Changing thickness of border around fields

Hi
Is it possible to change the thickness of the border around a database field/ text box etc? I can only find an option to choose the type of border (Single, Dotted, Dashed etc), but not the thickness.
The field that I use in the report has the Can Grow property set to True as well.
I use CR 2008.
Thanks

Hi
@V361-V361
No, I cannot control the size of the text. So I guess there is no work around to this problem...
@wickedweapon
I have just started using Crystal Reports. But it is possible to write formulae (Basic Syntax) to select the type of border.
If {Table.ColumnName} > value Then
crDoubleLIne
Else
crSingleLine
End If
If you write the above code in the top margin section, then the border changes depending on the column value.
Hope this has helps...

Video taken from Iphone vertically has thick black border around it when uploaded to youtube. Any way to fix?

I edited a bunch of clips taken from my Iphone, some vertical some horizontal. I put them together on Final Cut Pro but when uploaded to youtube, the clips recorded vertically have thick black edges and the video itself looks tiny! Is there any way to fix this? Please help!

You need to sort some stuff out.
Your source is pal 25 frames in SD
Your offline footage is HD with a framerate 29.97.
You need to set your sequence the same as your footage.
Then export again with the same framerate.

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.

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.

IPhoto adds ugly black border around imported screen grabs

When I grab a picture of an application screen (using cmd + shift + 4 and then hitting the space bar over the application), I get a screen grab that opens fine in Preview, but when I drag/import it to iPhoto, it adds an ugly thick black border around the whole picture. Why? Is there any way to stop this from happening?

Missed the Command....... I have used that command and don't get the border except when viewing the file as an thumbnail in the Finder.
Do you have a MMe account? If so upload the screenshot file to the Pictures folder and use the following code to add it to a post:
Click to View Photo
You'll get this: Click to View Photo. It's a screenshot of the screenshot and it's presentation in Safari.
So, I can see immediately from the photo in the link above that you have not used the key combi I am talking about - was that intentional?
Anyway, here's the link, and you can quite clearly see the drop shadow.

Black Border around movie in HD

I'm a newbie so apologies if this is a really dumb/basic question.
I recently edited a movie that I shot in HD (1080i). I edited it in Final Cut Express but there is a thick black-border around the whole thing, which is the say the footage doesn't fill the screen, and this isn't letter-boxing, it's a square around everything. How do a remove this? When I export it to quicktime it distorts the picture.
Here is what I'm talking about:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZ5il5ZfZ1c

It looks as if its been captured incorrectly? Are you sure you shot HD 1080i? If yes, it looks as if the camera downconverted on export and you used a DV setting. Make sure you use the correct HDV setting to capture. Make sure the sequence you're working in is also set to the correct HD format. Make sure the camera is outputting HD and not outputting DV.

Thick black border

I'm importing a .mov clip into FCP which was configured in QT at 25fps 720x540 3:4 PAL. For some reason the clip has a thick black border around all edges.
Does anyone know what causes this? And how I can get rid of it?
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
David

Thanks for the response, Jim, but I created the file using a Ken Burns utility called Photo2Movie. It's definitely 720x540. And it's not been enlarged or reduced.
I can remember having the same problem with a clip sometime ago. Trouble is, I can't remember what caused it. Or how I solved it - old age taking its toll on the brain cells :o(
I've checked all the preference settings and can't see anything obvious.

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 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.

Jpg Link - Cant Change Border Around Link - Explorer

I am creating a website in Blues, oranges, and some greens. I
have made some simple jpg buttons in the color scheme. I set the
Page Property- Link color and Visited links to orange, which is
what I want - but in Explorer they have a Fuscia border around them
which really messes up my color scheme.(only the linked jpg's not
all the others) However, in Netscape the jpg/link border is orange,
as I set up, and they look good. What can I do to make the Fuscia
go away?

Add border="0" to the <img>:
<img src="image.jpg" alt="image description" width="300"
height="200"
border="0" />

How to make a border around a pic-in-pic?

I use adobe premiere pro cs3. What is tehe best (and hopefully an easy way) to create a border around a pic-in-pic movie. Is it correct that I can't find an option for that? I make this kind of things now by placing the second clip in track video-2 en then changing the size. But there is no option then in wich i can specify the thickness and the color of a border.

Use a color matte on track 2 and your PIP on track 3. Size both to your liking, for instance track 2 sized to 50% and track 3 to 45%. The difference in size determines the border width, the color of the matte is your border color. Start with the color matte using motion/scale/position, then copy and paste attributes to track 3 and scale this further down to create the desired border width.

Border around image links

What the heck is it with a blue border around image links in
CS3???? I discovered I can get rid of it by setting the border to 0
in properties but what a pain. I also noticed tables have a 1
border by default. I'm sure there is a place to change the default
but I can't find it.
Any suggestions?
thanks,
CJ

Sure. This set of stuff:
*zeroes out the margins and paddings
* guarantees a vertical scrollbar (so no jumping between
short and
long pages)
* establishes colours and fonts etc. for the tags I tend to
use
* gives me a way to float images left or right
* defines a tag that I can use to clear floats (the hr tag,
in this
case, since I never use an hr as a visual element: I always
define
borders when I need them)
* styles the form and form elements
I customize these to suit.

Border around "scale-to-fit" image is not "tight" around image

I have a form with repeating pages that displays an image (jpg file) on each page. Each image is a different size so I need to use the scale-to-fit feature so the images appear in a predetermined location.
One of the requirements given to me is that I need to place a border around the image. Unfortunately, the border appears around the predetermined location and not the image itself. In other words, if the image I insert doesn't fit exactly into the space provided, white space appears between the border and the scaled image.
Is there another way?

Scale-to-fit uses the scale of the image and the space to change the size of the image in the best possible way, it does not force the image to fit exactly in the space if the space is out of scale with the image. So if you have a 10x1 image and try to "scale-to-fit" it into a 10x10 space there will be a lot of whitespace.
Alternatives would be to use "stretch-to-fit" which will force the image to fit in the size you define, but the image may become distorted. The other option is to use "use-image-size" which will change the size of field to fit the image pefectly.

Change the width of a field using XML

Hi,
I customize a report -set the width of a field- using XML but my
data is truncated.
Is it posible to set vertical elasticity for this field using
XML?
My XML file is:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<report name="Rep" DTDVersion="1.0">
<layout>
<section name="main">
<field name="F_1" source="CP_FIELD" textColor="red" width="0.5"/>
<field name="F_2" source="CP_FIELD" width="0.5"
alignment="center"/>
<field name="F_3" source="CP_FIELD" width="1"/>
</section>
</layout>
</report>
I will appreciate any suggestion.
Thank you

You can change the size of the label, the text input box, and the field itself (border around the field in the design tab) - however there is one exception to being able to control the size of every field individually:
Fields that have "Labels left" or "Labels right" that are also the first field in a row will all share the same label width.
This is probably what you are encountering, this is how the fields work for now, those first in a row label left/right labels are all the same width.
Thanks,
Josh
