Border around document problems!

I want to add a border around my document.  I'm really confused about the shapes and how they work.  I tried creating a big shape to cover the page and copy/pasting my document inside, but then the section break between the part that has one and the part that has two columns goes away and I can't reinsert it.  Please help! 

The shapes are just objects with colors and borders, which can also contain pictures.
You need one that has a stroke (border) but None as the Fill so it is transparent
Then Inspector > Wrap >uncheck Object causes wrap (which is what is pushing your text away)
Menu > Arrange > Send Objects to Background

  • Problem with white border around images

    Hey guys,
    I'm new to the creative suite and have just finished running through all of the video tutorials, etc. I'm having a small problem which can be seen in the sample site I'm fooling around with here:
    http://www.andrewedunn.com/gsd/
    I'd like to get rid of the small white border around the "GS" logo. It is an illustrator document.
    Basically I put the letters in place, converted them to paths (so I can resize it) and dropped it in my GoLive document as a smart object.
    A google such suggested rasterizing, but I couldn't get it to work after fooling with it a little bit.
    Further, if I wanted to add a drop shadow to it, how can I do it so that it is transparent on top of the background images in golive? The one time I tried it, the drop shadow was placed on top of a white background.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    Are your background images always going to be displayed left-aligned on a black background and always the same size, so that the left half of the logo will always be over the photo and the right half will always be over the black? Or will the size or placement of the photos vary?
    Are all of the photographs in approximately the same moderate tonal range, or will some be bright and some dark?
    If the background will be consistently as you show it, you should be able to anti-alias your logo against a medium gray on the left and black on the right for acceptable results. If the background is more varied, you are not going to get good results with either GIF or JPG format.
    See this related thread:

    > Further, if I wanted to add a drop shadow to it, how can I do it so that it is transparent on top of the background images in golive?
    Only by exporting as a transparent PNG, but then older browers won't display it properly.
    If you are really needing to have a logo that casts transparent drop shadows on top of a wide variety of images, you might consider going the Flash route, even though you aren't planning animation. Flash has very good transparency handling, and there are Flash player plugins that are compatible with browsers that won't display PNG images.

  • I have never used my mac for desktop publishing before and am having some problems.  This sounds really dumb, but I can't figure out how to put a border around a text box.  Also, how do you edit the border, i.e. border color, thickness, etc. Help!

    I have never used my mac for desktop publishing before and am running into some real problems.  How do you put a border around a text box?  Can you edit the border - color, thickness, etc.?  Help!

    I think the best solution is to read Pages documentation, go to Help and you have a long list of options. Pages is capable of quite sophisticated things, some features are above Nisus or Mellel, so it is not so simple to summarize things in a few lines.

  • How to to print an .indd document with a border around the edge?

    I have an Indesign document that I want to print with a slight border around the edge.
    I print this after exporting it as a PDF.  But when I choose the various combinations of 'print printer's marks' in the export settings, none of them seem to work.
    I want just a simple thin border line around the edge of the document to print.  I don't want the interior body to print (which it sometimes does).
    I know this can be done, because on some of my .indd documents it works... but I can't figure out what I did to get it to print that way.
    HELP!
    and thanks....
    jn

    Thanks... the visible guides setting change took away the purple interior rectangle. 
    But it still doesn't print the border outline.
    Here in text form is a summary of the .indd file settings that does print a border correctly, as I like it to.
    The relevant paragraph under Marks and Bleed has crop marks off... and document bleed settings on.
    I wonder what I'm missing?  Sometimes I wished Adobe just used plain english... like 'print border outline of document'!
    Thanks!

  • Hello, I have a document and it has a page border around it.. I have been filling this area in such

    Hello, I have a document and it has a page border around it.. I have been filling this area in such as a photograph that goes over two pages. I wanted to know if the items that go into the border are printable, or will there be a white border around it? Thank you in advance

    Depends entirely on the device youuse to print and the size of the sheet.

  • Expand document window to always have Nice Gray border around image

    Is there a command, or an Apple Script, or a hack of some sort (which I can assign to a function key) to EXPAND a document window so that I have a 100 pixel (or whatever) gray border around the image itself (not IN the image).
    I am processing around 4,000 pictures, and it would save me hand-drag-enlarging Every Single Window, especially as I often miss the grow-tab in the lower-right edge of the window bezel...
    Thanks!

    "Just keep pressing the 'F' key..."
    Yes, this is what I said above, and if you have multiple documents, it's a REAL PAIN.
    Perhaps if the 'F' key had only two modes, instead of four, it would be acceptable.
    As it is now, with multiple documents, the 'F' is just as bad as dragging the window enlarge tab.
    I've been asking Adobe for this for at least five years now. Given that many tools are best used when started OUTSIDE the image, I cannot understand how they could ignore this request !
    (Rant: Unless, of course, if user requests are treated internally as insults by Adobe. It sure feels that way)

  • White Border Around Template Images

    I recently created a "page layout" document from a template. This is my first attempt to use a template and it was all going well. Until I hit "print." When I print the document, the images that were already part of the template are printing with a white border around them. It looks fine in Pages and when I go to Print Preview, but it comes off the printer looking funny. What's the deal?

    Thanks for the clarification. I had a hard time selecting that white border around the photos. I couldn't even figure out what it was for awhile. I think the printing problem is related to that white border which is an image, photoBG_triple.png, that is behind the photos & their masks & on top of the lined paper image, notepaper.png. I think all that layering looks nice on screen or PDF, but could be a printing nightmare. How does it look funny? And what kind of printer are you using?

  • Unnecessary border around pdf

    I created a guide using Pages and am using the B5 size.  I had saved a previous version of the guide as a PDF and there was no blank border around the sides.  It was flush.  This showed up not only when I opened the guide in preview, but the borders of the PDF icon were flush with the sides of the icon as well.  Now, I have an extraneous border that shows up not only on the PDF itself, but also in the PDF icon.  I replaced one image in the guide with another and needed to "pull" the small boxes to make sure the image was flush with my guide and maybe this caused the problem, I don't know.  Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
    Matt

    Well, in the end, I used one of the older tricks in the book and just cut and pasted the contents of the guide into a new document and then re-sized that to the B-5 size.  I don't have any additional insight, but thanks for responding.

  • Black border around all the pictures in my video.

    I'm new to the forum here and am struggling to find an answer to my problem and wondering if someone might help me. I am using adobe premiere elements 9 to make a picture slideshow.  I have about 90 pictures, with text on several of them and audio throughout the whole thing.  I don't know this program very well, I've used it one other time to make a video.  When it's all done, I burn it to a dvd.  The problem I'm having is that when I burn it to the dvd and play it back in my dvd player, the pictures are reduced in size and there is a black border around them all (all 4 sides).  Do you know what I can do to make it go away?  The last video I make didn't have it so I'm not sure what I've done with this one.  And I did try compressing the pictures and it didn't change anything.
    Thank you so much!
    Alisha

    Steve,
    I actually went through last night and compressed all the pictures to a document size.  Some of them are smaller  (628x439) than 1000 x 750 but some are a little bigger (1024x768).  I noticed as I compressed them in the folder outside of premiere, it also changed them in premiere.  However when I  burnt the new dvd, there was no change.  If I make them smaller (for a website) will that help?  Also, is it something that I would have had to have done before doing the project?  I've already put about 10 hours into this video and really don't want to start it again.
    Bill,
    As of right now I have still images and 3 video clips in this presentation, but if it helps I can get rid of the video clips.  I've actually removed them and tried it again, but had no luck.  And I plan on just burning it to a dvd-r disc to watch on the dvd player.  What this project is is I take pictures from the last year of my daughter and make a "birthday video" for her with music and some text on the still images.
    Also, should I turn on the scale to default frame size?
    I don't know a lot about the video making world, so the verbage kinda goes over my head, but when I began my project I just said ok to whatever it opened it with which says "DSLR-1080p-DSLR [email protected]  I'm now thinking maybe I should have changed the setting, but am at a total loss for what it should be.  Please excuse my ignorance   What I'm wanting to do it just be able to play it on a dvd.
    And lastly, I can't even thank you guys enough for helping me!  I'm beyond frustrated and I really appreciate your kindness!

  • How can I print with black border around edge of image?

    I'd like to add a black border around the edge of certain images I'm printing. I know it's fairly trivial in Lightroom, but I can't see where this option is in Aperture. Is this lacking in Aperture, or am I just missing it? Many thanks.
    PS -- I'm aware there are some plug-ins that claim to do this, so if Aperture can't do this, please feel free to chime in with comments on the best plug-in for this task.

    Aperture BorderFX 1.1
    Thanks, Rich. That's a good plug-in, and does cover what I need (with lots of other features, too). The problem, though, is it requires an export of the image, which I then have to either print from another application, or reimport to Aperture to print. I was hoping to find something that will either just apply the border to the print job, or that would serve as more of an Edit With . . . type of plug-in than an Export plug-in, so I can keep everything in one place. Thanks again.

  • Can't get rid of white border around image

    http://www.gunnar.ca/laminatepage2.htm
    I created a rounded corner in photoshop for my table. I
    created a cell in the bottom left corner of the table and placed
    the gif. There is a thin whit border around the outer edge of the
    gif, so it doesn't look genuinely rounded. Can anyone tell me how
    to get rid of that so it looks like the table is actually rounded?
    Thank you!

    Because the table containing the GIF has a border. In your
    styleA.css
    stylesheet, the rule:
    .border {
    border: 1px solid #E5E5E5;
    adds a border to the table. Delete the rule. Of course - that
    may affect
    other things that use the .border class. Or - delete the
    class from the
    table tag.
    Several problems with the page:
    styles.css cannot be found
    sideNavStyles.css cannot be found
    34 vaildation errors:

  • Unwanted border around swf file in IE

    Can anyone tell me why I am getting a border around my swf
    file with it is imbedded on a Html page and displayed in Internet
    Explorer on a PC?
    The swf acts as a link, (pointer becomes a finger), and when
    you click once in the swf area, the border disappears and the swf
    file becomes active and all other links are working .
    See f.ex.
    http://www.soundoil.com
    I am not getting this when viewing the site in other browsers
    or on the Mac.
    I use Golive CS and Flash MX.
    It looks like this is an IE issue. Do you know of a
    workaround?
    Thanks on beforehand

    I've noticed, not just in this thread but all the other "10
    billion threads about this," that every single one of the fixes for
    this problem are oriented towards webpage developers -- not for the
    internet user. Forgive me if these forums (unbeknownst to me) are
    actually dedicated solely to web developers, but I'd still like to
    find a solution somewhere for this problem.
    An example of the problem I'm facing. The average Joe (such
    as myself) is browsing around webpages (including, for example, the
    webpage for my online homework) that haven't implemented a fix for
    this problem .... Thus, for every ActiveX control, forcing me to
    click it first before being able to use it. Just seeing this once
    isn't a big deal, but when it comes down to doing a slew of
    frustrating homework problems, and being forced to do an extra
    click at least once for every single problem ... that just becomes
    one extra irritant. And it's a problem on a lot of other webpages
    too.
    I obviously can't use the "fixes" provided in these topics,
    because they're
    coding fixes; I can't very well go in and alter commercial
    webpages. Of course, I could go and demand the Tech Support guys
    for
    every webpage I visit to adjust their websites and make
    accomodations for this problem. But that seems like a dumb choice,
    especially if there's a solution of some sort. Maybe a downloadable
    update, or an option in Internet Explorer's settings. Is there
    anything out there for the
    user to fix this problem? Or am I SOL? Perhaps I just need
    to "suck it up."
    Thanks in advance.

  • Thick border around hyperlink in exported PDF (in some PDF viewers)

    We are seeing an issue with the formatting of hyperlinks once a report is exported to PDF.
    The problem is that the resulting PDF shows a thick black border around the hyperlink, but only when viewed in certain PDF viewers.  For example, the formatting looks fine in various versions of Adobe (both Reader and Acrobat), but when viewed in PDF Converter Pro (our company's new standard) we see the thick black border.
    Also, GSview completely chokes and refuses to display the PDF.  Not sure if this error message is a red herring..
    The problem occurs in PDF's created by the following Crystal environments:
    - Full version of Crystal 2008 designer (even though Print Preview looks okay)
    - A .NET web application built on Crystal 2008 components
    - A .NET Windows application built on Crystal 8.5 components
    It seems that our PDF output file has had this problem for at least the two years that we have been generating these reports, but was not noticed until we switched to a new standard PDF viewing application ([PDF Converter Pro|http://www.nuance.com/imaging/products/pdfconverter.asp]).
    Initially, I thought that Crystal was relying on our installed PDF creation tool to generate the PDF, but I understand from this thread that Crystal uses its own PDF engine:
    [Version of PDF export Engine|Version of PDF export Engine]
    Any advice would be appreciated.  From what I have learned so far, I think our best option might be to find a way to get users to use Adobe Reader to view the problematic PDF files.
    Edited by: Shannon Wagner on Sep 23, 2009 5:16 PM - (Removed GSView output since it seemed to be messing up the format of the post.)

    Hola,
    does anyone know if this bug (and yes, it is a bug), has been fixed in any later version of crystal reports ?
    I am using Crystal 2008 and any object with a defined hyperlink is getting a black border written into the PDF when the settings on the control explicilty say 'None' for all 4 borders of the object. This is true when the pdf exported from CR is viewed on the latest versions of Snow Leopard (Mac OSX 10.7) on any Mac computer.
    This is a posting for a mac forum circa 2009 which still applies at the the time of my posting here - http://hintsforums.macworld.com/archive/index.php/t-106893.html
    The problem is that the PDF exported from CR is being generated with the following settings for the border of the affected objects:
    /Border [ 10 10 10 60 ]
    if the top,left,right,bottom border in CR is set to 'None', then the reports designer should actually be outputting this:
    /Border [ 0 0 0 0 ]
    if you open the PDF in TextEdit on the mac and make the above change, the borders disappear. However this is obviously not a suitable work-around for an end-user.

  • How do I put an outline border around a table i.e. without internal borders being displayed?

    Hi
    I'd appreciate some help with putting a border around a table
    as I'm sure
    I'm not doing this the best way!
    I selected my table then chose a thin (size 2) border and
    desired colour.
    The problem is this has put a border around every cell in the
    table.
    Trying to remove the internal borders has been very
    frustrating!
    Just be clear, when I say "remove the internal borders" I
    don't want to
    merge cells I just want to stop the borders displaying.
    So...
    Is there a quick way to simply put an outline border around
    the table?
    What is the best method for removing internal borders?
    Having got so used to the ease of formatting tables in MS
    Word this is a bit
    of a hair puller!!
    Thanks for your time.
    Happy New Year!!
    Ian

    Don't use the property inspector to add the border - you will
    need to use
    css...
