Size of the PDF forms are higher than expected

Hi, I seem to have a problem with the file size of my PDF Forms.

I have created on Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2 9.0.0.2.20120627 xfa forms and they are all at least 1 big MB which is large enough for an xfa form.

When I initially create an xfa form, it is around 11-12 Kb, when I add a few items in the shape that it is not too large, 30-90 Kb around, but when I have almost completed my forms it always ends with 1 MB of data.

I thought that maybe it's because I'm pasting some already created objects from another on a new, but this is not the case.

Before that, I checked the XML source to see if there is anything suspicious about the forms and I created if I could find something the size of my PDF files.

I have seen my biggest form who have 15 k lines of XML coding and 1,386 Mb and another with only 5 k lines of XML coding and 1,303 Mb.

So here, the ratio is 10 k XML encoding is equal to 83 KB. A blank form is about 136 coding XML and is equal to 10 KB.

When I see other forms that I didn't create, other sources, they are around 300-600 Kb...

Now I wonder what could be the reason why my forms are so much bigger.

Would it because I'm not on the side Server encoding?

Is it because of my Script objects?

Or because I'm missing something on xfa forms?

Or, maybe because I don't use Action Builder?

Or that's what I think, I use different functions, more it grows, perhaps as a result of using these functions, objects of reference?

If anyone knows what is the main reason for a PDF size XFA form, I would like to know.

Thank you

Hello

the reasons for the large files are generally images and embedded fonts.

In forms with the default fonts like Arial or Myriad Pro, it is unwise to incorporate fonts in Reader/Acrobat already has the fonts and do not need to be incorporated.

Only Arial needs about 450 KB in a form.

If you use images don't embed them, because it means that they get stored as a string encoded in base64 in the XML source instead of a stream encoded flate in the PDF.

Base64 is very clumsy and needs more space.

  • Dynamic PDF up to 200 images, the size of the pdf is greater, cannot save the data and images to the form

    Hi all

    My client would like to dynamic images up to 200 photos to my forms. It works very well. However, when I add images up to 35 images. I could not add images to shape more. Then I save data on the form. All the images and the data entered on the form are missing. I don't know why.

    If I add only 10 images - I can record data and images on the form. 15456 KB is the size of the pdf.  I was unable to add more photos or data on the form.

    There may be a problem the size of the pdf? How big can make a limited dynamic pdf?

    Can save us the information and images as much as we want?

    I spent two weeks to work and trying to figure out this problem. However, it is not successful.

    Help, please

    Cindy

    You must ensure that your users do not import large images.

    Therefore, you can use a script on the change event of an image field that checks the size of the data and warns the user if the file is too large.

    function formatNumber(number) {
        var num = number + '',
        x = num.split('.'),
        x1 = x[0],
        x2 = x.length > 1 ? '.' + x[1] : '',
        rgx = /(\d+)(\d{3})/;
        while (rgx.test(x1)) {
            x1 = x1.replace(rgx, '$1' + ',' + '$2');
        }
        return x1 + x2 + "KB";
    }
    
    var sizeLimit = 200, //allow upto 200KB images
      thisSize = Math.round((this.value.oneOfChild.value.length * 3 / 4) / 1024);
    
    if (sizeLimit > 0) {
      if (thisSize > sizeLimit) {
      xfa.host.messageBox("Note: With " + formatNumber(thisSize) + " the size of the imported image is greater that the recommended maximum of " + formatNumber(sizeLimit) + ".\nLarge images can cause a insufficent performance.\n\nIf possible, use images with the following recommended specs:\nFormat:\t\tPNG or JPG\nColor depth:\t8 Bit (higher is not supported)\nColor space:\tRGB (CMYK is not supported)\nFile Size:\t\t" + formatNumber(sizeLimit), "Recommended image size exceeded", 3, 0);

    I created a pdf form to a Word doc with the air police 9 pt formatted; the text on the pdf form is air 9 pt, but the fields are formatted in courier 12 pt - how can I reformat the police in the fields?

    Edit the form fields so that they use Helvetica by 9 points. Do not set the Arial font. Acrobat/Reader will use a private version of Arial as a substitute for Helvetica. If you specify Arial, it will integrate the entire police (sometimes several times), makes that increase the file size unnecessarily.

  • How to reduce the size of the PDF file on scanned on my PMX922 docs

    I deal with a lot of documents, and I find that when I scan the docs on my MX922 the size of the PDF file is MUCH larger that the size of the original PDF file. That's what I see (on a document page 2):

    (Received) original size: 11 k

    Default scan (Quick Menu): 1061 k

    With compression high (Quick Menu): 116 k

    The Panel of the printer (res 150): 209 k

    Windows scanning app (150 res): 1495 k

    Scanning from the Quick Menu with high Compression seems to be the best, but it still somewhat adds to the file size. It's a big problem so I dal with many GREAT docs. Several times the size of the file increase prevents me from being able to send files. Is there anything else I can do? Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi 1wwjdbro,

    We can set the PDF to HIGH compression option in the utility of digitization of IJ and also select the image digitized transfer compression to reduce the file size of the PDF file. To do this, please follow these steps:

    1. open the utility of scanning IJ.

    2. in the Scan from Canon IJ utility window that opens, click SETTINGS... at the bottom right of the window. The settings dialog box is displayed.

    3. click on the SCAN of DOCUMENT option in the left pane of the window.

    4 in the right pane window, look for the box to COMPRESS SCANNED IMAGES to be TRANSFERRED in the Scan Options section and check it.

    5. then, in the SAVE the SETTINGS section, find the FORMAT of DATA field and ensure that PDF or PDF (multi-page) is selected, and then click the SETTINGS button to the right of the field.

    6. in the window that opens, find the COMPRESSION PDF section, then select TOP from the drop-down list. Click OK to close the window. You will be taken back to the SETTINGS window.

    7. once all settings have been selected in the SETUP window, click the OK button at the bottom of the window to save the changes. The IJ Scan Utility main screen is displayed.

    8. click the DOCUMENT button. Housing starts scanning. Click CANCEL to cancel the scan if necessary. The scanned images are saved to the location of the selected folder previously specified in the SETTINGS... window.

    I hope this helps!

  • How to decrease the size of the PDF file without reducing the quality and links?

    How to decrease the size of the PDF file without reducing the quality and links?

    Michael and Phil,

    Your ability to reduce the file without diminishing its quality depends on the quality required for their intended use. If these are intended for viewing on screen, then high resolution pictures can be re sampled or changing the resolution without real change is the quality, as long as the user can say. Number of files use subsets of fonts or the incorporations of fonts. Sometimes you can remove subsets of fonts or embedding the fonts if the font will be on the user's system. Subsets of fonts can save space, but if the pdf is a result of several different sources, desincorporation policies and incorporating a copy of the policy can save space.

    Honestly, the size of 2 MB file is not the problem it once was. However, maybe the pdf not by e-mail at all. There are players on a server as well as a link sent to each user.

    Hi homebusinesswebsites,

    It is not possible to reduce the size of the PDF with Adobe Reader.

    If you have Adobe Acrobat then you can reduce the file size by choosing "file > save as other > reduced size Pdf/optimisee PDF.

  • Try to reduce the size of the PDF, but it has instead increased

    Hello, I am currently working with bank statements a lot and there are a lot of page control that contains images that increases the size of the pdf file. I deleted these pages and it indeed to reduce the size of the file by a drawing of lots. But now, I do a test and just take each individual control images (31 of them altogether for the sample file I use), and it has not to reduce the size, but instead it has increased a lot. Anyone know why this is happening?

    Okay, that's as expected. SAVE is designed to be very fast. To be quick, he writes just a note of the changes at the end of the file, without removing anything. If you have (diagram) the original file, more a note saying remove the following images... It is therefore greater.

    SAVE AS is slower, he mixes around so things that you deleted are really missing. There is a reasonable chance (but not a certainty) that it goes smaller.

    For the third part of the applications that perform many tasks, I usually discover www.tucows.com and www.download.com.  They have a wide variety of programs, and the trick is to put in the correct search terms to find what you are looking for.  Make sure you that your selection is compatible with Windows Vista and at tucows, try to pick one with 4 or 5 cows because they are the highest rated.
