Can you explain a huge difference between a manual pattern and a swatch pattern?

I have two main question.
one is a difference between a manual pettern (copy and paste object multiple times) and a swatch pattern.
and another one is the reason why a swatch pattern is much smaller file size then the other.
here is the detail.
at work,
somebody created the pattern white background and almost 120 lions in the box.
Literally, copy and past the object repeadily till fill the box.
It was eps format and 72mbs.
So I created a pattern in swatch (ofcourse properly), and a draw a big box and filled with pattern.
and It was only under 2 mbs Al format.
and I was importing the my Al file to indesign and my senior designer said
I was wasting my time for nothing.
she said even though it's under 2mb still all the anchor points are there and takes long time to load the file.
and last time the eps file created error. But mine was swatch pattern in AI so I totally don't understand.
What she suggested was, create a tif file with eps file so it doesn't creat any error.
Can Anybody explain this ?

The difference is instances just like with symbols.
If objects are manually copied and placed then each and every anchor, path, and shape is tracked by the file. Every single one of them.
If a pattern swatch is made, the original art is referenced once then called as often as needed. Each anchor, path, and shape is not stored. One set of data regarding the anchors, paths, and shapes is stored then the app simply tracks where copies are located.
Using pattern swatches (and symbols) will greatly increase performance when redrawing and outputting, not to mention editing and file size (if that's a consideration).

    Sorry can you explain what is difference between cellular and cellular (MM)

    The MM or Millenium Media according to what I can find, refers to the CDMA variation of the Cellular iPad for Verizon Networks.
    The non MM version is for GSM carriers like AT&T.

    I want to create an app.  Can you tell me the difference between iOS developer program and the mac developer program?
    Is the difference the device you're creating your app on, or for?

    iOS Developer Program is only for those who wish to develop iDevice apps. Mac program is for those only developing Mac applications. If you wish to do both, then you need to enroll in both programs.

    hi
    good
    Direct input method                     Batch Input Method
    1) We cannot send the fields   | 1) We can send fields as per

    2) validations are done based

    on applications.
       modules
    Batch Input Session:
    - It is a sequence of transactions, which is generated when user run a particular program. 
    - It contains the accounting documents that are to be created. The SAP system stores these transactions until you decide to process them online. 
    - It does not update transaction figures until the session has been processed.  Using this technique, you can transfer large amounts of data to the SAP system in a short time.
    Three processing modes of executing Batch Input Session :-
    (1) Run Visibly : You can correct faulty transactions online & work step-by-step through  the transactions not yet executed. 
    (2) Display Errors only : You can correct faulty transactions online.   Transactions not yet executed, but without error, run in the background.
    (3) Run in Background : Recommended by SAP.

  • Can Anybody explain me the difference between  a Bapi and a webservice?

    Can Anybody explain me the difference between  a Bapi and a webservice?

    Hi Anil,
    <b>BAPI</b>
    BAPI is a library of functions that are released to the public
    as an interface into an existing SAP system from an external
    system.A BAPI function is a function module that
    can be called remotely using the RFC technology
    BAPI are RFC enabled function modules. the difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects. You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository) which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA.
    In this case you only specify the business object and its method from external system in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types. These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types. Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs. Whenever possible, a standardized BAPI must be used in preference to an individual BAPI. It is not possible to connect SAP to Non-SAP systems to retrieve data using RFC alone. RFC can acces the SAP from outside only through BAPI and same is for vice versa access.
    <b>Webservice</b>
    In simpler terms, WebService is an application on the Web/Internet. Wheneever Service is requested by the user, it provides the service (i.e Request/Response)
    A web service is a collection of protocols and standards used for exchanging data between applications or systems
    In SAP world, we can expose an application into the Webservice. For e.g We can expose ABAP programs into Webservice.
    XI uses SOAP adapter to communicate with webservices see below...why only soap adpater???
    -> Some remote clients or Web services providers are only able to communicate by means of SOAP messages
    ->SOAP adapter enables you to exchange SOAP message between remote clients and Web Service Servers and the Integration Server.
    -> The SOAP Adapter provides a runtime environment that includes various SOAP components for the processing of SOAP message.
    -> You use the SOAP adapter to connect such systems to the Integration Server directly
    -> The SOAP adapter uses a helper class to instantiate and control these SOAP components
    ->The SOAP adapter receives a msg from the remote client or Web service provider, converts the SOAP protocol into XI msg protocol and then sends the msg to the Integration Server to be processed further.
    Basically  RFCs BAPI are all SAP oriented, Webservices are language / environement independent. So, all one has to do is publish a Webservice and any external system by providing the data in the correct format, can get the approopriate response back.

  • Can anyone explain the main differences between CRM 2007 and CRM 7?.

    Can anyone explain the main differences between CRM 2007 and CRM 7?.
    Does CRM 2007 use the WebUI?.
    Jason

    My fault for not putting my question forward correctly.
    I have worked with CRM 7 a few times now, but my experience has jumped me from CRM 5 straight to CRM 7, having never touched CRM 2007.
    I now have an opening to work on CRM 2007 so I was intrigued to know what it physically looked like. I assume it does not use the WebUI interface?.

  • Can you tell me some differences between R2 and R3 systems?

    Hi,
    Can you tell me some differences between R2 and R3 systems?
    I guess R2 is used only for mainframe systems some time back. But i dont know why we prefered R3 over R2.
    Please clarify this!
    Thanks,
    Venkatesh.R.

    SAP R/3 is
    Client server
    3 tier
    Presentation
    Application
    Database
    Relatively hardware and database independent
    ABAP/4 applications runs on application servers.
    Dispatcher, shared memory, gateway, work processes are major components of an application server.
    SAP R/3 offers
    Comprehensive suite of integrated applications meeting the needs of most business
    Best practice process design
    Ability to configure to
    Industry sector
    Unique business requirements
    In a R/2  System - it is a 2 Tier System based on Mainframe Systems with Intelligent terminals
    R/3 is based 3 tier Client Server architechture and supports the R/2 system as well.
    R/3 Middleware -
    Client server
    Uses underlying relational databases
    Oracle
    SQL server
    Ingress
    Sybase
    Its graphical user interface
    Sap GUI
    hence R/3 is preffered over R/2 systems because they support Client Server Architecture which is easily configurable,scalable and can integrate with ERP systems and integrate with SOA or Web based Apps.

  • Can Anybody explain me the difference between  a A2X and a A2A Service?

    Can Anybody explain me the difference between  a A2X and a A2A Service

    I dont think A2X refers to b2b Scenario as there is a big difference between B2B and A2A, this is quite a debatable arena. In the present case A2X can be where the application under consideration is communicating with an unknown third party application of which the only details we have are the field data to be sent/recieved etc. Its used more to describe a third party app, so its to be considered as an x-App. can be any j2ee app or .net app, the X here is used as a variable to denote the unknown till it becomes known..in which case the documents start referring to it as A2A.....
    Hope that helps

  • Can anyone tell me the difference between the rss.xml and podcast.xml?

    I have the Podcast maker program. Can anyone tell me the difference between the rss.xml and podcast.xml? How do they differ? What do I use each of them for? Where should I put them in my directory?

    Podcast Maker sets up your podcast from media files you enter into it; you enter the summary and description. It then publishes to your iDisk or other server, and in the process created the podcast.xml file which you can submit to iTunes.
    It doesn't create an rss.xml file: it sounds as if you are also creating the podcast in iWeb, which does. This has the advantage of creating a web page; it will also create the rss.xml file.
    Both are valid - of course if there are any differences between the version in Podcast Maker and the version in iWeb then the xml files will be different. But basically you seem to be creating two versions of the same podcast - if you are making it in iWeb then the Podcast maker version is really redundant (though I prefer it for podcast creation). If you want to go on using both I should use the podcast.xml feed it creates.

    Can someone tell me the difference between model numbers MC774ll/a and a MC 95811/a?

    This is not a difference between your Macbook Pro, but the keyboard key cap type (the small plastic squares for each on your keyboard) I think it has to do with what is printed on the modifier keys, but the difference is minor and the both seem to be compatible with the same models based on the links you posted.

  • Is there a huge difference between the 2.0GHz and 2.2GHz MBP's?

    I am wondering if there is a really big difference between the two models?  The 2.0GHz model seems fine for doing college homework, papers, power point, photo editing, video editing, web surfing, not a heavy gamer, I make podcasts and YouTube videos.  This is what I mainly do...  Can someone tell me if maybe I might have to get the 2.2GHz?  Thanks!

    Spend the little more money for the 2.2Ghz your graphics potential is awesome and thus future proofs your machine a lot longer than 2.0 which the integrated and the discrete graphics are about the same lousy performance.
    Also your resale value will be much higher and more willing buyers if you should ever need too.
