I am using crystal reports 2008,
I have an issue when adding an image into the file the file size increase over 7mb.
The original report is only around 30kb and the image is just under 300kb
Why is the report increasing to such a large file and how can I reduce this?
Crystal doesn't always play well some image formats. I'd recommend converting the image to a 256-bit .bmp and trying it again. This will also fix any image artifacts that you'd otherwise get while printing or exporting the report.
I know it's quite an old topic, but maybe still alive for other users.
You should open your Crystal, go into File -> Report Options and unselect the "Retain Original Image Color Depth" (or something similar in other CR versions).
This will reduce the final quality of the images, but drastically reduce the size of the PDF as well.
In my case, 2 dynamically added pics of ~500Kb were making an output PDF of 22MB (!!). After unflagging that, it was just a 1.2MB. Yes, the quality of the picture is worse, but in my case it was good enough.
Another trick is to avoid resizing the image inside Crystal Designer.
Instead, resize the image outside Crystal.

I'm realy buffled here, i'm getting scrolbars on my published multi size images in Google Web Deigner.
So, I just want to create multiple sizes of image ads in Google Web Designer.
I go to File / New file / and i select Image (new) and multi size format. In my Responsive window i select multi-size layout, and i select 2-3 different sizes (ie 300x250, 970x250, 300x600).
Next, i import some images in the Library, and i do my design setup for each size in Edit Base document. Then, i make the needed changes for every size.
Bare in mind that since my sizes are completely different, my imported image in some of them is bigger than my actual ad size and leaks out of the borders of the ad.
When i Publish, in every size that my image is bigger than the ad size, i get... scrollbars in my result.
I'm using version 15.0.1.0922 In Windows 10
What i'm i doing wrong? I can't find any posted bug in Google Search, so, any ideas would be appreciated...
Same problem but no answer. I made the ad bigger and cut it out by hand.
New update really ain't good, Googles doing a very poor job.
I am new with cocs2d. I have created an app using Cocos2d. The app is working fine but problem is that application size is too large 350MB. There are many images in this app. I have used png and where possible jpeg images. There are many png images that have larger than 1 mb.
Is there any way to reduce the application size. I've reduced the size whereever possible. Is there any other format that can be used in place of png? There are no many animations. The png are used only purpose of transparency.
Your images are way out of size. Even if you put them on server, and then download it will take time to download.
The best option is to reduce the image size. A couple of sites that can help you do that are:-
Reduce image size
Compress image size
You can keep the image content on your server and then download the image content asynchronously (which is more imp download it first). If there are levels then download initial levels first and download remaining on the background thread. You can always display a loader on launch and display some help kinda stuff meanwhile the data gets download and cached.
You can make use of SDWebImage and other libraries to get your images stuff async.
Hope it helps.
While your pictures are fairly large and you should try to reduce the number and size, you can make gains through packaging the .png into pvr.ccz files. There are multiple different programs available to do this. I like to use Texture Packer which is available here: http://www.codeandweb.com/texturepacker
You can find some tips in my post on reducing memory usage & bundle size.
Most importantly use texture atlases in .pvr.ccz format and where possible reduce image color depth to 16 bit. Avoid JPGs altogether because they're terribly slow to load in cocos2d.
There is no issue in using png files although your images are too large, You can reduce their size by 70 - 80% by using tinypng and it will not going to hurt your graphics.

I usually edit the image size now https://resizeimage.io , you try!
I'm rendering a PDF file on my iPad using a graphics PDF context. The PDFs vary in size but may be up to 90 pages. I need a background image on each page but if I simply draw it the PDF file size will be way larger. Is there a way to kinda only add it once and 'share' it somehow across pages?
Thanks
The PDF format specification enables you to re-use objects "by reference". You can re-use any object multiple times that is defined only once. Usually that happens with fonts, logos, background images, watermarks, ICC profiles, ....
I did a test where I repeated a background image behind each PDF page. Surprisingly, the file size increased by a single and constant amount, regardless of the number of pages with repeated backgrounds.
The verdict: The drawing to PDF context libraries are smarter than you might think.
I'm making a Universal App using MonoTouch, and I'm adding my Default-Portrait.png file. That file alone (a 768x1004 .png file) is adding 711k to the size of the app. My app itself is only about 7 megs, so it's adding 10% just for the splash screen.
I could easily make this thing an 80k jpg file instead of a png, but the device doesn't seem to look for a .jpg file. Does anyone have tips for reducing the size of this launch art?
At this point, I'm thinking I might just leave the launch art out and load my own jpg and display it as soon as I have the ability to. That'll keep my app size down, but it's not as nice as having the launch art scale in immediately like most apps do.
Hmmm...given the screen of the iPad and the visual quality users are expecting, I'd just leave it like that.
But if you do want to reduce the disk space, try going to Project > Edit Project Settings > Build (tab at top), and searching for a parameter called "Compress PNG Files." Make sure that's checked. It'll run the pngcrush utility before loading the file onto disk (check the size of your IPA archive after to see if it had any effect).
pngcrush is nice as well, however that will not reduce the quality of you image. If reducing the quality of the image is an option for you, then you might try this tool: http://www.punypng.com/ - or just use an image editing tool to "optimize" the image ...
I recommend pngout if you want to really squeeze those PNGs down, and this won't cost you any quality. It simply removes unnecessary metadata (like pngcrush) and uses its own compression algorithm which is compatible with the regular decompressor used in PNG (zlib). It's really slow, though.
A simpler option is to try "Save for web" in your image manipulation program of choice. Exporting from Acorn (not just the regular save) sometimes gives me vastly smaller files. This is especially true for default images which have large, uniform areas in one colour (screenshots, a small logo in the middle of a black screen).
Is there any reason why you want to reduce the file size that badly? I don't think it matters in your case. I just checked 3 of my apps and the Default.png (of various portrait/landscape varieties) is between 29KB and 422KB, so whilst yours do seem a little heavy, your still way under the 3G download limit.
Are you positive it's adding that much to the size of the app? Did you compare a before and after?
Xcode uses pngcrush on the images for you. I know because I just tried to substitue jpegs for pngs and got the following result:
So, in short, there's not a lot to be done except simplify the image beforehand. Xcode will handle the rest.
I'm trying to write a eBook, for the iPhone, using PDF format.
The problem is, I can't create a PDF with 5 cm x 5 cm (example).
I've tried Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. Didn't work, since it is not possible to custom the paper size.
I've tried Pages 08, but it's also not possible (it's possible to set the custom size, but it doesn't work, might be a bug).
I've tried Microsoft Word. The generated PDF is a mess... Doesn't work right.
So.. I can't create a PDF, with a custom paper size. This is nuts... There must be a tool or something that works right.
Anyone knows any tool that works well?
Thanks
On the Mac (since the underlying drawing system Quartz is based on the same ancestor as PDF), you can always generate PDFs by doing Print->Save as PDF...
This generally gives good results.
I have only a suggestion, but maybe open office?
Given that the iPhone resolution is 320 x 360px with a resolution of 163ppi we need to optimise print settings before exporting our document to PDF. I’m tipping most people will view their document with the iphone orientated in landscape mode so we’ll base our document width on 360px.
So here’s the settings you need to use when exporting or printing your document to PDF:
Width: 125mm x 225mm.
That’s it. Now just print your document to PDF using a PDF printer driver like doPDF and email the document to your iPhone.
Have a look at latex. You can typeset the document to any size that you want. http://www.latex-project.org/
