Cannot close nor reduce size of working document window.

Illustrator CS3 on Mac OS X 10.5.5. Somehow my window has become large enough to cover the entire screen to where the red/yellow/green dots in the upper left corner are covered by my Apple menu bar and the square in the bottom right corner used to click and drag for resizing no longer has the diagonal lines across the lower half and will not allow me to use that function. Every new and existing document window opens in this size and format. Adobe will not help because it's CS3. Can anyone please help me with this problem. I cannot see my palettes or panels while working.

You both are so brilliant and appreciated!!! THANK YOU. Was afraid to touch preferences not knowing what I'm doing. The hitting 'F' worked perfectly. Only had to do it twice. New windows open fine as do existing. Many thanks to both from an artist who knows only what she needs to create and wants it to remain that way. Bless you.

Can t reduce size of a4 document

I have a pdf files to print on A4 paper, with all other printer it's ok no problem, with my printer canon mf4150 the document is so big that it doesn't fit on 1 page. I have tried Page Scalling but no change.
Tks for your help.

You should be able to click on the name "Mcintosh ML 2" in the bottom half of the above right window, to highlight it, and then click the "Minus" sign in the lower left area below it to Delete that Partition. THEN "grab" the horizontal line separating the two Partitions in the above window, by placing your cursor over it, and click and "Drag" it down to restore the "Mcintosh ML" partition's size.
Hope this helps

Cannot get Extensions with iFrames to work under Windows

Currently we are unable to add an iFrame to the main HTML panel without the Windows version of Adobe InDesign closing the extension automatically. This works correctly on the MAC.

Hi!
I would suggest the following:
Insert your Snow Leopard disk, when you are in Windows 7. Install the Bootcamp 3.0 drivers.
Then restart your computer into Windows 7 and apply the Bootcamp 3.1 update.
Then, you can try again running Starcraft 2 beta. However, you can not be sure that this beta version
will be running.

One page displays as negative image when saving PDF to reduced size in Preview

Imac Intel Mid 2007
OS X 10.5.8
Preview v4.2
I have a multi-page PDF I'm trying to save to a reduced size.
The document was constructed of separate pages, some of which were created as Photoshop PDFs in Photoshop CS4 and others were saved as PDF's from Word. After moving over the individual PDF's to the side bar, the document saves fine in Preview at full size. When I use the quartz filter to "Save As" "Reduced File Size" one page saves as a negative image and the others are all fine.
One suggestion I saw in a similar thread was that the mode in PS might be CMYK, however it is not and it is RGB.
Any help as to solving this would be greatly appreciated.

Elaborate, please.
Is there a way to save to pages out in one go to jpeg where I can adjust the dpi setting?
Yes. Build an Automator workflow using the PDFs > Render PDF Pages as Images action.
Once I have the reduced jpegs it's easy enough to reimport into preview and save as a pdf.
If the desired final output is multi-page PDF, no need to go through all that. You can do the task in Acrobat Pro (PDF Optimizer), or in Preview (Save as > PDF > Quartz Filter). If the current Reduce File Size filter doesn't provide satisfactory quality, use ColorSync Utility to duplicate it (or make a new filter from scratch) and adjust it to fit your needs.

The root cause for the case that "cannot close labview-generated exe file"

Hi All, I have a big program including a lot of things. When I converted it to an exe file, it cannot be closed properly. I used to load the dynamic vi in this program and cannot close it by clicking "X" of the window. Now I have removed that dynamic load but still cannot close the exe. Could anyone give me some advice? Thank you!

Hi Freelance_LV, thank you for your advise, here is a program for a USB dongle. Here are the answers:
for now, questions:
1. how are you closing the EXE? Panel close (X) on the top right corner/stop or exit button on the GUI?
[A] I use (X) on the top right corner but it did not work. But when I use exit button on the GUI it worked.
2. Or are you using a FP Close invoke node?
[A] No
3.how are you handling the event for Panel close or for Stop/exit button?
[A] events are inside a sequence frame
how many loops are running in parallel inside the EXE?
[A] It is hard to tell. I am not the original creator of this code, but the main structure is this: a big "for" loop, inside there are some sequence frame, and some events in one of the frame.
how are you stopping those loops when the panel is closed or a Stop/Exit button is pressed.
[A] the main loop inlcudes some events, sequence frame, and something like this. And there is a subvi from some previous people's work to close USB.
have you checked if all the loops are closing when you stop the EXE?
[A] Sorry I don't know how to check all the loops are closed.
does this work well when you run the source code?
[A] yes source code can be always be closed well.
have you checked for any errors when yuo stop your EXE?
[A] sorry I don't know how to check for errors?
when you say it cannot be closed properly, there could be two things:
1. the front panel/GUI does not close and it stays there. you cannot perform any GUI actions, or it seems to have hung.
[A] Yes GUI still there. But cannot perform any GUI actions.
2. the GUI closes but you can still it in the task bar below, you will have to use the Task manager to force close the executable.
[A] Not this case.
Thank you very much!

Size of new document on screen

I use InCopy every day, and one thing that annoys me to no end is when I create a new document or open an existing document on my beautiful 20" iMac, by default the document occupies a window that spans my entire screen. That's not very conducive to multi-tasking. So, each and every time, I resize the window. Is there a hidden setting somewhere to change the size of InCopy document windows by default? To have it take up half a screen instead of the entire screen? Like every other Mac application out there?
Oh, and I'd also rather open my documents in Story mode rather than Layout mode. Is there a way to make Story mode the default view?
Thanks.
InCopy CS3 Version 5.0.4
Mac OSX 10.4.11
Intel iMac

Stephen,
Take the following steps to address the question about the default view:
1. Start InCopy CS3. Do not open a document
2. Go to the View Menu
3. Select 'Story View'
4. Open an InCopy article
It should open in that view.

Document windows open full screen

Hi,
Trying to avoid using the application frame as I don't like the way it stays open and visible when all Dreamweaver documents are closed (even if DW is in the background.) So I have Application Frame (under Window menu) deselected...but everytime I open an html page to edit it opens the full width of the screen. Anyway to set Dreamweaver to remember how wide windows were previously and have them open to that width which I set?
Thanks,
Rick

It seems strange though that Dreamweaver would assume I want to see a web page full screen...
Dreamweaver CS6 introduced the Application Frame to bring it into line with other Creative Suite programs. Some Mac users like it. Others loathe it with passion. If you don't like the way Dreamweaver now works, submit a feature request as I suggested earlier.
However, I have discovered a way to get the Mac version of Dreamweaver CS6 to open files at a smaller size. Whether it suits your preferred workflow is a different matter.
Turn on Application Frame and resize Dreamweaver so that it doesn't fill your monitor. Go to the Dreamweaver menu, and select Preferences. In the General category, deselect the option to open documents in tabs.
Now when you open a document, it will be floating, and will be only large enough to fit in the resized Application Frame. You won't be able to access other programs or files behind the Application Frame unless you minimize Dreamweaver. But if you locate the Application Frame away from other documents that you might want to access, it will give you freedom to switch between programs and keep the size of the Document window more manageable.
Of course, it's not exactly what you want, but it might make your workflow a little easier.
By the way, this is a user-to-user forum, not Adobe support. So, if you want Adobe to take notice of your requirements, use the form I suggested earlier.

[OSX.4,DW8] Document window goes blank!

Hi,
When I resize or click on the file transfer button, my
working document window goes blank! I have to play with the sizing
handle to get it to refresh to get it to render to the sceen again.
Any clues?
Ted

Yes. Not using the Start Screen will cause DW to always open
with a blank
file. It's up to you. I prefer the start screen.

How can one resize a inDesign Document Window without moving Document's position?

I've searched high and low for an answer to this habit that inDesign has. Am I the only one that finds this annoying?
You go to adjust the size of your document window to move it out of the way to get to something else on your desktop, and instead of keeping the document in place and just resizing the window, it moves the document with the resize. Not sure if I'm putting this in a way that people can understand me. Say I have two inDesign files open side by side and I zoom in on an area and adjust my view of the page. Then I go to the other inDesign document and adjust the view by grabbing the bottom right hand corner of the window and moving it to where I want it. The whole document then moves with it! I desire it not to, so now I have to waste time by using the hand tool to move it back into place. Illustrator doesn't act like this. Photoshop doesn't act like this. Only inDesign. Does this harken back to the PageMaker days? Am I missing a preference somewhere I need to change? Or is it just the way of things and I'm stuck with it?
Currently using inDesign CS5 and CS6 on a Mac in OS 10.6.8

Hi,
The simplest would be to set the application preferences in the script.
Like this :
-- *** set prefs ****
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
      activate
      set oldPrefs to its preferences
      copy oldPrefs to tPrefs
      tell tPrefs
            set old version warning to false --doesn't show the old version warning alert
            set converted file suffix to true -- append “[v6.0]” to documents converted from older formats
            set locked file warning to false
            set paint reduction warning to false
      end tell
      set preferences to tPrefs
end tell
-- *** end set prefs ****
--**** your script, example ***
set tfiles to choose file with multiple selections allowed
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
      repeat with i in tfiles
            open i
            tell front document
                  -- do something
            end tell
      end repeat
end tell
--**** end your script ***
-- *** reset prefs ****
tell application "AppleWorks 6" to set preferences to oldPrefs

When I open Pages, it opens all previous documents. But I cannot close them:if I try, the program crashes

Hello everyone.
Since middle february, Pages has not been working properly.
When I start the program, it opens by default a blank page. That was fine until recently. I would simply close it and open my desired document. But now I cannot close the blank document: if I do it, the program crashes.
I have bypassed the problem by simply minimizing the blank one and going along with my own documents... Unfortunately now the problem has increased, as it will not close any document.
Therefore when I start the program, it will re-open all the documents and it will crash all the time I try to close them.
Also, It will not let me save them or turn themm to PDF.
What can I do ?
I have also removed the previous software and I bought (again) Pages on the App Store last week... results: NONE!! it still won't work.
HEEEELLLPPPPP
thank you
jack

Hello
I was warned of your problem by Jerrold.
As I'm really besy this evening, I didn't read carefully the available message.
What you get is a Lion's feature named "Resume".
If you dislike me (as I do but I don't feel useful to rant against it) there are several ways to get rid of it.
(1) In theory, it's sufficient to uncheck a box in the General System PrefPane.
I wrote « in theory » because, at least in the French version this feature is broken.
(2) Some third party tools are delivered to rule the feature's behavior for each application.
Here are two free ones :
Lion Tweaks ( http://ifredrik.com/applications/ )
TinkerTool ( http://www.bresink.com/osx/TinkerTool.html )
(3) As none of them apply on my French System, I designed a home made brute force tool.

I'm sur that Jerrold will do that with a better English.

'Font contains bad/Widths' and 'Cannot find/create font' errors when saving pdf as Other Reduced Size PDF

I am exporting .indd files from within Indesign as pdf files, opening in Acrobat Pro XI. I have no trouble creating the initial pdf file, however, when I go to Save Other > Reduced Size PDF I get error messages. Depending on the file, I receive either the message, "The font (Myriad Pro) contains bad/Widths" replacing the text with dots or "Cannot find or create the font (Helvetica) Some characters may not print or display properly" replacing text with dots or boxes.
My confusion is that the file is exporting to pdf from Indesign without error, it is only when I try to Save Other> Reduce Size PDF that the error occurs.
Also, it is only occurring on five out of 120 pages. These same fonts are on other pages and I have no trouble at all with exporting or Reduce Size PDF.
More frustrating is that I have never had this problem occur in all my previous versions of Acrobat using the same process and typefaces.
I am reaching deadline on this and cannot find a solution other than to reload Acrobat 9 and ditch this upgrade.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I, too have experienced this issue. Upon export from INDD CS6, I see the error message "The font 'IXWIPX+SourceHanSansSC-Bold' contains bad \Widths."
The only items on the single-page InDesign document I'm trying to export are copies of a one-page PDF (which was extracted from a longer PDF, arranged into a cover format). I can provide all files as necessary. The longer document that the one page came from also experienced an error when I tried to print to Adobe PDF. While I still get a PDF of the cover on export, despite the "bad \widths" message, it won't print from certain machines. I get nothing (not even an empty shell file) from the attempt to print the larger document (where the cover elements came from) to PDF.
I can deal with these issues with a few unorthodox workarounds, but wanted to offer comments or volunteer to help test fixes if possible.
For the record, I'm really not enjoying Acrobat XI. It doesn't seem to have much by way of new features (at least not that I use), and some of those I used most in version X are gone or less functional. Common fonts like Times New Roman are often not found (even though they are definitely on my system); I have a much harder time editing text through the new interface, and I have a few other small gripes—some that I don't have time to get into, others that wouldn't really matter, except that they weren't a problem until I "upgraded." Just sayin'.
Thanks for listening.

Can I preset the default save feature in Acrobat 10 to save a MS Word document as a "REDUCED SIZE PDF"?

I use MS Word for Mac 2011 to create documents and quotations. I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.12 on a MAC. I want to save the MS Word file as a "REDUCED SIZE PDF" first, without having to first save it as a normal PDF, then re-save it as the reduced size. How would I do this?? Can this be preset as my default>

You cannot. Because this option both takes much longer and reduces the quality of files, it has to be chosen specifically.
In any case, when you save a PDF file from Word. this process does not involve Acrobat or Adobe software in any way.

Reducing size of PDF not working

Does anyone know why when trying to reduce a PDF by selecting Save As then choosing Reduced Size PDF wouldn't work on certain documents. I did several PDFs and it worked fine.
I have a bunch more that are over 1 MB and are too big to be emailing so I need to make them smaller. Some appeared to work but the size didn't change others I get a box that pops up with a Conversion Warning... An error was encountered while saving the document.
Thanks

Try File menu >Save As... > Otimized PDF
When Optimizer open click Fonts Tab.
See how many copies of each font style (Bold. Italic, Bold Itallic, etc) yu have.
Remove all copies except one (example if you have 5-6 copies of Helvetica Italic which is frequently Possible) remove all copies except one.
I seen cases in PDF I have created where had as many as 6-7 copies of the same font version in the same PDF and maybe multiple font versions often reducing the size by as much as 75%. (Not usually But havehad it happen.)
Also click on the Tab for pictures unless you plan on printing a business report, 200dpi/ppi is the most you should use.
Save as a slightly different version. Open new version and check the size.

1036601 - Cannot close row in PurchaseSales order documents

Hi All,
while closing a row of SO manually, we are getting an error message , "Document rows cannot be closed concurrently with the other document modifications you have made
[Sales Order - Rows - Row status]".
I checked sap note and not sure what the solution says. The solution from sap note is mentioned below;
Solution
Workaround: Add the new row at the end of the document.
Can Any one please explain??
Thanks,
Joseph

Hi Joseph,
The solution provided in the note is only a work around. Simply speaking, that is because there might be a bug in the application that you have to add a new row to close the document.
Thanks,
Gordon
