Graphic Behind Text

This may be the most obvious question, but I need help
understanding how I can output a finished page design in Fireworks
and export it correctly for Dreamweaver import.I have text that
sits on artwork. Instead of having it output as just an image with
image maps, I want the background behind the text to be an image
file and I want the text to be in HTML text over it so I can edit
it in Dreamweaver. How do you do this? I've opened Dreamweaver
templates from other sources and I can't figure out how it is done.
I also need to create a drop-down list menu on a menu bar and I
want to have it sitting on top of an image.
Thanks!

Use the image as a background in your Dreamweaver. You can
then do what
you want.

  • Selecting Graphics Behind Text

    Hello,
    I’m using Pages ’08 and working with a neat, layered, grouped graphic. There are three layers: a dark background graphic, a lighter middle graphic, and white text in a text box on top. All three use the exact same dimensions and are stacked one on top of the other for a total of three layers, grouped. None of the layers cause wrap.
    I’d like to select one of the graphics to edit the color and find that I cannot do it without ungrouping the items, moving the text layer out of the way, applying the new color, putting the text layer back in place, and then regrouping everything. It seems like unnecessary steps. It seems as if I should be able to use a modifier key and do a series of clicks to activate the layer that I want, much like when I used QuarkXPress and InDesign. Is there a similar key stroke in Pages?
    The user’s manual says “To select a floating object that’s behind text, place the pointer outside the text area, press the Command key, and then drag across the page until the object’s selection handles appear.” That doesn’t solve my concern, though.
    I've attached a sample of what my graphic looks like. It would be great if there were key strokes to use. If not I'll have to go back to each instance of the graphic and make changes to each one.
    Please let me know if you have an idea of how to make this work.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Pages does not have any modifier keys to click down through layers like other DTP software.
    Unlocking and staggering the layers is the only way. There is an averaging command that does however let you centre them back on top of each other.

  • Anchoring Object to a Paragraph Style? Objects behind text

    Hello,
    I am trying to anchor an graphic object to a paragraph style that is a numbered paragraph.  I have set up my numbering and I want a single graphic to be anchored to the number so it appears behind the number each time I choose that paragrah style.
    Is this possible to do?
    Or perhaps I should ask how other people put graphics behind bullets or numbers and have them anchor to the text...
    I sure could use soem help with this; it seems like it should be easy...
    Dave.

    I found this intriguing, so I thought I'd see what I could come up with.
    I made a numbered paragraph style, to start. Then I made a Cyan filled ellipse, which I anchored in front of the first word in one of the paragraphs, and changed the positioning to custom and made sure it was relative to the anchor, and turned off keep within frame boundaries, to allow me to position it "behind" the number. As emmanuel points out, anchored objects are actually in front of the text, so so far it's not working.
    I selected the ellipse and changed it's blend mode to multiply. This will not change it's color where it is over white, but it will darken wherever it is on top of another color, creating a rich black number, for example, if you used black text. Looks pretty good now.
    Select the ellipse and create a new object style based on it. This will by default include the blend mode and anchored object parameters, and be sure the style is applied to the selected ellipse. Now cut the ellipse and paste it on the pastboard out of the way so you don't lose it.
    As long as the object is on the clipboard you can use it for a find/change operation, so you can do that now, or later, just by copying it again when it's convenient. The find/change needs to be a GREP search for ^(.) which means find any character at the beginning of a paragraph, and replace with ~c$1 which means replace with the formatted contents of the clipboard and the found character. Be sure to set the find formatting options to the numbered paragraph style.
    Because you gave the object an object style that includes the blend mode and positioning, and you pasted it as a formatted object, those attributes are preserved and the graphic will be positioned correctly for each paragraph.

  • SAPScript: Positioning a Window (Graphic) behind the main window

    Hello,
    I want to print a graphic behind the main window. But I am not able positioning a window or graphic-window behind the main window. The result is that my graphic always shows up in front of the printed text of the main window and not behind the text of the main window, as I wish. I thought that the order of the windows determines which windows is on top? But I am not able of putting a window before the 'MAIN' design window.
    Regards, Lars.

    Hi Lars
    Please check the following thread:
    ABAP Development
    /: BITMAP MYLOGO OBJECT GRAPHICS ID BMAP TYPE BMON
    I think, trick must be in 'TYPE'.
    Try to explore what options you can have (here it is BMON). I will also try.

  • Images Behind Text in RTF Template

    While creating a few rtf templates, I noticed that if an image is to be shown behind text then the image will not render to back to .rtf by bi pub.
    If I put the image inline with text, it renders just fine.
    Am I missing a step that would allow me to render the image behind text or is it just working as intended?

  • Move graphics with text--but not inline--in PM...??

    Hello, is there a way in PageMaker to move graphics with text but not inline? I ask because right now I see two options for graphics:
    --inline, so you cannot place the graphic exactly where you want AND the text only flows way above or below--but not next to--the graphic
    or
    --independent so you can place the graphic exactly where you want and the text DOES flow right next to the graphic, but then the graphic doesn't move with the text
    I'd like to be able to place graphics exactly where I want AND have them move with the text, like the "Move object with text" option in Word.
    thank you!
    L

    well it has been a while since i used PageMaker so i didn't realize it was "dead."
    though i'm not surprised and am kind of glad. i was hired into a new job recently
    to work on a department newsletter, and i'm trying to find a good authoring program
    within our budget. right now the newsletter is in Word but we've had a lot of problems
    with Word so i'm seeking an alternate solution. i'd like Frame but again there isn't
    enough money in the budget. i need a good option that is $500 or less...i'm trying Publisher
    now too but not enough functionality...

  • Is there a way for a form user to load graphics and text in same field?

    I am aware that you can load text into a text field and graphics into an image field.  However, I would like to load a document containing text and graphics (e.g., MS Word or RTF) into a single field on a PDF form.  Is there any way to do this?

    Paul,
    I believe that the example of attaching a file that you have provided will solve the problem.  I am using LiveCycle Designer, so using the code that is in your example should be no problem.  The end-user will use Adobe Reader, so as you mentioned, I will use Acrobat to extend the features so that the form can be used by Reader.
    Thanks so much for your help,

    It is part of the PDF AcroForm side of things .....Are you using Reader or Acrobat to fill the form. If Reader then you will have to Reader Extend to make this work ....if Acrobat then you simply need to add some code. I have attached a sample that shows you how to do it if you want it.

  • Anchored objects behind text

    Is there a way to make an anchored box sit behind text? I have a section title with section numbers. I would like to place a piece of art behind all the section numbers. The box always comes out on top. I can create a new paragraph style with autonumbering for the section into it, place it over the art, group it, and then anchor it. The only problem is, now the section numbers won't show up in the running head. Any ideas? I'm using CS3. I used to be able to do this in FrameMaker. Thanks.

    Can't be done with anchored objects - sorry.
    But you can convert your text to a table - and that can put a background in there.
    OR
    Use Paragraph Rules to highlight a line of text or a pargraph of text

  • Copy and paste graphics and text in Acrobat 9 Pro

    I'm a new user of Acrobat Pro and am trying to copy a combination of text and graphics from the top half of a page to the blank bottom half of the page. I've not had much success with what I thought would be a simple thing to do and would welcome suggestions. Here's a summary of the options I've tried so far for graphics, text, and both text and graphics.
    A. Graphic Alone:
    1. When I use the Select Object Tool, I can highlight the graphic but when I unclick the left mouse button, the highlighting disappears, so I can't copy the graphic.
    2. When I use theTouchup Object Tool, only an oblong portion of the graphic is highlighted when I click on the object. The only way to highlight all of the graphic is to hold down the shift key and click on successive portions of the graphic until I have highlighted all of it. When I then right-click the mouse, I can copy the graphic. However, when I then place the mouse cursor in the bottom half of the page and do a righ-click paste, the graphic appears to be pasted on top of the original graphic. I can then drag the graphic to the bottom half of the page. I can also paste the object on to a blank page from Create PDF>Blank Page. Overall, this is not elegant nor intuitive, but it does work.
    B. Text Alone:
    1. I can copy the text but when it is pasted, it is not formatted like the orginal, nor can I place it where I want on the bottom half of the page. This is true whenther I use the basic copy function or the Touchup Text Tool.
    2. When I use the Touchup Object Tool and click on the text, Acrobat places similarly-formatted text in a box that I can then right-click and copy. I can then paste the text on a blank page with the text formatted identical to the way it was on the original page. With several blocks of text formatted differently, this procedure could work but would require a lot of work to create a format with placement identical to the original.
    C. Text and Graphics Together
    1. When I use the Touchup Object Tool and attempt to highlight the top half of the page, the Tool insists on including the blank bottom half of the page in its selection. I can copy everything on the page but I haven't found a way to select just the objects in the top half of the page -- I can copy some, but the selected objects aren't highlighted and so this isn't a satisfactory route. It seems obvious to me that Touchup Object should be able to select just the objects I want. But then, even the Select Object Tool doesn't do that, either -- it Selects an object but then you can't do anything with the object.
    2. Using the snapshot tool, I can highlight both graphics and text and copy them -- I can even export them them to another program via the clipboard and create an external file. However -- regardless of whether I just copy and paste, or do a  Touchup Object file import, or whether the file is bitmap or jpg -- when I paste the resulting object or file onto a page in Acrobat, the image always comes out at 200% of its orginal size. I looked for a Resize option, but couldn't find one.
    This is all very time-consuming and frustrating since what I am trying to do is not rocket science. Surely there is a simple way to do this.
    By the way, there are no security restrictions on the file.
    George

    Hi,
    In response to both "...is that normal?" — Yes.
    PDF is not a file format meant to support editing of layout/format/etc or text content creation.
    You'd master content in an authoring application (FrameMaker, InDesign, MS Word, etc.).
    The PDF file is the output of this mastered content.
    Some minor touchups are possible with Acrobat (think whiteout/correction tape on a printed piece of paper -- PDF page content is the electronic "finished paper").
    With that said, you might play with File > Create PDF > From Blank Page and use the Typewriter tool to enter text.
    To output MS Word content to PDF use the Adobe PDFMaker.
    Prior to Word 2007, you'd use "Adobe PDF" on the menu line.
    With Word 2007, you'd use the Acrobat Ribbon features.
    Be well...

  • Send object behind text

    Can you send an object behind text in the Ipad pages app so that the text is over the top of the object?

    After some researching I found it more productive to use a
    textArea component.
    One reason was the UIScrollBar is attached to it so
    dynamicallt resizing and moving is a breeze.
    I looked into the movieclip method swapDepths() to change the
    depth of movieclips and found
    it may be useful down the road.
    The main point of this thread was the dynamic UIScrollBar
    sitting on top of the area when created.
    With a dynamic textArea it positions itself acording to the
    Layer hiarcy. Add setSyles and there is
    no reason I see to use Dynamic text unless for less
    overhead???
    Thankyou kglad for you input!

  • Pdf (with graphics and text) in the email body

    When I place an pdf (with graphics and text) in the body of my email using Mac Mail my recipient sees them as attachments only. I am trying to find a way of presenting a formatted email with graphics that will appear the same way to all recipients, but a pdf frequently ends up being an attachment instead of staying in the body. The pdf  file doesn’t seem to always show up in the body as created. Is there a better way to accomplish this?

    You have no control over how your email maybe rendered by other email servers and client side software.
    Attachment Tamer may give you a few more options but it does not guaranty the end result.

  • EPDF files failing to read on ADE reading software when they have Sidebar color graphics and text, how do we fix problem?

    We have 2 different InDesign files not reading properly in ADE reader. Both files have sidebar color graphics and text in them. The one original file's EPDF was showing blank pages for all the page with the sidebars in it when opened in ADE (they are DRM wrapped). Pages that did not have the sidebar showed up fine. Our ebook distributor is telling us that we have to rasterize the file. We are working in InDesign 6 with Adobe Acrobat X Pro. We made JPEGS of each page and reimported into an InDesign file and exported to PDF and our ADE reader then showed the sidebar pages. The file is pretty large though and I have a full length book that has the same problem. What is the problem with our sidebars and what are better solutions than JPEGS for each page? Thanks.

    I will give that a try, thank you.

  • Trying to insert a picture behind text in Word 2011 for Mac

    Can someone please help me? I am very fluent in Word 2010 for Windows, and this was a simple process. I was attempting to create a document in Word 2011 for Mac, like I've done many times on my pc. I wanted a picture in the background, with text on top of that. In the windows version, I would simply go to headers & footers, insert my picture, and set the word wrap to "behind text." When I closed the header/footer, I could put my text on top of the picture and by adjusting the text color and placement, I could create greeting cards, posters, flyers, whatever. Yesterday I tried to do the same with Word 2011 for Mac, and could not get rid of the white background behind my text. After attempting all the tricks I knew, I finally gave up. Can someone out there please point me in the right direction? (I tried to include a screen shot, but can't figure out how to use that little "insert image" button up there either. Sigh.)

    Since yours is a question about a feature in MS Word for Mac, I would recommend reposting your question in Microsoft's Support site for Word for Mac.  The experts there would be more conversant in that App.

  • Can we create graphic and text in the same window of smartform without using template?

    we create graphic and text in the same window of smartform without using template?

    Hi Kinjal,
    as far as i understand you are talking about a template which you can partitioned and in one part you wants to show your graphics and in other part you wants to print your text, the border of template shall remain invisible.
    If you wants to do it without using a template, you can do it as sujjested by Susmitha, but creating a template will provide you more flexibility that if you wants to change the attributes in future you can do it easily.
