PDF Generation / Re: Ridiculously large size of...
Last post by riczan - December 26, 2024, 10:10:17 PMHi Normander
Thanks for your reply.
In the collected output folder the .sla file is 788 KB, how is it possible that it can grow to 1 GB??
Out of 105 pictures 14 are .png, 3 are .webp, 1 is a .tif (but only 750 KB) and the rest are .jpg.
Do you have any suggestions on what I can do to bring that size down?

PDF Generation / Re: Ridiculously large size of...
Last post by Nermander - December 26, 2024, 08:53:43 PMOften the issue is not the images but the text. As far as I understand Scribus places each glyph independetly. So instead of "Move cursor to X, Y, Insert string 'Hello world'" it will do:
Move cursor to X, Y, Insert glyph 'H'
Move cursor to X, Y, Insert glyph 'e'
Move cursor to X, Y, Insert glyph 'l'
Move cursor to X, Y, Insert glyph 'l'
Move cursor to X, Y, Insert glyph 'o'
etc.
Then when it comes to images, what format are the images? The PDF format can only handle a limited set of image types, so when creating the PDF the images may be converted to a different format causing them to grow.
Move cursor to X, Y, Insert glyph 'H'
Move cursor to X, Y, Insert glyph 'e'
Move cursor to X, Y, Insert glyph 'l'
Move cursor to X, Y, Insert glyph 'l'
Move cursor to X, Y, Insert glyph 'o'
etc.

PDF Generation / Ridiculously large size of out...
Last post by riczan - December 26, 2024, 08:13:06 PMhi all
I have a 200 page document consisting of text and pictures.
Collecting it for output with uncompressed file and including fonts and colour profiles produces a folder of total size of 513MB.
When I create a PDF set to PDF 1.4 for Printer compressing text and vector graphics, compression method Lossless, quality Maximum, but no maximum image resolution I obtain a PDF of approximately 2.5 GB; however if I change to a maximum image resolution of 300 dpi the output PDF is now approximately 1.5 GB. Why the size difference between the output PDF and the collected files? How is it possible that combining 513 MB of files into one multiplies the overall size by 3 or 5 times??
BTW, I am using Scribus 1.5.8 on Windows 10.

Last post by AdmFubar - December 26, 2024, 05:13:41 PMWhat operating systems are you using? On the new machine did you just copy the sla and the images? or did you use collect for output on the old machine and copy that directory to the new one?

Last post by Nermander - December 26, 2024, 08:33:57 AMVersion 1.6.2 is the latest stable version, is it not?
I would download an run a program to test the memory. There are suites you can put on a USB drive and boot from that will be able run different memory test applications.

Last post by AdmFubar - December 25, 2024, 01:03:27 AMThere is an option to embed the image. Just keep in mind it will make your scribus sla file rather large depending on how many images and how large they are.

Last post by Nermander - December 24, 2024, 11:47:59 PMAs far as I know Scribus stores the absolute path, unless you have done a Collect for output. So moving the SLA will break images (but there is an image manager that can be used to try to sort that out).

Last post by Nickpanes - December 24, 2024, 01:44:46 PMI have a similar problem with a new computer. I file that still loads on my old computer fails to load on the new one which has loads of memory. Am I right in assuming that all I need to do is ensure the .sla is in a folder which also contains the images folder? In other words the positioning is relative to each other, not necessarily located in an identical address on the computer. I have tried working with a reduced size set of images and with the image file absent completely but Scribus crashes when loading the book. the cover, a separate .sla, loads fine.
