I need to compress an InDesign file to web-quality pdf but file size is still too big. Help!

Hi Bill,
It sounds like your document has a lot of pages and/or images in it.
Instead of using the normal InDesign > Export command to create a PDF, you may be able to reduce the file size by printing to a PostScript file, then distilling it to PDF using Acrobat Distiller.

I need to turn an indesign document into an editable pdf. how do I do that?

I need to turn an indesign document into an editable pdf, how do I do that?

InCopy is a solution, but it's not the only viable solution.
I update many books, from 200 pages to 3,200 pages every year, long document, very techincal tax books.
Some are done through InCopy, some are edited word files and rtfs exported from InDesign, some are marked up hard copies etc.
It totally depends on the clients technical ability with computers. Last year I taught over 30 authors of ours how to use InCopy. Some were receptive, some were dubious, some were totally clueless.
And on the dubious and totally clueless I spent more time troubleshooting their problems than I would normally with a Word/RTF option.
Some people are capable of switching to InCopy or even know how to use it in the first place. For anyone never used InDesign or InCopy before then it's a massive learning curve to jump from MS Word et al word processors, to InCopy.
I do agree, it is the best solution that's out there, technically. But that solution is not usable by a lot of people.
Yeh if the client is comfortable with InCopy then it's the way forward.
But in most cases, in my experience, it's faster and more efficient to Export the text as RTF and let the author update the RTF. That leaves you in control of reinserting the text and formatting it correctly. Rather than letting the client add bold, underline, italics, superscript, subscripts, crazy workarounds because they didn't know how to do it properly. And in the end you end up with 2 or 3 times the amount of work than is necessary, just cleaning up what the client has done in InCopy that does not suit the overall formatting of the publications.

Exporting a multipage InDesign document to single page PDFs but with unique filenames using scripts

Hi,
I'm using InDesign 5.5.
My goal is to export a multipage InDesign file into single page PDFs but each single PDF must be uniquely named.
For example;
InDesignFileName_487275123.00.pdf
InDesignFileName_734876882.00.pdf
...and so on.
I've spent a great deal of time searching online and the closest I have found is software called Output Factory which works fine.
The way Output Factory works is by placing a script label within a textframe on the master page in InDesign. Then whatever is typed into the text frame on each the separate pages defines the file name of each separate page.
However if I can solve this problem without any investment costs my boss will be very happy
I found PEU5 which works great for exporting into single pages, it's now a case of naming each single PDF but I know nothing how about to create a script but I get the gist of what they do. My understanding is that a script could solve the second half of my problem.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Thanks Peter but but I don't think this is what I'm looking for.
I did find this post http://forums.adobe.com/thread/841982 but I can't seem to get the script to work.
This is the error message I get when I run the script... any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Restart your phone by holding the sleep/wake button and the home button until it starts back up.

Nothing much. Different formats.

Try editing the original file. Resample pics to a lower resolution, check out other graphics, check table borders (eliminate any dotted lines or borders), check font usage. When generating PDF, try Save As (instead of Print > Save As), although I don't expect that'll make much difference.
Next, open the PDF in Preview, choose File > Save As, choose Format: PDF, Quartz Filterz: Reduce File Size. If that isn't enough, you can use ColorSync Utility to duplicate the Reduce File Size filter, and then edit it for a more aggressive size reduction. But keep in mind that size reduction means lower quality.

Compressor 4.1.2 BluRay Encoded File is too big - Help!

I just encode a 4 hours of HD footage using compressor's Bluray output (H.264 Video & AC3 Audio). It took near 10 hours of seemingly wasted time. I am working with 25g blurry discs and the H.264 File Size is 27.71 gigs. So now I need to re-encode.
How can I control the file size in this newest version of compressor? In the past compressor always knew to keep the h-264 file size under 25gigs. Any ideas?
Thank you!

If you visit the FCP X discussions forum you will several threads about Blu Ray issues. There are clearly some problems that affect some systems in unexpected ways

OK, so after many many hours! The file size still came in too big.
That's why I suggested twice that you do a short, 15 minute test…so you wouldn't have to waste al that time to find out it wasn't encoding the projected size.
Sure. Drop both he average and max bit rate. But do the 15 minute test first to confirm it will fiit. I don't know why it's overshooting but it is and there's some guess work involved,

What export options in Quicktime Pro or Final Cut Pro should I select to export HDV video in .MOV files to highest quality Windows-compatible files?

I have some HDV video files imported through iMovie to .MOV files with Apple Intermediate Codec.
I need to convert these to Windows compatible video files of the highest possible ( least loss) quality. What export options in Final Cut Pro or in Quicktime Pro should I select? The codex in the converted files must not be Apple Intermediate Codec, for which there is no Windows version.

Okay, I read the whole Flip4Mac website.
Flip4Mac is an application for Apple computers.
Perhaps my question was unclear. When I posed it I was thinking of asking somebody with an Apple shop to do the conversion for me, and wanted advice on settings for his QUicktime Pro /Final Cut Pro that would produce the highest quality Windows -compatible files.
The Windows version of Quicktime will not play Quicktime files with Apple Intermediate Codec. You get black screen video, although the audio does come through.
So here's what I need: I need a Windows application that will transcode Quicktime files in Apple Intermediate Codec, with no loss or very little loss, to WIndows-compatible files. All Windows, all the time. Thank you.

Isp file under WEB-INF call css file and jasript file

Hi , is that OK to call a jascript file or css file if the jsp file is under WEB-INF? How to do that?

You have to remember that all client side requests will be of 2 types: relative or absolute. If you refer to the file using the absolute URL of the resource (like http://www.my.com/application/resources/content.css) then you will have no problem.
If you use a relative URL, the URL has to be relative to the address that the client sees on the browser. The JSP may be in the WEB-INF directory, but the client doesn't see that. They put in a URL like http://www.my.com/application/process and the server included/forwarded to the WEB-INF content which the client doesn't see or know about. So when you use a relative URL, the URL has to be relative to http://www.my.com/application/process and not to http://www.my.com/application/WEB-INF/<...>/display.jsp where the JSP actually lives.

Please help, I have a vector file in Illustrator, with a raster (jpg) image in it. How do i save this as a small, web-quality pdf, yet preserve the raster quality of the picture??

Sorry, it's probably an easy question, but I'm a noob!

Tomy,
Presuming only web/similar use, you may Save a Copy (or Save As, but this may give some danger of ruining your AI document) as PDF as follows:
1) Use the setting Smallest File Size under General (this will give you RGB);
2) Set the desired raster image resolution(s) under Compression (you may also just use Do Not Downsample).
The (lack of) compression is crucial to the file size, of course.

Zip file is still too big

After I zipped a lots of photos in one file, it showed the original was 30.5 MB, the zipped file shows it at 30.4 MB.
Shouldn't the zipped file be significantly less than the original file?

As has been mentioned, JPEGs are already compressed and attempting
to compress them again will not achieve anything. I have seen cases
where attempting to compress compressed files actually creates a zip
file that is bigger than the original contents.
You are stuck with what you have. Why not copy them off to DVD if
you are trying to recover some disk space?

PLS files as web links won't open in ITunes; still say Winamp

Hello. I apologize if this has been answered, but I searched to the best of my ability, and none of the answers I saw applied to this question. They all seem to say that I should set ITunes up as my default Internet music player, but that option doesn't seem to exist any more. I've seen things that tell me to go to preferences -> advanced -> general, but that general tab isn't there any more. I can't find a setting for "internet music player", so I thought I'd ask here. I recently uninstalled Winamp because of various annoyances, knowing that ITunes can do everything it could do and more. However, now, pls links won't play from either IE9 or Firefox. I can download the pls file and play it that way by just double clicking it. I've used the "Default Programs" method recommended for Windows 7 to make ITunes the default player for these files, and it works perfectly until I try to click on a web link. When I save the pls file, the "File Type" combo box to the right of the file name edit box says "Winamp .pls file". I'm guessing that the browsers are checking some other area and are finding Winamp as the pls player, trying to find it, failing, and returning to the web page with no error. How can I fix this? ITunes works perfectly except for web links. I can't tell by trying other files because I have plugins that play all the other files I have found. How do I make ITunes do this?

Hi, Ed2345. I apologize for clicking the "Correct Answer" button accidentally. Firefox already has ITunes listed as the default player for "Winamp playlist files" which are .pls files. I've gone to a few radio stations, some with AAC streams and some with mp3 streams and the results have been the same. ITunes should be starting for these Winamp playlist files, but that's not happening. How can I add the equivalent of a file extension setting in the browser? These seem to be organized by MIME type. Can I add an extension handler, or perhaps is there a MIME type missing? If so, how do I add it in Firefox? I don't see a "New" button.
V/R,
Brad
