Added large text but small font size ?

I've used 48 pt text on my document, yet now it is showing as 9 pt even though the size of the text is still big.  Why is that?

Text(Type) is very complex and pt size is very confusing it can be set to 72 points per inch or 72.27 points per inch and inches is relative to document resolution.  Text(Type) can also be set to Pixel which is an absolute value, set to millimeters a unit relative to resolution  or set set to point units which has one or another value which are relative to inche when inches is relative to resolution  pixel size.  In scripting the only way I seem to be able to do any calculations is to first save a document current resolution. Then change the document resolution to 72 pixels per inch, use type units set to points, Have Photoshop point  value set to 72 per inch  not  72.27 points per inch.  So there are 72 Pixels per inch and there are 72 pixel per inch.  Pixels and Point are currently the same size and number.   I then can seem to do the math add the text the size I want. I then  can restore the document to its original resolution and let Pixels and points go their the merry way.  It all make my head spin and ache.   It is simple to see how complex text is. Look at you Photoshop's Preference units page,  record an action that add a simple text layer.  Expand that action's "make text layer" step to get an idea of how complex text is. Even to record an action with a goot font size you need to know the document inches size. note the script is user to record the documents resolution into its metadata the Image size scale the image to a known width resample is not checked only the document resolution is changes pixels do not.  The add test let font size works foul image that are that known width.   Later that script is used again  by the action to remove the saved resolution recorded in the meta data and restores the document to its origional resolution size.

  • Images should grow or shrink when the user chooses a larger or smaller font size in ADE.

    Hi All,
    I use percentage values (in "width" attribute within "img" element) for image that should grow or shrink when the user
    chooses a larger or smaller font size. The adjustment affects not only the size of the text but also images but the images
    are getting distorted or blurred when user chooses larger font size in Adobe Digital Editions.
    Can anyone, please guide me; how to get non-distorted and non-blur images in epub package?
    If I directly use images, without svg format i.e. png or jpg files, then images get overlapped on body-text in two column display in ADE.
    OR
    if I directly use jpg or png with width attribute varying in percentage value then image shrinks and grows as user chooses smaller and larger font size but the problem of distorted image remains as it is

    Hi DenisonDoc,
    There is no option right now to set properties globally primarily for Text fields. You may make sure fields doesn't contain anything.
    Select all the text filed from the form and right click any of the selected field make sure all of them are selected choose properties --> Appearance there you can choose Font Size and Font type.
    - End users cant change size and type of font. It is up to designer.

  • Adobe Form's First Page printing perfectly on 132 column sheet but further pages prints with small font size

    Dear All,
    We are facing a strange behavior of adobe form.
    we made form for SAP CRM which is printing in 132 column(28cm * 33cm) sheet. what we are observing is, first page is printing perfectly on the pre printed Invoice sheet but if invoice has more items to be displayed then second  page prints with small font size or you can say second page seems to be zoomed out to smaller page size. In Preview Second page onwards also looks perfect. Now we are in a fix what to do to come out of this issue.
    efforts made:-
    Adobe Page Size Adjusted.
    Select paper Source by Page Size ticked in Adobe form properties
    But still result is non satisfactory. Please Help.
    Regards,
    Ashkar Rizvi

    See my answers below:
    a) The size of the pages of PDF which you are printing. LETTER
    b) Does all pages of the PDF are of same size? YES
    c) What is the page size set in the Printer and what is the actual size of the paper which you have put in the tray? LETTER
    d) Does this problem also happens on the virtual printer which you might have on your system (Try either Microsoft MPS Document writer or Adobe PDF Printer) No VIRTUAL PRINTERS
    Thank you for attempting to help me with this... we have tried everything and haven't been able to resolve the problem.

  • How to make a text field smaller in size

    Can I make a text field smaller in size (not just the length
    but also the height) depending on the font size eg 10px. Whatever
    font size I seem to use the text field stays the same size.

    Can you give an explicit example of what you want? Are you
    referring to the
    font size that someone sets in the browser, or the size you
    set in the page?

  • Right side menu too small font size of letters in Windows 8.1 High DPI screen

    Hi, I just own a new laptop with Windows 8.1 and high resolution screen.
    When I start Adobe Reader, the document area seems to be readable, with "normal size fonts", but the options menú in the right side uses a very small fonts size and is hardly readable.
    I tried to change it using the Windows "change menu, title, icons size, but withpout success.
    Any solution for it?
    By the way, in a Lenovo Ideapad U430 Touch, there is not "magnyfying glass" combination key and the zoom function of the touch screen doesn't work either in that right side menu área (it works in the document area, not in the right side menu area).
    Any help will be welcomed.
    Thanks.
    Javier

    Hi, Pat, test done.
    Thanks for your suggestion, it was somehow helpful, or, let say, half and half.
    It was helpful in the way that when I opened the preferences Windows I was not able to see the full window, there was a part of the right side of the window that was out of the screen. So, when I changed the "scaling settings options and behaviour" from "Auto" (default value) to 100% everything was in the display.... So, this was of high help.
    BUT I was not able to find any way in all the suggested document for making the fonts used in the right window of the Adobe Reader, the one where the "Tools" and "Comments" menus are displayed more readable, bigger size, than the one that the product uses by default in the High DPI display.
    So, thanks for the suggested document that helped to solve the first point.
    BUT
    Any other idea that could help for changing the fonts used in the "Tools" or "Comments" menu window?
    Thanks and kind regards.

  • My large text at 32pt font doesn't affect all of my emails, why?

    In his iPhone Settings, under Accessibility, my boss has his Large Text set at 32pt font. However, about half of his work emails come through in the large font, and half do not (they come through in 5pt font, it's really small). The email is an Microsoft Exchange email, and I've had my fair share of problems working on an iPhone with an Exchange account, but this seems odd as there doesn't seem to be a reason why some emails come through in 32pt font, and other's don't. I don't know if it has anything to do with the length of the chain of the email, like 40 email responses come through small whereas an email chain of 5 responses comes through in 32pt. AppleCare had no idea, and did some troubleshooting (e.g. rebooting and try to reset all preferences) which didn't work. Help please!

    No, only outbound emails are HTML. Inbound emails are sent in their original format, whether that's RTF or Plain Text. So is that the problem then? Emails that are sent, lets say, Plain Text where it doesn't support italics, bold, or other text formatting? Although, it seems that many of the emails that aren't affected by his iPhone setting of 32pt text seem to come through in either RTF or HTML, as most of these inbound (external) emails are also coming from Outlook 2010.

  • My windows appear 'zoomed out'. That is, the display has small font sizes and lots of information in each window. This happened 'on it's own' one day when I logged in. How do I zoom it in again and keep it there?

    Example 1 - Yahoo email 'inbox' page.
    The font size of the list of emails in my yahoo email 'inbox', is about 8 (that is very small). In fact it is everything in the 'inbox' window except the adverts.
    The font size used to be 12 which is bigger and more easily readable.
    Example 2 - 'My ebay' summary page.
    To read the list of 'activities' to choose from on the left of the 'summary page' I have to scroll down for ages until the second activity appears and then scroll down for ages again to get to the third activity and so on. It's as though the summary page was 20 meters long.
    All the activities used to be on the left when I opened the summary page.
    It is as though some setting has changed with out me knowing. I don't know if this is relevant but I think it might have happened after I accepted a Java update.
    Thanks for whatever help is offered,
    Tony

    To zoom in and out of a page, hit the CTRL and + (plus) or - (minus) keys.
    You can use the + or - keys either above the QWERTY keyboard, or the numerical keypad on the side.

  • Small font size in converting spool request to pdf format

    Dear All,
    Every month after payroll run, the payslips are converted to pdf format with the help of standard program 'RSTXPDFT4'. But now when we are converting the file to pdf, the font size is coming too small to be read, though there is no truncation of data. No changes have been made recently and earlier it used to work fine.
    Please suggest how do I rectify this problem.
    Regards,
    Kanupriya

    Hi Soumyaprakash,
    Earlier when % size of pdf was 75 then also we got a clear view but now we have to go as high as 150% to get it readable. Even the printout is not readable.
    Please let me know how to check the font size. Also could this problem be due to some Basis setting?
    Regards,
    Kanupriya

  • Compositing text modifications with font size modifications for undo

    Hey TLF gurus,
    So here's my situation.  I have a text flow.  The user starts typing "The lazy brown dog..." and after each character is typed I'm modifying the font size of all the text to make it fit inside the container.  Here's how I'm doing that: http://aaronhardy.com/flex/size-text-to-container/ (you can right-click the app to see the source).
    That all works well, but undo isn't working so well.  When I hit undo, I would like it to remove the text.  But when I call undo on the undo manager, it gets to EditManager.performUndo() where it checks to see if operation.endGeneration is different than textFlow.generation.  In my case, they aren't the same because I updated the font size after the last keystroke.  Because they're different, the undo fails.  Because I updated the font size after the last text insert, TextFlow.processModelChanged() was called and increased the text flow's generation while the insert text operation's end generation stayed the same.
    Ultimately I think I want to create a composite operation that contains any text modifications with their following text auto-sizing.  Either that or I want to prevent my font auto-sizing operation from affecting the text flow generation.  Either way, I'm not sure how to go about pulling it off.  I'm sure I can make some sweet hacks but I'd really appreciate some guidance.  Thanks.
    Aaron

    I'm able to successfully merge the sizing operations with the text operations.  I did it in a round-about way but afterward I found a more appropriate way: executing the ApplyFormatOperation by calling back into EditManager.doOperation when the FlowOperationEvent.FLOW_OPERATION_END event is dispatched from TextFlow (essentially making it recursive).  This way the EditManager will composite the operations.  This is described pretty well in the code and documentation of EditManager.doInternal().  I didn't test it, however.
    Instead, for a couple reasons I decided not to go with that plan at all but instead went with my Plan B which was to prevent my font auto-sizing operation from affecting the text flow generation.  I essentially want the auto-sizing to occur without it going into the undo history, modifying the text flow generation, etc., etc.  I want it to go incognito.  The way I did this was to store the text flow's generation, make the font size modifications, then set the text flow's generation back to what it was before the font size was applied.  This may have some negative repercussions but for now I think it's the best approach for my needs.
    Thanks for letting me talk to myself!  Feel free to add ideas.

  • DESIGN MODE: VERY SMALL FONT SIZE

    WE just bought CS3 and when I open my Dreamweaver 8 html
    files the font sizes are all over the place. I use size 2 for my
    titles and size 1 for some of my copy. While in Design mode, the
    size 2 type is not readable. I checked my settings and everything
    is accurate. Funny thing is...when I preview in my browser the page
    is fine. I have built 5 divisional websites and I'm on the last
    one! I have been using these settings for years and now I can 't
    edit unless I use the magnifying glass. Is this a bug in CS3?
    Anyone else have this problem?
    I initially created these on a Mac in DW8, and we just
    switched over to PC's when we got the CS3. I don't see where this
    should be a problem since I have worked on these sites on both
    platforms. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED!!!!

  • Lost my extra small font size when i updated the p...

    was wondering how i could get my extra small font back. it was gone after a phone update a friend did on the n5310

    In addition to Jay's suggestion,
    Open TextEdit Preferences and select Wrap to Page, and see if that makes a difference.
    Also click on TextEdit > Page setup and just check to see if scale is set to 100%. It probably is. My guess is wrapping it to page should fix it.
