Adding Click Tags to Flash and also reducing file size?
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows how to add a Click Tag to a Flash movie?
I have the file finished but they require Click Tags added to each file.
Also my file is currently around 100kb and they need it under 30kb (last time they got someone to reduce my file to 30kb from 110kb), so Im sure this can be done but not quite sure how. I am using Flash CS4,
thanks,
Paul
I would recommend going to 15 if you are going to play with frame rate.
If you want to know how data rate effects the size
double-click the setting for your movie
look at the inspector
Under the summary tab compressor show you how big the file size will be at _ data rate etc.
Changing the data rate will be reflected here.
When a client doesn't want a file over 15mb I use this tool to know and understand how data rate and other settings effect the overall file. This works for h.264 but may not be the same for every setting.

Export to Flash and keep the file size small!
Clearly Keynote has a major bug when exporting to Flash. The files become very large, about 10x larger then the combined size of the JPEG's inserted. Earlier today I discovered how to get around this issue, albeit a far from perfect solution. Simply open each picture used in Photoshop and use the "save for web" menu. Save each image as GIF, 128 colors and rebuild the Keynote presentation. Although a color rich picture saved as GIF versus a reasonable compressed JPEG is x 3 or x 4 times larger the end result when exporting the Keynote to Flash is substantially smaller. Apparently Keynote exports to Flash without adding size when GIF's are used. Apple, please fix this "JPEG export" bug!
Hi Gopal,
You can get the components in your internal table using the below code-
lo_struc_descr ?= cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_data( <fs_line> ).
lt_components = lo_struc_descr->get_components( ).
* Insert the component names in the start of the file
LOOP AT lt_components INTO ls_components.
IF lv_string IS INITIAL.
lv_string = ls_components-name.
ELSE.
CONCATENATE lv_string ls_components-name INTO lv_string
SEPARATED BY cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
Here <fs_line> is a work area. Basically we are getting all the fields in the internal table and writing their names in the start of the file.
Hope it helps.

Colorsync Utility: PDF Compression vs. Reduce File Size filters
What's the difference between these two? I used Automator to make two applications, which I think I screwed up, because they're not reducing file sizes now. 1 would make 100+ pngs into a pdf and use "reduce file size," I think. 300 MB would become 80 MB, e.g. I would then use a not-so-great PDF application called PDFStudio9 (because I lost my Acrobat DVD and couldn't get a replacement) to OCR that reduced-size pdf. At which point I would run the other application, which I think compressed the OCR'd pdf. Which would be about 40 MB at the end. But I'm not sure if that's the order of compression I used.
So what's the difference between the two types of filters, and when would I want to use each for ultimately creating a non-titanic-sized pdf?Cathy,
You have posted your question in a forum dedicated to the Final Cut Studio application Color. It is a very specialized program to grade (adjust) the color in video/film images. We know nothing regarding PDFs.
Have you tried posting this on an Adobe support site?

Trying to reduce file size of my opening page in a flash site
I'm using the Flash CS4 IDE, and the first page of my site takes a lot longer to load than I want it to. So I wanted to go through the varied images / symbols / movie clips / sounds and so on to see where all the memory is being chewed up.
When I go into my library, however, I can see the Name, LInkage, usecound and Type of my elements, but no mention of file size and I can't seem to find any right click menu that lets me add file size to the list of details being displayed.
Is there a way to make it show file size? Or some workaround?
And are there any best practices to reduce file size aside from using symbols for anything that's used more than once and reducing image and sound quality?
ThanksI was actually using the term pretty loosely. I'm building a Gaia site which works by loading an Index page, then a Nav (navigation) page on top of that, and then lets you load and unload pages as necessary on top of those.
Since the Nav page never gets unloaded it's a good place to park certain content. So it's actually my Nav page that's gotten too bloated. And the coding is handled through a separate Nav.as file (so it's not the first frame of my nav.swf, it's all the varied movie clips I had to incorporate into my Nav.fla
I'm just looking for a way to identify which MovieClips & sound files (only have a couple of short ones) and other assets are taking up the most memory so I can see if I can cut those down.
Also, do unused symbols use up memory or is it only the assets you actually end up adding that count toward file size?

Reduce File Size and Optimise PDF both increase file size
Hi All
I have exported a pdf (our college mag) at smallest file size from Indesign CS4 for online use. The problem is the resultant file size is a little under 19Mb. Using both or either Reduce File Size or Optimise functions simply result in an increase to 22Mb. The document is packed with images however I would have thought one or both of these processes would have helped reduce the file size to a more manageable download file size.
A pdf is also produced to go to print so simply compressing all images prior to imcuding them in Indesign is not a preferable option - this would mean creating two separate Indesign documents, something which I would rather avoid if possible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as always.
The file reside here if anyone cares to take a look http://www.ayrcoll.ac.uk/index.php?name=UpDownload&req=viewdownload&cid=11&orderby=dateD It's the latest release (September 09)
Thanks
ColinYou might want to do an audit of the PDF (button in PDF Optimizer) and try to figure out what the various parts are. It shows 58% is content streams (sorry, but I am not sure what that is), 26% is overhead, and only 12.7% is graphics. Since you are not storing bookmarks and such, you might want to try going back to ID and printing to the Adobe PDF printer for a comparison. It may be one technique is more efficient than the other.
When I used the optimizer, the file did get larger. When I used Reduce File Size, it got slightly smaller. The key may be in figuring out what the various parts are from the audit. You might try copying one page of ID to a new document and play with various versions - different fonts (all were embedded and that is probably best), variations on graphics, etc. That is all I can suggest since I would simply be playing with different ways to produce the document and looking at what is causing the bloat. When the Images are only 12.7% and the fonts less than 1%, there is something going on to produce the size, and those 2 are typically the killers. I would mention tags that tend to bloat, but you do not have any (normally used for assessibility).
You might want to try some of the preflight checks to find issues. I did the transparency check and got 170 instances in 22 pages. Flattening the page may help. There were some pages that seemed to be very bad. However, I did not get a big file size reduction. I did not get a lot of improvement by printing to a new PDF either. Certain pages seem to be part of the bloat problem. The print took a long time around pages 11 and 22.
One troubleshooting technique would be extract pages to separate files and look at the details of each page to see what is causing the issue.
Need to go. Good luck. -

I need to zip pdf files to email them to a PC user. The problem is file size is not reduced.
I tried zipping them in Win 7 (which I use via Parallels 7) and sending them to the Finder to email.
But lately nothing is reduced. I tried choosing the Reduce File Size option in the Quartz Filter when I save the doc. The file size was reduced. However, the recipient could not read the file. Everything was blurry.
Is there a solution?I am having some PDF sizing issues also, I am a BETA tester for TurboCAD Mac, and with the usage of (public) version 5, I have had some scaling issues. I have had (auto sent) 15 plus crash reports, (available as text) and had posted my scenario within the "lion- problems so far" article, so not to use up extra bandwith- or whatever- there are pictures there. I was not able to upload a PDF on site, and the staff @ Turbo CAd is working on it also. this is Lion specific new update, as I have posted many large format PDF's
Here (edit to add url)
Thanks for the helps!

I use Adobe Acrobat Pro XI (11.0.08) When performing "Save as" "Reduced file size pdf" Adobe processes for a while then completely stops, and has to close down. Just started doing that today.
I have Windows 8.1, and when I right click on the Windows flag (bottom left), the menu gives me a "Search" option. When I enter "%temp%", it goes to " "my username"/ appdata/temp" which is a list of file 1718 file folders. Many are empty but I did a small sample. Is that the right place to delete? I tried Windows- Disk Clean, but that did not help.

PDF reduce file size filters and CMYK to RGB conversion
This doesn't seem to be on-topic to this forum, but I'm hoping someone here has the expertise to answer my question. We have some scripts which take a series of press-quality pdfs and use the "reduce file size" filter to prepare them for viewing on the web. We run these scripts on a 10.4 machine, and the filter works very well, reliably reducing file sizes of all sorts of pages.
When we tried to upgrade the machine, we discovered that the quartz filtering has changed in 10.5 and 10.6. While it's usually an improvement, getting maybe 5-10% better compression ratios, it has become unreliable in that about 5% of my files fail spectacularly -- they blow up to 3, 4, 5, 6 times the original size.
The other thing that happens is that the 10.5/10.6 filters munge the colors up. I found the solution to this -- in the ColorSynchUtility, make a duplicate of the Reduce File Size filter, and add a Color Management Component called Convert To Profile. This allows me to set a filter that converts the CMYK content to RGB. The problem is that there are about 40 choices of profiles, and it's not at all clear what I should use. Many of them have printer manufacturer's names in them, some say "Adobe", others have cryptic codes (probably referring to various RFCs and schemes). I've tried a couple of the ones that don't look like they are for printers, basically chosen at random. They all produce files of slightly different sizes for the reductions that go well, but on the files that blow up, some filters are better than others. (For example, I have a 5MB page which reduces to 1.4MB with the 10.4 filter, but blows up to 27MB with the "sRGB IE61966-2.1" profile, but only 12MB with the "Adobe RGB" profile.)
So I have 2 questions:
1) Is there any way to configure a 10.5/10.6 custom profile so that it behaves as reliably as the 10.4 "stock" PDF Reduce File Size works? It doesn't have to be the most wonderful compression algorithm out there, just so that it never or rarely has a file blow up in size.
2) For converting press documents to pdfs that are going to go on the web, what is a good "Convert to profile" to use of the 40-some choices on the pull-down menu?Cathy,

Making a interactive PDF from indesign, but it's too big. Tried to reduce file size in Acrobat, but
Making a interactive PDF from indesign, but it's too big. Tried to reduce file size in Acrobat, but it does not reduce file size.
Use the Optimize PDF command in Acrobat, it gives you more control. I think it's under the Advanced menu in Acrobat 9 Pro and File > Save As > Optimized PDF in Acrobat X Pro.
You might try playing around with different settings. You can also click the Audit Space button at the upper right to see if its from images or other things causing the file size problem.
Unfortunately, InDesign doesn't write interactivity in a very optimized way. You get better results with buttons, for example, creating them in Acrobat Pro and using the Duplicate command to duplicate them across multiple pages. -
Reduce file size with action wizard
(German version below)
Hey,
I got two questions for action wizard in Acrobat XI Pro.
I try to reduze file size of many PDFs using acion wizard. My tests worked fine but now I got some problems I try to explain now:
1. I add a directory with many subdirectorys to my process list. Adobe now adds not only PDFs to my list, it also adds JPGs, DOCs etc. That means I have to delete every single file I not want to convert to PDF cause I only want to reduce file size of excisting PDFs. Is there any possibility to only add PDFs in my processing list?
2. If a PDF is opend by any other user I get a information about it. This info I need to acknowledge every time it pops up cause my process interrups. Is there any possibility to ignore this info?
I´m happy for any help i can get here. Thx.
Regards

Hallo Leute,
ich benötige Hilfe beim Benutzen des Aktionsassistenten im Acrobat XI Pro.
Ich versuche bei sehr vielen PDFs die Dateigröße zu verringern. Dazu habe ich mir eine Stapelverarbeitung per Aktionsassistent erstellt die bei meiner Testumgebung auch super funktioniert. Leider habe ich noch einige Probleme für die ich Hilfe benötige:
1. Wenn ich einen Ordner mit sehr vielen Unterordnern und verschiedenen Inhalten einfüge möchte ich eigentlich nur die PDFs verarbeiten. Leider fügt Acrobat auch alle JPGs DOCs etc. hinzu. Ich muss also alle unerwünschten Dokumente herausfiltern, da auch keine sortierung vorhanden ist. Bei mehreren Tausend Dokumenten nicht leistbar. Gibt es hier eine Möglichkeit nur PDFs in die Stapelverabeitung aufzunehmen?
2. Sollte die Verarbeitung mal laufen kommt es hin und wieder vor das die PDFs durch einen Benutzer geöffnet sind. Ich bekommen hier eine Meldung von Acrobat die ich erst bestätigen muss bevor es weiter geht. Da das Programm eigentlich über mehrer Tage/Wochen im Hintergrund laufen soll passt mir das gar nicht wenn ich alle Stunde überprüfen muss ob die Stapelverabeitung noch läuft.
Ich hoffe es gibt jemanden der mir helfen kann. Ich bin über jede hilfreiche Antwort glücklich.
GrußFor starters, let's refer to your original post: "this is indeed a serious problem and step back in functionality..." This statement is a quite ridiculous assertion, unnecessarily dramatic, wholly inaccurate, and unhelpful. Your statement "is this a joke" and "I know Acrobat tends to choke...etc..." is just pure gibberish and polemical. It is quite easy to feed any application enough data to cause a performance failure, but one would really need to question one's motive and prudent use of one's time at this point - unless you are tasked with stress and load testing the software to determine minimum working requirements.
'Batch Processing' is, since Acrobat 9.x, dead and gone, Acrobat 11's approach is to aggregate many hitherto unavailable tools and commands and allow the user to create custom workflows. More interactivity has been built into the process, which may or may not be desirable in each case depending on the workflow context and requirements. But we have obviously moved away from the concept of processing a large number of files and towards a more targeted and effective processing of smaller sets of files. The default Actions we deliver with Acrobat 11 reflect this intention.
The feature "Batch Processing", which was an Acrobat feature from A5 (I believe) up to A9, previously had been hidden in Menu/Advanced/Document Processing/Batch Processing has been wholly replaced by a completely overhauled framework called Actions, now part of the Tools panel, and will be immediately accessible when Tools is called in the UI.
Thus the obscured Batch Processing may have been a tool considered and used by an extremely small set of users to do exactly that, i.e., batch process a large number of files, but had been fairly inflexible, generally speaking, and buggy. We were very well aware that if we were to overhaul the feature, add a considerably larger number of available tools and commands in Acrobat, provide wide possibilities for customization built towards specific workflows, and bring it to the forefront, we were going to sacrifice some of the aspects of batch processing a large number of files. Not calling it "Batch Processing" anymore - because it isn't - may be an indication of this intention.
Personally I have used and tested Batch Processing periodically during various Acrobat projects, but I don't remember encountering the "Reduce File Size" command - which is a subset of Save and file optimization - to use within a batch sequence. I may be wrong, and your screen shots would be welcome here. In fact go ahead and construct a batch sequence that (1) uses 'Reduce File Size and (2) applies file type filters to it, and post it either here or to me privately. I would be happy to be wrong. But regardless, we are grateful for positive input that points out defects, allows us to improve the functionality of the product, providing the intended changes are reasonable, and that the communication of said issues remain respectful of this process and of the individuals we depend upon to implement these changes. The tone of your response comes very close to rendering a proper consideration of this issue irrelevant. -
Reduce File Size doesn't work!
When I click the (new) option 'Reduce File Size' in Keynote '09 the app prompts a estimated new size which is smaller than the current size. When I click on 'Reduce' the app doesn't do anything except for showing an error report which tells me something like: "..the file size was not reduced", for all of the files included. They are just regular .jpg/.png and .psd files. Did anyone else notice this bug..?

I'd say if it is a very large file with multiple large images, it might not be actually freezing, just taking its sweet time.
It's why I leave Activity Monitor running when I use iWork applications.
This way, I know ifd the app is dead or if it's heavily busy.
Either that or it has nothing to do. It trims and reduces the resolution of bitmap images to 72dpi. There will be a fair bit of work if you have transparency in the document.
It doesn't do a very good job IMHO and to reduce the file by 90% is a big ask.
The 'Reduce FileSize' feature isn't linked to the 'export to PDF' feature.
As explained, before applying "Reduce file size" it's good practice to "Reduce Image File Size".
This will drop the parts of the pictures which aren't displayed.
The asked task doesn't imply a reduction of the pictures by 90%.
As I already wrote several times, it's more efficient to crop images to the really used area *_before inserting them in a Pages document_*.
A Pages document is huge by nature because the Index.xml file describing its contents is highly verbose.
If the document was saved with the 'embed Preview.pdf' feature active, the size of this PDF is adding a lot of used space.
I'd print to pdf and reduce the quality in Acrobat Pro.
Most of us don't own Acrobat Pro.
I feel that it would be a bit silly to buy an application whose price is : 450$ as a complement for a 80$ set of applications.
Before doing that, I would
(a) crop pictures before inserting them
(b) try to enhance Pages behaviour for free installing enhanced PDF filters.

Reducing file size #2...Preview, Quartz Filter vs Adobe Pro Optimize
Questions on reducing a pages to pdf file…I will post each question seperatly.
2) I read that you can reduce file size of a pdf in preview with a quartz filter. I created my own filer and it worked as expected. But, I also have Adobe Acrobat Pro, with save as PDF Optimized. The pro seems to have much more capability than the quartz filters.
Is one better that the other to use? The adobe optimize (standard settings) took it from 20 to 6 megs.
THanks, BobThe Adobe Acrobat settings you chose are probably using .jpeg to reduce the file size.
.jpegs are lossy. ie You lose detail and sharpness the more you compress the image.
The Quartz filters are usually of very high quality, but they are a black box and you need to understand what the settings are in each one. Quartz filters are extremely powerful, fast and as I said usually high quality but I suggest you experiment and see if they meet your needs.

How do you reduce file size of a PDF if Save As doesnt work?
I have been trying to reduce the size of a PDF, using the Save As > Optimized PDF method.
I have also tried Save As > Reduced Size PDF.
This is on a file made up of 20 pages of full page Jpegs. (These were generated by the script in Photoshop that generates Jpeg files from Layer Comps within the document.)
If I use Reduced Size PDF, I get a greatly reduced file size but the image quality suffers greatly. (Lots of artifacts and blurryness)
There are no options to choose the level of compression I want.
If I use Optimized PDF method, I cant seem to reduce the file size no matter what I set the Jpeg compression to.
Is there some way to cut the size of the file down but not lose so much image quality?
Any suggestions?Part of the problem here is that the files that are produced when I run the script to output files from layer comps are very big.
If I "save for web" for each layer comp, I wind up with way smaller Jpegs. Thus a much smaller PDF.
So the question is: Can you make the script, Layer Comps to Files, create smaller more optimized Jpegs? (Like you get when you save for web)
