Why are my CS2 files getting bigger?

Every time I save a CS2 InDesign file, it gets bigger. I've noticed that I can wipe out every page and item and save a file, and it's still bigger. The only way to make it smaller is to save it under a different name. What's going on? Is there some preference that can stop this?

ID saves all the undo information in the document each time you make a change. A simple "save" leaves it place and you can undo right back through the last save to the last time the doucment was opened or a "save as" was performed. Save as removes this undo data, so it's gone when you save as a new filename. It would be the same if you overwrite the exisiting file.

Why are ACR PSD files 10-20 percent larger than the same file resaved in PSD?

Why are ACR > PSD files 10-20 percent larger than the same file resaved in PSD? I posted this many years ago and never found an answer. Now that my drives fill up quicker, I thought I might chase this question a little bit further.
Same .CR2 saved within ACR either with cmd-R or open ACR within PSD, the saved file is 34.5mb. Resave that same file (no edits) within PSD either with or without Max-compatible and the file is now 30.7mb. Another file that is 24.5 becomes 19.5MB.
Why the difference? Is ACR and PSD actually using different compression strategies?
thanks.
Mac 10.8.5 / CC / ACR 8.4.1 - but this has been a consistent behavior over many years and versions, CS6 / CC.

Hi Jeff
If it is RLE it's not as efficient as LZW:
Saved ACR>PSD = 40.1MB (sample image this AM)
opened in PS and resaved as PSD = 30.8MB
resaved as TIF without LZW = 40.1MB (this adds to your thought that the ACR>PSD doesn't us any compression)
resaved as TIF/LZW = 9.6MB

??? I hope that the Adobe engineers are fussing over 10-20% efficiencies.
I'm within arms reach to a rack of 40TB of drives (doesn't include off-site drives), and all 2TB drives are being recycled to 4TB drives, as a result the rack is always growing. Actually the ACR>PSD files don't really make a difference in our long term storage, only for the nightly backups. But anyway, how you save, what you save etc. should all be part of the discussion.
.... so in my case, throw in an excess MB here and there and all of a sudden you are talking TB's. Plus advantages in backup times, drive life, and energy use.
Somebody added compression into the PS>PSD format, but it wasn't included in the ACR>PSD format, was it a decision or an oversight? If it's just a matter of making ACR compatible with PS when saving the same PSD format..... then why not?

Why are my Illustrator images getting thicker strokes when I take the bounding box and make them smaller?

Why are my Illustrator images getting thicker strokes when I take the bounding box and make them smaller? This has never happened to me. I'm not an expert at Illustrator, but I do know some fundamentals.

Thank you for responding so quickly. No apologies necessary - I know this Forum isn't McDonalds - don't expect an answer to be served up right away. You helped me out with a big issue yesterday.
I am using a mac - OSX 10.7.5
I have Adobe Creative Suites - CS5 - Illustrator version is 15.0.2
The contents I am placing are all Vector - Illustrator files
But, I wonder about some of the vector files I work with. Could a "line weight/thickness" be 'assigned' to the drawing and screw things up? I used 'simple' linear (line) drawings from SolidWorks that have been converted to ai files. It's just weird because I checked the stroke of the drawing and it's not out of line.
I am attaching part of some box labels. You can see how the drawings, of the products, on the 'left side' are "thick" after embedding them. I think the "Global Logo" was pasted into a template not linked that's why it's okay. But look at the Quiet Thunder logo - it looks terrible. These labels are only 2.25" X 6.5", so its important I keep the images lightweight.
Your help is very much appreciated. Thank you!

Why are my exported files not going to me email? I have used 3 different ones.

Why are my exported files not going to my email (receipts & business card)? I have used 3 different ones...2 yahoo and 1 hotmail. I have checked spam box also.

For the Receipts app I chose to export the info as a PDF file..an email was requested..I entered info and clicked send. For the Business Card app I chose Send, not Print..an email was requested..I entered info and clicked send. I haven't received anything, not even in my spam folder.

Why Are My Cache Files & Other "Hidden" Files/Folders Visible? & How Do I Get Rid Of Them?

I hid mach_kernel and private, but the cache.db, cache.db-shm, cache.db-wal of both the system and user folder are, also, visible. Yesterday, I had to restore from a Time Machine backup because something had suddenly eaten all the space on my startup drive. However, these files were visible prior to the restore. So, why are they there and how do I safely dispose of them or hide them to prevent their return to visibility? Thanks.

Why are all jar files not compressed in the JRE installer?

I used 7zip to unpack jre-6u12-windows-i586-p.exe (Oracle JRE Installer). On unpacking, I got a core.zip, a zipper.exe and a few other files.
Again on exploding core.zip I found a few things. core.zip contains all the jar files just like it would be after installation except for 7 jar files.
charsets.jar
deploy.jar
javaws.jar
jsse.jar
localedata.jar
plugin.jar
rt.jar
Instead of these jar files there exists the corresponding packfiles
charsets.pack
deploy.pack
javaws.pack
jsse.pack
localedata.pack
plugin.pack
rt.pack
I think these are files created by pack200.exe & unpack200.exe is run on them after installation to create the corresponding jar files.
So now I have a few questions
Why are only these 7 files run through pack200.exe. I assume its because they are bigger than other files. But it wouldn't take that much effort to pack all jar files & unpack them after installation.
The .pack extension suggests that these are packed but not gzipped. Again why would Oracle not do a gzip also? for eg with rt.jar packing reduces size from 45 MB to 12 MB, while adding gzip also reduces it to 6 MB.

Whatever the truth of all this may be, you won't find it here. This is a user to user forum, not Oracle support or a channel to the developers. All you will get here at best is valid post hoc reasoning: at worst, guesswork. And if you're trying to bring this issue to Oracle's attention, again this isn't the place to do it. Locking the thread.

PDF Files Getting Bigger

I'm creating PDF files from Word and the PDF is larger than the Word file...then when I choose Compress or Reduce File Size it gets even bigger. For example: Word file = 300K, PDF from Print Dialog = 1.1MB, Compressed PDF from Preview = 6.3MB. Anyone have any ideas why this is happening?

It's perfectly normal for files to consume different amounts of space depending on the drive they're on.
Note that I said 'consume different amounts', not actually be different sizes.
Each file takes a finite number of bytes, however, all disks are logically divided into blocks, with each block being allocated to a single file (no two files can share the same block, but any file may span more than one block).
For example, a small, internal hard drive may use 4KB blocks.
Your XServe RAID may be using 32KB blocks
The block size is essentially the smallest amount of space any file can consume (even if the number of used bytes is smaller). In the above example, a plain text file consisting of 1,024 characters may be 1KB in actual file size, but it will consume 4KB on the internal disk, and 32KB on the RAID because that's the smallest allocation block each disk allows.
You can get the 'true' size of any file by using File -> Get Info in the Finder. It will tell you both the size on disk and the actual number of bytes used.
Depending in the RAID format, you may have even larger block sizes, and I concur that growing from 440KB to 2.2MB seems a little extreme, but in general the principle of allocation blocks doesn't indicate any kind of problem with the array.

Why are my .moxl files so large?

I am trying to slim down our team site collection--a never-ending struggle you're all famiiar with. :-)
So, I am in Storage Metrics looking for large files. Some of my forms library SharePoint Designer workflows are HUGE! in one, the .moxl file is 47 MB!
Why do these files get so large, and what can I do about it? I though all worlfow files were realtively small.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to know the reason of xoml file is large.
xoml file is a serialization of workflow object. When creating
the workflow in workflow designer, it builds object tree and serialized it into XOML format.I suggest you can check which workflow the xoml file belongs to.

Why are my ".pdf" files not opening in Creative Cloud? The tumbril shows up as a blank page!

I just switched over from Adobe Acrobat Cloud to Creative Cloud; a tedious task. Most of my files open up fine, but some of them show up as a blank page thumb nail. They do have ".pdf" extension. Any ideas as to why this is happening, and what I can do to correct the issue?
Ty

@masood131 - A few questions:
Are the pdf files without a thumbnail password protected? (Probably not but just checking since we will not be able to provide a preview for such a file).
If you click on the blank thumbnail to view the individual file page do you see a larger preview image, or is that blank too?
If you refresh the browser page does the thumbnail image show?
If you upload the file a second time do you see a thumbnail image?
If there is a problem with a specific file feel free to share a link with me via a private message and I can investigate further.

Why are my desktop files not showing on the desktop

Why are the files in my desktop folder not showing on my desktop?

An add-on can put its icon on the bar automatically if it likes, but some add-ons do one of the following:
* Add an item to the Tools menu
* Add an item to the right-click menu (depending on the context)
* Put a button in the button palette so you can add it to a toolbar if you like (''to call up the button palette, use'' View > Toolbars > Customize ''or right-click a blank area after the address box on the Navigation Toolbar and choose Customize from the pop-up menu'')
Also, you might want to double-check that the add-on is enabled.
Tools > Add-ons > Extensions
If you have the orange Firefox button, it's Firefox > Add-ons > Extensions
Does that help? (If you have problems with a particular extension, you could mention which one it is for more specific comments.)

Why do some downloaded files get "generic" file names?

Sometimes when I click on a link to download a file the file ends up on my computer with a name corresponding to part of the URL that I clicked on. It only happens when the link doesn't point to a file name but instead calls a serverside process and passes the name/ID of the file to be downloaded. For example, a URL that looked like this:
http://www.servernamegoeshere.com/digitalAsset/?id=123456 (example - not a working link)
results in a file named "digitalAsset" on my desktop. I'm sure the issue has something to do with how the file is being sent by the server (HTTP header or MIME info) but I'd like to figure out exactly why that happens so that I can point the server owner in the right direction so that it gets corrected (unless it's a Safari bug). The same ULR works as anticipated in FireFox 2.0.
Other similar links on the same site that point to PDF files get handled properly (displayed by Safari). The links that don't behave correctly point to Word files.
Any ideas why this happens?

Hey there,
Try this:
Highlight the tracks in iTunes (hold down the control button to highlight multiple tracks at once) and right-click on them and choose Get Info from the menu. From there, head over to the Options tab. Towards the middle of the window should be a drop down menu for Media type. Choose either audiobook or music, depending on which way you want to organize them. Then hit OK to apply the changes.
See if that helps.

Why are unwanted vi files produced when building executable?

I'm using LabVIEW 9, and when I build an executable, it creates 3 unwanted folders containing a number of .vi files that I don't want to have. The 3 unwanted folders that are automatically created are:
NI_HTML, NI_report, and NI_Standard Report
Why are these folders with numerous .vi files created automatically, and where is the option to exclude these when building the .exe? Ok thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I assume this is a executable build description is created in LabVIEW 8.6 (or earlier), look in your LabVIEW 2009 build settings, there should be an option 'Use LabVIEW 8.x build layout' (or something similar), this is probably checked, please uncheck.

Why are the PDF files in v27 bigger than in v25?

I have just created a v27 version of my single iOS app, which has been v25 before. Now the app has a size of about 550 MB instead of about 430 MB. I found out that the PDF files of the slideshows are bigger than before. What is the reason for this change and is there a way to get smaller file sizes again?
Kind regards
Michael
No idea? At least someone of the staff should know why the DPS creates larger files now.
There is another issue which indicates that Adobe doesn't care about file sizes. In slideshows the DPS always uses PNG files (if you don't choose PDF files, which are larger now, as I have told you). Of course it is because of transparency, but it would be easy to let the user choose between PNG and JPG like Twixl does.

You should report this via Gold Support who will investigate this. Minor file size changes will always occure on releases, however since you report the size change is significant, there may be some issue and needs further testing.

Why are my log files not getting backed up?

I just tried to get some files from ~/Library/Logs but found that the entire Logs directory was not on Time Machine - looks like every thing else in ~/Library was there. I checked the exclusion list and it was not on there.
I know that some ~/Library stuff gets backed up because I was recently able to find and restore some iCal events from about 4 months ago.
Anybody know what gives? Is there any way to change this?
Thx

I checked and both /Library/Logs and ~/Library/Logs are on the exclusion list - now why doesn't Apple's help file discuss that?
Now, that's funny! Apple's Help, while improved over the last few releases, is nowhere near complete. That's why some occasional tips turned into my 120+ page website, mostly about Time Machine, and several others have written entire books about OSX.
By all means, tell them about it at: http://www.apple.com/feedback/timemachine.html
Maybe if enough of us do that, they'll reconsider.
My problem - as a software tester, I occasionally would like to ensure that logs for a particular app stay around during my test period - in this case, the app under test did an archive, but kept only the previous 5 logs as backups (and without a setting I had access to) - and, of course, I was looking for an earlier log.
So, is there any way to tell Time Machine at the start of my testing period to save logs in specific ~/Librarary/Log subdirectory and then at the end of my testing period, tell TIme Machine to stop backing them up?
Not directly, other than periodically copying them somewhere else. But the schedule and handling of the "rotation" of some can be altered, if you're comfortable with UNIX and Terminal. See the MAN pages for newsyslog and newsyslog.conf.
