Create outline on text with space problem

I have been askd to make some buisnescard for a friend
and he have chosen the font Cloister black http://www.dafont.com/cloister-black.font
So i have set up the cards in ID (cs5) an trying to export them to pdf but gets the allert that the font cant be embede in the PDF so afte googling the problem i found out the outline part and hvae tryd to use that but keeps getting the alert when exporting to PDF.
I then have tried to truble shot a litte and found out that it happens when i have a space in the text. I Have to write (on a path) "Pub & Bar" on the cards with that font and if i remove thae spaceses the alert goes away.
Is ther anny way to get around this problem ?? ( I know i can replaces the spaces with spaces frome another fonttype but is ther anny smarter way to get around this annoying problem )
I can understand that ID cant outline a space but i almost see this problem as a bug ?

This is the second time in a week that a problem embedding a Dieter Steffmann font has come up.
For what it's worth, Herr Steffman does not license his fonts for commercial use, though many of them are digitized versions of old metal faces that don't have a large enough market for the foundries that made them (if even still in business) to release their own digital versions. That's not the case, however, with Cloister Black. There is a digital version from Bitstream with proper license provisions here: http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/bitstream/cloister-black/

TS4268 Since upgrading to iOS 7.0, my friend can no longer text me. I get all other people's texts with no problem. I can text her, she can't text me. It bounces back to her phone as "message undeliverable". Does anyone know what to do about that?

How do I create self-writing text with overlaps?

I've tried having a look around online and searching on here without much luck.
I'm new to after effects and I've managed to create a basic self-writing text effect from videos online using a path and stroke technique, but there is a problem with using this technique for what I want. The text I am using has overlaps, where there are intersections, meaning that when I stroke through this area it shows chucks at the side of that line of text from the intersecting line (see below)
I think the solution is to use a variable width stroke, where I can set the width correctly for each part of the path, but I don't seem to be able to find how to do this on CS6. I only seem to be able to define a width for the entire path at the same time

Take a close look at this project. It's part of an upcoming tutorial on animating text and masks. Maybe the project will help. It's saved as a CC.
Note: Dropbox will probably add a .txt extension to the file so just remove it so it just says ScriptWriteOnText_CC.aep and it should open just fine.
The procedure was to create a text layer, then convert the text to a shape, then add a solid with stroke below the shape. I then animated the end of the Stroke with stroke set to On Transparent. I used the shape layer as a track matte to trim the stroke to the exact shape of the text converted to shape layer. I then added and animated the masks on the track matte layer. Each mask was changed to subtract and as I scrubbed through the timeline I added as many masks as I needed to clean up the crossing lines.
There are many ways to do this. You could split the layer at the cross over, work the other way around, use Paint, but the idea is always the same and it's tedious, especially if there are a lot of crossing points. You could even create your text layers in Illustrator, convert the text to outlines, then divide up the segments of the letters and sequence them in After Effects.
The faster you make the animation the easier it is to hide the crossing problems. For example, it only takes me about 3 seconds to sign my full name and with a signature that is that fast you could get away with a lot.

How can I create transparent animated text with Motion and Final Cut Pro?

Hi all,
I am trying to replicate an effect that a previous video editor did in a project, but I can't contact them.
They made animated text in Live Type, and saved it as a QT movie. When this text is placed over existing video in the FCP project, the text is "transparent", basically it acts like text created in FCP (You can see the background image behind the text, like through the middle of the letter "o").
I have made some animated text in Motion, but when I save it as a QT movie, and bring it into FCP, the whole 1280x720 screen is covered by this movie, and I have to crop it so it does not cover the background image. It is all black except for the text. And of course the text is not on a transparent layer. Any ideas how I can create this effect with animated text? I've tried messing with transparency and overlay settings, nothing seems to work.
Running latest version of Final Cut Studio...
Thanks
Dave

Just bring the Motion (.motn) project into FCP and lay it over your clip.
The QT you're exporting has to carry the alpha channel (animation codec, million+ colors), but don't waste your time/disk space with that. Just bring the motion project into FCP.

Filename with space problem

Does anyone know why this code is giving me to save the file with the wrong filename? It converts spaces to + signs.
Currently it gives the filename: "test+filename.abc"
The variable resourceName is: "test filename.abc" (<-- this is required filename)
IWDResource resource = WDResourceFactory.createResource(baos.toByteArray(),"test filename.abc",WDWebResourceType.UNKNOWN);
String url = resource.getUrl(WDFileDownloadBehaviour.AUTO.ordinal());
String resourceName = resource.getResourceName();
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(url,"download").show();

Hi Tom,
I know exactly what you are looking for.
I have implemented it in my web dynpro application.
Here is the code which you can write in action handler of the download button:-
This will open up a pop-up window asking user to Open/Save As/Cancel type of dialogue.
And you need to perform String manipulation on "p_FileName" to remove all the leading, trailing and intermediate spaces in filename.
     try {
          //Get Url connection and inputStream
          l_url = new URL("<URL STRING>");
          l_urlConnection = l_url.openConnection();
          l_inputStream = l_url.openStream();
          //fill up byte array
          int l_int_arraySize = l_urlConnection.getContentLength();
          l_byteArray = new byte[l_int_arraySize];
          l_dis = new DataInputStream(l_inputStream);
          l_dis.readFully(l_byteArray);
          //reset buffers
          l_inputStream.close();
          l_dis.close();
          //Set the Resource for file
          l_resource = WDResourceFactory.createResource(l_byteArray, p_FileName, WDWebResourceType.UNKNOWN);
          l_byteArray = null;
          //Get the url of created resource
          l_str_url = l_resource.getUrl(WDFileDownloadBehaviour.ALLOW_SAVE.ordinal());
          //Call external window passing the above url
          l_win_MultiFileWindow = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(l_str_url);
          l_win_MultiFileWindow.show();
     catch (Exception e) {
Hope it helps.
Let me know in case you need more information.

I created a sync account with no problem, but then when I try to use it, it keeps telling me I have the wrong password or user name, even after I changed the password. It did this after I created a new account, too.

Every time I try to use my sync account, it informs me that "Sync encountered an error while connecting: Incorrect account name or password. Please try again." I tried changing my password. I even made a new account. It still does the same thing.

If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Replacing Text with Spaces

What is the fewest lines of code needed to transform:
'this is a test--have a look'
with
'this is a test'
the idea is to find the '--' in the string and blank out everything after that.

Good point - let me explain
I don't think the rules of engagement say this, (at least I don't see it) but if you expect a good answer, you have to ask a good question. I think that if you check, you'll see that my answer completely and correctly answers the question that you actually asked. (I tested it.)
But to be fair, my answer was meant to ask to think about what you are asking and why you are asking such a question. Is your server so limited in storage space that you have to be concerned about the physical size of programs. Or is the question meant to be performance related? Or something else entirely?
But also to be fair, you have asked almost 500 questions and seem to be asking the forum a question that you really ought to think about yourself. Those rules of engagement also talk about searching for a solution before asking and explaining what you have done to find a solution in your question.

Align text between columns with space after paragraphs.

I am creating a proposal with a ton of text. I used to align everything to a baseline grid with justified type and indented paragraphs. Recently, however, I was asked to change the style to left aligned text with spaces between the paragraphs. The text flows into two columns per page, but I'll be damned if I can get the text to line up. I've tried different baseline grids as well as before and after spacing. I think my issue might be trying to keep paragraph spacing as half the leading. If my copy text leading and baseline are 14 or 7 pt, will a 7 pt paragraph space after work?
My leading and pt size is below, if anyone can point me to a solution.
Body copy: 9 pt font/14 pt leadingSpace before/after: 3.5/3.5
Subheaders: 10 pt font/ 14 pt leadingSpace before/after: 7/3.5
Baseline: tried both 14 pt and 7 pt

That's what I thought. I was taught to either have an indented second paragraph or to separate the paragraphs by half the leading of the type. Seems like it's impossible to align the text that way. A full leading separation (14 pt) between paragraphs seems excessive though.

Creating multiple scroling text on one pane

i have been using test strings so here is the panel class i have been working on

Creating Outline from textPath

Hi,
Going follow one of first sentence from "Adobe_intro_to_scripting" which says:
...Each scripting item corresponds to a tool or a palette or menu item in an Adobe application...
I am trying to discover how to reach effect which is obtained from InDesign UI: menu Text:create outline.
I mean situation when there is some text on path typed (any splineItem as a parent) and is selected as an item (not using text tool).
In UI: to create outline at this point means to create compound path from entire text and to remove a splineItem.
In script code: app.selection[0].createOutlines() gives error, cause this method is not available for splineItem.
One can create outline from text's on path character, word, parentStory, etc, but there are a set of separated characters converted into path and still anchored onto parent splineItem path.
If the goal is to have a compound path from entire text placed on path (keeping formats and effects) is ID UI only way to reach it?
or
Am I missing something?
thanks

Hi,
using false as option creates a duplicate with same properties as from GUI ...
var splineItem = app.selection[0];
var wholeTextOneItem = splineItem.textPaths[0].texts[0].createOutlines(false)
splineItem.remove()

Creating outlines to color the dot on letter "i"

I need to color the dot on the letter "i." In order to do this, I converted the text to outlines but was unable to ungroup the dot from the stem part of the letter "i." They appear to be ungroupable. Is this really so?
There are other times that I wish to create outlines of text and ungroup the letters to apply different effects.
Is all of this doable only in Illustrator, or is there a way to do it in InDesign? I am hoping for the latter. It would be a great timesaver.
many thanks!

It differs from the Illustrator approach: InDesign creates a single path, rather than a group of paths with one compound path per character. Selecting "Release Compound Path" in the Path sub-menu at the bottom of the Object menu does the trick.
The difference with the Illustrator way is visible if you do this on complicated characters, such as an "o"; its innards will come loose.
Just for the letter 'i', you could follow another approach, that is, if your font allows it. Insert a dotless 'i', followed by a dot in the correct color, and move them together with kerning. They will print better, and will look
i much
better on screen and in PDFs.

Some text after creating outlines fills with gadient

I have a few files in Illustrator CS that when I select all text and "create outlines" of them, about half of the text fills with black (normal), and the other half fill with a black to white gradient.
Has anyone else seen this?
Thank you very much for any information regarding this.

If you are working too fast and press the decimal point on the numeric key pad it will change all your selected vectors to grad fills. Could this be what is happening? I do this sometimes by accident when going for the ENTER key.
