Best practices for uploading assets in Pergamon Document Editor

Optimize Asset File Size for Efficient Processing

To maintain optimal performance when uploading assets to Pergamon, ensure each asset file is as lightweight as possible while retaining its required quality. Reducing file sizes improves upload speed, minimizes the risk of upload errors, and enhances the system's ability to process assets effectively. 

Recommendations

• Disable ICC Profiles in Adobe Illustrator: When saving .ai files, disable ICC profiles. This can substantially reduce the file size without compromising compatibility in Pergamon.
• Delete Unused Presets in Adobe Illustrator: Remove unused presets from the Illustrator file, including swatches, symbols, brushes, and graphical styles. This helps reduce file size and streamlines the asset.
• Clean Up Vectors in Adobe Illustrator: Clean up the vectors in the Illustrator file by deleting unnecessary items. This can be done through the dialog menu under Object > Path > Clean Up.
• Compress Images: Use reliable compression tools to reduce the file size of PNG, JPEG, or other image formats while preserving acceptable visual quality.

Implications of Large Asset Files

Uploading larger-than-necessary asset files can lead to:

• Longer upload times.
• Delays in generating WYSIWYG previews in the editor.
• Slower PDF export processes.
• Increased likelihood of upload errors or data loss.

By following these practices, you can expect faster asset uploads, improved document processing, and a smoother workflow in Pergamon.
