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.

  • Why Such a Huge Photoshop File Size Increase When Saving In CC from other versions?

    Hello,
    I have limited experience in Photoshop, and am working with a file with two other people.  We are creating web comic pages.  The line artist and colorist are both using CS 6.  I have CC.  The file I receive from them is around 238MB.  If I open it and make even the slightest edit, Photoshop will not save it as it warns that the file size is too large (greater than 2GB!).  How does this happen?  Is it something in my preferences that causes 10x increase in file size?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for replying. First I didn't have this problem in the beginning. I do the same in CS5 and I can do it with no problem.

  • Problem executing an Online Form in Web DynPro(Adobe Form)

    Gurus,
    I am trying to create an Online Form in Web DynPro(Adobe Form), i could successfully create the form and deploy it.
    But when i executed, i am getting the below error.

    Hello  Markus,
    let's say I have two systems. One - X - installed J2EE+ABAP and configured WD pdfobject WS proxy to point to second system - Y - with correctly configured ADS (inculding Redaer Rights Credential). Do I have to setup this Reader Rights Credentila also on system X ?? Do I have to setup something else on system X to work with Interactive forms in WD Java on system X ?
    PS: Our ABAP calls from X to ADS on Y are working okay, but I didn't try WD ABAP as basis is too low.
    Thanx, Richard.

  • Multiple Adobe Forms Output in single Adobe Form

    Hi Experts,
    When we login to portal a list of applications will be available in a table, each record contains details of the application. when we click on first field of any record in that table it will display one adobe form. Under the table i have a button print, suppose if i select some 5 records in the table and when i click that print button then all the 5 adobe forms output should display as a single adobe form with page breaks. I mean after completion of first adobe form output, the next adobe form output should start in a fresh page. i could able to display single adobe form but the problem is with multiple adobe forms output in single form. Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Venkat

    Hi,
    The only way to solved your issue is to change your forms and give it all necessary information in several table . Like this you can manage break page depending of content.
    For example, you form interface contains one header structure and a table of item . If you want to have several form into one result , change the interface by passing an internal table of header information . Then in the layout you have to use the different table to get the result you want .
    Unfortunately there is no solution actually with AdObe Forms in SAP to merge several PDF into one .
    Hope this help you.
    Regards

  • Attach 2 adobe form with the first adobe form

    Hi All, 
         Can we merge the multiple adobe form into a single adobe form in CRM. 
    I appended both the adobe form content in a single internal table and tried to download PDF file using FM "GUI_DOWNLOAD" I was able to see only the first form. Could any one guide to solve this issue.
    Regards,
    S.Balaji.

    Hi Balaji,
    You can concatenate more than one form together if you us Adobe-forms for the processing. Just have a look inside the functiongroup. It is very similar to the Smartforms solutions...
    Of course, you have to process the pdf-forms by yourself and not want to concatenate given ones, but that should be the case.
    Regards

  • Problem when i transported  DTP from DEV to QA

    I am facing a problem when i transported  DTP from DEV to QA   It is not in the folder were it have to be,but i can see it in RSBKDTP table of QA

    Hi,
    One info regarding DTP, Technical name will get differ from system to system through out the landscape ( Dev, QA, Prod) . So you have to search with Description of the DTP instead of technical name.

  • 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 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.

  • HP LaserJet MFP M476dw paper size mismatch when copying or scanning from ADF

    We have HP Color LaserJet MFP M476dw that has an issue when copying or scanning from the ADF. 
    Put a single A4 sheet in the ADF and choose copy, with all settings correct & no resizing, and the output copy is moved down the page (increased top marging by a couple of inches).
    My initial thoughts were a paper size issue (e.g. treating A4 as Letter or vice versa) but all settings look correct.  I have even done a reset and started over and the problem remains.
    If I take the original and place it on the flatbed and copy from there with all the same settings then it works fine.
    There is a similar issue when scanning from the ADF.  Again, scanning from the flatbed works fine.
    I've tried all I can think of.  Does anyone have any further suggestions?  Could it be a fault in the ADF?

  • Interactive form callable object using adobe form manager

    Hi,
      I have several interactive forms in an application that is created using Adobe Form Manager. Is there a way to create a callable object from this application and use it in the Guided Procedure?
    Regards,

    Hi Andre,
         If I use Adobe Livecycle Designer, I need to create the whole application from the scratch which will take too much time. 
         So, I'm finding out if there is a way to reuse the application that's already available.
    Thanks a lot for the reply,

  • Can I download my form before you stop Adobe Forms?

    I'd like to download my form, but it says I have to upgrade my service. Since Adobe Forms is going away, couldn't you allow us to download our form?

    Feedback was given.
    A little more feedback.
    Maybe the download link should now be http://support.apple.com/downloads/
    and then there's http://www.info.apple.com/support/oldersoftwarelist.html
    Reading the chart, the word "to" sounds backward.
    It seems to me it should read "from".
    example:
    7.5.5 from any previous OS.

    8.1 from 8.0
    8.6 from 8.5 and 8.5.1

  • We want to share a staff eval form between six different schools, but we only want the school principals to see their own evals, not the evals from other schools.  When Adobe Forms had the Teams subscription option this was possible.  Any help would be gr

    We worked with another school district that used the Teams Subscription features, but that is no longer avaiable.  Is it possible to do the same now?  We have an Adobe Pro Subscription.  Thank you for any help.  Chris

    Well, I have an update.
    As of 8.45 this evening, nearly four hours after posting the above, the original purchaser of the software in question received the following email (clearly I've removed sensitive info)
    "With this response, we believe your issue is resolved and have therefore closed your case xxxxxxxxxxx.  If your support case has not been completed to your satisfaction or you should you need to contact us on this issue again, please reference your case number. You can reopen your case up to 14 days after it has been closed.
    Hello xxxxx,
    Thank you for contacting Adobe and we apologize for not being able to answer your request in a timely manner. We appreciate your patience in this regard.
    This email is regarding your request to transfer the license for the software Adobe Design Premium CS 5.5.
    Xxxxx, we have transferred the serial number xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx from your Adobe account the account associated with the email address xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx as per your request hence closed this case."
    ...and I have checked my Adobe account and can confirm that indeed the licence has finally been transferred. :O
    The system does work ...eventually.
    I clearly needed to write that shirty forum post above months ago. Adobe Support may well have actually done what they should have done months ago, but it still doesn't stop them being useless and needlessly protracting a fairly simple process and wasting both my time and the original purchasers time.
    I also can't help but wonder if Tweeting the forum support page URL directly to Adobe and Adobe Support helped them extract a digit from their collective rectum, I guess we'll never know?
    Adobe, sort your support out, it aint rocket surgery!
