Any maintenance work needed to decrease file size / speed up initialization

As we find that the initialization performance of the dashboard is not good, my teammate tried to cut down some data and formula in the Xcelsius file
She keep track on the file size and found that the file size is not decreased even she removed a lot of contents. I'm thinking if there is any tools or function for to re-index or recompile the XLF file?
Besides, any good tips to speed up initiation performance is highly appreciable!
Note: we are working very hard in reducing the using of sumif, countif, vlookup and hlookup already but these cannot be totally avoided based on our requirements~

Hallo Allan,
As you already mentioned, the loading performance of the swf-file mainly depends on the amount of data included into the spreadsheet and the number and complexity of the excel-formulas you used.
Also the number of the components placed on the the dashboard has an influence on the performance.
To speed up the initialization the first approach would be to reduce the embedded data  and formulas.
This can be achieved through dynamically loading the data at runtime via a data connection.
Another approach is to split the dashboard into several XLF-/SWF-Files which are also dynamically loaded on demand at runtime.
This can be achieved via the slide-show or swf-loader component in Xcelsius.
The last, but not recommended, approach is to embedded the swf into a html-file and to do some calculations and navigation-logic in java-script via the external interface connection (EIC).
Regards,
Roman

  • When using the Save Layer Comps to PDF Script, can you change the PDF settings. I need both Smallest File Size and Press Quality?

    When using the Save Layer Comps to PDF Script, can you change the PDF settings. I need both Smallest File Size and Press Quality? Thanks in advance to the group for assisting with this matter.

    No, there isn't. The way you're using the file is not recommended. You
    should use a review tracker to avoid getting in the way of one another.

  • Any way to decrease file size of imported AVCHD clips?

    Since I got my AVCHD camera I've pretty much eaten up all the space on my HD because of the way iMovie converts the files to a format that takes up like 15 times more space.
    I do have some of my lesser-used footage on an external HD, but my Time Machine backup is also starting to get full and I need to find a solution for the clips that I don't want to erase, but don't need to store in the full HD format. Is there any way to compress or otherwise decrease the file size of an imported clip? I always import in the highest quality possible to evaluate, and then choose clips I only want to keep in a lower resolution.
    Thanks in advance for suggestions.

    Your AVCHD files are highly compressed. During import to iMovie they must be expanded to an editable format (AIC) which increases the file size.
    The only way to "compress" these files is an export. An export from iMovie would "render" any effects, transitions or text making these items un-editable in the future. You could export your "raw" footage but this could also lead to problems in future imports.
    Newer external drives could be partitioned for use with iMovie storage and your Time Machine files. You can also probably connect your current external giving you even more storage.

  • Cs5: upgrading from CS2 to CS5 PC to Mac...need help shrinking file sizes

    I am designing wallpapers for cellphones and was given very specific guidelines of various dimensions and file size (based on the different devices), 96 dpi, and PNG format. When working on my PC using Ps CS2, I would drag or copy/paste images from AI (CS I think) into PS. I found that the file size was lower when doing that. I would then do a "save as", and successfully keep to the given specs.
    When I tried this on my Mac, using an image that I previously saved on my pc as a test, the file sizes were always over what they needed to be. I can't seem to figure out what the difference could be. I couldn't do a "save for web" because the dpi would come back as 72 when the file is opened. I tried that once and I was told to re-save the images again...and each image is saved over 100 times.  My PC went down and I've not been able to continue the work since.
    Does anyone have a clue what I can do to fix this? I am totally baffled at this point. Any ideas would be great. Thanks.

    I'm on PC/Windows 7. I had enough issues getting CS2 installed on Windows 7, but it can be done. I just wanted some assurance that Dreamweaver installation doesn't remove GoLive. Thanks!

  • Adjusting quality of JPG to decrease file size?

    I see there is a way to resize images with the crop tool, however, is there also a way to adjust the quality of a .jpg like you can in Photoshop to reduce the file size even more?
    Thanks.

    As Terenced mentioned you us the File->Export->File Export menu option where you can change the pixel dimensions as well as the jpg compression (quality) for the new file.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Decreasing file size with QT?

    I was tasked with recording a webinar for work, which I did using Screenium (it can't record audio from GoToMeeting) and WireTap. In Screenium I recorded the video using AIC (there are all of the other QT video choices as well), and in WireTap I used AAC Medium quality). I then synchronized and merged the audio and video together in iMovie, and then Exported as an AIC video. This produced a whooping 9.21GB file! Ouch, especially considering the video from Screenium was only 5.25GB for an hours recording.
    Anyway, I'm certainly no video expert, and barely know what I'm doing. I'd like to decrease the video file size, and keep as much quality as I can. I've tried using h.264 with some other video stuff that I've done in the past, and I don't like it. I see lots of artifacts and noise in the video, as well as the color being off, and generally getting a flat looking video compared to the original. Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    This produced a whooping 9.21GB file! Ouch, especially considering the video from Screenium was only 5.25GB for an hours recording.
    AIC is primarily used as an editing codec--not for final file distribution. Use a more efficient codec or one which allows you to control the data rate.

    In general, H.264 is the most efficient, most scalable option. The fact that you mention artifacts and noise suggests you may be using too low a data rate target for the particular source content. You could try increasing the video data rate and see if this clears up the export problems. Alternatively, you could try either MJPEG or Photo JPEG video export options using the "Quality" slider to adjust the relative video data rate/file size.

  • Need help reducing file size.

    We're using Acrobat 8 Standard and are able to reduce an 8 MB file down to 7 MB but a fellow employee with Acrobat 9 Pro was able to reduce the size of the same file to 1.8 MB. We're doing the same function (Reduce File Size) in both apps so we're not sure why there's such a big difference in finished file sizes between the two programs. Is there a setting in Acrobat 8 Stnd that we're missing to be able to drop the file size much closer to what Acrobat 9 Pro can achieve?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    There are a lot of factors that can affect file size. PDF Optimize allows you more control over those options that does the Reduce File Size. With PDF Optimize, you can do an audit of the PDF to see what is taking up a lot of the size. Things that can affect the size include:
    1. Image resolution (PDF Optimize can reduce)
    2. Embedded fonts (subset fonts recommended to reduce size - leaving the fonts out is not a good idea)
    - Other?
    That may help some. When you compare how different machines or versions of Acrobat do the file reduction, you need to simply review all of the options that are being used. Sometimes, you can get a reduction by reprinting to a new PDF, but that is not a perfect process either.

  • Any more configureation needed for RFC -File Syncronous scenario?

    HI Experts,
    I am working on File to RFC syncronous scenario.
    I imported RFC which has Mess, Res and Excep
    I have ED which has only Mess
    Now I need to send file using File Adaptor to ECC using RFC and ECC has to send resp back to File using File Adaptor.
    I created:
    MI
    MI_File_Meg_os (File Message Output Syncronous) ---> Mess ED
    > MT_Res -
    > DT_Res
    MI_RFC_Meg_is (Input RFC Message ) ---> Mess
    > Resp
    I cretaed MM for (Message and Response), IM (mapped for both mess and respose)  and activated.
    I created 3 Communicaiton Channel (File_Sender, File_Receiver and RFC_Receiver), Rec Determination, Sender Aggrement and Receiver Aggrement.
    Do I need to create any more objects or configure ?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Rajeev

    You need RFC CC and Filereceiver CC too
    Sender Agreement
    Do I need to make sender CC for RFC or File receiver CC?
    both
    Interface determination,
    for mapping File request to RFC and RFC response to File
    Sender or receiver Aggrements
    sender agreements with FileSender CC and receiver agreement for File receiver CC
    For getting back Ack from ECC?
    RFC is synchronous and can return response
    goto wiki and check for pi there is exact scenario

  • Decreasing file size on .wmv files

    I have a Premiere Pro project that consists of an audio file that is 8 MB and about 12 JPEGs which total around 5 MB. When I export to a .wmv, using the Windows Media format and the NTSC Source to Download 512kbps preset, the file size ends up being about 100 MB.
    I created files in Elements that had the same size of content, where the wmv file was less than half the size the I'm getting out of Premiere Pro. I'm guessing it's just my lack of understanding of the software?
    What I need to do is create a video that is usable by a large audience (which is why I chose wmv, but I'm not set on that format) and is smaller than I'm currently creating (preferably around 50 MBs).
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you,
    Darren

    Stanley - thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately, I don't know exactly how to answer the question. Maybe if I give a more detailed account of my project, it will help.
    I recorded an MP3 via a microphone through Audacity. I made the Audacity project, then chose "Export as MP3".
    I then took a Powerpoint I had previously created, and did a "Save as" and chose JPEG as the file type. This saved each slide as a JPEG (about 12 total slides).
    I first imported the audio file into Premiere and then imported the 12 slides.
    As I listened to the audio, I lined up the length of each powerpoint slide with the audio portion pertaining to it. At the end, I had the combined visuals lasting the length of the audio, with each slide showing as long was appropriate.
    Then in Premiere, I clicked on the Timeline window, then selected File>Export>Media...
    In the Export Settings window, I have the following setting (on the right half of the window):
    Format: Windows Media
    Preset: NTSC Source to Download 512kbps
    Comments: NTSC Source to Download 512kbps
    And then of course the Output name, and the boxes for Export video and export audio are checked.
    At the bottom of the Export Settings Window, it says Estimated File Size: 246 MB.
    The file ends up being about 100MB.
    I hope that helps, and that it isn't too much information. Again, thanks for the quick response.

  • Any way to limit DV captured file size?

    Hello all -
    When capturing from a DV camcorder when the source is not timecoded, is there a way to cap the max file size? Ideally I'd like to set a size limit, eg. 650mb and then have the files split into project 01.avi, project 02.avi, etc.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    So I gather the answer is No, Premiere Elements cannot split AVI files when capturing from DV camcorders, except by timecode?
    I realize there are other packages I can pay for that support the feature but I expect Premiere Elements (at least by v8) to have that capability.
    In any event, Easy Video Splitter (doeasier.org) is now free and does the job well.

  • Any way to export to specified file size?

    Is there any way to export images so they are sized to fit within certain dimensions AND a specified file size? Similar to 'image processor' in Bridge/CS3 or the older Doc Brown's image processor.
    Example: (processing images for web use)
    I want to export a batch of RAW files to jpg,
    Size them to fit within 800px x 800px,
    And have them be a consistent file size of around 100kb
    (This has been possible to do in Adobe Bridge for years)
    I know I can edit Aperture's export preferences and adjust the image quality slider but final images have a range of file sizes and I find myself having to re-export some images over again after adjusting image quality to reach the desired size. This is a trial and error process each time.
    Another workaround is to export the images as .tif files, then open in Adobe Bridge and process into jpg's using 'image processor' to reach the desired size. But that effectively negates the use of Aperture in the first place for batch processing files for size. In this case, it'd be more efficient to take Aperture out of my workflow completely and do everything in Adobe Bridge.
    Has anyone found a plug-in or less tedious workaround for this?
    Cheers,
    J

    James, you said "my website provider places an upper limit on file size and dimensions per image."
    Aperture does take care of half of that, the pixel dimensions. If it was me, I would test out a few images at various levels of jpg quality (5, 6, 7 etc.) and see where both the file size ends up and how the quality looks. Then, just go with one your favorite combinations. Images with more detail will be larger and images with less will be smaller. In the long run, it should even out. If you had the ability to request a certain size, some of your images may look good and others bad. Personally, I would be more concerned with quality than a few k of pixels.

  • Need Help with file size

    How do you reduce pdf size file when it's save? I can have a excel spreadsheet that is 67KB and when I save it as pdf file increases to 289KB?

    I agree that the file size is not a big issue at 289kB. However, a lot of the size depends on the content and the job settings that have been used. It is a good practice in PDFs to embed the fonts and that may be what is causing the size increased in your PDF. You can use PDF Optimize (under the Save As menu in AAX) to access the audit function and find out what is causing the size issue. As mentioned, for the file at hand it is not much of an issue, but may be for future projects.

  • Want to decrease file size

    My pictures might be 400-500 KB and I want to shrink them to only 20-50 KB. I use them as images only 1.5 inches square in documents. Is there an easy way to do this- so I can drag an drop to a word doc.

    Usually you can resize the pic in Word. Otherwise: select the pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and in the resulting dialogue you have the option to change the dimensions and file size.

  • Noob Needs Help with File Size

    I created a simple form with no graphics, fonts are not embedded, and I selected the file to be filled out, printed, then mailed. The file size is 21MB. The form is to be emailed so it must be much smaller in size. Once received, the user will fill it out electronicly, print the form, then mail it back to me regular postal mail. Why is the file size so large and how can I make it smaller? Thanks in advance.
    Kevin

    OK. Here's what I did:
    1. At the welcome screen I selected "New Form" and then "New Blank Form"
    2. For the page size I left it at "Default" which is 8.5 x 11.
    3. For Return Method I selected "Fill then Print".
    4. At the last screen I just clicked "OK".
    5. Then I built the form. I put in (9) Text boxes, (4) Text Fields that look like Sunken Boxes, (5) Numeric Fields that look like Sunken Boxes, and (3) Check Boxes that look like Sunken Boxes.
    6. I then saved the file as a Static PDF Form File.
    7. The file size is 22.5 MB.
    That was my second attempt. The first attempt I had the fonts embedded and I had a Logo on the form. The file size for that one was 27.3 MB.
    Thanks for the help.
