Why some files HAVE with linked images are so great?

I have several files .ai (not .eps) that all link to the same larger bitmap images. Most of these are 3 - 4 times .ai files (~ 220 MB) the sum of the size of the bitmaps (~ 60 MB) and none of the bitmap images embedded! Whence the huge size file?

Secondly, while most of the .ai file is huge, a couple does not exist. There are approximately 320 KB. I compared the document between a large and a small file info, and there is no significant differences. What is going on? I use CS4.

If you register with the option 'create a compatible PDF file', your images will be incorporated in any case (in part the .ai file PDF). If what you call "bitmap" is highly compressed JPEG images, data incorporated (in the PDF part) can swell to several times the size of the original files.

You will find that embed the color profile (ICC) also adds to the file size.

  • Some files have been moved and are inaccessible after installation of Vista Service Pack 2

    For several months, I had been unable to install the latest updates of iTunes, always get the message "Could not access network location %AppData%". Recently, I realized that I had apparently never installed Windows Vista Service Pack 1 or 2 and the practice which finally allowed me to install iTunes 9.2.

    The problem I have now is that one (or two) of these Service Packs created a new profile user labelled 'TEMP' folder and that's where all my iPod apps seem to have "evaporated" to. I say evaporated because iTunes cannot locate, and when I access the folder of the user 'TEMP' (even using my administrator account), I found only a few subfolders (AppData (, LocalLow, Microsoft, CryptnetUrlCache), and those are all empty.  Either way, my administrator user account no longer shows upward at all when I use my 'normal' user code

    Making windows for .ipa files search is the only way I can see same registrants, but then when I try to open the location of file (Mobile Applications C:Users\TEMP\Music\iTunes) I get an error "the location is not available", which suggests that the information may have been moved to another location.

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit, Service Pack 2.

  • Why some files are locked when scanning

    Why some files are locked during scanning. I use avg and scan of the entire computer. can anyone help?
    p.s., no other suggestions posted already worked.

    Ref: http://forums.avg.com/au-en/avg-forums?sec=thread&act=show&id=212602

    Please be informed that the locked files (files) also have access rights. If you run the command line scanning (or manual scanning of the AVG User Interface), it runs with the rights of the logged-on user. But to access some files (e.g. System Volume Information) you must have the rights SYSTEM (and similar).
    AVG scan on demand is executed with SYSTEM rights (under the SYSTEM account).

    • Locked file
      The reported file is locked, so cannot be scanned by me. Usually, this means that some files are constantly used by the system (e.g. swap file).

  • Some files have transformed a 'green' color, others are the normal 'black' - access denied to 'green' files

    Some files on my external hard drive (MS office files) are suddenly inaccessible - I get an 'access denied' and the files are "green." Not all the files have changed. I have not changed all permissions. I have home access to the full administrator on this laptop.

    I use Windows Vista Home premium.

    Can someone help me with this please.

    I've never heard of a file becoming green before - it may be a security program or another program third-party (I don't think it's Vista).  The best thing to do is to check and change the permissions and if necessary take possession of the files/folders.  Do you have a third-party suite (or anti-virus program) security or firewall program (if so, what name and which version)?  Here is an example of a program that causes the problem to deny access AND lights up green files: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/how-to-encrypt-your-computers-hard-disk-data-and-files-for-free/.

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.
     
    To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.

  • Why some files are missing from the import screen?

    I'm trying to import some files in LR, but the import screen appears not all files that are in the folder I chose.

    I noticed that only when there are multiple files with the same base file name.  For example, when the file contains the following files, LR will display all of them in the form of import:

    • file. MP4
    • File1.jpg
    • File2.jpg
    • ...

    However, "file1.jpg" will not be shown in the import screen when the file contains the following files:

    • File1. MP4
    • File1.jpg
    • File2.jpg

    I was unable to find a LR preference that covers it.  Have I forgotten?

    Thank you!

    Here is a proposal... the emphasis on the word "guess"... When you have file1.mp4 and file1.jpg, .jpg is considered to be a "sidecar" and will not be imported... unless... you select the option in the preferences (general tab) that says: "Treat JPG files files next to raw as separate photos..." Yes, I know says "raw" option and your file is a 'mp4', but need you less than a minute to try ita

  • Question about PDF files with linked images (not embedded) between the player and Illustrator

    What I will meet situations when I get a PDF file to client that must be changed. When they load in Acrobat Reader, it works fine. However if I load in Illustrator it asks me to point to the linked file. The question is how Acrobat Reader to open a PDF file and display a linked file when it is not incorporated? Why Illustrator cannot do the same?

    It is more of a technical issue, but any information would be helpful.  Thank you.

    For the associated images, your PDF file contains a thumbnail image as well as the reference or the address of the actual image. Player will show this vignette. Now, you want to change the PDF in Illustrator, he wants to allow you to work on the actual image. That's why it asks you to point to the linked file.

  • Why my clips/exit points have moved / "slips" in my calendar. Why some people have a zebra pattern?

    I try to open an existing in Prime CC 2015 project file that contains a final assembly locked for a video clip. When I open the project, it displays the correct cuts that were made, but all the clips seem to have substantially been moved as if someone used the tool to slide on videos. Each clip is cut to the song specifically and I'm sure it's the same source/clip file that is displayed, but they are simply passed and I noticed when I tried to export a XML to open to davinci Resolve for color, but then when I've seen this I came first and they were already screwed up. Now, I noticed that it didn't happen at the opening of the source of the original project folder car that I copied the above project file of. It opens up very well with the right of entrance/exit points on the original drive but not the folder copied on my personal drive (do not know if it matters or not). Clips have also this Zebra looking pattern on the bottom half of the clip on the timeline. The portions clips that are now "Zebra would be" do not appear on the video preview. (Essentially the sequence opens well, clips were not moved in time [time code is the same thing], but simply clips to the point now is earlier or later in the clip from the source which is basically as the tool to slide in first) Im not sure what is happening but lately first has also been crashing a lot on me today. He did not cooperate with regard to the loading of the images (kept showing yellow sign "Waiting Images" on the Preview Panel) I have not updated my OS recently but it seems that 2015 is not a reliable updated. But if someone could help me please correct the staggered/sliding clips in my calendar, perhaps more explain what means "part Zebra" on some clips? I am on a period in which this project is due to a contest in 2 days so any quick response would be much appreciated!

    I fixed it all! So, something I did not mention was that I'm working on a sequence of 24 p with several sequences of frame rate. The problem here is that footage has been interpreted to conform to the 24 frames per second. Now, when I copied the project file and sequences of original on my personal, normally first disk drive will wonder where the source files are gone. So you need to find the images in the new folder/location. This entire problem could have been avoided if I had ticked the ' preserve interpreted Footage ' box right next to "locate images. That ends up being the reason why the clips have been moved, simply because they were cut for idling and when read at full speed, the clip is seemed to have "evolved" or display a zebra striped pattern which means there was no more video to be displayed in the source file. Once footage has been interpreted to 24 fps, each matching item back to our final Assembly, we worked so hard! Sick leave this post here in case where someone else is not catch their error does not preserve that interpreted data images.

  • The files HAVE as links within a file, indesign to then be a pdf file, problematic?

    I want to know if the files have linked to an indesign file, which must then be PDFed for the printer, problem somehow. I was always asked by my printer to have all my images within a PDF, CMYK value and saved in tiff format.

    It seems that they should not be a problem, and that by converting the format tiff s i just lose in detail and it being a chore, as I have over 150 images.

    Am I wrong?

    art of John Johnson says:

    What is a manual operation? where in illustrator I convert individually these or make me an option within indesign to do this to all the links of the eps?

    You can record an action to save as .ai and close the file, then run that in the form of lots on a folder of files. But I do not convert batch if I am preflighting. When I control upstream I open all the files, look for problems and potential problems, sync (if any) color, perform the action to remove unused items from the Panel, then save as a new file. I have always save as .ai with PDF compatibility and, if possible, check that all images are linked not shipped.

    Read my file for a file sizes have 370 Ko or there abouts, looks small (although we're talking here of line, maps, etc).

    But I can read is inside my document setup, under 'Transparency' my balance pixelation/vectorization is 75 (in the direction of vector), my resolution for line art & text is 300ppi, gradient and mesh is 150ppi. don't know if I'm just throwing numbers at you, but that's what I got.

    Those are the values by default of the effects of rasterization resolution (for example effect > esthetics > Drop Shadow) and gradient meshes are pixelated when you print or save a PDF file. I usually set up a predefined custom flatterer who goes completely to 100% and does not plan type or convert lines to fills. These are used for priting and record in PDF format only. Your .ai file contains a PDF high resolution whose Illustrator unknown when editing but that InDesign and Photoshop use to import.

    The size of the file is irrelevant to the resolution of the built-in images. 370 KB is quite small, however, and when combined with your description of the content gives heavily to think there is no raster elements, so nothing to sweat. You can open the links Panel to see if there are images embedded or linked. I expect none.

  • Place. File HAVE with text becomes pixelated + unnecessary layers

    Hey all,.

    I place often. Files HAVE in others. Files HAVE. I recently noticed that the text in placed files will sometimes become pixelated (become a form instead of text). Sometimes it's just one of the letters which becomes pixelated and the rest remains editable.

    In addition, there often a lot of unnecessary layers that come with the file then. The original file has a layer that contains a few groups, but after I place it will have 3 or 4 layers before you get to any of the groups. Any help?

    (With the help of Adobe Illustrator CC) (Place the.) HAVE as not linked or embedded)

    When you place a file HAVE you do not place the part of the file, but the PDF file. In the PDF effects are flattened, the text might get expanded (which depends on).

    Please see this on the file HAVE:

  • Some files reader with an exclamation mark under the icon.

    Some Player files have icons looking weird with either an exclamation of a check mark under the icon.  When right click on these I get a message that the Explorer is resrting and then it does.  What is the problem with these files?  I am trying to include some but couldn't because esplrer restarts when I try.

    Help, please.

    These red exclamation point icons are certainly not part of windows. Here's what I found.

    These icons of red circle with a white exclamation point are called "icons of status" and are found in the following products. The following Web sites show the status of red exclamation point icons with a description of how they are used.

    Antivirus Symantec System Center (also other Symantec products)

    Mozy online backup.
    http://Mozy.force.com/support/mozyKnowledgeWidget?docid=78225

    Some McAfee products also use the software online that shows these status icons, Mozy backup. There may be other products that also use these icons.

    If you use Mozy backup

    1. Right-click on the Mozy icon / in your system tray and select settings > more settings.
    2. Click on the Options pane, then the general tab.
    3. To remove icons, disable the backup status icons Show on option files, and then click OK.
    4. To add icons, check the backup status icons Show on option files, and then click OK.
    5. You may need to restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

    If the option to display the status of the backup on file icons is greyed out, click Change options that are currently not available in the lower right.

  • some files have not been defragmented

    Original title: defragmentation of system

    some files do not have defragmentation mesg.

    Please provide additional information on your system:
    What is your system brand and model?
    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?
    The defragmentation report lists files that cannot be defragmented - is that what you are talking about and what are the names of the files
    ?
    If you run low the Windows Defragmenter disk space may have difficulty defragmenting your hard drive.  XP needs of 15% of the total capacity of the hard drive to run properly (you will get an information message if you do not have enough space).
    The XP Defragmenter cannot defragment the files that are in use (such as the registry, newspapers, events, pagefile.sys files, etc.), so they can appear as fragmented in the defragmentation report files.  These files need to be defragmented before XP load completely and starts to use these files.
    On a healthy system, it is certainly possible to have zero files fragmented (according the XP report) using PageDefrag.  This does not always mean that you will suddenly see more free space on your HARD drive, so don't let your expectations go beyond the reality when you get to zero the defragmented files and have still not run out of space.
    You can read and download PageDefrag download here:
    Here is an example of such a report showing no fragmented files that I ran on my system:
    Defrag results
    Volume (c)
    Volume size = 37,26 GB
    Cluster size = 4 KB
    Used space = 12,70 GB
    Space free = 24.56 GB
    Percentage of free space = 39 percent
    Fragmentation of the volume
    Total fragmentation = 0%
    Fragmentation of files = 0 percent
    Fragmentation of free space = 0%
    Fragmentation of files
    Total fragmented files = 0
    Total excess fragments = 0
    Way of fragments per file = 0.00
    Pagefile fragmentation
    The pagefile size = 1536 MB
    Total fragments = 0

    Total records = 3 918
    Fragmented folders = 0
    Excess folder fragments = 0

    Percentage used MFT = 12%
    Total of fragments in the MFT = 0
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Fragments of files in file size that cannot be defragmented
    None
    There are many free third-party defragmenters that you can download from the Internet.    People like other tools better than casting in the XP Defragmenter, even if you can see in the report that precedes, the XP Defragmenter is certainly capable of a result of zero of fragmented files.
    If you need help understanding your XP defragmentation report, save it in a text file and post it here (as I did mine).
    Some examples of third-party tools that you can analyze:
    Some people like the piriformis products and their application of Defraggler suite, you can get here:

  • Why some users have file option > SharePoint/Office 365 Server > archive?

    All members of the team have the same permissions in SharePoint. We can all see a doc in SharePoint. Some of us then have an option on the file menu in Acrobat that says ' SharePoint/Office 365 Server' with a 'Check In' option under this. Some members of the team do not have this option.

    How can we solve this so that everyone has the ability to easily check in an update for SharePoint?

    Cheryl Bowsher

    Hi Cheryl,

    Check the version of Acrobat for all users, it should be same and updated, i.e. 11.0.6

    Your username gets 'Check In' option via web browser?

    What is the version of SharePoint you use and what is the exact workflow?
