Drop shadows on text do not behave in the same way to inner shadows on objects

I have piece of text with a drop shadow on top of a box which has an inner shadow. In both cases, the shadows are CMYK black, with 100% opacity, applied using the Multiply method.
When designing, things appear correctly (note background is CMYK magenta, but will change once this issue is resolved):
When outputting in the Press format, with everything left as defaults, then two issues are seen, firstly is the Yucky Box Problem, the second is the drop shadow has lost it's colour, and looks as it does if I choose Normal for the shadow type. Note the PDF viewer is Apple Preview in Lion:
If I embed the CMYK colour profile I'm using (Coated FOGRA39), then the YBP goes away, but the colour of the shadow is still wrong:
Finally, if I force the transparency to be flattened, it appears correctly but with a thin white line (note profiles are not being embedded in this case):
Case 1
Case 2
Case 3
Case 4
What I would like to know is how to ensure the output is as it should be in the final case, but without the white line, i.e. without flattening. It's worth noting that if the text is located in the main, white, area of the page, then it works correctly in all cases (except the Yucky Box Problem situation which is easily resolved). Thanks in advance!

That seems to have resolved the problem. Interestingly, the 'Yucky Box Problem' doesnt seem to occur regardless of whether I'm importing the profile or not, I guess Adobe Reader is doing it's own stuff with the colour space which Preview isn't. Thanks again for your help!

  • XK05 and XK06 not checking auth the same way

    Hi all,
    I've discovered something a bit funky with XK05 and XK06. I'm splitting central block / delete access of vendors from company code / purchasing org block / delete access. One group of users, however, will have central access AND their company code and purchasing org. Here's I've got the roles defined.
    Role #1
    F_LFA1_GEN    activity 03, 05, 06
    F_LFA1_BUK    activity 03, company code *
    M_LFM1_EKO   activity 03, purch org *
    Role #2
    F_LFA1_GEN   activity 03
    F_LFA1_BUK   activity 03, 05, 06, company code CC1
    M_LFM1_EKO   activity 03, 05, 06, purch org PO1
    Both roles are assigned to the same user. The system behaves differently in XK05 than it does in XK06. Both are set to check all of the listed auth objects, but here is what happens.
    The user executes XK06 for a company code not included in role #2. The system checks F_LFA1_BUK and fails.
    The user executes XK06 for a purch org not includes in role #2. The system checks M_LFM1_EKO and fails.
    The user executes XK05 for a company code not included in role #2. The system checks F_LFA1_BUK and passes.
    The user executes XK05 for a purch org not included in role #2. The system checks M_LFM1_EKO and passes.
    I would have expected XK05 to behave the way that XK06 did. The only thing I can think of is that the two programs somehow determine what the user is authorized for differently. XK06 seems to be looking at the combination of values defined in each role. XK05, on the other hand, seems to be combining them so for example 03/* and 03/05/06/CC1 in F_LFA1_BUK becomes 03/05/06/*.
    Now I realize that I should try taking F_LFA1_BUK and M_LFM1_EKO out of my central role entirely and see if that works. I'll update with the results of that test.
    Has anyone else seen this behavior?
    Thanks!
    Krysta

    There is the same program and screen which is started by both programs, but a spagetti of IF SY-TCODE = xyz ... validations in it to determine the program behaviour and which transaction to leave to for further processing.
    It seems the difference is that XK06 follows the path of changing the account group for the company code segment of the master record and looks for the first BUKRS and EKORG for which you are marking it for deletion (LFB1 has a field for this).
    XK05 is a central lock and the BUKRS and EKORG are not considered for which the master record is being blocked. So it only checks F_LFA1_APP etc but not the BUKRS and EKORG.
    *------- Berechtigungspruefung: RM-Ebene (EKORG-Berecht.) --------------
      IF KRED-XEKOR NE SPACE.     " <---- same for BUKRS if not relevant for the activity.
         AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'M_LFM1_EKO'   "<--- same for F_FLA1_BUK, no check in = SPACE.
            ID 'EKORG' FIELD LFM1-EKORG
            ID 'ACTVT' FIELD B_ACTVT.
         IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
           IF NOBER_SPM NE 'X'.
             NOBER_SPM = 'X'.
    *        CASE B_ACTVT.
    *          WHEN '05'.
    *            MESSAGE I333 WITH LFM1-EKORG.
    *          WHEN '06'.
    *            MESSAGE I334 WITH LFM1-EKORG.
    *        ENDCASE.
           ENDIF.
         ENDIF.
      ENDIF.
    So it looks as if it is intentional and a dependency on where (which segment) the master record field is located in.
    Perhaps of you choose MK05 and FK05 as transaction codes then you can achieve what you seem to want from the program?

  • Relative paths not used in the same way for flv and mp3

    When I load an mp3 using the
    Sound component, with the relative path "medias/test.mp3",
    it works.
    When I try to load a flv using the
    VideoDisplay component, with the relative path
    "medias/test.flv", it doesn't work!
    VideoDisplay seems to build the path to the flv
    from the directory where the .swf is, not from where the
    webpage is...
    Webpage is : /blabla/index.html
    Swf path is: /blabla/swf/main.swf
    Medias path: /blabla/medias/...
    Is there a way to tell the VideoDisplay component to load a
    relative path starting at the level where the webpage is?

    Relative paths are_always_ relative to the swf, regardless of
    the media
    type. Note that media is actually _already_ plural ;-).
    So try:
    "./medias/test.flv"
    or possibly
    "../medias/test.flv"

  • We can group apps why not emails in the same way

    It would make so much cense to be able to group e-mails in the same way we group apps by simply holding an e-mail than when it shakes we would drag other emails into it to form a group. Would that make cense ?

    Open the Mail app. Tap on an account. Tap Edit in the upper right. Then New Mailbox in the lower right. Name your folder, and then it's created.
    Then you can find a mail that you want to add to the folder, click this , and select the folder to add it to.

  • Using a Variable in SSIS - Error - "Command text was not set for the command object.".

    Hi All,
    I am using a OLE DB Source in my dataflow component and want to select SQL Query from the master table  I have created variables v_Archivequery
    String packageLevel (to store the query).
    <Variable Name="V_Archivequery" DataType="String">

         Where (b.LatestVersion = 1 OR b.LatestVersion IS NULL)
        </Variable>
    I am assigning this query to the v_Archivequery variable, "SELECT a.*, b.BBxKey as Archive_BBxKey, b.RowChecksum as Archive_RowChecksum

    Please let me know where am going wrong?
    Thanks in advance.
    Thankx & regards, Vipin jha MCP

    What happens if you hit Preview button in OLE DB Source Editor? Also you can use the same query by selecting SQL Command option and test.
    Could you try set the Delay Validation = True at Package and re-run ?
    If set the query in variable expression (not in value), then Set Evaluate As Expression = True.

    HI Martin,
    i am not realy sure what you want!?!?
    i think you want to display only a part of the values you read from XYZ
    so what you can do:
    write all the values in an array.
    the size of the array is the max. value of the slide bar
    now you can select a part of the array (e.g. values from 100 to 200) and display this with a graph
    the other option is to use the history function of the graphes

  • Suggestion for not picking up the same record

    Hi All,
    I have a plsql procedure that picks up the records from the same table from multiple threads. Different threads should not pick up the same record.
    Current Logic:
    I am locking the row that has been picked up the current thread and the next thread should pick up the next row but unfortunately i have a problem here, The inner query will pick up the same record until the status of that particular row is changed since I am picking them up in a FIFO order.
    I am not able to add the lock row in the inner query since oracle does not support it. Is there any other way to do it simpler?

    forgive me if I am naive, but why wouldn't each thread updating its selected rows with a nowait and if exception pick the next range mechanism work?It is not that simple. You can get race conditions between threads as they process the same rows in the same order attempting to "beat" one another by being the first to lock it. The more threads there are, the potentially worse this situation.
    There's also the issue of performance. The thread concept (aka parallel processing) in this respect has a single primary aim. Increase performance and scalability. But does it?
    How is I/O reduced when 50% or more of the reads done by the thread (to find a row to process) is wasted I/O as rows being read have already been locked by other processes/threads?
    The fact remains that if you give the same set of rows to a bunch of threads (e.g. DBMS_JOB processes) for processing, they will contend for the same rows. There will be overheads. There will be wasted I/O.
    So what I am suggesting is each thread; -
    1. Look for rows unprocessed, I usually use atribute field in e-Business suite for this purpose
    2. Attempt to update them with nowait, to INPROCESS
    3. If 2 fails, try the next range - repeat until 2 is possible or end of rangeAnd step 3 is the one that will waste I/O and waste time - as the time it spend looking for a row to process could have been spend on actually processing a row.
    4. You could also improve this by specialising each thread to have its own preferences, if there exists a mechanism that would mean fair distribution between the threads..Yes, and this is a key factor to removing contention between threads, reducing their I/O overheads and reducing their time being spend on finding unprocessed rows to lock and process.
    Then there's Oracle technical issues. On 11gr2 for example, despite using skip locked or nowait (that cannot be used together in a single clause like in 10g), I'm seeing deadlocks when threads contend for the same rows. Same code works fine in 10g without deadlocks. So the approach one chooses need careful testing on that specific Oracle version to ensure it behaves as expected and meets the performance requirements.
    Bottom line is that parallel processing is not as straight forward as simply slapping a nowait clause onto a select statement in order to skip locked rows.

  • How to link two text elements to always read the same...

    I have an InDesign Doc with a Master Page containing a margin and some graphic imagery that I want displayed on every page.
    This works great, so that when I edit the master all other pages are updated.
    However, within the master design there is a header that reads the 'Title' of the document, and the 'Version number'
    This same information is presented on the front cover page of the document.
    What I want to do, is to allow the header to automatically update to whatever is entered in the Front Cover Page text, as this will be the first field completed.
    Is this possible?
    Many thanks

    The OP didn't indicate anything about a Book, or needing to cross documents, but the extra information is certainly helpful.
    I'm not sure I personally trust cross-document cross-refernces all that much, though. There are some reports of them breaking. I might be more inclined, for sake of safety, to repeat the text on page one of each file and use the variable. The text can be in a non-printing frame, if necessary, and that frame need only have some portion inside the bleed area or page boundary if no bleed is specified. The downside to this, of course, is if you edit one, you must edit all, while the cross-reference is a one-shot deal.
    My 2-cents addition was added in hopes of saving some frustration for anyone who might want to achieve the result in a book of files.
    If x-refs were as robust as they should be, you wouldn't need to mistrust them, of course.
    More to the point, err, FrameMaker has global text variables that work across files in a book, so the <$booktitle> text variable, for example, is the same in all component files. You can do this in ID if you post a feature request at AdbeWish.
    I'm not sure if placed external text files are more or less reliable than cross-references, but it's worth a try to enable (check) Preferences > File Handling > Links > Create Links When Placing Text and Spreadsheet Files, and place that text file into a master page text frame that applies a desired paragraph style, so that when/if links are updated, the formatting is reapplied.
    Global text variables, for those folks who might benefit from them, are certainly worth the time and effort for those folks to file a formal request.

  • Want the mouse behave the same way as a tab key

    Hello,
    I am using abap webdynpro. one of my requirements to automatically put the user in insert mode on numeric fields.  That is when the user clicks in a numeric field we want the field to be highlighted.  As soon as the user types something in the field we want the field  to be cleared so that the user overwrites the data.  Basically we want the mouse behave the same way as a tab key.  highlight the field and clear it as soon as you start typing. 
    is this possible?

    As mentioned this is not possible.
    however, I would be wary of trying to overcome a standard functionality "deficiency " like this by implementing an island. If you take this path - all your custom applications will behave differently from the SAP standard ones - which is not really an ideal situation.
    Instead, add your concern to the sticky at the top of this forum - the functionality to "clear" a field (or select all on field on entry which is what is happening with the tab selection) might be added in future releases.
    I think however, that you'll find that the "select all on tab" behaviour is an browser "functionality" rather than anything specifically that SAP has implemented - if you try using a different browser, you may not find the same thing happening (although with the browsers I've checked it does).
    The same thing happens with any HTML forms - just try yourself. e.g.[external site with details on HTML forms and input fields|http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_forms.asp]
