Easiest way to add a double stroke to text / or object in Illustrator 10

New to the forum and wondered if someone can help me find a solution in adding a double stroke to text or an object? I have illustrator 10 (Mac). Thanks Also, should I be in a different forum section or is this correct?

Go to window/appearance and add as many strokes and fills you want, and reorder as you need
here you can see a movie on how it works, no matter the video is in AiCS3, works the same in Ai10.

How to add double stroke to text or an object?

I have illustrator 10 (MAC). Wondering the easiest way to add a double stroke to text or an object? Also, how can I move the stroke so its not necessarily on the outside of text? Was thinking more of an outline with separation between the two colors on the double stroke. Thanks

I'm not really an expert in user-land Illustrator so I'm not always up-to-speed on the terminology -- what do you mean by 'double stroke'?
Assuming you're talking about doing this in code, I *might* be able to help you on this but it's been a couple of years since I used the pre-CS text engine. I'd be more likely to be able to help you if this was CS+, but I can try.
If you're talking about doing it through the GUI as a user, I'm the last guy you want to ask :)

What's the easiest way to add storage to a mac mini. (1TB hard drive but only 32G of real storage). External device, internal or partitioning?

What's the easiest way to add storage to a mac mini. (1TB hard drive but only 32G of real storage). External device, internal or is there some way to partition? I tried doing so but received a message that there wasn't enough free space to partition. Seems like a 1TB drive should have more storage than my Ipad

Its worth confirming what free space you have on your drive:
go to: Apple Menu > About this Mac > More Info > Storage
The bar chart shows how much free space there is on the drive:
Please realise that partitioning does not create extra space so this wont help you.
If your free space is less than 20 % you should get extra storage with an external USB or Firewire drive, any make or model will work.

Easiest way to add video? (preferably free)

I have a client with television adds who wants to add them to the website. I don't have any linear editing software, just the DMX Zone free extension which does not look terribly promising...

Which file format are they in? Do they require much editing? If not, you might get away with simply encoding them for Flash Video using the Adobe Flash encoder, RIVA or some other low cost converter.

Solutions: GreenSock code or css code.
You write directly css code.
Or you load GreenSock [TweenLite] using yepnope to write css code via TweenLite

Opinions needed on best way to add a mobile site

We have an existing somewhat older website that does not nicely support mobile devices. While it looks and works fine on tablets, it becomes somewhat unusable on smartphones. We do not have the time/dollars at this point to start from scratch and rebuild with all of the latest bells and whistles. So the question becomes what is the cleanest/fastest/easiest way to add a mobile website. In trying to research this answer, it appears there is no one right answer. I actually have found many possibilities. Right now I have Dreamweaver CS5 and am not going to upgrade any time soon or change tools.
Here are some possibilities I'm considering:
Adding a new "home" page and letting the user decide to either "go lean and mobile" or go wide screen and use the full website. This doesn't seem too bad to me since I'm clearly going to have to maintain 2 websites in the near term.
From there I see choices where the direction is chosen based on the OS or it is chosen based on the screen size. I have seen some based on Javascript and some CSS based. It just gets pretty confusing to know which is best.
We are adding online ordering (pizza place) and want to definitely make it useable for the mobile world. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
As a follow on question, how big of a problem would we run into (how many phone users might we anger) if we used a js based menu on our mobile sit?. Not sure how many devices/OS don't support javascript.
Thanks so much!
Donna

If you go down this slippery slope, trying to identify mobile user-agents is the single biggest obstacle you will face. The list is understandably huge and constantly changing. To make matters worse, many browsers pretend to be other browsers. So sniffing for mobile devices and redirecting them to your mobile only site is not only a major chore, it's not even 100% reliable. And then there's the matter of maintaining 2 separate sites... Oh, don't even go there.
Re-code your current site to make it Responsive. Below are several Frameworks you can use to jump start your new layouts.
Foundation Zurb
http://foundation.zurb.com/templates.php
Skeleton Boilerplate

Initializr (HTML5 Boilerplate, Responsive or Bootstrap)

Project Seven's Page Packs *Commercial CSS Templates for DW*

Whichever menu system you choose, it needs to be user friendly for desktops as well as touch screen devices. CSS styled lists are the foundation to build on. Then you can add jQuery MeanMenu to make it mobile friendly. I have a working example of it below (resize your browser viewport):

Best way/easiest way to Watermark using Aperture 3

I was just curious the easiest way to add a watermark to my pictures in Aperutre 3. I've used Pixelmator in the past , and was happy with it, but can't download the trial again. I was just curious if anyone knew an easy way to create the watermark (like on what program) and then transfer it on to my Aperture pictures. Any thoughts? Thank you

This has been discussed here in the past so searching for 'watermark' in the forum will turn up some useful info.
Briefly to create a watermark file you need to be able to produce either a psd file or a tiff with a program that supports transparency. Again a search of the web will turn up many suggestions. Some possibilities are Photoshop (expensive), Gimp (free) and I've even done it using Keynote which is part of iWorks.
Hope this helps.

Is there a way to add your signature to text messages without typing it in with each one on the Iphone 4S?

Is there a way to add your signature to your texts on the Iphone 4S, without typing it in on each text? Heard this was a mistake on the Iphone 4S--hope i is fixed by now....

Just discovered how to do it: Go to Mail, Contacts, Calendars, scroll down to Signature: and where it says "from my Iphone on messages - delete it and add your name, and/or phone no--whatever you like...doesn't take up much space...This is apparently the "fix" the Iphone 4S did....
It did not originally come out with that on it...now it is there - must have come in an update..
Thanks for all your help!

Easiest way to fade in text?

Hi Guys
What is the easiest way to fade in a paragraph of text line by line? I'm creating the animation in Indesign, exporting as a FLA file and then converting it to html5 with Wallaby.
This soloution is very glichy. It only works sometimes! When I swipe the page and go back the page with the animation – sometimes this does not work!
Has anybody got any other solutions?!
Any help appreciated!
Cheers

Animation will become a new trade to InDesign users. While Flash didn't really lure many InDesign user into the realms of animation, ADPS will certainly PUSH them over the Edge (notice the pun...)
Keep in mind, that it's just like with photography: a special tool for such elements will be more capable for that task than some restricted features in InDesign. We never wondered why we can't do so much with photo's or Photoshop files in InDesign, except for crops, transformations, transparancy, and showing/hiding a casual layer. Tap your heels twice in InDesign, and you're off to Photoshop, with the original file.
So my guess is that animation will follow suit and therefore will be better off in a separate application (like Adobe Edge, or Mac-only Hype). Maybe a simple motion path or quick and dirty bounce animation will become available (as the Flash-inclined Animation panel already offered). But vast animation is a dfferent trade for competent users, requiring different tools, integrating on the Suite level.

How to add a instruction to a text field

Dear all,
I am trying different ways to add a guideline to a text field. I tried
1/ To insert a comment, but clearly it is not working with an interactive form in Adobe Acrobat,
2/ To use text field and set the guideline as default value on the object palette but the problem are
- The text field is not expanded horizontally even I chose Expand to fit option
- The guideline does not disappear in case user do not use it
- The box does not shrink also as users do not type enough lines
3/ To use text instead of text field for the guideline, the problem is
- There will be a large space between the two parts since the guideline is not supposed to be printed.
My question is whether there is a smarter way to suggest users typing in the text field by giving the instructions without having it printed out. For instance, is there a way to have a hidden box, you know, it appears as users drag a mouse or click the field?
I know this is might be a naive question, but please help me out. I would really appreciate.

Wow there is a lot to cover in this thread......
1. A flowed subform means that the content within that form will be placed from left to right top to bottom. In your case where you want to place objects beside each other they need to be within a positioned subform (this means the objects will maintain their position relative to the subform boundaries). So in your case I would break up the form into logical sections and wrap those sections into a flowed subform (make the subform dimensions span the page) then wrap all of the sections in a Page subform that is flowed. Now when it flows everything the positioned subform containers will span the page and will keep theobjects where they are positioned.
2. Each cell can only house 1 object. You could add another column to add the second course date.
3. You can add as many rows and columns as you need....so yes you could add a course code.
4. The form can access a database for filling the form or for writing to the DB, but there are a few things you shoudl know. Reader does not have this capability and it must be enabled using LiveCycle Reader Extensions. This is a server based product so it is priced as such. If you have a small number of users it might be more cost effective to buy Acrobat for each user. Once that is taken care of the connection to the DB is controlled by an ODBC driver in the Windows OS. This means that each machine that loads the form will need to have this driver configured (cannot be automated) as well this solution will only work on a Windows machine. In bigger installations this becomes a maintenance nightmare for most IT shops. Do you still want to proceed down this path?
5. A form can only create a single data file structure ....I do not understand what you mean by the last point....can you elaborate?

What is the easiest way to access the router from an iPad? I have no problems accessing it from my laptop. Even though I am entering the address in the left address box, not the Google search box, it wants to do either a search, or add www to the beginning of the IP address.
I usually can eventually access the router, but it is way to much trouble. However, I use my iPad hundreds of times more often than my laptop.

Are you typing http:// in front of the IP address of the router? e.g. http://192.168.0.1
Sometimes, and with some routers it doesn't seem to like it if you miss off the http://

Is there a way to add multiple outlines on the same layer?

Hi there! I'm trying to add an outline to text or objects through the style fx, then I want to add more outlines. It would be nice if you could just add a new stroke like in illustrator. I don't want copy the layer and just do a thicker outline behind it, the point is to have it all on the same layer .. just wondering if thats possible. Thanks!

You have been given two approaches which may meet your needs. There is another way that offers independent control of the styles, but you do use multiple layers.
Assume you have a path that defines your object and lets say you want to apply three different styles and have independent and ongoing control over each. Create a new blank layer for each style. On each of those layers apply a brush stroke to the path, say a 1 pixel stroke whose color is also the background color as an example. Now on each of those layers apply your chosen layer styles. That is what I have done in this example:
