Reducing SWF published size

Hello all,
My colleague and I are new to Captivate and are currently
slogging up the learning curve.
Our first newbie mistake was to create an absolutely enormous
narrated PowerPoint CP product (250MB cp file / 28 MB SCORM zip
file).
The question:: Short of chopping up or otherwise editing
down, can anyone point me to any guidelines around publish settings
that will help reduce the file size without significantly impacting
quality?
For example
- To what degree does the audio sample rate impact file size?
- What's the effect of high sample rate but low (FM) audio
quality, etc.?
- Anyone have any best practice combinations?
Sincerest thanks in advance for your time and
consideration!

Reducing SWF file size

I've customised OSMF to fit my needs (streaming video and some design changes), but the file is around 240kb in size, which is a lot.
Could somebody here share a process for reducing the file size of compiled swf? Specifically, which classes can be deleted?
Do I just go through everything, remove some classes and delete all references pointing to them?
As I already mentioned only basic video streaming functionality is needed. No authorisation/playlists/xml skins etc.
Thanks in advance!

Roger Gonzalez (who works on the ActionScript VM engine I
believe) has a wonderful blog on how to make a flex app run lighter
and more efficient.
Take a peek here:

I don't know how well it will trim down an empty application,
but might help alot as your applications get bigger.

In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

Have Tips On reducing .EXE File Size?

Hello,
Captivate exe file sizes are huge compared to comparable exe files produced by competitor software. I set my slide quality to Low, set swf conversion to 16 bit instead of 32 bit, set swf Size And Quality to 50%, and the .exe files are still huge. In fact, changing these settings made no difference to the file size.
Anyone have any tips on reducing the file size of the Captivate Exes, or do you know of any utility that can make .exe files smaller?
Thanks,
Mike

OK somewhere I got mixed up here.
So far as I know, this blig post from the Adobe Captivate Blog explains what is meant to work
http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2009/01/adding_rightclick_in_captivate.html
Check the list at the bottom of the page:-
1. Security Setting:   Ensure that the SWF you
published is in Flash Player's trusted path. If you are publishing to
default folder (%My Document%\My Adobe Captivate Project) then you do
not need worry about security settings as captivate automatically adds
that path into trusted path of flash player.
                               2. Disable accessibility: In order to make Right-click work you will need to disable Accessibility from
                               Adobe Captivate 4-> Preferences->Project->Publish settings->Enable Accessibility
                               3. Right-Click will not work in stand-alone SWF file.
                               4. PDF and AVI publish: Right-Click doesn’t work in PDF and AVI publish.
                               5. EXE publish: Right-Click work for AS2 EXE publish but not for AS3 EXE publish
                               6. Preview (F4/F8/F10): Right-Click work for AS2 movies but not for AS3 movies
                               7. Preview (F12, in Web Browser): Right-Click works for both AS2 & AS3.
                               8. SWF Publish (the standard one) : Works for both AS2 and AS3.
                               9. Flash Player Version: Right Click Doesn’t work for movie published Flash Player versions
                           earlier than 8.0
If you are complying with the suggestions here (AS 2 EXE?) then right-click is supposed to work. But I have a feeling I've missed something in what you've said ... or you said it in another post which I've not read.

How to reduce EAR file size of ADF 11 g Application.

Hi
I developed the ADF 11 g Aplication using jdeveloper tool.i deployed it on WLS10.3 successfully and able to run it also.
Through wizards in jdeveloper i created the EAR file.while packing the EAR file ,if i included the required libraries in WAR my EAR size is 27
MB.this size all becoz of libraries.Along with these libraries my application is using the shared libraries on my WLS.
In WLS while creating domain i installed ADF runtime .so i have oracle.adf.domain ,jsf,jstl as shared libraries which are required to run my
application.
My Problem is EAR file size i.e 27 MB.this size i am taking for single oracle form.like these forms i have to deploy 100 forms. so i am facing
problem with size.
Can you suggest me any other ways are there to reduce my EAR size?
To solve this problem,while crearting EAR file for every form the libraries included in WAR are common,so i extracted those libraries and added
to the WLS classpath.(so no need to pack those libraries every time when i am creting EAR.)here i am getting eror.the error is classnot found exception "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.faces.context.FacesContextFactory".But this class is alredy persent in jsf-api.jar which exist in jsf deployed as shared library.why WLS is not taking the class present in shared library in this case?
if EARs,shared libraries,classes in classpath will be there,how WLS will load classes?what hierarchy it will follow.
Detailed error i am putting here.

Do I need to reduce the images size in pixels before upload them to M.Me?

Do I need to reduce the images size in pixels (actual size jpeg 5616 × 3744 pixels/766kb) before upload them from iPhoto to a Mobile Me Gallery?
Otherwise they will be heavy or the upload process take care of that?
It would be nice that iPhoto took care and optimize the images to display online without any more work, because I´ve 1200 images to upload and they´re jpegs 5616 × 3744 pixels. It´s just to viewing purposes. Not o download or print.
Thanks.

In fact no matter if I use a High or Medium compression size JPEG, the size after upload is the same.
Starts with 1,5 MB/5600px (high) or 780kb/5600px (medium) JPEG and ends after upload in 115kb for a 1024px image.
This means that iPhoto auto compress in order to publish to Mobile Me, even if we start with a bigger file.
I hope this info is useful to others.
Thanks.

Adobe Flash CS5 generating SWF file size more then fla file?

Hi,
I have developed a video player in adobe flash cs4 and used all vector arts but when I open this fla file in Adobe Flash CS5 and published it, the swf file size more then fla file.
Please see the details below -
Adobe Flash CS4 -
Index.fla file size: 523 KB
Index.swf file size: 55 KB
Adobe Flash CS5 (Same file when open in CS5 and published)

SWF File Size and Rollover Text Problem

Hi and thanks in advance for any input.
Two problems....
1. SWF File Size
I've made a fairly small (at least in my eyes its small) flash site. However, even tho there really isn't much content, the swf is already 2.4mb and I haven't even finished it. It loads fine on my internet speed, but im worried about general users with slower internet. Is there something i should be doing to get the file size down (hopefully without comprimising quality).
2. Text Buttons (Movie Clips)
The rollover function (Event Listener) for MCs containing text keeps running while the mouse is over the button. I.E. It isnt treating the text box as a button, its treating the text only as a button, so as you roll between one letter and another, the rollover is re-set and re-starts.
The Swf is here.
And the FLA is here. *EDIT* - How can i get this fla to you guys? this doesn't seem to work when i try to download file - it just gives a fla.txt file?
Thanks.
Zack.

Reduce bitmap quality (increase compression).
For each bitmap, select "custom quality" in the symbol properties and set it to no more than 80.
Set the mouseChildren property of the button movieclips to false to avoid mouse events from triggering by child objects (the text inside the movieclip).
services_inner.mouseChildren = false;
projects_inner.mouseChildren = false;
etc..

Reducing background image size

Hi all,
I'm working with Captivate 4 and have made a screencast of a particular process for training purposes.
The project has 80 slides - but each background image is 1800+kb. Overall the project comes out at 3 MB even with the highest possible compression in the publishing settings.
The project is to be hosted on the Web so I really don't need this kind of detail in the background images and I can't find anyway to reduce the image size apart from exporting each of the 80 backgrounds into Photoshop, reducing them in size and importing them back into Catptivate. For 80 slides this would take too long.
So, two questions:
How can the background image size be reduced within Captivate?
How can I change the settings so when capturing screenshots the image sizes are smaller in the first place?
Thanks in advance for any tips,
Neil
Is there anyway the

Thanks Lilybiri
I've bene recording at full screen (1024x768 or close enough) in order to get the largest recording space possible - and then resizing the project to 800x600 for the web production. The problem is that there is no optimise for web setting (or none that I can see). I just did another test and each background image is 3000kb - way over the top for something that will be viewed on the web.
Does this help you get a fuller picture? Any advice?
Thanks for sparing your time to answer here btw - much appreciated

A simple and free way of reducing PDF file size using Preview

Note: this is a copy and update of a 5 year old discussion in the Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard discussions which you can find here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/6109398#6109398
This is a simple and free solution I found to reduce the file size of PDFs in OS X, without the high cost and awful UI of Acrobat Pro, and with acceptable quality. I still use it every day, although I have Acrobat Pro as part of Adove Creative Cloud subscription.
Since quite a few people have found it useful and keep asking questions about the download location and destination of the filters, which have changed since 2007, I decided to write this update, and put it in this more current forum.
Here is how to install it:
Download the filters here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/41548940/PDF%20compression%20filters%20%28Un zip%20and%20put%20in%20your%20Library%20folder%29.zip
Unzip the downloaded file and copy the filters in the appropriate location (see below).
Here is the appropriate location for the filters:
This assumes that your startup disk's name is "Macintosh HD". If it is different, just replace "Macintosh HD" with the name of your startup disk.
If you are running Lion or Mountain Lion (OS X 10.7.x or 10.8.x) then you should put the downloaded filters in "Macintosh HD/Library/PDF Services". This folder should already exist and contain files. Once you put the downloaded filters there, you should have for example one file with the following path:
"Macintosh HD/Library/PDF Services/Reduce to 150 dpi average quality - STANDARD COMPRESSION.qfilter"
If you are running an earlier vesion of OS X (10.6.x or earlier), then you should put the downloaded filters in "Macintosh HD/Library/Filters" and you should have for example one file with the following path:
"Macintosh HD/Library/Filters/Reduce to 150 dpi average quality - STANDARD COMPRESSION.qfilter"
Here is how to use it:
Open a PDF file using Apple's Preview app,
Choose Export (or Save As if you have on older version of Mac OS X) in the File menu,
Choose PDF as a format
In the "Quartz Filter" drop-down menu, choose a filter "Reduce to xxx dpi yyy quality"; "Reduce to 150 dpi average quality - STANDARD COMPRESSION" is a good trade-off between quality and file size
Here is how it works:
These are Quartz filters made with Apple Colorsinc Utility.
They do two things:
downsample images contained in a PDF to a target density such as 150 dpi,
enable JPEG compression for those images with a low or medium setting.
Which files does it work with?
It works with most PDF files. However:
It will generally work very well on unoptimized files such as scans made with the OS X scanning utility or PDFs produced via OS X printing dialog.
It will not further compress well-optimized (comrpessed) files and might create bigger files than the originals,
For some files it will create larger files than the originals. This can happen in particular when a PDF file contains other optomizations than image compression. There also seems to be a bug (reported to Apple) where in certain circumstances images in the target PDF are not JPEG compressed.
What to do if it does not work for a file (target PDF is too big or even larger than the original PDF)?
First,a good news: since you used a Save As or Export command, the original PDF is untouched.
You can try another filter for a smaller size at the expense of quality.
The year being 2013, it is now quite easy to send large files through the internet using Dropbox, yousendit.com, wetransfer.com etc. and you can use these services to send your original PDF file.
There are other ways of reducing the size of a PDF file, such as apps in the Mac App store, or online services such as the free and simple http://smallpdf.com
What else?
Feel free to use/distribute/package in any way you like.

Thanks ioscar.
The original link should be back online soon.
I believe this is a Dropbox error about the traffic generated by my Dropbox shared links.
I use Dropbox mainly for my business and I am pretty upset by this situation.
Since the filters themsemves are about 5KB, I doubt they are the cause for this Dropbox misbehavior!
Anyway, I submitted a support ticket to Dropbox, and hope everything will be back to normal very soon.
In the meantime, if you get the same error as ioscar when trying to download them, you can use the link in the blog posting he mentions.
This is out of topic, but for those interested, here is my understanding of what happened with Dropbox.
I did a few tests yesterday with large (up to 4GB) files and Dropbox shared links, trying to find the best way to send a 3 hour recording from French TV - French version of The Voice- to a friend's 5 year old son currently on vacation in Florida, and without access to French live or catch up TV services. One nice thing I found is that you can directly send the Dropbox download URL (the one from the Download button on the shared link page) to an AppleTV using AirFlick and it works well even for files with a large bitrate (except of course for the Dropbox maximum bandwidth per day limit!). Sadly, my Dropbox shared links were disabled before I could send anything to my friend.
I may have used a significant amount of bandwidth but nowhere near the 200GB/day limit of my Dropbox Pro account.
I see 2 possible reasons to Dropbox freaking out:
- My Dropbox Pro account is wronngly identified as a free account by Dropbox. Free Dropbox accounts have a 20GB/day limit, and it is possible that I reached this limit with my testing, I have a fast 200Mb/s internet access.
- Or Dropbox miscalculates used bandwidth, counting the total size of the file for every download begun, and I started a lot of downloads, and skipped to the end of the video a lot of times on my Apple TV.

How can I reduce the file size of a pdf when exporting?

I don't want to just choose between high quality print or smallest file size.
I want to export it from 60MB to 40MB.
Can I do this manually? When I use smallest file size the quality is too low and the content looks bad.
But high quality print exports my PDF at 60MB which is too big.

You cannot simply legislate the size of a PDF file. If you content is primarily text and vector, there is not much at all you can do to reduce PDF file size other than to cut out content. Otherwise, the only other variables are those of downsampling and compressing the raster images from your content.
You must be very careful in choosing the PDF export settings. The “smallest size” settings yield PDF files that realistically really are not fit for printing and may mess up any CMYK colors. The “high quality print” and “PDF/X-4” settings yield best print output, but yield the largest PDF files since they do less image resolution downsampling and only the maximum quality lossy JPEG compression.
I would recommend that you start with either the “high quality print” or the “PDF/X-4” settings and make a custom set of export settings. Assuming that you aren't going for offset or gravure printing, change the color image and grayscale image downsampling values from 300 and 450 to either 200 and 275 or no less than 150 and 225. If that doesn't give enough file size reduction, change the compression image quality from “Maximum” to either “High” or no less than “Medium.” Beyond these changes, you may end up with PDF files that will neither print nor display with any reasonable quality.

How can I reduce the file size of 3 videos?...

...without losing quality? These three videos are as follows in terms of size and length of the video:
1) 148MB 19minutes
2) 357MB 18minutes
3) 164MB 14minutes
I tried using a video converter to reduce the bit rate in order to reduce the size, which i know affects the quality, but that did not actually work to reduce the file size this time.
I thought perhaps i should ask my forum friends for help on this matter. How,if at all, can I get all three of these MOV's under 100mb or to a total of 300mb for all 3 and preserve quality? It has to be able to play on an ipad (MOV or MP4). Thanks for your help!

I think that the point that David was trying to make is that reducing the amount of information originally provided by a product or part of it in order to make it smaller will inevitably reduce the efficiency of the product itself.
However, you don't have access to the original masters? Then you might be after a good compromise, meaning a video that can display decent quality while playing at its original frame size (say on the web).
Does this mean that there is no real way to reduce the size without losing quality?
If your target is the web there is a way to reduce the file size and still make it look decent enough. Re-compression means loss of source information but video compression is an art on its own and can produce some amazing results!
Not without testing though.
Now back to my previous post, use Compressor to try to reduce the file size and compare the result quality. Trust your eyes and be honest with yourself.

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.

How do I reduce the file size of a pdf to email?

I have a 260 MB pdf file generated from Photoshop 6. I can't seem to reduce the size in Photoshop. Is there anyway to reduce the pdf outside of Photoshop? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Scott,
That's a pretty big PDF! You'll have to reduce it pretty dramatically to attach it to an email. But, you can use Acrobat to reduce the file size. Please see this video for pointers: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-to-compress-a-pdf-file
If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it for free for 30 days. For more information, see www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
Best,
Sara

How do i reduce the file size of a picture?

I am trying to reduce the file size of a picture? It is 1.7MB and I need it to be smaller.
Help?

File -> Export
The two settings that most affect the filesize are Jpeg Quality and Size.
