How do I redice the file size?

Hi:
I'm using Pages 1.0.2 for the first time. I created a nice 2-page file with the intention of emailing such a file on a monthly basis.
Unfortunately, the finished file is HUGE (15MB), making it impossible to email.
I tried Export > HTML format. Surprisingly, when I open the new Safari HTML page, alignment hasn't been preserved. Images are all over the place.
Is Pages an applicable app with which I can email its finished files?
If so, how can I shrink the file size substantially?
If not, what optional apps are as stunning as Pages but aren't humungous?
TIA,
Warren

Warren,
Pages isn't the application you want to use to create HTML, despite its marketing by Apple. You've already bumped into its limitation -- it often scrambles formatting.
But you can easily save your document as a PDF file, and reduce its size at the same time. Click on File > Print, then in the Copies & Pages menu, select Colorsync. In the Quartz Filter menu, select Reduce File Size.
Another thing to consider before you've even gotten this far: since you're emailing this file, it's not necessary to have high-resolution images. Oftentimes, that, more than anything else, will bloat a file. So you might want to use an image-editing app to decrease the resolution of your images.

How can I increase the file size limit for outgoing mail. I need to send a file that is 50MB?

You can't change it, and I suspect few email providers would allow a file that big. Consider uploading it to a service like Dropbox, then email the link allowing the recipient to download it.

How do i reduce the file size on a pdf document?

The only way to reduce the size is by editing the original document to reduce its size and then converting again to PDF.

How do i determine the file size of a down load before i download it?

I have checked the update page and even checked more and can find no reference to file size. I'm using a hotspot and some of the downloads cause me to go over my limit and incur extra charges. I apperciate your help.

When I import my Sony video, which is in m2ts format, the file size is a few times larger. This affects the volume of clips for creating the blu-ray or DVD discs. How can I squeeze the file size without sacrificing the quality of output?

Thanks. I do not have the experience on burning discs from iMovie for the movie after editing (ie for video discs players). It seems that i cannot find the relevant command in the tool bar for this purpsoe. Would you please show me the way?
The command is gone because iDVD has been discontinued by Apple. After Apple discontinued iDVD they removed the iDVD burning link from iMovie. I still use iDVD sometimes, only because I have an old copy.

You have mentioned about Handbrake as a converter. What is the RF no. (under Constant Quality) meant? It seems that the smaller the no. is, the better quality will be. What is the optimal no.? or should we use the Average Bitrate? Again, what is the best rate? Furthermore, which format is more suitable or the best: H264 or mpeg 2/4?
I don't know what RF means. When I have used HandBrake, I've used presets that apply to what I want to do, so I don't know the meaning of each individual setting. However, it appears that many of them are listed in the HandBrake User's Guide that is linked from the Help menu in the program:

For iMac, except iMovie, what other software is the best for the amateur? I have read Photoshop. Can this support m2ts files and user friendly?
Photoshop is not amateur-level software, and although it can edit a video, it cannot burn a DVD. Unfortunately, because I still use iMovie, I haven't tried anything else. You might want to read the reviews of various DVD-burning applications in the Mac App Store.
And maybe another forum member will jump in and help us here!

How can i find the file size before downloading

I am trying to decide if I want to download a tv show [Doctor Who] in standard definition or high definition. How can I see the file size before I purchase the show from iTunes?

1. That's only getting the file size of the Preview.
2. Click on a photo to select it. Then click on the info button. You can get the dimensions and the file size in the top of the pane
Note that the final size of any image will depend on the export settings you choose.

How can I reduce the file size of 3 videos?...

...without losing quality? These three videos are as follows in terms of size and length of the video:
1) 148MB 19minutes
2) 357MB 18minutes
3) 164MB 14minutes
I tried using a video converter to reduce the bit rate in order to reduce the size, which i know affects the quality, but that did not actually work to reduce the file size this time.
I thought perhaps i should ask my forum friends for help on this matter. How,if at all, can I get all three of these MOV's under 100mb or to a total of 300mb for all 3 and preserve quality? It has to be able to play on an ipad (MOV or MP4). Thanks for your help!

I think that the point that David was trying to make is that reducing the amount of information originally provided by a product or part of it in order to make it smaller will inevitably reduce the efficiency of the product itself.
However, you don't have access to the original masters? Then you might be after a good compromise, meaning a video that can display decent quality while playing at its original frame size (say on the web).
Does this mean that there is no real way to reduce the size without losing quality?
If your target is the web there is a way to reduce the file size and still make it look decent enough. Re-compression means loss of source information but video compression is an art on its own and can produce some amazing results!
Not without testing though.
Now back to my previous post, use Compressor to try to reduce the file size and compare the result quality. Trust your eyes and be honest with yourself.

How do I reduce the file size of a pdf to email?

I have a 260 MB pdf file generated from Photoshop 6. I can't seem to reduce the size in Photoshop. Is there anyway to reduce the pdf outside of Photoshop? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Scott,
That's a pretty big PDF! You'll have to reduce it pretty dramatically to attach it to an email. But, you can use Acrobat to reduce the file size. Please see this video for pointers: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-to-compress-a-pdf-file
If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it for free for 30 days. For more information, see www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
Best,
Sara

How do I increase the file size of a photo?

I have an iMac with Mavericks installed and took a photo with my iPhone 5 that I would like to increase to a 2 MB JPEG file size. How do I do this?

Export with higher quality (file menu ==> export - see the use tip on exportign for details on options)
However this will not change anything about the photo except the amound of disk sopace it uses - the photo is stil exactly the same no matter how large you make the file by reducing compression

How do I minimise the file size of a photo?

I am trying to find a way to miimize the file size of a photo so I can use s a avicon. Does anyone know how to do this?

Select the pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export
Two settings will impact on the File Size:
Jpeg Quality refers to the amount of compression applied to the file. Size refers to the dimensions (length by breadth) if the image.

How do I reduce the file size of my pictures

I am running out of space on my hard drive and notice that my iphoto library contains over 5000 pictures and is about 15GB. This is about 3MB per picture. I checked and lots are over 10MB. Most pictures I only print in 10x15, the largest i ever printed was A4 sized. I guess i don't need to keep such large files. These cameras are now set to make pictures with too many pixels I guess...
does anyone know of a way to reduce the size of all my picture files?
thanks

1. Reducing the file sizes of your pictures will not just reduce their quality when you print, it wll also negatively affect their quality no matter how you view them. Remember the screen quality on your next mac will be better than this one, and even more so on the one after.
2. The simplest solution to a size issue is to store the Library on an external disk, You can do this with iTunes and iMovie too.
3. If you really want to reduce the quality of your photos then there is no way to do that in iPhoto. Here's what you'd have to do:
Export the Pics from iPhoto (File -> Export) and in the Export dialogue make your choices on Jpeg Quality (the amount of compression used) and size (the dimensions)
Delete the pics from iPhoto
Import the ones who have exported back to iPhoto.
Give away your camera and get a lower quality one

How can I reduce the file size when saving a psd as a pdf

I have a psd with graphics and text, it is 8.5 x 11, 300 ppi
I flatten the image and go to save as .pdf I un-check all of the options in general.
In compression, I have tried a dozen different combinations and the way I've found to get a document that is not pixelated or blurry is to use jpeg 2000 > lossless or jpeg > maximum.
So I have a high quality document but the file sizes are around 900 kb.
I have downloaded other people's documents of the exact same type and size (8.5 x 11, 300 ppi) that I am making and viewed them in Photoshop, they are not pixelated or blurry and their file sizes are 300 kb or even less than 200 kb
How are they doing this?!

Delete all unused, invisible layers.
Sometimes zip compression is better than jpg compression (in the pdf output settings). Zip is lossless, and works better with non gradient colour or no images.
Flattening the image before you save it to pdf can reduce the file size if you are using jpg compression.
Post a preview of your pdf and we can comment further on how to reduce the file size.

How can I keep the file size small when I render a .mov file to video in PS entended CS4?

Hi,
I haven't worked with video in Photoshop before and I am having the following issue:
I imported a .mov file into photoshop. I trimmed the file by moving the start and finish points to the relevant points on the timeline. I then cropped the image to get rid of unwanted footage on the edge of the screen. I then selected export - render video. On the panel I chose to select only "currently selected frames" as the range and I chose "Quick Time Movie" as the file type. When I check the properties of my newly rendered movie the file size has increased by several times. The file sizes are now much too large.
I know that I must need to alter some of the render settings but having tried altering many of the settings the result is always the same - a very large file size that is much bigger than my oringinal file.
If anyone can let me know how I can carry out a simple crop & trim on a .mov file and end up with a smaller more compact file after rendering the video I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Hi Marion,
Thanks very much for your message. I have downloaded that program and it's definitely handy for examining the details of the original file. You mentioned in your message about not having to recode the file - The file I'm editing is originally from a Q3 Zoom video recorder and I can use their in-built software (handyware) to trim the file - this doesn't recode the file and so the file size just reduces by the required amount. Unfortunately there is no facility to crop the file with this software - I've looked for other software that would allow cropping without having to recode the file but I haven't found anything suitable for a simple procudure like this - do you know of any software that allows you to crop a file without recoding? Thanks.

How can I reduce the file size in Adobe Reader 9?

My wordpress isn't allowing me to upload files larger than 2MB. How do I resize my PDF in Adobe Reader 9 so that it is <2MB?
Thank you very much for the help!

In Acrobat, open a PDF file.
-Choose Document > Reduce File Size.
-Select Acrobat 8.0 And Later for file compatibility, and click OK.
When you choose the compatibility level, be aware that the newer the version of Acrobat that you choose, the smaller the file. If you choose compatibility with Acrobat 9, however, you should be sure that your intended audience does indeed have version 9 installed.
Name the modified file. Click Save to complete the process.
It is always a good idea to save a file using a different name so that you don't overwrite an unmodified file.
Acrobat automatically optimizes your PDF file, a process that may take a minute or two. Any anomalies are displayed in the Conversion Warnings window. If necessary, click OK to close the window.
Minimize the Acrobat window. View the size of the reduced file. The file size is smaller.
You can repeat steps stated above using different compatibility settings to see how they affect file size. note that some settings might actually increase the file size.
PDF Optimizer offers more opportunities to control quality trade-offs.
Choose File > Close to close your file.
