Change the dimensions of a text block

ok, so all I want to do is.. change the dimensions of a text
block. In the manual all it says is "use the resize handles". While
this is ok it is painfull to make an exact size. Say I want to make
a text block 300px wide.. all I can seem to do is make a text box
and adjust the width manually untill I'm close. If I set a width in
the properties panel the text gets streached. If I then look at the
transform panel the width might be 120%?? is there a way to easily
set the size without actionscript?
Thanks,
Marc

Hello,
You can create your own Text Captions, but will have to create both a FCM and BMP-file. Have a look in the Gallery\Captions to see what I mean.
Another option, if you do not need the small triangles that you can have in default Text Captions (callouts?), is to create a rectangle (or oval or polygon) and by double-clicking on this drawing object you can insert Text as well. It is easy to change the fill color of those drawing objects.

How to change the font size of Text box tool ?

How to change the font size of Text box tool ?
I am using Acrobat PDF 6.0
Tools > Advanced Commenting > Text Box Tool
I need to know how to change the font size. The default font size is too big.
let me know
Thanks

I do not have AA6 available right now (I can check at home this evening). I am also using AA Pro, not Std. In AA7, there is a text box tool that is a commenting tool. When I started typing, a properties toolbar came up that had the font size and such. I haven't figured out how to get the toolbar after the fact. In AA8, I selected the text box tool and then went to view and selected the properties bar (the font size and all showed then), or use Ctrl-E when editing the text. I have not been able to figure out how to edit the text in a text box after you have created it - think it is a mental block right now. Bill

Changing the background of a text field in adobe interactive forms

Hello All,
Is there any way to change the background colour of text field in interactive form dynamically.??
Thanks,

Naresh,
Change the language to JavaScipt in Script Editor of LiveCycle Designer and use the following code to highlight the area of TextField where R,G,B means that you have to give the RGB values of the color you want.
<YourTextFieldName>.border.edge.color.value = "R,G,B";
For eg:- If you have a textfield with name TextField1 then this will highlight the TextField1 area in red color.
if ((TextField1.rawValue==null) || (TextField1.rawValue==""))
TextField1.border.edge.color.value = "255,0,0";
You can use this on exit event of Textfield1 or at the submit button where you check the form data.

Can you change the color of selected text in word?

I use Word 2010, and when I select text it is always blue, is there a way to change the color?

I use Word 2010, and when I select text it is always blue, is there a way to change the color?
My earlier posting was an error.
I apologize.
You seem to be saying that the default colour for text is blue.
You need to change:-
Normal.dotm
- to change the default colour of text.
In order to change the default colour of text take the following steps (that were tested on Windows 7 and Office 2007 - the process should be
similar, if not identical, for yourself):-
1. Open a new blank document (this should
have the default text as blue).
Save that document with a new name for example:-
c:\word\testing_aug_25_2014_2
2. In the above document:-
Insert tab
Text group
Click on the drop down arrow to the lower right of:-
Quick Parts
- then click on:-
Field . . .
The:-
Field
- window should open.
3. In the:-
Field
- window in the field called:-
Field names:
- scroll down to:-
Template
- and click on that option so that it's highlighted in blue.
Now, towards the top right hand corner of the same window, click in the box called:-
Add path to file name
- so that it has a tick (check mark) in that box.
Click:-
OK
The file name of the template should now be inserted into your document.
On my machine this was:-
C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\Normal.dotm
The above path might be different for you.
4. I saved my document at this point.
5. Now open the file called:-
C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\Normal.dotm
A document should open on your screen (still with blue text) and with:-
Normal.dotm
- in the middle of the Title Bar at the top of the screen.
Highlight all of the text in the document so that it's (for example) black.
Save the file.
6. Close all open documents in WORD and
close WORD itself.
7. Now open a new document and its default
text should be set to the colour that you applied at step 5. above (I used black at that point).
Does that resolve your problem?

Is it possible to change the dimension order when extracting data from HFM?

Hello,
When accessing Consolidation/Extract/Data is it possible to change the dimension order of the extract rather than extracting the standard order?
I can see you can change the dimension order visually by going to "Reorder dimensions" but this does not carry through to the actual extract.
If its not possible using this method is there another method? Trying to avoid using smartview for this purpose.
Many thanks and kind regards,
Rich

Hi,
No, it is not possible to change the order type.

How to change the font size of text element in smartform

Hi
i want to know how to change the font size of text element in smartform
regards
Gincy

Hi
You can create Smartstyles, in which you can define paragraph formats for texts and character formats for character level changes.
Paragraph format ---> alignment, font size etc
character format for ---> superscript, subscript.
After creating, in your smartform, there will be a option in the text element to enter a style.
You give the created style and you can use the paragraph and character formats i that style.
Hope this is clear..

Click on each field and the choose Properties from either File menu (or if on Mac hold dow mouse button until context menu appears choose properties)
go to Font
choose desired size and type font,you can choose to make this the default.
Do this with each field.
Or if you have a lot of fields:
while one is selected select all of them
then go to fonts in properties
change Font and size and make default.

How do I change the dimensions of an image? The Image Size dialog box will not allow me to change it

How do I change the dimensions of an image? The Image Size dialog box will not allow me to change dimensions. I am taking an online class and the Image Size dialog box looks different than the one I am seeing in Photoshop CC. It has the option to change the dimensions.

When you say chage the dimentions, do you mean crop the image and adjust the size of the image at the same time, or do you mean you want to just resize the image? Can you post a screen shot of what you're trying to do?

Create an mp4 from mov without changing the dimensions

I am working on a project in InDesign that needs to output to DPS.
I take screen capture movies which are saved in the default mov format. These movies are 700 px x 400 px. That can't change.
I need to convert the mov to an mp4 to add to ID for DPS.
I open Adobe Media Encoder but I am confused as to how to set the output controls.
I don't want to change the dimensions.
What setting will convert the mov to mp4 without changing the dimensions?

Does this help?

Ibooks changes the dimensions of cover image

I have been working on an epub using Calibre as the converter platform. I have used the program in the past and it always works until now. I am working on a new book and the cover image dimensions are changed in iBooks. The image looks correct when I view it in an image viewer.
I have revised the cover image several times to change the dimensions, change the file size, modify the pixel count. The current dimensions are 1500 by 2400 pixels which is a size I have used before. The file size is 226kB. Any suggestions on how to get the cover image to show up correctly?

You don't think it would be that hard to get ACR to better match the in-camera engine...
I understand if its not able to read the "special" in camera user settings, such as increase saturation, etc as that may be proprietary...
But it (ACR) already knows what type of camera you are using... It would be nice if Adobe would make it at least set to better match the out-of-box camera settings per camera... it would be a much better starting point than the flat, discolored images I see, IMHO.
Example... the reds in my Rebel XT RAW's always come up orange, both in LR and ACR.
