Pagesfile size (saved as PDF way) too big!

I am sure that a PDF shoukd take up lesss room that do mine.
Tw A4 pages with mostly text and a few small photos. Gives me a PDF that is nearly 3MB. This is all great if you are on broadband ... but dial-up clients quickly tune out.
Have noted that ther PDFs of comparable composition take up lots less room!
Is there any way of producing smaller PDF files?

There are a couple of ways to get a smaller PDF.
First, from within Pages, choose Good or Better from the Image Quality drop-down menu when exporting to PDF.
If you're using Tiger, you can also try the "Reduce File Size" filter in ColorSync in the Print dialog. Click "Copies & Pages" > ColorSync & then Reduce File Size under Filters, Then click the PDF button in the lower left of the Print dialog. This option isn't in the print dialog in Leopard.

    Set your camera to take lower quality pictures is the obvious answer here. You can reduce the size of image already in iPhoto when exporting them.

    Hello How Goes It,
    select the cells you want to have no margin and choose the text inspector of the infopalette and the text tab button. At the bottom is a slider and a number field. There you can adjust the margin thickness.

  • What are solutions for a way-too-big database?

    Hi guys!
    I'm a software developer and not very good in database designing. One day, I was asked something like this :
    "For example, there is a company with a web application. One day, the database for that application is way too big, caused performance issues and others, what is the solution for that application database?"
    At first, I thought that was about using multiple database with single app. But I don't know if I was right.
    I want to ask that what are the solutions? If it's "multiple database" then what should I do? Using two connection to 2 database simutaneously?
    I appreciate any replies. Thanks!

    Thanks Lubiez Jean-Val... for your links.
    I've got some more advices like :
    - "transferring workload to another database using different techniques to copy the data from original db"
    - "redesign of the database"
    So that means we use 2 different databases?Sometimes it is deemed desirable to keep only fairly recent data on the OLTP database, where the normal transaction activity happens, and replicate the data to another database that also contains historical data. This second database is used for heavy reporting tasks.
    And "redesign"?As in, design it from scratch and do it right this time. Make sure all data relations are properly defined to Third Normal Form; make sure all data is typed properly (use DATE columns for dates, NUMBER columns for numbers, etc); make sure you have designed effective indexing; make sure you use the capabilities of the rdbms and do NOT just use it as a data dump.
    See http://www.amazon.com/Effective-Oracle-Design-Osborne-ORACLE/dp/0072230657/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1301257486&sr=1-3
    are they really good solutions?Like most everything else, "It depends"
    It depends on if the proposed solutions are implemented properly and address the root problem. The root problem (or even perceived problem) hasn't yet been defined. You've just assumed that at some undefined point the database becomes "way-too-big" and will cause some sort of problem.
    It's assumed that we don't have or can't use partitioning.
    And why is that assumed? Yes, you have to have a version of Oracle that supports it, and it is an extra cost license. But like everything else, you and your management have to do a hard-nosed cost/benefit analysis. You may think you can't afford the cost of implementing partitioning, but it may be that you can't afford the expenses derived from NOT implementing it. I don't know what the case is for you, but you and your management should consider the factors instead of just rejecting in out of hand.

  • How do you make fonts back to default size in Firefox 24? They are blown way too big.

    Since upgrading to Firefox 22 and 24, the font size has been extremely huge. The only way to make it smaller is ctrl - , but when I go to other sites the fonts are normal size.
    I want to be able to get the default size font on the Firefox 24. I've been using Chrome because this has been so darned annoying, it's even causing Bing to screw up.
    Can someone help me get this fixed?

    This isn't the best way for it.
    Coz my monitor isn't really big.(21.5')
    It is very match for me by using 125%.
    But for FF22(or above) is too big, and the photo will zoom in for 125%
    that was a mess.
    And Chrome has the function but it isn't default but adjust from "chrome://flags"

  • The "other" memory section on my Mac is WAY too big.

    Hey everyone!
    I know there are a LOT of discussions about this topic, but none of them really seemed to work for me. So the other day I got an error saying "Your startup disk is almost full". I immediately checked the storage section of "About my Mac", and sure enough, something like 100 GB were taken up by local backups. To fix this issue, I disabled local backups via this terminal command: sudo tmutil disablelocal.
    I did a restart and checked my storage again. This time, it looked like this (and still does):
    All of what used to be backups is now other. And the reason I have those 900 or so MB of backups is because I eventually turned those on again (with the reverse of the above command) in an effort to fix this. Out of options, I then went to the apple store, where they told me to just delete stuff that was too big. So I got a 1 TB drive and started copying and deleting stuff. The main thing I got rid of was a giant windows VM I had. And just to prove that something's wrong here, look at the breakdown of my files from OmniDiskSweeper:
    If you do the math, I should have about 100 GB more free than I do now. I've tried:
    Turning the thing off then on (you'd be surprised how often that works)
    Resetting the PRAM
    Forcing spotlight to reindex the machine
    Throwing the machine out the window (well, not quite)
    What I think might be the cause:
    This is a stab in the dark here, but possibly all those GB of backups tried to delete themselves and somehow corrupted and aren not called backups anymore by the system?
    Just one more thing: I noticed that OmniDiskSweeper showed a volume I don't recognize. It's called MobileBackups. Maybe that has something to do with it?
    I'll appreciate your help.
    Thanks!

    Although the guide is a little dated, a lot of the information there is really great and helps you track down a lot of files that are just taking up way too much space on your hard drive.
    http://pondini.org/OSX/DiskSpace.html
    I just did this the other day on my Air running 10.9 and recovered around 50GB of disk space, so there is potentially a lot you can do. I suggest following the steps on this guide (to the T, don't want to mess anything up) and go from there. Don't delete ANYTHING that you are not aware of the function, and remember that searching for names of files is a great way to determine whether or not you need it. Some files that SEEM like junk and take up a considerable amount of space are system files that will either be replaced the next time you boot up or render you computer useless entirely.
    For example, there is a file that saves the state of your computer just before it goes to sleep so that it can return quickly when you start up again, and that file is normally the size of the amount of RAM you have (I have 4GB of RAM, so the file was 4GB). After doing some research, this file will either be recreated if deleted, or your sleep mode will not be able to function properly if the file is deleted. So again, just tread lightly.
    Also, there is an application I used to get rid of a bunch of duplicate files that I had on my drive called Gemini (http://macpaw.com/gemini), which I recommend using to clean up documents. Again, be careful, you don't want to go deleting files that you are using that the application mistook for a duplicate.

  • Help! Size of garage band song too big when exported

    I'm trying to share songs I've created with Garage band. For some reason they are way too large (40 - 60MB) to attach to an email and send. They shouldn't be that big, they are just average sized songs. Thats the size that they each came out when I exported it from garage band to itunes. A friend recomended a program Audacity to reduce their size (or bitrate?) but I haven't a clue as to how to use it to make my songs normal size. Is there some simple way to reduce their size so that I can send them to people?
    Also, the second part of my question is I would like the songs to be in a format readable not only by Mac users but by PC users as well.
    As you can see I know very little about this stuff but I really need to send these songs out, any bit of help would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou, Marc.

    We get posts like this one here fairly often, and I can't understand it.
    Go look at your CD collection. Every 3-minute song on any CD takes up 30 MB of file space. Every 5-minute song takes up 50MB of file space.
    It's the same with GarageBand, because GarageBand records and mixes music to 16-bit, 44.1KHz two-channel stereo, just like on a CD. One minute of stereo music takes up approximately 10 MB.
    Complaining that a five minute song in GarageBand takes up 50 MB is like complaining that a foot has twelve inches in it, or that a kilogram contains 1000 grams.
    Use iTunes to burn your GarageBand songs to a CD in the regular audio CD format. Then mail the CD to your friends. They'll be able to listen to it on a Windows PC or a regular CD player at home or in their car.
    You can use iTunes to convert your recording into an MP3 that is as small as you want it, but the smaller the end result, the poorer the audio quality.

  • IOS 4 Pdf manual - too big for iBooks!!!

    Thought the putting the manual in iBooks would be a good way to test drive new app. Well.... first you have to email the pdf (14 meg) and then it is too big to move into iBooks. Apple you can do better than this!!

    OK. Now I see the details of your issue with iBooks.
    Save the PDF file on your desktop or someplace where you can easily find it.
    Open iTunes and connect the iPod Touch to it.
    Now simply either drag it directly to the books on your iPod Touch or drag it to books on your iTunes and sync. This should put the document in on your iBooks app shelf. Be sure to click on the PDF tab in your app to display the PDF books.

  • AI and PDF files too big!

    illustrator CS6 and CC keeps on saving huge file formats.PDF 72 dpi no compat. pdf  ends up with 33 MB when the AI file is only 8MB ( that is already too big) I have tried everything. My PC is with no doubt big enough to run all adobe programs with no conflict. This issue started a few weeks ago and I can find any answer to it.
    I need to present pattern files and outlines of underwear to the client in a PDF. I have 9 designs in one file.AI file is 8 MB while the PDF even in the lowest rez is 33MB....why??
    I would be so happy to hear from anyone that have found a solution to this problem. The factories or clients do not take any files over 10MB
    heeeeelp!

  • Issue syncing artwork: on-device DB is WAY too big!

    I have an iPad and an iPhone. Both get music from the same source. Both take the tracks from my computer's library, downsize them to 128kps and there we are. However, the on-device Art Database sizes are very different and not in the way that makes sense. The size of the DB files was gathered using iPhone Explorer.
    iPad has 4225 tracks. Art database is 2408MB
    iPhone has 2334 tracks. Art database is 3104MB
    A vast majority of the iPad library and the iPhone library overlap, so there is ZERO reason why the iPhone art DB takes up more space than the iPad's, unless something else is stored there that I dont understand. There are more FILES in the iPad DB, but they are overall smaller files. Each iPhone DB file is 200-500 MB. iPad DB files can be between 12-500MB
    See the problem? Any thoughts? Any idea where I could direct this problem to, even? I just don't get it.

  • All fonts in the toolbars are way too big after unplugging my laptop from a projector

    When I plugged in a projector to my laptop (2010 MacBook Pro) all icons & fonts on my laptop went huge! I was able to mostly restore the size of the icons & fonts on my desktop after I unplugged the projector, but I can't get the font size in my toolbars back to the normal, standard size. I've tried to reset to default settings, but it makes no difference.

  • The new ios7 update I can't size my wallpapers anymore. They are all way too big for the screen. Before I would just pinch to size it however I wanted and now it won't do this anymore. Really ***** because now you can't see the wallpapers fully.

    Before the ios7 update we uses to be able to size our wallpapers backgrounds we choose to be the size we desire to fit our screen. Now we can't do this. Why? Is it something they left out for some reason or is there something I'm doing wrong?

    Yes you can delete those temporary files as long as you've saved any changes you've made back to the main document. So I'd open the document with the same name without the ~ and hidden file attribute and make sure it's the way you want it. Then you can delete the temporary file.
