Marking words with background colour, the colour disappears when making pdf. How to do?

Hi, I am working with a project that needs to highlight certain word or phrases with different colours. I use the background colour option to do this, but when making a pdf, the colour disappears. How do I get this to work? FM10 unstructured.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work in FM10 (or 11) using the CMYK settings - you have to use RGB and convert the colours either in the PDF (with tools like Enfocus' PitstopPro) or during the postscript stage with a tool like PubliPDF (see: Grafikhuset Publi PDF for GPL licensed freebie version; usage details and other info is available at: Welcome to Grafikhuset Publi PDF ).
You could also try using the CMYK joboptions setting in the RGB mode to see if you get an acceptable conversion (however be aware that any graphics and images in the documents may be affected). You should also set GetLibraryColorRGBFromCMYK=None to prevent FM from trying to do unnecessary colour conversions.
The background colour feature works correctly in the CMYK mode starting only with FM12.

    Reader doesn’t create pdf files. You can use Acrobat (ask in that forum) to create pdfs. You can subscribe to the Adobe PDF Pack which has a create pdf functionality (please ask in that forum), or you can use a third party utility such as ghostscript, cutepdf, or Microsoft’s own PDF creation capability. For third party pdf creation you will need to ask in a forum dedicated to that software as fellow users of Reader are unlikely to have the knowledge to help.

  • Why is there a number in parenthesis ie: (7) before the Words with Friends in the Tab Bar? Does it mean there are seven copies of it opened and is that the reason it is so slow?

    When I open Firefox and go to "Words with Friends" in the Tab Bar a number in parenthesis is always there.....any number from 3 to 8, ie: (8). I have shut down the computer and restarted it thinking it will go away and sometimes the number will be different....but some number always remains.

    Such an addition is likely to be added by one of the extensions.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • How to change the background of the StackPanel control when any child element has focus?

    Hello folks!
    I need to change the background of the StackPanel control when any element within the StackPanel has focus. I am executing the code snippet below. The code works fine with elements within the Grid control named "main". It doesn't work when I focus
    an element within the Grid control named "header".
    <StackPanel x:Name="techReportStackPanel" Width="250" Background="{Binding ColorBrush}" >
    <StackPanel.Style>
    <Style TargetType="{x:Type StackPanel}">
    <Style.Triggers>
    <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ElementName=techReportStackPanel, Path=IsKeyboardFocusWithin}" Value="True">
    <Setter Property="Background" Value="Gray" />
    <Setter Property="Opacity" Value=".5" />
    </DataTrigger>
    </Style.Triggers>
    </Style>
    </StackPanel.Style>
    <Grid x:Name="header">
    <TextBlock x:Name="headerColumn" Text="{Binding Name}" Style="{StaticResource ColumHeader}"/>
    <Button Visibility="{Binding ElementName=headerColumn, Path=Text, Converter={StaticResource delButtonVisibilityConverter}}" Command="{Binding DelCommand}" Content="x" ToolTip="{l:Translate TechReportDeleteToolTip}"/>
    </Grid>
    <Grid x:Name="main">
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
    <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <wpftoolkit:WatermarkTextBox Grid.Column="0" Style="{StaticResource OrdinaryTextbox}" Watermark="{l:Translate LengthLabel}" ToolTip="{l:Translate BoreholeSpacingInRow}" Text="{Binding BoreholeSpacingInRow, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, StringFormat=F2, Converter={StaticResource zeroToEmptyDoubleConverter}}" />
    <wpftoolkit:WatermarkTextBox Grid.Column="1" Style="{StaticResource OrdinaryTextbox}" Watermark="{l:Translate WidthLabel}" ToolTip="{l:Translate BoreholeSpacingBetweenRow}" Text="{Binding BoreholeSpacingBetweenRow, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, StringFormat=F2, Converter={StaticResource zeroToEmptyDoubleConverter}}" />
    </Grid>
    </StackPanel>
    Any advice and suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

    >>It doesn't work when I focus an element within the Grid control named "header".
    You mean when the Button in the "header" Grid is focused? A TextBlock is not focusable so when the Button is not visible no element in the "header" Grid will be focused since you only have two elements in the "header" Grid.
    But when the Button is visible it should work. Please refer to the following code:
    <StackPanel x:Name="techReportStackPanel" Width="250" Background="{Binding ColorBrush}" >
    <StackPanel.Style>
    <Style TargetType="{x:Type StackPanel}">
    <Style.Triggers>
    <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ElementName=techReportStackPanel, Path=IsKeyboardFocusWithin}" Value="True">
    <Setter Property="Background" Value="Gray" />
    <Setter Property="Opacity" Value=".5" />
    </DataTrigger>
    </Style.Triggers>
    </Style>
    </StackPanel.Style>
    <Grid x:Name="header">
    <TextBlock Text="text..."/>
    <Button Visibility="Visible" Content="Button" />
    </Grid>
    <Grid x:Name="main">
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
    <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <TextBox Grid.Column="0">main grid...</TextBox>
    <TextBox Grid.Column="1">main grid...</TextBox>
    </Grid>
    </StackPanel>
    When the Button is focused the Background colour of the StackPanel is set to Gray as expected.
    If you want to be able to focus the TextBlock you should set its Focusable property to true:
    <Grid x:Name="header">
    <TextBlock Focusable="True" x:Name="headerColumn" Text="{Binding Name}" Style="{StaticResource ColumHeader}"/>
    <Button Visibility="{Binding ElementName=headerColumn, Path=Text, Converter={StaticResource delButtonVisibilityConverter}}" Command="{Binding DelCommand}" Content="x" ToolTip="{l:Translate TechReportDeleteToolTip}"/>
    </Grid>
    Hpoe that helps.

    As a student, you might be able to get Office for Mac from the college bookstore at a substantial discount. Otherwise, I think your best option for documents that need to be shared with Office users is to get one of the free Office clones such as LibreOffice.

    What do you mean fuzzy?  I have CS4 on Windows XP but I don't understand your terminology.  It is grey in color but all DW versions are more or less like this.
    i can post a screen shot of what is on my machine if it would be of any help.
    Good luck.

    Thats actually not a search bar. It's the address field. Frankly I hadn't noticed that the space doesn't display for the field, but it probably shouldn't. No well formed web address should have a space.
    It should be noted however that the address bar is not strictly for URLs. You can also type bookmark names and history items (though not web searches). Here a space would occasionally come in handy. In fact when using an external keyboard it is possible to enter spaces in this field. So this is strictly a limitation of the on-screen keyboard.

  • Why the clock disappears when you recieve a call !!

    Dear iphoners,
    It is really strange why the clock disappears when you receive a call "during ringing" ..
    for me it is really matter to know the time just before I answer .. you can notice that when your phone is ringing , you can't see the time and you are stuck !!
    I'm sure some of you are sharing the same concern .. how can we send this to the developers to solve this issue !!
    just to let you feel my concern .. Imagine yourself sleeping and suddenly someone called you "your Boss", you just woke up and you have no idea what is the time .. its bad to answer and ask the caller what is the time !! .. and its annouing to wait till the phone stop ringing to check the time then you call back !!
    Please let me know if there is a way to solve this .. or at least let’s ask the developers to solve it
    Thanks,
    Muataz

  • I cannot get subtitles on my new smart tv. I've read all the solutions online and none of them work. When I try to airplay the BBC i player by mirroring my iphone 4 the subtitles disappear when I change from iphone to appletv.

    I cannot get subtitles on my new smart tv. I've read all the solutions online and none of them work. When I try to airplay the BBC i player by mirroring my iphone 4 the subtitles disappear when I change from iphone to apple tv.

    That's because the BBC iPlayer app uses basic AirPlay to show the content, this means the original content is sent to the Apple TV for it to decode rather than mirroring the screen of the iPad where the subtitles are added.

    Don't hold it like that. You're creating an 'echo chamber' due to the position of your hand/neck/face. It's not a technical issue. I hear this when I talk to my wife and she cradles the phone against her shoulder.

  • My previous session disappeared when I updated, how can I get it back?

    My previous session disappeared when I updated, how can I get it back?

    If you go to the History menu, is "Restore Previous Session" available? You can check that either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > History
    * classic menu bar: History
    If it's grayed out, then that's a bad sign.
    Do not close Firefox. First, try to rescue the following files:
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button.
    In the window that launches, scroll down:
    (1) Double-click into the '''sessionstore-backups''' folder. Anything from the relevant date/time? If so, copy it to a safe location such as your Documents folder or Desktop.
    (2) Back at the main level, scroll down to the sessionstore file(s). Same question. If so, copy it to a safe location such as your Documents folder or Desktop.
    The kinds of files you may find among your sessionstore files are:
    * sessionstore.js and recovery.js: the windows and tabs in your currently live Firefox session (or, if Firefox is closed, your last session)
    * recovery.bak: a backup copy of recovery.js
    * previous.js: the windows and tabs in your last Firefox session; sessionstore.bak for pre-33 versions of Firefox
    * upgrade.js-''build_id'': the windows and tabs in the Firefox session that was live at the time of your last update; sessionstore.bak-''datetime'' for pre-33 versions of Firefox
    If you come up with something promising, you may be able to have Firefox use it for your next session (details if relevant).

  • Why can't I add tasks and reminders manually with iOS7?  The   has disappeared.

    I just upgraded to iOS 7 and went to add a new task in the reminders app.  I realized that the + has disappeared and I am unable to manually add a task. Is this intentional? Is this a miss, or am I missing something? This is happening both on my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2.

    Same concern and request. Scrolling to the bottom of the Task list is a pain - I typically have 30 or more as part of a GTD-lite technique. Siri workaround is partly useful in the right circumstances / surroundings. And better if you are on a walk or something like that. Pls restore the +, or provide a "down arrow" to get to the bottom of the Task or Reminder list. Or put the blank "next line" at the top of the list (like Outlook has done for years). Makes me wonder sometimes whether Apple designers and execs actually use their software? Or, whether their beta tester did not come across this obvious limitation / regression. Please try harder!
