Illustrator :: Why EPS File So Large
Oct 15, 2012
I have an .eps file that contains a couple of dots and some hash marks, but the file size is ~4.2MB. I have deleted the unused color swatches, bringing the file size down to ~3.3MB. At this point however, I cannot figure out why the file is still so large. Judging from the number of unused color swatches, thousands if not tens of thousands, I am thinking that the user has been importing artwork into this same template for years. With that in mind, what other objects can accumulate to create an unusually large file size? I believe we can have the user create a new template, but I would like to know exactly what is happening so that we can prevent this issue from occuring in the future.

Saving a large file from illustrator to PDF. The pdf is only saving the printer marks and bleeds. Checked the layers in the pdf. Made sure the pdf compatible was checked in Illustrator.

I duplicated one of my previously created CS6 Adobe Illustrator files (28 MB) with photos that have clipping masks. Why is my new AI file now 148 MB in size, when all of my newly linked jpeg graphics total only 9 MB? If I save it as a regular pdf it's 148MB, but if I save this same file with the smallest size pdf format, it reduces it down to only 242 KB. No files are embedded either in my newly created AI file. My business associate working on other Illustrator files experiences this same phenomenon sporadically at times too. It has us both baffled.

using Illustrator CS. My Illustrator document size is 10,000 x 1920 pixels. I need to export from Illustrator at this size at 72 dpi but Illustrator says:
“Could not Export. Rasterized Image Exceeds Maximum Bounds for Save for Web"
I tried using “Export" and "Save for Web” but I get the same answer.
Can someone using CS 5 open a new document 10,000 x 1920 pixels and try to export it at 72 dpi and tell me if it works?

Is my illustrator running slow? I have an i7 3770K, 16gb ram, gtx 660i 2g, h100i, ax1200i and maximus formula v. I'm running dual 24" 1920x1080 monitors. File size is 800x600 pixals with 5 layers and 100+ paths in each layer. Is the program running slow because the file is too big or is there a problem with illustrator?

I'm working with some files that must be saved as .ai files and then emailed. I linked a photo, gave it a drop shadow and saved the file. The original file without the photo was about 1.5 mb. The size of the photo is about 2 mb. After I linked the file and then saved it, my .ai file was 21 mb which is too large to email. Why is the file size so large, especially when the picture is not embedded?

Recently, I am working with illustrator CS6.
After inserting quite a lot of linked images (without embedding), the file size becomes much larger, up too nearly 400MB.
I saved without pfd compatible function already, but the file size is sill very large. I did not face the same problem working with CS5 before, is that a bug for CS6?

I've got a large file that is about 72x54. I want to cut it up into pieces that are about 24x18 and print it pieces that I will tile together as a whole image after I print them. Is there a way to save out my file as 24x18 pieces?

I am looking to create a collage made from 100 photos (all taken high res) to be printed large, approx 120cm x 50cm. To be able to print this size I need to keep the high resolution and hence looking for a large file output.

I have been learning about Textures and I've been playing around with different ones and so I have come across a great site with lots of Texture files for download ...
[URL]......
Well, the files are small eg: 38x38 and 76x76 and how to create a larger image with these small images. Also, they are in .png format... if that matters.
From what I've read a Texture is a Pattern ... right? So, I have searched the FAQ's, the Manual etc. for things like: How to make a large Pattern, How to use a small file for a large Pattern and so forth but I can't find the right info.
Am I suppose to use them to create a Repeating Pattern? Can I do this and have them be seamless?

I created a design for my fraternity's new rush banner we need to have made. It's going to be 10ft x 8ft. I originally sent the design scalled down to 1000pixels x 800 pixels. The gentleman working with us replied that I must send him the image scaled down at 350 dpi or in real size at 72dpi. After changing the resolution to 350 pixels per inch (I'm assuming that means dpi), I tried scaling it up just to make sure everything looked correct. *The problem is though that when scaled up to 120in X 96in, the text as well as edges of the colors have a haze around them. Will this come out when printed?

I have CS5 and whenever I try saving any file type to PDF it maximizes the file size tremendously. I have flattened the layers so that is not the issue, and it doesnt seem to do it with other file formats, so it makes me think there is a hidden preset that i cant find pertaining to PDF formatting. Example: Opened up a PDF file sized at 3.1M, and saved it without making any changes and it jumped to a size of 10.3M. (I tried doing the same thing in Photoshop 7 and the file stays at the size of 3.1M.)

I'm having huge problems with opening large files. They're slowing down my entire machine, and even minor things such as resizing a layer with the file can result in 10 minute waits. I'm hoping I don't have to reinstall the OS, but I really cannot work out why there's such a jump in performance. It's becoming impossible to work with files approaching 1GB, leat alone some of the 2-3GB files I need to, which previously weren't a problem.
I've recently upgraded to CC from CS5 on a 2.6GHz i7 MacBook Pro (less than a year old, circa. Jan 2013), with 8GB RAM and 500+ GB free memory on a 1TB hard drive. I don't have any third party plug-ins, and am very careful with fonts.
I've let Photoshop use 80% of the 6440MB of available RAM.Activity monitor is showing PS uses about 60% of the CPU when saving, otherwise only 30/40%, about 5GB of virtual memory, and I have plenty of space on the disk.I don't know if it's odd, but my sleepimage file is about 8.6GB, which seems large? Also, there are at least 14 swapfiles all at least 1GB - should there be so many?
Should probably say I'm also using an external monitor, but performance doesn't change when I disconnect.

I have my editing all done for a 2 hour 12 minute video. It has been my experience that I can get about 1hr 7min. on a DVD. Normally when i'm done editing, I choose Share > Create Video File > DVD. This creates a DVD compatable mpeg-2 file for burning later. I know I want to create 2 seperate DVD's. How do I split the video? Is it possble to slpit in the editing phase? I'm using VS pro 12.

I've designed a shirt I want to send to the press to have made for a premiere. The file (flattened) is 16.3MB. The press allows an upload of 16MB. When I asked what formats they allowed they told me to send the PSD file. This is going to sound dumb, but is there a way to shave .3 from the file, yet keep the content? Maybe resize the file just a bit?

I have this project I need to print in a newspaper. It's a PSD in CMYK, 300dpi (20 cm x 32 cm). I was told it need to be a TIFF or a EPS with text layers converted to paths.
So I've "turned into shape" every text layer I've had (it's tricky 'couse this way 1 text layer = one font color ... so if I had a block of text with 3 different colors I had to break it into 3 different layers ... anyways) and saved it as a TIFF and EPS. Just to see which one will be better (resemble my original PSD more?).
so after "saving as" TIFF my file grew from 177mb to 208mb and I still had layers and eveything (I've never actually used TIFF files as the main project files). I can preview the file in IrfanView - I understand TIFF still contains all my paths right? (well it should being a 200+ mb file ;))
I then tried the "Save As Photoshop EPS". Now the file is 95mb aaaaaand I cannot open it with any Adobe software. why is that?
Photoshop says:
"could not complete your request becouse the parser module cannot parse the file"
and Illustrator says:
"The operation cannot complete becouse of an unknown error"
By the way - I've always thought that EPS is a paths-only format. It seems it can also contain raster graphics?

I'm working with a large PSD (100+ layers, over 170MB). I wan't to preview it as a PDF. I click Save As ... and I make a new file on the desktop. I minimize Photoshop, go to desktop and open the PDF. Ok everything's ok. I go back to photoshop (just maximize it). I work work work .... Ctrl+S every once in a while ... and I suddenly realize that the file I'm working on has changed its name from project2.psd to project2.pdf (I see this in the top bar of the window). I minimize photoshop, go to the folder where my psd file is stored and I check it for weight -> it's now 24MB instead of 170MB. Ok, Istead of going back in history I decide to Overwrite my original project2 (which is now a pdf as the windows explorere shows ... [oh yeah, and the pdf I've created on the desktop is still there as a totally separate file]) with the project I have currently opened in photoshop (I still have layers in the layers pallete and everything, it's just the photoshop shows the name of the file in the top bar "project2.pdf"). I do that. Now I close all the projects opened in photoshop (I guess that's the moment I really screwed up) - though I don't close the program itself if that matters at all - and I reopen my project2.psd.
it opens as a PSD ..... but it's flatten. No layers.
why after creating a new pdf file on the desktop the whole project I was still working with turned into a PDF file.
I wan't to get my 170MB 100+ layers file
Does Vista store some temp files anywhere? I suppose it won't be there.

I have CS3 extended and have been compiling a series of high resolution photographs into one layer in photoshop. I have copy and pasted each photo and then stitched them together resulting in a file that is 1.35Gb. I want to compress the file, keeping the resolution as high as possible, so it is easier to use in illustrator and import into ArcGIS. I have tried saving the file as a jpg, pdf and tiff with variable compression qualities. As soon as i open the image up in a different programme and zoom in I loose the picture, eitehr to a blank screen or a message saying 'invalid format/picture'. Opening the file and saving is taking so long too do as well...

I can't for the life of me figure out why a 9 page PDF containing only outlined text, is ending up at 4.5mb. It's pretty intense lines and text, etc. But still. It seems too large.

I have Revit server setup, with my Central server at Head office and a local server at one our smaller office. We have some large files (600 MB +) we need to sync and update. The issue we are finding is the initial download of the files takes a very long time and we want to know if it is possible to take a copy of the file from the central via USB/Disk and place it onto the local server or the local user? Then start editing and get the sync to work with only file changes. Is this possible and if so where do I copy the file to once I have it at my local site?

I am trying to import a large wmv file (1hr 6min) into premiere pro cs6 so that I can blur some faces, it is a traffic stop, but the file will not import. I have done this before several times but the largest file was 16 min. Is this file too big to import? Because of legal reasons it cannot be edited in any way except to blur the faces. I was going to divide it into smaller files to import but was told it had to be intact.

I am importing a large avi file into After Effects. It is 50 minutes long. When I import it into after effects, it only loads 32 seconds of it. I've tried renaming the file, reloading the program, but it still will only load that small portion of it.

I'm relatively new to using illustrator and im trying to change the dpi of a drawing. One of my frinds made a T-shirt design in a non adobe software program, forget it know, and accidentally draw it at a 100 dpi file and looks blured when changed to a 185x185 pixel size. Can I take that file and change it to 300 dpi?
Go to effects>
Document Raster Effects>
and select dpi quality
I've already done that and it doesn't look like it did anything. Does it need to be redrawn?
I'm running cs6

I downloaded an image from the NASA LROC Site that is around 10,000 x 68,000 pixels in size. It is HUGE! But I get an error message from Photoshop when attempting to open the file:
Photoshop can only decode JPEG encoded images up to 32767 pixels wide or tall.
The file is a PTIF file around 70mb in size. How do I get PS to open this file? (I am using Photoshop CS6 Extended on Windows 7).

how do I convert a large (1-3.4 GB) .pbs, .raw or .tif file to a pdf or back to a .psd? I made a large psd file to keep as much detail as possible for a 24" x 16" actual size graphic without pixelating and with sharp edges.
The vendor wants a pdf file. How do I convert back without reducing quality of the graphic. I am using photoshop CS4.

I was scanning a roll of drawings on a large format scanner, and I ended up with JPGs that are larger than 30k pixels wide. (I understand this is a limitation PS has)
The issue is, I spent hours scanning all these rules, and now I have a few JPEGs files that are very large (45k x 10k pixels), that I cannot open at all).The JPGs open fine in the windows viewer, so I know they are not corrupt.
If I can find someway to open them, I can then resize them slightly to fit within the limit, or save them as (PSB - Large Format).One of the ideas I had was to find some other software that I can use to open and re-save, or to split the JPGs in 2 or 3 pieces, and then piece them back together in Photoshop.

I captured approximately 1 hour DV file contained different scenes from different places. Now, I would like split this file for smaller parts and save them as a separate .avi files.
Is this possible to do this by VSX3 (e.g. cut or multitrim on timeline and save to separate folder each pieces?
If X3 cannot do this, what software you can recommend for relatively easy and quick multi-split, without loose quality?
