Re: FM12: PDF file size exploding

[Lin Sims]

Would a corrupt .joboptions file result in the sort of file size increase I
saw? I just tried creating a PDF using the Standard option, and everything
was fine.

Re: FM12: PDF file size exploding

[Lin Sims]

And that's what it was. When I replaced the copy I had with a clean
version, generated a PDF, then used the Save As Reduced size, it came out
perfectly.

Seriously, you'd think I'd be happier about solving the problem, but what a
bloody piddly thing it turned out to be to take all that time to fix.

Oh, well. Next problem ...

Re: FM12: PDF file size exploding

[Lin Sims]

FYI to all, I changed the image compression options from JPEG to off, since
we only use either SVGs or PNGs in our documents.

The file size dropped dramatically. As in, it's back to what I expected.

Now if I can just get the text within the SVG graphics to be searchable (a
major reason for the upgrade), I'll be happy. I'm already in touch with
Kapil about that.

FM12: PDF file size exploding

[Lin Sims]

Nope. It's off by default. I had switched it on for one of the PDF
generations, because I was hoping to use the import comments from PDF to
Frame, but it turns out that really isn't as useful as I'd hoped, so the
next time I created the PDF, I made sure it was off.

Lin,
As far as I recall, modern versions of Adobe Reader autogenerate the PDF 
bookmark pane and thumbnails on the fly if you ask them to,
so if megabytes are really that tight for you, you could probably ditch them 
anyway?

Re: FM12: PDF file size exploding

[Lin Sims]

Yeah, I tried that, too. As you said, the difference was fairly minimal. I
am hoping that the next time I create the generated files that things clear
up, since they'll essentially be from scratch. Possibly when I was doing
work elsewhere in the document, they got caught in an edit they shouldn't
have.

RE: FM12: PDF file size exploding

[Fred Ridder]

Not to minimize your question, but...

With the cost of computer storage running about $0.10 per gigabyte for hard 
disk or $0.50 per gigabyte for SSD, I'm not sure it's worthwhile worrying about 
10 MB more or less. That's less than 1/2 cent's worth of storage space. Unless 
you know your documents are going to be posted on a website where a significant 
number of users do not have anything resembling broadband access, spending more 
than a few seconds worrying about 10 MB in file size does not yield a good 
return on investment.

Re: FM12: PDF file size exploding

[Lin Sims]

The PDF has to be posted as a shared review on a cloud web storage site.
There's a size limit to what you can upload. My company is using corporate
GMAIL and I have a 30Gb limit on storage, and for now I have to attach a
shared review enabled PDF to an email to allow reviewers to join the
review*. Admittedly, this one file isn't going to break either of those
limits, but it's not something I can keep doing for a long period of time.
Plus the sudden increase in size worries me. If there's a problem with the
files, I need to find it before things get hosed (and yes, I did run all
the files through a MIF wash).

*I will be testing setting up a shared review by storing the shared review
PDF on the cloud drive and sending a link instead, but until I do, I know
this works.

RE: FM12: PDF file size exploding

[Abungu, Salome]

I’m not sure if this would work in structured FrameMaker but you could change 
the PDF compatibility before printing. The File compatibility bloats the size 
of the PDF if you make your document compatible with too many past versions of 
Adobe Reader.


1)  Go to print document under the File dropdown

2)  Under Printer select Setup and then select Adobe PDF from the Print 
Setup display screen

3)  From the same screen select Properties…

4)  From the Adobe PDF Document Properties display screen select Edit next 
to the Default Settings

5)  From the Standard – Adobe PDF Settings display screen, go to the 
Compatibility dropdown under File Options. Select the latest version of PDF 
available.

6)  Select OK. A Save Adobe PDF Settings As window will appear. Give a new 
name to this job option and then press Save.

Ah! More information I left out!
The book is an unstructured book, but it includes 3 files that were created 
from structured data. Those 3 files are still structured, because that's the 
only way to keep the xref links working.
The process is this:

  1.  An Excel 2010 spreadsheet is converted to multiple .xml files by using a 
script, which inserts the correct DITA tags and also creates a .ditamap for 
them.
  2.  The ditamap is converted into a Frame book using DITAFMx, which gives me 
a book file with a TOC and a single .xml.fmhttp://xml.fm file.
  3.  The .xml.fmhttp://xml.fm file is added to an unstructured Frame book 
but is left as a structured file.
  4.  The book is updated/generated and then a PDF is generated using Save As 
PDF.
As I said, when I was working in FM10, the PDF had a size of about 3, 3.5M.
The files were recently converted from FM10 to FM12. When I use the above 
process and generate the PDF from FM12, the file size has gone to about 12-13M. 
The files that had been converted from .xml to .fm have not changed since the 
last time I created the PDF in FM10. The rest of the files have changed but not 
in a major way.
In a few days I expect to regenerate those .xml files from the source Excel, so 
maybe something will change. It just seemed weird that the move from FM10 to 
FM12 seemed to result in such a large increase in the PDF size.

I'll keep y'all posted.

I haven't noticed any significant size difference in PDFs from XML from FM11 to 
FM12. I just did a quick test of a single page .. when saved to PDF from FM11 
it's 63KB and from FM12 it's 69 KB .. over 100 pages that might be a difference 
of 60KB. Not a big difference from my perspective.

Doing a similar test with an unstructured file, the FM11 PDF is 34 KB and the 
FM12 PDF is 40KB.

The structured/XML sourced file actually has less content than the unstructured 
file, and the resulting PDF is larger .. so it's possible that your PDFs that 
come from XML may be larger. And there does seem to be an increase in size 
(from both structured and unstructured) in PDFs from FM11 to FM12.

You might check to see if your files are still structured .. removing the 
structure (if that's the intent) might reduce the file size. Also, since these 
files came through a different path, they may have additional 
content/graphics/?? on reference pages which could increase the file size.

Cheers,

I'll be regenerating these files again soon, so I'll see if the increase

I haven't noticed any significant size difference in PDFs from XML from 
FM11 to FM12. I just did a quick test of a single page .. when saved to 
PDF from FM11 it's 63KB and from FM12 it's 69 KB .. over 100 pages that 
might be a difference of 60KB. Not a big difference from my perspective.


Doing a similar test with an unstructured file, the FM11 PDF is 34 KB 
and the FM12 PDF is 40KB.


The structured/XML sourced file actually has less content than the 
unstructured file, and the resulting PDF is larger .. so it's possible 
that your PDFs that come from XML may be larger. And there does seem to 
be an increase in size (from both structured and unstructured) in PDFs 
from FM11 to FM12.


You might check to see if your files are still structured .. removing 
the structure (if that's the intent) might reduce the file size. Also, 
since these files came through a different path, they may have 
additional content/graphics/?? on reference pages which could increase 
the file size.


Cheers,
...scott

Lin,
I just tested your issue opening a 12 page text only structured

Did nothing more than open the FM7.2 in FM12 and then save it as a
FM12 document.
Printed FM12 version using Acro XI Adobe PDF driver.
Distilled postscript to PDF.
FM7.2 file size=358KB Acro 8 PDF=207KB
FM12 file size=8630KB Acro XI PDF=278KB
This was one chapter of a 30+ chapter book.
The Acro8 PDF of the book is 3025KB.
I can open and update all the chapters, but with only 70KB
increase in one chapter, I would expect a slight increase in the
book, but nothing like you are experiencing.

Has anyone had an issue with the size of a generated PDF
increasing dramatically after moving a book from FM10 to FM12
(or any earlier version of FM to FM12)?

I've got a book that's gone from under 3M to over 12M, and
that's AFTER running the Save as Reduced Size.

Is this a bug, have I not set something up in either FM12 or
Acrobat 10 correctly, or is there a solution?

After a bit of testing, the increase seems to be linked to 3 files that
were created using DITAFMx from a batch of xml files that were generated by
script from an Excel workbook. Interestingly, these files have always been

Download size is certainly a consideration for my PDFs - a few of our customers 
use old-fashioned 300-1200 baud modems in very isolated areas (upper Amazon,
