Huge catalog of 100 pages in size - using InDesign CC - files is 492 GB!

I have a catalog InDesign CC 100 pages, which is 492 GB! Each page has placed the Illustrator CADs in one. Format HAVE. Is there a way to prepare the CADs Illustrator before placing them in InDesign that will reduce the overall size of the InDesign file and finally the exported PDF file?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The InDesign file contains 647 files, a combination of Illustrator CADs (.) IA)

I guess I'm looking for a miracle, hoping that there is something I can do in InDesign or Illustrator to treat CAD several files at the same time?

What is the output destination? If treated right you could solve the problem of file size InDesign and PDF by pixelation CAD drawings to a high resolution. You would have to watch out for the black conversion lines in 4 colors and you may need more than 300 typical PPI, but you would probably get a lot of compression, export to PDF format to repeat the background pixels. The rasterization could easily be scripted or batch.

You can also try the export at .idml and reopening of idea. If everything is placed and connected, 492 mb still seems high.

  • .ipa file has 100 times the size of the original file

    For the last years of 1 1/2, I worked on a digital collection. Each article has audio files (2 mb), overlays, partitions pdf and html content.

    With DPS App Builder that I finally made the app (.zip) distribution and the developer of Soft (.ipa) I couldn't download, because the .ipa file was incredibly great and I still got the message that my macbook doesn't have enough memory.

    So I create a second folio with only 10 items and total about 20 MB size of the file (mp3, pdf, content html).

    Now I could download the DPS of app generator .ipa file, but the file size is 2.12 GB - more than 100 times greater than the size of the files used in this article 10.

    To be honest: I don't know what to do, because I wasn't expecting that. What mistake am I doing?

    The most likely problem is that at least one of your Web content overlays points to a .html file in a Documents folder or desktop. With some Web content overlays, DPS downloads completeness of the contents of the folder (and its subfolders) in which appears the .html file. To check to make sure that the HTML files that link you are correctly isolated.

  • Management performance issues and huge catalog

    I shoot architecture and real estate. I turn every day hundreds of frames and my current catalog becomes huge. I'm also starting to see a huge performance hit recently. Last night I just changed until 03:30 because LR would take some time as 20 seconds to perform a single task (like changing a slide or photo of the flag). A lot of time spinning beach ball. I have an external hard drive which I support to locally.

    What I was wondering is if I have everything except the most recent project files copy the disk external then keep it unplugged when I WIP edition if it would help performance issues?

    MacBook Pro (10.9.5) and LR CC running. I optimized my catalog and I also have a Cocktail for Mac running on my system to clean the memory, etc.

    Other ideas of huge catalogs management would be useful. I prefer not to make a new catalog for each customer that I shoot several each day and passing backward between catalog every day would be a pain in the thigh.

  • The reports are limited to 100 pages only in ACS worm 5.4

    I can't export more than 100 pages of report viewer. Is it possible to export a full report to CSV?

    SYED

    This is known to cisco. The GBA 5.2 guide speaks of the same.

    «The observer logs & reports ACS is limited to 100 pages.» ACS applies filters as last 30 days only on the pages of the top 100. In case of very strong load monitoring reports & ACS Viewer may not able to view complete information for the filters such as 30 days. During the critical period, it is recommended that you export the data to a CSV file after generating the report for every one or two hours. »

  • The difficulty in reducing the size of the eps file.  He is currently a huge 707MB!

    I can't reduce the size of an eps file.  He is currently a huge 707MB!  It is a fairly simple logo of the text (which were described) and a form, both filled with a pattern "leaf" gold. I guess this is the reason (from my color chart) which causes the problem.

    My client wants the eps file and I feel I have tried everything to reduce the size I could try to find out through various forums.
