Annotations in imovie09

Hi
I am fairly new to imovie 09 and i wish to add annotations (arrows and other shapes to my movies)
Please could somebody explain how i would go about this
Cheers
Scunny

Annotations in iMovie '09 are not native to the software. Pretty big mistake by Apple, really. You can search for "Simple Canvas" which has a set of plug-ins you can add to iMovie. One plug in is being able to annotate. Check it out!

Text Annotation Options

I am making slides with text annotations and I am hoping I am
not limited to the cartoon-like boxes that are in the text options.
I am looking for something alittle more professional, hopefully
with some arrows. Please let me know! :)

Hi Amy
There are a number of different Caption styles available. If
you don't like the list you see, scroll to the bottom and choose
"<Custom>". This should allow you to browse. If you look
where the Captions are, you should find a "More" folder. See if any
of those appeal to you. If none of those appeal to you, you are
free to create your own.
Cheers... Rick

Calling Glassfish jdbc Datasorce in EJB 3.0 with @Resource annotation.

I tried EJB 3.0 with netbeans and glassfish and "{color:#ff0000}+_ORACLE_+{color}". I wanted to link the oracle database to GLASSFISH server and I followed the instructions.After I clicked 'ping' button, it displayed as *{color:#339966}'PING SUCCEED".{color}*
But I couldn't call my datasource from the eje stateless session bean with @Resource annotation.It resulted a dependency injection exception. Can some one tell me how to do this properly.
{color:#ff0000}Thanks in Advance!!!!{color}

Frank, yes, I can modify if it is necessary the datasource but, how can I say in the xxxx-jdbc.xml not to use JTA transactions when this data source is called inside a ejb 3.0 method?
I'm using Jdev11g and the integrated Web Logic Server.
Thank's

DigitalGraph Annotation at different axis-Y level although the value is same

Hi,
I have plot a graph with annotation and I found it labeling the axis-Y at the different level, with the same value.
Please look at the screenshot I attached. I have attached the Vi too, simply run it will get the result as preview in screenshot.
So,
Any idea to fix this ?
and I need to know,
How the annotation actually label the axis-Y level ? (sometimes label at '1', sometimes at '0', a reason behind it that cause this inconsistently ? a fix setting as written in cluster should have all the label at the same level, but why it behave up and down..)
Please help .. Thanks in advance..

Hi,
Thanks for sending your VI with your question. I've tried running it and it appears to run fine with the digital input waveform you have specified. Do you have any input data that you know causes an error that you could send to me? I have attached a screenshot of what happens when I run the VI, so let me know if that looks more like what you are trying to achieve.
Also, the reason for the annotation switching between a 1 and a 0 along the various lines is because it is an indication of whether the digital signal on that line is high or low at that point, rather than a label on the y-axis itself. It shows that on, for example, line 4, the signal begins low, hence the 0 on the axis, before switching to high, hence the 1 on the axis. I'd be very grateful if you could let me know if this answers your question and don't hesitate to ask if you need anything else clarifying.

I have created a PDF and password protected it for view. However, when reading the PDF in Adobe Reader app on the iPad the commenting and annotation options are not available. Is there a way to allow commenting and annotation in the app while password protecting the document?

Is there a setting that needs to be set to allow the annotation features? I set password protection to open and then password for editing and set it to Any except page extraction, but it still did not give the annotation option

Is it possible to create a link on the content of a text annotation??

Is it possible to create a link on the content of a annotation??? Like the content of an annotation is some notes as well as a link...
content -
this is my first annotation(notes)
http://www.google.co.in/(link)
is it possible to create a link for the url given in the content of an annotation??? On click on the url...it should get opened...
please reply its really urgent....

How/where do you want to accomplish it?
Within the document? Using Acrobat? Using another application?
Using Acrobat within the document would be possible using Acrobat JavaScript. You can access the annotation objects of your document, and you then can evaluate the properties of each of these objects. Have a closer look at the Annotation Object section in the Acrobat JavaScript documentation.
You will look for the contents property, and evaluate its content. When you have found something looking like a URL, you can create a link (using the rect property of the annotation), and you have what you want; you might then think to destroy the annotation, as it may overlay the link.
Hope this can help.

How do you make superscripts and mathematics in Preview's text annotation?

When adding text annotations that include scientific notations, how do you make superscripts, e.g. "3.2 × 10^{-23}"?
Searching Help for 'superscript' turns up nothing, suggesting the command does not exist, as it does under Baseline etc. in iWork. Please tell me this is not the case! If it is, has the situation been improved in the new operating system?
A related issue: I wish to include other mathematics -- is there a way to include mathematics similar to LaTeX? Might Preview incorporate using latex code in the future, so I can easily type "\exp{-\lambda t}" etc and have the math appear?
I'm adding text annotations to PDF lecture notes in Preview, basically filling in blanks the instructor has left so students will pay attention in class, and these annotations include superscripts; I wish to format properly.
Thank you!

Once you have the circle shape displayed, long press on the border of the circle. Once it is highlighted, drag horizontally or vertically. This should allow you to distort the circle into an ellipse (or the square into a rectangle).
Hope that helps,

Trouble with "add note to replace text" annotation

When I use "Add note to replace text" in Reader XI, the note acts as if it is locked even though it is not. The Locked box is not checked, but yet the options are grayed out; and I cannot delete the note, though I can edit the text box. "Strikethrough" and "Insert text at cursor" work fine.
I am using the latest update of XI and have uninstalled and reinstalled it several times; I've also tried various older versions of XI. It happens with documents I've created or documents others have created; it happens on docs created from Word or those created from InDesign; it happens on docs downloaded several years ago as well as ones from the past month.
I CAN delete these add-and-replace notes if I receive a file with them already put there by someone else--I just can't delete my own that I am adding right now. When I send the pdf to other people they have the same problem--in fact, someone told me that in her case ALL of my notes appear locked, not just the Add note to replace text one--yet when I send it to her, on my side, I have not locked any of them.
Also, I do seem to be able to delete my own annotations I put on documents fairly recently--I have files from Sept 9 and Sept 17 that I can do this. But if I try to add notes to those same docs now, they act just like all the other ones--I cannot delete those particular notes and they appear locked.
Help please!!

You could write an html-text file that revers to the image file
after that you could even convert this html-file to an rtfd file (which is a package after all) using textutil

Yosemite crippled PDF text annotation with Preview.

In previous versions of preview, you used to be able to select 'textbox' markup tool and one-click create textboxes wherever you want on a pdf. Now, with the new Yosemite, selecting 'text' markup tool creating a textbox in the middle of the screen, not where-ever you click. This cripples the productivity of annotating lecture slides during a lecture. I don't want my text box to always appear right in the middle of the page- I want to click to place it.
Also, why is it vertically center justified- who, EVER, used vertically center justified text rather than vertically top justified text?
Are there anyways around this?

The link below provides instructions for annotating a pdf in Yosemite Preview, and additional links at the bottom of this page provide instructions for several other pdf editing capabilities:
Select and copy text in a PDF
Fill out and sign PDF forms
Add, delete, or move pages in a PDF
Crop or rotate a PDF
Add effects to a PDF

Where are text annotation tools?

I'm using Reader 10 to edit a PDF that is enabled for commenting. The Adobe Help shows that there are 10 tools under "Annotations," but my instance shows only 2 (sticky note and highlighter). I can't find a way to add or delete text. How do I find those other text-editing tools?

Thanks, George. The file is in fact enabled for commenting. The problem seems to have something to do with Acrobat versions. I post the details here, hoping that maybe somebody from Adobe scans this forum. I doubt that my experience is the intended behavior of Reader.
- The file was sent to me by a client who enabled it for commenting (asking me to edit it).
- I opened the file with Reader 7, and the file properties showed that it was *not* enabled for commenting.
- A colleague who received the same file opened it in Acrobat Pro 10 and found that it *was* enabled for editing, as the client claimed.
- I downloaded and installed Reader 10 and opened the file. The file properties showed that it *was* enabled for commenting. (Note that this is the same file that Reader 7 said was not enabled for commenting.) However, in Reader 10, only the highlight and note tools were offered (not any text editing tools).
- So I moved the file to another computer that has Acrobat Pro 10 installed and opened it. Acrobat Pro 10 showed that the file is enabled for commenting and the full range of text editing tools is available.
In short, Reader 7 and 10 screwed up.

Sticky Note (Text annotation)

Hello,
I decided to add some sticky notes (text annotation) in my pdf document and I was surprised to see that the sticky notes were not printed. I used the "Document and Markups" option for the print and even in the print preview the Sticky Notes were not present.
Regarding the PDF Reference a sticky note is a Markup so it has to be printed.
Is it a bug? A normal behavior?
While I select the "Print notes and pop-ups" option in the Preferences - Commenting then the Sticky is printed (but also all notes and pop-ups

The Preferences > Commenting > Print notes and popups option takes priority when printing sticky notes - if it's deselected, they don't print at all. If it's selected, sticky notes will print in whatever state they're in (collapsed or open) provided they don't have a non-print attribute set against them.
Most people don't want stickies to print, as by their nature they are either collapsed (hence meaningless on paper) or will obscure some other part of the page. Text markups, stamps etc. can be printed without such issues, hence the above preference defaults to off.

Preview Text Annotation

It seems that the flow of adding text annotations to pdf files on preview has changed on Yosemite. Instead of allowing the user to place a text box with the cursor and then begin editing, the behavior has been updated with placing the textbox automatically. I can't seem to find any options to change this behavior to the way that it was back in OSX Mavericks, but does anyone know of a workaround?
Thanks.

I miss how the annotations used to work in the previous version of Preview!
I'm definitely not a fan of how the text box and note defaults to the center of the page. It's also very cumbersome having to continuously go to the toolbar to select text and note to get another text box or note to appear - and then having to move it from the center of the page to where I want it to be. I appreciated the older version where I was able to just click where I wanted the text box or note to appear and also being able to select text or note once and being able to just click with my cursor in multiple parts of the page to annotate. This was a lifesaver taking notes in class - now I'm missing half my notes because I have to constantly move the boxes. Very frustrating!
I used to also be able to just use command + and command - to make my text smaller or bigger in the text box - now it just zooms in and out of the page.
Preview used to be my highly recommended choice for annotating - but it's not as efficient anymore.

All Annotation options unavailable in movie created by iPhoto

I am using QT Pro 7.1.3.
I exported an iPhoto slide show to a 640x480 movie. I'd like to set it to play in full screen when opened using the annotation feature in the Movie Properties screen. No matter what I select, none of the annotation options in the Presentation pane or Add Annotation pulldown is available to me (greyed out)? I double checked ownership and permissions.
What am I missing?
Thanks!

Adding text annotation in Preview.app

Preview in Leopard seems to be missing the ability to add text annotation to a pdf like in Tiger. Yeah, I know annotations can appear to the left side of the pdf, but I want them right on the document.
Anybody see how to add text directly to a pdf with Preview in Leopard?

Yes Preview is really messed up. I can't find anyway to print a copy of my pdf WITH annotations showing up. And the bookmark implementation is absolutely nuts.
In Acrobat you can bookmark pages in a document so that you can later
easily find your way around a very large document. In Preview, it
appears that they have added this feature but it works very
differently. The bookmarks are more akin to bookmarks in Safari.
They exist outside of the pdf and they stay in your bookmarks menu
even when another document is open. This is. . . really odd. As yet
I have not found a way to tell Preview to just show me the bookmarks
for the open document. After you have added 10 or 20 bookmarks to 2
or more documents, the bookmarks menu quickly becomes useless. Also,
b/c the bookmarks are not stored inside the .pdf, they do not transfer
to Acrobat if you mail the document to someone else.
Whoever worked on this project did not see to know much about .pdf documents or how they are used in the real world.

Preview text annotation customization

I'm trying to change the following in preview text annotation:
1) text & underline/strikethru colour
2) font super-/sub-script
3) line spacing
I've read posts here suggesting clicking ⌘T to get to font menu which does come up but does NOT show any of above as options.
Within ⌘T menu, the gears drop down button does allow bringing up the colour palatte and there is also radial button choices for super-/sub-scripts, BUT none of those actually changes anything.
Any help much appreciated. Thanks.

Preview its a viewer only, you want to edit the text, use Textedit instead
