Any way to outline a stroke to convert a line to a filled object? [CS4]

Illustrator has 'outline stroke' or somesuch, which lets you convert a line item to a filled object. I'd like to do the same in ID for arrow lines. Any way to kludge this?
Thanks in advance.
Aaron

Both methods work but neither produces a single object. In other words, the arrow head is still separate from the line and selectable as such with the direct selection tool. Thus pasting it back in ID and filling it with a gradient gives a noticeable difference between arrowhead and line.
Anyway, this is progress... Thanks, both!

Any way to simulate a user drawing a straight line in Captivate 6?

I'm trying to create a software simulation. While most of the user interaction with the software involves just clicking buttons and entering values in various fields, there is one place where the user has to draw a straight line from one point to another. Basically, I would like Captivate to dynamically display the line as it is being drawn (i.e., getting longer as the mouse moves away from the starting point).
Is there any way this can be done in Captivate? Thanks.

Hello,
Welccome to Adobe Forums.
Software Simulation (Automatic Recording) create slides on event based (Keyboard button press or Click on Mouse)
When you draw something it will not show you the drawing at the time of recording, for that you can use Video Demo
Thanks,

Is there any way to set "Scale stroke"

does the document have a property that can be set to true or false for scale stroke? I didn't see it in the documentation, maybe there is another way?

please consider marking your postings as "answered", of course if you get a satisfactory answer that is. It helps other users having similar issues, and helps others trying to help you.
now to your question, the way to do it is using [,changeLineWidths]

Is there any way to make lines in a picture uniform width (stroke)?

Pretty much said it in the title. I have drawn a cartoon in flash (cs4) and because of zooming in and out my lines are different widths (thicknesses?)
Is there any way I can select the entire image (just lines) and somehow "uniform" them?

you can set your strokes to not scale by using the properties panel when a stroke is selected.

Federal court website gives a .pl document which opens as garbage until we manually change it to .pdf, is there any way to get Firefox to do this automatically?

I am using a Mac. When downloading a document from the federal court website using Firefox, we get a .pl document which opens as garbage (in TextEdit) until we manually change it to .pdf, which causes it to open just fine (in Preview). It used to work fine, giving a .pdf document every time, but apparently upgrades to Firefox have removed this functionality. As far as I can tell my computer, an iMac running Mac system OS X 10.10.1, does not recognize the .pl format. Is there any way to get Firefox to automatically convert a downloaded file from .pl format to .pdf format? My friend tells me that Google Chrome downloads these documents with no problem. I would prefer to stick with Firefox but I might have to change if every downloaded document is in an unreadable format.
This is a typical example of what I get when I try to open a .pl document (the pdf version is a one page document using plain English):
=====

Any way to change names of artists more than one at a time?

I've got some AFI that shows up as A.F.I., and some AFI that shows up as AFI. There are a ton of songs with each spelling. Is there any way I can tell Itunes to convert A.F.I. to AFI?

Highlight all the ones you want to change. Right click - get info, then change the artist to what you want. Changes all of them
good luck

Is there any way to get an array from an object?

public class X {
byte[] a = new byte[] {0x10,0x20};
//Native method
public native short testnative(X b);
//C++
JNIEXPORT jshort JNICALL Java_Native_testnative1 (JNIEnv *env , jobject obj, jobject testobj)
Is there any way to get byte[] a from jobject testobj ?
Pprimitive types and objects can be get by JNI functions(like GetIntField, GetObjectField etc.), but I didn't find fucntions like GetXXXArrayField(), then how can I do that?

Hint: an array is an object.

Any way to export an outline, preserving its hierarchical structure?

In an AppleWorks word processing document, outline labels seem to be stored separately from the text. When I "Save As" text, the result does not contain either labels or indentation. Similarly, Edit/Copy copies the text without the labels. Is there any way to transfer an outline from AppleWorks to Word or OpenOffice.org?

a small message, just to give some little news. I have done some improvement in this code and the result of this file's conversion can be found in http://www.loria.fr/~alonso/tmp/vid.odt . But do not expect that all conversions will be <<so good>>, ie. there remains some problems in this code which can make many conversions very bad :-~
Note:
as I begin to understand how the main content of a spreadsheet/database are stored and can be retrieved, I try to create a small tool to retrieve this data and convert them in CSV. It may fail on some files (I have only a few files to test) and/or may fail to retrieve some data ; if somebody want to test it (and report problems) , it can be found in http://sourceforge.net/projects/libmwaw/files/ ( mwawCVSOSX.zip ).

Is there any way to convert video files and keep my project in Final Cut Pro 7?

I am currently editing a project, and have been having multiple issues with freezing while editing. Upon doing some quick research, I learned it is bcause my clips are in the h.264 format, which is not a good editing codec. Is there any way to change the codec of the videos and keep the project I have?

You might need to relink the timeline to the new media. Just take the H.264 files offline, and reconnect to the new media. If you media managed the sequence, it'd relink. But then you are only converting the files used in the sequence, not all your media.

I've been giving HD videos in MTS format and convert the for editing in FCE. Looks good in the program, but when I export the finished film, quality had been noticeable diminished. Is there any way to prevent FCE from lowering the output quality?

Hello -
I've been sent HD footage in MTS format and converted it to Mp4 for editing in FCE. It looks good in FCE but when I export the movie, the quality is noticably diminished. Is there any way I can prevent FCE from lowering the quality on export?
Thanks.

>I use Foxreal video converter for Mac to convert the MTS using the Apple intermediate codec setting and the problem is that I don't get image, just audio
My thought would be to NOT use Foxreal video converter.
Use MPEG Streamclip or Clipwrap.

Is there any way to remove the duration from the course outline in Presenter 8?

Is there any way to remove the duration from the course outline in Presenter 8? I would prefer to not have that listed if at all posible and can't find a solution.

Are you talking about the Time Remaining display on the side bar? The text for that field is in the Modify Text Labels... tool in the Theme Editor of Presenter. You can change it to whatever you want, but you may want to keep a record of what the default text labels are, as there is no restore to default option. The Elapsed Time field is what you would want to change. I have seen this modified to show no text, copyright information or other general info.

Is there any way I can convert a .exe file to .iso on my MacBook Air? I'm trying to install Windows via BootCamp but the download from Microsoft is a .exe file which does me no good.

I'm trying to install Windows 8 via Boot Camp, but the download from Microsoft is a .exe file so when I go to create the bootable USB drive, it fails. I've read some of the other threads about this topic, but I want to know if there is any way to convert to .iso without having to find someone's Windows computer to borrow. Can anyone help?

No. You would require a PC in order to run the executable which is an installer, not a disc image or an archive.

Concerning: VGA monitors using an Aluminum Powerbook G4 PowerPC 2004 15"-screen 1.5Ghz
The DVI (converted to VGA) video output stopped working on this computer after 9 years of service. This raises question 1:
Is there any way of fixing this? I've tried the usual: triple checked all vga cables & devices through trial & error. Bought a new DVI-VGA adapter. Reset PRAM, PMU, etc. Nothing works. Something is probably damaged, because my KVM switch was not working unless I hot-reseated the vga cable into it, leading to this DVI port, and that is pretty rough stuff.
Question 2 (related):
This dovetails into this: Can I drive a VGA monitor with the s-video output port on this computer. It would take an s-video (male)-to-15-pin-VGA adapter. Has anyone does this? So far, I haven't even found the adapter mentioned anywhere.
Thanks for reading this.

Thanks for the useful feedback, Knucklesmac. I agree. I must have blown something on the logic board -- because I had a faulty old KVM switch that would not switch between computers without some nasty hot-plugging/unplugging the VGA video cables. (wince!). It's like when Dizzy Dean ruined his arm because a line drive hit him in the foot and he readjusted his mechanics around the injury. I take the blame because this has been a great computer, and does not deserve any blame.
If it will help anyone else reading this thread, C2G (née Cables to Go) has some interesting ideas for still getting external video out of this computer:
-USB-to-VGA
http://www.cablestogo.com/product/30545
-Convert s-video or composite video signals to high resolution VGA
http://www.cablestogo.com/product/40971
The price range is $75-$85, which doesn't make horse sense to me for such an old computer -- which has a lot of life in it anyway, because its own 15" monitor is not chopped liver.

How do I get a refund? I have tried to use this converter to change a PDF to a word document or excel document three of four times and it always fails.. I want my money back but don't see any way to communicate with Adobe.

How do I get a refund? I have tried to use this converter to change a PDF to a word document or excel document three of four times and it always fails.. I want my money back but don't see any way to communicate with Adobe. i really just want my money back. Very disappointed. Also disappointed that it is so hard to find a way to communicate with Adobe that I have to resort to asking this question in this forum.

You need to use the CHAT link in support to reach Adobe staff. Be sure you know the product name you are trying to cancel, Adobe have lots of products, several converters etc. I think it is ExportPDF you have, most likely.

Is there any way I can convert web pages to PDF using Acrobat X Pro in Explorer from Office 2013?

I get the error message "Could not access Acrobat's web capture facility. Acrobat may be busy or waiting for input." I have Win 8 OS also. Is there any way to convert?

I doubt that PDF Maker of AA X will work in OFFICE 2013. You should be able to print to the Adobe PDF printer, though I am not sure how AA X works in Win8, another potential problem.
For a web site, you should be able to open the web site directly in AA X.
