PDF Optimizer Removes Lines for Arrows & Circles

I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro for Mac. I've created documents that need arrows & circles around certain images, & have created PDF's from those docs. I need to optimize those PDF's to reduce the filesize, but in doing so, the PDF Optimizer removes the lines from the arrows & circles, leaving just the beginning & ending points. Here's an example of before/after optimizing:
I've changed just about every setting in the PDF Optimizer, but it still removes the lines. What am I missing here?
Thanks for your help!

I'm afraid I initially missed your "I've changed just about every setting in the PDF Optimizer," and don't have the expertise to take this much further. I assume you added your circles and arrows with Acrobat 9's commenting tools. If so, a desperate measure might be to flatten them, as discussed by Dov Isaacs a few times, most recently with regard to "Typewriter Objects," over in the InDesign forum, but I'm getting out of my depth.
Good luck,
David

Acrobat 9 - Use Optimize PDF from command-line or batch

one can use the functionality optimize pdf from the command line or a batch script?
thanks

I found the solution. With the batch sequence i create the pdf optimization, and use the plug-in Autobatchtool (from the partner evermap) to run this batch from command-line. Thanks for you help

Is there a command line to do PDF optimizer?

I want to use a command line to convert PDF version from 1.5 to 1.3.
Thanks for your help

Adobe Reader doesn't have a PDF Optimizer.

How can I reduce the file size when PDF Optimizer does not do much?

I have a PDF form that exists of 48 pages. 44 pages are forms / have form fields, the other 4 are just informative. Each form-page has approx. 80 fields (checkboxes, text fields).
When I started setting up the PDF form the file size was 12 MB and I had placed fields on 21 pages. Then with 34 pages the file size was 19 MB. And with 40 pages it was 35 MB big! Finally with 44 pages the file size is 34 MB.
So I searched with Google and found some tips. Using the "PDF Optimizer" option inside Acrobat for example. So I did, and the file was reduced only with 3 MB... 31 MB was the file. Also used the option "Save as.... Optimized".... no difference. I also found a suggestion about removing embedded fonts. Using the "Audit Space Usage" option I noticed the fonts taking many MegaBytes:
* Content Streams: 5.287.000     15,09 %
* Fonts:                24.556.810     70,08 % !!
* Acrobat forms:      3.349.164    12,05 %
In the older PDF version (I saved and kept this one too) with just 21 pages with form-fields, the "Audit Space Usage" shows:
* Content Streams: 5.292.000     40,14 %
* Fonts:                 1.290.224     9,79 %
* Acrobat forms:      1.588.758    12,05 %
So I could save many many MegaBytes by -UnEmbedding- fonts. But if I do this (unembed ALL fonts), the file size stays almost the same!?!?!? Why? What can I do to reduce the file size? I would like it to be 8 MB if possible (32 MB - 24 MB = 8 MB)?
Thank you for your help!

If you have authored the form, reduce the number of different fonts for the content and form fields.
Any font used in a form field will cause that font to be embedded into the PDF.
If you are going to Optimize the PDF be very careful with forms. Optimization does a lot of removal of items and rearranging of items which can really mess up forms.

Line through a circle symbol, can't find a way around it! Help please!

On start up of my MDD G4 I am getting a no entry symbol, a circle with a line through it.
To give the full background of events, 2 evenings ago the Mac froze up for no reason, at the point I think where the screensaver would’ve activated due to inactivity. There was only mail and firefox running at the time, no videos or anything – this error, or at least the freezing of the Mac (no movement even from the mouse) repeated itself later on that night and yesterday evening as well, although the next evening the Mac wasn’t on long enough for the screensaver to start up. On those occasions the Mac restarted fine. Last night however I got the circle symbol but was able to hold down option key and select my previous drive to start up with, I ran Diskwarrior and it found a few faults with my main larger drive and repaired them and the Mac restarted with the larger drive as it’s startup drive absolutely fine. I put the Mac to sleep last thing at night, however this morning it failed to wake – note that the power lights on the Mac and Apple Monitor were glowing and fading fine as they should.
When I restarted the Mac via the power button on the Mac it started up fine, I had the Mac symbol with the spinning icon (not sure how you describe it!) as normal, however the fans then slowed down as did the hard drive noise and that’s when the circle with the line through symbol appeared.
So far I have tried disconnecting all peripherals from the Mac, resetting the PRAM, resetting the CUDA switch on the motherboard, starting up holding X and starting up from my Diskwarrior CD – unfortunately even the startup using the Diskwarrior CD fails to bring up a desktop of any sort and instead brings up the circle with a line through it.
Can anyone shed anymore light on potential problems or more importantly solutions as I’m tearing my hair out on this one!!
As further info, there are 2 other additional hard drives in my G4, one of which was my main startup drive for around the last year (a 500Gb drive connected via PCI card), which has worked flawlessly until now. I have tried starting up with this drive disconnected but to no avail.
One more piece of information which may help is that if I hold down the option key at startup the Mac does see both OSX system on my original and additional hard drives (and Diskwarrior CD if inserted) – however no matter which one I select it goes no further than the line through a circle symbol.
Many virtual drinks for anyone who can solve this!!!!!!!

One of the Level 4's, the Hatter (I hope he stops by personally) gave me the following insight:
The hatter wrote:
A really badly corrupt directory can prevent booting from any drive or media, because they all look to see what other boot volumes are out there.
With G4/5's the best way to clear corrupt nvram was to boot into Open Firmware and reset nvram and a good idea to do when swapping drives, memory, PCI cards.
Try booting after removing or unplugging the hard drive. May need to pull it and put in FW case to recover anything.
So what could have happened when you crashed is that there was disk damage, probably to the disk directory. If that happened say to a single HD, then according to the Hatter, you won't be able to boot from any drive since there's a kind of checking to see what other drives are boot volumes out. That check could be failing in your case because of the directory corruption.
You have two HDs in your MDD, so either one or both could have suffered directory corruption.
If I understood one of your posts, you disconnected the SATA drive, and still saw problems. If so, perhaps your old HD suffered corruption.
So you might try disconnecting the old drive -- be sure to disconnect the data cable because your Mac will can cause fits if the data cable is connected to an unpowered HD. Then try to boot from the Install CD or even Diskwarrior. I'm pretty sure you can boot from the optical drive even if there aren't any HDs.
If you can boot from CD with no HDs, then we've got it narrowed down to directory corruption. Thereafter, you might see if you attach only the SATA if you can boot to diagnose the just that drive. If you can, that's great because it would mean your backup HD suffered the damage and not your main drive.
As indicated by the Hatter, if you've got damage to the SATA, it may mean your best chance is to connect it externally. That way you can boot, thereafter connect and diagnose.

PDF Optimizer Settings: Where Are They Saved?

PDF Optimizer Settings: Where Are They Saved?
That is, the ones that you create and then Save.
Also the default one which came along Acrobat Pro (i.e. Standard etc)
Thanks

They are stored in the Acrobat User Preferences Area. The same location is used for Pro, Standard, and Reader. But the exact location is OS dependant.
Open up the JavaScript Console window and run this line of code. (instructions at the links below)

PDF Reader and Editor for Playbook

Hi Guys,
Hope all is well with you...
I recently bought playbook, adobe pdf reader sucks...period....I cannot find "words"...No options at all.
Whenever I read a book, I like to underline the text which I find important, also when on the middle of the page, if I need to refer another name in the document, I use "find"....Now I am not able to do both. Also there is no app on the app world as well. So sad...
Can anyone face similar problem, Hope you guys can help me...
Thanks
Sincerely,

I downloaded yesterday Jotsy from the BB App Store (right now it is available for free).
Besides being a PDF Reader it also allows you to select a page number without scrolling to it, highlight text lines, add comments, circle text, and save these changes or undo those changes.
Jotsy comes in ‘2 slices’. You install one on your PB and the other one on your PC. When you install the PC component you need first to install java (I had to uninstall it, then installed java from java.com, and then re-installed Jotsy to get the Jotsy icon placed into the notification area of the system tray. You need this one.
Today I set-up a “cloud’” account with box.com (right now it is available for free till March 23) and now Jotsy syncs with my files in the Jotsy PC folder on my desktop and the Jotsy box folder in the “cloud”, i.e. the box.com’s server where one can store up to 5 GB of files either from your PB or smartphone (via upload from your media card folders or send your attachments from email as an email forwarded to your box account (wow)).
What does sync do? It copies files from both locations to your hidden Jotsy folder in your PB so you can work ‘Offline’ on your documents. One thing I didn’t like. I needed to upload my PB OS 2 manual to the “cloud” from my PB document folder rather than move it locally (I guess this is good for service providers). However, now I can go directly to pages I want tot go from the index without scrolling through the whole manual and make notes right there in my manual or underline text.
If this is what your are looking for click the like icon in this box. Thx, matt

Font embed and PDF optimizer question

using Quark 7, Acrobat 8 professional, non-intel mac OS10.4.11. According to the quark dialog, the fonts are imbedded. When I look in PDF optimizer, the fonts don't show up. Does this mean they were never imbedded? Also, when I save a file as PDF optimized I get a zero kb figure in the finder panel. Is this correct?
Thanks

Although you may have embedding turned on, Doesn't necessarily mean That fonts are embedded. Only fonts that allowed to be embedded, are those from Adobe, plus other font houses that have agreements with Adobe to allo it. If your trying to embed MicroSoft Fonts. Forget it it They share nothing with anyone. And The chace of it happening are about like the old say saying The chances of it happening are *Slim* and *None* *and Slim just left town*.
Also if you receive a PDF form someone else. They may have run through Optimizer to reduce the size and removed all instances of Embedded font.
If you use common fonts between windows and Apple say for example Ariel There should only be subtle differences in the look of the PDF if you have use system fonts turned on.

Can open PDF's on line but not downloaded files!

I had problems downloading/upgrading Adobe 9 until advised to remove Adobe download manager and start again. This I actioned and I now have Adobe 9 on my system. However, before I actioned the above I was advised to try at start up clicking F8 (I believe?) and adjust my resolution down to 800 x 600 - this I did, but, it made no difference, Adobe 9 upgrade would not load. I now find I can open PDF's on line with my upgraded Adobe 9 in full screen resolution, but, all the earlier PDF's on file reduce my screen to 800 x 600 res and still don't open. Is it possible to go back to the first action, click F8 at start up, etc, as detailed above, and reverse it? If it is can someone please repeat the actions I must make i.e. is it F8 I click when I start up my computer, and, what do I then click on the screen, etc, I would be most grateful!
Updated 14/10/2010 23.35 BST
OK - I have looked at what actions advice I was given and it was - Press F8 @ advanced startup options, select VGA mode, Dialog box click OK to start Windows.....could this have restructured my screen resolution for existing PDFs?
Updated 2/11/10 1520 GMT
Well hi to those few who actually looked at my problem and what a pity no one has been able to help me. It is pretty obvious Adobe doesn't monitor these web pages otherwise I might have been thanking them for their help in sorting my problem out - fat chance!

Syncing via the Books tab on your computer's iTunes only syncs books to the iBooks app. If you want the PDFs in Adode Reader or the Kinlde then you will need to sync them via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's Apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes - I don't think that iBooks supports the direct copying of PDFs from it to other apps

Drawing lines, rectangles and circles as objects onto a JPanel.

Hi. I have to complete a task in school. The work is to create some simple 2D graphical editor. I'm new to java and I have some problems with this job, so I'm looking for help where it is possible...
I created a JFrame and using it as a window. Into this JFrame I've added a toolbox (JToolBox) and "drawpad" - a JPanel. The toolbox wasn't any problem, but I aim to use the JPanel for drawing 2D objects. I tought about creating some container of objects, where I could put lines, rectangles or circles, each one with its properties (color, [x; y] coordinates on the scene, filling and drawing width) and then, draw this scene onto the JPanel.
It should be something like windows Paintbrush. Can be simplier, but including the possibility to move and change properties of drawn objects.

Well, there are two approaches to this that come to mind:
1. Create an image. If this program is supposed to be like Windows Paint, the tools you are describing are only there for the sake of modifying a two dimensional image. In that case, I would recommend using a BufferedImage.
The JPanel can contain a single JLabel. The JLabel is constructed in the following fashion:
JLabel image_label = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(bufferedImage));...where bufferedImage is the image on which you will be storing the data. You can use bufferedImage.getGraphics() to get an object which will quite happily draw geometric shapes for you. Then, after each draw, you tell the panel to repaint itself.
2. Store the shapes and create a component to draw them for you. You'd create a new JComponent class that would accept objects representing geometric shapes. You then override the paintComponent method on this new class to have it render itself according to the contents of the geometry objects. It would also probably be advisable to have all of these classes implement a common interface (which you would also create) so the rendering component could treat them identically.

Change the colour of the outer line of a circle

Hello everyone,
I drew up a circle with no fill inside, to show where the location of my highway storm culvert will be.
I changed the thickness of the outer line of my circle shape by creating a stroke effect at layer → blending options → stroke; then I changed the thickness of the line by right clicking in stroke at the layers panel and then choosing "scale effect."
But the problem I have is that the outer line is gray, and I want it to be black.
The outer line was originally red though so I changed my image → mode to grayscale, because I couldn't find a way to change the colour while keeping my image in RGB colour. So I've managed to make the outer line gray by changing the image mode but I still can't change the colour of the outer line to black.
I'm sure there must be other ways of changing the outer line colour without having to change the image mode, but I'm clueless.
Here is my drawing:
The text next to the circle says «Obra de desagüe». That's spanish for "drainage construction site."
You see, I can't change the colour because I have no clue at where the "change colour option" is. I tried going to layer → layer properties, but in there there's only 7 colours to choose from. I chose a random colour, just to see what happens and what truly changed colour was the layer, within the layers panel; not the shape contained within the layer.
So I'm lost here, any help please?
Unfortunately I'm still not an expert in Photoshop just yet.
Thank you for reading my post.

Set shape layer opacity 100% Fill 0% to make fill transparent or add an empty layer make a circular selection stroke it black.

Cannot view InfoPath Form on SHarePoint 2013 since I removed SkyDrive for Business and installed OneDrive For Business

I removed SkyDrive for Business and installed OneDrive for Business on my laptop. After that, I had problems opening a Word and Excel document in a SharePoint site (SP2013). After installing Service Pack2 from Office2010, this problem is solved.
But I still have the same problem with InfoPath. Whenever I click an InfoPath form (I have InfoPath 2010 on my laptop),...
... I get the error "cannot display web page".
When I change the URL
ms-infopath:ofe|u|http://intranet.water-link.be/samenwerken/awwit/Autorisaties/Gebruikersbeheer/2015-02-25%20Aanvraag%20gebruikersbeheer%20voor%20Stephanie%20Geeraerts.xml

I can open the InfoPath form and read it.
Any ideas about how to fix this ? I already tried to restore the Office 2010 via Control Panel - Install Programs but without any success...

Hi Gert,
As I understand, you can’t open InfoPath form in SharePoint 2013 unless you change the URL without “ms-infopath:ofe|u|”.
There are some reasons which maybe cause this issue, and you can try to do things below:
Access CA -> General Application Settings -> Configure InfoPath Form Service -> Check the two options in User Browser-enabled Form Templates.
Go into the registry by typing regedit from the Run line and rename the SharePoint.OpenDocuments.5 key (ex. SharePoint.OpenDocuments.5.old) under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.
In library settings, click "relink documents to this library".

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 pdf optimizer failure..

We have a problem optimizing files in Acrobat Pro 9.
When we try to optimize (Advance > PDF Optimize) the file(s) Acrobat either chrashes, or just say "an error was encountered while processing images".
It is rather large files we have, from 50Mb to 112Mb and up to 17000 pages.
We cant split them into smaller files.
I can´t find anythin in the error log.
This happends on at least 4 computers, whit diffrent settings and hardware.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

You've likely exceeded your computers' capacity to process the necessary commands specified in the Optimizer settings chosen.
During optimization, a temp file will be created that is approximately the same size as the file being processed. The computer must be able to handle the additional load of each page being analyzed and processed. Text is not so bad, but layered images can be murder on memory.
There are some cases when an optimized pdf might actually end up being a larger file size than the original. Sometimes a simple Save As can dramatically reduce file size.
What is the goal of the optimization? How are you planning to distribute the document? Is there a reason for not providing multiple files instead of one large file? If you can give a few more details, some of the folks here might be able to give some helpful ideas.
FYI: A good article: "Understanding Acrobat's Optimizer" http://www.appligent.com/talkingpdf-understandingacrobatsoptimizer
It doesn't answer your question, but does provide good information about making optimizer choices

To remove line items from invoice which have 0 qty.

Dear Friends,
Requirement: To remove line items from invoice which have 0 qty.
For this I wrote the code in RV60AFZZ. It is very well happening, but when last line item comes it is failing.
What I have written is " DELETE XVBRP WHERE FKIMG = '0' ." . This code is deleting all the line items with 0 qty except last line item.
Actually, this exit works line item wise. Once the line item is appended, the code what I have written is working. For the last line item, record is not appended when this exit is triggerred, thats why last record is not deleted.
The include where all line items are getting appended in XVBRP is LV60AB03. I modified this also. Same code I have written here to delete the records once it is appended. But after doing this the problem is - invoice is not getting created.
Please help me in doing this so as to delete this last record also. I tried with other logics also, not able to track the last record.
Please help me to resolve this problem.
Thanks.

Hi,
Check user exit RV60AFZC.
RV_INVOICE_DOCUMENT_ADD is the FM which is called to generate number for the invoice after all the line items have been added to vbrp structure. Add a break-point here and check.
All the best.
Regards,
Amit

Delete Pages, file size, PDF Optimizer Clean Up

Using Acrobat 9 Pro (for Windows, if that makes any difference).
I have a 148 page PDF of a magazine, about 58 MB in size.
I Deleted 40 pages of ads, leaving just the useful content.
The file size is still about 58 MB.
When I run Advanced -> PDF Optimizer,
the file size goes down to about 47 MB.
The Optimizer settings don't seem to matter.
Even with just "Clean Up" checked, all its options UNchecked,
and Compression set to "Leave Compression Unchanged"
the file size is still reduced.
I have tried several other PDF editors and tools,
and none of them reduce the file size after deleting the 40 pages,
even using their "optimize" or "compress" functions.
Can someone explain why deleting pages does not reduce the file size,
and what the Optimizer is doing (that the other tools don't do)
to reduce the file size ?
Thanks,
-- Glenn
