Keynote 3.0.2 crash and unexpected file size increase

All was going well with my Keynote presentation consisting mainly of photos (.jpg), 100 slides, multiple photos per slide. I then added 3 new Quick Time .mov files, 12 kb each. Upon saving, the program stalled during the save and then crashed. The presentation was about 135 M previously and now is 3.75 G. The backup, created at the same time as the original, is also 3.75 G. I can open these files and play them and close them, but the program hangs during a save.

Editing PDF and keeping file size small

We are having lot of difficulties in keeping the PDF file small after editing. Our PDFs have text and fields and are used in a browser. They need to be updated multiple times a year to reflect change in text.
PDF was created from MS Word 2010 using Acrobat X.
Word had only Arial and Verdana fonts.
When PDF was created from word, settings were set to "Never Embed" fonts. Till this point, all seems fine.
Now, the moment we try to edit text (even add a letter), PDF prompts that fonts may be embedded and file size increases by 20-30KB.
Checking File-Properties-Fonts show that font has changed to "Arial, Bold Type: True Type (CID), Encoding: Identity-H". Before editing, font type was not CID.
Under Optimization, there is no embedded font and we unchecked “subset all embedded fonts in optimization”. Save the file.
Still File size is higher by 10k-20K - though only one word was added.
Questions:
How to avoid font type CID getting added automatically by Acorbat? It seems it takes more space and we don't need it. We couldn't find a way to remove/replace it.
How to keep the file size not increasing much? Every time we edit with only few words added and do optimize, etc. still file size increases by 10-20 KBs.
thanks

As these PDFs are used as electronic agreement forms and have fields/Javascript, recreating them from word requires lot of work. We do understand if there are substantial changes then we should recreate from word as PDF is not designed for major editing. However, in most cases we are trying to edit few lines of text and still file size is increasing by 10-20K.
We have tried Save As but so far optimization option gives us better results in terms of reduction in file size.
We do use common fonts - like Arial, Verdana, Times New Roman. We understand that we should embed uncommon fonts but we avoid uncommon fonts as embedding increases PDF file size.
CID is coming up even when common font like Arial is being used.
Thanks for trying to help us.

PDF file size increases when I add a Email Submit button

Hello,
My PDF form is 87KB. Once I add a Email submit button the file size jumps to 525KB. Why?
Reason this confuses me is that it seems to be inconsistent. I have added this function to other PDF forms and the file size only increased a few KB. Every now & then adding a button or Javascript will increase the file size.
I have retraced my steps over & over, but I cannot find a answer to why this is happening.
Thanks for the help everyone!

The problem is the font. Use Helvetica instead. When you do, Acrobat/Reader actually use a version of Arial anyway.
When you use one of the non-base-14 fonts (Helvetica, Times, Courier, [and their bold, italic, bold italic variants] Symbol, and Zafp Dingbats) for a form field, Acrobat has to embed the entire font in the file, and some can be rather large. The base-14 fonts are guaranteed to be available for use by the compliant PDF viewer, so there is not need to embed them in the file. A viewer is allowed to substitute suitable replacement fonts, which is what Acrobat/Reader now do.
The problem is you can't simply go back and change the font to Helvetica and see the full size reduction that you'd expect after you do a Save As. This is because Acrobat does not clean up everything as well as you might expect. So what you have to do is go back to a version of the form that does not have the button, or copy & paste the field from the old form to a new PDF that doesn't have any fields, but delete the button first. Then create the button anew.

File size increase with Camera Raw

I have a bunch of scanned .tif files. If I open them in Photoshop (cs5) then resave them the file size stays the same. If I open them in Camera Raw then "Open Image" to enter Photoshop, the file size doubles (both the size reported by Photoshop and the file size if I "save as").
Any idea why this happens?
The .tif files are not compressed. The same thing happens if I go through Lightroom.
Thanks
Diane

It's likely you have ACR/LR set to open images as 16 bit rather than 8 bit...

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.

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!

Project file size increase

I reduced the slides in my project from 1024 x 768 to 800 x
600 and the size of my file almost doubled in size.
Also, I reduced a Project from 264 slides to 22 slides, and
the file size only went from 64MB to 58MB. (The files I removed
were all the screen captures, and I don't use FMR)
What the??
Cheers,
Kerry

Hi Kerry,
Please try to check / do these two things to solve your
second problem. (deleting slides does not reduce CP size)
1. Do you delete the slides from the library?
Once you delete the slides from the project, go to library
and select all unused resources and click "delete". now save and
check your file size.
2. If you perform the first solution and see the problem,
then confirm that Captivate application is closed and then just
rename the file in which you see this problem. After renaming the
file, check the file size.
Do let us know, if it works.

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?
BR
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"

InDesign file crashing and damaging file...even the backup file.

Of course in times of deadline but I have a lengthy 20 something page document that continually crashes and then gives me a damaged error but attempting to recover just crashes InDesign. I have tried recreating a couple times thinking maybe something corrupt in the doc but even the back up file is corrupt now! UGH! HELP!!!

Hard to tell what you mean by the backup file is corrupt.
It's possible that only the recovery data is bad, and if you empty the (hidden by default) InDesign Recovery folder you will be able to start ID without auto-recovery, then use File > Open... to navigate to and open the last saved version of the file.
If a backup file is also misbehaving it may be that it already had a problem, or else there is something not specifically file-related that is the problem, a plugin conflict, or a bad font are two common errors. Without more information, though, it's impossible to say. What version of ID? Which OS? Do you have the latest patch installed for your version?
If yo are a Mac user you likely have a crash report associated with this. If so, post it on pastebin.com and give us a link to it here and we might be able to narrow things down.

Disk Utility crashes and dmg files won't mount

My girlfriend's Powerbook has been acting up for a while now, and we still can't seem to get it working properly.
One day, her Adobe programs just stopped working. Tried several things, but nothing worked and she ended up reinstalling OSX. That fixed the problem, but then she noticed she could no longer open DMG files. Accordingly, she tried to run Disk Utility but then found that it would always crash when trying to open.
She ran Disk Utility from the install disc, but nothing turned up. She also tried looking up several methods of fixing the DMG problem (deleting various files), but nothing's worked.
If I remember correctly, she also tried using the 10.3.9 combo updater some time ago, but that didn't help. We're actually not totally sure about that, so we're trying to reinstall the 10.3.9 combo updater, except for the fact that Apple has only made the file available as a DMG (which she obviously can't open).
So can anyone please help us get Disk Utility to stop crashing, and get those DMG files to open/mount? I have the crash logs but they're huge, so I'm not so sure if I should post them. Thanks everyone!
PS. I can open DMG files for her using MagicISO (I'm on a PC), but it's a bit of a pain transferring those larger files to her.
Powerbook Mac OS X (10.3.9)

What files did you try deleting? If you don't know what a file does or why you're messing around with it, you shouldn't; that's just asking for trouble.
Let's assume for the moment that you have a corrupted preferences file. To find out, go to Users/Library/Preferences and locate the com.apple.DiskUtility.plist file and drag it to the Desktop. Now relaunch Disk Utility and see if the problem continues. If not, then use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions, and then you can Trash the file on your Desktop.
You should also use your OS X install disc to boot the system and use Disk Utility to Repair Disk, to see if there are any problems. If it reports any errors that it can fix, keep running it until no more are reported.
If there's an error that it cannot fix, stop using your system immediately and make a backup of everything; then get a disk utility such as DiskWarrior to see if it can fix your drive. If your drive cannot be repaired, you will need to replace the internal drive and restore from your backup (if you have one).
Hope this helps,
Mulder

Projector and dir file size grow 7X unexpectedly - dcr remains the same.

I’m updating a Shockwave project that is also available
for download (so size matters and I’ve got a dcr and exe of
the same project). Last year the file sizes were as follows: dir =
933kb, dcr = 203kb, exe = 4,857kb … all reasonable. I started
with last year’s file, eliminated numerous redundant scripts
and cast members (including an unused font), combined the
functionality of scripts that were similar, streamlined the
operation of other scripts, updated some internal data, replaced
the one and only bmp with a new one for this year (same size),
saved and compacted … and for all my effort to clean up this
year’s version I get the following: dir = 33.9Mb, dcr =
224kb, exe = 37.5Mb The xtras are an obvious suspect but I went
down the list and they’re the same as last year, the only
outside xtra being POM (which hasn’t changed since 2006) I
recompiled last year’s project and the sizes were still
reasonable, so Director isn’t broke. Anyone know what's up?
PS: I made a dummy copy of this year's movie, elminated
everything (all sprites, all cast members, all xtras), save and
compact, and the dir file is still 33Mb?!?!?
PPS: Well, I copied everything into a fresh document, spent
about an hour making sure scripts not attached to sprites didn't
get left behind, re-attached the required xtras, and now I'm back
down to a 4.4Mb projector but I'm not sure why.

Thanks Mike. The odd thing is the results above were after a
“save and compact” (as a matter of habit I always
compact). Even with everything stripped out of the file I
couldn’t get Director to jettison whatever garbage had gotten
lodged in. On the plus side, moving the cast and score to a fresh
document not only cured the problem but also allowed me to
eliminate some legacy xtras that were no longer being used (this
project has been updated yearly since 2002).
PS: Flash's memory and file size audit report is really nice
for trouble shooting this kind of problem, it would be nice if
Director gets the same feature.

Crash and .ims Files

Since I updated to Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 the project keeps creating a media a "Media Cache Files" folder on my computer's hard drive and filling it with .ims files until my hard drive is full. This happens even though I have told the project to put the media cache files on an external drive. The project also creates a Media Cache Files folder on the external drive and fills that folder with .pek and .cfa files. Anybody know how to prevent the project from creating this folder on my computer's hard drive?
[Please choose only a short description for the thread title.]

Hi Jeff,
Pardon the long post, and maybe I should direct this at Kevin, but I pick you. We've been scratching our heads over this for a year.
Trying to get a handle on our cache file set-up. Where best to put them, when to generate, etc. We have multiple rooms working with the same media, maybe picking up a project from another editor. Different configurations but all rooms have robust Mac Pros, PPro 2014, multiple fiber connections, internal hard drives, lots of RAM (48g).
I assume that its better to put cache files on a secondary drive if possible; would you agree?
For a very large file it seems to bog PPro down. I.e. you can't play the clip while its particular cache file is generating. We load entire ballgames, movies, hour long interviews, etc. Is this as expected?
A new user on the same project still seems to have to generate cache files; do you know if these files should be associated with the media, the project, or the user? We do not put the cache files next to the original media; that becomes a nightmare in the finder.
I did a test just now and the .ims files were created for everything I dragged in (ProRes, mxf, avi, mp4, aif, wav, psd, png, tif).
The second part of this test was to clean the database using PPro preferences. Before the clean I had 26,000 ims files in my common folder (tiny, yes, but a lot of files) and 7,000 files in my cache files folder on my internal hard drive (1TB SATA). After the clean I appear to still have exactly the same number of files on each. Just to be clear, the media prefs are pointing to the same cache folder. I can delete manually, and try to do that about every two weeks. The problem there being that I'm working on an hour long show with seven cameras, clips, graphics, music, etc. and I don't want to have to re-generate the big files often. My work around has been to delete all cache files, then launch the project when I'm leaving for the night so they re-generate during down time.
Again, pardon the long winded post. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan
