File Size Grows Upon Insert

My image file sizes grow enormously when I insert them. One
jpg (a still) is 9.87 KB but when I insert it in DW the readout
shows it as adding 120K! Another jpg (banner) starts at 20K but
when inserted it's 70K. Is it related to using layers? I'm just
starting on DW so I must be doing something wrong. Any help is
appreciated. Thanks.

  • PDF file size grows each time form is saved (with no data changes). Why?

    I have an SAP Adobe form (PDF) and we are seeing a difference in the Save behavior between when it is viewed in Adobe Reader vs. the adobe plug-in(?) for Internet Explorer.
    When the form is viewed in Internet Explorer, every time the user saves the form the file size grows (even with no data changes in the form - i.e., open the form, hit save).  This is not true if the form is opened in Adobe Reader.
    The form in question has multiple pages but the only fields directly bound to the SAP source are a handful of identifiers (e.g., order number) and a dynamic table.  It appears from our testing that the more entries in the table when the form is created, the greater the size increase each time the file is saved.  The table length is not changed after the form is first generated.
    Is there a known difference in the behavior of Adobe Reader vs. the browser plug-in which would account for this difference?  Our users have Adobe Reader X installed on their machines.

    If this is an XFA form, as opposed to an Acroform, you should ask in the LiveCycle Desiger forum or a more relevant LiveCycle forum.

  • LPX file size grows every time I save (with almost no changes) - WHY?

    Hi all,
    I am just now starting to move from Logic 9 to Logic Pro X. I first imported a very simple file from logic nine as a folder project and did not import anything except the file.
    - Then, I immediately saved it.  took more than 30 secs on core i7 - why so long?
    - next I "saved a copy as" file 1a - file size 700k - nice and small.
    - that I loaded the first logic X file back in and muted a few things and saved again
    - I made some other very minor changes like muting and re-saved three or four times.
    Here is what is strange –
    Original file = 1 MB
    main LX file was 2 megs and each subsequent save gained about 1 MB each time I hit save! So, the final grew to 6 MB after just a few saves!
    I checked to see if there was some large edit history file I could purge – but it was empty because all I had done was change some mutes…
    Q: what is going on with this large file size growing every time I hit save without any major changes – I would like to know what's going on.

    It has to do with undo history, backups, and autosaves.  You can see these if you right click on the file and show package contents.  Explore in there and you should see these growing in the alternatives folder.  I would imagine there is kind of a limit to how many of these there are, but haven't looked to closely at it.

  • File Size Growing too much with every Save

    I have designed a form that uses Giids with drop-down lists and also some Image Fields.  When I am using the form and I save it the file size grows excessively with each save.  If I add even one character to a sentence the file size may grow by as much as 500K or more. Saving a few times causes the file to become far to large to send by email.  Any ideas what I need to try and fix, or is this just normal?

    Nope,  I have it unselected and it still grows by leaps and bounds.  Any other ideas?  Is there anyone I can send a form to who  can work on it for a fee?

  • PDF file size grows with each save if .access property set on a field

    We are seeing an odd form behavior and have isolated the apparent trigger to something we are doing in the form script.  I'm hoping someone can confirm they see the same problem, details follow:
    We have a form generated in LiveCycle.  It contains a text field.  In the docReady event for that field we have javascript which sets the field to be readOnly (TextField1.access = "readOnly").  We reader extend the form so we can save it from reader and/or the plug-in/control which is used by a browser when reading PDFs.
    With that simple form, open the form via the browser (we've tested with both IE and Chrome) and without doing anything else, just save the form (with a new name).  When we do that, the saved copy of the form is significantly bigger than the copy we started with.  If we then repeat the process using the newly saved file, the third copy is bigger than the second.
    This file growth does not happen if you open the file in Adobe Reader (instead of in the browser).
    When we look at the file contents via a text editor, what we have found is that each save via the browser is tacking on a chunk of data to the end of the file AFTER the %%EOF mark.  This new section appears to be one or more object definitions and ends with another %%EOF.  The first portion of the file (prior to the first %%EOF) is identical in all versions of the file.
    If you take a copy of the file that has these extra section added, then open and save it in Adobe Reader, it eliminates those extra sections and you get a 'clean', small version of the file again.  So those extra sections are clearly erroneous and unnecessary.
    Another thing worth noting, we took the script for setting the field access property out of the docReady event and put it as the click event on a button added to the form.  If you then open the form, press the button and save it you see the file growth (but not if you don't press the button.)  So it doesn't appear related to the docReady event, or timing of when we set the access property of the field.
    On the small test form described above the growth of the file is around 13KBytes.  But in testing with our real forms we've found that the amount  of growth seems to be tied to the size/complexity of the form and the form data.  In our most complex form with multiple pages with hundreds of fields and a large amount of XML data (form size is 2+MB), we are getting a file size increase of 700KBytes on each save.  This is a therefore, a significant issue for us, particularly since the process in which the form is used requires the users to save it a couple of times a day over the period of a month or more.

    I would start by exporting the XML data from the form before and after it grows to see if it is the underlying data that is growing and where. Did you define a schema and bind your form fields to a data connection created from the schema? That is always my first step when creating a form. It makes for a smaller saved file not including multiple levels of sub forms in the data structure.

  • File sizes growing by magic?!?!?!?!?!?!

    I create DVD's for a wedding business. My file sizes are "growing" and i don't know why. This is the first time I've noticed it. I've designed and burned over 100 wedding DVD's using this method. I use a template in DVD studio pro and I drag and drop my assets onto the appropriate button.
    The project material is 102 minutes. Some double layered video.
    This particular project says that a
    DVD best quality 150 min compression (using compressor template) is 3.92G. I put it in the DVD template and it jumps to 4.4G.
    The audio size (AIFF 16bit-2200Mhtz) is 68M. I put it in the template and my 4.4G from above jumps to 5.7G. 68M to 1.3G??
    I have no idea what is wrong. I've spent four days compressing in various ways using compressor. The description above is the fifth and last attempt.

    What you should do is open the project, close the project, then reopen it. The calculator of size is not always accurate and can "jump" when assets change.
    Also do not use AIFs, make AC3s and use them instead, saves room and improves performance (prevents issues)
    Also note thhat is you are using items in motion menus, that also in creases size each time you extend the length of time (or add audio if there was none)
    You should have no isssues with getting 102 minutes of video on a DVD-5 usually (unless very high motion and you need higher encoding rates)
    Build to the hard drive to get a better sense of the real size if the above does not help )opening/cclosing/reopening should get you back on track though)

  • Huge file size  grow when using external editor

    Hello,
    I want to use an external editor such as Photoshop or Pixelmator. When I set one of the applications to be the external editor everytime I open a file for editing a version is created with a file size of approx. 57 Mb.
    Any ideas what is going on here?

    Lt, it's also worth seeing if you have the setting for the TIFF so that it best suits you.  If you don't require a 16 bit TIFF make sure the it's set to create an 8 bit TIFF instead.  The 57 meg size sounds like a 16 bit image.  An 8 bit one will be half that
    .  Before Aperture I used to stay16 bit right up until I passed the image off to whoever it was going to, at which point I'd make them an 8 bit version because that would usually be what they wanted.  But now so much of whatever advantage that brought me (exposure and tonal changes, especially in solid areas) is being done in Aperture, even before creating a TIFF, so it can be argued that for many people the advantage of exporting 16 bit to the external editor isn't gaining them that much.  If it's going to a consumer printer (that is not 16 bit aware) even more so.   16 bit is better, but if size is an issue and Aperture is doing 90% of the global tweaking, I don't think sending the editor an 8 bit TIFF is a crime  :  )  

  • Projector and dir file size grow 7X unexpectedly - dcr remains the same.

    I’m updating a Shockwave project that is also available
    for download (so size matters and I’ve got a dcr and exe of
    the same project). Last year the file sizes were as follows: dir =
    933kb, dcr = 203kb, exe = 4,857kb … all reasonable. I started
    with last year’s file, eliminated numerous redundant scripts
    and cast members (including an unused font), combined the
    functionality of scripts that were similar, streamlined the
    operation of other scripts, updated some internal data, replaced
    the one and only bmp with a new one for this year (same size),
    saved and compacted … and for all my effort to clean up this
    year’s version I get the following: dir = 33.9Mb, dcr =
    224kb, exe = 37.5Mb The xtras are an obvious suspect but I went
    down the list and they’re the same as last year, the only
    outside xtra being POM (which hasn’t changed since 2006) I
    recompiled last year’s project and the sizes were still
    reasonable, so Director isn’t broke. Anyone know what's up?
    PS: I made a dummy copy of this year's movie, elminated
    everything (all sprites, all cast members, all xtras), save and
    compact, and the dir file is still 33Mb?!?!?
    PPS: Well, I copied everything into a fresh document, spent
    about an hour making sure scripts not attached to sprites didn't
    get left behind, re-attached the required xtras, and now I'm back
    down to a 4.4Mb projector but I'm not sure why.

    Thanks Mike. The odd thing is the results above were after a
    “save and compact” (as a matter of habit I always
    compact). Even with everything stripped out of the file I
    couldn’t get Director to jettison whatever garbage had gotten
    lodged in. On the plus side, moving the cast and score to a fresh
    document not only cured the problem but also allowed me to
    eliminate some legacy xtras that were no longer being used (this
    project has been updated yearly since 2002).
    PS: Flash's memory and file size audit report is really nice
    for trouble shooting this kind of problem, it would be nice if
    Director gets the same feature.

  • Why do my photo file size increases upon export?!?!

    This is driving me nuts. I have Aperture 1.5.2 referencing an iPhoto library. When I look at the metadata toolset I can see each photo's file size. I have all my photos already resized to fit in an 800x800px box. When I export through Aperture using "export version jpeg original" I get an increased file size. When I export using the master version I don't. I went through and added iptc caption data that only seems to export with the version not the master. I can't believe a line of txt adds so noticeably to the file size. If I need to export my photos with the iptc caption data and want to retain my original file sizes how should I go about it?
    Thanks,
    Michael

    chuck,
    it all depends on 2 factors. a - your original file (pixel dimensions, format, compression level, color and bit depth) and the exported file (pixel dimensions, format, compression level, color and bit depth).
    just as an example - if you take a quite strongly compressed jpg (lets say at 5) and export it to be a less compressed jpg (10 to 12), the file size in kb will be larger, while maintaining the same amount of pixels. what has changed is the way the information are stored within the jpg +(to say it very simplified and without going into details about compression and possible loss of data etc)+.
    if you'd take a high-res 16-bit tif and export it (again at exact same pixel dimensions) as jpg, you'd get a much smaller file, still the same pixels (at least the amount of pixels, however perhaps "lower quality" pixels, depending on compression level, original image, noise, tonality etc etc).
    long (technical) story short: there is no real "one answer fits all" because it heavily depends on your original image. as a rule of thumb however, print files should be in 300 dpi and images for the web in 72.
    in terms of color and bit depth it now depends who you're sending the files to. if you send them to your client, use 8 bit sRGB. if you send it to a graphic designer, i'd send him 16-bit tif files in adobe rgb. all of this makes no sense if your original image was a heavily compressed 8 bit sRGB jpg of course.

  • Other file size grow to more then 6GB. Heed help to reduce size.

    I have the iphone 3G- 16gb. Recently I noticed that the orange section(Other) has grown to 6gb. I have less then 1gb free space now. How can I reduced this "other" file size and what is this? At first I thought it was the book mark so I got rip all of it but "other remain at 6gb". Any suggestion or help appreciated.

    i had the same issue. I had just updated to iTunes 8.2.1. When I synced phone it said phone was synced with another library. IMPOSSIBLE! this is the only computer (iMac) I have ever synced with (or even plugged into.) I went ahead and clicked erase current iphone content and sync. I thought "no problem" as I have everything backed up already.
    I got a message saying "Not enough memory for all the music and photos." No new music or photos since last sync a few days ago. Not there is 9 GB of "other" data. How do I erase all the "other data?" Does "restore" really do this? or an app like iStat?
    Any thoughts will help.
    Thanks

  • File sizes grow too fast when asset added

    When I add a 125 Mb mp4 file to my menu in DVD Studio Pro, the size of the file as indicated by the green guide at the top goes from 3.4 Gb, to 5.4 Gb.
    Any idea why a 125 Mb .mp4 file would cause the DVD to get so big so fast?

    Yes, the main DVD assets are one .m2v and .ac3 file with chapter markers that make up the 3.4 GB. The file I want to add is a smaller, 1/2 hour separate and related file. This is why I tried to use .mp4 because I was less concerned about the video quality.

  • File size grows when compressing to h.264

    I wonder if any of you can help me here. I created a quicktime movie from iPhoto of a slide show. It runs for 3mins is 1024 x 768 pixels with MPEG Layer 3, Stereo, 44.100 kHz and a data rate of 915.78 kbits/sec. The file is 9.9 MB.
    I "compressed" it to h.264 as follows:AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz
    H.264, 720 x 576, Million and a data rate of 717.84 kbits/sec.
    The file GREW to 16.5MB.
    Any idea on what I am doing wrong.
    Dave

    Thanks for the input. Yes I looked at the save as option and the file would swell to 20MB saved that way. I had not realized that the Finder was so "economical" with its information.
    The movie size was more abritary than anything else, smaller than the original. I have done slides shows in iDVD before.
    The reason for trying to go to h.264 was for use on a PC. Whilst quicktime is available under Windows, a lot of people want to use Windows Media Player and mp4 will play in WMP. I used a PC utility to transcode the movie on the PC but ended up with a 37MB file on that occasion.
    Is there an efficient way to turn QT movies to WMP AVI's?

  • File Size Grows from a few mb to over a gb

    I work for a high school and in our Mac Labs our newspaper students use Indesign.  The files that they create are stored on a Windows file server that the students access using SMB.
    We've experienced a situation over the last few issues where a student will work on a file and save it.  Once saved it is only around 4mb-6mb in size.  However, the same student or another student will then try to manipulate the same file only to find that it has grown to over a gigabyte in size causing Indesign to be unresponsive.  We'll then have to save the file as a different name and remove the old file.  Photos are not large and it's pretty basic usage of Indesign.
    My question is this: Does anyone else have this problem?  If so, is there a remedy or process that we could follow to alleviate this problem?
    Basic info:
    Newer iMacs running Snow Leopard
    Indesign CS4 Design Standard
    Files are stored on Windows Server 2008.
    Any help is appreciated.

    This may not be the problem, but repeatedly doing a plain save can cause terrific file bloat. All of the od change history is retained, but useless, when the file is closed. Doing a save as periodically forces a complete rewrite and purges that junk.

  • Growing PDF File Size is Pathetic

    Hey all,
    I have been using Acrobat for a number of years but ever since my organization updated me to v9, this growing file size is pathetic! If I move a button on a form, the file size grows 100k. If I add a field, the file size grows 100k. I started with a 58k size form (with about 25 fields), and making a few changes and adding a field or two pushed the size over 1meg?!?!
    Is there ANYTHING that I can do to stop this? (and yes, I have tried "optomizing" the form using all sort of included options, and on mulitple occasions, optomizing the form ADDED size to the file!?)
    And lastly, is Adobe EVER going to fix this??
    Thanks for your time.

    Hi ~Grafiti.
    Thanks for replying.
    I thought that as well. I panic when I add a few fields and it grows to over a meg!
    On other forums, users who have this problem have said that it's Acrobat adding redundant "XML Junk" to the file. They also say that a way to remove it is to save the form as a "XDP", then "hex edit" all the junk out. Yeah...like I am gonna do all that
    Thanks again.

  • Reducing File Size After Applying Digital Signature

    I have a dynamic  form created in Live Cycle Designer ES 8.2, reader extended in Acrobat Pro 9.4 and being filled in and signed in Reader 9.4.  The form has  multiple (10+) digital signature fields.  In some cases, images (jpeg, tiff) are inserted into the form before it is circulated for signatures.  Everytime a signature is applied, the file size grows based on the size of the images that have been attached as it seems to be embedding a signed version of the form each time a signature is applied.  After a few signatures are applied, the file size can grow to be quite large.  Is there a way to prevent it from doing this everytime a signature is applied so that the file can be kept to a more manageable size?

    Go into the importing tab, and set the options to Mp3 at a lower bitrate, then go to your song and choose Convert to Mp3 - it will then create another copy at a lower bitrate - leaving the high quality original - you can then burn the smaller one to your CD - it shouldn't take long to convert.
