Form Size Increase

Hi to all;
I created an Adobe Interactive Form for a SAP installation using LiveCycle Designer 8. The form allows the user to upload images using base64 encoding scheme. When the user uploads images filesize increase in a coherent way always being the simple sum of the form w/o images and of the images in base64 format (4/3 of the actual image size).
When an image is uploaded by the server, however, its size is always greater than expected. For example if I merge a form of 160kb and an image of 1mb size the result is 4.9 mb.
Have you got any ideas about that?
Thank you in advance for any of your answers.

ok,
This form has 2 date fields.
The dates are being displayed as 28-JUL-.
We need to scroll on the date field to see 2005
There is not much space on the record as all cols are close to each other
So,If I can increase form size and then the date field sizes so that the whole date
can be seen.

Form size increases with F4 help

Hello All,
I am facing a performance issue in an interactive form. We have developed an adobe form and linked it to portal through WebDynpro. We have around 10 fields with F4 help on the screen. We achieved the F4 help with a push button next to the corresponding field on the form and linked the field to the View context in WebDynpro and added dictionary search help.
Tha problem here is- as we go on entering the data by clicking on F4 help, by the time we reach 4th or 5th search help the size of the form increases, as shown in the status bar at the bottom of any webpage, up to 5 or 6 MB and it will take a lot of time to load update the form with the selected value from search help. We have incread the ICM parameter to give user more time to fill the form but this is not a good practice as we know.
Is there a way to improve the performance in this case? Following are details of system:
1. ADS - SP 17
2. NetWeaver 7.0/2004s
3. Already activated "Allow form rendering to be cached on server" in form properties in SFP.
Any inputs will be very helpful.
Thanks,
Anil

Hello Anil,
I don't think that the amount of data Web Dynpro sends to the Adobe Reader increases dramatically - I assume there's a problem with your form / Adobe Reader (what's the Reader version you are using?).
Some users in the forum reported recently that an update of the ZCI script has solved such performance problems.
You could do the following to narrow down the problem:
- analyze the server response times and the amount of data transferred to the browser using a HTTP sniffer (HTTPWatch or fiddlertool): Only the requests containing the name of your Web Dynpro application are of interest.
- If you are using Adobe Reader 8: Watch process AcroRd32.exe with the task manager, esp. the memory consumption.
The following actions could help:
- Update Adobe Reader to the latest version
- Update the ADS and the ZCI script of your form, i.e. update to the latest SAP NetWeaver SP (ABAP + JAVA) and call transaction SFP_ZCI_UPDATE for your form afterwards
- If this doesn't help, you should open an OSS message

Form size increases when ADOBE Form moved from DEV to QA

Hi Gurus,
I have a large PDF ADOBE Form developed in DEV but when I moved this Form to QA environment, I noticed the file size has been Doubled(from 2MB to 4MB). Please note that, this is not an interative Form. Can someone tell me why and how can I fix it. We are emailing this form and 4MB is too large.
Thanks for your help,
Cyrus

Well, after discussing it with SAP, we are still in the dark and don't know why this problem only occurs to one of our PDF outputs. however, the following might help you to cut some times looking for answers.
1-It started after we changed the values in the Layout properties. We are not sure in which tab. We guess it was "PREVIEW"
2-After this, every time we made any changes to the Layout, the size was doubled until it became a major problem
3-We contacted SAP for this issue and the respond was "Please refer to following note for installation/patches:
1176858 / 1356871"
4-We were also asked by ADOBE to download a zip file called "COMMON.zip" and install the COMMON file on our ADS server
5-After installing the COMMON file on our server we were asked to run the ABAP program "FP_CHK_REPORT" on the FORM.
6-The suggestion was to only check mark only common-001when running the ABAP, but we check marked all after found no results with only COMMON-001.
7- check out this link. http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/44/35f874b9d74901e10000000a1553f7/content.htm
8-we did all of the above but we had partial success, it reduced the size fro 7MB to 4MB
9-Finally, we created the same Form from ground up without touching the Layout properties and the size turned up to be around 100KB.

Adobe interactive form size double

Hi all,
I'm very new to Adobe form area and we have faced an issue that pdf generated from adobe form is much bigger when it is interactive form (fillable flag set to 'X') The size increases more than double when it is an interactive.
Just wondering what would be factors to this problem and is there anything we can do to reduce the size of interactive pdf.
Regards,
Pan

Even with upgrade I was still having problem, so what I did was...
I created new new interactive form.
I deleted old interactive form from the layout and recreated one.
When I went to adobe design form, I just imported old form (it automatically retained all settings)
and saved it and activiated it... and It worked.
It wasn't the best solution, but since I only had one interactive form, it didn't take that long to do it (probably total of 10 minutes.)

Why does PDF file size increase each time I "save" tagging tasks?

Why does PDF file size increase each time I "save" tagging tasks?
Given:
1) I'm running Acrobat Pro 11.0.07 (this is most current version)
2) My file size starts at 750mb and ends up 15mb when finished tagging.
3) Only certain documents experience this increase, i.e., no visible pattern of document characteristics
4) PDF's are not full of images...in fact, mostly <H1> <H2> <H3> <P> <Figure> alt text, ect.
5) Occurs with text PDF's and/or fillable forms (again, does not happen to all documents...only some)
6) File increase occurs incrementally as tagging tasks are performed; i.e., each new save increases file size a few megabytes.
7) Occurs whether I "save" or "save as"
8) Difficult to optimize these files without corruption
9) I'm running Mac OS 10.9.4 (this is most current version)

Thank you so much for responding! I've been experimenting with the SAVE AS vs. SAVE for the past few days...and you are correct. It's funny because I've been tagging files for 2 years and never noticed this. Probably b/c I use both methods depending on the tagging tasks...some are more complicated than others and should not be overwritten. In those cases I SAVE AS new file.
I love this forum...thank you again!

DB Size increase after calculation

When I calculate my DB its size increases abnormaly. If I export all the data and import it again, the DB size shrinks to 50% of its former size. Why does that happen?Dimensions:Time (Dense)Measures (Dense)Organization (Sparse)Products(Sparse)Value Type (Sparse) VT_CHF VT_EUR FX_EURMy calc script is:(IF(VT_CHF<>0 AND VT_CHF<>#MISSING)VT_EUR = VT_CHF/MEA_DUMMY->ORG_DUMMY->PROD_DUMMY->FX_EUR;ENDIF;)

This usually happens if you have committed access on. Your database can effectively double in size because when a block is calculated, a new block is created and then the pointer is changed from the old block to the new one. The old blocks stay in your pag file. To fix this, I changed to uncommitted access and then set a number in the commit blocks field to represent the number of blocks of redundant data that the database will retain. The higher the number, the more your database will grow, but a low number will impact on calc times if the block sizes are small.

Acrobat Pro 9 file size increases 10x

When I edit a pdf file in Acrobat Pro 9, even the smallest edit like the date, my document size increases by 10 fold. Another user, on the same version, makes the same edit and it does not change much at all. I have uninstalled/reinstalled 3 times, tried Reduce File Size and many other things but nothing seems to work. Has anyone else experienced this same thing and found a resolution?

That is my bad...I must have been in a hurry trying to beat the snow storm and misposted. How can I move or delete and get this in the correct forum?
Thanks

How to set size of rectangle dynamically depending on form size ?

Hi,
why does the size of a rectangle is not depend on the fom size? Can i set the size of my rectangle dynamically, depending on the user form size?
best regards

Markus,
I use the following in the FormResize event:
    Private Function ItemHandler_FormResize(ByRef oCompany As SAPbobsCOM.Company, _
            ByRef oApplication As SAPbouiCOM.Application, ByRef pVal As SAPbouiCOM.ItemEvent) As Boolean
        ItemHandler_FormResize = False
        oForm = oApplication.Forms.GetForm(pVal.FormTypeEx, pVal.FormTypeCount)
        Try
            oForm.Freeze(True)
            If pVal.BeforeAction = False Then
                oForm.Items.Item("FldRtg").Width = oForm.Width - 20
            End If
            ItemHandler_FormResize = True
        Catch ex As Exception
            oApplication.MessageBox("ItemHandler_FormResize(): " & ex.Message.ToString)
        Finally
            oForm.Freeze(False)
        End Try
    End Function

PDF size increase

When I edit an image in PS that I extracted from Acrobat, why does the meg size increase with each edit?

I tried that after posting this question and the size was back at the original size, 19mb. I had extracted an image from an ad, color corrected an area, chose Save in PS, closed the image and watched the pdf in Acrobat refresh itself with the edit. I then chose Save in Acrobat, extracted the image into PS again and did another edit. That's when I saw the mb size increase. I can only do one edit in PS and then I have to save it back into Acrobat. If I try to do several different color corrections in PS and choose Save, a dialogue box opens that asks me what I would like to name this temp pdf that saves into a Temp folder. When I was making an edit, saving in PS and then closing that image to save the pdf as the same name, the mb size increased each time until it was up to 334 mb ! I am using Acrobat 7 Pro and PS CS 5.
Thanks for the reply.

File sizes increase in StarOffice 8

I've got a letter I send out about once a month, just changing dates in the contents for each edition. It has a linked .jpg file as background.
In StarOffice 7 the .sxw file size is 8 Kb.
In StarOffice 8 the size has leapt to 44 Kb, whether I save it in .sxw or .odt format.
Why?

I find that file sizes increase both with text documents and with spreadsheets, sometimes by a great deal. One of the reasons I switched from 5.2 to 7 was the much smaller file sizes, since I keep my weekly back-ups on floppies (and am a stingy sort of fellow generally). But I had to run 7 and 5.2 together, since 7 does not handle Sanskrit/Hindi founts (the SO "help" team just asked a whole lot of questions and then disappeared). So now I have (on Windows) 5.2, 7 and 8. I have still not checked if 8 handles these founts. If it does, I can remove 5.2. For the rest, 8 does not seem to offer any advantage over 7 -- not counting the data base, which I have still to look into. File size, in my view, goes against it.

Index size increased after import

hi i mentioned already the index creation problem when i am trying to create index using script after import of table.So droped the table and created table using script and index also without data,then i started to import at tablelevel with indexes=n then ia m importing data from the production database.
The size of the 2 indexes in production is 750 and 1200 mb each in test db both index size increased around double 1200 and 1700 mb each.I used same script in both db.Why this is increased here i took the export with compress=y full database export.Why the index size increased? when i created the index with initial extent and next extent size respective 800 and 100 mb.Whether is it the reason?
with regards
ramya

i gave initial 1000 and next 100 for the index size around 1.1 gb in production but here in test why this became around 1.7 gb,eventhough the pct increase is 50 it should come around 1.3 maximum.Whether it will give any performance problem
wiht regards

Reg: SAP Adobe form size restrictions

Hi Geeks,
Could anybody explain me about the memory restriction in sap adobe offline forms. Presently the form size is around 670kb with 3 pages. There is plan to expand this to 26 pages with 670kb * 8 .Will there be any performance issue in this case?
Regards,
Sivakaran.K.C

Hi Kumar,
For sure your form would be @ 5 MB and it would be a performance issue.
Since the entire file has to be processed between ECC & ADS systems you can see the processing time and its hectic.
but I have a doubt, your 3 pages file is @ 670KB..? is it any complex one...?
Well there is a bug in ADLC 8.2.X version where it keeps on adding <?templateDesigner StyleID aped3?> this tag redundantly every time you edit the form, especially when you copy paste elements with in the form. check if there is something like this in your form just in case.
The solution for this bug is Manually delete all the entries leave one for occurance. (alternatively if you search in adobe forms you can find a parser which deletes these redundant entries.)
Then upgared to latest ADLC or have respective patch.
Cheers,
Sai.

Will app sizes increase across the board because of the new iPad?

After the release of the new iPad on Wednesday, most apps figure to update their capabilities accommodate the new iPad's boosted resolution. And it appears that this process will result in an appreciable — if not significant — increase in app size. For example, Apple's Find My Friends app has gone from 14MB to 18MB in an update optimized for the new iPad Retina display. GarageBand went from 768MB to 801MB. Obviously, for users who download lots of apps (like me), these app size increases represent a strong argument against purchasing a new iPad with the minimum capacity of 16GB. What do you think?

People seem to be focusing on the size creep in apps, however, this is likely to be functionality driven more than due to the display for most apps. The real driver that I have found wrt storage space is videos. Now with the new display it is likely that people will move more to HD videos from iTunes, etc.. and this will be what drives the increase in storage required.
If your photos are compressed JPEGs then what you'll have to think about is how many videos you want to carry. There is also the possibility that with the new screen resolution that people start to store pictures at higher resolutions also which might drive storage.
Either way HD is a canny move by Apple as it will ultimately drive revenue growth through iTunes ;-)

Mailbox sizes increase dramatically after migration to exchange 2013

After I migrate mailboxes from exchange 2010 mailbox to 2013, the size increases.
For example -
On exchange 2010 I run get-mailboxstatistics: TotalItemSize : 6.706 GB
On exchange 2013: TotalItemSize : 9.374 GB
Anand_N

Hi Anand,
Please note that the actual space used by the mailbox database will not increase. This only refers to the attribution of space used by each individual mailbox. Actually, this happens due to the inclusion of all item properties into quota calculations, providing
a more accurate computation of space consumed by items within their mailbox. However, you can adjust mailbox size and increase mailbox quota by 40% before moving.
You can follow below cmdlet in order to increase "ProhibitSendQuota" value for all users that are not using the database quota defaults:
Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited -Filter {UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults -eq $False} |
Where {$_.ProhibitSendQuota -ne "unlimited"} | ForEach {Set-Mailbox $_ -ProhibitSendQuota "$($($_.ProhibitSendQuota).Value.ToMB() * 1.4)MB" -WhatIf}
You can have a look on this link to prevent the cause :
Mailbox migration from 2010 to 2013
Hope, this will be helpful for you.
