Ways of reducing file size??

Hello,
I have a 3D animation that is rendered to bmp frames.
I have inserted the animations into a Flash doc.
After editing, my final Flash movie/file is 20MB.
what are the best ways of reducing or compressing the file size down to a resonable "web-ready" level? Around 8MB or lower?
I want to avoid lowering the quality from 75%.
Please advise, thanks!

The primary way to reduce file size is to reduce the size of the imported content that the file is holding, meaning images and sound elements.  The ways to reduce the size of those things is to either optimize them before bringing them into the Flash file, or loading them dynamically so that they are not part of the published file's weight.
In your Flash Publish Settings you can select the option to "Generate Size Report"  HAving that report you can see the contributions of each piece to the overall file size, and in turn focus on them to try to bring the size of the file down.

  • Reduce file size in Acrobat X

    What is the best way to reduce file size? The Document menu is no longer an option. When I try to Save As... Reduced File Size or Optimized PDF, the program crashes.

    We aren't Adobe. We're just users like you.
    Regardless, this is something that requires Adobe Acrobat and not Adobe Reader. This is the Reader forum.

  • Reduce file size of Movie Clip

    My swf file is 1.3 MB. It contains a dozen 72dpi images with
    alpha tweening. It is taking awhile to load. Is there a process to
    follow of a free software to reduce the file size?

    The proper way to reduce file size is keep your images
    external and load
    them on demand.

  • Reducing file sizes with symbols when it's already too late

    Is it possible to turn something into a symbol when you have already placed it multiple times on the artboard? I have created very complex artwork that my client is very happy with, but I haven't shown her the file sizes! Ultimately this has to be uploaded to a webpage so it can be downloaded and printed by many people. I think I should have used symbols rather than cutting and pasting bits of art but now it's done and I don't want to redo it if it can be avoided.
    Other ways of reducing file sizes would also be helpful.
    Thanks for any help!

    And what does "downloaded from a website" mean? As PDF? If so, it doesn't matter. You would simply flatten and optimize the PDF. Symbols are AI specific and don't carry over to foreign formats, so it would be wasted effort trying to replace anything. if you still must, try this: http://www.illustrationetc.com/AI_Javascripts/ReplaceScripts.htm

  • Is there a way to reduce the size of my PDF file, created (or I should say, Exported) in InDesign.

    I created a 10-page sale flyer in InDesign CS5 which will be viewed on our website. When I export it as a PDF file, even with the compression at "minimum", the size is still 3.8 MB.
    Is there a way to reduce the size of the PDF file? with InDesign or another tool out there?
    Thanks for your help!

    To expand a little on what Jongware said, normally choosing vector over bitmap will decrease the filesize. If the vector art is very complex though, this will not be true.
    Yup, a logo as bitmap takes up more space than the same as a vector -- unless the vector image is bitmap heavy (think Drop Shadow, Outline Glow; these are actually bitmap effects).
    Also, check your PDF version. "Older" versions do not support live transparency, the latest do. Then again, you cannot use live transparency if you suspect your viewers may be using Mac OS X, because Apple's own PDF viewer sucks big time.

  • Is there a way to reduce the size of a final PDF created for print when saving a file?

    Is there a way to reduce the size of a final PDF created for print when saving in any software (especially illustrator)? I don't want any quality to decrease at the same time. Thanks!

    Personally I would avoid optimizing the PDF's via Adobe Acrobat Pro unless you understand what you are removing from the PDF; having said that, it is the most effective way to reduce the file-size in the right hands.
    If I am sending out layouts for commercial print I change my default Print / Export setting from Standard to PDF/A-1b:2005 (CMYK). This will resolve a lot of common print problems for print-ready documents and it should embed your fonts and flatten transparencies etc.
    If your document is still too large you run an Audit Space Usage using Adobe Acrobat Pro. In the left pane enable 'Content' and then hit the button in the top left corner of the Content Pane and choose Audit Space Usage.

  • Once combine file, it is too large to email. Is there a way to reduce the size of the file?

    Combined files and now it is too large to send. Is there a way to reduce the size of the converted file in Adobe?

    Hi yodonna,
    Adobe Reader doesn't allow you to reduce the size of a PDF file, as Acrobat does. But, you could upload that file to your Acrobat.com account, and create an anonymous link to it using Adobe Send. Then, you could send that link via email. You can access Adobe Send at https://cloud.acrobat.com/send. The Create an Anonymous Link feature doesn't require that you have an Adobe Send subscription.
    Best,

  • Any way to have file size included in the first search in finder?

    Is it possible to somehow show file sizes when doing a search in finder?
    On Panther, it was very helpful to have the file sizes listed. This immediately revealed whether the photoshop files I was looking for were full size or reduced.
    But when I run a search in Snow Leopard it only shows name, kind and last opened. Otherwise I have to also add a second search to add in file size.
    Any way to have file size included in the first search?
    Thanks!

    Well, I wish I could take credit for knowing it was there before two days ago... but I dropped my laptop a couple months ago and it finally died for good on Friday, and I noticed this on the new laptop when setting up my Finder preferences.

  • How do you reduce file size of a PDF if Save As doesnt work?

    I have been trying to reduce the size of a PDF, using the Save As > Optimized PDF method.
    I have also tried Save As > Reduced Size PDF.
    This is on a file made up of 20 pages of full page Jpegs. (These were generated by the script in Photoshop that generates Jpeg files from Layer Comps within the document.)
    If I use Reduced Size PDF, I get a greatly reduced file size but the image quality suffers greatly. (Lots of artifacts and blurryness)
    There are no options to choose the level of compression I want.
    If I use Optimized PDF method, I cant seem to reduce the file size no matter what I set the Jpeg compression to.
    Is there some way to cut the size of the file down but not lose so much image quality?
    Any suggestions?

    Part of the problem here is that the files that are produced when I run the script to output files from layer comps are very big.
    If I "save for web" for each layer comp, I wind up with way smaller Jpegs. Thus a much smaller PDF.
    So the question is: Can you make the script, Layer Comps to Files, create smaller more optimized Jpegs? (Like you get when you save for web)

  • How to set option in Scanning for Reduced File Size

    I am scanning from a Fujitsu 6230 scanner in Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.4.1. My scanning options are Color, 300DPI,Letter, High Quality, with Optimization options of Custom Settings of JPEG for Color/Grayscale. The scanned files are very large...1852KB per page. After using the Reduce File Size option and selecting Acrobat 8 and later, the file size is reduced to 187K. Is there a way to preset the Acrobat 8 or later setting....rather than having to do the two-step?
    Also, if I use Fujitsu's scanning interface I get far higher quality pdf's,  with small file sizes, and lower scanning resolution......but without the option to append to a pdf, an option I use frequently. Apparently their program for converting the scanned image to a pdf is more robust than Adobe's. Is there a way to use their image->pdf engine within Acrobat?

    Hi Boatseller,
    I will put this in simple way.
    Can we set properties in biztalk wcf_custom adaptor like 
    1. <security authenticationMode="UserNameOverTransport" 
    2. enableUnsecuredResponse="True" 
    or 
     includeTimestamp="false"
    3. <textMessageEncoding
    messageVersion="Soap11"/>
    <httpsTransport/>
    I am unable to find these properties in BizTalk wcf_custom adaptor properties. It will be great help if you could guide me in right direction . My problem is to receive response message into orchestration which is not having header. But the response is coming
    from web service. I saw that in fiddler.
    Also, If there is any steps to make these properties available in machine config, please share 
    Thanks in advance

  • Issues in Reducing file size on Acrobat 9.3.1

    The text has been merged or split on Acrobat 9.3.1 Pro by using the option "Reduce File Size" or "PDF Optimizer". There is no issue in the earlier version of Acrobat (7.0 & 8.0). We are using the Mac OS between 10.4.11 to 10.6.2. I have attached screenshots for your reference; please look at the Word "Issues" has been split after reducing file size on Acrobat 9.3.1. Is there any other way to do Hi-Res PDF to Low-Res PDF without any issue? Kindly help me out to sustain the best process in future.

    I found a similar problem with text styled for small caps. It was fine in the original PDF, but became lowercase in the reduced file. The reduction process probably throws away characters from fonts that Acrobat decides are unnecessary.
    I was able to partially solve the problem by combining multiple PDFs (book chapters) and selecting the smallest file size icon at the bottom of the page. Alternately, I chose a web-quality preset, which also worked. The file size might not be quite as small, but the files were good.

  • Trying to reduce file size of my opening page in a flash site

    I'm using the Flash CS4 IDE, and the first page of my site takes a lot longer to load than I want it to.  So I wanted to go through the varied images / symbols / movie clips / sounds and so on to see where all the memory is being chewed up.
    When I go into my library, however, I can see the Name, LInkage, usecound and Type of my elements, but no mention of file size and I can't seem to find any right click menu that lets me add file size to the list of details being displayed.
    Is there a way to make it show file size?  Or some workaround?
    And are there any best practices to reduce file size aside from using symbols for anything that's used more than once and reducing image and sound quality?
    Thanks

    I was actually using the term pretty loosely.  I'm building a Gaia site which works by loading an Index page, then a Nav (navigation) page on top of that, and then lets you load and unload pages as necessary on top of those.
    Since the Nav page never gets unloaded it's a good place to park certain content.  So it's actually my Nav page that's gotten too bloated.  And the coding is handled through a separate Nav.as file (so it's not the first frame of my nav.swf, it's all the varied movie clips I had to incorporate into my Nav.fla
    I'm just looking for a way to identify which MovieClips &  sound files (only have a couple of short ones) and other assets are taking up the most memory so I can see if I can cut those down.
    Also, do unused symbols use up memory or is it only the assets you actually end up adding that count toward file size?
    Thanks

  • Reducing file sizes of multiple PDF's

    Hello everyone,
    I just got hired at a structural engineering company, and we are trying to go "paperless". I am in charge of scanning tons and tons of our old record drawings. We have an old scanner and the PDF's it creates are anywhere between 10,000Kb to 70,000Kb. After I scan every sheet, I am supposed to use the "Reduce file size" option in Adobe Acrobat. I am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional and I always make the files compatible with 5.0, which reduces the file size by 1/6 - 1/10. I've only been able to reduce 1 sheet at a time, which again, is time consuming. Is there a way I can reduce multiple files at once? I looked online and found an article here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Standard/WS65C0A053-BC7C-49a2-88F1-B1BCD2524B68.w. html, saying that in Adobe Acrobat 9.0, I can select "Apply to multiple" to reduce multiple files. Is there a way I can do it without upgrading?
    Thank you in advance.

    Unfortunately, it's not possible if you're using Acrobat XI. In previous
    versions you can tell an Action to ignore non-PDF files but this feature
    was removed in XI. Also, 35,000 files is way too much for Acrobat to
    process. You need a more robust application for such a batch processing
    task.

  • Reducing file size produces a larger file (?)

    I have a 3.8mb pdf (created in Acrobat 9) that I'd like to reduce in size. It's text only (about 450 pages) and when I select "Reduce file size" Acrobat X goes through steps to optimize it for the web, and it comes out 5.1 mb. Not really much of a reduction in size if it's now a meg and a half larger than the original. Is there a better way to do this that I'm missing here?

    There are many things that could cause the issues. Under the Optimize option (or wherever it went in AAX) there is an audit function that allows you to see where the storage is going. You could compare before and after optimization to see what was happening. You say 450 pages is not much, but that all depends on what is there. If it is a lot of graphics, it could be huge. If you use a lot of different fonts, that can cause extra storage of all those fonts. So there are many variables and sometimes they do get bigger -- happened to me too. Unfortunately, when you are trying to make things smaller, you are often under the gun and don't have time to diddle around. Good luck.
