Incopy file size increasing--Please help make it stop

When our designer opens an indesign file and checks out an incopy story for editing, the file size grows very large once the story is checked back in. For example, a story with a file size of 200kb grows to 6,000kb when we check it back in. The incopy file has a lot of conditional text and the indesign file contains many layers and images- could this be the problem? When our editior checks files in and out using only incopy, this issue does not occur. Any advice on how to stop this from happening?

Yes but I took a more careful look at the XML. I have over 57,000 urls in one example of a file. Looking more closely I have a group of urls (obviously from a story placed elsewhere in the document) The first grouping of URLs is in the format:
<HyperlinkURLDestination Self="u8b17" Name="http://www.iberia.com" DestinationURL="http://www.iberia.com" Hidden="false" DestinationUniqueKey="984"/>
But after those appear (let's say there are 50) there's a different format to the data and it repeats that set of URLs many, many times (the examples I have included I specifically chose because they are of the same URL):
<HyperlinkURLDestination Self="u9a81" Name="URL 44" DestinationURL="http://www.iberia.com" Hidden="false" DestinationUniqueKey="1027"/>
The difference is the "Name=" parameter.
What's weird is the InCopy documents seem to pick up the URLS as I keep working in the InDesign document.
I used the InCopy forum because they are InCopy documents and I just thought I could reach more InCopy-savvy persons in this forum. But I export my InCopy (.icml) documents from InDesign. I very seldom use InCopy. Though a co-worker does to make edits. I'm convinced the root of the problem is in InDesign.
I am on Mac OS 10.6 running InDesign (and InCopy) CS4 (6.04) I am not using any any third-party plug ins.
And as far as the check-in.check-out stuff I did switch the terminology around in at least one part of my post. I manually check-in my .icml files (in InDesign) after I have made changes in InDesign.
Phew!

File size issues - Please help!

Hi
I have itunes 7 with 5,500 songs totalling 85 gig and....
a 30gig Gen5 Ipod.
First of all why on earth are 5500 songs taking up so much space? I can only fit 2500 songs on my ipod then it states it full.
Can someone please help me solve this issue or suggest some things that i need to check.
Can I compress the songs from 85gig to 10gig or so?
Thanks
Michael

Yes, quite simple. Make sure you first go to preference -> Advanced -> Importing and set it to the format you would like to use, say AAC or MP3.
To give you a little bit of an idea, I use 192 kbps MP3 ("Higher Quality") although some portion of my library are other bit rates like 128 and 160 from various sources. I have 7874 "items" that come in at under 35GB. So AAC or MP3 between 128 and 192 kbps should do it for you.
OK so once that is set, all you have to do is go to your library, sort by Kind so we can group all the ones you want to convert together. Select the bunch of them, right click and pick "Convert to XXX" (where xxx will be whatever you picked for importing preference; e.g. Convert to MP3). iTunes will not go through the process of making NEW copies of each track encoded with what you picked in the importing preference. Note that it makes NEW COPIES, so do small chucks at a time if you don't have tons of drive space left. After it finishes a group, you can delete the ones you just converted to free up the drive space (don't forget to empty system trash).
That is all there is to it.

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.

File sizes increase in StarOffice 8

I've got a letter I send out about once a month, just changing dates in the contents for each edition. It has a linked .jpg file as background.
In StarOffice 7 the .sxw file size is 8 Kb.
In StarOffice 8 the size has leapt to 44 Kb, whether I save it in .sxw or .odt format.
Why?

I find that file sizes increase both with text documents and with spreadsheets, sometimes by a great deal. One of the reasons I switched from 5.2 to 7 was the much smaller file sizes, since I keep my weekly back-ups on floppies (and am a stingy sort of fellow generally). But I had to run 7 and 5.2 together, since 7 does not handle Sanskrit/Hindi founts (the SO "help" team just asked a whole lot of questions and then disappeared). So now I have (on Windows) 5.2, 7 and 8. I have still not checked if 8 handles these founts. If it does, I can remove 5.2. For the rest, 8 does not seem to offer any advantage over 7 -- not counting the data base, which I have still to look into. File size, in my view, goes against it.

File size increases dramatically after digital signature with Acrobat X

I signed a PDF file using Acrobat X.
File size of unsigned document: 200 k
File size of signed document: 3200 k (more than ten times bigger)
Any idea?

Harald

Finally I found the solution.
The file size increase is a result of the embedded information used for long-term signature validation.
If you do not need this feature, you can turn it off:
Preferences > Security > Advanced Preferences > Creation tab
disable "Include Signature’s Revocation"

How do I delete movies from iTunes library? I have moved them to the iCloud and now only seem to have the option to hide the icon in iCloud. I am sure I chose poorly at the 'keep file' window. Please help. My Brain hurts- 18 movies need to go-.

Instead of removing the music from the cloud or the iTunes library why not shuffle your music using a Smart Playlist which excludes the holiday music, or tracks that are not checked. For example, use this very simple Smart Playlist:

Problem with file archival. Please help

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement where XI reads input file via File adapter. Once the file is read successfully I need to archive it.
I also need to append timestamp to the archived file. After 10 days the archived file should be deleted.
How to achieve this in XI? Where do we specify the retention period for archived file? DO we have to write any script for teh same? IS there any sample script code available?
In file communication channel there is an option for archiving faulty files. Will this work for successfully processed files also?
Please help
Thanks & Regards
Gopal

Hi Gopal,
The option of archiving the file is available in Processing Mode:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/e3/94007075cae04f930cc4c034e411e1/content.htm
YOu can set the Processing mode to Archive to achieve your requirement.
retention period setting is not done in the communication channel.

Why does PDF file size increase each time I "save" tagging tasks?

Why does PDF file size increase each time I "save" tagging tasks?
Given:
1) I'm running Acrobat Pro 11.0.07 (this is most current version)
2) My file size starts at 750mb and ends up 15mb when finished tagging.
3) Only certain documents experience this increase, i.e., no visible pattern of document characteristics
4) PDF's are not full of images...in fact, mostly <H1> <H2> <H3> <P> <Figure> alt text, ect.
5) Occurs with text PDF's and/or fillable forms (again, does not happen to all documents...only some)
6) File increase occurs incrementally as tagging tasks are performed; i.e., each new save increases file size a few megabytes.
7) Occurs whether I "save" or "save as"
8) Difficult to optimize these files without corruption
9) I'm running Mac OS 10.9.4 (this is most current version)

Thank you so much for responding! I've been experimenting with the SAVE AS vs. SAVE for the past few days...and you are correct. It's funny because I've been tagging files for 2 years and never noticed this. Probably b/c I use both methods depending on the tagging tasks...some are more complicated than others and should not be overwritten. In those cases I SAVE AS new file.
I love this forum...thank you again!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on anoterh computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.

I have Windows 7 on a Dell. Open and play iTunes in the compatability mode and use Windows XP (service pack 2). Disregard any messsages to disable the compability mode. This has worked for me. I have also reinstalled iTunes and played with burn speeds etc. These ideas did not work. Compatability mode works.

iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

Not sure I understand how Migration Assistant is doing anything. I thought MA was for connecting your computer to another computer or volume and transferring files. I'm just not sure how you're using it. Like I said earlier, everything you do on your Mac overwrites more of what data may have been recoverable if there even was any. Not to kick you when you're down but this is exactly he kind of a situation where a time machine or other back up would have saved you a lot of heartache. I'm sorry but I don't think I can be of any help :-(
