Alignment issues... CS4

Sorry if this has been answered but haven't been able to find it...
How do i align:
1. The left edge of one object with the right edge of another
2. How do i align the top edge of one object with the bottom edge of another
3. How do i align the centre of one object with the edge of another... horizontal and vertical
Yes, one way is to draw guides and align to the guides. Is there any way to do it directly with the objects without drawing guides?
Cheers,
shunithd
PS: I think this can be done in CorelDraw and / or Freehand... not sure though...

Shunith,
1 & 2: Align>Distribute Spacing (Show Options), setting the distance, Auto = 0.
3: I believe you will still have to Align centre/centre or edge/edge and move either by half the width/height.

Illustrator CS4 measurements and alignment issues

When I create any object to a specific dimension (say a square that is 5" x 5") the dimensions in the transform pallet are always smaller than 5" x 5" and never the same each time I create a new object. When I try to correct the size by typing in my dimensions in the transform pallet (width and height) the dimensions change but they do not reflect what I just typed in. If I try to correct the size a second time the dimensions finally reflect what they are supposed to be. I've been using Illustrator since 1988. I just upgraded to CS4 from CS3. I've never had a problem with inaccurate dimensions. This is a waste of my time. Can some one tell me why this is happening? Is this just another bug that has yet to be fixed? Or is there a setting that will fix this issue?
Another problem that I'm having is with "Aligning" two objects that butt again each other. For example... draw two boxes and align one side so that one edge is exactly on top of the other edge. Ok... I can do this by turning on smart guides and dragging one edge on top of the other. However, my problem is with the Align pallet "Distribute Spacing". In Illustrator CS3 you can select two objects, then select your target object to align to. When you click on distribute spacing in the align pallet the two object edges are perfectly aligned. CS4 does not seem to to do this anymore. Can some one explain why?
Just to be clear for those who like to read into things.... 5" x 5" is just an example. So pick a number. The dimensions are never correct.
I'm using a Mac with OSX 10.5.8.
Thanks!

Don't think it could be corrupt preferences. I've tried trashing the prefs as well as reinstalling CS4.
I've noticed that it has something to do with an object that has a stroke. If I create a new box without a stroke then then my initial measurements are correct. However if I add a stroke my measures change according to the stroke weight. I've looked for ways to turn this off, but can not seem to find anything. I think this problem has something to do with the over all appearance of things.
Which lead me to another issues I'm having.... What happened to the "Filter" menu? When I try to round corners on a rectangle it applies the round corners as an effect "appearance". I have to expand the appearance in order to the corners to actually be rounded. Why did this change? I want to change the actual object the first time I create it and not take extra steps. This can waste a lot of time. I think this same issue is what is going on with the stroke weight. I don't want my object size to increase when I increase my stroke weight. If I did want this, I would create outlines. Can this be turned off? If not, I will have to continue using CS3 until Adobe fixes this problem.

OBIEE 11g Calendar alignment issue

Facts: OBIEE 11g - 11.1.5 on Windows 2003 server.
There's an alignment issue going on with OBIEE calendar, wich happens only when the month is october. For all other months, the calendar is displayed properly. It does not depend on the year. You may change the year and select October, you'll get the error.
You might see what happens on the link below.
http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/7876/firefoxds.jpg
This behavior may occur when using IE9 (both using compatibility mode or not), Mozila Firefox and Google Chrome.
I've looked over Metalink and the forums and could not find any information about this error.
Any tips?!
Thanks!

More alignment issues

hi,
I'm hardly an expert - but I have made great strides because of helpful people who throw me a hint.
my site: www.kirarmerica.com
I still have JUST a FEW alignment issues. I like to have everything centered, so now I am just down to my spec sheets.
I know that they might not be configured ALL the same, but I am hoping I can change a few things
please look at Kira America | Products
click on any spec sheet and you will see that the headers menu and sometimes the footer stays centered, but the spec info jumps to the left of the page.
I've found the correct .css to edit. but I cant quite figure out how to align the columns vertically on the page.
for example if I put a margin on #right_column it put it in the right spot, but then the rest of the content jumps all over the page.
any hints would be helpful!

These changes will center content in white area
#container h1, #container h2, #container h3, #container h4, #container h5, #container h6 {
    border-bottom: 1px solid #DEDACB;
    padding-bottom: 8px;
    text-align: center;
.excel214 {
    border: medium none;
    color: #000000;
    font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;
    font-size: 11pt;
    font-style: normal;
    font-weight: 400;
margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    padding-left: 1px;
    padding-right: 1px;
    padding-top: 1px;

Alignment issues in my smartform

Hi Gurus,
I am facing alignment issues in my smartform .
My Output with LP01differs from that of Logica Printer LOCAL.Kindly throw some light on the same.

Hello,
Please check with the basis that FONT that you are using are installed in both the printers.
This situation happens most when you have imported a new font into SAP system, as a printer is not configured for that Font output differs.
Thanks,

Alignment Issues between dreamweaver and browser

Hi
Hoping someone can help, i'm trying to learn how to make
better sites with advanced tools like apDIV's but seem to be
running into an alignment issue. When I make the html file in
dreamweaver I seem to have to off set the images and div tags
inorder for the site to show up aligned properly in firefox,
explorer, etc. I'm thinking there might be a problem in the actual
code causing this but am not good enough yet to find it or the
problem, any ideas or guidence would be greatly accepted. below if
the links work is the difference I see between dreamweaver and when
its launched in a browser.

> over a centered frame
You are not using frames - that's a table.
Yes - there's a way to do this, but it will involve your
working in code.
Make your page left aligned by removing any centering.
Then position your layer so that it is properly located over
the table.
Change this -
</head>
to this -
<style type="text/css">
#wrapper { width:760px; margin:0 auto;position:relative; }
/* 760px will display on an 800px screen maximized browser
window without */
/* horizontal scrollbars. */
</style>
</head>
(you may need to adjust this width so that it's consistent
with the width of
your centering table)
change this -
<body ...>
(the ellipsis represents any other attributes that might be
mentioned in the
body tag, and SHOULD NOT BE INCLUDED EXPLICITLY!)
to this -
<body ...>
<div id="wrapper">
and this -
</body>
to this -

</div>
</body>
and see if that helps.

Alignement issue when exporting to PDF

Hello,
I'm having some alignment issues when exporting an InDesign file to PDF.
I have a couple of square pictures, touching eachother at the edges. These are aligned bang on in InDesign (the lines overlap), but when exporting to a PDF and viewing in there, it seems that some seem to jump up slightly.
Is this just a display issue or a setting issue when exporting to PDF?
Thanks
Benny

The detail is cropped too tight for me to tell how many photos are intersecting there. Is there a vertical intersection as well? If not, I think you're looking at a very slightly non-rectangular frame, if there is, then you might still be looking at a non-rectangular frame, or the frames are not perfectly aligned, which doesn't surprise me if you snapped to a guide -- I find that less than 100% reliable since CS6.
Presuming that you've zoomed in to show us the problem, that's probably a single pixel misalignment and you'd be very hard pressed to see it in printed output without a loupe.
You can check the bottom edge of the top photo, and the top edge of the bottom photo(s) for being out of horizontal by using the direct select tool to select the corner points and seeing if the y-coordinate is the same on both sides of the frame.
My printer tell me to always overlap frames, rather than butting them, for trapping, for what that's worth, but I don't always do what he says, and I've never had a problem.

CS5 HDR pro two photos alignment issue

Although I really enjoy the new tool, I'm having trouble aligning two photograph when I open then through the HDR pro tool.
Why is alignment of two photos so bad in HDR pro and perfect if you align the two same photos as two layers? I've even tried reopening the same files over and over and get different results each time in HDR pro.
In view of this, shouldn't there be a realign button in the slider adjustment screen, or options for alignment, such as Use the regular auto-align?
Since alignment works fine with layers, is it possible to have an option to use layers as a starting point for HDR pro instead of opening saved photos only? I realize this probably might not give perfect results as just fixing the automatic alignment issue...
But hey, I'm just trying to find a workflow around this if I didn't have my tripod with me at time of shoot... and I shot only two photos to composite.

Hi Chris,
thanks for looking into this matter. Where do you want me to send the files (over 50 megs zipped).. they're CR2 files...

Colour alignment issues with CP1515n

I'm having some colour alignment issues with my Color Laserjet CP1515n. Lately, I've noticed that the 3 colours go out of alignment from the middle towards the right of my printouts. Alignment at the left towards the middle half of the page is ok but gets progressively worse towards the right side of the page.
Nothing in the user interface allows me to reset the colour alignment. What can be the cause of this and what's the remedy? This printer is slightly over a year old and has only just gone through its first set of toner cartridges.

I am also having alignment issues to the same nature as the post below. I have just replaced the Black, Magenta and Cyan toners. After doing this the alignment goes out of register from left to right (left edge fits right edge all colours are out of fit by 2mm).
I have also found nothing in any manuals as to how to adjust or fix this problem. This is the second time I have replaced these colours. I have re-calibrated and taken the cartridges out several times but it is still the same.
Any advise would be helpful. As it is at the moment the printer is unusable for my job and it's the only one I have.

ALV Grid - Alignment Issues in TOP OF PAGE.

Hi,
We have a requirement to right align text in the report header.
We are using REUSE ALV GRID DISPLAY, but using TOP-OF-PAGE event - the whole text is left aligned.
I tried using Class CL_DD_DOCUMENT which solved the alignment issue, but I am not able to see the header while printing/downloading to excel.
I want the header to be available while downloading/printing the list. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Harveen.

Hi
The ALV download only the grid into the file, so not the data you're writing in TOP_OF_PAGE event.
If you need to do that, you should create an your own buttom to download the file.

Printing alignment issue

Hi,
I am using inDesign CS3 on Windows XP. On the computer screen, my layouts look exactly how I want them to. However, when I print my document, the alignments are not correct. In particular, the master page spread seems not to line up with marks that I have made on individual pages. How can I fix the alignment issue?
The printer is a HP Laserjet 9000 dn -- an industrial strength behemoth.
Thanks,
Liat.

The master page content seems to be off by a millimeter or so when I print.
The "marks" I've drawn on the actual pages are lines and rectangles. These lines and rectangles are drawn so that they fit within certain areas of the master page content. When I print, the lines and rectangles are 1-2 millimeters off from where they are supposed to be with respect to the master.
In particular, my master page contains a theater seating chart. On the individual pages themselves, I "highlight" a certain seats in the chart by drawing a gray rectangles over these seats. When I print, these rectangles are shifted 1 mm to the left, and no longer fully "cover" the seats they are supposed to, making my publication look a bit sloppy.
Besides this 1-mm alignment issue between the master content and the content on individual pages, all other content is printing just fine.
I do not think that this is an issue of the page position in the print dialog box, since that would make a drastic alignment problem, not one as small as I am getting.
I thought about converting to PDF, but: I am printing my document as a booklet. I am working with 2-page spreads, each page being 8.5 by 5.5 inches. I have been using inDesign's "print booklet" function (2-up saddle stitch) to print my double-sided booklet. I have not yet figured out how to either (1) print PDFs as booklets or (2) export my inDesign document to PDF so that all the booklet-printing properties are preserved (i.e. page order, etc.), so that I can simply print the PDF normally.
I think you're right that PDF might be the way to go, since usually PDF's talk to printers better than inDesign seems to.
Thank you,
Liat

Component alignment issue

Hello guys.
I have a JPanel with GridLayout with dynamic number of rows and 1 column. Then at each row I insert a JPanel which looks like this:
text1 = |_________________| <- 1st JPanel
text2 = |_________________| <- 2nd JPanel
text3 = |_________________| <- 3rd JPanel
and so on. These places |____| are JFormattedTextField's. The thing is that they (TextField's) are not exactly aligned, one is like 1 mm to the right, second one is 1 mm to the left. Even '=' are not "exactly" aligned. Text's displayed before '=' are exactly of the same length (ie. they have exactly the same number of characters). Now the problem is with displaying text I guess, because 'e' takes a litte more space on the screen then for e.g. 'k'. Is there any way to fix this alignment issue?

Thank you very much, it worked of course :-)

Table alignment issues InDesign CS4

Hi,
Can anybody help me on the following issues in InDesign CS4.
We have an table which has 50 rows and 23 columns. All the cell contents is in the number format (example: 56.90) and are aligned on decimal point (dot alignment).
Also, the table content has XML tags.
When we export the table as PDF, we have the issues that the table column texts are not aligned (dot aligned) properly in the exported PDF file.
We used the default "High Quality Print" InDesign PDF preset settings but without "Create Tagged PDF" option enabled to export the PDF. In this PDF, the columns texts are not aligned (dot align) properly. It look likes zig zag. (Please see the below image which is not aligned properly)
But when we enabled the "Create Tagged PDF" option in the preset, then there is no issues in the column text alignment.
Is this bug in InDesign CS4 application. Please suggest.
Thanks,
Gopal

It's hard for me to see a problem. I don't see a problem in the illustration you provided. It looks aligned to me.
Also, it sounds like you found a workaround for your problem (turning on Create Tagged Text).
But, even if there were a bug in CS4, you'd have to find a workaround anyway since there won't be any bug fixes for CS4.

Table Data Alignment issue in DW CS4

Hi,
I'm creating a web site in DW CS4. I'm trying to align my table that I created for my contact form. I got it like I want it except for one slight issue: my submit button is not aligning with the rest of the form elements. I'm not sure how to add my HTML code here. If you guys can tell me I'll add it. Thanks so much!
FYI:
I figured if I add <td align="right"> and then alternate the next element with <td align="left"> and insert it under the <tr> tag that it would position the elements slightly right of left justified.

Validate your code.
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Ftesting0123.weebly.com%2Fcontact- form.html
It looks like you have 2 web documents on your page. Starting on line 56, your code contains multiple <DOC TYPES>, <HTML>, <HEAD> <STYLE> and <BODY> tags. In addition, you have content after a closing </BODY> tag. Not sure if this is caused by you or Weebly.

Table content vertical alignment issue in Dreamweaver cs4

Hello,
I can't figure this one out. I made a sample file (code below) to debug my problem.
I have a table inside a table. Both have no cell padding or spacing and top alignment, yet, the text appears to the top but there's a gap between the top of the cell and the text. Has anyone had that problem ? Same issue when I place a picture in the table, even if the pictute is 100px X 100px and the table size the same, there still is a gab between the picture and the top of the table ???
Many thanks,
<body>
<table width="500" border="0" cellspacing="0">

      <tr>
        <td valign="top"><p>This text is in a table inside the first table</p>
          <p>Both tables have no cellspacing and no cellpadding yet the text is not entirely aligned to the top of the cell/table !</p></td>
