  • Multiple object is not exported while clicking Edit Object in "Acrobat  X Pro to Photoshop CS5"

    Can you help someone to get multiple object using "Edit Objects" from "Acrobat X Pro" to "Photoshop CS5"? Refer below:
    Selecting the multi object (Acrobat X Pro):
    Click Edit Objects => Displays below option, click OK:
    Opened only one object instead of above multiple selected - in Photoshop CS5
    Thanks in advance,

    Dear Mylenium,
    Thanks for your respond on this. However the same scenario is working perfectly in "Acrobat 6" to "Photoshop CS". Could you please clarify?

  • Trouble with editing multiple frames

    Hi guys,
    I'm new to CS4 - learnt my flash many years ago on Flash 5. So anyway I'm trying to get used to the new Motion Tween function and having a few problems.
    I've created a simple animation where an object fades in, stays put for a moment and then fades out (one motion tween with 4 keyframes). I now want to resize the movie clip across all of these keyframes cos I got it wrong to start with.
    So I click 'Edit Multiple Frames' (everything disappears but that's for another question), drag the onion thingy across the timeline and select the frames on the layer I want to edit. I then click on the free transform tool and drag the invisible movie clip (you can see the outline!) to make it larger.
    Result? Well it seems to scale the first frame, but the others are all left at the original scale. Hence animation now shows object fading in whilst getting smaller etc. etc.
    There must be an easy way to do this. I've tried the motion editor but you have to do it keyframe by keyframe. Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Ben

    Modifying an entire animation with motion tweens is not as easy as it used to be.
    Here's the best answer you are probably going to get.
    from : http://flashthusiast.com/2009/10/06/scaling-and-moving-new-motion-tweens-in-flash-cs4/
    Scaling an entire animation that does have Scale X or Scale Y animated.
    If you have previously scaled anything in the tween, doing this is applied to the first keyframe and the tween would animate to the earlier scaling (the auto-keyframing feature can be a detriment in this situation, especially when it comes to scaling due to the percentages being reset - for this reason Motion Presets also won’t help). In this situation, I recommend scaling using the Motion editor:
    1. Go to the Scale X and Y properties in the Motion Editor.
    2. Press the Alt key while dragging the curve in each graph up and down. This scales the entire scale animation at the same time (same as edit multiple keyframes).
    3. If you need to proportionally scale the motion path for the tween as well, select the path on the Stage and use Free Transform or enter a new value in the Transform panel.
    I have had success with the above method, but from what I can tell you can only do one property at a time on one object at a time. So it is an awful amount of work.
    As for step 2: while dragging the whole curve it seems the property value is very reluctant to snap to whole integers and I often see values like 200.35%.
    Same thing applies for dragging property keyframes up and down in the motion editor. Is there a way to get nice clean numbers? I I want to scale something by 50% I don't want 49.83% I find myself often keying in these values by hand.
    For me even though scale X and scale Y are "linked / locked / contstrained" It seems I get mixed results with this feature. Changing scaleX doesn't always change scaleY

  • Selecting Multiple objects in Pages for ipad

    On regular pages, I can select multiple objects (text boxes, etc) by holding shift then clicking on it. Is there a way to do that in Pages for IPAD?

    With one finger select an object and hold with another finger select the other objects one by one.

  • DITA - Multiple objects in anchored frame

    Hi,
    I'm using the DITA features in FrameMaker 9. I'd like to insert multiple objects in an anchored frame in a DITA topic.
    Right now, if I save an image element containing multiple objects, FrameMaker discards any extra objects in the frame. I've also experimented with adding extra graphics elements to the DTD using the attributes listed in the Structure Application Developer Guide. I can save DITA topics containing the custom elements, but they are not added to the XML file though I can see them in the FrameMaker interface. I have not yet experimented with a DITA specialization.
    When exporting anchored frames in Structured FrameMaker to XML, FrameMaker bundles multiple objects in a frame into a single CGM file.
    Is there a way to export anchored frames to CGM files before saving DITA topics? Is there a plug-in out there that will automatically save the objects in a frame? Can I use read/write rules to define how to treat these frames? How about creating a specialization on the objects element?
    I'd like to use the tools in FrameMaker to modify elements in an anchored frame. I don't see why doing this should break the DITA model if these objects are bundled into a single file on export.
    Thanks,
    - Maura

    Hi Maura...
    The short answer is .. you can't do that.
    DITA knows nothing about "frames" and only allows a single object to be referenced by an image element, so to remain in compliance with the DITA specification the content of a frame is tightly controlled by FM. There's nothing that you'll be able to do via read/write rules or EDD tricks to get FM to write out the data from multiple objects as a CGM .. this is overridden by the internal DITA plugin within Frame. You're correct that in theory FM could merge multiple graphics into a CGM, but this really wouldn't be a good way to operate since the text or other objects would no longer be editable. You can do this now using Illustrator or other applications that let you store the text and objects on separate layers, then save to a single file. Reference this single file in the image element in DITA.
    That said .. we are looking into supporting some subset of multiple graphic objects within a frame in DITA-FMx, and this feature may be available in an upcoming beta.

  • Flatten Multiple Objects in a PDF

    Can anyone let me now how to flatten multiple objects in a single Page PDF

    Not sure you understand the definition of "flatten" in PDF:
    Flattening a page means that annotations (comments and markups) are converted into elements on the page, and are removed from the comments list. The page objects (text, vectors, bitmaps etc.) are not altered in any way, not combined and not rasterized.
    If you want to convert an entire page into a bitmap image of a page, then export the file as a series of images (File > Save As > Image) and combine them back into a PDF, making sure to disable OCR. If you want to selectively-combine some page elements and retain others, you will need to do that in the original file, or import the page into Adobe Illustrator and perform the edits there. Acrobat can't do it.
    If you want to flatten comments, in the sense I described above, then you can either open the debug console (Ctrl-J) and type flattenPages() [press ENTER], or use one of the scripted add-on tools which run the command via menu items or panel buttons.

  • Selecting Multiple Objects with Output Preview Causing Problems

    I'm trying to edit a PDF and need to select multiple objects. Without Output Preview open, I can easily select all the items I need using the shift key. With Output Preview open, whenever I try to select the second object, Output Preview creates a sticky note, instead of selecting the second object.
    I am also using the PitStop Pro plug-in.
    Any idea how to correct this problem? Thanks!

    Unfortunately it seems that the new sticky note feature with the output preview in Acrobat XI uses the same keyboard shortcut as multiple selection tool in Pitstop (shift).
    Closing the output preview is the easiest way to get around this issue.
    We could consider changing the key for multiple selection in PitStop, but 'shift' is pretty much a default, so what could we change it too?
    If anyone has any thoughts could they email me, I am the product manager responsible for Pitstop at Enfocus and my email is '[email protected]'
    All feedback gratefully received.

  • Can't select multiple objects in Pages 10 with "command+click".

    I've always been able to "command+click" to select multiple objects in Pages. However, since I updated to Pages 10, this shortcut does not work. Any thoughts?

    Apple is trying to make the iOS version and Mac versions match. Some incredibly stupid or lazy developers/designers took the iOS version as the standard and changed the OSX version to match. The stupidity in this is that iOS is not a good platform for work in the first place, it's incredibly cludgy to edit/write documents on the ipad, email maybe but editing real documents is a pain is the wazoo. The iPad is ok for watching videos, reading, browsing, but not for efficient work. Being able to select multiple items and work on them is a basic feature of most editors and has been for years. Microsoft Office for OSX is so much better that it will be difficult for Apple can catch up even if they wanted to. It's too bad for Apple makes prettier apps. And now MS Word for the iPad is available and free.

  • IL CS4 Variables to multiple objects

    Hi.
    How can I bind several objects (on the same artboard) to a single, common, variable?
    The methods I've tried don't seem to work.
    This is what I've done:
    Select multiple objects
    Click "make text dynamic" (This created two instances in the Variables panel with the same title and content)
    Click "Capture Data set"
    Click "Save Variable Library"
    Open XML file in notepad to reveal the following:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    Edit the XML node "Variable1" from "Hello World!" to "WTF!"
    Save the XML file and close
    In IL click "Load Variable Library" and select the XML file
    Then I'm presented with a dialogue that reads "The incoming variable library is invalid"
    Am I doing something wrong? What should I do to bind several objects to one variable? Is it even possible to do so?
    BTW, I've read through the "variable" related posts in the forum but couldn't find an answer to this question. Apologies if it does exist and I've simply overlooked it.

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    How can I bind several objects (on the same artboard) to a single, common, variable?
    Think of the bound object as a field in a database. Normally, you wouldn't have two different values assigned to one field. It's not uncommon, however, to have two instances of a single field on a particular form or layout.
    But this is XML based, not table-based. Per my admittedly very limited understanding of XML, each "field" or container or placeholder on the page is associated with one element in one position in the XML. So if you want the same "value" (element) to appear in two locations, you have to have two "fields" on the page and two occurrances of the element listed in the XML, just as you would have to in a web page's linear HTML text.
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    If I want to have, for example, two text objects with identical content but one in Arial 20pt and the other Times 40pt...
    ...Then you would have to have two variables in the dataset containing the same values, bound to the two separate placeholders.
    I agree it's lame. My guess is that Illustrator's Variables function sees relatively little use, compared to the amount of use it would have received as a normal data merge feature based on ordinary tab-delimited data.
    But with XML all the rage a few years ago, I guess AI had to get on the XML bandwagon, too.

  • Problem with Multiple Objects

    Greetings,
    I've been experiencing a strange issue when I have multiple objects in a single document.
    From time to time, Pages deletes an image and then replaces it with a duplicate of another image in the document. The first image disappears, and I end up with two instances of the second image.
    The event seems to occur when I close and save. The problem is intermittent. However, I have been able to reproduce it while scrutinizing my design process to make sure that I'm not responsible for the error. I am very sure that this is a software issue.
    I usually work in Word Processing mode, with tiff images inserted as floating objects in a two column format.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas about how to fix it?
    Thanks!

    Christopher
    The immediate problem I can see is that several of your images have exactly the same name:
    image1.png
    How have you distinguished these on import and kept them apart in Finder?
    I think this is a case of User Error, where you have mixed up identically named files.
    To correct this, gather up all your images and rename them to, preferably, what they are.
    There is however a problem in OSX. It tenaciously hangs onto the original file's name to track it even after you move it.
    So open each file in turn in Preview, make a very slight edit like a small crop and rename it.
    I suggest using 2 naming conventions:
    Example: 01.03 xxxxx.png
    Where that is page 01 image 03 and xxxxxx = the psalm name.
    This way you can easily differentiate the images and place them in order in the file.

  • Can crosstab show multiple objects in top header?

    can crosstab show multiple objects in top header?

    anyone can help me on this?
    thanks.

    Can you see this image?
    https://weblogs.sdn.sap.com/weblogs/images/252123862/trick2.JPG
    The steps I did to get it were:
    1. Insert a crosstab.  In the first column put this formula
    =[customer]
    2. In the blue row cell do not put the city name directly but this formula:
    ="*London*"
    3. Add 3 columns. In each blue cell (header cells) put this formulas: ="Paris", ="food"
    , ="*milk*"
    4. Now, in the white cells:
    In the first column put this formula:
    =Max([city_value] Where ([city_name]="London"))
    In the second
    =Max([city_value] Where ([city_name]="Paris"))
    In the third column:
    =Max([product value] Where ([product_name]="food"))
    In the fourth column:
    =Max([product value] Where ([product_name]="milk"))
    Sadly this is not dynamic as you can see, but is the only way to achieve what you want to display.
    Otherwise better follow the advice by the other posters.

  • Do multiple objects of class are handled as process or threads?

    Hi
    I was thinking that how multiple objects of same java class are handled on any app server?
    Will it be Thread based or Process based executtion.
    I think it will be Process based handling for different objects as they do not have anything to share(Pls correct if I am wrong)
    I have below basic questions for any concurrency handled by Java framework fo any app server
    1) If I have one non static method which has below two lines
    if(file.exists() == true) ///line 1
    file.delete(); //line 2
    So for one request one new object has been created which comes to execute method which has above 2 lines,
    If it executes first line and meanwhile ,App sever switches to second object execution which executes both line then now when First object's execution will be started ,it will be error some?
    Is it right understanding ,if yes then what should we do?
    2) If I have one static method for all objects share same space with same above definition thn what will happen?
    Thanks in advance

    Sometimes it is simpler to compensate rather than avoid the scenario.
    e.g. it may be simpler to just ignore the error rather that try to enforce some locking.
    For example, what happens if you or another program deletes the file at the wrong moment and both threads fail. Can you synchronise the user as well? no.
    Can I use synchonised here for method definition which will make sure that only one thread completes both lines other will wait till time?Yes. but you could still get a failure.
    It depends and what you are trying to achieve.
    You need to look at a real example.I appreciate your help but I still have some things going in my mind which I am putting here, if you find inappropriate ,can you put in simple words for my understanding.
    When we say for two web rquest , app server will create 2 threads that means thoes two thread are specific to app sever which use same resource of app server ,but independent of java classes.So when each request creates one object each for java class, two threads are two independent processes for app server as we dont have any static variables or static functions for that java class.
    Why do you say
    Yes. but you could still get a failure.
    It depends and what you are trying to achieve.Will synchonised(this){
    if(f.exists())
    f.delete();
    will not take care of serialisation here,I think it will

  • Memory usage/freeze/crash modifying multiple objects

    I'm getting Labview hanging issues when I try to modify front panel objects while editing (not running).  It seems to be a general problem but this is the current scenario.  Many charts on my front panel (over thirty), so I multiple select, and RClick>Properties.  Watching Labview in Task Manager, I watch the Memory usage climb from about 90MB to 600MB.  And it takes a minute at least!  I can then change properties (plot scale ranges), and after more pausing, the dialog closes.  Soon after, I'll get a fatal error and LV crashes.  Something wrong here; I thought maybe it's my computer, but how can it take 0.5GB to load 30 chart property sets?  Core i5, LV2011, Win7.

    Do you have the chart history lengths set to large values (many MB)?  Do you have significant amounts of data saved as default in the charts?
    Try clearing the charts, one at a time if necessary, first.
    Charts have internal buffers. So LV may be trying to make backup copies so that you can undo if you change your mind.  Charts are generally not a good way to manage large amounts of data.  I use as a rule of thumb: Do not keeping more data in a chart than the number of pixels in its width.
    Lynn
    I aggree that crashing could be due to the amount of data in the charts. Try clearing them and saving the cleared chart as the default before doing the multiple object selection.
    I guess I live a more dangerous life-style that Lynn in that I'll allow more data points than pixels simply because LV is "SO DAMN GOOD" at rendering down the data and supporting zooming. "In the old days" it was a common technique to reduce the data sets presented to charts to avaoid killing the CPU. So Lynn's "rule of thumb" is consistent with history. modern CPU can handle the abuse much better now so I can get away with living close to the edge.

  • Need to shift multiple objects across many frames

    I don't know if this is even possible, but what I'd like to
    do is shift multiple objects, in multiple layers, across multiple
    frames. The problem is that I built a complex animation as a movie
    symbol within the root movie. It got so complex, however, that I'd
    like to just go ahead and make it the main timeline for the root
    movie. But when I copy and paste the frames from the symbol back
    out into the root timeline, the location is wrong. Everything is in
    the correct location relative to each other element, but wrong
    relative to the stage. Is there any way to grab everything up in
    all of those layers and frames and just shift it all over to where
    it's supposed to be? Or can I somehow shift the stage under it?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Regular Expression Validator - want to edit an object acct field

    The field is a character field. But the field must be editted as follows:
    Field must either be 4 numeric numbers with the first position always an 8 so it could be a range from 8000 to 8999
    But I must also allow them to enter "8%" or "8n%" or "8nn%" where n represents a number. They want me to allow wild cards.
    How would I define this edit on the same field.
    1) First Validation: If it has a "%" then the first digit must be an 8 then I can have any of the wild card combinations given above.
    2) Second Validation: If no wild card then the field must be in the range from 8000-8999
    Is this validation a candidate for Regular Expression Validator or for my own custom method.
    If I can code this as a regular expression validator how would I code it. I spent the last day looking on the web for Regular Expression Validator examples.

    I get the following errors that occur. I can key 8% or 8ddd but when I try these combinations 8d% or 8dd% then the following errors pop up. It gives multiple error but I am just keying on a single line. I can add multiple object lines but just one at a time.
