How do you get black to look "dark black" when converting to PDF?

Some times when I convert my document to a PDF, the blacks show more as a grey. Sometimes ill see both gray and actual black on the same PDF. I know this has something to do with the "appearance of black" in the prefernaces but I cannot figure out what the proper settings are for this.

Well, Appereance of Black has sure something to do with that but it´s not the whole truth. If you are making RGB or Grayscale PDF, and you have your Print/Export Appereance of Black set as Rich Black, InDesign converts all your K100 Blacks to Rich Black. That doesn´t happen if you target Color Space (in PDF export or printing) is CMYK.
You can do that manually too, also for CMYK PDFs. Simply create new swatch, for instance C30, M0, Y0, K100 or if you want even deeper black, use C30, M30, Y30, K100. All the elements you color with this new swatch will be darker.
I wouldnt use that kind of rich black for text for printed documents, at least if text is small size. InDesign doesn´t overprint by default any other black than regular K100 black. And there might be some convergence issues too.

How do you get Openoffice to look more Gnome-like?

When you install OOo (version 2.2.1-3), some of the output in the termial says
use "export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=kde" or
use "export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome" to preset your desired look,
or put it in /etc/profile, rc.local, or ~/.bashrc.
I have tried copying the line "export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome" (without quotes) to my /etc/profile. Nothing changed, still looks like stock OOo.
Then tried to open soffice using info from the wiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenOffice#Setup
# OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome soffice
Again, no change. When soffice opens, it is the stock OOo appearance.
Tried adding "export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome" (no quotes) into~.bashrc as noted in the wiki. Did not work, still stock OOo appearance.
Searching the our forums, Google, and the Arch wiki has yet to give me a clue. Looked at the 2.2.1-3 PKGBUILD, GTK switch is set to 'enable'.
I tried Abiword, it looks (as it should) Gnome-like. I would use but it is giving me problems with envelopes that the Abiword mail list has yet to be able to help. I know you can get OOo to look Gnome-like, you can see it in this screen shot:

What am I doing wrong?

I might be wrong but I believe you want export OOO FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome...NOT OOO_FORCE_DES... (remove the '_' between OOO and FORCE.) Thats what I have and looks fine to me.

How do you get it to show the temperature when you scroll down?

How can I get ExportPDF to not add hyphens when converting to Word?

I am using the online service ExportPDF, at https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf .It automatically adds hyphens in the resulting Word document for all words that were auto-hyphenated at line ends in the original PDF. How can I get it to convert these as whole words?
I know that for example in InDesign there is a setting in the Preferences menu and changing it from Retain Flowing Text to Retain Page Layout should remove such extra hyphens upon exporting. But I don't find any such settings for the ExportPDF service online.
It matters because I frequently need to cut and paste converted text from the Word documents into other documents with different formatting, and the hyphens, which are now hard characters, come out all wrong.
Can anyone help with this?

Hi liquidandrew,
There is no setting in ExportPDF to change the output, other than choosing a language for OCR. ExportPDF does it's best to keep the converted document true to the original, so it sounds like it's maintaining the hyphens where they appear in the PDF. Could you do a quick find/replace in Word to remove the hyphens? However, you would run the risk of removing hyphens where you want them, such as in compound words.
Best,
Sara

Thanks Bill for your reply.
I am using Acrobat XI, just downloaded it and Word 2003. There are no punctuations on my form, I just hit return to go to the next lines.
I put in a little square check box and that is also causing issues. I checked to make sure the field codes are off on the original word doc.
I did try from the printer to save and adobe and I get the same codes. Other people that I work with are able to get my document to save correctly in acrobat with the same versions of word and XI.
It has to be some small setting on my computer.

How do you get fonts to look normal after upgrade to snow leopard

fuzzy or blurred on both imac and external acer 24 inch monitor.
anyone know how to get them back to normal?

I was having the problem of fuzzy fonts in Terminal (which I use a lot, being a UNIX guy). I use 14 pt Bold Courier New a lot, and it was fuzzy after my SL upgrade on a 21" iMac (2 Ghz dual core). I finally discovered the "antialias text" button in the Terminal preferences. In my case it was turned on for all of my terminals that had fuzzy fonts. I unclicked this button in all of my terminal preferences, and voila, clear fonts again.

How can you get your homage address to open when you open new tabs? My homepage is Google, but my new tabs always open with Yahoo.

On my old computer, all my tabs always opened to what my homepage was set to: iGoogle. Now with my new computer, my homepage is set, but all new tabs open with Yahoo! I've tried looking at tab setting but don't see a place to set it. Help!

The behavior that you have is not the default Firefox behavior, which always opens a blank tab. You will have an add-on that is causing this. Check for any Yahoo related add-ons to see if they have this option. The freeze net assistant add-on is another one that opens Yahoo in a new tab.
There are add-ons that allow you to specify what should appear on a new tab, but these may conflict with the add-on that is opening Yahoo.
* NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl
* New Tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage
Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar.

If that phone has been synced in iTunes, you can restore from the backup after having restored the phone.
There is also a little mac app that can read the iPhone backups that are in iTunes,called ibackupviewer.
Then when there is no backup of the iPhone: read the following aricle:
