I have been working on a form in Adobe Livecycle ES3.
I started with a file that was approx. 1 MB in size.
I realized that every time I saved the file it got larger by approx. 1-2 MB.
This happens even if I just save the file as a new name without doing any editing.
I ended up with a 45 MB file size and I really did not change that much to the form design.
I am new to this program, and cannot find anything online to explain this behavior.
I am thinking that the program is saving some kind of history buffer?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit to Answer Questions asked below:
1) The form is stored locally
2) The only option is to save as a PDF. The form is based off of a PDF imported document.
3) Can I change to XDP when it is imported background artwork?
4) The XML does not appear to be doubling up info.
I found an article yesterday that talks about the file size growing each time you save it with Livecycle. The adobe guy seemed to say that it was life and that there was nothing you could do about it. Seems a little weird to me. I don't know if I have really given you anything new here. I am very frustrated with it.
Thanks

To start off, I need to ask you if your form is stored locally on your machine or are you editing a copy of the form saved on the LiveCycle server itself ?
If your form resides on the server, download a copy of the form on your machine and try your tests on it to see if the file size increases every time you save it on your machine. Do let me know how your tests go in this scenario.
If you are working on a form design on your machine, are you saving your form as a PDF or an XDP ?
If you are saving your form as a PDF, save it as an XDP.
If you are saving your form as an XDP, open it up in either the XML editor in LiveCycle designer or just use a text editor to view its contents.
I have seen issues in the past where (and its a bug btw) LiveCycle Designer repeats the same design time XML tags mulin the form. If this is the case in your form, you can simply do a find and replace to remove them.
Hope this helps. Please let me know how your tests go and if you have any more questions about LiveCycle.
Thanks,

I have seen this issue quite often, in fact today I had a file which jumped from 1.5mb to 188mb.
Having gone through the Adobe site it appears that there is no definite reason for it, but it appears to happen more when you embed fragments into the form or are using a lot of tables.
Anyway the quickest fix is to go into the XML view and search for 'aped' This will usually find a line with something like:
Simply do a find/replace on the full line (leave the replace with blank).
Do this for:
Once complete go back into design view and save it. You should see the file size decrease.
I experienced the same issue. I found a way around it, but you need to have a copy of the original file.
1. From the bloated file, copy the XML from the XML Source window in LiveCycle Designer.
2. Open the original PDF in LiveCycle Designer.
3. Replace the XML in the XML Source window with the XML on the clipboard.
4. Save.

I am using the Google Drive iframe/embed feature to display .pdf menus for a brewery client. They update the tap-list often so it is/was an easy way to keep it up-to-date. However, semi-recently something changed within Drive. Whenever I upload an updated .pdf, rather than just updating and it is visible, it changes share settings, and the embed link is changed. Definitely not the biggest issue but having to re-embed the file a few times a weeks is getting tedious.
Any one have any clue what to do about this? hoping there is a Drive setting or soemthing simple I'm missing.
Thank you!
Whenever I upload an updated .pdf to Google Drive, rather than just updating, becoming just a revision of the old file, and saying visible, it changes share settings, and the embed link is new thus breaing iframes.
I'm trying to create a powerpoint viewer on my worpress page that shows a ppt file. The problem is that I do not want to be able to download (i want read only), but I can not disable the Microsoft Office online options "download a copy" and "print pdf".
[embeddoc url="https://ceysformacion.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/CURSO-AMENAZA-DE-BOMBA.ppt" width="90%" height="90%" download="none" viewer="microsoft"]
I have also tried with css (display: none) on some classes, but without effect.
Any advice?
I am not entirely sure about the possibility of disabling the MS online option for download so what I can see as a work around are:
either change the way you render the ppt and do something like slide share or
add password/security protected on the file that can be downloaded.. well this is under the assumption that your purpose is to manage access on copies of specific files.
I also saw this thread, which may support my initial point that preventing download is still not available. But again, I am not entirely sure how accurate this info is. Hope it helps.

I am thinking about opening a PDF file with some editable fields in the browser , by which i can modify the PDF file / fill information etc and then save that PDF FORM
Please guide me in a right direction ?
I think in your case Rad PDF can work. It is a PDF Viewer and Editor for ASP.NET by which you can open the PDF with editable fields in browser and can even modify the PDF and save it.
Check the link:- https://www.radpdf.com/demo/easy-integration/
and another one is below:-

Hope it will work in your case.
Thanks
You cannot. Simple.
PDFs are edited by the native app, in your case may be Chrome, Safari and Internet Explorer. You do not have control on anything that happens when the user edits the PDF in a native app context.
Pdf documents come in many flavors (standards). One of them (FDF) matches your usecase very closely. This particular standard allows you to edit a pdf form, on completion (or some other event) it would send the data back to a server, collect a response, and modify the pdf with the incoming data.
Keep in mind though that this standard is not often used. There may be a good reason for that (not a lot of libraries support it).
i have the next problem. I don't have Adobe Reader in my local machine and i have some Webform that show pdf files in fact i can't see this pdf files for it i need to find some way to open this files using the Adobe Reader from the server. Is that posssible? Somebody could show me how do this? Thanks
It isn't possible to use Adobe Reader to display a PDF to another machine through a web page. If this is just for local testing, try using Chrome or Firefox if you can. These have their own PDF readers separate from Adobe.
If you are trying to actually display the content as a non-PDF format, you may want to look into something that will parse the file into HTML. Mozilla's "pdf.js" is a good example, and might be of use to you. However, I don't think this is necessary. Nearly all users can view PDF files.
Have a look at PDF Js which can render a PDF in a web viewer.
I created an application with Flex and it open large PDF file, so when show PDF file it is too slow. Anybody, who know a solution which open PDF in background with HTMLLoader?
Thanks for read this question and reply.
You can not run multiple-Threads/background-process in action script, a way around is pseudo-threading, but wont work in every situation,
For you problem i think you should manage in wrapper(HTML,JSP,ASPX) using multiple SWF, mean separate SWF to load PDF
Hopes that helps
