Change font color shifts text in Acrobat XI PRO

When I go into an acrobat document and try to chnage the font color, it shifts the text and the paragraph it's in. I contacted Adobe about it a few months ago and they told me it was a know bug.
When is it going to be fixed?

Since this is a user-to-user forum, we don't have access to that type of information.

How do I change the color of text in Messages?

How do I change the color of text in Messages? It was easy to do before, but I can't seem to find it after the upgrade.. is it a hidden menu option? The gray text is really annoying.

Two possible ways are available
Set the text with and html text string like "<html>" + text + "</html>"
or get the cellrenderer, cast to the DefaultCellRenderer and call setForeground or background or implement or your own cellrenderer to do the custom coloring (this could maybe depend on indexes)

How do i change the color of text boxes and the texts that i enter in them?

I recently changed my system's color settings and now the text boxes in Firefox are dark grey. This is fine when the text happens to show up as white, but when it shows up as black, I can't read what I'm typing. (I'm not clear on what makes the difference. The box I'm typing this in now happens to be dark grey with white text.) I've tried playing around with settings within Firefox preferences and in my OS' (Kubuntu) system settings, and haven't yet been able to identify what settings exactly might change this specific aspect.

I am unable to change the color of text in an email I replay to or compose. I am on 31.6.0 release of Thunderbird.

When I receive, reply or compose email. I no longer am able to see or change the color of text. I select to change the text from black to Red (or any other color) and the text just stays black, The color seletor box will show the last select color, but never actually changes the text color in an email. Also in received email, when the sender has indicated their replies to me are in another color, All the text only appears as black. I never had this problem in the past, not sure what has happened. I did restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled and this did not change the problem.

Hello, maybe the question need to move by a moderator to thunderbird support ?

How do you change the color of text messages?

Can you change the color of text messages? If so, how?

Two colors. Blue and green.
Green is for text message. Blue is for iMessage. You can't change these, though.

May I know how to change the color of texts inside the indicator box?

Can anyone tell me how to change the color of texts inside the indicator box? I have tried to use property node but not really know how it functions.
In fact, I am writing a program for which the number inside indicator on front panel will show red color if the measured value can't reach the requirement. I am using LabView 6.1 Professional
Thank You for your attention!!!!!!

Simply use a property node with "NumText.TextColor" and wire the correct color depending on your test result.
The attached simple example (LV 6.1) lets you change it from the front panel. In your case, you would use your test output instead of a FP switch, of course. Message Edited by altenbach on 05-25-2005 09:05 PM

JSP - Changing font color

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to change the font color on a jsp page with a condition.
example: if qty1 > qty2
change font color to red
else
font color black
end if;
Is there anywhere I can put a condition like this?
Thanks,
Mary

Hi Mary,
You have to create a format trigger for your condition. Then you can reference the format trigger inside your JSP report in the <rw:field> tag. From the Reports Builder Help, the syntax is:
<rw:field id="field_id" src="object_name" [breakLevel="level"]
[breakValue="break_value"] [nullValue="null_value"] [containsHtml="HTML_value"]
[formatMask="format_mask"] [formatTrigger="format_trigger"] [urlEncode="encode_value"] >
[tag body]
</rw:field>
You need to populate the formatTrigger attribute. Pl see Reports Builder Help for more information.

Hi there Doug,
It sounds like you've enabled the High-Contrast Color option under Edit > Preferences > Accessibility (Win) or Acrobat > Preferences > Accessibility (Mac). Uncheck the 'Replace Document Colors' checkbox, then hit 'OK' to turn this off.

Cannot export text using Acrobat 9 Pro

Hello all,
I have a .pdf file that I want to export as text using Acrobat 9 Pro.
File / Export menu appears to offer this, as does the help. But mousing over the arrow to the right of the Export / Text menu
brings up no options. I can export as .ps if I want to, but not text, or html.
Is this an installation option (I checked, and I didn't see any option for this)?
Or does the program refuse to export files with certain attributes?
Or is my installation likely to be broken in some way?
Best Regards,
Adrian Stephens

You can typically use the copy&paste or use Save As. I am not exactly sure what you mean by export other than one of these two options as suggested in the complete help (I am on AA8 here). It may be that there is no text to export. A lot of the older IEEE pubs are simply scans with no text. You would have to OCR the paper to get the text to export in such a case. If you posted a sample file, maybe we could be of more help.

In Earthlink WebMail when inserting an email address or weblink, the text no longer turns blue and underlines, and I can't change font colors. IE Works.

Whenever I try to insert an email address or a link to a website, I no longer get the automatic hyperlink (turning blue and underlining). Also if I try to change the font color on some text it either doesn't change from black or it changes to a different color. (If I try to change to red, I get dark green; change to a bright green, I get dark red; change to blue or yellow, I get black).
I tried removing and reinstalling Firefox to no avail. Earthlink is clueless.
This all works properly using Internet Explorer.

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first) using either of these. While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
These features rely on JavaScript, and it sounds as though you have scripting enabled if you get (the wrong) color changes. Some add-ons might alter the way scripts operate, so a standard diagnostic to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings) is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode."
If those features work correctly, this points to one of your extensions or custom settings as the problem.
To also disable plugins, you can use this page:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Plugins category
Any change?
