ArcGIS Text: what determines single line vs. single letter?

Hello! Please see the attached and notice that some text is presented as individual letters, and other text is presented as a single line (I have selected the text so you can see the vertices). Clipping mask is released, everything is ungrouped. These labels have no difference I can find inside of ArcMap10, but something is clearly differentiating them in Illy. Any ideas? And any idea how I can export to achieve grouping neither by letter nor phrase, but by individual whole word? Thank you!

Thanks; I do appreciate the input! ArcGIS is similar to a drafting program like AutoCAD in some ways, but its most distinguishing characteristic is its spatial awareness--its lines and points know where they are geographically, according to projections and grids and all that good geo stuff. Think GPS, Google Maps, etc. "Mxd" is the file extension for a map document generated by Esri ArcGIS software, a leading developer/supplier of geospatial tools. Thanks again for taking a look!

Area Text: What determines baseline position?

When creating an Area Textbox object (using the text tool, click drag a box, type inside it), what determines the distance from the top of the box to the text baseline? I notice with lower case letters that they don't always touch the top of the area box.
...Matt

...do TTF fonts have a setting in them that dictates the em box size compared to the text size...
No.
..., or is it some calculation of TTF font properties?...
No.
Illustrator is showing me the em box is 87.5pt when my text is 100pt.
No it isn't. If you've set the type size to 100 points, then you are telling Illustrator that the em square measures 100 points.
...Does the TTF dictate 87.5...
No.
...or is it somehow calculated?
Assuming you again have the First Baseline option for the Area Type set to Em Box Height, as you did in post 9, and if the value you are reading (87.5) is the distance you are measuring from the top of the text frame to the first baseline, then it is not the measure of the em square, it is the proportion of the designed location of the baseline as measured from the top of the em square, when scaled to the type size you have chosen (100 points), expressed in the unit of measure you are using in your document (points).
Who (or what) chooses 87.5?
You asked this same question in post 9 and it was directly answered in post 10: The designer does.
Said another way: You indirectly specified the actual measure of 87.5 points by setting the type size to the actual measure of 100 points, because that's what the distance between the top of the em square and the baseline scales to when you scale the em square to 100 points. But the value, 87.5, is nowhere in the font itself, just as the value of 100 points is not in the font itself.
In normal use, you don't know what the value of the em square stored in the font is, and you don't need to. In other words, you don't know how many em units the em square is divided into by the designer for the designer's purpose. In TrueType it is often 2048, because that's a nice round binary value. But it doesn't have to be. You can set Trajan to 100 points all day long; you still don't know if its em square is 1000, 1200, 1500, 2048, or anything else. You've just told your computer to treat that em square--whatever it may be--as if it actually measured 100 points.
As for font file format, you can launch Fontographer or FontLab and design a font on an em square of 1024 units if you want, and then export it in a PostScript Type 1 formated file, or in a TrueType formatted file, or in an OpenType formatted file.
A significant difference in TrueType is that it doesn't use cubic (degree 3) Bezier curves like Illustrator does and PostScript does, and OpenType can (OpenType can contain either kind); it uses quadratic (degree 2) Bezier curves, which are far more cumbersome and tedious to draw with, because they require more anchorPoints to achieve the same shape. (Ever tried doing any serious vector-based drawing in the drawing module of a common "works" or "office" software suite?) For that reason, TrueType fonts are quite commonly drawn using PostScript Type 1 Bezier curves and then auto-converted to quadratic curves. One can open an existing PostScript Type 1 font in Fontographer or FontLab and export it to TrueType without knowingly changing any of the curves; but they will all be changed. Each segment will have one handle, not two.
Something needs to be said regarding the often trotted-out analogy to pre-digital (actually even pre-photomechanical) cast metal type: It is often overstated and therefore misleading when trying to understand the virtual, not material, measure system of digital type design.
Yes, many of the terms are throwbacks to metal cast type. But the physical limitations those terms imply do not apply. Many who like to expound on the terms don't seem to understand this, and lead those whom they are advising astray. (Occurrances of this in this very thread.)
Descenders and ascenders are not limited to their corresponding lines in a digital font. Neither is x-height. Capheight (of the actual glyphs) is not even limited to within the bounds of the em square. In fact, even a glyph's sidebearings can be set to zero, because there is no metal to actually bear.
The same can be said of the user-defined actual measures. There is nothing preventing you from setting the leading (line spacing) to a measure that is less than the font's em square (type size). Hot metal leading was bars added between the slugs of lines of type. In digital type, it is the distance between corresponding positions in adjacent lines (i.e.; baseline to baseline).
So bringing up how the terms are borrowed from hot metal type is often more misleading than informative. It's better to simply think of all these "lines" associated with digital type design as analagous to the ruler guides you would use in Illustrator or any other drawing program. You set them up as convenient references and snap-to objects; but you are not actually constrained by them as you draw paths.
Look at most any normal typeface and you'll see that rounded glyphs extend beyond the baseline, x-height, and cap height; that the height of all caps is not the same, nor are descenders and ascenders. To see downright wild "boundary violations" (if that's what they really were), look at any highly decorative italic or script with elaborate swashes (Bickham, for just one example).

Trouble with auto size text in a single line form field

Hi. I'm having an issue with filling out a form in Adobe Reader on my iPad. The text field is single line. The font is set to "auto" so that the line of text will not exceed a certain width. When filling out this form on my laptop using Adobe Reader, it works fine. As I type additional text, once the field is filled, it shrinks the text font size. On my iPad, however, it won't let me type any more text in the field once I reach the end. Does Adobe Reader for iPad not support the "auto" font size in form fields? And I did check that my version of Adobe Reader is up to date on my iPad, so I do have the latest version.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Ashley

Actually, nevermind. It must be something wrong with the file. I tried opening another file and auto resize worked perfectly on it. Weird though that it works on one file and not another.
Thanks!
Ashley

Sap Scripts-printing the text in a single line

In Sap Scripts I would like to have my text in a single line. For that I have used the extended line (=) tag. But It is not working.
Can anyone help me how can I achieve this.
Actually how many characters I can put in a single line. I think it is 72. But my text is less than 72 characters.
Can anyone Please help me.

A Text Symbol in Script or Smartform can take lenght of Maximum 80 characters. Any thing more than that will be truncated even if the window is long enoguh to hold more than 80 characters. Si your character formated need to be have the PROTECTED option checked.
At Topic:
Try increasing the window size in lenght or width, If that is not possible pratically, you can try by decreasing the font size.

How to display multiple lines of texts in a single rows in ALV

Hi,
I have a unique requirement in which i have to display multiple lines if texts for a single rows in ALV Grid. Right now in my output it is coming in single line which is not visible fully because that text is more than 255 character. So i want to display the test by splitting into multiple lines and show it on output. Please suggest some solution for this if this is possible in ALV.
Thanks,
Raghav

Hi Raghavendra,
Its not possible to display multiple line in one row of an alv, but i think you can acheive it by splitting the whole text into multiple sub-text.
For example, if your requirement is as below:
Field #1          Field #2
1                    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(200 characters)
2                    yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy(220 character)
then you can break Field#2 value into say 50 character and then populate the internal table with repetative entries of Field#1 and the finally sort it by Field#1 value... as a result of which you output will be somewhat as below:
Field#1          Field#2
1                   xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
                     xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
                     xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
                     xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
2                   yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
                     yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
                     yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
                     yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
                     yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Hope it will help you in meeting your requirement.

Change the SWF loading text for a single presentation

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Presenter/7.0/WS8815BC0A-5D22-4f29-87B9-D9047B5B57E4.html

Hi,
I have Adobe Presenter 7.0.5, in which with recently updating to 7.0.7 version.
When I tried the fix of this "Change the SWF loading text for a single presentation" workaround fix, I passed to have the error:ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property ADOBE_PRESENTER not found on Pool_P75.Resource.UIText
But before this error comes, I see that the loading text is changes from the original 2Adobe Presenter" to the one defined by me on the UIText, as the fix said.
And what's happen is that the scrren with the loading text is not being changed by the learning first slide....
Is there any workaround to correct that error?
Many thanks in advance for any feedback from the adobe support team or from any other colleagues that are using Adobe Presenter (;-)).

What is single inheritance, multiple inheritance, and describe Java's notio

What is single inheritance, multiple inheritance, and describe Java's notion of an interface?
Can you give me example or reference link? thx

Single inheritance is getting features like data and methods (functions) from a so called parent class. multiple inheritance is the same but you derive features from multiple parent classes (not supported by java). Interfaces are a way around this because you can inherit multiple interfaces. Inheriting from interfaces is like a promise to implement certain methods that these interfaces define but doesn't implement themselves.
check around java.sun.com in the tutorials section, you can probably find a text that describes object oriented program and how it is implemented in java.

Convert/join multiple file formats (doc, pdf, text) into 1 single PDF/A using web services

We would like to purchase LiveCycle for the PDF Generator feature, but we want to know if it will meet our technical requirements.
We would like to convert a PDF, an HTML, a DOCX, and some custom text into 1 single PDF/A. Basically: joining 3 different files types and some text into 1 very long PDF/A file. Can we do this type of join?
Also, we would like to install LiveCycle on a central server and then call a web service or use an API where we can input the 3 different files and the text and as output we would get 1 PDF/A back. Obviously there might be intermediary steps, but in essence we need to be able to do this conversion from our custom code by calling some LiveCycle API.
Thanks!

You can use Assembler service with PDFGenerator. There is support for Web Service endpoints(SOAP). Please go through this for details : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/11.0/Overview/lc_overview_ds.pdf

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

How to determine the length of a line of text in a multi line text control

I am working on a simple widget to compare two snippets of text. The string controls are side by side with a colum of square bools in between
the two string controls.
The Bools line up with the lines of text in each string control. The Bools are used as a quick indicator that at that line point there is a difference
between the two string controls.
There is a slider that allows the user to scroll up and down, the slider scrolls both string controls simutaneously.
As the string controls are scrolled I will be comparing the left and right lines of text and reflecting the match status in the Bool Colum.
The reason I need to know the length of the line of text is so each line can be compared against one another. It is not as simple as counting the
col width of the string control and parsing the text because if there is a line return the text will word wrap before before it extends all the way accross the string control, which will cause parsing discrepencies.
Any suggestions on obtaining the multi line string control text character length would be much appreciated.
Best Regards
Tim C.

What determines when the My Timesheet item will display in the Resource Availability Page?

Can someone point me to where I can get more information on the My Timesheet item that displays in the Details section of the Resource Availability page? I cannot figure out where this information is coming from or what determines how many My Timesheet
lines you see.
In one Project Server environment, I noticed that each user had 3-4 My Timesheet line items in the Resource Availability page. The period I was looking at spanned 8 weeks and all of those weeks were in the future. I checked the Manage Timesheets
page for one of the users that had 4 My Timesheet items in the Resource Availability page. The user did not have any timesheets created for the 8-week period I was reporting on in the Resource Availability page. To make matters more confusing,
some resources only had 3 My Timesheet line items in the Resource Availability page for the same period. So it seems like something other than active timesheets for the period is dictating how many My Timesheet lines display. Also curious was the
fact that ALL of the My Timesheet items for all users in the Resource Availability page (7 or 8 people) showed "0h" for all of the periods displayed.
I decided to look into this further in a separate Project Server environment, because I didn't have access to the first one at the time. Both environments were configured to not use single entry mode and used resource plans to calculate allocation.
In this second environment, I entered hours against an administrative task classified as non-working time for one week and submitted / approved this sheet. I entered hours against a project task for a second week and submitted / approved this sheet.
I then used the Resource Availability page and "reported" on a period including those periods (20-week period total). I didn't see a single My Timesheet item. Not even any showing the "0h" designation I had seen in the first environment.
So long story short, I cannot figure out the criteria that dictates when a My Timesheet item displays. And I also can't figure out the purpose. If the Resource Availability page is designed to show planned work (either through the planned allocations
stored in resource plans or planned assignments through project schedules), what is the point of the My Timesheet values? Wouldn't planned work be captured in the project line items? If it's for administrative, non-working time only, why would
the My Timesheet items not show up in the second environment scenario? Any help / insight would be appreciated.

Hi,
After investing a lot of time i found one link which is talking about My Timesheet in resource availability page.
I believe link providing proper explanation though i would like to test it on my system.

Hi,
You can do the below to get this. (You can change the names of the function modules as per your wish/ organization naming convention):-
Step 1:-
Create function module Z_GET_SGTXT as below:-
Import:-
BELNR LIKE BKPF-BELNR
BUKRS LIKE BKPF-BUKRS
BUZEI LIKE BSEG-BUZEI
GJAHR LIKE BKPF-GJAHR
Export:-
PRCTR LIKE BSEG-SGTXT
FUNCTION Z_GET_SGTXT.
""Local Interface:
*" IMPORTING
*" VALUE(BELNR) LIKE BKPF-BELNR
*" VALUE(BUKRS) LIKE BKPF-BUKRS
*" VALUE(BUZEI) LIKE BSEG-BUZEI
*" VALUE(GJAHR) LIKE BKPF-GJAHR
*" EXPORTING
*" VALUE(SGTXT) LIKE BSEG-SGTXT
SELECT SINGLE SGTXT FROM BSEG INTO SGTXT WHERE GJAHR = GJAHR
AND BELNR = BELNR
AND BUKRS = BUKRS
AND BUZEI = BUZEI.
ENDFUNCTION.
Step 2:-
Then create the Function Modules as below:-
Z_LINE_ITEMS_GET_SGTXT (Copy of SAMPLE_INTERFACE_00001650)
FUNCTION Module Z_LINE_ITEMS_GET_SGTXT.
""Local Interface:
*" IMPORTING
*" VALUE(I_POSTAB) LIKE RFPOS STRUCTURE RFPOS
*" EXPORTING
*" VALUE(E_POSTAB) LIKE RFPOS STRUCTURE RFPOS
Initialize Output by using the following line

CALL FUNCTION 'Z_GET_SGTXT'
EXPORTING
BELNR = I_POSTAB-BELNR
BUKRS = I_POSTAB-BUKRS
BUZEI = I_POSTAB-BUZEI
GJAHR = I_POSTAB-GJAHR
IMPORTING
SGTXT = E_POSTAB-SGTXT

OTHERS = 1.
ENDFUNCTION.
Step3:-
Transaction FIBF:-
Settings -> Products -> of a Customer
SGTXT Text in Line Item Display Active
Settings -> P/S Module -> of a Customer

How can I make a form where text flows from one line to another?

I have created a fillable multi page form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. The form was originally created in InDesign, using lines for text. I saved as an interactive pdf, opened in Acrobat Pro, and created a form using the "Create Form" function. This worked great, but some parts of the form have multiple lines that need to be filled out, so the customer would continue typing and the type would flow from one line to the next. Right now the lines are individual fields. Can I easily convert these fields so that the text goes from one line to the next as the person filling out the form types?
Thank you for the help.

The easiest way is to do a slight redesign to get rid of the lines and then use a multiline field instead of multiple single line fields. If you really need to have the lines, you can use an approach that's demonstrated in the following sample: https://workspaces.acrobat.com/?d=AG6oZ3bi3DYHokxDPeWN7A
You may come across attempts to use JavaScript to automatically move to the next field when the previous one is filled-up, but I've never seen this work very well.
