Size limits on mwiki for uploaded files are too small
The documentation team is starting to publish the 4.1 getting started
guide and have run into a problem. The 2MB upload limit is far to small
for the ODT and the PDF file for the complete Guide.
The ODT file is 7.1 MB, and the Writer one will most likely be
bigger.The smallest I have been able to get the converted PDF is 31MB.
I know that we have some ODT files already on the mwike that are 11MB.
What would be the best way to get the limit raised so that the ODT can
be uploaded?
Regards
Keith

We recently updated the httpd configuration on this server. If this undid the fix then we’ll need to think the fix through together.

Dave,
Because we use the default PDFA-1 to create the PDF files from
OpenOffice, it is not unusual to have chapter files over 5MB. The real
problem comes in when we create the PDF for the complete book. I do have
PDF compression software to compress them.Currently the full book for
the Getting Started Guide is 38MB. I was able to compress that down to
12.7MB.
Considering that the other guides full book files may be larger, at this
point I believe a 20MB limit is a good compromise. How does this sound
to you?
Regards
Keith

Peter.
It seems that the size limit for uploaded files on the mwiki has been
reset to 2MB again. Even using the PDF compression software I have many
are still over that, and it is slowing down the process of getting
Chapter files for the Writer Guide published to the miki.
Could you please set that limit back to the 50MB as you did before.
Regards
Keith.

What I have done for the PDF is to delete the TOC from the ODT and
create the PDF\A-1a and export the bookmarks as active links. It is
still a bit larger than I would like, but it does embed the fonts as
well give the user usable TOC.

You are right regarding transparency... I didn't think of that.
But then we should at least embed the used font(s).

The problem with PDF/A-1A is that it does not allow transparencies and
converts them to a graphic. For the Getting Started Guide, this results
in a 3 page ToC graphic, as well as changes to many of the graphics
used. If we are going to loose control anyway, I would rather do it and
gain smaller file size right now.
However, this brings up the question is it time to explore other means
of creating the PDF than what we have today? Have we ever looked at PDFBox?

While not using PDF-1A may reduce the size because fonts etc. are not
embedded in the PDF we lose the control over the appearance of the PDF
on the user side.
Reducing the quality of the graphics might work, but in the end I think
we still need to increase the file size of the allowed uploads...

Hi Dave;
The error message was This file is bigger than the server is configured
to allow.
I found a way to reduce the size of the PDF by not using PDF-1A. Thank
you for looking at this.
