Why do my vector files rasterize when I make a contact sheet in Bridge? How can I change quality?

I am trying to make multiple vector files (Adobe Illustrator) into a PDF contact sheet. In doing this through the Output function of Bridge, the vector files are rasterized into a fuzzy, low resolution versions. I'm able to change the quality of the PDF itself; however, that does not affect how the vector files are rasterized. I can't seem to find any way to change this. I can make a contact sheet in InDesign or rasterize these things myself in Photoshop, but I thought Bridge was suppose to help "bridge" some of these functions and save some time. Has anyone found a workaround or some hidden quality box that I'm missing?

Why is the illustrator file size this big?

I create a new illustrator document (Illustrator CS5 - v15.1.0), in that document I create a rectangle with the rectangle tool (fill: white; stroke: black); I save the document (.ai-format; create pdf compatible file active). The file size messures 3.2 Mb.
Why is that? It's just a simple rectangle with 4 points…

an empty illustrator document, with PDF compatibility: 1.7Mb;
an empty illustrator document, without PDF compatibility: 3.2Mb;
an empty illustrator document, without PDF compatibility; embed ICC profiles not activated: 207Kb.
So I think it might be the ICC profiles that cause these extended File sizes. However… strange that the second test is larger than the first…
nevertheless thanks!

Why the db file is so big?

hello,now i use BDB as my database;
pdb->open(NULL, m_dbName, NULL, DB_QUEUE, DB_CREATE, 0);
now, there have two processes , one is FEP, the other is DP
FEP write 10000 datas to DB_QUEUE one second;
DP read 10000 datas from DB_QUEUE one second;
after the two processes run one hour, the db file become so big,
the size of db file is 1,425,796KB ,but there is no record in db file;
why the db file is so big?
the db file will become little automatic?
do you have some APIs to make the db file little?
thank you!

Hello,
Based on your description, it sounds like you didn't assign a queue extent size when you created the database.
From the BDB Reference Guide, see the section on [Selecting a Queue Extent Size|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17076_02/html/programmer_reference/rq_conf.html#am_conf_extentsize]. It sounds like the behavior that you are looking for is the ability to automatically delete queue extents once they become empty. This feature should do what you're looking for. Refer to the C API Guide ( here ) on how to define a queue extent.
If you do not want to use Queue extents for some reason, another option would be to call truncate() on the database. However, that will result in deleting any records that might be in the database as well as truncating it.
Regards,
Dave

Why the output file is so big?

It is NOT the same vi!!! You need to familiarize yourself with dataflow, LabVIEW does NOT execute left to right, any part can execute if all inputs have data.
In your particular case, the "file info" will execute at the same time you are building the file path. In addition, you are measuring the size of the stripped path and not of the new file. Try execution highlighting!
To fix your code:
You need to get the "file info" from the path AFTER you add the new filename.
Use the error cluster to enforce proper execution order as in my example. WIre the error out of "close" to the error in of "File info". Now the "File info" must wait until all inputs have data, which can only happen after "close" has completed.
All clear?

Why does my mac say the file is too big to burn on DVD when it isn't?

I'm trying to burn a file on DVD. The file is 2.1 gigs, the DVD is supposed to be able to hold 4.7 gigs, but it keeps telling me the file is too big!
Anticipating a question: 2.1 gigs is the actual size according to "get info", not the size of the alias on my burn disk.
And, if this matters, I'm backing up a folder with four items inside. My Entourage "identity" folder.
Thanks in advance!

Repair permissions and restart your computer. Try burning the dvd again. If the issue still occurs use VisualHub (direct download). VisualHub will turn the video file into a dmg that you should be able to burn. Other resources - Video Monkey and Toast.

Using vector files in AEFX

I need to brief a graphic artist on a project that will be composited in AEFX.
Camera tracks thru a barcode to reveal a scene. Simple. Basically track in then thru a white bar and dissolve thru to scene
Wondering if the barcode was created as layers in a vector format.... if that would be better than a massive psd file.
Does AEFX even work with vector files?
Assumeably this needs rasterising at some point.
Grateful for any thoughts and ideas regarding this.

Thank you Rick.
That sounds perfect,
I will run a test now...before briefing the artist.
EDIT:
Tested - I had no luck with .ai files but .eps worked perfectly.... as per Ricks tip regarding continuous rasterisation.

Small file get extremely big after saving with Excel 2013

A file who is only 666Kb big with Excel 2007 is opened with Excel 2013. When I direct safe that file, the size increases to more than 6GB. Opening that file takes more than one minute. And Excel seems to crasch.(Not responding) The problem seems to be one
(1) sheet. when I delete rows the size of that file is increasing up to 16 GB. This means a less filed excel sheet, makes a bigger file.

Hi,
The issue seems happened in the special file and it may be caused by the conditional formatting, cell format, formula calculation automatic or macros,ect. Please see the thread which some communicators discussed:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2007-excel/why-do-my-excel-files-become-huge/8235dc08-aa70-4a65-9892-b776790d79c5?page=1
Then, we may try the Mr. Ashish's suggestion:
=====
1. Identify the last filled up row of data and click on any cell in one row below that
2. Select from that row till the end and delete all rows
3. Do the same for columns
4. Save and close the file
5. Shut down MS Excel
6. Reopen the file
=====
If the issue still exists, please copy all the content to new/blank Excel 2013 file to test.

How can I reduce a vector file's weight?

Hi!!!!
I love illustrator in all it ways, but sometimes it's so difficult to work with it because it just get slow, and it happens when you work with simple vectors too.
Even happens when I open a brand new file and i paste a shape from a "contaminated file"... the new file gets slow and heavy too...
Do you know how I fix this?

here is and image of the "contaminated file"

Why would an alias file be larger than the original file?

I have a simple document that is 106kb. When I create an alias to the file, the alias is 133kb. Why would the alias file be larger than the orginal file when the alias file is simply a redirect to the original file?

Francine has a good explanation here:

I have a few wedding projects(1-2 hours)I am trying to export at full hd quality,than burn in idvd. After rendering for 8hrs I receive error code that states "file is too big". Please help? compressing tips without losing quality? or any other exporting alternatives?

Hey Z,
Thank you for the tip on exporting by media browser (large) from imovie. But of course, if it's not one thing it's another. Now that I figured how to export a large file from imovie, I have an idvd issue. I followed the instructions for burning from idvd and changing the encoding to professional quality and the burn speed to x4, but I am receiving an error that states the following,
Your project exceeds the maximum content duration. To burn your DVD, change the encoder setting in the Project Info window.
Project:
- total project duration: 79:04 minutes
- total project capacity: 4.327 GB (max. available: 4.172 GB)
Menus:
- number of menus in project: 1 menus
- total menu duration: 0:39 minutes
- total menu capacity: 37.370 MB
Movies:
- total movies duration: 78:25 minutes
- total movies capacity: 4.291 GB
I have searched in the idvd forum for similar issues and I am stumped at this point. I have tried deleting the encoding assets and re launching idvd with the changed preferences, and still the same error. I know you mentioned something about free hard drive space available, and I have very little left. 4GB to be exact due to massive hours of non-edited footage. I am not sure if this is why, but I do not recall ever needing free space to burn memory onto a separate dvd. I would be more than happy if I am wrong, and it would be a quick fix. Otherwise, the technical nightmare continues. It's all a learning process and your expertise is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Strange shape outlines in some vector files

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out why in CS6 some vector files have this odd outline around shapes. It's visible when editing the file, exporting the file & placing it within Photoshop as a smart object. Please view the image below to see what I mean...

Here I've pasted the image from Illustrator into Photoshop Cs6 & Photoshop Cs5 for comparison.

I have spent hours scratching my head but don?t have a clue. I was wondering if you have any idea as why I might be getting these errors.
Thank you for your time.

Hello, did you read the answers?
You have to put j2ee.jar or servlet-api.jar in your classpath. Those JAR files are included in the Java EE package somewhere. Remove the QTJava.zip junk from the classpath.
If you don't know what the classpath is and how to set it, read this:
Setting the class path
How Classes are Found
And I'll repeat what the others say: if you are very new to Java, then Java EE will probably be way over your head. First learn the language and the standard API. If you understand that well, start with Java EE. Or do you already know what servlets are, and that you need a servlet container to run them, and how to deploy them etc.?

Vector file makes Motion crash

Hi there everyone. I have a question regarding vector files in motion. I have very small pdf file that I saved in Illustrator. I import it in to Motion 3 and turn off fixed resolution so I can see the sharp vector as it should be. Everything is fine until I go in to 3d mode and start to move the camera around. That's when I get the message "This media is too large to render at full resolution, and will be shown at a lower quality.The maximum size is 4096x4096". After that motion either crashes or everything slows down. Anybody know what is going on? If the pdf file is only 500k why should this cause any problems?

lol...alot of people had this problem before,

or use the path to shape script found here. BTY, thats quiet large for your vector file.

CS2 vector files v CS5 vector files.

My plotter accepts CS2 vector files but not CS5 vector files. Can anybody explain why and is there a solution?

desertdriver,
My plotter accepts CS2 vector files but not CS5 vector files. Can anybody explain why and is there a solution?
Unless they can be updated, often applications can only work with files from certain versions of other applications, chiefly versions of the latter that were available when the former was created.
Have you tried to see whether the plotter driver/software can be updated to work with CS5 files?
Is it an option to save as CS2 files and take it from there?
