Bounding Box Lags Behind

Hello. I'm on PS 5.5 for PC. When I use tools that create bounding boxes (rectangle marquee, lasso, etc) the bounding box lags behind and only appears when I click off the tool. I tried to reset preferences and reset tools but problem persists. Thank you.

Bounding boxes appear in Acrobat after exporting from InDesign

Whenever I create outline fonts in my CS3 version of InDesign (I haven't upgraded to CS4 on this one program yet), I'm left with some very strange thin white lines surrounding some or all of the resulting letters that look suspiciously like bounding boxes. This never seems to occur if I don't create outline fonts, but simply embed the fonts and create a PDF using the Export command, so I have to believe the anomaly has something to do with this conversion process within the program. If I use illustrator CS4 to create outline fonts and then place them within my InDesign documents, I don't appear to have the problem. However, that's not a very desirable solution as it negatively impacts the fluidity of layouts and the ease of design, both of which I use in design for.
And yes, these small thin white lines do print, so the problem is far more than merely academic.
Has anyone else ever experienced this issue, and if so, how did you solve the problem (assuming you did)?

Sorry about that, I apparently forgot to attach the file; have done so now.
The method I'm using for creating outlines is simply to use the "Create Outlines" command under the Type menu within InDesign. Then I create my PDF files by using the Export command under the File menu and choosing the PDF/X1a option. 99% of the time I get perfect results, it's only when I try to make outline type that I encounter this problem. You'll clearly see the artifacts in question in the example attached.
I don't know whether or not the press would have printed these artifacts, as you suggest, since no printer has been willing to execute a file that shows any anomaly in the proof process. I can't say that I blame them.
Hopefully you will see what I'm talking about and can recommend a solution, though I like your idea of simply giving them a properly executed file and then telling them to get a life. It hasn't worked so far, as I unfortunately deal with a lot of Neanderthals around here, but I suppose it's worth putting forth again the next time this issue arises. It will.
By the way, no print house of my choosing is this far behind the curve, if at all. These cavemen are always printers who have long-standing relationships with my clients, and for whatever reason (generally lowest cost I'm sure), the clients think they hung the moon. We, of course, no otherwise, but it does it profit a designer to tell his client he or she is crazy for using a printer who is a decade behind the technology curve.
We cowboy up and seek solutions, eh?

Text put into a canvas element with context.fillText() always has a black box where each letter goes. If the text is black you just see the black rectangle. If the text is not black you see it on the black bounding box. Surely this is not right.

This has happened on the last few versions of firefox, as long as canvas has been supported. I see other people's screen shots from canvas tutorials, and the text always looks normal. On my system, any text put into a canvas element via context.fillText() will have a black bounding box for each letter, sized appropriately for the letter. If the text is black, of course you only see rectangles. If the text is a contrasting color, then you can read it, but it looks bizarre.

Thomas...same kind of crap here.
I used Custom Text - entered a sentence, hit return, entered another.
Set to 72 pt.
The default alignment is centred - I want left aligned text...the text start point stays at the centre of frame and the sentence runs off the edge of the bounding box.
There is no settings in the Text or Title inspector dialog to correct that!
Using Transform will not sort it!

Audio begins lagging behind video in iTunes; other video works fine

Something that appears to have started after iTunes 10.x as I don't normally play too many videos on the PC from iTunes is regarding video playback in iTunes. The longer a video plays the longer the lag between what's showing up on the screen and the audio portion. If I stop and start the video it starts off synced again and then begins lagging. If I go outside of iTunes I can play other video formats such as wmv, avi, with no trouble, DVD and BluRay playback are not affected. The video files from iTunes play fine on my iPad. I can see no obvious cause for this, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have a decent high end PC running Windows 7 64 bit, with a quad core i7 processor, 6 GB of RAM, a terabyte of disk space, and an ATI 4870 HD video card.
Thanks much!
Chris

I'm having the same problem. As I play ted podcast, the video starts lagging behind audio, and the longer I play, the more pronounced the effect. As I pause, video and audio re-synchronize.

Why does JRockit updates lag behind Sun's?

If I understand correctly, JRockit's class libraries are exactly the same as Sun's.
Sun has already released update 8 for their 1.5.0 JRE, and JRockit is still at update 6, which means that the class library bugs fixed in update 7 and 8 are still present in JRockit.
Why does JRockit updates lag behind Sun's? Judging by [url http://forums.bea.com/bea/message.jspa?messageID=600038245&tstart=0]this post, this lag is measured in months!
Doesn't the VM development happen separate from the class libraries? It should be possible to release a new JRE with the "stable", QA'd JRockit VM and the newest class library (with all its bug fixes) within a week or so, instead of months.

The class libraries are almost identical, correct. But a JDK update from Sun almost always contains changes in other components than just the class libraries. Some of these affect JRockit, in particular the native libraries (AWT, I/O, etc). Changes in the class libraries may cause performance or stability regressions.
With every release of JRockit we certify our JDK (Sun classes + JRockit JVM + other components) on a large number of platforms. We did a count earlier this year and came up with around 80 different combinations of JDK level, OS and hardware that we have to test in every release by the end of this year.
On these platforms we run a huge set of tests, including performance and stress tests. Even though a large part of our QA is automated, it is simply not possible to run everything in parallel so there is a certain minimum amount of time this certification takes. On top of that we have a set of time-consuming tests that have to be run manually.
To summarize it is simply not possible to do this without some lag. And JRockit has a much quicker uptake than almost all other 3rd party JDK providers (many of them with JVMs based on Sun HotSpot). One example is that it took IBM almost 18 months to get their first J2SE 5.0 implementation out of the door.

Video Lags Behind Audio in Preview Pane, Timeline and Rendered Video

Hello,
I'm having an issue with a six minute video that I grabbed from the media browser in Premeire and am attempting to use in my timline. The first few mins of the 6 minute video is fine, but as the video progresses in the preview pane the video starts lagging behind and finally towards the end is probably half a second behind. The mp4 file plays fine outside the confines of Premeire. I've tried reloading a new file, etc, but nothing seems to work.
Also, I uploaded another file that works fine. No audio lag. However, the file that works I grabbed from my Kodak flip camera, the file in question is from a Flipcam. The file that works is a .mov. As I mentioned, the file with the lagging audio is an mp4. It seemed to work fine before in other projects. Also, I noticed that lately that Premeire is a bit slow. It wasn't as slow a week ago.
I'm using an iMac with a 3.6GHz Intel Core i5 processor with 4MB level 3 cache, 1 Terabyte of disk space, 4GB of ram, ATI Radeon HD 5750 graphics processor with 1GB of GDDR5 memory.
I'm not sure if there's some setting's that I'm missing or what. I'm not very clear on capture settings when I open a project. When I opened the project I was a little confused about what settings to use.
Thanks very much.
Jim

Maybe - any chance to check those files on a G4/G5/Intals Mac or a Windows PC? btw. at what speed is your G3 running?

Is there a way to tighten a text bounding box?

Hey all,
I've looked before but never found a definitive answer to this question:
Is there a way to tighten the text bounding box without converting it to outlines?
I work for a screen printer, and want to figure out a way to tighten the bounding box without changing the leading and without converting it to outlines in order to be able to edit said text. We deal with a lot of clients who send us names, that are often misspelled, and after an initial proof need to be corrected. Sometimes we need to center this text to an object.
Illustrator's bounding box, unlike that of Corel (which is our primary program, and won't open AI files) includes the leading below the type, so when you center it, it's not visually centered:
So I guess my real question is is there a way to get the text centered (as seen below) without converting the text to outlines, or messing with the leading, or is there a way to tighten the bounding box?
Thanks in advance!
-K

Combat and Dandreu,
You may use this silly way:
1) Tick Edit>Preferences>General>Use Preview Bounds;
2) Select the Type and Effect>Path>Outline Object.
That will reduce the Bounding Box to the actual bounds of the letters so you can centre as you wish.
Remember to untick Edit>Preferences>General>Use Preview Bounds before you get a reverse issue.

CS2 Need to set text bounding box to snap to exact measurement, not em size and without leading

I am currently using CS2 working in a sign shop designing signs, banners and vehicle lettering.
When working with text I need to know the exact letter height, not the em and without the leading. I need it exactly the way it would measure if converting the text to outlines. The reason I need this information is that when I output the lettering to a cutter/plotter to cut vinyl media I need to know the exact measurement so I can nest my lettering on my media size. The media is typically 24" wide which gives me 22.5" of available space once the pinch rollers on the machine are considered. Pinch rollers are rollers that engage a knurled driving wheel and "pinches" the media between them and thus guides the media through the plotter. Of course, when using any media one must make the best use of it to avoid making scrap or using more than is needed for the job at hand. Converting text to outlines gives me that measurement.
One time awhile back I did a google search on this and found a one or two button fix that made the bounding box snap to the exact "ruler" height of the text. It worked great. But I got away from design work for a short period. When I returned I'd forgotten the process. Back when I did find it I never bookmarked or made a text file explaining the process and I'm ost in finding it again.
I don't know exactly how I worded the google search but the answer I was looking for came up on the first page. That's probably why I didn't feel the need to bookmark it or write it down. Now, I've googled dozens of different wordings for my question and get nothing. It's likely a nomenclature/jargon issue and I've yet to stumble on it again.
If anyone could help out I would so greatly appreciate it. As it is, when I get to the point that I need to know the exact ruler height of my lettering I convert my text to outlines. But then, as sometimes happens, I'll desire to change the font or try someting different but the text is not live so I'll have to start over with that line of lettering.
I sincerely hope my explanation of my questions makes sense to anyone who might be reading this.

Jacob Bugge, you are a blessing. This effect not only saves me time but avoids a lot of frustration when a client wants to change some copy or I commit a spelling error or have some other brain malfunction. Not to mention the sometimes hundreds of single words or number groups I must fit onto an artboard set to my available media space.
Option 2 is exactly what I was looking for and I'll remember it forever now as I've spent parts of the past week searching that answer only to hear over and over again, "You can't do that in Illustrator".
Thank you so much for your quick response!

Can you view text outside of the canvas? as with the view menu you can see animation paths, bounding boxes and handles??? many thanks

re: Motion 5
can you view text outside of the canvas? as when using the view menu you can see animation paths, bounding boxes and handles???
I'm in the middle of a text animation design treatment and unless my memory is completely failing I thought this was an option.
An example would be selecting all layers and being able to see all bounding boxes and animation paths while moving along the timeline.
Of course this could be quite a mess if you couldn't selectively chose which layers, its just with this current project it would be so helpful if
I could see the text beyond the canvas to aid in my animations.
many thanks,

I do understand shift + v " to "Show Full View Area" and shift + z to fill screen, etc.
and command + & - for zooming
what I'd like to do is selectively view, say, the text outside of the canvas as you can see the bounding box
which contains the text or object when selecting one or all layers in the layers column
I haven't used this feature in a while though I do recall using it in the past.
Any help would greatly appreciated

How can I align a text object by the visible text and NOT by its bounding box?

Illustrator CS4.
I am trying to align some text to the center of the artboard. The bounding box is bigger than the text, so when I try to align it to the artboard it doesn't actually center align the artwork as I need it to. The text is needing to be aligned with another text object, so I can't just center align the text and then align to the artboard (which would eliminate the bounding box problem, I think). To make matters worse, the text I want to align has a stroke.
The only way I know to currently align the text properly is to convert it to outlines. This is what I've done, but I need something better. I want to be able to have my illustrator file that has all editable text and then be able to make a separate identical file with all text converted to outlined paths. The only thing holding me back right now is that I can't get the exact alignment while everything is still as text.

The solution is to simple to believe and probably why you over looked it.
You make two text frames to exactly the height and width of the text. You position the text in the relative location and then group the text frames then center that group on the artboard.
Like such:
If you ever want to add text that should be no problem but you have to re center.

How do I get rid of the dotted line on right side of bounding box

Ever since I upgraded to CS5, I seem to have a broken dotted line along the right side of the bounding box of the png logo that was created for my company. It wasn't there before. I've gone back to my original back up of the logo and this broken line is in all the versions now.
Whenever I use the artwork a single dash/dotted line is left on the far right, where the right vertical line of the bounding box would have been. You can see it in the image below on the right. Its a faint white line but when printed on a banner its stark white. The line falls just above the last "A" in Alberta.
I can use Illustrator and Photoshop basics and but have trouble when I get into problems like this.
Can anyone help me figure out why its there and how to get rid of it?
I would appreciate any help!
Thanks.

Wade and Monica,
Thanks for your help.
Wade, it hit me when you asked "why is it a png" file and I realized that I was using the wrong file. Sometimes its hard to see the forest for the trees! Problem for banner artwork fixed and I have now used the correct logo file so no more dotted line.
The dotted line only appears on the the png version of the logo. There's no coloured background on the logo file. She gave me the file as both an eps and a png file. I'm pretty sure she created the logo in Illustrator. I've been using the png file for the website, which is what I thought it worked well for. And the eps one for my print materials.
I have no clue why I grabbed the png instead of the eps logo file I usually use, but thanks for pointing out the obvious since I wasted time trying to fix it and was getting very frustrated at what had suddenly gone "wrong".
I still have that dotted line on the png file of the logo but I'll have to figure that out another day.
Thanks again!
Hasmi
