"File size is too large"

When I imported the only 4 files in a particular folder (scans of photos) into the Organiser, the message "File size is too large" came up for two of them instead of preview images, although do appear to have been added to the Catalog as their MB size, pixel dimensions and creation date show in the Properies General tab.
I take it this must relate to pixel count and not the file size per se as the two tifs (13.2 and 13.3 MB but 1792 x 2508 and 2518 x 1798 pixels) are fine, while the two JPGs (12.9 and 30.8 MB and 9616 x 6480 and 7048 x 10376) are the ones without preview images?
I wasn't aware of this as a problem, so can anybody tell me please, have I just set too low a limit somewhere or is there a real restriction?
And is this new to PSE6 or something that's been around for a while?
Thanks, Peter

I have a 212mb psd file (a panorama). I have Elements 6.0 and 4 meg RAM, Vista.
I went through the regedit process as outlined in Adobe Technote kb402760 and upped it to 1,000,000,000. I would think that would have given enough headroom for my file size. But it didn't. I still have the generic "file size too large" on my thumbnails.
I did note that the tech note had a different location for the Software/Adobe/Elements 6.0/Organizer (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ ) from the location in my file structure. In fact, this string was listed in at least three places OTHER THAN the one indicated in the Technote. How likely is it that adding "MaxImageSize" to the Elements 6.0 register locations other than specifically indicated is the reason why the file size capacity was not increased. Why doesn't Elements show up in the location indicated by the Tech Note?
NOTE FOR ADOBE: Why isn't this a more easily accessible option in the user interface? If I have a large file that slows things down a bit on my thumbnails, that could be my choice. This artificial constraint built into the regedits that no one goes to is too much like parental controls for 5 year olds.

How do I split a pdf file when the file size is too large?

How do I split a pdf file when the file size is too large? Thanks!

With Adobe Acrobat. It can also optimize your document to make the size smaller.

CFX_Image seems to resize ok but the file size is too big??

my host uses CFX_IMAGE v1.6.6.11 (
http://80.79.138.227/cfximage/index.cfm
which does a perfectly good job of resizing images except for
the fact that the resultant file size is too large. i found that
compared to resizing images locally, resizing using this tag
resulted in file sizes of double the size.
i have tried tweaking the "quality" paramater but without
success, i could get the file size down but then the quality was
poor.
so i am forced to resize images locally using macromedia
fireworks or MS paint before uploading them.
ideally i need to be able to resize images server side but
without inordinate file sizes.
does anyone else use a cfx_image tag that's more efficient?
or does anyone else know how to get this tag to perform better?
any help would be very gratefully received.
thank you

Hi,
You may want to take a look a this script:

"This file attachment is too large to be viewed." What?

I created a 15.6MB m4v for iPhone using compressor to test being able to email clips to a client for review on his iphone. A couple of strange things. First, when the message is received, the attachment now reads that it is 20.6MB in size. Second, when I attempt to open it on my iPhone... it gives me the message "This file attachment is too large to be viewed."
Is there a limitation with the iPhone here that I didn't know about?

Yes this is a public board, which shouldn't exclude common courtesy.
This is a user to user help forum only and fellow users that post answers to questions or provide suggestions here volunteer their time to do so.
I don't have a problem with you providing what you think is a shortcoming, but there is nothing wrong with me providing a reasons or reasons why it isn't a shortcoming for the most part. If that is being "needlessly defensive", then you are needlessly interested only in thoughts that agree with your own.
What does that mean exactly? I wasn't suggesting they would, they usually use their own dedicated mail servers... which they can set to unlimited if they wish... which is why putting the limitation on the iphone pulls the rug out from under them if they want to use the iPhone AND send/receive large files via email. Pretty simple equation really.
What it means exactly is, you were talking about business use and you mentioned Gmail having a 20MB overall message size limit. Yes many businesses use their own dedicated server, which they can set to unlimited if they wish, but this will only work internally and with other businesses that do the same.
I'll bet you dollars to donuts the overwhelming majority of businesses with or without their own dedicated email server do not have an unlimited overall message size limit. Some may have a larger overall message size limit than 10MB, but 10MB is a very common limit.
So any way in which the iPhone can become more useful as a business device is a good thing... isn't it?
Certainly, but what you consider as being more useful may or many not match what I or someone else may consider as being more useful and there is nothing wrong with that.
Perhaps you will never need or otherwise enjoy landscape email, full screen attached video playback, or attachments greater than 10MB... but to not see the obvious improvement as a business device had these features been implemented in 2.0.2 just doesn't make any sense to me.
I have been discussing overall message size limits only. I haven't mentioned anything about these other items.

How do I optimize a file/ it is too large to send

how do I optimize a file that is too large to send

Hi sarasota realtor,
Please let me know what format of file do you wish to optimize and send.
You can try compress and zip the file to reduce the size.
If it's a pdf file you want to optimize, you can refer to the steps mentioned in : http://forums.adobe.com/message/5084402#5084402

Trying to email a video and the file size is to large to attach.

Trying to email a friend a video and it says the file size is to large to attach. How do I change this?

Go into your photo-video program and change the file size to the smallest resolution possible. Also limit the video to less than 30 seconds to a minute.
Then try sending again. The problem you are having is because the file is too large to send via the method you are using.
Good Luck

File size is very large in 7.0 coamparing to 3.X

Hi,
When saving the query in 7.0 the file size become very large as compare to saving the same query with the same amount of data in 3.X. Is there any solution to take care of this problem and reduced the file size in 7.0. Please advice.
Thanks
Isac

Hi,
The file size increases due to the high formatting options in BI 7.0.
Remove the formatting option from the work book setting in the Bex analyzer in design mode.

HT3142 Display size is too large on yahoo mail

My display size is too large on yahoo mail page only (page I need and use most). How do I correct it, please?
Changing the display selections from system preferences is not working.

There may be a control within the application you are running Yahoo.
Which browser are you using online to access Yahoo?
In the View menu bar of the open application, there may be a choice
to change the size of the display content in the window itself, check.
Some of these use a keyboard command, should the setting go to
Full Screen, you'd need to know the default or escape combination
of keys to restore the application's window to a standard size. This
kind of inside-application setting is not reflected System Wide.
Since I don't know the browser, (as I have five, each is different)
I can't recommend a keyboard combination to re-size the open
application's view or window setting. They can be non-standard.
But that likely is where you'd have to change it back to normal.
PS: Snow Leopard is Mac OS X 10.6.8.
(Tiger is OS X 10.4.x)
Good luck!

Once combine file, it is too large to email. Is there a way to reduce the size of the file?

Combined files and now it is too large to send. Is there a way to reduce the size of the converted file in Adobe?

Hi yodonna,
Adobe Reader doesn't allow you to reduce the size of a PDF file, as Acrobat does. But, you could upload that file to your Acrobat.com account, and create an anonymous link to it using Adobe Send. Then, you could send that link via email. You can access Adobe Send at https://cloud.acrobat.com/send. The Create an Anonymous Link feature doesn't require that you have an Adobe Send subscription.

Reducing file size produces a larger file (?)

I have a 3.8mb pdf (created in Acrobat 9) that I'd like to reduce in size. It's text only (about 450 pages) and when I select "Reduce file size" Acrobat X goes through steps to optimize it for the web, and it comes out 5.1 mb. Not really much of a reduction in size if it's now a meg and a half larger than the original. Is there a better way to do this that I'm missing here?

There are many things that could cause the issues. Under the Optimize option (or wherever it went in AAX) there is an audit function that allows you to see where the storage is going. You could compare before and after optimization to see what was happening. You say 450 pages is not much, but that all depends on what is there. If it is a lot of graphics, it could be huge. If you use a lot of different fonts, that can cause extra storage of all those fonts. So there are many variables and sometimes they do get bigger -- happened to me too. Unfortunately, when you are trying to make things smaller, you are often under the gun and don't have time to diddle around. Good luck.

Just paid $23.88, but my file couldn't be converted. "12345_2014.pdf" failed to export to docx. The file is either too large or too complex to export.

what could I do?

Hi Karl_ma.
I'm sorry that the file didn't convert for you. How large is the file you're trying to convert? There's a 100MB file-size limit. Overly complex files that fall within this limit may not convert, depending on your upload speed and so on.
You can try converting with OCR disabled as outlined in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition, which will simplify the conversion process.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

I need to export (to doc format) just a few select pages from various parts of a PDF file that is too large to convert in its entirety

I already paid for the service, but I can't seem to do the above.
If I upload the entire thing the process fails, saying the file is too large...

I would suggest using an outside product, such as PDF Splitter (FoxyUtils SplitPDF - Split PDF Files Online for Free), or just open up the document in Chrome, and print from your desired start to end page as a PDF. Then try uploading the file.
There is no internal workaround available in Acrobat.com yet, as after all, it is still in its beginning stages, unlike the Acrobat desktop application.
Wouldn't be a bad suggestion, I guess, though, for an improvement to make for a future version.

Mac Scanner file size is very large

I have recently scan some documents to my computer, however, I have notice some document file size are large, and some documents are small.
I accidentally scan a duplex document and single page. I find out that combine page increase each page by 100KB, consider the scanned single page is 20KB.
Both Scan do not have difference in scan quality.
It really bothers me because all previous scan unnecessary tripple in size.
Can any body explain about the anomaly?

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?

Video Sharing - Videos upload issue to Vimeo because files are now too large post iOS7.

Videos taken prior to iOS7 update uploaded without issues to Vimeo. Vidoes taken after iOS7 update will not upload because videos are too large. I am videoing the same type of activities for the same duration post iOS7 as I was pre-iOS7. What has changed with iOS7 that is causing my videos to be saved as larger files? This is a HUGE issue for what I do! HELP PLEASE!!

You're going to have to edit them on a computer before uploading them, unless you can convince Vimeo to change their limits.
