"Compress images in pdf documents" won't work

I created this workflow:
1. Get selected Finder objects
2. Compress images in pdf documents
3. Copy Finder objects to...
... but it won't work, the images are not compressed. Anyone any suggestions?

To examine this I made three pdf documents from three Pages documents (running compression during export to pdf) each containing one image: one psd, one tiff and one jpg image. Running the workflow on these pdfs, the pdfs containing the psd and the tiff files were compressed but not the pdf containing the jpg image. I then made two pdf documents exported from Indesign containing a tiff file; one pdf export compressing and downsampling the tiff image and one with no downsampling and compression. Running the workflow on these two pdfs did not further compress the already compressed pdf, but did compress the pdf containing the uncompressed image. To further optimize pdf documents already compressed on export from Indesign one has to use Acrobat, which, of course, is the most efficient and flexible tool for optimizing pdf documents.

  • TIFF images in PDF documents

    Just looking for a short answer, no technical details needed: Is it possible to store TIFF images in PDF documents without losing information?
    Thank you in advance,
    k.

    >On my own computer it seems I only have options to save it as jpg or zip internally.
    That's correct. The PDF specification supports many more forms of
    compression. Than this.
    > Can't find any options to save it as TIFF internally.
    That's correct. A PDF image is stored as a collection of pixels NOT as
    an embedded graphic format.
    The collection of pixels may be compressed according to one of many
    compression schemes. There is JPEG (internally called DCTDecode) and
    ZIP (internally called FlateDecode). FlateDecode is completely
    lossless, so if what you are concerned about is loss of picture
    quality, this is the one to use.
    A ZIP compressed PDF is typically going to be about the same size as
    the corresponding ZIP compressed TIFF.

  • PDF Document is not working

    Hi,
    We are migrated from xMII 12.0 to MII 14.0 SP04 . We generate PDF document. A html page calls a exacute query which calls a transaction.
    In the transaction, a PDF Document object, PDF Bar Code object, Delete File object and Image Saver. Delete File Object will delete existing file in WEB://ABC/PDF folder and image saver will save the new PDF file in WEB://ABC/PDF folder. HTML page popup a window which will display the save PDF file. Another transaction which find the name the file in the WEB://ABC/PDF and pass this information to Delete File object.
    In 12.0 it is working fine and in 14.0 implemeted new PDFActions.zip file as per note 1325997. Now for a user, I assigned SAP_MII_Developer PDFis generating. But other user with the same role as the previous user, the PDF page is not generating. Log error shows, java.io.FileNotFoundException.
    The roles of the user are assigned to both the transaction.
    Please help to resolve the issue.
    Thanks,

    Hi Raman,
    Just give a try to below mentioned thing:
    I was trying file drop functionality in MII 14.0 and I could not make it work until I cleared Default File Path property under System Properties screen.
    It comes with ‘MII’ by default on it representing MII web folder. Once I left it blank my file drop on MII box and on the network started working.
    Just something that has changed on MII 14.0

    Thanks

    hi guillermo,
    than put your image in the dest-->images folder and use the following coding:
    public static String getImageUrl(IPortalComponentRequest request, String imageName) {
      StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer(1024);
      HttpServletRequest httpRequest = request.getServletRequest();
      String protocoll = (httpRequest.isSecure())? "https" : "http";
      buffer.append(protocoll)
        .append("://")
        .append(httpRequest.getServerName())
        .append(httpRequest.getServerPort())
        .append(request.getWebResourcePath())
        .append("/images/")
        .append(imageName);
      return buffer.toString();

  • PDF documents won't open in browser page

    I've been having trouble with Safari lately. This is my main browser, and whenever I try to open any PDF documents, I get an error message that goes something like "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found." Whenever I have to see a PDF document, I have to open another browser (IE 9) and paste the URL in order to view the document. I...think that this error has been showing up ever since I updated Adobe Reader... =/
    Is there any way that I can fix this?
    * Currently have Safari 5.0.2

    think that this error has been showing up ever since I updated Adobe Reader
    By way of experiment, if you uninstall and reinstall your Adobe Reader, does Safari still display the same behavior?
    (Wondering here if your nppdf32.dll, which controls the Adobe PDF plugin, might be slightly damaged. I think the relevant copy of the file that Safari uses lives in the Reader files. If so, a reinstall of Reader may help.)

  • PDF Document Won't Appear in Share Folder

    When attempting to save the document to a network share folder of her choosing, the PDF document is not in the folder. User is saving the pdf from a loan system. To trouble shoot I saved a txtx file and it did appear in the shared folder - any thoughts?

    If safari is showing a download (is that what you mean by "safari downloads box"?) then it is (was) a download in progress and has not completed to make the final finished download.

  • PDF Documents Won't Download

    When I click on a PDF document, the web site opens up a new tab and puts the PDF in the new tab. From there, I can scroll the PDF and zoom in and out of the PDF.
    However, Download or View in Preview icons (located bottom center of the page) nothing happens. The file does not download, nor will it open in preview.
    I checked the Internet Plug-ins folder and did see AdobePDF reader was installed, so I uninstalled those. But I still have the problem.
    Any suggestions to fix this issue is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Intra-pdf-document links not working

    Hello
    I developed a pdf document in Acrobat 9 Pro Extended with links from a contents page to the subject pages in the publication.  I placed command 'buttons' on these pages to return to the Contents page.  Offline, these are prsent when viewed using Reader 9. Uploaded to my website, the command 'buttons' simply are not there - either visible or invisible, they have just gone.
    Can you please tell me what went wrong and how do I fix it?
    David Guthrie

    You need to confirm what PDF viewer is being used when viewing the documents online Firefox recently added a built-in viewer and it doesn't support forms at all, and buttons are a type of form field.

  • Everytime i open a pdf document Adobe stops work by message not responding.

    Hallo, I am having problems with Adobe on my computer. Every PDF document I open freezes and a not responding message displays. please assist.

    If Adobe Reader stops responding and after a while starts responding again, you might be experiencing the same issues we were. For details check  Adobe Reader 11.0.09 stops responding for 30 seconds after start
    In short, you will either have allow Adobe Reader to access online services, or set one or more feature lockdown parameters (for the latter, check out the interesting recommendations put out by the NSA, https://www.google.se/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCAQFjA A&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nsa.go…

  • 10.4.7--PDF links won't work

    Since installing the 10.4.7 update, links to PDF files won't open. The url appears in the appropriate place, but the page stays blank.
    Ideas, please?

    Yes to both; I installed the Adobe update in the hope that this would solve the problem, but to no avail.
    The PDFs download normally with Firefox, BTW. But, unlike many, I greatly prefer Safari, so I'm anxious for this to be fixed. Thanks for your replies.

  • How can I insert an Image into PDF document programmatically?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Question:  Working MP3 Audio Embedded in PDF but won't work in IBooks

    I am working with a large PDF file that is mostly scans of old letters.  I also have three audio MP3 files currently embedded and working well on my PC but the audio files do not work when I bring the PDF into ITunes as an IBook.  Everything else works perfectly.   From what I've read I believe I must be using the wrong file format to be compatible with my PC and IBook.   I have tried M4a but no luck.  Any suggestions?  I'm working with Adobe Acrobat Pro and Media Encoder most recent versions.
