6 cups very strong chicken broth (bouillon)1/2 tsp saffron1/4 tsp smoked Spanish paprika (Pimentón de la Vera)1 small onion, peeled2 small chickens, about 2-1/2 lbs each1/2 cup olive oil1/4 lb of cooking chorizo, in 1/4 inch slices1/4 lb piece jamón serrano ham, diced1 medium onion, chopped4 scallions, chopped4 tbsp chopped garlic2 roasted piquillo peppers1 lb small or medium shrimp, shelled2 (Optional) Live lobsters, boiled, split and divided into tail sections and claws (discard or keep the head and small claws); or4 (Optional) Lobster tails, split lengthwise;8 (Optional) King crab claws; or 8 jumbo shrimp, in their shells, preferably heads on3 cups short grain Spanish rice such as Bomba or Calasparra5 tbsp chopped parsley2 bay leaves, crumbled1/2 cup dry white wine1/4 lb fresh or frozen peas18 clams and/or mussels, scrubbedLemon wedges for garnishParsley for garnish
Heat the broth with the saffron, pimentón and the whole onion. Cover and simmer 15 minutes. Remove the onion and measure the broth -- you need exactly 5-1/2 cups.
Cut the chickens into small serving pieces -- the whole breast in 4 parts, each thigh into 2 parts, the bony tip of the leg chopped off, the wing tip discarded, and the rest of the wing separated into 2 parts. Dry the pieces well and sprinkle with salt.
In a metal Paella pan, with about a 15 inch base, heat the oil. Add the chicken pieces and fry over high heat until golden. Remove to a warm platter. Add the chorizo, and jamón to the pan and stir fry about 10 minutes. Add the chopped onion, scallions, garlic, and pimentos and saute until the onion is wilted. Add the shrimp and the lobster and saute about 3 minutes more, or until the shrimp and lobster barely turn pink (the lobster will cook more in the oven.) Remove the shrimp and lobster to the platter with the chicken. Add the rice to the pan and stir to coat it well with the oil. Sprinkle in the 5 tablespoons of chopped parsley and the crumbled bay leaves. (You can make in advance up to this point.)
Stir in the chicken broth, boiling hot, the wine, rice, and peas. Salt to taste. Bring to a boil and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, over medium high heat about 10 minutes. Bury the shrimp and the chicken in the rice. Add the clams and the mussels, pushing them into the rice, with the edge that will open facing up. Decorate the paella with the lobster pieces, then bake at 325 F, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let sit on top of the stove, lightly covered with foil, for about 10 minutes. To serve, decorate with lemon wedges and chopped parsley.
Lobster can be a little expensive, so replace it with a comparable amount of shrimp if you wish!
Recipe courtesy of Spain GourmeTour magazine.
Angie Gomez Halcomb "This is very close to my Mom's recipe that was the best I ever had. One secret she always did was to take the shells of the shimp and boil them to make broth. She would use shrimp broth along with chicken broth."
EdS "I grew up eating Spanish paella in Latin America. This is by far the best recipe I have ever tried! It was the right amount for the 14" paella pan we have. We did modify it a bit in terms of the seafood mix and amount of chicken and chorizo, but we followed the rest to the letter. We liked the sequence of the recipe which provides an optional stopping point midway. This allows you to do all the hard cooking ahead of time and then do the final easy part of the cooking when you are close to eating time. This worked very well for a dinner party we had."
Christian "This is not paella. Maybe "rice with stuff"."
Veronique "I used this recipe as a base but didn't put in the crab or clams. It's the most delicious recipe ever and my paella was a great success!"
Stephen "The recipe was okay. Good ingredients. However, you are not going to form the crust on the bottom of the rice if you keep stirring. And when the author says "lobster can be expensive" I shook my head. It's like saying "Diamonds and platinum can be expensive." They are always expensive. As is lobster. Unless you go get it yourself. Just don't stir the paella. "
Jamie "This was delicious (and enough to feed an army!). I used 1/2 seafood stock, 1/4 clam juice, and 1/4 chicken stock because they use seafood stock in Sevilla. Other than that, followed the recipe exactly as written and the paella came out perfectly! Definitely an authentic version of paella and well liked by all my guests. "
Joan "Made this last night for the first time for a dinner party of 12 and it was FABULOUS! 2 of my guests had paella in Spain not long ago and said mine was as good or better! I made a couple changes: used basmati rice; 1 tsp saffron; extra cup of broth; added in scallops b/c didn't have crab/lobster. Cooked it all the way through on the stove instead of using oven. Don't leave out the Spanish chorizo, it's a key ingredient! All the flavors together were delicious! Thank you La Tienda for making us feel like we were in Spain :) Your recipe made the party one to remember!"
Anne "Fantastic recipe! It's the same one my grand-mother used to make when I was a kid. I grew up with it, but she passed away without sharing the recipe. It brings back so many good memories. Gracias La Tienda!"
Luis "You can't go wrong. Perfect!"
maldaly "This is, by far, the best paella recipe around. It's rich, savory, complex and spectacular. Be sure to use all Spanish ingredients including olive oil, paprika and, especially, the choriso. Mexican choriso will ruin it. I have used American Speck instead of Jamon Serrano without harm though. Be sure that there is a good piece of fat on the Speck; it's where the flavor comes from. A simple riff on this recipe tones it down and makes it acceptable for people who don't/can't eat shellfish: Use chicken stock instead of seafood/fish stock. Chicken thighs for the meat and FRESH peas. Mmmmmm."

Blog Tags: Coral Spawning
'Like swimming in a snow globe'
I've been bringing you updates from our folks in Copenhagen this week. Today I've got a brief, but related, break in the action for you. And it's about coral sex.
In this month's issue of Smithsonian Magazine, Megan Gambino follows renowned coral reef biologist Nancy Knowlton to Panama on her annual pilgrimage to watch tropical corals spawn.
Most corals are hermaphroditic "broadcast spawners," which means they release sacs containing both eggs and sperm, synchronizing their spawning with neighboring coral colonies. How do they know it's time to get busy? Scientists think the corals use three cues: the full moon, sunset, which they sense through photoreceptors, and a chemical that allows them to "smell" each other spawning. Pretty phenomenal, huh?

The Annual BA Board of Trustees (BoT) was held on Saturday, 5 April 2014, at the Presidential Palace, and was headed by President Adly Mansour. Attended by the BoT and Advisory Board members, the Meeting discussed the BA role in safeguarding national Egyptian values, and commanded international cooperation and partnership between the BA and several European institutions. The BoT Meeting also tackled a proposal for the future of the BA depending on expansion of the work done.
In the framework of the Program to Support Cultural Diversity and Creativity across Egypt funded by the European Commission in Cairo, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina will organize a new project for young people entitled "Creativity Youth Forum" which will be hosted by the Bayt Al-Sinnari Center for Science, Culture and Arts in district of Sayeda Zeinab, Cairo. The Creativity Youth Forum aims to connect young people from different Governates and build their capacity to work together in promotion of cultural heritage and the advancement of developmental processes. These Forums will give young people the chance to participate in various workshops focused on different themes; including photography, graphic design, literature, painting and film-making. Applications are open to participants from the ages 18-34.
A 2-day video mapping show; 3D projection combined with sound and lighting effects, on Ancient Alexandria projected on the wall of the BA Conference Center building. The theme of the projection is the history of Alexandria from its establishment till the end of the Classical Period, with special focus on the main attractions sites of the city and its historical milestones. Augmented Reality means overlaying virtual digital elements on reality. It refers to the innovative multimedia techniques that make reality interact with digital constructions and reconstructions, thus modifying, enhancing and enriching the perceived world. It includes interactive projections, lighting techniques, virtual architecture and communication and audiovisual instruments. Its applications are numerous, ranging from overlapping virtual components onto reality (geo-localization and referencing, logical and physical mapping) to simulation of virtual reality elements and artistic applications through performances, video projections and installations. The event is part of the International Augmented Med (I AM) project, an international cooperation project involving 14 partner organizations from 7 Mediterranean countries, and is funded by the European Union's ENPI CBC MED Programme.

Bio: Porn Star Porsche Lynn certainly lives up to her chosen first name -- she's a lean, high-octane performer who's built for speed. Her hard-charging, dynamic sexuality made her one of the most highly sought-after starlets of the late 80's and early 90's. Porsche Lynn has a trim, freckled body with long legs, large breasts, and the slightly hard but still pretty face of a woman who has seen it all.
Porsche Lynn worked as an exotic dancer before getting into porn, travelling throughout the U.S. and Canada as a featured performer. By 1986 the big bucks of hardcore proved too hard to resist, and Porsche Lynn moved to Los Angeles to give it a whirl. Her white-hot eroticism soon made her a top star. Porsche Lynn can do it all, going from groups to anals to lesbian scenes without missing a beat.
Although she has turned her energies to producing and directing nowadays, Porsche Lynn can still turn on the erotic charm on-screen when she wants to. She gave a scorching performance in 'Buttman Vs. Buttwoman,' a big reason it won the XRCO's 1992 Video Of The Year award. In 1993, Porsche Lynn was again honored by the group, taking home the Best Anal Sex Scene award for her work in 'Arabian Nights.' With over 100 features to her credit, Porsche Lynn has a body of work almost as impressive as her own buxom bod. Rev yourself up in a hurry with any of her always scorching appearances -- especially that great all-time classic, 'Ten Little Maidens'.
Porsche Lynn received the award in 1994 from the Adult Video News for the movie 'Servin' It Up'.

TEACCH is a special education program developed by psychologist Eric Schopler and colleagues at the University of North Carolina in the early 1970s. Today it is used by many public school systems and preschools. It has also been adapted for home-based teaching and for use with adults in residential care settings.
TEACCH employs an approach called Structured Teaching, which emphasizes a highly structured and predictable classroom environment and the use of visual learning (a strength of many persons with autism).
The TEACCH approach is based on a respect for "the culture of autism." It embraces a philosophy that people with autism have "characteristics that are different, but not necessarily inferior, to the rest of us."
A typical TEACCH classroom has separate, defined areas for tasks such as individual work, group activities and play. Teachers use pictures, or "visual supports," to help communicate schedules to help students transition between activities.
For example, a student may sit at a work station and complete activities such as matching pictures or letters. Lessons emphasize the use of visual supports. Some feature symbols and matching words for answering questions and requesting items from the teacher. The use of visual supports can help relieve frustration for nonverbal children. In addition, it can foster the recall of words for those who are starting to speak.
The TEACCH program developed in North Carolina includes an array of services such as evaluations, parent training and support groups, social and recreation groups, counseling and supported employment. However, these services may be missing from programs in other states that have adapted its methods.
What does TEACCH look like?
While TEACCH can help persons of all ages, it is generally used with children in school settings or home-based programs. Most schools use TEACCH primarily in self-contained autism classrooms.
The intervention begins with an assessment of emerging skills. Work then focuses on enhancing them. This involves creation of an individualized lesson plan in place of a standard school curriculum. The plan creates a highly structured environment to help the individual map out activities.
Teachers and aides use visual supports to organize the physical and social environment. The aim is to help the student more easily predict and understand daily activities and respond in appropriate ways. Visual supports likewise help the student approach specific tasks in a step by step manner.
Whether used in a classroom or primarily at home, TEACCH programs work best when parents and professionals work together as co-therapists to extend lessons and techniques seamlessly across all environments.
Who provides TEACCH?
North Carolina has several regional TEACCH centers and many TEACCH-trained psychologists, special education teachers and speech therapists. In addition, many out-of-state instructors come to the University of North Carolina for training. TEACCH is now used across North America and internationally to facilitate learning among children and adults with autism. You can find out more at the TEACCH Autism Program website.
Autism Speaks continues to fund a wealth of research aimed at developing and improving behavioral interventions that enhance education, function and quality of life. You can explore these studies using our Grant Search here.
For more information and resources related to autism, please see our Treatment overview, Video Glossary, FAQs and special sections on Symptoms, Diagnosis, Learn the Signs, Your Child's Rights, Asperger Syndrome and PDD-NOS. We also offer a number of resource-packed tool kits for free download (here and here). They include our 100 Day Kit for families who have a child recently diagnosed with autism. These resources are made possible through the generous support of our families, volunteers and donors.

Fetal Exposure to Maternal Type 1 Diabetes Associated with Renal Dysfunction at Adult AgePosted: Tuesday, November 09, 2010
Reduced functional reserve may reflect a reduced number of nephrons undergoing individual hyperfiltration. If so, offspring of Type 1 diabetic mothers may be predisposed to glomerular and vascular diseases.
In animal studies, hyperglycemia during fetal development reduces nephron numbers. Researchers tested whether this observation translates into renal dysfunction in humans by studying renal functional reserve in adult offspring exposed in utero to maternal Type 1 diabetes.
Nineteen nondiabetic offspring of Type 1 diabetic mothers were compared with 18 offspring of Type 1 diabetic fathers (control subjects). Glomerular filtration rate (51cr-EDTA clearance), effective renal plasma flow (123I-hippurate clearance), mean arterial pressure, and renal vascular resistances were measured at baseline and during amino acid infusion, which mobilizes renal functional reserve.
Offspring of Type 1 diabetic mothers were similar to control subjects for age (median 27, range 18–41, years), sex, BMI (23.1 ± 3.7 kg/m2), and birth weight (3,288 ± 550 vs. 3,440 ± 489 g). During amino acid infusion, glomerular filtration rate and effective renal plasma flow increased less in offspring of Type 1 diabetic mothers than in control subjects: from 103 ± 14 to 111 ± 17 ml/min (8 ± 13%) vs. from 108 ± 17 to 128 ± 23 ml/min (19 ± 7%, P = 0.009) and from 509 ± 58 to 536 ± 80 ml/min (5 ± 9%) vs. from 536 ± 114 to 620 ± 140 ml/min (16 ± 11%, P = 0.0035). Mean arterial pressure and renal vascular resistances declined less than in control subjects: 2 ± 5 vs. −2 ± 3% (P = 0.019) and 3 ± 9 vs. −14 ± 8% (P = 0.001).
Researchers found that fetal exposure to maternal Type 1 diabetes was associated with a reduced renal reserve in offspring of humans at adult age. Results in humans are consistent with what has been observed in rats regarding the impact of moderate hyperglycemia during fetal development on adult kidney dysfunction. They suggest a reduced number of nephrons in offspring of Type 1 diabetic mothers even though the precise quantification was not performed, as noninvasive methods are not currently available in humans.
In conclusion, this study supports that moderate hyperglycemia (or its related metabolic alterations) during fetal development may alter kidney function in human adults. As pregnancy is now common in Type 1 diabetic women, attention should be paid to the renal and vascular status of their offspring during adulthood.

Collaboration with the Asian Development Bank
In March 2010, Michelle DePass, EPA's Assistant Administrator for International and Tribal Affairs, met with Rajat M. Nag, Managing Director General of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) , to sign a new, expanded letter of intent (4pp, 1.04 MB, About PDF Files) to strengthen collaboration between EPA and ADB.
This agreement will support collaborative efforts to improve air quality, safe drinking water, management of toxic substances, environmental governance, and water resource management across Asia, during the time period 2010-2015. The goal of the cooperation is to reinforce Asian countries which are now strengthening their environmental laws, ministries, and compliance mechanisms. Cooperation could include technical assistance, training, and joint project development.
"The U.S. recognizes the importance of Asia in meeting today's global environmental challenges," said DePass. "It is our hope that expanding our partnership with ADB will help focus the technical and financial resources necessary to address those challenges."
EPA has enjoyed five years of successful cooperation with the ADB, beginning in 2005, when the two organizations formalized their collaboration with an initial letter of intent (4pp, 2.11 MB, About PDF Files).
Since 2005, projects have included ADB support of the Methane to Markets Partnership and EPA's work with China's Ministry of Environment on an SO2 cap-and-trade program.
This new letter of intent builds on current work, and also expands cooperation in areas such as environmental governance and climate change.

World Health Day: Combat Drug Resistance
Without effective antibiotics, much of modern medicine would not be possible. The treatment of cancer, the care of premature babies and even the most common surgical procedures would not be possible. Yet as each day passes, we move closer to a post-antibiotic era. The severity of the problem, which has rendered many of the strongest [...]Keep reading »
Short Story Science: Lenina versus the Pneumococcus
April 7th, 2011 | 3
Today is January 28, and Lenina has a smashing headache; she is a Streptococcus pneumoniae researcher. Not that this was the main reason for the headache, but an important meeting was being held today to launch the Pneumococcal Molecular Epidemiology Network's [PMEN] new paper in Science. Oddly enough, her role at the meeting is to [...]Keep reading »
Fighting bacteria with weapons from fungi
April 19th, 2014 | 3
In order to survive, organisms produce small molecules known as 'primary metabolites' which help it to grow, develop and reproduce. Examples include nucleic acid used to make DNA, amino acids to make proteins, and simple sugars. Once the organism is established it will often start to produce 'secondary metabolites'. Secondary metabolites are not vital for [...]Keep reading »

Ancient resistance – ice-age bacteria that could fight off antibiotics
September 22nd, 2011 | 1
Antibiotic resistance is often seen as a modern phenomenon – an ability generated by bacteria in order to defend against the challenges of modern medicine. This is supported by the fact that bacteria from before the era of antibiotics are often more susceptible to their use. Which is why I found it intriguing that recent studies (ref [...]Keep reading »
Genes for antibiotic resistance
September 13th, 2011 | 1
Ever since the discovery and marketing of penicillin in 1928 by Alexander Fleming, bacteria have been developing resistance to antibiotics at an alarming rate. In many cases, resistant bacteria can be found lurking even before the new drug hits the market, making it only a matter of time before it becomes widespread. Bacteria that are [...]Keep reading »
The good and the evil of antibiotics.
Antibiotics are strange little molecules. In low-to-medium concentrations they are used by bacteria to protect their territory and (possibly) to signal to neighbouring bacteria. At higher concentrations they can be used to kill the bacteria that injure us, but at concentrations too high they can also cause serious damage to our own internal bacteria and [...]Keep reading »
Will Antibiotics Be There When You Need Them? Get Smart

Common STD Grows Resistant to Treatment in North America
January 8th, 2013 | 4
The most commonly acquired sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the U.S., chlamydia and gonorrhea, are usually cleared out swiftly and easily with a dose of oral antibiotics. But one of these infections is growing bold and finding ways to evade treatment. More than 321,000 cases of gonorrhea are reported each year in the U.S. alone—and [...]Keep reading »
Growth Factor: How Bacterial Infections Persist through Antibiotics [Video]

Some strains of nasty bacterial infections, such as MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), come loaded with resistance to antibiotics built right into their genes. But certain infections seem to acquire an ability to persist in the face of drugs that should knock them out—without developing the genetic hallmarks of antibiotic resistance. For decades, researchers have thought [...]Keep reading »
Common Antibiotic Not Helpful for Cough and Respiratory Infection

Soil May Help Pathogens Make Us Sick
August 30th, 2012 | 1
Tetracycline—a powerful antibiotic—came from the soil. Researchers isolated the drug, used to treat everything from sexually transmitted diseases to bacterial pneumonia, from the soil-dwelling microbe Septomyces aureofaciens, which produces tetracycline to kill its microbe neighbors. So it comes as no surprise that other soil microbes have evolved ways to resist this antibiotic But a new [...]Keep reading »
Cave Bacteria Finding Suggests Ancient Origins of Antibiotic-Resistant Superbugs

Our pill-popping culture and over-zealous livestock farmers typically take the blame for the widespread resistance of many harmful strains of bacteria to entire classes of antibiotics. And the Food and Drug Administration took a bold move today with a new voluntary plan to help curtail the over-use of antibiotics in agriculture. But the capacity to [...]Keep reading »
Cut the Appendix Surgery–Antibiotics are Effective for Uncomplicated Appendicitis
For something thought to be largely extraneous, the appendix can be a real pain.

Sheriff's department reports "exceedingly large" meth operation in Valley Forge home9:13 am | January 22, 2013
Sheriff's department investigators say a family's concern led to the discovery of one of the largest residential methamphetamine dump sites in the county in recent years.
Carter County Sheriff's Department Lt. Mike Little said the home at 121 Riverbottom Road, less than a quarter-mile from the Valley Forge Free Will Baptist Church and Valley Forge Elementary School, was hiding the remnants of more than 20 one-pot labs and chemicals commonly used in the production of meth.
"There was an exceedingly large amount of meth-related waste in the home," Little said.
He said the meth-making materials were discovered Sunday evening by Deputy Michael Freeman and Sgt. Kenny Cornett, who were checking on the well-being of resident Heather Renee Stevens, 29, at the request of her family.
Little said her family feared that Stevens was being physically abused by her live-in boyfriend, identified as 33-year-old Lance Daniel Nidiffer.
Upon entering the home, the two officers reported a strong chemical smell and bottles of liquid petroleum fuel commonly used in producing methamphetamine.

What happened to the Document > Reduce File Size command that used to be in Acrobat 9?
For that matter, I don't see the PDF Optimizer command either.
What are the methods used in Acrobat X to reduce file size?
I just found that the Reduce File Size command has been moved and hidden under the File > Save As menu. Still haven't figured out where the PDF Optimizer command went or even if it is still available in Acrobat X.
File > Save As > Optimized PDF...
Thanks for your reply. Our posts must have crossed each other about the command being moved to the file menu. Do you know if PDF Optimizer is still available for Acrobat X?
Yes, choose "File > Save As > Optimized PDF...", as opposed to "File > Save As > Reduced Size PDF...".
Thanks! Amazing where "old" commands get moved in new versions. BTW, I could not find this answer in the Adobe X Help.
At Acrobat X on line help -
The topic path is Home / Using Acrobat Pro / Editing PDFs / Optimizing.
In the sub topic "Save using PDF Optimizer" the "Open the PDF Optimizer" provides the discussion.
At the LiveDocs on line Help a PDF is available (link in upper right of web page).
While the PDF is not updated with the frequency of the LiveDoc Help content it can be useful to have.
Once downloaded, embed an index to facilitate search. This provides a handy "quick look up reference" file that is immediately available.
Be well...
Hello Sir,
I am working on online graphics and acrobat is really a great tool to minimize my tasks.. but I am having a problem with reducing the file size of a pdf. I want to reduce the file but not affecting its quality... I am actually using Adobe Acrobat X Pro and I cannot find the solution on this problem? can you please advice? Ive
used Acrobat 9 before and it seemed to be better than this version - I was able to reduce the size of a pdf without affecting the quality of an artwork/image etc.
Thanks a lot and hoping to hear from you so soon!
Use the File > Save As command.
I must be doing something wrong. When I follow the instructions for reducing a pdf file, it actually comes out bigger that when I started. Are there additional settings I need to adjust to reduce the file? My goal is to prepare files so that I can e-mail them and post to Internet databases.
Thank you!!! I have been looking for the reduce size option for a
I have read thru all the posts on how to reduce the size of a PDF file, yet when I follow the suggested steps I do not see the options indicated in some of the posts. For example (using Adobe Reader- X, version 10.0.1) when I open a 15.4 mb pdf file and select the Save As option, the two choices are Save as a pdf file or save as a text file. I need to reduce this file size in order to upload to a family ancestry application
Help, please
You have to have Acrobat, and some of the options even require Acrobat Pro. The type of thing you have requested is not available in the free Reader, a different product.
I have acrobat X pro. I created an editable form for in house use... like an invoice or estimate. After hours of searching I finally figured out how to flatten the document into a file that can be emailed as NON EDITABLE.(of course this plugin was not included with the original download) but nonetheless, I was happy.
Well today I tried emailing one of these files and noticed the file size was HUGE.24 Mb!!!
I've tried saving as reduced file size. I does not change. I've tried optimizing. Notta. PLEASE HELP!
don't get me wrong... I love adobe products... but this software seems very cumbersome in performing simple tasks. I've spent hours hunting for answers.
Saving as a low res, email friendly file should be almost automatic.......PDF 101. Is there something I'm missing? If so, why the HUNT?
Did you create the form in Acrobat or LiveCycle Designer?
Acrobat X Pro
I originall posted a question about the file size of these PDF's Acrobat X produces. I looked for a couple of days and cannot figure out how to make these files smaller. Not to bash the software but it almost useless to have files this large when you are emailing PDF's.
I guess I'm having a hard time understanding why the files are so big for my simple little invoice. That's all it is. I produce large format high res graphics in PDF's and they are not this big. ( 24 MB )
I realize this comparison is like apples and oranges but MS Word also has a save as PDF option produces nice and tidy lightweight PDF's that can be emailed. This file should be no more that 100kb, but it comes out of Acrobat @ 24 MB.????
So if you are flattening the document and locking the form fields, it should be stripping any excess baggage. Is it the fonts embedded? If it is, then can the text be outlined so that fonts are not necessary?
Adobe has been around way too long not have thought of this, so i know it's probably something I'm missing, but it amazes there's no obvious fix or answers...except.... there is a "save as reduced size" option which sounds great, but it doesn't work! The file comes out the same size??(&^&*(#%$^&!/ Someone had previously stated that it produced a file even larger than it's original size.
Can some please help! Much appreciated.
It's really hard to give specific help without seeing the file in question. I'd be happy to take a look if you can post it somewhere or are free to email it to me at: acroscript at gmail dot com
OK. I have it narrowed down. It's definately fonts.I went to PDF optimizer. Then to audit space usage. It showws 99% of the file as FONTS. So I went back to the document and started stripping fields, fonts, Everthing....as a process of elimination. After stripping everything from the fille, the space usage still shows 99% fonts @ 24 MB.
the only font embedded was arial. So Im guessing it's loading all of my system fonts with the file. Does this help?
Yes, that helps a bit. When you set up the form fields did you use any fonts that are not in the basic list (Courier, Times, Helvetica, Symbol, Adobe Pi)? If so, how many different ones? After you removed things, did you perform a Save As, as opposed to just a Save?
Here's how I would proceed if I were in this situation. Go back and recreate a brand new PDF from you source document. What it its size?
Now add a single field and do a Save As. What is its size now?
If you used just basic fonts, try copying some fields from the old form to the new and do a Save As. What is the size now and how much is due to fonts?
I had created a new document before you sent that last reply and it worked. But it makes no sense. This software is kind of clunky. It behaves like an open source.
So I went on a mission to determine how the files get so heavy, even with minimal fonts. I only had two fonts embeded and the file size was 25 MB. This is the part that didn't make sense. How is this possible? Starting all over may have fixed the problem, but didn't explain why it was a problem, thus could happen again.
So after recreating the document, the file size was nice and light.... 300 kb or so. So I started styling my form again, trying different fonts and such. And of course the file size began in increase again. Up to 1 M... then 1.7 M
So in an effort to figure out why such dramatic increases, I started stripping fonts by editing fields and changing the fonts to arial. It did not effect the file size at all. The file remained 1.7M.
So it seems like the more you mess with it, the more data it retains....SOMEWHERE. So every time I change a font, it adds to the file size. I just changed all of the fonts to Courrier. The first one on the list. Now the file size is 1.9 M.
Interesting.... courrier is not in the list of embedded fonts.
1) The more I play with the form, the bigger it gets, no matter what I delete or change.
2) What is the difference between save and save as, if you are editing in the native file???
3) When flattening fields and comments, shouldn't it reduce the file size?
4) Is there a function to convert text to outlines, that way we are not dealing with fonts at all? This is adobe software right?
5) Where can we edit or view the fonts contained in a native document, besides file, save as, optimized PDF?
6) Is there a place where the document collects data that can be deleted?
I sorry, but I'm really having a hard time with understanding why this software is doing what it doing. Why does the file size keep growing and growing.
Something is seriously messed up with Acrobat. I have Acrobat X Pro. I had an xps file that I wanted to convert to pdf. It was 53 pages with some text and a lot of white space. The xps file was 471 KB. When I printed it to pdf, it was 30 MB! After trying both file-reduce size and optimizing the file size, it either increased to 37MB or did not decrease a single KB. I finally went to a web site that converts between xps and pdf. The pdf file it created was 1.1 MB. Visually it looks fine, the same as the xps file.
How can there be that much bloat in printing the pdf from the xps file, and how can the reduce file/optimize file not remove the bloat?
I have Adobe Reader X and there's not an option to save as an "optimized pdf" so I still do not know how to downsize a pdf file... am I just out of luck?
Reader can not do any changes to the PDF as you are asking for. So yes, you are out of luck.
I just tried this and it doesn't help. I have the same problem, a big pdf file (39 pages) that I need to send by email. I also remember Acrobat 9 had a function "Reduce File Size" where it actually reduced the size of the file, I used it hundres of times and from 5 or 20 MB files, it gave me 200Kb files, or so, that were perfect to attach to an email. But now there is no such function and saving it as an optimized pdf doesn't help at all. I have a 120 MB file and the "optimized pdf" weights exactly the same. There is one "Reduce File Size" option burried in the tools, where the action wizard is. You actually have to create a new action, selecting the function but I waited for quite a bit and the process bar didn't moved at all. Acrobat just shut down and restarted
Have been having this same problem trying to reduce file size . . . and with a little help from a colleague, have now realized what I was doing un-right.
In order to access the FILE / SAVE AS / REDUCED FILE SIZE command string, you must enter the document through the front door, i.e., by using the ADOBE icon on your desktop and actually entering Adobe Pro X (10) rather than entering via your drive mapped entrance to the document - which may well show you the document via the Adobe viewer. Hence, reduced functionality.
See if that works for you.
Solved my problem and may help you...
on Mac with Adobe 9 Pro I create lots of documents with backgrounds and index. Raw data file 2.5Mb Finished pdf 12 Mb. On Win2008r2 Raw data 2.5Mb finished file 116Mb !! WHAT !
After investigation on Win2008r2 follow exactly same proceedure of adding background and index and Save PDF file at 116Mb (a 4000 page invoice file). Next do Save As - Reduce File Size and from dropdown box select Adobe 9 and later compatibility. The Win2008R2 server with 32Gb mem then grinds away for about 10 minutes and saves a new PDF of 5Mb, even less than the Mac although I never reduced the size on a Mac. The new PDF is then auto burst and e-mailed out as previously done on Mac. The extra time involved is a pain for me but I cannot find a way around the above process. Does not matter how I open document to process in Adobe X.
For those trying to find this option in Acrobat XI it's under File > Save as Other. Way to go, Adobe, for once again taking a great, efficient tool and making it much harder to use. Also makes files twice as big as the old Reduce File Size option in Acrobat 9. Useless.
You can save the file as JPEG2000 (File -> SaveAs -> Image -> JPEG2000. And you can play aroung with resolution and compression as other people suggested earlier. Each page will be saved as a different file. Then create a new PDF from these files (File -> Create -> Combine Files into a Single PDF ). In Acrobat 9 I saw 10-20 times better compression than Reduce File. I did not not have a change to test that extensively in Acrobat 10, but simple test still resulted in a better compression.
I don't see this in any of the answers but the only way I have been able to reduce the size of the pdf is to do the following:
I used the following options: Deskew: automatic, Background Removal: Low; Edge Shadow Removal: Cautious; Despeckle: Low; Descreen: Automatic; Halo: on
I just tried a 5.87 mb pdf and got it down to 387 kb. I did not have images in the document.
For those who were having a problem with the fonts making the file size huge, I made a discovery.
If you go to Save As Optimized PDF, it will pull up a PDF Optimizer box. Go to the fonts section.
My document was embedding duplicate fonts every time I made an update.
I unembedded all the duplicate fonts and saved. It reduced the file size from 10.8 MB to 2.5 MB
That is a good reason to try Save As rather than Save. Might solve the problem.
Hi! I have gone through and tried all these options, but when I try to save as a reduced file size or save as optimized PDF's, I get the following message: This document restricts some Acrobat features to allow for extended features in Adobe Reader. To create a copy of the document that is not restricted (and has no extended features in Adobe Reader), click Save a Copy. So, it sounds like I just can't do both...if I want people to be able to enter text in the form in reader, I can not save the file to a reduced size. Is this correct? Or is there another way? When I try saving a copy and then reducing that file (which is already an extra step) it does reduce the size but barely.
if I want people to be able to enter text in the form in reader, I can not save the file to a reduced size. Is this correct?
That is correct.
Thanks Bernd. It would be great to have that option in the future, if possible.
This is not possible.
Why can't you create an unrestricted copy make the necessary reductions then add the restrictions again to the corrected copy.
I can, it just doesn't reduce the file size much at all.
Are you checking in Optimizer for Duplicate Font styles?
I have seen case where ther were duplicate of various font styles up to 10 times.
Each document needs only one copy and one copy only of each Font style.

This is about BULLYING, NAME-CALLING and HARASSMENT. It is not about that one thread, either, I can point out a hundred more of these examples. I expect more of all of you. I am absolutely disgusted at this sort of behavior. You never see professionals doing this kind of thing.

Youre right of course. I think it was the stark black and white stock that set it apart in my mind from the later, slightly more knowing colour movies. Its really raw. The graveyard at the start? Wow. I file Night with the really good Twilight Zones and Hitchocks Half Hours in my braaaaiiinnns

......... I'm now convinced that watching a good zombie movie would be 100 times more productive than continuing this thread.
And I haven't watched ANY of those yet! MY LIFE IS BARREN! D:
I liked the 28 Days later one myself.
Also Walking Dead is supposed to start up pretty soon, Oct 14 (but sucks if you have Dish network cuz you won't see it).
Australian Thrust faults... imagine that...

Here's a bit of helpful advice:
You see the computer you're typing on?
Walk away from it, go outside, and do something else.
Oh, if you think this is me being "mean" - this is me being slightly annoyed. If I wanted to actually hurt you, you'd already have a razor blade buried deep in your neck. And I wouldn't even have to travel.

George Romero has been on an unfortunate downward slope since The Dark Half (which did have some fun moments). Land of the Dead was entertaining and I liked some of the concepts, but to put it up against even Day of the Dead was difficult. It's amazing what he did was such small budget in the 60s and 70s, but these days all of his low-budget offerings (Diary and Survival of the Dead) are filled to the brim with awful CGI and miserable actors. I love his classic moves (and not just the zombie ones...Martin and The Crazies are two of my favorite movies ever), but I desperately wish he would retire from movies.
If you guys have not seen movies by Lucio Fulci, I highly recommend them.
The Beyond, Gates Of Hell (aka City of the Living dead), House by the Cemetary, and Zombi 2 are simply some of the best horror movies of the early 80s. There is a cheese factor, definitely. And they are dubbed (because they are Italian...and all Italian horror from that time period was dubbed), but if you can watch them with an open mind you realize just how incredibly brutal and disturbing they are. Some of the goriest, nastiest moments from horror history come from those movies (and not in the "oh...this is just excessive toture porn nonsense like today's flicks).
This topic is now about zombies. Deal.
That's my contribution to pop psychology. I have been hanging around on anti-creationism mailing lists for years, so I have long experience with pseudoscience nuts. In fact, I probably deserve the title of autodidactical doctor of psychology. :-)
As for the complaints about the direction this thread took, I can see where Izi is coming from, but I must respectfully disagree. I would rather err on the side of free speech. Otherwise the whole board becomes like WetCanvas, where no one can speak his mind, not even in a polite manner. It eventually drove me away from there.
My sketchbook thread:
The OP is obviously delusional and should look up psychiatric help. You can't argue with someone who's out of touch with reality. He's just going to retreat further into his delusions, and I'm not sure if I think mocking him for it is making the situation better.

Because someone is spouting nonsense? What are we supposed to do? Thank him for accosting our minds with garbage and give him some sort of validation? Why is it worthy of respect?Originally Posted by Naomi
That was a rhetorical question. I know why you think someone making up stuff worthy of respect. And I'm glad this isn't the type of place where pseudoscience is favored. I'm glad these aren't your forums.

My sketchbook thread:
Zombies? Same as fairies. They suck weak minds because those are the only ones who believe in them. Good for scaring children and schizophrenics. Sort of like god. Can't be proven either way on the issues. I think tetrodotoxin is some gnarly stuff.
Prophecy? That's time travel. A good place to start understanding why things seem to go bump in the night is in Dr. Rick Strassman's work, the Spirit Molecule. I think he has some good theories (and some fluff) about NDE's. I think it also applies to dreams. Schizophrenia has recently been linked to an assymetrical hypothalamus. Sexual deviation has been linked to lack of pliability in what is essentially the arachnoid mater, or arachnoid membrane. That's like PVC with insufficient toluene or too much MEK.

Not being a real doctor got you down? Why not try this jargon generator, its fantastic for randomly assembling scientific-sounding phrases for impressing the credulous:

This guy is reminding me of another crazy artist I was unfortunate enough to come across on the internet, can't remember his name though but I think that's for the best.
My sketchbook thread:
Have you noticed crazy people don't mind if you call them crazy? Normal people, they'd object, and go and find sources to back their argument, or if that is impossible concede they cant make a strong case.
Nutters just ignore your questions and keep on firing words at you hoping some of it will make sense to you even if its just a whole casserole of nonsense inside their minds.
Listening to people talking about their delusions on Youtube, it sounds like being on acid. Thinking they're trees or that a chorus of voices are comnmenting on their every act, or that their loved ones are spies.. sounds exactly like a bad trip I had at a punk gig one time. I was sure that Russian chick with the spliff wasn't really Russian, and told her so a lot. The idea of being on acid without knowing it is so terrifying... jeez Louise.

Sounds like something from DTABORT's.
Skinny little monkey boys should learn to read better before they disparage their zookeepers that hold the tazer. Maybe the skinny little monkey boy should join some monkey priest's skinny little monkey boy choir.

That's understandable. The thread was hijacked by zombies, only of the simian variety. Why shouldn't we discuss their habits? (Sort of like elephants that stick their trunks up another elephant's bung hole for a bite of lunch... "Ummm... you gonna eat that?" Yeah. That's how elephants do...) The m'caca type, where the males play with the genitals of their inbred young boys. Fortunately they succumb to plasmodium knowles, so are on the endangered species list... only who cares? Macaca fascicularis are considered to be good singers... sort of.Yes....
This topic is now about zombies. Deal.

My sketchbook thread:
What you have to remember Blogs, is that he's totally insane. You'll never get any sense out him till he takes his medicines.
We had a schizophrenic guy living in the house for a while, and until he stopped taking his meds he was an OK guy. Quiet, worked regular hours. After he stop popping his pills and refused to take them any more, and threatened to murder the landlord and the police took him away he was a lot like the Doc here. Delusions radically at odds with reality, confused scrambled thoughts, threats of violence and retribution by powerful unseen agencies, its all exactly the same. Played Heavy Fuel by Dire Straights 7 times in themiddle of the night (what a tune that is tho!) Dim the lights, and if you dare, join me in The Twilight Zone..
(I wrote this while he was still living with us but you get the drift)
The house where i live is kind of like the house in Hey Arnold. Its really cheap and there's all sorts of poor but lovely immigrant types living here, like multiple Chinese in one room, an old rasta claus, some Nigerians, some romanian lads, etc etc. I like it a lot. One of the people a is 40-something french algerian with some brilliant kind of brain damage. He talks constantly and often angrily to people who arn't there, refers to himself in the third person, has a fascination with mirrors, (more on that in a sec) and claims to have done 12 years in a Spanish prison after being framed up for a knife robbery he didn't commit. Massive scars on his face. Cool right? Convinced that if he sends enough emails to Barack Obama he will have his family's stolen fortune returned to him he once sent a load of emails full of crazy threats and Islamic names to the FBI and the CIA from my computer. I expect a drone strike is imminent. The other day he filled up the Henry hoover with water and left it outside till someone stole it and then accused us of framing him for it. The same day he also filled up all these bottles and threw them on the roof. Isn't he great!?
He absolutely loves a mirror, but they must never face him. When he comes home from work (he works in Jamie Olivers italian in Cambridge centre) he spends his time fixing up his room, noisily moving items about until all his junk is looking perfect. But his absolute favourite activity is to sellotape all the shiny mirror surfaces he can to his windows. He explained to me this is a lot like CCTV and he can make sure no one is invading the property or making a nuisance of themselves. In the middle of the image is a bean can lid. These mirrors periodically fall off and smash and he puts the glass in the toilet.
Here is one of thecryptic messages Fares sent from my email to the US Department of Justice, the FBI, the CIA and many others. he cant write so good so instructed me to write DRINK GRANDMOM ZERRKA and 40 AVENUE CARNO EL BEER on them, just to clear up any confusion.
I looked up avenue carnot in el bier, algiers, but the building he insisted belonged to him was now a bank.
This one was sent to the european court of human rights, without any explanation. when I asked what he hoped would happen, he assured me with a just you wait grin that they would soon return to him the vast wealth the swiss government was holding for him. i showed him that the swiss banks would run a check for any unclaimed accounts for 60euros and offered to stump the money if he could provide his fathers passport and death certificate but he said they were lost in the mists of time. Just got to keep sending these emails, he says.
I wrote to the universities he insisted his father had worked at, but the records departments could find no mention of him. It seemed like a good lead but it went nowhere in the end.

What better time to wash all your bottles in the shower
Apparently it is "urgent."
As I was sending a large load of work to a client, the internet goes off: crazy Frenchy has kicked the plug apart. When I yell at him he explains it is because I have had 10 or 20 people in my room and their incessant jumping out of the window is upsetting the neighbours...
After he started getting really scary with the shouting and the knives, the police told us to keep a diary of stuff that happened.
apparently stopped taking meds
stands in the kitchen having animated conversations with people who arnt there
sometimes waves the knife he is using to cut cheese on a chopping board around whilst shouting
persistently leaves his junk in the bathroom, no matter how many times he is asked to not do so
throws rubbish out of his bedroom window onto the drive
leaves the front door and windows all wide open all day and night. gets very angry if they are shut and opens them again.
removes the bathroom mirror and turns it tothe wall, often dropping and breaking it, does not like to see his reflection in any surface
glues shiny objects like cds and mirrors to his windows. the mirrors often fall off and smash. puts the glass in the toilet.
bangs on my door while im sleeping., shouts at me to keep the music down.
steals shopping trollies and bike-locks them outside the house
fills up 35 2 litre water bottles and throws them onto the roof of the house and the neighbouring house.
the neighbour complains.
leaves hoover on the street where it is stolen, denies it, accuses other tenants
throws all the bug powder and cleaning stuff in the bin
loudly argues with imaginary people in the night,
says he spent 12 years in a spanish prison for an armed robbery he did not commit. says the police framed him,.
Konnie Gao leaves, says him running around naked terrifies her.
all the mail keeps being opened and thrown in the bin
washes toaster in sink whilst plugged in. doesnt believe me when i say this is very dangerous
washes hands with bleach, again does not believe me or the warning labels that this is dangerous. to be fair he seems unharmed.
silent calls the police
keeps getting me to search the internet for informaiton about his father. he claims he was a millionaire, was murderd by conspirators, taught at oxford and cambridge.
inquiries to the universities turn up nothing.
sends incomprehesnsible emails from my computer to the US and UK governments
loses job, spends all his time in his room
loudly argues with imaginary people in the night
places LED bike lights along the top of his bedroom door, says they are cameras watching for intruders
stopped paying rent or helping with bills
steals shopping trollies and bike-locks them outside the house
silent calls the police again they trace the call and show up. they seem convinced he is normal.
Usually he calls the police and runs away, or says a crazy person is bothering him.
obsessively cleans by throwing buckets of water on the floor, carpets, and on the front window of the house. which is open.
5am rips the internet router from the wall and damages the plug. says it is because a neighbor who he refuses to name has seen many people in my room, who have been jumping from the window.
4am, loudly washes many of his belongings in the shower, says it is urgent.
4am removes everything from his room, then puts it all back, says it is urgent
Shouted he was never going to leave, would stab us and the land lord if anyone tried to remove him.

I didn't think it was possible to be called an artist when you have nothing to say. It's like being a writer who publishes individual words as books and expects to be praised for it.

I have several "favorite" customers. No, I don't normally play favorites, but when a customer tells me that they just want my cookies and I can make whatever I want to make, they go on my favorite list :-) I have so much fun with "play" cookies, so when one of my favorites contacted me and said "it's me, Cookie Monster, I just want your cookies", I just KNEW what I had to make! And I had SO much fun with them! I didn't tell her what I was going to make, so it was a complete surprise.
I started by making a Cookie Monster cookie cutter. There are a few available, but they aren't as detailed as I would like or as large. You can get one like mine here in my Etsy shop.
I outlined the design
and flooded in the details
Then I made a cookie cookie cutter with a nice size bite out of the cookie
and outlined
I used the wet on wet technique to create the chocolate chips while the rest of the cookie icing was still wet.
and you know if you're going to eat some yummy cookies, you need some milk to go along with them
and an outline
While the white icing was still wet, I added a red heart candy to each milk carton and then after the white was all dry, I wrote MILK on each carton
Bagged and tagged
Lots of Cookie Monster cookies
and then I bought Abigail a milk and cookie shirt because you know, I do that.
and Abigail wore the milk & cookies outfit to her first dentist appointment.
Thank you Cookie Monster for the fun order!

Gibson Twist
(Creator -
The Whiskey Devils; Cheap Shots; Pictures of You
Gibson Twist is a fictional entity.
Gibson Twist was born in the mid-1970s, a shell of his former self. His earliest memory is of his great-grandmothers funeral, and it was largely downhill from there. He wrote and drew his first comic at the age of 5, which was critically not well-received. After a series of messy divorces, he turned eight and joined the military, serving his country with the proud men and women of GI Joe.
At the age of 16, Gibson produced his first small press comics with a group of friends who taught him how little he knew about writing and art. He continued to write and draw poorly-conceived works until age 19 when he traded comics for alcohol and glaucoma medication, and began writing poorly-conceived prose. During the next decade he worked sporadically as a freelance writer while penning his first novel, Still Life, as well as a dozen drafts of the novel Our Time in Eden and a number of short stories.
Gibson has held a variety of jobs, including but not limited to disc jockey, magazine editor, actor, bouncer, pizza cook, records clerk, convenience store slacker, warehouse monkey, washer of dishes and most notably, guy at record store who bosses people around. He is wildly inspired by music and prefers the intimacy of a small club.
An aficionado of getting the hell out of here, Gibson has traveled extensively throughout North America and held residence in 10 cities in two countries, at more than 50 different addresses. He has gone from coast to coast to coast to coast to coast, yet has never driven a car.
A self-proclaimed Alcoholist, Gibson seeks quality over quantity and encourages people to drink with caution and to play safe. He likes a good scotch, avoids red wine, will never to say no to vodka, will always say no to gin, and knows that the worm at the bottom of mezcal does not induce hallucinations.
In 2005, Gibson was drawn back to comics after being featured in that years 24 Hour Comics Day Highlights anthology. During that event, he met future Our Time in Eden collaborator Ben Steeves who introduced him to webcomics. After a year of mocking the online comics world, Gibson launched his first webcomic, The Whiskey Devils, a showcase of his other 24 Hour Comics. He followed this up with his first webcomic strip, Cheap Shots, and in 2007 launched Pictures of You, an homage to his drinking buddies and all the stupid things they did.
Though he is a proud Canadian, Gibson is currently living in St Louis, MO with his wife who, all shitting around aside, is his favourite person in the world and makes him happier than a total bastard like him has a right to be. They were married in a comic book shop and they both think that was pretty cool.
There are also cats who want to be fed right now.
