Customize toolbar - line tool with several colors

I use Acrobat v 8.0. The type of my works requires a lot of reading through *.pdf-documents. For several reasons, I need to mark them up with the line tool. I need to use several colors on the documents. Obviously, I could put on a line with one color, and changing the color through properties. But I would rather add a line tool button to the toolbar, so that for example a "green" and a "red" line tool were available at the same time.
Is this possible?
(I could use the same function with the mark-up tool)

OK, but my question was if there is a possibility to show two line tools simultaneously - one with f.ex. red color preselected, and the other with green color preselected.

Line chart with different "colors": Values not available are displayed as 0

Hello,
I defined a line chart with more than one lines (aka "colors" in the chart wizzard) - each line representing the (monthly) values of a year. x axis are the 12 months of the year; y axis are the values.
When one defines such a line chart in BIP client there is a choice between sum, average and count for the data values.
This is no problem for my template as there is only one value per month/year - so I used sum.
The problem: for the actual year there are no values for future months . But bip nevertheless shows 0 for this month/year... Can one prevent this?
Regards
Peter

Solved it finally - unavailable values must explicitly be passed to the report with nothing contained in the value tag.

Toolbars and Tools Palette show color AND grey Icons

Running FMv12 on Win7.
Both sets of icons are trying to show. However, Toolbars are cut off so only left several icons show, and remaining toolbar is blank all the way to right side of program window. Toolbar separators are shown all the way across, but segments are empty.
At same time, Tools Palette, docked to left side of screen, shows dual set of icons also, but they are jumbled. That is, they are not neatly arranged in two columns, and color or grey set is trying to display on top of the other, slightly offset. As if trying to display two sets of two columns, but overlapped.
* All above display correctly when FM first starts. Then, when User hovers something to use it, before he clicks, the screen changes as if tooltip timing, going to fail mode described above. Recovery requires restarting FM.
Also, document zoom, and other controls at bottom, are invisible until mouse hover. User has to hunt to find, and then with hover, controls appear as if tooltip; and then click works normal. Different from 3 above, these controls do not show at FM start/document open.
What we've tried:
Screen/Display Resolution. Tested high and low settings.
Undocking toolbars, palette, and document window. No effect.
Different combinations of Color/Grey and Large/Normal icon settings in preferences. Settings take affect correctly, but above symptoms still present.
Any help, please?

[bump/update]
*Still no fix.
*Answering your last question, no other Apps are acting up. We did shut down SnagIt by TechSmith that was running in SysTray Program Icons. But other Screen Grab Apps, such as Windows Snip Tool, are not running, that we can tell looking at Task Mngr Apps & Processes. But you know how long that processes list can be. And I have no clue about what most of them are. But nothing stands out, even looking at the Description Column.
*So here is what we've tried. I would not know if all this writing may be overkill here in the forums. Someone feel free to say if it is. . . .
User's IT ran windows updates and company/desktop updates to give Drivers a chance to be the problem.
Then they uninstalled and reinstalled FMv12.
In User's AppData maker.ini, I deleted MakerWin and ConsoleWin window position lines, forcing FM to rewrite them.
I replaced his fmtoolbar.xml and fmtoolbar_review.xml files with mine.
*Here is what we will try next.
They will uninstall FMv10, and then reinstall v12 again. I do not expect there are issues between these two versions of FM. Originally, I understood other users there have v10 installed -- but now I find out, only on a second pc!
So they are also planning to put v12 on a separate pc for this user to see if it runs there.
[Interestingly, speaking of interaction between versions: At my own workstation, I had v7 and v9 working. After installing v12, I could not get v9 to start. It began crashing during load. It was intended only for testing a while back, so I simply removed it and all is well; with v7 and v12 installed on this pc.]
I am considering using my menus_xxx.cfg files next. His have significantly different dates that maybe FM is looking at, but cant hurt to try, even though the issue is with Toolbars and not Menus. Unless there is .cfg files for Toolbars.
Anyway, there is an update. While I realize all these details are a ton of reading, I knew you would at least be curious as to status or outcome.

Dave

Changing proxy to PAC file using command line tool ?

I've asked this before but have not had much luck getting an easy fix.
I need to change a large number of machines over to using a pac file instead of the current settings for secure and web proxys.
It's not possible using 10.4 CLI command networksetup but I'm wondering if anyone may have another way of doing this ? Possibly a script or something ???
Mitch

The command line tools with ARD do not appear to have any syntax for specifying a PAC file URL nor the syntax to specify Proxies use a PAC file.
I suggest you look at /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist file. This is where your PAC file settings will be saved. You may be able to programatically alter the file using "defaults write" or some other tool.
Hope this helps!

Executing batch files via ODI cmd line tool

Hi,
I'm experiencing an issue when trying to run batch files via the ODI Cmmmand line tool with any agent that isn't the local agent. My call is simply the full filepath of the batch file. When I run with local agent everything works fine. However when I run with an agent configured in the Topology the process just hangs in the operator indefinately in a running state but never executes or produces any output and I have to kill it. Any ideas? The agent is installed on the same server as the ODI Studio instance I use when running the local agent

Sounds like that on the remote agent, the batch job is waiting for a user key input and hence it appears in a hung state. You can add try to trace from Agent logs and echo combinations to know where is this happening
In unix environment you can send keys programmatically. Not sure how to do that in the Windows environment.

Aperture 2.1.4 with Snow Leopard opens but unable to customize toolbar. Nothing happens when I select view/customize.

Installed 2.1.4 on an iMac with 3GB Ram using 10.6.8 OSX.
Experiencing two problems for now.
1. Attempts to customize toolbar has no response. The boxes appear but no screen with the tools to import.
2. I did the standard install over AP 1.5 and all library photos for 1.5 appear in 2.1.4 but
when opening a project/folder picture it will open and the "Loading" message appears but the wheel is not moving?
I'm using 2.1 over 3.0 because I have it and not ready to spend more until I get this working. I plan to go to LION OSX
once Aperture functons correctly.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
George

Updated to snow leopard and had the same problem that when the thumbnails where placed on the bottom I could only scroll left or right when no picture was marked... so I placed the thumbnails to the left side and scrolling worked normally even with a a marked picture...I also had bad color sync problems and switching screens would cause my windows to become almost black and unreadable..... I reinstalled my Leopard clone drive shortly there after... oh well... it took a while before leopard was ready for professional use.... I didn't really expect Snow leopard to be different... I will check back in at 10.6.4 or so LOL

Oracle Http server 11g, change ports with command-line tool

I have installed the WLS11g webtier's Oracle Http server 11g. I installed the OH 11g only.
The OH is runing fine with ports: non-ssl 7779 and ssl 4444
I want to change the ssl port to 443 such that we can have the url without showing the port as https://hostname.domain/
I have looked up the documnet http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/core.1111/e10105/ports.htm#CIHJIFHB for "managing port".
it states "You can change the port numbers for some Oracle Fusion Middleware components, using Fusion Middleware Control, Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console, or *the command line*."
Because I only installed the OH, I have no the Fusion Middleware control , admin console available for making the port change. And I cannot find out how to the command line tool to make the change.
I followed the steps in section 5.3.2.1 Enabling Oracle HTTP Server to Run as Root for Ports Set to Less Than 1024 (UNIX Only) http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/core.1111/e10105/ports.htm#CIHJEEJH
And I did edit ssl.conf for port change to 443 ---- this is not documented in the document. I think because Oracle wants you to use the console to make the change.
OH is not working after I made the change.
Does anyone know how to use the commend line tool for making the port changes for OH11g?
Thanks

Hi,
if u want to achieve it using JMX then u can try :
http://middlewaremagic.com/weblogic/?p=613
Using Command Line Option WLST you can do it in ONLINE Mode...like:
Step1). Please run the ". ./setWLSEnv.sh" script to set the CLASSPATH & PATH in the shell prompt.
NOTE: Run the “setWLSEnv.sh” by adding two DOTs separated by a single space …..before the actual script like following : (use ‘cd’ command to move inside the <BEA_HOME>/wlserver_10.3/server/bin) then run the following command….
*. ./setWLSEnv.sh*
Note: the first DOT represents that set the Environment in the current Shell, AND the second ./ represents execute the script from the current directory.
Step2). Now in the same Shell Prompt please run the WLST Utility like following:

java weblogic.WLST
wls:/offline> connect()
Please enter your username [weblogic] : weblogic
Please enter your password [weblogic] : weblogic
Please enter your server URL [t3://localhost:7001] : t3://localhost:7001
Connecting to t3://localhost:7001 with userid weblogic ...
edit()
startEdit()
cd ('Servers/AdminServer')
cmo.setListenPort(9999)
save()
activate()

Now you NEED NOT to restart your Server to reflact these Changes....
The Above JMX Code is also able to do it in Runtime only on the Fly.
Thanks

How can I make the line segment tool repeat several times?

How can I make the line segment tool repeat several times?

If this is what you want, hold the ~ key on your keyboard while dragging with the tool.
If you want spaced copies of the completed line, use the Transform Effects from the Effects menu.

How to draw a shape with line tool then fill with colour

How can i draw a shape with the line tool and then fill it with colour

Click and drag from one anchor point to the next, making sure that each new line segment begins where the last one ended. The Line Tool will snap onto the anchors.
Once you're done creating what looks like a closed path, the lines are still separate objects. To combine them into one path, select them all and press Ctrl/Cmd+J (for Join) or via the menu select Object > Path > Join.
The Pen Tool can be used in a similar manner, but each segment will be a continuation rather than a separate object. The last (closing) click will be indicated by a tiny circle on the mouse pointer.
If you make an open path, Ai will still "fill" it with a fill color by assuming a straight path between the last open anchor points. Individual straight paths, however, such as those drawn by the line tool, have no "inside", so they won't show the fill color even if you have assigned one.

Why Can I Only Make Black Shape Layers With the Line Tool?

My question is this: How do I make an arrow as a shape layer that's other than black?
Here's what I tried:
1. Choose the Line Tool, and using the cog turn on the arrowhead at end feature, and set the weight.
2. Drag a line on my image, which creates an arrow-shaped path. So far so good.
3, Click the [Shape] button to make a shape layer from the path. Note that the arrow is black, even though my foreground color is white.
4. Double click the shape layer icon and a color picker comes up. Change the color, and note that the arrow stays black.
Seems like a bug: You can have any color shape that you want, as long as it's black.
Here's the above sequence shown graphically:

Noel Carboni wrote:
Now I need to figure out where to turn that off by default.
OK, now I see the Fill and Stroke options - ONLY VISIBLE IN THE OPTIONS BAR WHEN TOOL MODE Shape IS SELECTED - that affect the operation of the [Shape] button.
Personally, I really LIKE the concept of always making a Path, then doing with it what I want (e.g., make a Shape with the button).
I'm not sure what I'd suggest about making the Fill and Stroke options available, but clearly the method of haivng them only show when making Shapes, and not when using the [Shape] button is a stumbling block even for folks who are familiar with the product.
I would probably turn off the Stroke feature by default, though, then let people discover it.

Is there a way to move a line drawn with the brush tool

I have created a document in Photoshop CC. I drew a number of line using the brush tool from the left tool bar. One of the lines needs to be nudged slightly. I cannot find a way to select the line to nudge it. How do I do this?

Assuming the stroke is separated from the others cleanly, you can select around it (e.g., with the Rectangular Marquee Tool or the Polygonal Lasso Tool), then just drag the pixels to where you want them.
Note that if you're working on the Background it will fill the space left behind with the color from the background color swatch in the Tools panel.

White with vertical colored lines on Equium A60

Hi
I am new to this but really need your help. My laptop is about 18 months old and has always worked fine. Last week I plugged a broadband modem into it through an Ethernet cable and set up broadband. A couple of minutes after doing this when I looked at the screen again, it had gone all white with vertical colored lines down it. I have rebooted the machine etc and that is all I ever get now. As soon as I switch on, it just goes straight to white with these vertical colored lines.
I have tried connecting an external monitor to it and that works fine. The laptop is a Toshiba Equium A60. I am worried that the screen has blown, is it possible for a surge or something like that to come down the Ethernet cable and blow the screen?
Thanks
Adrian

Display functionality has nothing to do with Ethernet cable. Test with external monitor is very good and on this way you can see if maybe graphic card is responsible for that.
According to your description I believe that display is the problem. Of course, just intensive display test can give more answers.

In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). I can't figure out how to disable.

In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). Whenever I try to use a tool, a blue box appears around the line and I have to double click it to manipulate it, which opens just that line in a semi burred screen where all the other objects are semi-grey in the background. I can manipulate this line in this screen but nothing else at that time which I could do about 5 minutes ago. For exampe, I no longer can join up 2 lines drawn by the line tool together. For some reason this started randomly (probably due to a accidental shortcut combination) and I just can't put it back to what it used to be. I have inserted a video hopefully showing what I mean. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you - Just what I needed

Line chart with more than 15 data series - color problem

Hi all,
I've built a line chart with 32 data series (user can control, which of them are displayed at a time). For series 16 to 32 I did manipulate the URL in the browser directly, because Application Express does only display parametrs for up to 15 series. This works fine so far except of displaying the colors. For each sieries I defined a different color. 29 of my 32 series are displayed in the desired color. But series 29, 31 and 32 are displayed in a default-color (#0099CC). It seems that this is a SVG-problem. In the SVG-source I find the wrong color. When I export my application, I see the right color.
Thanks for help,
Chris

Hello,
Which version of APEX are you using?
Go to your Flash Chart attributes - get into your series (click the icon) in the section of Series Query you'll find the maximum rows.

Dimitri

Line drawn with Pencil Tool appears to fade in and out

My Nme is Allen Togwell.Case No: 0183721415. Your chat line guy said I needed a graphic card to solve my problem for my CS6. He gave me a link but disconnected before I could use it. Can you help me with what type of graphic card I need. I am 75 yrs of age and not very com literate.
Thanks

Hi Allen,
I looked up that case number and watched a recording of you working with the agent and am not convinced that what you are seeing was necessarily because of the graphics card.
This is my interpretation and thoughts around what you were seeing. I noticed that you were working on an image that took up a fair amount of the screen when viewed at 16.7% zoom. This means it was a pretty large image. Next, I noticed you were using the pencil tool with a tip that was 4 pixels.
I think the combination of these two things was the reason the pencil tool was appearing choppy or to fade in and out when drawing. This occurs because you are using such a small size and are zoomed out so much that the lines are barely visible. When you zoom out the program resamples the appearance. This resampling can cause detail to be lost and the appearance to vary depending on what zoom level is used, 16.7% is particularly bad with fine details.
I think there would be two solutions, use a different zoom level to get a better view or use a pencil with a larger size.
I recorded this video for you as an example
http://screencast.com/t/e9dhiHKoKbv
I suspect the list that the agent was suggesting for video cards was the one at the bottom of this document
