Large size pdf search failure troubleshooting techniques

I am creating maps in Microstation V8i (SELECTseries 2) and exporting them to a pdf (Adobe Acrobat X Version 10.1.3). When my pdf maps surpass a certain size threshold, I am finding that my search function fails - when I execute the search it will not take me to the area or will take me to a blank spot on the pdf. Is there any way to fix this issue?
Could I improve my results by compressing the file?
Is there any other search techniques available that I can use?

first make sure to UNcheck "preserve Photoshop editing capabilities" on your packaged PDF
next JPEG compression image quality
those should get your Photoshop PDF sizes managable...
PS: make sure you CONVERTED to sRGB in Photoshop and embeded/tagged the ICC profile in the Saved PDF (so it has the best chance of displaying colors proper)
here is example of Photoshop's Save As> Photoshop PDF> Output> Color Conversion (to tagged sRGB)

Need Help Converting large size PDF

'Font contains bad/Widths' and 'Cannot find/create font' errors when saving pdf as Other Reduced Size PDF

I am exporting .indd files from within Indesign as pdf files, opening in Acrobat Pro XI. I have no trouble creating the initial pdf file, however, when I go to Save Other > Reduced Size PDF I get error messages. Depending on the file, I receive either the message, "The font (Myriad Pro) contains bad/Widths" replacing the text with dots or "Cannot find or create the font (Helvetica) Some characters may not print or display properly" replacing text with dots or boxes.
My confusion is that the file is exporting to pdf from Indesign without error, it is only when I try to Save Other> Reduce Size PDF that the error occurs.
Also, it is only occurring on five out of 120 pages. These same fonts are on other pages and I have no trouble at all with exporting or Reduce Size PDF.
More frustrating is that I have never had this problem occur in all my previous versions of Acrobat using the same process and typefaces.
I am reaching deadline on this and cannot find a solution other than to reload Acrobat 9 and ditch this upgrade.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I, too have experienced this issue. Upon export from INDD CS6, I see the error message "The font 'IXWIPX+SourceHanSansSC-Bold' contains bad \Widths."
The only items on the single-page InDesign document I'm trying to export are copies of a one-page PDF (which was extracted from a longer PDF, arranged into a cover format). I can provide all files as necessary. The longer document that the one page came from also experienced an error when I tried to print to Adobe PDF. While I still get a PDF of the cover on export, despite the "bad \widths" message, it won't print from certain machines. I get nothing (not even an empty shell file) from the attempt to print the larger document (where the cover elements came from) to PDF.
I can deal with these issues with a few unorthodox workarounds, but wanted to offer comments or volunteer to help test fixes if possible.
For the record, I'm really not enjoying Acrobat XI. It doesn't seem to have much by way of new features (at least not that I use), and some of those I used most in version X are gone or less functional. Common fonts like Times New Roman are often not found (even though they are definitely on my system); I have a much harder time editing text through the new interface, and I have a few other small gripes—some that I don't have time to get into, others that wouldn't really matter, except that they weren't a problem until I "upgraded." Just sayin'.
Thanks for listening.

Adobe Acrobat X Pro version 10.1.12: Save As, Reduce Size PDF

I am running Adobe Acrobat X Pro version 10.1.12. The File > Save As > Reduced Size PDF..." does not work. The file size barely changes, if it changes at all. In some cases, the file size is slightly larger after saving using the reduced size PDF option. In previous versions, the option would drastically reduce the document size. The documents are all text in black/white with no graphics and usually Times New Roman or Arial type fonts. Nothing fancy. Is this a bug in this version? I have been unsuccessful in finding a fix. Optimizing does nothing. Any insight you may provide will be most helpful. Thank you in advance.

It's working for me, reducing like Acrobat Pro 9 did (that was my previous version). According to the software, saving to the latest possible version of Acrobat will give the biggest reduction. Good luck.

About save as reduced size pdf

I noticed that saving as reduced size pdf shrinks a lot my pdf files.
What does it do precisely? Is there a way, with Acrobat X or some other software, to do the same to a large collection of files in few steps?
Any compatibility problem reading that kind o pdf on mobile devices (BlackBerry, Android, iPhone, WP6 or WP7)?
Bye
Dario

don't think it's the right explanation: incremental updates are removed with a simple "save as" action.
Infact, the size of my files (not modifyed after first creation), doesn't change if I open and do a simply "save as" them.
Size will change with Save as > reduced size PDF... it must be doing also something else that regards the version compatibility: I noticed that setting an higher value in the box asking for Acrobat compatibility level will impact the final size of the file.
Keeping actual level will save, on the test file I'm using, about 4 MB. Setting at 9.0 compat. level will obaint the 4 MB file. The quality of the output pdf is lower than the original, so it's also doing some kind of compression.
An explanation could be: it does file compression using the best algorithm available for the version selected?
PS
Is there a way to get statistics on PDF files, like the space used for incremental updates?
Bye,

I have Windows 8.1, and when I right click on the Windows flag (bottom left), the menu gives me a "Search" option. When I enter "%temp%", it goes to " "my username"/ appdata/temp" which is a list of file 1718 file folders. Many are empty but I did a small sample. Is that the right place to delete? I tried Windows- Disk Clean, but that did not help.

Jpg/tiff sizes optimally for inclusion in the large size books?

Old toad and others please chime in, lets get a concrete close to exact answer to these questions finally ?
I have thousands of 50MB tiffs 300dpi resolution 12x18 and their jpg ( easily made whatever size needed by Graphic Converter)counterpart.
I want optimal results in a largest size softcover book.
1.What is the preferred file ( jpg or tiff ) for iphoto books?
2.What would be the minimal/optimum size of that 300dpi resolution files to use inside iphoto to drag onto the pages?
i mean im not going to drag a 50mb file. What size should it be? Please be specific.
3. What would be your preferred theme that would look most professional and include captions.
4. I assume a 100 page book( soft cover large size ) could hold 300-400 images, right?
thanks so much

Glenn:
For your question re converting to jpg and using them in the book, yes that will work fine. The critical aspect of the image file are the pixel dimensions. The larger the better as they will then be sized down to 300 dpi when the PDF of the book is created for uploading and printing.
iPhoto will take any files you use, tiffs, jpegs, Photoshop, etc. and include them in the PDF file of the book for uploading and printing. As was mentioned in my other post Apple suggests using the sRGB color profile. Canon's camera profile is very, very close to it as works as well. The sRGB IEC1966 profile is also very, very close and can be used. However, if you camera uses the Adobe RGB (1988) profile I would convert to sRGB.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Recent photos cannot be edited or shown at larger sizes

My photos of late (started this month, July) cannot be edited or shown at larger sizes (including full-screen mode). I've even lost photos during the imports!!!
When I double click on the thumbnail, all I get is a "!" with a dotted line around it. I've rebuilt my iPhoto library including the thumbnail rebuild.
If someone could please offer up some advice, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I need to divide a large 111MB PDF

I need to divide a large 111MB PDF into several smaller more manageable pieces. I have CS5 but it won't open it. I just bought PDF Extractor so I could convert it to a Microsoft Word File and edit from there. Message says, file too big, over 100MB. How can I do this?

You need Acrobat if you want to split the file.

When I download pictures from my camera, they turn out a nice big size in iPhoto; other pictures that have been e-mailed to me or imported from older libraries/other computers show up small. Why is this, and how can I make them all the larger size?

When I download pictures from my digital camera into iPhoto, they turn out a nice large size (usually almost the full screen), but when somebody e-mails me pictures and I import them into iPhoto, or when I transfer old photos from an old library into my new iPhoto library, they turn out very small--not exactly thumbnail-size, but too small to use for calendars or photo books. I don't know much about computers, so I don't know how this happened. Also, I can't find any discernible pattern to why this happens with some pictures and not others--ie: what I described above is usually true, but I have had e-mailed photos or old photos turn out the way I want them, which is in the larger size in iPhoto. Why is this happening, and how can I make all the pictures the larger size?

Some mail programs, including Apple Mail, can reduce the size of images that are attached to a message. It's happening at the sender's end, and all you can do is ask the sender for a larger image.

Using Save As Reduced Size PDF in Adobe Acrobat X Pro results in a loss of font.

We have multiple paged PDF documents (mapbooks created with Esri's ArcMap) that we would like to reduce in size. When we us the Save As Reduced SIze PDF, the PDF is successfully reduced in size and looks good, except for the fact that starting on page 2, the Times New Roman font is lost and we get a sans-serif font instead (looks like arial). The first page is always fine and not affected. It's starting with the second page where the font is lost. Does anyone have an idea of why that might be happening and how we can use the Reduce File Size feature without losing the font starting on the second page?

Thanks Bill, that worked after some trial and error. I was still getting the same problem when I just accepted the default settings for PDF Optimizer. But I got rid of the problem by creating a Custom setting and turning off the optimization for everything except Image. And for the Image optimization, I just accepted the defaults. That took care of the changing fonts problem. Here is a screenshot of the settings I used (just make sure the check boxes circled are turned off, and only the image compression is turned on):

Acrobat XI Pro crashes when saving as a reduced size PDF in version 11.0.07

Since upgrading to the v 11.0.7 update, Acrobat XI Pro crashes every time I try to "save as" a reduced size PDF. I have tried several different settings, but still crashes.

You might try to setup the page size in the Adobe PDF printer and then print to the printer. I assume you are using PDF Maker (create PDF) and that may be the problem. You might also open the preferences in PDF Maker and turn off most of the options - none should be needed for a single page since you would likely not be using transitions, bookmarks, etc.
Just as a test, you may want to just start with printing ot the Adobe PDF printer, but you will likely get the default paper size with the PPT shrunk to fit.

Can I preset the default save feature in Acrobat 10 to save a MS Word document as a "REDUCED SIZE PDF"?

I use MS Word for Mac 2011 to create documents and quotations. I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.12 on a MAC. I want to save the MS Word file as a "REDUCED SIZE PDF" first, without having to first save it as a normal PDF, then re-save it as the reduced size. How would I do this?? Can this be preset as my default>

You cannot. Because this option both takes much longer and reduces the quality of files, it has to be chosen specifically.
In any case, when you save a PDF file from Word. this process does not involve Acrobat or Adobe software in any way.

How do you open an image in a new window at a larger size?

Yes I am new at this.
Basically all I'd like to do is have a thumbnail on a page as a button, click it so it opens in a new window at a zoomed larger size.
I know this is probably simple but I can't figure out how to do this.
Anybody have a second to point me in the right direction?
I would appreciate it.

It sounds like you want to create a button hot spot. See this article:
