Can't Publish Due to File Size

I'm using Captivate 4. I need to create a video demonstration using my iPad. I'm currently utilizing a screen sharing app to mirror my iPad screen on my laptop. Using this, I created a 6 minute demonstration with audio and text boxes. The file was broken into 21 slides and is huge! About 320,000 KB. What can I do to size this recroding down so that I can publish it? I've tried recording using the full motion option at 16 bit and lower resolution. Is there anything else I should be doing? I need to create about 8 videos all ranging from 5-13 minutes in length.

My initial large recording was a total of 21 slides at 364,145.6KB with a resolution of 894 x 671. I'm using a PC with Microsoft Windows XP. The laptop has 1.18 GHz and 1.96 GB of RAM. The initial error messsage reads:
"Your computer does not have sufficient memory resources to perform this operation. Do the following:
- Check one or more options in the Extrenalize Resources list, and re-publish
- Close otther applications open on your computer. You might have to close and reopen Adobe Captiavate."
I had no other applications open at the time. The initial recording was recorded at 32 bit. So I figured perhaps changing the Full Motion Recording settings to 16 bit with a smaller SWF size would help. Any other suggestions?

How can I publish an ics file to a remote server from my calendar server?

I am running Lion Server and have Calendar Service up and running. I have an account with a couple of calendars, one of which I'd like to publish to a remote server, as an .ics file.
From an iCal client it is possible to publish local calendars, but not remote calendars (for which the only option seems to be to 'Share').
How can I can I publish an ics file to a remote server? Programatically, if necessary.

I have this working now.
curl -s --digest -u username:password -o calendar.ics http://hostname:8008/calendars/users/username/calendar/
generates the .ics file, and a combination of cadaver (from webdav.org) and an expect script upload hourly (via cron) to the remote server:
set timeout 60
spawn /usr/local/bin/cadaver
expect "dav"
send "open https://remotehost/path/\r"
expect "Do you wish to accept the certificate? (y/n)"
send "y\r"

How can i find out the file size of a Keynote on an iPad please?

How can i find out the file size of a Keynote on an iPad please?

I think a rule of thumb is what you're looking for.
Full bandwidth CD audio (AIFF): about 10 MB/min
Apple Lossless: about 5 MB/min
MP3 @ 256k: about 2 MB/min
MP3 @ 128k: about 1 MB/min
Of course the MP3 file size is exactly linear with bit rate.
As for sound quality:
Apple Lossless is, as the name says, lossless.
MP3 @128k: fine for listening in the car or the kitchen etc. If you have an audiophile sound system, this will remind you why you spent all that money.
MP3 @256K: barely distinguishable from CD on very good equipment.
MP3 @320K: probably not distinguishable from CD.
I presume that since you're talking about importing classical CDs these are ones you own. Remember you can always do it again if you need higher fidelity or if better technology comes out. I import most CDs at 128k, since most of my MP3 listening is in the car, or walking, or as background. And I can always play the CD if I want to sit and listen.
The logic for purchased music is totally different -- you probably won't get to upgrade that without buying it some different way. So buying 128k MP3s (or AACs) is something you'll probably regret later. Buying 256k MP3s is a lot less problematic.

Can i have a smaller file size for songs that i put on iphone vs mac

i have ripped a lot of my cds to itunes on my MBA. i used the aac high quality setting.
is there a way that i can upload lower quality/smaller size versions of the songs that i will put on my new iphone ?
Q2: once i rip cd into itunes (on my MBA)... is there an easy way I can later decide to save space and re encode them at 128 instead of 256 (for example).
i notice that you cant just willy nilly copy/delete from the itunes media folder because itunes doesnt seem to 'refresh' with the new files.
thx!

1. the ONLY place i see where you can set the sampling rate,etc is under preferences/general/'when a cd is inserted".... am i missing something?
No.
2. when i want to add an existing mp3 file (from outside the apple realm) , i am using itunes "add to library" and browsing to some mp3 file(s) . it doesnt give me a option to convert it to an m4a format... it seems to just add it to the itunes library without changing the mp3 file .... do i have any option here?
You don't need to convert formats and I would not recommend you do so. You will simply lose quality.
To answer your original question...
can i have a smaller file size for songs that i put on iphone vs mac
If you want smaller files on the iPhone, see my post above which converts them when syncing to theiPhone.
If you really want to convert when adding songs to iTunes...
iTunes prefs > General - Import settings as you want.
Hold Option (Mac) or Shift (Windows) and choose File > Create New Version > Convert AAC (or what your settings are in previous step).
This will convert and add the file instead of adding the file then converting and having 2 of the same song in iTunes.

Can you sort layers by file size?

I'm working on a catalog, not my own, that was set up with all the layout done in Photoshop then placed in ID for copy and a few rasters (barcodes, mostly) to be placed in ID. Without getting into a conversation about how this is actually supposed to be accomplished, I have run into a problem.
The .psd is hitting the 2GB limit for file size and can only be saved as a .psb. .psb can not be placed in ID.
I would like to reduce the size of the .psd. Is there a way to figure out where the bloat is? I know that there are some fat smart objects that could be rasterized, but I don't know which ones are the most chubby. Can I sort layers by file size or determine the size of a layer without drilling into every smart object?
Thanks!

I don't know of a way offhand except to export the layers as files and observe the file sizes.
Photoshop Help | Saving images File menu > Scripts > Export Layers to Files.
Maybe even faster would be to save the PSD as a Layered tiff. Tiffs have an upper limit of 4 GB.
"Save as" would allow you to keep the PSD as a backup and InDesign should recognize tiffs.

Does the DPS publishes only for tablets? can I publish my indesign file to html only using DPS?

Does the Digital Publishing Suite publishes only for tablets? can I publish my indesign file to html only using DPS?

DPS will not do what you want and neither with anything else without at
least some work.
HTML out of InDesign is for content only, not layout. There is a new
product out there you can try, however:

How can I make the pdf file size smaller?

How can I make the pdf file size smaller?

Hi vickyb,
Reducing the file size of PDF requires Acrobat (one way is by choosing File > Save As > Reduced Size PDF). If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.
Best,

Captivate 4 can't publish or preview files/sound layers appear black

After re-installing Captivate 4, I was unable to preview or publish files. Additionally, my sound layers appeared as black, empty layers.
I had a difficult time finding a solution, so I wanted to post it here in case somebody else has the same problem.
I was indicating in my searches that I was unable to publish or preview files in C4 and could not find a solution, then I switched the focus of my searches to the audio layers and that's when I found a solution at: http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2009/03/adobe_captivate_4_installation.html
Now, I have to say this for anyone who may not be aware. You should always back up your registry anytime you make changes to it and that changes to the registry can cause problems. Having said that, here is the fix I used:.
Adobe Captivate 4 Installation Issues on Microsoft Windows XP
You can use SubInAcl tool from Microsoft to try fixing the permission issues in the Windows Registry.
Close all instances of Adobe Captivate and do the following steps -
1) Download the SubInAcl tool from Microsoft Download Center and install it.
2) Download this zip file
3) Extract the zip file in a temporary folder. You will get two files - restoreRegPermCP4.bat, restoreCP4regentries.bat
4) Copy the restoreRegPermCP4.bat to the folder which has SubInAcl.exe installed. Typically this would be at C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\.
5) Double click to run the restoreRegPermCP4.bat file.
6) Copy the restoreCP4regentries.bat to the folder in which Captivate 4 is installed. Typically it is at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 4
7) Open command prompt and navigate to that folder.
8) Type restoreCP4regentries.bat and press enter.
9) Make sure that all the messages that popup say "DllRegisterServer in 'some dll name' Succeeded"
This should have fixed the registry issues and things should work fine.
I hope this saves someone hours of searching for a solution.

So glad it helped you! I know what you mean about Adobe.
Take Care!

Exporting to PDF - How Can I Get A Small File Size When Using Lots of Vector Art?

I am trying to create a small PDF file for e-book distribution purposes. My Indesign pages contain a variety of photographs, vector icons and vector maps.
A publisher in Britain who does similar books on a Mac using Creative Suite was able to create a 22-page document very similar to mine (similar icons, graphics, density, etc) that is only 2.84 mb, a small fraction of the file size that I'm getting! I've included a sample page of his below, which is a low-res jpeg, but on the original PDF all of the text and images (except the jpeg cliff background) are super sharp - they look like vectors when you zoom in. I've also included screenshots of his PDF export settings.
I don't know if he's exporting directly out of Indesign, but my best guess is that he is.
My vector-based icons, numbers and maps are bloating my PDFs considerably. When I remove them, the Indesign and exported PDF file sizes drop dramatically. For the life of me, I can't figure out how he got such small PDF files sizes using so much vector art! The PDF graphic compression settings don't seem to include any options for vector art.
My vector art graphics (numbering, icons, maps) are all saved as Illustrator AI files and then placed in Indesign as linked graphics. My best guess as to why I can't achieve smaller PDF files is I'm either doing something wrong with the vector graphics themselves or handling/exporting them improperly out of Indesign.
I am using CS4 for PC and am on a Dell Machine running Windows 7.

Can I find out the file size of tracks before I import a CD?

My husband is an audiophile, we listen to classical music. (Although I indulge in some Beatles and other music on occassion.) Is there a way to find out how large the file sizes for each track will be for importing with Apple Lossless versus AAC, as well as different bit rates, before I import the CD onto the computer? I'd like to know how much disk space a classical CD is going to take up before I commit to using up however much of my hard drive it might take. I appreciate thoughts and ideas on the subject.
Cheers.

I think a rule of thumb is what you're looking for.
Full bandwidth CD audio (AIFF): about 10 MB/min

Cant save PDF as RTF due to file size

Hello,
I have bought the Adobe upgraded product to be able to convert the .PDF to .RTF format or .TXT format and when I log in or open document, I cannot send to acrobat, I cannot save to acrobat, and I cannot convert it to RTF either. It tells me the file is more than 100MB. Is there an alternate way to convert this file to RTF?

Actually you are asking in the wrong user forum. Here you have "Adobe Reader"
There is a dedicated user forum for the Acrobat.com online subscription services at:
https://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobatdotcom
As you speak of a 100 MB file size limit it is clear that you are not using the desktop application "Acrobat".
The 100 MB file size limit is specific to the online subscription services.
When purchased and installed the desktop application "Acrobat" can split large PDFs to several smaller PDFs.
However, Acrobat does not have a file size limit. Consequently, with the PDF open in Acrobat XI a File - Save As Other with a selection of RTF.
Be well...

Can you sort images by file size?

Is there any way to sort pictures by file size in iPhoto '08? I couldn't figure it out, but maybe I'm just an idiot. Thanks in advance for your help.

No - there is no way to sort by size
the only current sort options in iPhoto are under view menu ==> sort photo ==> by date, by keyword, by rating, by title, manually (only works in Photos display mode with event titles off as of now)
Suggestions for new features o iPhoto menu ==> Provide iPhoto Feedback
You can see the sizes by right clicking on the iPhoto library in the Pictures folder and selecting show package contents -- you should not modify the contents - this might cause iPhoto to get confused and cause problems uncluding losing photos (or at least not being able to see them in iPhoto)

Can't publish or "put" files to remote server

Dear All,
I can't publish my website to the remote server, even though everything seems to be working properly with connection to the remote server. No error messages and the successful connection message appears. I have emptied out the Safari cache but still do not see the updates appearing on the website. I'm working with Dreamweaver CS5.5 on a Mac Pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Very frustrating.

How can I find the correct file size of a layered Photoshop document?

I need to send layered PSD files by email (Mac's Mail), and I don't use services like Dropbox. My ISP allows a maximum file size of 5 MB. I reduce the file size by reducing it to 8 MB/channel, 150 ppi and reducing the maximum size dimension to 10 inches. I'm using CS6 on a Mac.
If I check the file size using Get Info, I get 9.4 MB.
If the file is nested in a folder, the size is likewise, 9.4MB.
If I attach the file to an email, I notice at the bottom left the file size is given as 12.0 MB.
If I send the PSD layered file to myself, I find it uploads and dowloads quickly. On the email itself, it says, "1 attachment, 923 MB".
On my Mac "MAIL" folder, it says the the file is 1.2 MB.
If I calculate the file size mathematically, I get a size of approximately 4.3 MB. That is not counting the individual layers or the mask stored in Channels, for which I don't know the calculation.
This is a total of 6 measurements of the file size of my attachment, 5 of which differ.
Is one of these correct?

I'd say 9.4 mb is correct. Email attachments always put on a lot of weight, so 12 mb as an attachment is probably right too.
Why don't you use a free service like Filemail? It's very easy to use, and you dont't have to sign up to use it.
