Why are my InDesign files so large?
Why Is My File Size So Huge? Ben wrote: I have a 60+ page CS3 file that saves at around 450MB and growing. Doing a quick preflight check shows that there are no embedded images nor saved image previews. The linked photos themselves are high resolution, around 2-3MB a piece. If it’s not saving any image data and merely linking 500,jpg images, why would this file be so large? Ironically, I know the answer to this one because of my long history with QuarkXPress, which also exhibits this curious phenomenon. There are a number of things that can make your InDesign files huge. The first thing to always try when trying to reduce file size is to choose File > Save As. That clears out any gunk that has accumulated while you’ve been working on the file. However, in this case, the problem is, in fact, your images. These images were probably saved from a digital camera to disk, and then imported directly into InDesign. Unfortunately, many cameras save their files at 72 ppi (pixels per inch, sometimes called dpi). It may be a 17 MB, 3000 x 2000 digital capture, but if it’s saved at 72 ppi, then it’s about 41 by 27 inches large. So you import it into InDesign and scale it down to the proper size, which increases its effective resolution (watch the Info palette to see original vs. effective ppi). Now here’s the rub: When you import an image, InDesign saves a low-res “thumbnail” preview of it, right? That’s what’s stored in the InDesign file itself (so you can still see the image if the original on-disc image is missing). But when you import a 72 ppi image, InDesign saves the entire image as the preview! It essentially embeds the whole thing because it’s trying to save a low res (72 ppi) version of your 72 ppi image. The solution: Open your file in Photoshop, choose Image > Image Size, turn off the Resample Image checkbox (if you don’t want the image data to change), then set the resolution to something reasonable (such as 225 or 250 ppi). Now save the file and reimport it into InDesign. InDesign places the image at the proper size, makes a much smaller proxy image, and the next time you do a Save As, your file size should drop considerably. Sure, there are other reasons that InDesign files can get huge, but images are the main problem I’ve encountered. (By the way, I discovered why InDesign files jumped in size between CS and CS2: Color management was turned on by default in CS2 and InDesign started embedding CMYK profiles in its files. A CMYK profile may be 1-2Mb in size, so the minimum InDesign file size–what you’d get if you just had an empty INDD file–suddenly got much bigger.) By the way, Ben later replied: A quick batch in Photoshop helped me to fix these up to about 180dpi at no larger than 8 inches in either horizontal or vertical. The file size wasn’t decreasing until as you suggested doing a simple Save as. Sometimes it’s the slightest things that can trip you up. : Why Is My File Size So Huge?

How do I clear my Adobe memory?
When importing video and audio into Adobe After Effects, it processes versions of these files that it can readily access for faster performance. These are referred to as “media cache” files. These are stored in the Media Cache Files folder. In addition, there is a folder containing a database, which retains links to each of the media cache files. These are referred to as “media cache database” files. They are located in the Media Cache folder. Note: there is a delay in proper audio and video playback while newly imported media is being processed and cached. A progress bar in the lower right of the application shows the progress of the media cache being processed. Sometimes, these cache folders get too large, or contain a corrupt file, so you need to know where to locate them for deletion. By default, both the cache files (in the Media Cache Files folder) and the media cache database files (in the Media Cache folder) are stored in these locations: Mac: /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common Windows: \Users\ \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common NOTE: By default, AppData is a hidden folder. Check this tutorial on how to access it: How to Find the AppData Folder in Windows 10 – YouTube You can change the media cache location under Preferences > Media Cache in After Effects Open any After Effects project and navigate to the toolbar at the top of your screen to select Edit > Purge > All Memory & Disk Cache. You’ll be shown a dialogue box that allows you to choose if you want to clear the disk cache for all versions, or if you only want to clear for the current version of After Effects. This is helpful if you have multiple versions of After Effects downloaded on your machine. After deleting the files, you should see additional hard drive space become available, as the media cache files can take up significant space. If you have older projects you have completed, it is a good idea to delete these files to save storage space and to keep your computer’s hard drive tidier. Keep in mind that a delay also occurs after you delete all cache files and then open a current project as the files need time to rebuild. If you have a large project, budget enough time for the media cache files to rebuild. This can be done overnight, for example.

What is purge all cache?
Keeping your content fresh – While response and fast load times are crucial for users, the freshness (or accuracy) of your content is no less important for your business reputation. Caches are refreshed based on caching policies each website defines which determine the amount of time a given resource remains in the cache.
When that duration expires, the content must be retrieved from the origin server. If the content in the origin server has changed, the new version will be uploaded to the cache. In certain situations, however, you may not want to wait for the caching period to expire. An example of this would be an update on your website’s pricing page or a bug on an online game.
That’s where cache purging comes in. Purging refers to the active removal of a resource from the cache without waiting for the predetermined cache expiry time. As soon as a user requests the purged resource, the CDN will cache a copy of the updated content from the origin server.

Is 8GB RAM enough for InDesign?
RAM – RAM, or Random Access Memory is a type of computer memory that is temporary, but quickly accessed, and can be read and written at any time. The amount of RAM is very crucial when using Adobe Creative Cloud. Without a minimum amount of RAM, Adobe CC applications won’t even load let alone run smoothly.

How do I delete all images in InDesign?
176 Quickly empty out an InDesign document of text and images – ” – I often use one document that I’ve already finished as a starting point for a new document, but I usually need to get rid of all the text and graphics first. I want to keep the frames, though, that way I have something to put my new text and images into.
So, I’m going to point out a few tips for getting rid of a bunch of stuff in your documents quickly. First, let’s tackle the pictures. If you were good and put all your pictures on one layer, then you can select them all super quickly by opening the Layers panel and then holding down the option, or alt key, and clicking on that layer.
That selects all the objects on that layer. If you didn’t have all your images on one layer, then you’d have to click on one and then shift-click on each of the other ones. Once you have all these graphic frames selected, you want to select the images inside those frames.
And you can do that really quickly by clicking on this little weird-looking button up here in the control panel. It looks kind of like an alien or an octopus with a down arrow. That’s the Select Content button and it selects inside frames to select the image inside of them. There’s another way you can do it with a keyboard shortcut, too.
I’ll use that; just press shift+esc. Again, that goes inside the frame and selects the image. Now to get rid of those, you simply have to click the delete key on your keyboard. Now of course, this only works one spread at a time. If you have a lot of pages of images and it’s too annoying to do it one spread at a time, then head over to indesignsecrets.com/free and search for delete images.
There it is down there: delete all images. If you click on that, you’ll find a blog post from which you can download a script. It’s a free script and it works really well. If you don’t know how to install a script, then you can read this blog post up here. Or you can watch the movie on that topic here in the online training library.
I’ve already downloaded and installed that script, so I’ll switch back to InDesign, and let’s go run it. I’ll go to the Window menu, choose Utilities, and then Scripts. Inside my user folder, I find that script so all I have to do is double-click on it.
- It warns me, “Are you sure you want “to delete all the graphics?” Yes I am.
- Now all the graphics throughout my document are gone.
- I can see that by opening the Pages panel and just going to one of these other spreads.
- Graphics gone, but frames remain.
- Okay, now what about all this text? You can delete all the text in your document, from every text frame, really quickly.
All you have to do is open your Find/Change dialogue box. I’ll do that by pressing command+F, or control+F on Windows, then switch to the GREP tab. And in the Find what: field, I want you to type,+ then click Change all. It goes through the whole document and deletes every text from every paragraph.
- It goes through your whole document and deletes all the text, but it does leave a bunch of empty paragraphs.
- So we can take care of those by changing this to \r not /, but \r+ and then Change all again.
- There’s probably a faster way you can do this with just one GREP expression, but this is so easy and fast I don’t even worry about it.
Let’s go ahead and close this dialogue box and close these panels, and we can see that this is now an empty document. However, the last thing I often want to clean up is guides. I’ll often have a bunch of page guides sitting around that I want to get rid of.

How do I compress a 15 GB file?
Tech Ease One way to store more data when you are low on hard drive space is by using compression to make the files and folders you already have on the drive take up less space. In the past, utilities such as Winzip were used for this purpose, but Windows XP has a built in compression utility that does the same job. 
Type a name for the compressed folder and press enter. Your new compressed folder will have a zipper on its icon to indicate that any files contained in it are compressed. To compress files (or make them smaller) simply drag them into this folder. To uncompress them (or return them to their original state) drag them out of the compressed folder. Compressed folders even support a password option, allowing you to use them as a place to store sensitive information. In addition to the compressed folders feature, Windows XP supports another type of compression if your hard drive is formatted as an NTFS volume. You can see it if your hard drive was formatted with NTFS by opening My Computer and then taking a look at the details section on the lower left. NTFS compression differs from compressed folders in that the NTFS compressed folders appear like any other folders. The operating system compresses and decompresses them on the fly each time you access and close them. NTFS compressed folders do not have a zipper on their icon. 
Toward the bottom of the window you will see a check box that will allow you to Compress contents to save disk space. 
If you want to display your NTFS compressed folders using a different color, select Tools, Folder Options from an Explorer window. Then in the View tab, make sure Show encrypted or compressed NTFS files in color is checked.
