below.
    invokeMethod() failed while calling: onReturnFromProgress
    Operation failed : com.documentum.ucf.common.transport.TransportException: Client failed to handshake with server within 250 seconds.
    After closing this window, press the Refresh or Reload button on your browser to continue
    I have seen couple of metalink notes about this pdf webgate issue and tried several options for webgate params CachePragmaHeader and CacheControlHeader.
    Tried the following combinations:
    CachePragmaHeader           private
    CacheControlHeader private
    CachePragmaHeader           novalue
    CacheControlHeader novalue
    CachePragmaHeader           public
    CacheControlHeader public
    CachePragmaHeader           novalue
    CacheControlHeader private
    CachePragmaHeader           novalue
    CacheControlHeader public
    Like this I have tried almost 9 combinations but no luck. Also tried disabling the IP validation. There are no errors in webgate or access server logs
    Please let me know if you have any clue on this.
    -Mahendra.

    We're seeing an issue that looks almost identical to this but using Windows 2008/IIS7.x and WebGate v10.1.4.3. The PDF will begin download then it looks like a connection resets. We've tried it using PDF's ranging in size from <1mb to over >16mb. The results are consistent. On IIS turning off "http keep alive" allows the downloads to proceed (and probably diminishes performance to some degree).
    While the workaround we found allows PDFs to download I'd really be interested in seeing what's causing this.

  • PDF size limit?

    Is there a size limit in pages that the iPhone can handle? It tends to freeze up or just close large PDFs (8+ pages). I know the iPhone will kill apps that exceed a certain in memory size.

    There's no page limit, per se, other than the overall file size issue you refer to (not a hard limit there, either, but crashes are more likely with larger files and longer time since the last reset of the iPhone).

  • How can I reduce a fotobook pdf size for online printing

    Hello aperture,
    I have been creating a large customer book (33 x 28 cm) with aperture.
    I'm working with RAW datas and the fotobook has got around 150 pages.
    My online printing office accepts only PDF X3 2002 datas and I can get this with adobe acrobat X Pro.
    I print the book in aperture an save it as an Adobe PDF and than, I can save the datas as a PDF X3:2002. It works perfectly.
    My problem is that the online printing office accepts only 2 GB and my pdf, which I've printed with aperture, has got around 7 GB.
    What can I do in aperture to reduce the pdf size and get a smaller one?
    My aperture settings for Export is: 300 dpi.
    Thanks for you help,
    Best

    Actually in LR4 and Camera Raw 7 in Photoshop CS, you CAN create a downsampled DNG by using the Lossy Compression method of converting to DNG. In the LR 4 Export, select DNG then you have the ability to specify long dimensions or the size in Megapixels. Note, a Lossy DNG isn't un-demosiaced, it's been demosiaced but is still stored in Linear Gamma, so it's like a partially baked file, not a true unbaked raw file.
    Note, in Camera Raw 7 when you set up your save dlog, it's a bit different. You select Lossy DNG and then have a dropdown for size presets...
    Couple of things about the Lossy DNG, you SHOULD name it to distinguish between the downsampled DNG and your original DNG...you don't want to get into the situation where you overwrite your original. Also note that some things won't work totally as expected. For example, sharpening and noise reduction will be working but on a downsampled file. While the numbers will correlate, the actual effects will be a bit different because it's a downsampled file and more prone to potentially over sharpening. It all works, and the controls will work fine if you work at 100% zoom, but don't expect the high resolution your original file had.

  • PDF size of a scan

    Hello there,
    I was trying to find a solution to this, but even Mr. Google doesn't know much.
    My problem is that after upgrading to 10.6 and using the build in Scan feature that came with Snow Leopard, the PDF scans are coming too big. For example a scan of a passport size is 3.8MB or a scan of an A4 document can be anything between 4MB to 6MB per page. Even if I lower the DPI to 150, the size is over 4MB.
    Is there a way of lowering the size of the PDF without using additional software? We are using HP OfficeJet 8500 Pro and HP Photosmart 7280. Both printers have same problem, the PDF size is too big.
    Thank you,
    J

    How are you using OS X scanning?
    I do it through the Image Capture utility, and when I do that, Image Capture integrates with the software that came with the scanner and I can see and adjust all of the scanner's options that control the quality and file size of the scan. I have a different brand though (Epson).
    I get the Apple Image Capture window with a big preview and also a floating Epson window that has all of the scanner's controls.

  • Reducing PDF-size: automatic reduction of datapoints that are used to draw lines in a 2d-axis system within report

    Creating fancy pdf-files for costumers and other purposes is great. However, if the experimental data include many datapoints (>200000) a line-2d-graph ends up in a very big pdf-file. Especially when many pages need to be used.
    Explanation:
    When I use lines to show experimental data in 2d-plots the size of my PDF-file is directly influenced by the number of datapoints used. The more datapoints are used to draw lines within the graph, the bigger the exported PDF-files of the report are.
    It would be great to limit the number of points used to draw a line as it can be done with markers without using the curve transformation option. - Hence, e.g. plotting a line with the help of 200 datapoints is usually as good as showing the same line based on 200000 datapoints but the pdf-size is significantly reduced. You can imagine that when this would be done via the transformation option a long lasting script would be needed for each line to reduce the number of datapoints shown. Hence, the plotting within the report and the actualisation of data would need very long.
     

    Since a while DIAdem optimizes the size of exported PDF-files in a related way as it is suggested here. In principle the PDF-file is exported in a very high resolution, so you can display it in a reader with a very high zoom value (e. g. 6000 %) to look into details of your data. If you have a huge dataset, this could lead in fact to a bigger file size, if data points could be displayed because the high PDF-resolution. But in general, DIAdem only saves information in a PDF-file which is really necessary - but with a high resolution.

  • 10.6.7 - general pdf creation issues?

    I wondered whether anyone else had run into this issue after updating to 10.6.7 when using pdfs created by Preview - perhaps related to the pdf/font issue.
    If it is generally happening, then the 10.6.7 pdf-font issue has an even larger
    impact than previously described:
    1. Open a pdf document in Preview
    2. Select a region and save to clipboard
    3. Save as a new pdf file
    4. Then try importing it as a "Picture" into any of the new Office 2011 apps: Word, PPT, etc.
    This crashes my office 2011 apps (latest version, 14.02) But NOT any earlier version of Office (2008. etc.), which may not do as much pdf checking.
    Before the 10.6.7 upgrade (ie, 10.6.6), this never happened with Office 2011.
    Acrobat complains when opening the Preview-created pdfs about 'missing fonts', so I suspect some sort of pdf creation issue.
    Any fixes (besides the previously suggested one of downgrading to 10.6.6)
    If it's a real bug (not just local to my system), then it's a more far-reaching one than previously described.

    rcberwick wrote:
    So, 3 different Apple tech support people say they know this problem affects
    "multiple applications, including any that deal with pdf files" but that "no fix is
    currently in the works"
    That is wrong because it only involves OpenType Postscript fonts.
    The only solution offered so far is to "downgrade by doing Archive & Install" and
    then re-applying each Combo Upgrade, starting with 10.6.3 up to 10.6.6.
    You wouldn't have to do that either. That is the point of a Combo update. You only need to apply the one you want. It includes all of the previous updates.

  • Smartcardio ResponseAPDU buffer size issue?

    Greetings All,
    I’ve been using the javax.smartcardio API to interface with smart cards for around a year now but I’ve recently come across an issue that may be beyond me. My issue is that I whenever I’m trying to extract a large data object from a smart card, I get a “javax.smartcardio.CardException: Could not obtain response” error.
    The data object I’m trying to extract from the card is around 12KB. I have noticed that if I send a GETRESPONSE APDU after this error occurs I get the last 5 KB of the object but the first 7 KB are gone. I do know that the GETRESPONSE dialogue is supposed to be sent by Java in the background where the responses are concatenated before being sent as a ResponseAPDU.
    At the same time, I am able to extract this data object from the card whenever I use other APDU tools or APIs, where I have oversight of the GETRESPONSE APDU interactions.
    Is it possible that the ResponseAPDU runs into buffer size issues? Is there a known workaround for this? Or am I doing something wrong?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Here is some code that will demonstrate this behavior:
    * test program
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    import javax.smartcardio.*;
    import java.lang.String;
    public class GetDataTest{

                byte[] biometricDataID1 = {(byte)0x5C, (byte)0x03, (byte)0x5F, (byte)0xC1, (byte)0x08};
                byte[] biometricDataID2 = {(byte)0x5C, (byte)0x03, (byte)0x5F, (byte)0xC1, (byte)0x03};

                //establish a connection with the card
                Card card = terminal.connect("*");
                CardChannel channel = card.getBasicChannel();
                //select the card app
                select(channel, aid);
                //verify pin
                verify(channel);
                 * trouble occurs here
                 * error occurs only when extracting a large data object (~12KB) from card.
                 * works fine when used on other data objects, e.g. works with biometricDataID2
                 * (data object ~1Kb) and not biometricDataID1 (data object ~12Kb in size)
                //send a "GetData" command
                System.out.println("GETDATA Command");

                return;
            }catch(Exception e){
                System.out.println(e);
            }finally{

        }
