What is a Resonable Shared Review File Size?

I have a user group that is having some problems with their shared reviews.  They are snding thier documents out on a WedDav server and the files are about 50 to 100 mg.  Doe to the file size some of the reviews are experiening download times of up to 30 minutes and when they try to oprn the review in Reader or Acroabt they get a error massage that the file is too large.  Is there a internal issue here or should a start exploring on how to break these files up into multiple reviews.  If the later what is a reasonable file size?

2GB is the maximum size limit.
Anything over 20mb requires download via Wi-Fi or docked connection.

  • What is the recommende​d maximum file size for a VI ?

    1.) I am involved in documenting a project that includes LabView developed controls for a built from scratch test instrument. The LabView I am wading through involves multiple VIs, many of which are large files that are difficult to decipher. I would like the programmer to consider reducing the VI file sizes by breaking the large VIs up into sets of smaller VIs. What would be a target file size to shoot for?
    2.) Is it possible to avoid the use of global variables in LabView projects made up of multiple sub-VIs?
    Lost in Code

    Probably better guidelines that dictates 'size' of a vi are:
    typically no more than 1 video screen in size
    is it legible
    and is it's function and operation clear.
    I have seen examples of '1 vi does it all' that were many screens wide and tall, totally a flustercuck, and nearly 1 MB in size.
    Globals and local variables (except for LV2 style) are typcially shunned for they can create a host of problems (race conditions, indeterminant data).
    Use connector pane to wire controls and indicators to. Then use wires between vi's to transfer data. I tend to use clusters to hold shared data.

  • What is an idea of maximum file size for a film in Captivate?

    Hi there,
    I'm creating an elearning course in Captivate 7, and it is being published as HTML5. This means the films I've imported are being converted to MP4s, and they are around 10-20mb in size once they've converted. They seem very slow to load on some computers - do you think the file size is too big? Or could it be another issue? Does anyone have a recommendation for maximum file size for films? They are 572 x 322px and around 1-2 mins in length.
    Thanks in advance

  • When bouncing- what's best method for smallest file size/highest quality?

    I am in the process of embedding 3 mp3's into a PDF to submit as a portfolio. The PDF also has text, and two scores included, and with the 3 embedded mp3's it can't be more than 10mb.
    So my question is: When bouncing a project out of Logic, what is the best method for getting the smallest file size, but retaining the best audio quality? And once it's out of Logic and it is an mp3 or other type of audio file, is there a best format for compressing it further, and still maintaining the relative quality?
    I bounced out the three projects into wav's. Now I am using Switch for Mac to compress them down to smaller Mp3's. I basically need them to be about 3 mb each. Two of the recordings sound OK at that size, but they are just MIDI(one project is piano and string quartet, the other is just piano- all software instruments. The recording that combines MIDI and Audio and has more tracks (three audio tracks and 10 Midi/software instrument tracks)and sounds completely horrible if I get it under 5 mb as an mp3. The problem is that I need all three to equal around 9mb, but still sound good enough to submit as a portfolio for consideration into a Master's program.
    If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. Please be detailed in your response, because I am new to logic and I really need the step by step.
    Thank you...

    The highest bitrate that falls within your limits. You'll have to calculate how big your MP3's can be, then choose the bitrate that keeps the size within your limit. The formula is simple: bitrate is the number of kilobits per second, so a 46 second stereo file at 96 kbps would be 96 x 46 = 4416 kbits / 8* = 552 kBytes or 0.552 MB. (*8 bits = 1 Byte)
    So if you know the length of your tracks you can calculate what bitrate you need to keep it within 10 MB total.
    I consider 128 kbps the lowest bearable bitrate for popsongs and other modern drumkit based music. Deterioration of sound quality is often directly related to the quality of the initial mix and the type of instruments used in it. Piano(-like) tones tend to sound watery pretty quickly at lower bitrates, as do crash and ride cymbals. But don't take my word for it, try it out.
    And once it's out of Logic and it is an mp3 or other type of audio file, is there a best format for compressing it further, and still maintaining the relative quality?
    You can only ZIP the whole thing after that, but that is just for transport. You'll have to unzip it again to use it. And no, you cannot compress an MP3 any further and still play it.
    I bounced out the three projects into wav's. Now I am using Switch for Mac to compress them down to smaller Mp3's.
    That is silly, you could have done that in Logic, which has one of the best MP3 encoders built in. And how good encoders are will especially come out at bitrates around or below 128, which you might be looking at.
    I basically need them to be about 3 mb each.
    So, one more scrap of info we need here: how long are those three pieces, exactly? I'll calculate the bitrate for you - but please bounce 'm directly out of Logic as MP3's. They will very probably sound better than your WAV-conversions made with Switch.

    Length of the piece? And does the .Wav bounce you have sound OK?

  • Automatically send out shared review files from hotfolder?

    Hi - I haven't been able to find an answer so I hope you can help me.
    Basically, I have a group of 10 people who always needs to review PDF files.
    Currently one of them is taking care of sending out for shared review but I would like to eliminate that step as it takes a lot of time.
    Is it possible to automate this process, e.g. by placing PDFs in a hotfolder and have them sent out automatically for these 10 people? Or is there another option that could completely eliminate the need for a person to send them out for shared review?
    Any suggestions are very welcome.
    Regards,
    Filip Jensen

    Hi Filip,
    Unfortunately shared reviews are designed to be a manual process initiated on the desktop.

  • Linking Questions cs5: Linking within the Same file, Sharing links, file size bloat

    I have to make print cards for my job. Print cards being a 1 page version of the Larger package layout that the place I work manufactures. On this print card is a section for customer info on top, and the print representation on the bottom. What I've been doing is using two files. The first file is the full-scale art on one artboard, and the customer info on the second artboard, but both within one file.
      On the second file, I combine the two. I still use two artboard because it's a front and back print-off. The front page (1st art board, 2nd file), is the customer info at the top (linked from the 2 art board, 1st file) and the full art shrunk to fit below (also linked).  the back page (2nd art board, 2nd file) is the individual elements of the artwork, zoomed in for easier viewing. For the second page, I use masked links from the fullsize art, sized appropriately. The reason it's important that they all use links, is so if I update the art, it will update the print cards as well.
      I've been trying to stream-line this process. This works ok, but the numerous links bloat the file size, and I have to email these to customers. I've started using "Flatten Transparency" on all my Print cards (2nd file) and saving it as a separate .pdf. This cuts out the links, but then all of my masked images are hiding the whole original file behind their mask. So then I started manually cropping each individual masked area, which helps, but once I've gone through this whole process, I don't think I've saved any of the time my template was supposed to save.
    file://localhost/Users/troubleinthemaking/Desktop/PRINT%20MINI%20EXAMPLE.pdf
      My questions are these:
    Is there any way to link to elements within the same file? Like from a different artboard?
      I've successfully 'Placed' an artboard from the same file, back into that file (but a different artboard), but this creates a never-ending Save/Update loop. I'd like a better way to do this.
    Is there a way to have all instances of a linked file, draw from the same place? i.e. When you update a single link, all instances of that Link would update. plus this would, in theory, cut down on the file size.
    Is there any way to automatically have every masked link crop itself after using the flatten transparency command?
      Even if I had to select them first. I haven't had any luck selecting them all and then using the pathfinder crop tool. I've had to do each one individually.
    I know this last one can't really be answered without seeing everything on my machine. I don't even know what info I'd need to give...
    WHY MY FILE SIZE SO BIG!
    Thanks ahead of time.
    -Jefferson

    Jefferson:
    There's a few things you can do to make your files smaller, such as using the Action "Delete All Unused Panel Items" which will removed all unused Symbols, Graphic Styles, Brushes and Swatches from your Illustrator files. Those little items add up to bloating a file.
    You also need to examine the images that you place into your Illustrator file. Any unnecessary layers or channels? Can the files be flattened before being placed in Illustrator? You can always keep a "working" Photoshop file of all that extra goobledeegook and then flatten the file and do a "Save As" and place that in the Illustrator file. And that could be a Photoshop EPS saved with a TIFF Preview and JPEG Encoding (Maximum Quality), which will save some MBs.
    But, you should never sacrifice file size for quality. If these files are going to print, you should be using an FTP program to transfer the files and not email them. Email should not be used for files over 5 MB. If all you want to do is send the customer a Low Resolution PDF Proof for approval via Email, that's fine and dandy, but send the final large size files to the Printer via FTP.

  • What do I loose with "Reduce File Size" to Acrobat 8.0 compatability?

    When scanning documents using the Acrobat interface in 9.0, I find that the file sizes are very large...about 1.5MB per page. If I then select the "reduce File Size" option from the Document tab, and select Acrobat 8.0 and later compatibility, the file size is reduced by 10 fold....to something approaching 150 KB per page. I don't see degradation of the scanned image on my screen....but am I loosing image quality?

    I tried it at home & I used the optimize pdf thing. It went from 17MB to 12MB so I re-optimized it & got it down to 3MB. It's as good as it is going to get. The big problem is that the .pdf that I have was scanned on a copier machine.
    I printed the 3MB pdf on the color printer & it came out okay, but then I printed it on the black & white printer & it barely had any ink on the page....
    I am just going to not bother with it anymore. Not much I can do with a scanned document & it's not even my job to begin with!
    Thanks Bill.

  • What should I work with for an initial file size for final print pieces that range from 18"x12" to 40' x 20'.

    I am shooting in Canon RAW and using background plates with green screen images. I am not certain whether I need to create the initial file in multiple sizes for the various final print pieces, or if a single file size should be used and then down-rezzed or uprezzed based on what needs to be printed.
    File sizes are:
    18" x 12" (inches)
    40" x 27" (inches)
    30" x 60" (inches)
    60" x 120" (inches)/5' x 10' (feet)
    20' x 40' (feet)
         The largest size format we are doing as 1/10 scale at 720 dpi to go down to 72 dpi for print.
    Any suggestions would be helpful. Much thanks.

    Is it ok to delete the stuff from the Final Cut Express Documents since I don't need it anymore?

  • Shared review not working for me in Adobe Pro 9

    Suddenly, I'm not able to do shared reviews in Adobe Pro 9.5.5 on my Mac, OSX. I have been doing shared reviews successfully for the last several months. I deleted some preferences files recently and may have accidentally deleted an important Adobe preference file, but I'm not sure, and am not sure if this has to do with my current problem. Now I download shared review files that are emailed to me, open them in Acrobat, and nothing happens--no indication that this is a shared review file. My colleagues don't have any problems with the same files, and I am connected to the server we use. I can participate in a shared review with the same files if I open them in Adobe Reader XI.
    Any ideas? Thanks! 

    I've been having the exact same problem today and yesterday, and I've been doing shared reviews for years. I am definitely logged in, I've checked every setting that I can think of, rebooted my computer, logged in and out and in and out, still nothing. Adobe: Did you guys make some changes? Everyone where I work has definitely noticed the occasional Acrobat server hiccups, but this time, my problem is exactly as described above: My colleagues on the shared review are able to see the shared review, but mine just comes up as any other pdf file. Adobe: Can you shed some light onto what's going on? It's frustrating!!

  • Shared Review does not email invitations to reviewers

    I teach Acrobat in a junior college. I have used the Shared Review feature in Acrobat Pro 9 many times including sending a shared review to the entire class. I just tried doing that again and no one received an email invitation. I tried it again and had the same results.
    When I open the Shared Review file on my PC, I get the "Welcome Back" dialog box with all the student emails listed (see SharedReview-1.jpg). I click OK.
    Then I choose Track Reviews and that screen opens (see SharedReview-2.jpg).
    If I click Email All Reviewers, I get an error message: "An Error Occured While Sending Email."
    I sent a shared review to myself and that invitation came through properly. I sent the link in that email to students asking them to access the review that way. They were able to download the file and add a comment but the Publish Comments option did not work.
    Your thoughts.
    As an aside: Is there an upper limit to the number of persons who can participate in a shared review? I'm wondering if that is what is causing the initial Shared Review to fail. I listed 27 email addresses in the To: field.
    Jeff Sengstack

    I have been having trouble, both from home and last week from the college I teach at. I was using the Acrobat.com method for a shared review, and the emails did not go out from home this morning.
    Last week, at the college, I had to send all emails via my web email client, because we cannot have a "normal" email client working at the college on the lab computers. As an adjunct that is all I have access to at the college.
    What configuration is needed for email invitations to go out successfully?

  • Is there a definitive guide for setting up a web server folder to properly host an Adobe Shared Review?

    In an effort to replace Acrobat.com as the host of a shared review file, I have found myself going in circles. I have prepared a folder on our web server, yet I cannot get Acrobat to connect during the send for shared review process. I get the "A network connection could not be created" status message.
    I have found many responses to questions about the change telling me that using a web server folder is an option, but no guide for the requirements of its configuration. Can anyone help? What kinds of permissions, protocols, details must I verify to make sure a web server folder will work?
    Adobe?

    I was under the impression that any webdav would do.

  • Why Does Save As-PDF/A reduce file size when I don't want it to?

    I scanned a 4-paged printed card with my Epson Perfection 4490 scanner in order to digitally archive it. Each page is about 5x7 inches, and I scanned at 100 percent. I scanned each page as an individual TIFF image file, at 600 samples per inch.
    I brought each TIFF image file into Photoshop one at a time. I saved each TIFF as a JPEG, at Quality: 8, Baseline ("Standard").
    Then, I brought the JPEG's into Adobe Acrobat Pro to create a 4-paged PDF. Initially, the file size of the saved 4-paged PDF was 5 MB. (Later, I determined the individual JPEG's add up to 5.2 MB.) When saving as PDF/A, the final format that I want to use, the file size was unexpectedly reduced from 5 MB to 2.5 MB.
    What is the reason for the file size being reduced to 2.5 MB? I had already done the compression that I wanted in Photoshop. The PDF was not downsampled. I purposely did not use Optimizer.
    I did a test. This time, in Photoshop, I compressed each TIFF to JPEG, at Quality: 5, Baseline ("Standard"), the Medium setting instead of the High setting. After bringing these JPEG's into Adobe Acrobat Pro, the saved 4-paged PDF was 2.8 MB in size, an expected smaller size. Saving as PDF/A produced a file of 2.6 MB in size, very close to the same size this time, possibly indicating it accepting the Medium quality level.
    Apparently, saving as PDF/A reduces the quality level of JPEG's to Medium quality, when they are of higher quality to begin with. It seems to be designed to optimize even when I don't want it to.

    Here's the Audit Space Usage for the original 5 MB file. It shows the images taking up the majority of the space, as expected:

  • How do I reduce a Word doc file size? (346 MP: 50 pages of text; no pictures)

    I have a Macbook Air (circa 2010) using OS X 10.9.2. I have Office 2011 and am having trouble with a Word doc. It's 50 pages of just text (no pictures) but is 346.8 MB. It takes forever to save and Word crashes a lot. I have checked for updates to Word.
    The only thing I can think of is that it copied over audio from audio notes. As background, I took text and audio notes in individual word documents for a semester's worth of classes. I then wanted all of the text together so I copied and pasted each class's notes into this document (in print layout, not in notebook layout). As far as I can tell, the audio did not come along to the new file. But I can't think of what else would cause the enormous file size.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've already changed the auto save and copy and paste settings. I also tried File > Reduce File Size, but that didn't help because the doc has no pictures.
    Edit: I should also add, I don't want to lose the formatting, which is why I haven't tried just copying and pasting it into a text doc or something. It has headings, subheadings, etc.

    Have you considered this ... since you suspect there may be old garbage in the file?
    Try creating a brand new document in Word.  Then try copying and pasting the old document into the new one.  You may choose to do this in sections, or a few pages at a time.

  • PDF Portfolio File Size

    Hello,
    we are using portfolios for a few years to archive technical documents. The portfolios contain forms, datasheets, manuals.
    Recently we had to convert to Acrobat X Pro. As already dicussed in this thread the new layouts provided there are not very useful for everydays work.
    What really hurts is, that the file size has increased a lot. But it seems nothing to have to do with the layout itself.
    The "Grid with filepreview" is in the meantime available for Acrobat X here. But also this very basic layout needs the same space.
    In Acrobat 9 a portfolio might even have less size then the sum of its components.
    Are there any possibilities to shrink them down in Acrobat X?
    Thanks in advance
