Convert to fewer KBs

Saving a word doc as a PDF in Adobe Reader doesn't cut the # of KBs much. How can I make it smaller?

You can ONLY reduce PDF size with Acrobat Professional.
You can download it at the link, but it's only a 30 day trial. If you want to use it after that, you'll need to purchase a license from Adobe.
If the doc you're saving is pure text (no images) you will not see much of a reduction in size no matter what, because there simply isn't much more to reduce in a text only document.

  • CS5.5 always crashes after converting a few files

    Adobe Media Encoder will always crash after converting a few files, or even before starting to convert.
    I'm on a Windows 7 professional  SP1 (64bit), Intel Xeon w3550 3.07Ghz with an NVidia Quadro FX 3800.
    The encoding profile is H264, multiplexing mp4, encoder: Video MainConcept H.264, tv standard: pal, bitrate encoding: cbr, key frames distance 72.
    I'm using watch folders, since I have a backup of hundreds of video files stored in folders which have to be restored in the same folders once converted.
    This is the crash entry in the event viewer (had to translate it, since it's in italian):

  • Time Machine/ very slow now on few KBs... Backup finishing took ages

    I've set up Time Capsule two days ago (very timeconsuming with weirdnesses (several times I had to unplug TC and plug in again so that it got recongnized by AirPort and configured). Nevertheless it worked after all (I really don't like it when I don't know why it suddenly worked and why not earlier)...
    The first backup of 210 GB took two days (15 and 14 hours, which is roughly 7GB/hour)but was not finished completely (message 'Backup abschliessen/finishing' stayed there for ages,until I switched off my Mac)
    Now on the third day a backup of 441 KBs is shown in Progress bar and I am not sure if this the little bit left from yesterday or the new backup of files changed yesterday (I did not do real work on it yesterday so it might be really less)
    Anyway, the speed is crawling ... 30KB in 20 minutes...
    How does this come? Are those special files?
    Has anybody experienced this harsh decrease in speed as well?
    Shall I stop and start again?

    further observation:
    after those 441 KB (which took more than an hour to back up) another 420 MB were done in few minutes only.
    now that the hourly backup takes place again, I get shown those 441 KB once again which backups slowly as a snail.
    what could be so special about these - assumable system's files (as it needs a backup after an hour and I have not changed anything that in the last two hours that could have exactly that same size of 441KB and contains 49.035 objects...) - that it takes them so long to backup?
    it would be nice if the progress bar showed what files it is currently updating (or at least in the backup volumen's folder this could be shown in the 'modified dates' column)

  • Mpeg-2 converter only converts a few seconds

    I purchased the mpeg-2 converter. It converts my vob files but just a few seconds worth. It can create a new file but it's very small - the vob file is one gig but the resulting converted file is just 40 mb or so. Also - no sound.
    What's up?
    Thanks

    How can fix or avoid?
    "Command-F"
    It is always a good idea to "fix" MPEG-2 time code breaks even if they aren't "caught" during the load. I converted 65 TV shows over the last few weeks and everything was going so well I stopped "fixing" them on show 66 thru 87. Wouldn't you know it, every one of the last 22 had a time code break at the beginning that was not caught the the loading that caused audio and video to be "out of sync" on one side of the break and "in sync" on the other. Fixed the time codes, re-converted them and every one of them worked correctly. Seems like the "hurrier" I go, the "behinder" I get.

  • PR to PO conversion error - Partial line items not getting converted

    Hi All,
    Automatic PR to PO conversion ( ME59N ) is not happening for few line items.
    For the same Article,site, vendor combinations,its getting converted on few days and on few days its not.
    No changes were made to the any.
    1. Source List is created for the Article & Vendor combination. Validity is fine. Fixed vendor option is checked.
    2. Info record is maintained.
    3. Auto PO option is checked in Vendor Master
    4. No release Strategy
    Will the Purchase Group have any impact in the conversion?
    Kindly share your views.
    Thanks in adance.
    Regards,
    Bhaskar

    It's going to be a data selection problem.  If it was a problem with conversion you would see something recorded in the log (assuming you have the log parameter set to show all messages).
    Make sure the Auto PO flags are set in the correct purchasing org and site.  Does your requisition have a purcahsing org?
    What selection critera do you have set in ME59N?  You mention that that the problem only occurs on certain days so it could be related to the release date.
    The only other thing I could suggest is authorisation checks.  Are you approved for the correct activity types (the activity for ME59N is not create) , plants, purchasing groups etc.
    Also keep in mind everything I have said may not be relevant to the IS-Retail solution you are using.  I can't be certain if there are any differences in this area when you are running that solution.  It might be worth asking the question in that forum http://scn.sap.com/community/retail

  • Converting Word (97-2003) docs with tables

    I have tried converting a few Word docs with tables using Acrobat.com. There is one small image in the upper right corner that in the converted doc stays in the same place so I know that is not the issue. What happens is that the converted document takes a nicely formatted document with tables and nested tables and turns it into a 4 page document and places all of the information in a larger table in the first column and looks nothing like the original with the exception of the header.
    I figured out that if I save the file to ODT that only the font gets changed (but this can be fix on my end by using a supported font). However, the person responsible for converting documents in the future after me neither has Acrobat pro or a way to save files in ODT format (they refuse to upgrade to Word 2007 for some reason so no ODT or Convert the PDF/XPS plug-in for them) so Acrobat.com is a sollution I was looking into to keep productivity going.
    If needed, I can send the original documents for anyone who would like to troubleshoot them and give feedback on what I could try so that they will work on Acrobat.com in ODT format.

    Thank you for your post. Would you please send along some sample files to us? Please reference this forum post, and I'll pass the files along to our QA folks for testing. Hopefully we'll be able to resolve the issue shortly! One more thought - you might try either creating your original document in Buzzword, then converting to PDF OR importing the word file to Buzzword, making any edits, and then converting to PDF. Could help. Let us know!

  • How Do I Convert LV7.1 Datalog Files to LV8 Format?

    I have several LabVIEW 7.1 datalog files that generate Error 71 (File data type conflict) when I try to open them in LabVIEW 8 using the new Open/Create/Replace Datalog vi with my original typedef constants wired to the record type terminal.  Likewise, my original LV7.1 code recompiled in LV8 often generates error 116 (unflatten or byte stream read operation failed due to corrupt, unexpected, or truncated data) or error 4 (end of file encountered) when randomly accessing records in the LV7 datalog files, presumably due to changes made to the datalog file structure in LV8.  I recall one time when a dialog box popped up asking if I would like to convert the file to LV8 format.  Since this was a file currently in use on the server by LV7.1 clients, I had to reply no.  With copies of the datalog files now on my hard drive ready for conversion, I haven't seen the conversion dialog box pop up again.
    How do I convert the LV7.1 datalog files to LV8 format?
    Thanks,
    Larry

    Good afternoon Larry,
    Thanks for posting! 
    The Datalog file support in LabVIEW has changed, but the underlying
    principles of the technology remains the same. 
    Converting to the new format should just involve converting a few VIs to the new Datalog-specific versions.  As you can see, the new Datalog VIs appear in
    their own sub palette in 8 which will help keep things simple.
    Before we address the concerns with the errors, let’s first
    make sure that the code has been properly converted. 
    To convert your VI to the new format:
    1)      Replace
    the Open File VI from LabVIEW 7 with an “Open/Create/Replace Datalog” VI in LabVIEW
    8.  Keep your type constant or control
    wired to the “Datalog Type” input.
    2)      Replace
    any “Write File” VIs in LabVIEW 7 with “Write
    Datalog” and triple check that your data matches the datatype wired into the
    open exactly.
    3)      Replace
    any “Seek” VIs with “Set Datalog Position”.  The input to this VI is the number of records
    to advance (check the mode set by the “from” parameter).
    4)      Replace
    any Reading VIs with the corresponding “Read Datalog” VI.
    I suspect that if you are receiving errors saying that the
    end of file has been encountered it is a result of a bad input to the “set Datalog
    position” VI.  I attached a basic example
    of writing a Datalog file in LabVIEW 8, and reading the results.  The rest of the functions in the new Datalog palette
    should be pretty straightforward. 
    Does this help?  I
    would be more than happy to answer any other questions on this if you need any
    additional clarification, or if this response does not address your question.

  • Help converting a frame of a movie to a jpeg

    Please excuse me for being quite limited in my tech and computer knowledge.  I am wishing to take a frame from a video
    that was mistakenly took instead of a photo with my iPhone. I am wondering if it is possible to convert a few frames of different videos to jpeg photos?
    I would like to use them on a Christmas Photo Card.  I have played with the computer for 5 hours and haven't gotten task accomplished. 
    The devices and applications I am using are:  MacBook Pro OSX Version 10.9.5; iPhone 5; Quick Time Player 10.3; iMovie 10.0.3; and iPhoto 9.5.1.
    If you respond, please do so knowing that I am quite limited in my knowledge of the various applications so watered down explanations are desired!
    Thank you.

    Aside from the method, you need to know that the result would most likely not be what you would expect quality wise; as a movie is a totally different file format, it would have to convert the format from a video to a .jpg and the quality will suffer. Not sure it would be good enough to produce a Christmas card.
    I'd consider opening it in either iMovie or QT Player, playing it to the spot you want, stop it, and then take a screenshot - if your screen/movie display window is large enough, the resulting screenshot should be and the quality should be exactly as you see it. As screenshots are usually saved as a .png, you can simply open it in Preview and then save it as a .jpg.

  • Converting DV to ???.  Which format?  Aspect ratio problems.

    I'm trying to digitize some old VHS videos for archival and I need some guidance. My goal is to keep a digital copy on disk and toss out the tapes with the player. Most of the videos will just be for future viewing, not further editing. I tossed out the TV a few years ago and I hope to never go back, so my primary viewing will likely be on a computer screen. If I do get another TV someday I imagine that I would play these videos with some sort of media center type device rather than a DVD so I may need to keep that in mind when deciding upon the final format.
    I'm using a Canopus ADVC-300 to convert the videos to DV streams. I use iMovie HD 6 to capture the DV input. A few months ago I converted a few tapes with iMovie 08 and learned the hard way about the DV quality problems designed into that product. Anyway, the Canopus feeds my Mac a standard 720x480 DV stream. In iMovie I start a new project and tell it the video format is DV, as opposed to DV Widescreen.
    Up to this point everything is working great.
    My dilemma is how to save the video. I want a format that has good quality and will not likely need any future transcoding to stay usable. Thus far from iMovie HD I've been sharing to Quicktime, selecting Expert Settings, and then playing around with the various options within "Movie to Quicktime Movie".
    On the video settings panel I'm going under the assumption that H.264 is the preferred choice. I set the compressor quality to high, the encoding to multi-pass, and the data rate to automatic.
    The video filter panel has nothing selected for now.
    The video size panel is where I start having questions. Obviously the original video sources have a 4:3 aspect ratio. If I leave the dimensions as "current" (720x480) I get a video that plays at 3:2 in every player I've tried. I guess that seems obvious even though I told iMovie I was working with a 4:3 project. My player of choice is VLC and I can tell it to show the video at 4:3 but it's a pain to do that every time. Quicktime can do that too, and in fact you can save the aspect ratio with the video so that it will display that way each time, but I never really use QT unless I have to.
    Looking at the list of available choices in the dimension drop down box, it looks like there are a couple possible solutions...
    The most obvious choice is "NTSC 720x480 4:3". When this option is used the video is 4:3 by default when played by QT. However, it still shows up as 3:2 in VLC, mplayer, and also when played via Frontrow. I downloaded mplayer just for this comparison and I never watch videos using Frontrow but I suppose I might someday if that media center thing comes into play. Once again I can tell VLC to show it as 4:3 but doing so every time is annoying. There doesn't seem to be any way to adjust the aspect ratio from within Frontrow so that's a non-starter. I'm thinking this might technically be the correct format to use but none of the players other than QT recognize the anamorphic setting (is that right?). When I look at the video properties in QT it shows 720x480(640x480) but the other tools show just 720x480.
    The next obvious choice in the list of dimensions is "640x480 VGA". When I use this option I do in fact get a video that displays correctly in every player. However, I can't help but wonder if I'm losing resolution this way. I think it's just converting the rectangular pixels to square pixels but with the drop in horizontal pixels there must be less information there? Is this a viable format for playing on various devices in the future?
    Should I be experimenting with something other an "Movie to Quicktime Movie" and H.264?
    In all cases I've selected to deinterlace the video. Some might say that VHS is of such poor quality to begin with that using such high settings is a waste. I say that the source video is bad enough that there's no room to add even more degradation. I'm willing to live with data rates that will push 1-2 GB per hour of video. I think that's probably plenty to keep the video quality as good as can be considering the source. I'm just not sure which format is best for this purpose. It's a one-shot deal, once the conversion is done the tapes get thrown away so I'm a little anxious about making the right choice.

    When choosing Export -> QuickTime Movie, you get a self-contained QuickTime-file of your sequence. The default video format is the same as your current sequence settings, which means you will get the exact same frame size an pixel aspect ratio in your QuickTime-file.
    The best thing would be to use Compressor, but first you need to tell us what you are going to do with your QuickTime movie. Is it supposed to be a copy for the web? What video format do you need/want your movie to be exported in?
    To letterbox your video in a 4:3 frame size, read about padding in the Compressor User Manual.

  • CATALOG PSE6 failed to convert

    After installing PrEl7 complete, I uninstalled it and reinstalled PrE7 minimal, to save space. Installation went fine, but catalog from PSE6 failed to convert, unlike the first time. What are my options?

    >How can I start a video-only catalog in this shaky PrE7
    1- Please search your hard drive and check if you have any file with the pse7db file type? (be sure to have hidden files visible when you are searching) If yes, post the folder in which you find it and what its last modified and creation dates are on the pse7db file.
    2- Are you using a PSE 6 catalog with the default name of "My Catalog" or have you created a catalog with your own name? Also do you use the default or a custom location for the PSE 6 catalog? Are you running XP or Vista?
    the following are more general comments so I have separated them from the above specific response :
    >as Barb confirmed, the catalog will not convert from PSE6. Why did it convert a few months ago?? The technology must be in flux. Or is something missing in the short version?
    Based on what you reported it would seem that the conversion support may not be in the minimal/short version. I don't know for sure and I think that you might need to ask that question to Adobe tech support.
    >I do have a PSE7 upgrade but chose not to install it so far, and now that the catalog permanence has been endangered again, probably to promote upgrade sales, my hesitation escalates.
    I do think that it would be better to discuss this part of your question over in the PSE forum. I don't understand why you think that catalog permanence is endangered again: I do not agree with that conclusion. Upgrading a catalog is a normal activity when going to a new version of Photoshop Elements and now also Premiere Elements. I also started with Photoshop Album 2.
    Now I realize that the upgrade from PSA 2 to PSA 6 was difficult and it has been difficult for other people too. I do think that Adobe should have been better at anticipating that people would be converting from PSA 2 to PSE 6 (for Vista support as well as for other reasons).
    You have cleaned up your catalog so to do the upgrade from a PSE 6 catalog to a PSE 7 catalog should be much simpler. Personally, I have more confidence in Photoshop Elements 7 and the PSE 7 catalog than I do in version 6.

  • Converting to DNG after editing.

    Is there any way to convert raw files to DNG after they have been edited and preserve all the edits in DNG?
    I have to say I never converted anything to DNG before. I just tried to convert a few files and all the edits have been discarded.

    Yes, just use the Library menu command to convert to DNG.
    LR keeps the same development and other metadata instructions as it had for the proprietary raw image.
    If you want to this outside LR, you need to save it to xmp, so do a ctrl s after the conversion.
    What exactly did you lok at when you said the edits had been discarded?

  • Play Count problem after converting to Lossless

    I've converted a few albums to the Apple Lossless format via iTunes but am noticing that I'm losing all my play counts.
    Anybody know how to keep the play counts during the conversion?

    This might get a bit long, but here goes...
    If you want to re-rip your songs as lossless (or any other format) and retain playcounts, artwork, last played info, etc, follow these steps:
    • Insert the CD you want to rip.
    • When it comes up in iTunes, makes sure all these items EXACTLY match the corresponding items that are already in your library:
    -Artist
    -Album name
    -each song name
    -whether or not it's a compilation
    -and the disc number (ie disc 1 of 2).
    • Once you're sure, then click the 'import' button. iTunes will ask if you want to replace the existing items. If you say OK, it will rip at the new settings and transfer all the track details over to the new files. It can optionally delete the old files when it's finished.
    If it doesn't ask you if you want to replace, then the info doesn't match exactly and it will rip a new set of files, all with 'virgin' track info.
    Also, if any individual song has info that doesn't match, you'll end up with a duplicate of that song (the old one, with the details, and a new one without.) If that happens, wait till the whole CD is done ripping, eject the disc, delete the NEW duplicate, put the disc back in, correct the mismatched info, deselect the songs on the CD that you've already ripped successfully, and re-rip the one(s) that didn't work the first time.)
    For tracks that you've already re-imported that now have incorrect playcounts, there is a script available to help you set the playcounts to any desired value. You can find it here:
    http://www.dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=newplayedcount
    I'm happy to try to explain further if this is unclear.

  • Converting CUCM user from local to LDAP synchronized

    Hello.
    I am trying to convert a few local users to users that have been synchronized with LDAP. When I am on the End user configuration page, I cannot seem to find anything that would relate to synchronizing with LDAP. Also, if I try to create them from scratch, it automatically creates them as local. Any thoughts?
    Thanks.

    Everything is definitely set up correctly. We were migrating from and older call manager to a new call manager, and were having some troubles with importing certain people, as the Ip phone field was getting blasted away in AD. To the people that was happening to, our consultant converted them to local users. Is there any way to simply reverse this, or do I have to resync LDAP and see if it works?

  • Prodedures of converting CatOS to native IOS in production

    I'm converting a few 6509 Sup720 in hybrid mode to native IOS. Like to hear your suggestions of how to do it with least impact to production and minimum need of being on site physically.
    A few things I can think of:
    1. Convert the standby sup to native IOS first, including the code and config;
    2. Go to the site, physically swap the active sup with the standby sup, and do a reload;
    3. Convert the swapped sup to native IOS code;
    4. Go to the site again, insert the converted sup to standby slot and let it sync with the first sup for config.
    Questions:
    a. If I have two 6509 where hosts are dual homed, from your experience, should I do the convertion one 6509 at a time or both at the same time?
    b. Any way I can simplify the steps?
    Thanks a lot
    Gary

    1. Convert the standby sup to native IOS first, including the code and config;
    2. Go to the site, physically swap the active sup with the standby sup, and do a reload.
    >> If you are removing the current active sup with teh sup that you've converted in step 1. removing the only sup in the chassis will will reload the box already, no need to reload it again when you put in the native sup.
    3. Convert the swapped sup to native IOS code;
    4. Go to the site again, insert the converted sup to standby slot and let it sync with the first sup for config.
    >> This would be the ideal steps, but you will still need to schedule a downtime. Replacing sup during production hours and if nothing goes wrong everyting could be up and running in less than an hour. But scheduling a downtime is still recommended and be prepared for the worst and hope for the best.
    Questions:
    a. If I have two 6509 where hosts are dual homed, from your experience, should I do the convertion one 6509 at a time or both at the same time?
    >> I am infering that if you do both sups at the same time you will still be doing the conversion outline in steps 1 and 2 above. If that is the case then doing both will save you the most time.
    b. Any way I can simplify the steps?
    >> I think, what you have outline is the best way, since you have another chassis to test the conversion which would not put pressure on you to do it quickly.
