Shrinking the size of a form

Hi
After I create a form (using Adobe X Pro/Live Cycle) can I reduce size of the form before releasing it for general use? I know how to optimize a pdf I fill in... this is before that, while the form is being created... The form I created is just over 1 MG and our procurement system doesn't allow attachments that size (and the user base isn't that Adobe sophisticated to be able to optimize the form on their own).
thanks
Mark.

Two areas to check
1) Are you using images? If so verify that you've optimized the size of the image before adding it to the form
2) Are you embedding fonts? If the fonts are commonly installed on the users system don't embed the fonts

Can I shrink the size of a form text box based on the content?

We are helping a customer migrate from some MS Word forms to use pdf forms. We are screenscraping the data from an AS400 green screen system and populating these new pdf forms with data. however some of the text boxes are in the middle of a sentence and the text box needs to be large enough to fit 50 characters but there are many times when the data we are entering is much less than 50. The resulting document looks very strange with all of that extra white space in the middle of a sentence due to the size of the text box.
So can we somehow shrink the size of the text box to fit the number of characters in the box?
I considered making the box smaller and setting the font size to auto but I think that would look even more strange to have a word with smaller font in the middle of a sentence.
Thanks,
Trent

Sorry, I should have mentioned I am using acrobat professional 9. I see that I can change the size of the text field when I am designing the form but what I don't see is how to dynamically change the size of the text field based on what data is put inside it.
Thanks,

By mistake, I shrink the size of a particular page, which firefox then remembers. How do I get the size back to normal?

When moving around on websites, somehow I manage to shrink the size of what is shown on the screen. I have not figured out how to get the size back to 'normal'. However, Firefox remembers this so when I reenter this particular size, it will still be in the smaller format. Very frustrating and as this has happened for at least two of my most watched sites, I am more and more using competing formats, e.g. Explorer.
I have alsl asked more experienced users of Internet to try to solve this but they are as lost as I am.
Looking forward to getting your advice.
Best regards,

I need to shrink the size of my 5gb fcp x movie so I can upload it to a specific site. If I buy this compressor will it be able to do that?

The file is currently just over 5gb and the site where the video needs to be uploaded will not take anything over 5gb. Is this the type of program I need to shrink the size of my project or should I use/do something else?

Hi Russ,
Thanks again. I feel like I"m so close and hitting stumbling blocks and not finding answers when I google it.
After I hit submit a sub box pops up with:
Name: name of my video
Cluter: Options or none or other
Priority: High
It then gives me an option to cancel, but the submit button on this box is greyed out.

How to calculate the size of web forms in hyperion planning?

Hi Experts,
I am trying to calculate the size of planning forms in Hyperion smart view., but i am unable to find out the way to calculate.
Can you pls explain how to calculate the size of web form in Smart view?
--- Srini.

Hi Srini,
First, here is what Oracle says:
Data Form Size Estimation:
To get a rough estimate of data form size, open the data form and select File > Save As from the browser. The size of the .HTML file is the portion of the data form that changes based on grid size. The .JS files remain the same size and can be cached, depending on browser settings. Information such as data form definitions, pages, and .gif files are not compressed when data forms are opened and sent to the Web browser.
I have not been able to find out using their method.
In any case, you can find out the size of grid by using below
1. Right click on the form grid and click "View source"
2. Save the source file as "Example.html"
3. Right click the saved file and click "Properties"
4. The Form size whould be same as that of file..
Let me know if it helps.
Cheers
RS

To shrink the size of TEMP tablespace

Dear all,
There is a databse with RAC, now in OEM the size of TEMP tablespace has been reached at 99.9%. now we want to shrink the size of TEMP tablespace.
how to we do that???????
plz help me...........

Temporary tablespaces usually show they are full, however this space is not actually in use. It is rather allocated. Oracle has evaluated the best way to obtain the most of performance, and he said it is better to allocate once than allocate-deallocate-reallocate extents, so temporary space is not 'released'.
If you want to feel psychologically more confortable with lower allocated space, you can drop your tablespace (create an interim default temporary tablespace first) and recreate it.
You can also rebuild temporary datafiles:
alter tablespace temp add tempfile 'C:\ORACLE\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\TEMP01.dbf' size 32m;
SQL> select name from v$tempfile;
NAME
C:\ORACLE\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\TEMP.DBF
C:\ORACLE\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\TEMP01.DBF
SQL> alter database tempfile 'C:\ORACLE\ORACLEXE\ORADATA\XE\TEMP01.DBF' drop including datafiles;
Database altered.

How to shrink the size of JRE?

Hi,
I wrote a simple Java utlity that performs some business logic for my clients. It is going to run on Windows environments. I created a .exe for this Java application. Obviously It also needs JRE. I made sure that JRE is also shipped along with this application. But the size of JRE is around 70 MB. Is there anyway to shrink the size of JRE? What is best practice for such a thing?
Thanks in advance,
Mustafa

I'm not sure what the licensing implications are of customizing your own derivative of Sun's JRE, presuming that's the one you're using. If the agreement permits, you could remove classes you know that you won't use from the runtime JAR.
Your best bet, though, sounds like using a Java-to-native compiler. There are a number of applications out there that could produce a Windows executable from your Java code and, since you know it's only going to be run on Windows machines, you lose very little if anything by going through this process.
Best of luck.

How can you shrink the size of an upright picture to make it smaller without losing any of the detail in it??? At the moment, if I view them on my laptop, landscape photos fill the screen, but portrait photos only show the middle part.

How can you shrink the size of an upright picture to make it smaller without losing any of the detail in it (in Slideshow)??? At the moment, if I view them on my Mac Laptop, landscape photos fill the screen, but portrait photos only show the middle part, so I loose the top and bottom of the picture. Have tried cropping, but that means I lose top and bottom part of the picture, so that is not the answer!!

Homestly haven't a clue what's going on there.
Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

The size of a form viewer

Hi, friends,
For some reasons, I would like to develop an off-line tool say a form viewer using Java Swing. The data will be stored in xml files. The form viewer will display the data as electronic form. A user can edit the form and store the updated form in another xml file. The tool should also allow to compare the data stored in two seperated xml files. The tool should also allow to merge the data in two seperated xml files and store the result in a new xml file.
Do you have any idea of the size of this application?
I would like to know if this tool can be sent by flopy diskette.
Thanks in advance.

Well, this question is objective... but based on how Java compiles code, it's hard to get applications up to 1.4 MB in size.
The great thing about java is that it compiles only the classes that get used in your application. By comparision, C++ programs will compile all the files included in your application whether you use all the classes or not. This adds a lot of bulk to C++ programs.
In general, you applications my reach up to a couple hundred KB if they are very complex. I would assume your xml application my be about 100 KB if it has a lot of classes involved. Plus you can compress the files into one Jar file to make it smaller and easier to distribute.
Just from experience I would say you final application will be under 100 KB. Just my opinion.
Also, remember the user of your application needs the Java runtime environment intalled...

How do I shrink the size of the white area box to see more of the persona?

I would like to shrink the white area of the home page, so that most of the persona shows. All I use the white area for is the search feature, and the rest is blank. I asked a similar question before, but it was too technical to understand. Now, I can't even return to that answer.
I would like to have a more customizable web page, where I can move, re-size, or even delete parts of it. Mostly, I would like to see the persona, which is pretty. A programmable home page, which could use something like Print Shop or other greeting card setups, would be good.
I do not think I am the only one who does not understand the written instructions for this. I tried to follow them, but I messed up the design even more. Please look at Optimum Online, which has video tutorials, where someone actually shows you what to do and talks you through it. I set up my Optimum Online and Cablevision settings with that.

Personas decorate the Toolbar area ''(and maybe the Status bar at the bottom)'' of the Firefox browser window - the UserInterface; the "white area" below the Personas is the content area where the web page is displayed. Having a "more customizable web page" wouldn't do anything to display more of the Persona image. If you want a "customizable homepage" where you can move content around the page or add and remove items, find a web page like that and set that as your homepage in Firefox. You can any web page that you want as your "Homepage", you can even have multiple "homepages" in separate Tabs.<br />
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
If you want to see more of the Persona image vertically, you need to add some toolbars via the Toolbar Customize mode or by installing some Toolbar extensions that add a Toolbar to the Firefox UI. You need to add something to every new toolbar that you add, even a blank '''Space'''; if you don't place anything on a newly created Toolbar it will disappear when you exit the Customize mode. <br />

See if one those videos explains the process for you.

How do I shrink the size of a window on my desktop when online?

I have a Mac desktop. I used to be able to go to the edge of the window or bottom or corner with my cursor and get a image that I could click and hold to change the size of my open window. I have unloaded and reloaded Firefox but still can't work. Called Apple and went to Safari and it works. Where did it go?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

I need to shrink the size of please tell me i dont have to do all seperately.

hi help needed. i needed to shrik my songs, i was told to create AAC versions which i did do about 20 and it saved me quite a bit of space so now i would like to do all of my music that way. only 1 big problem i have 17453 songs please please tell me i dont have to do them all seperately, and there has to be a way that either deletes the old version automatically as then i will have double that amount and would take weeks to delete all the copies. please any advice would help.

Isn't it handy that I just wrote a script called ConvertFormat that would seem to answer your need. You do need to be sure the target format you are going to switch to is good enough for your aural pleasure because once you have sacrificed some quallity to shrink the files you can't get it back. The script preserves ratings, play counts, playlist membership etc. (excluding smart playlists dependant on format/bitrate).
I'd also strongly recommend you backup your media first. If you are only doing this to make room on your local drive rather than say squeeze more onto your devices then I'd seriously consider investing in more storage as making this move now will likely only stave off the inevitable.
The script replaces each selected file with a new copy in your chosen import format/bitrate. The originals are sent to the recycle bin to give you one last chance to reverse an error. If you want to convert your whole library you will probably have to do it in stages so you can clear out the trash. I'd also make a smart playlist that identifies "large" files, i.e. those in the format/bitrate you want to convert from so that you can't accidentally downsample the same file more than once.

If you are using LiveCycle (Designer), you need will need to ask in the LiveCycle forum. However, for Designer forms you have a container of XML elements, not really the original PDF. So I do not think that any reduction can be done in Acrobat.
