CS4 - Resizing both frame and content in "width" transform palete...

We need to resize placed picture, but both frame and content at same time with writing exact dimension in "width" transform palete. Problem is that only frame is resized. If we select picture with direct selection tool, only content is resized.

Wrong field. Select the frame and use the scale fields to change the size of frames together with the content. This behavior was introduced in CS3.
Plain numbers in those fields are interpreted by default as percentages, but you can enter exact dimensions of your choice by specifying the measurement unit after the number.

SCALING FRAMES AND CONTENT

I am using ID CS4. I'm having a little trouble figuring out how the scaling features work. It seems I can only manage to scale the frame and not the content. I have discovered the object/fitting/fit content to frame feature but it seems such a long work around. Can you not enter numeric values in the height or width boxes and it scale both frame and content any more? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's not very intuitive but if you put the actual numeric values into
the percent fields it will work. Just make sure to put the full
value...6in, not 6.

Scale an Imported Graphic (Frame and Contents at Once)

I have read the help files, the knowledge base, even watched the instructional videos but can' t figure out how to size a placed graphic. I understand the difference between a frame and the contents. I can scale either one using the mouse or the numeric controls. But to scale the whole thing, do I have to scale each seseparately?
E.g., I want to size a photo to 2.0 inches wide. I don't see a way to do this in one operation.
I see that you CAN do it by %. Select object frame and if you size to 50%, it works -- both frame and contents go to half size. But if I size to a dimension, (width=1.5"), I have to do the frame, then the contents.
Is there a way to act on both frame and contents at once?
This is InDesign CS3 on a Mac.

This is not exactly intuitive. Select the frame, then look in the control panel for the horizontal and vertical scale fields, which should both say 100% when you first select an object. The default unit of measurement in these fields is %, but like any of the numeric fields in ID you can use any units you want, as long as tell InDesign what units you're using. If you want 2.0" wide, enter 2.0i (you don't need the n) in the width field and press enter. Your frame and content will scale to 2".

Resize frame and contents at the same time

Is there a keyboard shortcut that can be used to resize the frame and the contents of the frame at the same time? Command + Option + < > works but only resizes the frame or the contents, not both at once.

Ah yes: google a bit.
This has been discussed a few dozen times and there are scripts around (eg. by Sandee Cohen) to fill the gap.

Cut and Paste: Frame and Content Size Auto Changes

I'm working in InDesign CS2 and am having this reoccurring problem.
When I cut and paste frames with placed images (or pull images from a library) the frame and image will both expand to between 300%-3,000%. As you can imagine, it's very frustrating to have to create new frames and place new images every time. Any suggestions on how to fix or work around?

I'm still having problems with this, even using Paste and Match Style.
My table has three rows with gray background, then three rows of white; this pattern repeats for many rows. In the center row of each three rows is some text, while all other rows are blank. I want to move all this text down three rows, so that the text that was in the center row of the gray rows now is in the center row of the white rows, but I want the row colors to remain unchanged. Here's what I've tried.
If I "Cut" the selected cells, then the background colors are cut, so this is no good. Instead, I Copy the cells, then hit the Delete key. This leaves the background alone. Now I select a cell three rows down from the top. If I Paste, then the old backgrounds are pasted in, which is not the behavior I want. If I Paste and Match Style, then all the backgrounds are overwritten with white, except those single rows that originally contained both text, and had a gray background. The original cells that were gray but had no text are pasted in as white.
This latter behavior makes no sense to me. There seems to be a difference in how Paste and Match Style works, depending on whether the copied cells had text, or were blank.
Is there another way to do this rather common task—moving text around a table that has alternating-colored rows, without messing up those colors?

Can I have both IPS and Content security on ASA5510?

Hi expert
We want to have a ASA5510 with both IPS function and Content Security feature, while I checked on Cisco website, looks like ASA5510 or 5520 only have one SSM slot, so I can only use either AIP module or CSC module, does it mean I can not get both features at the same time.
Right now I want to have IPS function and anti-spam, anti-virus, antiphishing, content filtering, URL blocking such feature, so what do I need to buy to have all of these function in one device?
Thanks

Dear Echo Chan .
You can go with CSC module for your requirement , most of your requirement could be satisified by CSC module except IPS functionality

Resize frame and content proportionately

Hello
When i try to use Selection tool+Shift+Command–drag in mac or Selection tool+Shift+Ctrl–drag in PC
to resize an image or some text proportionately it doesn't seem to work like in illustrator, indesign... it does resize but not proportionately.
Is it possible to have the same shortcuts like this one in Adobe Muse? it will make it easier to place images and change size after.
Thank you.

Hi Maria
It works just the opposite of what you are familiar with. Proportional scaling is built in, just drag a corner without holding any keyboard buttons down. To scale disproportionately you use the keyboard keys
hope that helps,

Resizing graphics frames that have stroke/keylines

When I resize a graphic frame (with a placed image in it) that has a stroke/keyline, the stroke changes weight and I have to reapply the Object Style which sets the weight. How can I keep the same weight when I resize?
Also is there a way of changing the default behaviour of SHIFT+Resize box with mouse so that it resizes the frame AND content rather than having to use the more cumbersome ALT+SHIFT+mouse resize? I do that far more often then just resizing the frame and keeping the ratio!

Scaling Stroke Issue: On the menu bar at the far right, select the flyout and you will see the option "Adjust Stroke Weight When Scaling" here you can deselect to turn off
Resizing Issue: For just one image, select image, Object > Fitting > Frame Fitting Options > Turn on Autofit and Desired Fitting Option
Resizing Issue: For multiple images, Object Styles > select stye(s) > Frame Fitting Options > Turn on Autofit and Desired Fitting Option

Plumtree - IIS and Content server - tomcat

Can you please let me know that I have installed the plumtree on IIS. Now I have to install Collaboration 3.01 and Content Server. But the content server and Collaboration can be installed on following servers
- Weblogic
- Tomcat
- Websphere
Then can you please let me know how do plumtree installed on IIS will interact with Content server and Collaboration. IS there any way. This is very critical please reply soon.

------- Michael Bruce wrote on 7/14/04 7:41 AM -------Both Collab and content servers run on a Java server framework. That means that you have to have Tomcat, WebLogic, or WebSphere running and hosting those applications. Portal server can run on IIS. Portal interacts with Collab (as well as content, workflow, your portlets, Lotus notes integration, and many more) through http. The Portal makes a request to collab for content. Collab receives that request and processes it. The results are returned (Response) to the portal and the portal renders them as needed.
To re-phrase, IIS do not interact with Collab or Content servers. Portal does, and it interacts using HTTP.
Please let us know if that answers your question.
Hope that helps,Michael [email protected]

Applescript to resize images by BOTH length and width?

I've searched for this, so please forgive me if I've somehow missed it. I'm looking for an Applescript that will resize both the length and width of an image. Ideally, I'd just like to save it to my desktop and drop images on it, resizing them to 250x166 pixels. Is this possible? I've seen scripts for length OR width, but nothing that will do both. I know, the images will be out of proportion, but for what I'm doing, that won't be an issue. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Your request is a little unusual, which may be part of your problem.
The issue is that, usually, when you resize an image you want to scale it proportionally to maintain the same aspect ratio. Otherwise you end up distorting the image in one direction.
For example, if your image is, say 250 x 84px and you just double the height to get 166px, the image will distort and probably not look like what you wanted.
So what you want is probably a combination of scale, crop and/or pad. Scale proportionally increases or decreases the image's dimensions. crop trims an image to a certain size, and pad expands an image's boundaries to fill the space. Anything more than that requires additional thought as to what you want the image to look like.

Google Reader's right frame (where all of the headlines and content goes) is not visible in Firefox (10.0.1) on my Mac (10.6.8). How do I fix this? (It works fine in Safari)

As the question says, I cannot read the content in the right frame in Google Reader. This was also a problem when I was using Firefox 9.0.1. It was definitely not a problem prior to the Christmas holidays, so I don't know if it has something to do with new updates either Firefox or Google has made (I posted on their forum as well).

Both your Conduit Engine, particularly, and Alexa Toolbar are known troublemakers. I would advise Googling both for advice and removal instructions.
I'm not sure it is a good idea to have both Foxit and Adobe Reader.

Cs4 Zoom Resize...and a litte rant...and then a plea.

Hey Adobe, I've been a Photoshop user for over a decade and, for as long as I can remember, the two zoom resize options (the one attached to the zoom tool option bar and the one in the preferences menu) have allowed me to set the window resize option for my keyboard zoom and my zoom tool independently. This was tremendously useful for me since most of the time I don't want to resize my window and the keyboard shortcut would zoom in and out of my image in a useful and predictable manner. Having the second option was great because it allowed me to fit my image to a smaller or larger window with a single click of the zoom tool.
I was reading the online help for the the zoom resize function and, under the comments, another user had the same concern that, though there are STILL two options, they no longer were independent. Much to my disappointment an adobe representative (somewhat pompasly) remarked that the zoom functionality was flawed previously and that it's current inception, with two options that do the same thing and are thus redundant, it is the more consistent (implying correct) manner in which the functionality ought to behave. I strongly contest that point of view and feel that I, as an expert user, have been undermined in favor of a arbitrarily dumbed down solution that adds several seconds to operations that I perform perhaps hundreds of times daily.
This brings me to a related but separate point. The update of the user interface from CS3 to CS4, with the change to the zoom functionally being at the heart of the issue, is inferior to previous versions. There are many new issues a few of which I will list for your benefit:
A liberal waste of my screen real estate in the palettes and menus
Annoying and unpredictable tab behavior (whcih still seem to crop up even though I have both options disabled)
Minimized windows that cannot be moved
A mind bogglingly poor lay out of the adjustment layer palettes (massive, unscalable, with textless icons and tiny handles on razor thin color bars)
'Full screen with menu" mode that now covers up my windows task bar (really, Adobe how dare you?)
Utterly mystifying hit areas of color palette sliders which will select and move the wrong slider if I don't click precisely on the intended one
Poor performance under openGL (I have a Nvidia 8800 which is a middle-high end card).
By my own, totally subjective account, It is fundamentally worse... for me.
Now I'm sure there are many users who are happy with the updates you have made and I applaud you for catering to your base, but why in God's name would you remove and redisgn functionality without offering the option of employing the previous inception. It is a slap in the face, Adobe. So I emplore you as a loyal coustomer, as a user who depends on your software for my livelyhood and as a design professional who interacts with your product more than my family...Please give me more control over the UI of your software. Please don't remove change functionallty. It frustrates me and wastes hundreds of hours of my time over the course of a year. Let me have two window resize options!

This is a user to user forum. Adobe does not read this. But I, at least, agree with some of what you posted. There is a feedback form that I have attached that will get your concerns to the right people. Hope this helps.

How to resize a document and its contents?

I'm having some trouble resizing a single page, and a single part of that page, on my document.
First the details: My page dimensions are 800 x 1200. On top of that black background, there's textured layer measuring 760 x 130 at the top (for website's name/logo/misson statement) and 760 x 990 below (for site's content and graphics). There are 20 px borders (between textured layer and background) at the top and sides, and 10 px border at the bottom. The 50 px gap between the top and main textured areas is for the navigation bar.
Now the problem: I want to resize just one page to 800 x 1250 px. And to complicate things, I only want to grow the bottom part by those 50 px, so that that textured layer measures 760 x 1040 (I have to add something to that page's main content, so I don't want to affect the size of either navigation bar or site's name/logo).
Adobe instructions (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Fireworks/10.0_Using/WSAE41683F-ED20-4488-9389-79DC28BD7CE0.ht ml) haven't been much help. I go to Modify > Canvas > Image Size, change to 1250 pixels, click off "constrain proportions" and click on "resample image" and "current page only." When I do that, it does enlarge both the black background and the textured layer to the size I want. But it also:
1. Changes the entire page -- that is, it grows the nav bar and logo areas as well as the main content section.
and, strangely,
2. The textured layer on my two dozen other pages grows, but not the black background. In other words, I change both the background and layer size on the page I want to modify, but I inadvertently grow only the textured layer (but not background) on all of my other pages. (So the texture on all of those other pages now spills off the black background.)
So my question: How can I resize only the main content's background and textured layer on one page? Is it even possible?
Many thanks to anyone who can help. And my apologies for the lengthy explanation. But I'm new to webdesign and Adobe Fireworks, and I wanted to be as clear as possible about the problem.
PS If it matters, I'm using Fireworks CS4

Thank you, Pixlar. However, I couldn't adjust the rectangle as you suggested, as it was on my master page. That was the problem I was having: Both the canvas and the texture layer I put on it (ie, the rectangle) were on the master page. I wanted to change the dimensions of both canvas and rectangle on only one page. Following Jim's suggestion, I was able to change the canvas, but not the rectangle (at least,not without adjusting the master page, which would have affected the layout of twenty other pages).
I finally decided to follow your other suggestion: Delete the old one and start over.
Thank you again for your help. Nice having a forum like this to turn to.
