Illustrator :: CS6 - Reducing AI File Size Without Converting To Another File Type

Sep 12, 2013

I designed artwork for a large banner (84" x 32") so my AI artboard is that large. As you can imagine, with all the text and graphics I used, this file size is 22.8 MB. I need to email this art to the printer, but the file size is too large to email. How do i go about reducing the file size in AI so it still maintains large format print resolution? Will saving to a PDF lose the print quality?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Reducing File-Size After Converting From 3DS To IPN

May 13, 2012

My intention was to convert a 3DS-File into an IPN-File, to use it in Inventor.As I did not managed to do this in Inventor, I importet the 3DS-File in CATIA V5 and converted it into a CATIA-CatPart and from there in an IGES.Then I was able to open it in Inventor and made a IPN out of it.

The PROBLEM: The original 3DS-File had 700 kilobyte but the actual IPN 54 MegaByte !

Illustrator :: Reducing File Size Without Loosing Clarity?

Apr 6, 2012

I have two designs for labels that have to be approved by the government for type size regulations.  The current size of the illustrator files are 133.3 MB and 24.7 MB I need to provide these at no larger than 450 kb AND the type must be readable and measurable for approval.
 
I have tried everything I can think of to provide the artwork small enough yet still retaining enough resolution to not make the type fuzzy and not able to be measured for size.  I've tried making the files from within illustrator, I've tried taking everything into Photoshop to make the JPEGS with no luck.  They want either a gif, jpeg or tiff no larger than 450 kb that is viewable at the print size of the label with no loss of resolution...

VideoStudio :: Reducing VIDEO File Size?

Dec 7, 2010

I made a 8GB video in PAL sometime ago. Some of my relatives in Canada cannot view it. As I do not have the original footage, I imported the DVD into X3 and tried to create a DVD in NTSC format. The final size came to 9.3 GB and it appears X3 will not burn or create VIDEO_TS folders if the size is more than 9GB. I was hoping I could use DVDShrink to reduce the file size to fit a 8GB disc once the VIDEO_TS folder is created on the computer.

AutoCad 3D :: Reducing File Size Of Model

Dec 28, 2012

I have a 3D model that consists of a large number of "small" objects that i created earlier in separate files. The problem is that now my model is 50Mb and I am having trouble working with it. Is there a way of reducing size, or is there any other solution that would not change the geometry of my model?

Working with Intel Quad Core, 6Gb of ram and ATI Radeon HD3800.

Lightroom :: Reducing File Size In Photoshop?

Dec 13, 2012

I had a question on reducing the image size after editing in Photoshop. 
 
After doing my changes in Lightroom, I typically make edits in Photoshop and then do some final touchups back in Lightroom.  The RAW file from my camera is approximately 24 MB.  After making my edits in PS, the TIFF file it produces (with all layers flattened) is in the 60 MB range.
 
My question is, if before sending in back to LR, I change the image size in PS say to 12 MB or so, am I basically creating a lossy jpg file?  Meaning -- by reducing that TIFF file size down to 12 MB am I throwing out important information such that when I go back to LR I am losing information and won't have as much control as the 60MB TIFF file?
 
keep upwards of 80MB per image (due to the RAW + edited file).  I don't want to lose imporant information so I will if I have to, but would prefer not.

Illustrator :: File Saved As Small PDF Changes Type Point Size And Vertical Scaling

Oct 8, 2013

I have an Adobe Illustrator CS6 document with body copy set using 6.5 pt. Helvetica Neue LT Std. - Bold Condensed & Light Condensed.
 
After saving the file as a PDF in Illustrator using the [Smallest File Size] setting, closing the file, and opening the newly saved PDF in Illustrator - the 6.5 pt. text is now 5.53 pt. with a vertical scaling of 117.65%.
 
This PDF is for client review purposes - on screen or laser print - not for reproduction. We try to keep the file size as small as possible to make downloading and e-mail attachments manageable.
 
In this case, my client is opening the PDF in Illustrator to double-check the text point sizes for legal & regulatory purposes.

If I save the same Illustrator file as a PDF using other settings like [High Quality Print], the text size is unchanged.
 
 I was able to repeat the issue using Helvetica LT Std in place of Helvetica Neue LT Std.
 
I have attached some screen shots for reference.

I found this older thread from 2011 where someone had the same issue - but was never resolved: [URL] ....

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X3 :: Reducing Size Of PDF File

Apr 14, 2009

I have a number of files  which were prepared in Corel Draw which I would like to post online.  The designer has supplied the PDF versions of these files, however, the files sizes are too large for web usage. A 8 pg document is 5Mb. I have tried reducing the sizes by compressing in Acrobat;  importing the PDFs into Corel Draw and re-creating PDF files with reduced resolution; recreating the PDF without the bitmap images (there are about  10 images)..yet the file size of the PDF does not change significantly.

What else can I do to reduce the file size of the generated PDF files?  The files are newsletters, so most of the content is text and a few shapes and lines.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Reducing XML File Size Output

Aug 27, 2013

I am having a problem when exporting surface data into an .xml format using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012. I am using LIDAR information to create a surface over an area of approximately 3 hectares in order to undertake future flood modelling. When I have created my surface in Civil 3D the overall file size is around 5MB, however when the surface exported to a .xml format the file is approximately 860MB. I have tried to create a new surface from contour information to decrease overall fle size but with no avail. Any recommendations to decrease the .xml file size without having excessive loss of accuracy for my modelling.

Lidar information that I am using to create surface can be found at URL.....

AutoCAD Inventor :: Reducing Step File Size

We were sent some step files of valves from a company - what would be the best practice to make this into (clean up) a useful part to be used in our assemblies. Interested in converting it into a useful part but reduced in size. (Compared to other valves we use - this is easily 10 times the size).

Paint Shop Pro :: Save JPEG Without Substantially Reducing File Mb Size?

Oct 29, 2012

In vX1 I could save jpeg without substantially reducing file Mb size. In vX4, whenever I edit and save a jpeg file (using save & save as), it results in a reduced number of Mb's. Options in the 'save as' dialog are set at best. It would appear that PSP X4 is automatically optimising. Is there any way that the original file size can be retained on saving after editing?

Illustrator :: Reducing Huge File Sizes

Jul 20, 2010

I am making very detailed artwork in Illustrator that ultimately has to be uploaded to a website as a pdf file. This artwork takes ages to save and when converted to pdf format, even at the lowest quality pdf, the files are huge. What is the best way to get the file size down? Turning the files into low res jpegs somewhat defeats the purpose of making detailed vector art in the first place.
 
The artwork has a lot of repeated elements that could be turned into symbols but I'm told this doesn't fix the problem of huge pdfs.

Photoshop :: Why Does File Size Increase Converting Jpg To Eps Deprecated

May 10, 2013

In converting a flat rgb jpg to an eps via Save As… the file size increases to basically uncompressed size. I thought eps files could contain jpg format. Has that changed?
 
I also notice eps files are no longer supported when clipping paths to InDesign. Is eps file type being deprecated?

Illustrator :: When Saving A File Using Save Option / File Is Not Staying At Size Of Artboard

Jun 18, 2013

am having an Issue with CS6 when saving files. When saving a file using the 'Save' option (not 'Save As') the file is not staying at the size of the artboard as it should, it is however being aurtomatically cropped down to the actual artwork size. This is causing issues with the Process we work with as we need the file to stay at the artboard size.If I click 'Save As' and change the Adobe PDF Preset to 'Press Quality' then this works, however this means that every file we save(which is quite alot in a day) means we have to go through the 'Save As' option and manually change each save.why this has suddenly started to happen with our Illustrators and do you know how to fix this so that it stays at the Artboard size when 'Save' is used?

Illustrator :: Importing Multiple Vectors Of Same File And Keeping File Size Down

Feb 3, 2014

So, I'm trying to create a repeat pattern of a Balloon illustration I've done in Adobe Illustrator. I've got the singular file (balloon.ai), which weighs in at around 700MB.
 
Now I'm trying to create the repeat of this pattern on a separate Artboard which will repeat these balloons, 30 balloons per repeat square to be precise.
 
What would be the best way to import these separate balloons into the repeat square once (as they're the same file) without affecting the weight of the file and performance of Illustrator?
 
So, in essence, is there a way to import that balloon.ai file and only have it use up 700MB on the page rather than 30x700MB by the time I've placed 30 balloons?
 
I can't rasterize the files as the printer needs the raw file.

VideoStudio :: Best File Type / Size To Save Files?

May 20, 2012

I realise there are pros and cons to this question and the temptation is to opt for the highest quality, but the file sizes are huge. So, my camera files will be mainly 1080 files at 30fps, what will be the best file type/size to save files for future use. I don't really mind the rendering time and space isn't a huge problem, but the variety of file types is bewildering. Most clips will find their way to DVD but I don't want to reduce resolution as they might be used at a later date for Blu-Ray.

I made a really awesome logo in Adobe Illustrator earlier today and wanted to share it with my friends, but I didn't know how since none of them had Illustrator. Then I remembered that I once opened a PNG file in Illustrator, so I tried to save it as a PNG.
 
In case you haven't already guessed, my efforts were in vain. Is there anyway that I can convert an .ai to a .png?

Illustrator :: Converting DXF File Created In PAD To AI

Jul 16, 2013

I'm woring on a custom textile design that needs to be printed on fabric within the CAD-generated garmet production pattern.
 
The garmet pattern was created in the CAD progrom PAD.
 
PAD exports .dxf and .txt files. The dxf file imports into AI as text and code. The .txt file is unusable. It's scale is skewed and important information is missing from the file.
 
I'm working in AI 5.5 on a Mac. I've imported .dxf files from other cad progrms like Optitex no problem.
 
PAD exports .dxf AAMA. I need to import this into AI, and the AI forums say Illustrator can read .dxf files.
