File is getting hung up in Consolidating Duplicate Fonts function
I have a large file that has around 50 files incorporated into it for a total of approximately 9000 pages. One "section" of the file is where the majority of files were incorporated. No one in my organization was the author of those files. The problem I have with the completed file, after a lot of pain, is that any time I go into the file to make modifications (i.e., replace pages or add pages) the action causes the file to do a function called Consolidating Duplicate Fonts which is a normal function. What is not normal is that this function gets hung up and takes almost an hour to process. The problem manifests again when I go to save the file (I always use Save As) when saving my files for optimum file size management.
When I work with this document without that section in it the file is fine.
I have tried printing to the problem files to Adobe PDF as another file and while that reduces the file size it doesn't cure the problem. I have the suspicion that there is something in the embedding of fonts that is going on. Is there any way to fix the problem of the file taking so long to consolidate the duplicate fonts?
I can only imagine that these files are huge. A portfolio may be more appropriate.

Can I change option for Consolidating Duplicate Fonts?
I work for a textbook publisher. Our materials are constantly be proofed, updated, and repurposed. Several of the titles are over 1,000 pages. We are experiencing very significant hangups when it comes to "Consolidating Duplicate Fonts" when we replace the initial page of these documents, and then again when we need to do a "Save As." Sometimes this process can take upwards of 45 minutes. This has created a production nightmare without any resolution I can find to the problem. Is there anything we can do to speed up or bypass this process without bloating the file sizes or degrading press-ready compatibility?
Thank you for your input, Luke. And, yes, I am talking about PDFs.
In normal situations, your suggestion may be a viable option. However, our printer and the vendor we use to generate/post our digital editions require completely embedded font sets (no subsets). But, I will give it a try, just to test the theory.
Our Student Edition textbooks actually run through this process at a resonable time; taking about 2–3 minutes.
Primarily, the issue happens when updating pages within our Teacher's Edition. The teacher's book pages contain an insert of the student's textbook pages. Those imported graphics for the insets are also PDFs, made from a cropped press-optimized version of the student's pages. It's my thought that is what is causing the trouble. Otherwise, this text in the teacher's book is quite simple. I'm fairly sure the app has to basically read/consolidate each of those particular pages twice. But it still shouldn't take as long as it does.
Typically, we use only four font families: Avant Garde, New Century Schoolbook, Lubalin Graph, and Jacoby. We do use a few others randomly for illustrative purposes at times, but all-in-all, we keep fairly simple in regards to font usage. I really don't believe the issue has anything to do with the quantity of fonts being used. -
First off, I am working in Adobe X Pro. Secondly, I have 22 separate documents that I need to combine, for a total of about 110 Mb. When I try to combine all at once, it displays the message "consolidating duplicate fonts" and basically shuts my computer down. If I drag each file in seperately, it takes approximately 14 hours to drag 21 files in one at a time to the original file. What is the answer here? I think it is beyond nuts that it takes 14 hours to combine a 22 document PDF! Is there some sort of font management system that I need or??? Any tips/tricks would be desparately appreciated!!!

Consolitation duplicate Fonts ... takes forever
Hello,
some of my pds's have 6000 to 10000 scanned pages, with thousands of bookmarks etc., filesize >1gb.
If i insert new scanned pages (from another pdf) with drag an drop at the end of the pdf then the "consolidation duplicate fonts" takes up to 10 minutes to complete. During this time, i cannot work with any pdf. This is very disturbing to my workflow.
How can i disable this "consolidating duplicate fonts"?
I do not need any fonts-funktionalitiy at all. Cleaning everything and all the fonts through the optimization-funktion has no effect. Please do not start a dicussion, why this und why that. I do just need to get rid of this waiting-time "consolidating duplicate fonts".
Hardware i7, 16gb, Win 7, SSD, etc.
Any Solution?
ZeitlerMark,
we recently dealt with a similar issue with removing duplicates. We inherited over 500M detail records from the source system. I tried several versions, due to performance issues, and found the following worked the best for us. Hope it helps.
It deletes all but the first occurence, depending on sort order - 'col4' .
CREATE TABLE temp_duplicates AS
SELECT
ordr_num
,itm_num
,case_num
,CAST(NULL AS NUMBER) num_dups
FROM sms.marrs_case
WHERE NULL IS NOT NULL;
INSERT /*+ APPEND */ INTO temp_duplicates
SELECT
ordr_num
,itm_num
,case_num
,COUNT(*) num_dups
FROM sms.marrs_case
GROUP BY
ordr_num
,itm_num
,case_num
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1;
DELETE FROM sms.marrs_case
WHERE ROWID IN
SELECT sub_rowid
FROM
SELECT mc.ROWID sub_rowid
,rank() OVER (PARTITION BY mc.ordr_num, mc.itm_num, mc.case_num ORDER BY mc.col4 ASC) rank_dups
FROM temp_duplicates dups
,sms.marrs_case mc
WHERE
dups.ordr_num = mc.ordr_num
AND dups.itm_num = mc.itm_num
AND dups.case_num = mc.case_num
WHERE rank_dups > 1

I just upgraded the itunes on my PC and the display duplicates option is no longer found under the FILE menu. How do I get rid of the MANY duplicate songs I have in my library with out the display duplicates option? HELP
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See thisthread for background and please take note of the warning tobackup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)
Note if some of the duplicate items have the iCloud link icon sign out of the store, then sign in again.

I have PS 6 and just purchased an iMac and am running OS 10.10.1 (Yosemite). When i try to Save or Save As a file I get the following message: Could not save as "Whatever.psd" because this file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the Get Info command in the Finder to ensure the file is unlocked and you have permission to access the file. If the problem persists, save the document to a different file or duplicate it in the Finder. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Upgraded to tiger, mail gets hung up on importing old messages.
I had my pwrbk tuned up and upgraded to Tiger. All files were swept onto a dvd for back up and just plopped back on again after the install. When I click on mail to 'mail' it wants to import my "existing Mail messages into the new version"... so I 'continue' as it requests and (sighhh) it procedes to import (sighhh) my 4500 or so (who's counting) messages. It gets hung up on #1363 (which I believe is in the 'sent' folder) and the time remaining keeps increasing...- I mean - I gave it a chance - the battery (brand spank me new) ran all the way down AND we plugged it in too ... it happens every time. How to bypass this import without deleting all my old emails and just excise the offending hanger-upper?
The conversion from Mail 1.x to Mail 2.x is broken. Even if Mail didn’t freeze while importing, there is no guarantee that it would import the old mailboxes successfully. Take a look at the following thread for an example:
Just upgraded, Most of my old Inbox is gone!
You could apply the procedure described there to the mailboxes that Mail appears to be choking on. Alternatively, you could move the entire account folder out of ~/Library/Mail/ (to the Desktop) and manually import its mailboxes afterwards as Other. -
I am having problems with the Preview application. When I try to use it to open a pdf document it gets hung-up and I have to select force quit to close it. Any ideas on how to resolve this problem? Thanks for any help
Can you open the Preview program without loading a file, like by itself?
If it doesn't load then I suspect a corrupt Preview preference file.
Deleting the System Preference or other .plist file
Can you open other files with Preview, like jpg's and images?
How about other PDFs? or is it just that one you have downloaded?

TS2296 Safari (Version 7.0.1 (9537.73.11)) gets hung with Yahoo
Frequently Safari (Version 7.0.1 (9537.73.11)) gets hung while trying to load a section of the Yahoo home page. It never recovers spontaniously. Using Quit from the File menu closes the window, but the icon in the dock shows that it is still running. Using Force Quit, the Safari icon in the dock returns to normal. Shut Down also hangs, and the only way to turn off the MacBook Pro is to hold down the start button.

I've been using Aperture 3 for a few months, and I'm thouroughly dismayed by the mess the library has become. I have so many duplicates, and there doesn't seem to be a good, efficient way to sort them out. With other files, if I move a new file to a folder that already contains a file by that name, I receive a message to that effect. Aperture offers no help. Like a glutton it just gobbles up every picture file, file from Photo Stream, and I don't know where else. I'm feeling rather disgusted by the whole mess. I've tried Aperture Duplicate Annihilator - what a waste of time. Can I get to a photo directory that would allow me to eliminate the duplicates and errant thumbnails by hand? That seems like an awful lot of work, but short of just deleting the entire lot, I don't know what to do.
Thanks,
StephenI have the same problem. I just switched from iPhoto to Aperture 3.
My library has about 40,000 photos - and thousands of them are duplicates.
But here is my question for the community. When I view "info" on my photos, I notice that the "project path" tags vary - or the badges vary. I have a vague feeling that this has to do with having an original file, then one version being created for the "faces" function, and another version indicating the photo is in a project, and another version indicating the photo is in a slideshow, etc. etc. But why can I find that sequentially, there are two copies of at least a hundred consecutive photos?
Is there any harm in deleting the duplicate "versions" - am I jeopardizing the original?
Help. This doesn't make sense to me. -
I have a macbook with Iphoto 8.1.2. How do I get it to stop importing duplicates even after I checkbox tell it not to.
How do I get it to stop importing duplicates even after I checkbox tell it not to.
That checkmark will only prevent iPhoto from importing exact duplicates - the exact filename, image format, exactly the same size,
What kind of duplicates are you asking about? Have the files been renamed or converted in any way? -

Photoshop CC Install keeps getting hung up
Last week I purchased and set up a brand new imac running OS X 10.9.1. I have Creative Cloud on my pc laptop and wanted to install my second allowable version onto the new Mac. A few days ago I installed the Creative Cloud Installer, which seemed to install successfully, and then started to try to install Photoshop. The installation was excrutiatingly slow and would get hung up before it ever reached 10%. For a number of hours today, I have researched the problem through similar discussion threads here in the forum. I have now unistalled Creative Cloud Installer, Restarted, run the cleaning files, Restarted, reinstalled the Installer and am attempting to download Photoshop again. Unfortunately, I am running into the same problem once more. I have also gone to the "driect download" link that was provided on a few of the discussion threads, but when I go to that web page it seems to only be intended for people to install a free trial version of the software. I don't want a free trial version, I am already paying for Creative Cloud. Please help!
nicoleTrial versions are identical to the paid versions and with a proper licensing in place will function as such. You are shunning away from something that is a non-issue. The rest is neither here nor there. We don't know anything about your network connection or what else is going on. if it is really that slow, something may be wrong, but we can't know that based on your ratehr generic description....
