IC Compression optimization

Hi all,
can some experts give me tips to optimize the InfoCube compression process.
Does it helps to clear the indexes and then restructurate them ?
thx in advance

As far as i know it is recomended first to delete the indexes, than to compress only the initial update (use F4 for that) than compress all the other updates .
Hope it helps...

Compress/Optimize Pdf using Adobe LiveCycle Pdf Generator in my c# console application

Hello,
I am creating an console application in C# that will optimize / compress pdf which contain high defination images. I have the pdf which have size above 500 MB i need to compress that kind of pdf files. I have seen the option to save as optimize pdf in Adobe professional software but i want to do that programmatically in my c# application.
Now I have asked this question in Acrobat SDK Forums as well and there they have told me to check Adobe LiveCycle Software Here is the link for that : http://forums.adobe.com/message/5468065.
Now If i want to go with Adobe Livecycle my question is.
Can I call or use adobeLivecycle pdf optimizer libraries in my c# application.
Let me know what i can do to integrate in my c# application

The API call is here.

optimizePDF
public OptimizePDFResult optimizePDF(Document inputDocument, String fileTypeSettings, Document inSettingsDoc) throws ConversionException, InvalidParameterException, FileFormatNotSupportedException
Optimizes the input PDF document by reducing its size. This method also converts the PDF document to the PDF version specified in the optimization parameters. This method supports the same optimization settings as Adobe Acrobat.
Parameters:
inDoc - This mandatory parameter contains an instance of the Document whose content is to be optimized. For this object, it is recommended that you either use the appropriate Document constructor if you have access to the file, or that you use the com.adobe.idp.Document.setAttribute() method if you only have access to the stream.
fileTypeSettings - Name of a file type settings instance that is defined on the LiveCycle server. The LiveCycle Administration Console window for Generate PDF lets you view the currently defined file type settings. It also lets you create custom file type settings. If the inSettingsDoc parameter specifies a non-NULL value, this parameter is ignored. If this parameter and the inSettingsDoc parameter are both null, this method uses the default file type settings instance that is defined on the LiveCycle server.
inSettingsDoc - file2pdf-settings XML file that contains file type settings to use for optimization, including the file type settings used by this method. For information about this file, see the description for the createPDF2() method.
Returns:
An object that exposes a method for getting the optimized PDF document.
Throws:
ConversionException
InvalidParameterException
Parameters:
inDoc - This mandatory parameter contains an instance of the Document whose content is to be optimized.

While defining a columnar table, what is the purpose of column store type

Hi folks
I have two questions related to columnar table definition.
1. What is the purpose of column store type.
While defining a columnar table, what is the purpose of column store type (STRING ,CS_FIXEDSTRING,CS_INT etc) , when I define a table using the UI I see that the column is showing STRING but when I goto EXPORT SQL it does not show. Is this mandatory or optional ?
2.VARCHAR Vs. CHAR - In the UI when I create the table I do not see the CHAR option , but I do see lot of discussion where people are using CHAR for defining the columnar table. Not sure why UI dropdown does not show it. I also read that we should avoid using VARCHAR as those columns are not compressed, is that true, I thought the column store gives compression for all the columns. Are there certain columns which cannot be compressed .
Please let me know where I can find more information about these two questions.
Poonam

Hi Poonam
the CS_-data types are the data types that are used internally in the column store. They can be supplied but it is not at all required or recommended to do so.
SAP HANA will automatically use the correct CS_-data type for every SQL data type in your table definitions.
To be very clear about this: don't use the CS_-data types directly. Just stick to the SQL data types.
Concerning VARCHAR vs CHAR: fixed character data types are not supported anymore and don't show up anymore in the documentation.
I have no idea why you believe that VARCHAR columns are not compressed but this is just a myth.
create column table charcompr (fchar char(20), vchar varchar(20));
insert into charcompr (
    select lpad ('x', to_int (rand()*20), 'y'), null from objects cross join objects);
-- same data into both columns
update charcompr set vchar = fchar;
-- perform the delta merge and force a compression optimization
merge delta of charcompr;
update charcompr with parameters ('OPTIMIZE_COMPRESSION' ='FORCE');
-- check the memory requirements
select COLUMN_NAME, MEMORY_SIZE_IN_TOTAL, UNCOMPRESSED_SIZE, COUNT, DISTINCT_COUNT, COMPRESSION_TYPE
from m_cs_columns where table_name ='CHARCOMPR'
COLUMN_NAME    MEMORY_SIZE_IN_TOTAL    UNCOMPRESSED_SIZE   COUNT   DISTINCT_COUNT COMPRESSION_TYPE
FCHAR       3661                    70285738            6692569 20              RLE
VCHAR       3661                    70285738            6692569 20              RLE
We see: compression and memory requirements are the same for both fixed and variable character sizes.

Acrobat X (performance) and (probably) security issues

Hello,
I'm new with Acrobat X and there are two main problems:
1) I have lots of large OCR scanned documents (PDF/A). I(!!) am the owner of the documents! There is no security build in. When I view the security settings (document properties), all actions are allowed, no restrictions. However, when I want to "compress" (optimize) the pdf document, Acrobat X says: not allowed, I should change the security settings. But there is nothing to change ... when I created the documents I have set all security features to off , all things allowed (but in Acrobat-X the document settings, which show that all actions are allowed, are - on the other hand - not changeable, fields are locked). What can I do ??
2) Performance ! When I save large pdf documents (all such OCR scans of pdf/a-type) to another location (hoping that this will "optimize" the file) the saving process (to a local HD and a 8 GB dual ciore machine) takes 1/2 hour or more (not 1/2 minute!!, what I expected ...). As I have hunderts of those files it can takes weeks or even months to re-save all these documents with Acrobat-X. This must be a malfunction !? Or what else could I do ??
Thanks.

Hi, thanks. Very helpful !

If you're viewing a PDF/A document in PDF/A View Mode, all editing is disabled. You can turn it off but are advised to do so only when necessary
OK, but these are MY documents: PDF/A was only an option when scanning - but size is a much more important criterium.
Hope, the "performance" topic of my posting is as easy to solve as the pdf/a issue.
Thanks again.

JPG images bloat CFDocument PDF 10X

We're creating PDF files using the CFDocument tag. We're
including JPG images in the document. The JPG files are 1MB in file
size total but the resulting PDF file is 11+ MEGs (10X). I've been
searching the forums and Internet but I'm having trouble finding
anything about this. All I could find on the topic is something
about duplicate color spaces but it didn't solve anything.
Note that if I open the file in Acrobat, I can
compress/optimize it down to less than 1 MEG but that's not a
practical solution programming-wise. I wish there was a way to call
Acrobat from CF to take advantage of the optimization feature.
Does anyone know of a fix or work around for this? We'll be
generating thousands of PDFs and this will be a big problem. Do you
know of an alternate way to generate PDF files from CF. OR how
about a command line utility or CFX for compressing PDF files?

How do you use it, as a service on the server watching a
folder and doing bulk optimizations, or file-by-file from
CF?

Optimizing SWC Help

Hey,
I am trying to optimize a few library projects I have for deployment. I have read Optimizing RSL SWF Files and have run this command on my decompressed library swc file folder (library.swc plus catalog.xml):
optimizer -keep-as3-metadata="Bindable,Managed,ChangeEvent,NonCommittingChangeEvent,Transient" -input /path/to/swc_folder/library.swf -output /path/to/swc_folder/output.swf
It cut the swc file down in size by more than half, which is great! Still haven't used it yet, that's the next mission.
But my question is, how do I manage the assets/resource-bundles in the decompressed folder, many of which I don't want. The unix command "ls -Rla" shows all the files in the decompressed swc:
./swc_folder:
catalog.xml
library.swf
locale
mx
spark
./swc_folder/locale:
en_US
./swc_folder/locale/en_US:

First, I am not using any of those pngs in my project, so how do I get rid of them? And second, for the resource bundles, if I have 5 library projects all using the same bundles (plus a few of their own), how do I extract them out of this swf/swc and make them all reference the same one, so I can cut down on size/duplication? Can't seem to find this kind of detail anywhere.
Thanks so much for your help, really looking forward to some good compression/optimization
Best,
Lance

Hi Lance,
The first step is understanding the difference between SWC and SWF files.
SWC files are for authoring - they contain all possible information needed by tooling and for authoring. This includes debug symbols, icons for the components panel, embedded resources, etc.
SWF files are for deployment - they only contain the minimal information needed at runtime.You can choose more information, like debug symbols and/or line information, which will affect the size of the SWF. The optimzier tool can be used to strip this extra information out of a SWF file.
RSLs are just SWF files that are loaded at runtime. SWZ files are just signed RSLs.
I would not be concerned about the size of SWC files. SWF files are a different story, and should be made as small as possible.
Hope this helps,
Glenn

TurBo or Not TurBo: That is the Question

Good morning (or 'afternoon to my European consultants).
In my search for a cheap ISP (related thread
i NetZero and The Browser Question
still active and needed), I was steered to FasterMac.net, which claims that for a few dollars more than their standard product, they'll have me surfing along at warp speed. Here's how they explain it:
i TurboMac Dial-Up Service combines FasterMac.net Unlimited Dial-Up
i services with the TurboMac Web Accelerator. TurboMac powered by
i SlipStream compresses, optimizes and streamlines web content after it
i leaves the server, providing a dramatic improvement in web-surfing speed,
i which is important for dial-up users who either don't have access to high-
i speed cable or DSL services, or don't want to pay the higher prices charged
i for broadband services. Customers surfing the Internet with these
i technologies will find that web pages download up to six times faster than
i traditional dialup.
Sounds good to me, but . . .
Is it too good to be true? Does web accelerator technology really work? Does it change one's web experience dramatically enough to justify additional monthly expense? If indeed the technology is valid, do the benefits apply no matter which browser one uses?
I await your answers. (I love it when you talk tech to me.)
b And in case you missed the Awards Show last night:
BonnieB was presented the prestigious Apple Discussions Level 1 Award!!!!
i "Gosh, (blush) I never thought I'd win, so I didn't prepare a speech . . . but
i . . . I want to thank the Apple Academy, and mostly all the Discussion
i Members who made this possible. You know who you are, and I'll never
i forget you. Let's do lunch. Kisses!"

On the issue of the accelerator-type services, there are some situations where the 'up to 5 times faster....' advertising is true. The problem is that it is not something you can count on in advance. If your browsing habits fit the nature of the caching and compressing activities of the ISP, then you'll notice an improvment, if not, then what you'll ntoice would be rather inconsistent - sometimes faster, sometimes not. Whether it's worth it is up to you and in part depends on how much web browsing you do and how impatient you get, but with the limit placed by the nature of dialup, I suspect many people who find it a benefit to begin with may actually get used to it and not see the advantages after a bit of use.
As to browsers - I used Safari right from the date Apple released it. Back then it was genuinely fast and a refreshing change from all (or at least many) of the other browsers that had tended to get more and more bloated and less and less responsive. The problem is that Safari is now pretty much in the same boat - it is far slower than it used to be. I have an old G4 that I use to boot into various version sof MacOS, and Safari running under a late variation of Jaguar is markedly more responsive and draws pages noticably faster than Safari running under Tiger.
In addition, Safari has had some memory issues (it has grabbed increasing amounts of system memory as you leave it running, even if it's not active), resulting in the system slowing down overall. Quitting Safari and restarting resolves this, but was nuisance enough that I looked around for an alternative.
I tried Firefox and didn't like it. It's clunky and not particularly responsive either. I've tried others such as Opera, and usually get the feeling that the authors have made it different just to BE different. Ultimately, I now use Shiira - a browser that uses my Safari bookmarks and which was based on the same rendering engine with the intention of making a browser that was what Safari used to be. It's a bit quirky, but works well, and behaves itself in all the ways I want a browser to behave!

SPA3000: Lowest MTU size

I can let my DSL-modem lower the MTU size as soon as I receive of make a call.
This is done with IPQoS EF Timer.
I want to do this so other heavy traffic like P2P-clients get slowed down when I am calling. I set MTU at 512 but my call gets disconnected after about 25 secs. when I set it at 768 my call doesn't get disconnected.
I would like to know the official lowest MTU size the SPA3000 can work with.
I add to this that it's not a VoIP Service Provider issue as I made a call with another ATA, same MTU setting (512), and the call didn't get disconnected.
SPA-3000
2.0.1(5673)
3.1.20(GW)
Thanks in advance.
Message Edited by caesu on 11-26-2007 12:40 AM

I will try to rephrase what I already have said.
First, for the UDP datagrams, fragmentation is not supported.
If you have to send 501 bytes UDP datagram, with MTU=500 it will get dropped. No excuse. No fragmentation. Packet is lost. If it's important SIP packet to keep the "session-in-progress" this may cause session drop.
Second, the SIP UDP datagrams can be large. As it's plain text messages, there is no compression / optimization on those datagrams. Within the SIP language boundaries, SIP device is free to compose the SIP UDP datagrams as needed. I have seen logs/debugs with the SIP UDP datagrams close to 1300 bytes.
Third, SIP UDP datagrams are sent moreless asynchronous comparing to RTP stream. At the beginning of the call, device(s) and VoIP/SIP switchboard will use the SIP dialog to initiate the phone call. After this, the RTP UDP datagrams stream is exchanged moreless independently on the RTP port(s), while device(s) continue to speak with switchboard with the SIP messages. Those messages may bring info like : ringing, call connected, call ended, call waiting on the line, invitation to another call / conference.
Fourth, for priorizing the RTP datagrams over other traffic, the RTP packets are (can be) marked by SIP VoIP device with certain TOS type. This TOS type can be used by QOS-enabled routers to pass the RTP stream first, SIP second (different TOS) and other traffic last. Using MTU for this purpose which MTU is NOT intended to may cause you unpredictable troubles anytime.
Fifth, I realy doubt you can configure SPA-3000's MTU size. I did not find it in the configuration. So very likely, SPA-3000 sends all packets as needed, but your MTU-limited device does not transfer the longer datagrams further, as fragmentation not possible. As UDP works without ACK mechanism on IP level, the SPA-3000 device will never notice the datagrams are dropped on the transport path.
You shall collect the SIP debugs (SPA-3000 can generate them to syslog server) and possibly the capture of the network traffic (for example using wireshark) between the SPA-3000 and your MTU-limited device (using port mirroring and/or HUB to ensure all packets are sent to all cards).
Here, compare the SIP debugs and SIP datagrams in the wireshark to determine, how big the SIP UDP datagrams are, and which SIP message is realy not transferred. You may collect two sets, one with standard MTU, one with limited MTU and you shall get your answer how big the SIP message realy is.

Pages of PDF not loading on iPad

Aloha,
I am having issues with certain pages of a PDF Textbook not loading on my iPad; this is my first semester using only e-books and after running into this issue i will never use an e-book again.
The PDF in question is a 470mb Biology textbook which is saturated with pictures. What is happening is that a page will load (pg 469), but the next page will not load no matter how long i let it sit, and the proceeding page loads just fine then from that point certain pages don't load either. I have reinstalled Reader on iPad, i have tried compressing the PDFs with preview AND acrobat but neither change the size no matter which option i use (compress/optimize).
Please help, this is infuriating.

Hi SurfEatSleepRepear,
The issue seems to be related to the document. Does the pdf open fine on the desktop?
Do other pdfs work fine?
Regards,
Rave

Cfdocument image pagebreak

Hi,
I want to print pictures from my site, using the CFdocument
tag.
Basically, I want to generate a page with header, some
metadata about the picture (title, description, copyright) and
finally the picture.
Everything works fine except for large picture (height) or
when I have too much metadata before the picture.
In this case I have the datas in one page and the picture in
the second.
Is it possible to automatically scale the picture so that it
fits in the first page ?
The size of the picture AND the ammount of metadata are
varying depending the picture, so I need to scale the picture in
the free space that left just after the metadata.
Is anybody have a hint ?
Thanks

Sadly that won't help us because we're using CF 8. I wonder
if there's a similar set of jar files in CF 8. Maybe someone from
Adobe will respond...
I tried simplifying my example to just the CFDocument tags
with a single img tag in-between. The jpg file is 192 KB but the
PDF ends up being 1,844KB, about 10X the size of the content.
Note that the resultant PDF compresses down to about 159 KB
using Acrobat or another optimization utility but it won't work for
us to have to manually optimize each pdf before sending...
If you/anyone knows of a function/utility/com/library to do
pdf compression/optimization that might a acceptable
work-around...

Full optimize with Compress DB throws error

Hi,
We are using SAP BPC 7.0 MS version... We have an SSIS package scheduled every morning for a Full Optimize with Compress DB. For the past few days this package had been failing after running for 2 hours, with the following error message :
[Error][OSoft.Services.Application.OptimizeManage.OptimizeManageCtrl]
When we tried doing a Full optimize without compress DB or Index defragmentation from the Admin Console, it completes successfully.
But when we try doing a Full Optimize with Compress database checked, it runs for about 2 hours and throws the following error :
An error has occurred during processing
Error Message : Thread was being aborted
After the above process it leaves all the records in the fact table with source column 1.
Can anyone please share your ideas on this issue if you have faced this before and a way to fix this.
We do not have bad or invalid records in the fact table.

Hi,
Please recheck if you have any calculated members or invalid dimension members.
Calculated members will create such problems.
Please check you have enough free disk space on your server which has Database and Analysis Services.
Please make sure you have enabled 3GB support in Everest Update component, if you have more than 4GB RAM in your Application server.
Please check if you have setup the Analysis Server settings with a minimum recommended value for the
Threadpool \ Query \ MaxThreads parameter.
The recommended value is higher of 10 or (number of Analysis Services Databases + twice the number of processor cores).
If you have 4 dual core processors in your Analysis Services server (8 cores) and 5 Analysis Services DB, then you must set the value as 5+(2*8)=21.
The source column will be updated as zero when the full optimization is complete. It remains as 1 since your full optimization is not completed.
Since it says thread is being aborted, I believe the Analysis Services server settings change might resolve your issue.

SQL index of facttable disappears after full optimize + compress db

Hello all,
I have a customer that is using Outlooksoft 4.2sp3 for more then a year now. Every weekend a full optimize + compress database is running.
Since 4 weeks, the SQL index of the fact table is disappeared after a full optimize+compress. They use a custom index and have about 95.000.000 records in the facttable.
Does anyone have a clue why this index is deleted and perhaps a solution?
Kind Regards,
Alwin Berkhout
Edited by: Alwin Berkhout on Apr 20, 2008 9:50 PM

Joost, Sorin,
I have created server extensions for the database that has these problems. Now for the first time since 5 weeks, after the optimize, the indexes are still there (or automatically recreated).
Thanks for the tips.
Strange thing though: why didn't I had this problem before?

Question re optimize/cleanup/compress in Standard

Hello,
I have Acrobat 9 pro on one computer, and Acrobat 9 standard on another. When scanning, some combination of settings (I can't figure out why) is causing automatic compression. In pro, I just go into cleanup and make sure the entire document is not being compressed. I am trying to find a similar setting in Standard. Any ideas?
thanks

Hello,
When scanning to PDF using Acrobat Pro there is a configuration dialog that can be edited by the user.
I do not know if Acrobat Standard has this.
With Acrobat Pro -
File > Create PDF > From Scanner > Configure Presets
In the Configure Presets dialog you can edit the value for a number of parameters.
Select scanner, preset for documents (B/W | Grayscale | Color) or color images, input parameters (color mode, resolution, etc.), run OCR (and select one of the three available OCR modes) as well as configure for upfront optimization of the image.
Optimization parameters such as compression and filtering can be set.
If you do not edit the "Configure Presets" to something you want then the defaults are used.
Another place for user configuration is in the Preferences.
In the Category "Convert to PDF", select TIFF and then click the Edit button.
A dialog appears. In this dialog you can provide values for some parameters.
Again, this is with Professional.
In Standard, look to see what is available from the File menu and in the Preferences.
By providing desired upfront configuration you can significantly reduce post-processing activities.
A good, recent on demand eSeminar on Scanning and OCR that discusses the above is at AUC.
http://www.acrobatusers.com/learning_center/eseminars/on_demand
Select David Mankin's "Scanning and OCR".
Be well...

How can we compress SWF files and optimize tool?

I need to reduce SWF file size up to 70%, quality will not be sink.
Is this possible in adobe software? please help...

Iam working on banner production, is their any better software/tools for SWF optimization/compression?
I got one SWF and FLA from other creative team, SWF size is below 50 KB look's better quality, I have changed some small amends, when i was exporting it from FLA... the SWF file weight goes to 90KB, i compressed image quality then, expoted again... the file size goes to 70KB. how can i do 50KB in better quality.
Thank you for your help!
