Adobe Stamps Don't Place Where Mouse Clicks

Hello,
My firm is experiencing some issues regarding stamps. We've created a library of stamps for the employees to use in their documentation. However, some users are noticing that the stamps don't place where they click. For instance, a user will select a checkmark stamp, hover the mouse over a box on the pdf file, and click on the box to place the stamp. The user wants the checkmark to appear inside the box. However, for some odd reason the stamp appears 20 or so pixels above or below where the user clicks. It's quite random. And this occurs on more than one PC type (three different kinds of Toshiba laptops). It also occurs in both XP and in Windows 7. Has anyone noticed this? Does anyone know how to fix this? I have updated both Adobe and the mouse drivers to see if it makes a difference - it didn't. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Teresa

Acrobat is kind of quirky about pasting into the file. Pastes tend to be done at either the top left or the middle of the page, depending on the version of Acrobat. You then have to use the object touchup tool to move the paste to where you want it.

Type anywhere in JTextArea where mouse clicks

Is it possible to start typing anywhere where the mouse clicks with a JtextArea ? I have an application that needs to allow users to start typing at the position where mouse clicks. Be default, JtextArea starts at (0,0).

Well, this might not be the cleanest way, but you could create a mouselistener on the TextArea (or subclass it), and
1) check to see if the clicked position refers to a valid offset in the textArea. If so, you don't really have to do anything, since the basic functionality of the thing should drop the caret in just where you want it. ModelToView() will help you figure out where in the document the mouse clicked.
2) if not, figure out how many lines down/ tabs over need to be appended to the document to get the cursor where you want it, then insert them
3) move the cursor to the end of the document.
this might not be all that clean, especially since fonts vary in width. there are a number of ways you can find out how wide a string is in a given font, though.
hope that helps

Can I get the place where I clicked the mouse?

I have table with a column of buttons. I want to open a popup next to one of the buttons (using window.setPosition()) and for that I need to know the location (in pixel) of where the mouse was clicked.

Omer

Omer,
It's not possible to get mouse pointer coordinates with "click" event (actually, onAction of button). Also it is impossible to get location of button on client screen.

JList where mouse click acts like ctrl-mouse click

I'd like to create a JList where I can select multiple items as if the control key were down, but without having the control key down. I thought that perhaps I could do this by extending JList and overriding its processMouseEvent method, setting the MouseEvent object to think that control is pressed and then calling the super method like so, but it doesn't work (I still need to press the control key to get my desired effect):
import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.event.InputEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Ctrl_Down_JList {
private static void createAndShowUI() {
    String[] items = {"Sun", "Mon", "Tues", "Wed", "Thurs", "Fri", "Sat"};
    JList myJList = new JList(items) {
      @Override
      protected void processMouseEvent(MouseEvent e) {
        // change the modifiers to believe that control key is down
        int modifiers = e.getModifiers() | InputEvent.CTRL_DOWN_MASK;
        // can I use this anywhere? I don't see how to change the
        // modifiersEx of the MouseEvent
        int modifiersEx = e.getModifiersEx() | InputEvent.CTRL_DOWN_MASK;
        MouseEvent myME = new MouseEvent(
            (Component) e.getSource(),
            e.getID(),
            e.getWhen(),
            modifiers, // my changed modifier
            e.getX(),
            e.getY(),
            e.getXOnScreen(),
            e.getYOnScreen(),
            e.getClickCount(),
            e.isPopupTrigger(),
            e.getButton());
        super.processMouseEvent(myME);
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Ctrl_Down_JList");
    frame.getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(myJList));
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.pack();
    frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    frame.setVisible(true);
public static void main(String[] args) {
    java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
      public void run() {
        createAndShowUI();
}Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Any ideas would be much appreciated!Here is a hack, idea is same as yours, but using Robot:
public static void createAndShowUI2() {
     String[] items = { "Sun", "Mon", "Tues", "Wed", "Thurs", "Fri", "Sat" };
     final JList myJList = new JList(items);
     myJList.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
          Robot robot;
               try {
                    robot = new Robot();
               } catch (AWTException ex) {
                    ex.printStackTrace();
          @Override
          public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
               if (robot != null)
                    robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
          @Override
          public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {
               if (robot != null)
                    robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
     JFrame frame = new JFrame("Ctrl_Down_JList");
     frame.getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(myJList));
     frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
     frame.pack();
     frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
     frame.setVisible(true);
}It does work, but there has to be some cleaner way of doing this, perhaps using SelectionModel but I don't know about it.
Thanks!
Edit: I found that if Control key is pressed manually, then this hack obviously, to handle this, it has to made dirtier:
myJList.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
     Robot robot;
          try {
               robot = new Robot();
          } catch (AWTException ex) {
               ex.printStackTrace();
     Timer timer = new Timer(20, new ActionListener() {
          @Override
          public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
               if (robot != null)
                    robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
        @Override
     public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
          if (robot != null) {
               robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
               timer.start();
        @Override
     public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {
          if (robot != null) {
               robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
               timer.stop();
});Edited by: T.B.M on Mar 13, 2010 10:06 PM

Mouse click not always recognized

Adobe is slow to recognize my mouse clicks when selecting items. For example I will have selected 1.jpg, then get ready to work on 2.jpg, but I will have to click three to four times before 2.jpg will show in my properties window. Although I can see it is selected in the main window, any work I will do gets applied to 1.jpg. I do not have this issue with any other adobe products.

How big are your images?
Are you working with valid code?

Flash plugin does not receive mouse clicks

Sometimes adobe flash plugin does not receive mouse clicks. For example it happens with youtube old player. Is there some way to fix it? Is this well known bug or i am just having bad luck?

I have been noticing that when using the computer the mouse keeps going in places where I really do not want and just now select the sentence without I have done anything. Sometimes goes to places like bookmark or open tabs in website when I am reading a page.
Also I have noticed opened windows that I have not opened.
I have verified the sharing folder and also the remote access but it not let me turn it off.
Also I have add a password to my computer and even using the same one it looks like is not working.
The I photo stopped working, Mac Mail does not let me add rules (this is from one day to the other)
The computer is mine, the internet I use is payed by me with a password. I did not give permission to anyone to use my computer or share my files.
In system preferences in the sharing folder is showing everyone and staff.
My computer is private I do not own a company and I do not have a network set up in my house.
I had my photos removed from my computer and even after trying to reinstall I photo and fix the Mac Mail is not working.
I am receiving emails saying that I have sent emails to people that I do not know and including in a time where I am working and not using the computer.
Any suggestions in how to fix this issue?
I really appreciate.

With the multitude of issues you have I would take it to an Apple store or AASP and have them sort it out. Then I would sign up for Apple camp or one on one.

Hello
Simple problem - don,t know how to solve it.
With Premiere CC when I try to do a selection (click... drag... release the click) very often it stop way before the end of the move I'm swinging the Magic Mouse. I taught that the mouse clicking was defective and went to get a new Magic Mouse after lots of frustration. Today, I have an edit to do it it does the SAME thing !!
I was like ????#$%?&*(???
Opened all the lights and taught I've trow the new mouse to the garbage and was using the defective mouse again... no !! - ??
Actually, the bran new mouse is doing the same thing. What I understand after investigating on the motion and watching carefully my fingers !! - is that when I click I have to keep my finger at the EXACT same place on the mouse... drag and release and it's fine. If I click by pushing on the mouse and my finder is moving of a 1/32th of a millimeter, it will release and my selection will be to redo. You can understand my frustration ! - 75$ later... same problem, but I know that if I click with about 5 pounds of pressure and trying to pass my finger through the plastic of the mouse, it you stay steady and make it !
The problem is that scrolling is enable while clicking and it bugs.
How to disable it ??
Simple question - can't find the answer !

Helllooo !?
sorry but the Magic Mouse is just useless with the new Adobe Premiere CC and since I'm not the only one but can't find answer this is really disappointing. This mouse is just fantastic and now I have to swap from a USB mouse to the Magic Mouse every times I do some editing. My USB mouse if hurting my hand somehow and I want to got back to the Magic Mouse asap. Please - for sure there is a simple solution !
Thanks !!

Just started using Safari, 5.1 on Win XP. Places where there used to be check boxes now have little buttons with triangles on them; clicking them seems to have no visible effect. Help!

I just started using Safari, using Safari 5.1 on Win XP. Any place where there used to be a check box, there's now a little button with a triangle on it. The triangle changes orientation as I move the mouse cursor around, but there is no visible change if I click on it. Yet it appears that I must click on it to check, or uncheck, the box; I just can't tell whether it's checked. If I can't get this to work better, I'll have to give up on Safari. Please help. (Note: there's one at the head of this thing saying "Mark this discussion as a Question - this encourages people to answer for points and helps you track answers." I clicked on it, but don't know whether it's checked or not. That's a fairly minor example.)

Can you provide an SSCCE that demonstrates this behavior?

I am using FireFox 4. Where is the "Bookmark All Tabs-" feature. I would like to save my Tabs for a later session. The selection is not on the menu when I right-mouse click or go to the Bookmarks feature of the Menu.

Missing "Bookmark All Tabs…" feature which was in previous versions of FireFox 3.x. If you right-mouse click on a neutral part of the Browser window, there would be choice of "Bookmark this page" or "Bookmark All Tabs…". I have been unable to find it either in the sub-menu or the BOOKMARK selection from the Menu Bar.

What do you mean by Tabs sub-menu is it right-clicking on a tab ?
I know that "ctrl-shift-D" still work.
I know that a right-click on a tab gives the "Bookmark all Tabs" function.
But I would like to see it back in the Bookmarks menu. (which is its logical place)
Because today the choice only disappeared from the menu as it is still reachable through keyboard shortcut or through mouse right-click on a tab
but tomorrow it will totally disappear and personally I don't want that as this is one of my favorite functionality.
Tank you for your understanding !

Figuring out where a mouse click is under an image

I want to create a JFrame (or JPanel) where the whole area is one big gif (or icon etc) and I want to make some areas of this panel react to mouse clicks and other areas display messages.
There are two ways that I can think of doing this.
The first is that I figure out the x and y coordinates of each area and check to see if each mouse click is within that area.
The second way is to see if I can figure out how to put something like transparent JButtons over the areas that I want to accept mouse clicks (all the areas will be rectangular) and just do what JButtons do normally.
The second way sounds easier but I don't know how to do that.
Does anyone have opinions on which way I should do it?
Thanks

To me the first method sounds eaiser.
A third possible idea? Add a bunch of JPanels to the frame and have split the image into several pieces that are painted by each JPanel. Then use a mouse listener to detect clicks. (Seems easier than trying to make JButton transparent and placing it at the correct point).

Mouse clicks don't work

I have set up a menu with auto action buttons and for some reason mouse clicks don't work. I can click multiple times on a button without anything happening. However, navigating with arrows on the keyboard works fine.
Is there anyway I can enable my mouse to work.

Need a shortcut to "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above option preference" I know where it is and how to use it but I have to go through 7 mouse clicks to change it, then a few minutes later change it back. I also know the sequnce is alt t, alt o, alt c, alt a, then ok, ok. Got to be a way to make a one key short cut for this. I use a black background to reduce eye strain, but about 10% of the webpage I go to can't be send with black so I have to go into tools and hit 6 or 7 things to chnage it then after through with webpage have to do it all over at Not allow webpages to have own color. Very very cumbersome.
