Edit Existing Swatch?
Hi. Yes, I did a search in Illustrator support for Edit Existing Swatch... But apparently that is far to eclectic an inquiry to bring up instructions on how to do so.
Can anyone tell me the steps to do so? (I do it ALL THE TIME in Flash, but Illustrator aparently likes for me to visit the support site.)
Sigh.
First, let me say thanks for the posts. I really appreciate it.
I'm getting a Swatch Options window when I double click (I was trying that already) but it's greyed out.
Normally, in flash all kinds of panels pop up. Like gradation panels (if appropriate) etc.
Here's the window. (I'm on a Mac.)

I make a gradient and drag it to the swatches palette and name it.
If I want to edit it I select it and make a change in the gradient palette but the instant I touch anything the gradient is no longer selected and my edits can only be saved by creating a new swatch. I will have too many swatches this way.
So how does one edit an existing gradient swatch?
Thanks for any help.Yeah. Intuitive, isn't it? If you doubleClick a Grad Swatch, the Edit Swatch dialog opens, which does not provide Gradient sliders.
Edit the grad in the grad palette. Press and hold Alt while you drag it from the grad palette and drop it onto the existing Swatch.

To allow to edit existing iDoc segments or to add new segments.
In order to re-process iDoc's there is necessary forst to manipulate the record. A custom transaction(WE19) is required to allow to edit existing iDoc segments or to add new segments without creatinga new idoc.
any clue..
Regrads,
Ramyahi ramya,
In the test tool WE19 v can able to see the
copy and existing idoc.
create an idoc based on an idoc type.
create an idoc based on a message type.
but mostly v use the first option. Like modify the existing idoc to suit our requirement
Regards....

Editing existing PDF documents
I often receive PDF forms that require information to be added and then returned to the sender. How can you open a PDF file in Acrobat such that you can type in the necessary information and then resave it as a PDF file? Note that I have no design input or control for the original PDF documents.
You can add text form fields (under TOOLS in AA8), select the text touchup tool and hold the ctrl key as you place the cursor, edit existing text with this tool (not easy -- often seems to mess up), or use the Typewriter tool. Basically, editing a PDF is not recommended except for minor changes.
You could also use the commenting tools. -
Custom reports / edit existing reports
I would like to edit some existing reports in Service Desk. Many report do what I'm looking for except for one thing. All 'closed reports' report the closed/resolved step in the workflow. We have a validation step on which I would like to report. How can I edit existing reports to match this? We are currently running 6.2 but can upgrade to 6.5 if needed.
With the report builder in 6.5 is it possible to edit these reports without having to make them from scratch?Do you see any error when you run the ETL, i.e. the Java ETL embedded with the app server?

I can't edit existing Word docs
I can't edit existing Word docs with *any* of the five Word-processing apps I downloaded (free). I can edit documents I started on my ipad, but not on my computer. I can view them just fine though. Is there an app that lets me edit existing docs, which I've transferred from pc? Or, is my ipad 2 broken?

Hi all ,
I'm working a on C# console application , that is used for editing existing pdf files , by shifting pdf document paragraphs down , adding text style..etc
1. Is there a way that i can do that with acrobat sdk ?? Regarding that i'm editing an existing pdf file i.e the new result will overwrite the old one..
2. Is there some kind of dll , that i can use in my application to launch to Acrobat Pro XI so that i can use it's functions in my project ??
Thank youNot everything you can do in Acrobat can easily be automated. There are
different APIs in the Acrobat SDK, and the IAC interface has some serious
limitations. Some of which you can get around by using the JavaScript
bridge, but still, you wont have access to the page content. Only a plug-in
can access that data, and still, moving "paragraphs" around is a huge
tasks. The PDF file does not organize it's content in terms of words,
sentences or paragraphs, so you would have to provide functionality that
would be able to identify what you consider to be a paragraph. That is not
a trivial task. You may be able to export your PDF content as a Word
document, then do all that "magic" in Word, and then convert the document
back to PDF (or go straight to the original document and do all the work in
that).

Iphoto crashes when I try to edit existing (old) slideshow.
iphoto crashes when I try to edit existing (old) slideshow. If I create a new one I can edit them ok, it seems to be older slideshows I have the problem with. I am happy to delete slideshow but even if i try to right click I just get whirly wheel of death then need to force quit. Am running Maverick and latest version of iphoto software...
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful. -
Cannot add new selectors or edit existing CSS file with my Mac
I have just subscibed to Dreamweaver CC and I cannot add new selectors or edit the exisiting "main" css that comes with the tutorial. When asked to add selector a box appears but when I press enter/return twice it disappears. Also there is no option to edit existing properties. for example, to change a font color I pick color but there is no enter or "OK" option. I'm very puzzled and stuck.
The trial version of Dreamweaver is fully functional. The only limitation is that it stops working after 30 days. If you're having problems with getting the software to work correctly, it might be a good idea to try posting a question in the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum, mentioning the fact that you've already posted here (otherwise, they might just transfer you back to this or one of the other Dreamweaver forums).
If you can't make changes to files, it might have something to do with permissions or the user account that you've logged onto the computer with.
When asking for help in the other forum, mention your operating system, and which version you're using. The problem might be related to your computer setup. -
