Why does Pages file explodes in size?

When I attach a 1.1 MB Pages file to a mail: why does the file grows to 14,3 MB??? Even a normal blank pages document of 63 KB becomes 9,5 MB when attaching it to an email?!!!
What am I missing?

There has to be graphics in there somewhere to make it that big.
Do you have Captured pages (the master sections) with graphics in them, possibly repeating, in the document?
If you like click on my blue name and email me the document and I'll look at it.

  • Why does PDF file size increase each time I "save" tagging tasks?

    Why does PDF file size increase each time I "save" tagging tasks?
    Given:
    1) I'm running Acrobat Pro 11.0.07 (this is most current version)
    2) My file size starts at 750mb and ends up 15mb when finished tagging.
    3) Only certain documents experience this increase, i.e., no visible pattern of document characteristics
    4) PDF's are not full of images...in fact, mostly <H1> <H2> <H3> <P> <Figure> alt text, ect.
    5) Occurs with text PDF's and/or fillable forms (again, does not happen to all documents...only some)
    6) File increase occurs incrementally as tagging tasks are performed; i.e., each new save increases file size a few megabytes.
    7) Occurs whether I "save" or "save as"
    8) Difficult to optimize these files without corruption
    9) I'm running Mac OS 10.9.4 (this is most current version)

    Thank you so much for responding! I've been experimenting with the SAVE AS vs. SAVE for the past few days...and you are correct. It's funny because I've been tagging files for 2 years and never noticed this. Probably b/c I use both methods depending on the tagging tasks...some are more complicated than others and should not be overwritten. In those cases I SAVE AS new file.
    I love this forum...thank you again!

  • Why does the file Name for file attached with Annotations "Attach File" (paperclip) become Unknown when Comments are Published?

    Our company recently purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI for the purpose of using it for shared electronic reviews.  We are using Send for Shared Review created in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI, and all the Comment tools work as expectedexcept the paperclip in Annotations.
    When a Word or Excel or Image(png,jpeg) file is attached using the Annotations paperclip, the initiator can initially see and open it. But after Publish Comments is selected and the review file is closed, the file "Name" changes to "Unknown" (although the Description has the correct file name and extension).  The Modified information is Unknown, as is the Size and Compressed Size.
    When the review file is then re-opened, even the initiator cannot open the file, although:
    The file location is marked with the paperclip within the document.
    The file name is shown in the Comments List with the initiator's name.
    In the Attachments list (the paperclip beneath the Thumbnails and Bookmarks) the Name appears as Unknown, Description shows the file name, Modified is Unknown, Size is Unknown, and Compressed Size is Unknown.
    The file Name cannot be edited, although the file Description can be.
    We have followed the procedure described in the tutorials but cannot figure out how to troubleshoot this situation.  Since this feature was the reason for the purchase of Adobe Acrobat Pro IX, we would any help. Please don't leave out any basics since we are all new users.
    We have several people with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and the rest have Adobe Reader XI and it is a Windows platform.  Can someone please give us some advice how to get this feature to work as described?

    FYI Rave,
    There are some other forum entries with this exact same issue...:

  • Why does pages prompt the save dialogue every time i save?

    Just like every other word editing program, I should be able to just click save or push COMMAND S to save easily without getting the Save dialogue, once I saved for the first time.
    Why does Pages insist on bringing up the Save or Save As dialogue box every time I want to save a version of the document?  Once I saved for the first time, name the file, and save it to my hard drive, I should not have to deal with this anymore, unless I specifically click Save As....  I should be able to click Save or push COMMAND S and have it save in the background as with every document editing program.
    Is there a way to change this?

    You are obviously confused in thinking that Pages is a MsWord substitute which it is not, it is its own program.
    When you export to .doc you are doing exactly that, making a copy in a different format to the one you are working in.
    TextEdit can save to .doc and Save to it as can several other applications, but none of those are MsWord either.
    If you want to work in MsWord, why not use MsWord itself?

  • Why does pages suddenly refuse to save a document back to our server after editing?

    why does pages suddenly refuse to save a document back to our server after editing?
    and can i specify a default save-as location?

    The default save location is the one used to open the document.
    The default save_to location is the last used one.
    Both are stored in memory and written in the application's preferences file when we close it.
    It's quite easy to change the defaults in the preferences file but we must do that before opening the app and if we use an other location once the app is open, we will lost the defined default location.
    From my point of view, the best scheme is to use an Applescript to save.

  • Why does Pages app have no 'labels' template?

    Why does "Pages" have no 'labels' template?

    That bug was introduced in Pages 5.1. This workaround:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24857600#24857600
    ... gets rid of the com.apple.MediaLibraryService process and also brings memory usage by Pages itself back in line. Involves removing (should archive them and restore prior to applying a software update) a number of plug-ins, may or may not affect functionality (I have not noticed anything, apart from making the computer usable again).
    Current version of Numbers is also affected; without this "fix," a second com.apple.MediaLibraryServicelaunches, also consuming more than 1 GB of real memory, and Numbers itself uses multiples of the memory it should. Removing the files described also restores Numbers to normal functionality.

  • Why does my file requiring ActiveX cant run in my Apple computer?

    Why does my file requiring an ActiveX cannot run in my Apple computer?

    Active X is chiefly a Windows > Internet Explorer browser based function and there is no Internet Explorer for OS X.
    The only way you can run this Active X script is install Windows into Apple's BootCamp dual boot partition solution or by running Windows in a virtual machine program in OS X itself.
    Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?

    Why does Pages change tab settings randomly in a document?

  • KeyNote files explode in size. How do you stop it from embeddig all theme images (7 MB per theme)?

    I think I just found out what is wrong with the file sizes of KeyNote for iOS.
    In the Mac version of this app, there is a preference setting called "Copy theme images into document" which if checked includes about 7 MB of images for every theme used in the presentation(!). Normally this setting is kept off (thank god).
    However, in the iOS version of KeyNote, there is no such setting. Instead, that function is always ON(!!!). This means that every time you create a presentation in there, or edit one from the Mac version, it will grow by approx. N times 7 MB; where N is the number of themes used in your presentation.
    Now, if you use KeyNote for iOS and store your presentations on iCloud — like a good user should — then every single file will be sure to explode in size. And consequently take forever to upload and download from the cloud  :-(
    Any solution, anybody?

    I don't know,  Maybe Office 2008 doesn't play nice with Lion.  Was 2008 working previously with Lion?  Did you have these problems with Snow Leopard?
    Here's MS's instructions for uninstalling Office 2008.
    How to completely remove Office 2008 for Mac
    All I can suggest is uninstalling and starting over with a fresh installation.
    Alternatively don't use Office at all.  Instead use one of the Office substitues that supports Word documents (OpenOffice, LibreOffice, NeoOffice).  Also there's Apple's Pages and MS Office 2011.

  • Why does page-break-before get replaced with br class hcp10?

    why does <br style="page-break-before: always;"> get replaced with <br class="hcp10">
    This issue only occurs when generating an HTML Help CHM file.

    An alternative method can be found in Item 23 at http://www.grainge.org/pages/snippets/snippets.htm#content.
    Are you saying the code in the source file gets changed? I suspect you mean target files but how are you identifying the change in a CHM? Is the change causing a problem?

  • Why does Pages 09 hang for 1min30sec? The spinning ball, etc...

    I am using Pages 09 version 4.3 (not the iWork package, just Pages 09)
    Operating system 10.8.3 with 4 Gb memory on an iMac from around 2009 (Intel core 2 duo)
    I had been using Quark Xpress for a couple decades and wanted to save a book I did in Pages so I can sell it in the Apple bookstore.
    So I saved a Quark document as a pdf.
    Then I used an on-line service to convert the pdf to a word document.
    Then I opened the word doc in Pages and saved it as a Pages file.
    I am in the process of doing a lot of reformatting, but I'm not surprised all the formatting didn't carry over, considering all the flie formats I went through.
    The document is about 40 pages and has perhaps 40 pictures, but I do resize them in Photoshop so the Pages document file is only 4.9 Mb.
    Pages isn't all that different from Quark, it just seems to hide things in different places.
    The problem is that every so often when I click in the document, I get the spinning ball and Pages hangs for 1 minute and 30 seconds (doesn't it seem odd that it is always for the same length of time?). Then it comes out of its coma and I carry on.
    Using the Activity Monitor I see Pages using 99.8% or 100% or even 100.5% of CPU. And The Pages line is in red type that reads "Pages (Not Responding).
    While I wait for Pages to come to its senses, I can surf the Web, or use other programs, which seems peculiar because if the CPU is 100% occupied, I would think it could.
    When I go to the dock and click on the Pages icon, it doesn't come to the front. I have to move any other windows so I can see my Pages document and click on it to bring it to the front.
    I went into FontBook and checked all my fonts and deleted a bunch. When I reopened the document, it said it was missing a font, so I selected a substitute, the document opened and I re-saved it with a new name.
    Sometimes it hangs when I click in text, but just now it was hanging every time I tried to click on a line behind the main text box.
    Just now it hung when I started to go to the Edit menu. I waited and now it's back, as if nothing happened.
    Any ideas?

    After a very long night it seems my problems were solved by
    1. making sure all the in-line pictures had the correct wrap around settings and
    2. deleting some lines that had originally been underscores, but wound up being independent lines behind the main text box and
    3. checking my fonts in FontBook and deleting the iffy ones (I dunno if this made any real difference, but I mention it anyway).
    Every time I would select a line there would be a long pause. Initially 1 1/2 minutes, but shorter as I deleted the lines one by one.
    There were also pauses when trying to select in-line pictures, and sometimes for no good reason that i could discern.
    Anyway, now that the pictures' wrap around is re-set, and the lines are delected, there are bo more pauses!
    Whew. I spent hours watching that ball spin. Still, it was better than re-creating the whole book.
