Image size becoming 30X larger in file size once on PDF

Hello all. I'm working with Adobe Designer 7.0. I have a PDF that I made that comes out to 1.25MB. But when I try to put our logo on it, which is 185k in size, it jumps to a total of 2.65MB. Then when we put on our 2nd logo, which is 550k in size, it jumps to 8.65MB! Why does such a small image file make the PDF so much larger? Am I doing something wrong? I've changed the images from jpeg to gifs and bmps, but the same things happens. It's as though the image is becomes 5X to 30X larger when going onto the form. The logos are important, but we need to keep the size of the doc small to have it accessible on our website. Thank you.

HELP!! Very Large Spooling / File Size after Data Merge

My question is: If the image is the same and only the text is different why not use the same image over and over again?
Here is what happens...
Using CS3 and XP (P4 2.4Ghz, 1GB Ram, 256MB Video Card) I have taken a postcard pdf (the backside) placed it in a document, then I draw a text box. Then I select a data source and put the fields I wish to print (Name, address, zip, etc.) in the text box.
Now, under the Create Merged Document menu I select Multiple Records and then use the Multiple Records Layout tab to adjust the placement of this postcard on the page. I use the preview multiple records option to lay out 4 postcards on my page. Then I merge the document (it has 426 records).
Now that my merged document is created with four postcards per page and the mailing data on each card I go to print. When I print the file it spools up huge! The PDF I orginally placed in the document is 2.48 MB but when it spools I can only print 25 pages at a time and that still takes FOREVER. So again my question is... If the image is the same and only the text is different why not use the same image over and over again?
How can I prevent the gigantic spooling? I have tried putting the PDF on the master page and then using the document page to create the merged document and still the same result. I have also tried createing a merged document with just the addresses then adding the the pdf on the Master page afterward but again, huge filesize while spooling. Am I missing something? Any help is appreciated :)

The size of the EMF spool file may become very large when you print a document that contains lots of raster data

SYMPTOMS
When you print a document that contains lots of raster data, the size of the Enhanced Metafile (EMF) spool file may become very large. Files such as Adobe .pdf files or Microsoft Word .doc documents may contain lots of raster data. Adobe .pdf files and Word .doc documents that contain gradients are even more likely to contain lots of raster data.
Back to the top
CAUSE
This problem occurs because Graphics Device Interface (GDI) does not compress raster data when the GDI processes EMF spool files and generates EMF spool files.
This problem is very prominent with printers that support higher resolutions. The size of the raster data increases by four times if the dots-per-inch (dpi) in the file increases by two times. For example, a .pdf file of 1 megabyte (MB) may generate an EMF spool file of 500 MB. Therefore, you may notice that the printing process decreases in performance.
Back to the top
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, bypass EMF spooling. To do this, follow these steps:1. Open the properties dialog box for the printer.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. Click the Print directly to the printer option.
Note This will disable all print processor-based features such as the following features: N-up
Watermark
Booklet printing
Driver collation
Scale-to-fit

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

MORE INFORMATION
Steps to reproduce the problem
1. Open the properties dialog box for any inbox printer.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. Make sure that the Print directly to the printer option is not selected.
4. Click to select the Keep printed documents check box.
5. Print an Adobe .pdf document that contains many groups of raster data.
6. Check the size of the EMF spool file.

Large folio file size

We are half way through a book that comprises 100 single page articles. However it is already nearly 500 MB and this isn't sustainable.
Does the following affect the file size:
Is the Folio file size affected by the number of individual articles, would it be smaller if we had stacks of say 10 articles each with 10 pages rather than 100 single pages?
Every page has a two picture (JPG) object state, the first image is an extreme elargement of the image that visible only for a about a second before the full frame image appears. Each page has a caption using Pan overlay that can be dragged into the page using a small tab.Does an Object State increase the file size over and above the images contained within it?
We have reduced the JPGs to the minimum acceptable quality and there is no video in the Folio.
Any ideas would be much appreciated?

800 MB worth of video sounds crazy.
Of course, a high number of videos can bring you to that.
I saw bigger dps apps. I think the apple limit lies around 4 gb (remember,
that is more than 25% of a whole 16 gb iPad)
The mp4 video codec does a really good job while keeping the quality high.
And the human eye is more forgiving to quality when it comes to moving
images compared to still imagery.

Large .bpel file size vs performance

how does large .bpel file size affect performance,say that I have a process of .9 mgb size with around 10000 line how does this affect the instance creation ,fetching and message creation during the process life cycle.

MacDLS,
I recently did a little house-cleaning on my startup drive (only 60Gb) and now have about 20Gb free, so I don't think that is the problem.
It's probably not a very fast drive in the first place...
I know that 5MB isn't very big, but for some reason it takes a lot longer to open these scanned files in photoshop (from aperture) than the 5MB files from my camera. Any idea why this is?
Have a look at the file size of one of those externally edited files for a clue - it won't be 5MB. When Aperture sends a file out for editing, it creates either a PSD or an uncompressed TIFF after applying any image adjustments that you've applied in Aperture, and sends that out. Depending on the settings in Aperture's preferences this will be in either 8-bit or 16-bit.
As a 16-bit uncompressed TIFF, a 44 megapixel image weighs in at a touch over 150MB...

When using crop tool based on canvas size dimensions, the file size becomes very large

Can someone explain how to best figure out crop tool settings to maintain relative file size? I tried to use the image / canvas size information to set the crop tools dimensions, but the file saved is 10 times larger than the original.
Thanks!

What exact version of Photoshop? There were changes to the crop tool as of CS6, althoughy there's an option to use Classic (the old crop tool behaviour).
It wouldn't hurt to specify your platform (Mac or Win)…
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you better and faster.

JPEG images opened in Photoshop double in file size upon save. Why?

I've noticed that jpeg files I open in Photoshop (fresh off the sansdisk card) pretty much double in file size (from, say, 3MB to 6MB) after they're saved. This occurs even if I don't change the image size at all and simply save as a jpeg after touching up the levels and sharpness (no major restorative work on the image at all).
Can anyone explain this to me?

JPG format saves disk space by using a coding scheme (called huffman) in which small numbers use fewer bits than small numbers. What is saved is differences between neigbor pixels (the idea being that there is usually much similarity between neighbor pixels). Smaller inter-neigbor differences need fewer bits than large differences. When you adjust tonality, the adjusted image most likely uses a bigger portion of the tonal range than the original image did, and the inter-neighbor differences are increased. A sharpness boost also increases differences between neighbor pixels, particularly so if you boost sharpness so much that noise is increased, and more bits are needed to store the differences.
Another thing is that when you open a JPG image into an image editor, the editor uncompresses the image. When you re-save it, you have to select a compression ratio, and it may not necessarily be the same ratio that the original was compressed with.
Best regards,
Antero

Very large Keynote file size

One of my Keynote files has grown to 704 MB and now takes forever to save. How can I reduce the size of this file? I suspect some photos in the file are larger in MB size then they need to be.
Thanks

You'd need to try exporting your images from iPhoto as smaller images before using them in Keynote. I'm not sure if there's a simple way to compress the images that are already in Keynote.

Image button imports much larger than actual size

I have a lot of custom image buttons in my Captivate project. I am now trying to scale them down in size, to reduce overall file size of my project. Some of my custom png images show up as 100 px in Photoshop, then when I import them into Captivate, they stay the same. However others, that show as 100px in photoshop, are importing in at 400px! Any ideas why this would happen. The original set was 400px. But I have overwritten the files with smaller ones in the gallery and re-inserted them - but still no luck. Thanks.

Hi
i am posting this again due to lack of response. Its urgent. so i will really be thankful to anyone who can help.
My application prints out cd labels. As i checked the width of a cd label is 12.5 cm which is 472 pixels. Now when i set component size to 472 pixel and print just that component, the out put seems to be much larger. like it covers almost 90% width of a A4 page. My code is like this:
I want to print LabelContainer
private function print():void
     printjob = null;
     printjob = new FlexPrintJob();
     LabelContainer.printDataGrid.selectedIndex = -1;
     try{

Image Capture - How do I reduce file size of scan document?

I am using image scan. I scan the file (about 7 pages) and it comes to 16.8M. I cannot email it at that file size. How do I get the scan to be less detailed or so to allow me to email it? I tried messing with DPI, etc... that didnt work.
When I went into Finder to compress it to a .zip the file size did not change.
The person on the other end cannot receive files >10M.
Thanks
Nick

I figured it out if anyone needs it in the future. In the details section there are 3 ways to scan. Text, Color or Black and White. Choose text and increase DPI a tad and it made file size 194K.

Changing Images from CMYK to RGB and file size

Hello and Thank You in advance...
I'm new to Keynote and I created a slideshow with CMYK image and it is a certain size. When I resaved the images (same name, same location) and resaved the Keynote document, there is no change in file size. Is there a way to update the images in the slideshow?

Keynote puts the images INSIDE the .key file.
The best way to fix this is Control-click on a copy of your .key file and choose Show Package Contents.
Then select your NEW images in the finder and choose COPY (I know, it sounds weird, but the finder in OS X can use the Copy option to actually copy files).
Then click into the open .key folder and PASTE. You should get a notice that the images inside the folder already exist and do you want to replace them. Choose yes.
Close the folder and open the .key file and see if it worked okay.

LV 8.2 Vs. LV 7.1 and large VI file size

Hi,
I upgraded a large SW developed in LV 7.1 to LV 8.2. After some error corrections I saw that a large Vi in LV 7.1 (a Vi template .vit) that was 18 MB, in LV8.2 was 2.6 MB !
The editing of this Vi is very very very slow, and it's unacceptable. When I save it I can have a coffee break !!
Also, to open the reference to this Vi it's necessary 35-40s but in LV 7.1 2 seconds were enough.
Finally I see also a reduction of the file dimension of some Vi that in LV 7.1 had a large file size (5-8 MB).
Some suggestion about this big-big problem ?
It's possible that LV 8.2 compress (like ZIP) large VI ?
Thanks and regards

The extreme difference in file size indicates that LabVIEW is able to "squeeze" your vi down much more than the typical %50 that ZLIB is capable of. LabVIEW 8.0 introduced compression of the vi. See this LAVA thread. If your VI contains items that are highly compressible, (BMPs, large strings of repeating text?) then the CPU must work more to "enflate" and "deflate" the file when loaded or saved (development environment slower). Your reported values lead me to beleive there is "SOMETHING" in your VI that could be improved.
The other solution is to improve the computer's effeciency; start by cleaning up the hard disk and optimizing it, then upgrade memory, then as a last resort upgrade the CPU. LV 8.2 takes more memory. If your physical RAM is not up to par and if your disk drive is full, you might be paging to disk alot and that would slow you down.
Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T

Unusually Large Song File Size

I've noticed some of my songs (protected and unprotected) have unusually large file sizes. At first I found multiple instances of 100MB sized files. I made a playlist to collect them and found more than 100 songs that are larger than 50MB.
All the songs are set at a maximum 128kbps bit rate, that usually translates to 1MB/minute, right? Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon?

You have a screen grab but don't show it. You need to show what you have as your description isn't filling in the blanks.
From the iTunes Help Menu with a search for 'protected'
<*Usage rights for iTunes Store purchases*
Many of the songs you purchase from the iTunes Store are protected by Digital Rights Management (DRM). These protected purchases can be:
Played on up to five computers
Synced with your iPod
Synced with or streamed to your Apple TV
Burned to audio CDs or DVDs (you can burn a song an unlimited number of times, and as part of a playlist up to seven times)
The iTunes Store also offers songs without DRM protection, from participating record labels. These DRM-free songs, called "iTunes Plus," have no usage restrictions and feature higher-quality encoding.
The first time you buy an iTunes Plus song, you specify whether to make all future purchases iTunes Plus versions (when available). You can change this setting by accessing your account information on the iTunes Store.
If you already have iTunes Store purchases that are now available as iTunes Plus downloads, you may upgrade your existing purchases. To do so, visit the iTunes Store and follow the onscreen instructions.>
As noted you can burn a iTS tune to an audio CD - you can figure out the rest.

LARGER Exported File sizes

I recently upgraded to LR V2 (also use PS CS3)
For some reason my exported file sizes have increased immensely
Typically I would convert from RAW to TIFF with the following settings:
11" x 17" print size
compression: none
Adobe RGB1998
16 bit
resolution 300 DPI
These files would convert at about 90MB (manageable on my system)
They are now converting at a whopping 400MB (aging system can't handle this!)
Is this the new LR V2 standard, is there some setting I need to change?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Rich

No, you must be doing something wrong there. 300 ppi (NOT DPI!) at 11x17 and 16 bits uncompressed should be 90MB as you can calculate with simple math. If you enable compression (highly recommended for tiffs - it's lossless compression) you should be able to cut that in half.

Premiere Pro CS6, large project file size - crashing etc

Working on a project in Premiere Pro CS6 - also incorporating after effects and using 2 external plugins (Beauty Box and Factory Pro FX). Project is over 500MB, lots of comps, titles etc. project seems to be corrupt on my machine. .The project crashes continually. I cannot save my work, I cannot export, I cannot create XML and media is linking incorrectly. When I pull the project in on my laptop (separate machine) which has CC 2014 running, the project is FINE. That said - I need to work off of the more powerful machine to do this job - so need to find a way to troubleshoot. Note - project opens on my partner's machine, she can save + export, etc - however the media in still linking incorrectly on her machine as well (note partner does not have the 2 plugins, beauty box and factory Pro FX) - that said, it still links to the wrong media.
We have worked out a work-arond where we pull all of the AE sequences out of Premiere and into separate AE project which has made the project workable again but we know something is WRONG and we need to fix for future ASAP.
please help!
thank you
