Editing text in bitmap image using Fireworks
Hello,
I would like to know how to edit the text in the attached bitmap image using Fireworks. I have attached the image for reference. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
C. Lee
I'm sorry, but you cant. A bitmap file doesn't contain editable text, it only contains a grid of colored pixels. What you need to do is create a new image. For that, you'll need to know the color and the font.
If you don't have the hex code for the color, you can sample with the eyedropper tool. Since the font is so thin, sample at the thickest area you can find to minimize anti-aliasing color blending.
If you don't know the font, try one of these sites:

(It looks a bit like Century Gothic, but it isn't.)
Good luck!

How do I overlay n number of bitmap images using Java.
Hi All,
I have a task of creating a composite bitmap or a .gif image from "n" number of bitmap images , so that the resulting composite image will look like as if all those "n" images were placed side by side . How can I achieve this ? Can you point me to some place where I can understand the concepts behind this?Create a new BufferedImage with the dimensions of all the images you want combined, then paint all the images into it through the Graphics object you can obtain from the BufferedImage. Then write out the image using the ImageIO class.

How to edit text in JPG image downloaded from Shutterstock? [was: help]
I downloaded a jpeg image from shutterstock.com to use for my baby shower invitation and was told that I would be able to erase the example text and add my own using adobe illustrator but having a hard time figuring this out. Please help.

You were mislead. Text in a flattened raster image (your JPEG) is essentially "burned in" and not editable or erasable in Illustrator. It is true that you could set type over (in front of) an image with Illustrator.
It may be possible to achieve the end result you want, but without seeing the image, it would be difficult to tell you how to proceed. Can you post a screenshot? -
Bitmap images using Dreamweaver 4
I have Dreamweaver version 4, and though I can insert JPEG,
PNG, and GIF images the application won't let me insert BMP files
(I insert them, but the image won't appear). Is there any way I can
fix this?
thanks.>>BMP files are displayed by > Internet Explorer
*only*
Depends on the kind of BMP file it is. And could depend on
the graphics card
of the users computer.
A BMP is a type of bitmap raster graphic in a data file
representing
generally rectangular grid of pixels (points of colour). The
colour of each
pixel is individually defined usually in three bytes...one
byte for each
portion of the RGB colour space.
Photoshop reserves the term "bitmap" for one-bit/channel
images (pure black
or white).
Microsoft's BMP files are generally compressed and need not
even contain
bitmap data (they can contain indexes into palettes).
The monitor doesn't get the raster image. Rather, it gets a
signal which
scans the screen 60 times a second. It's the graphics card
that gets the
raster: it contains memory which it can read and the computer
can write. Of
the several ways the raster could be stored in that memory -
all the red
values together, or the threee colours for each pixel
together, and
vertically or horizontally, etc. etc. - most are in use by
various graphics
cards. It's the job of the device driver toy copy that memory
in the correct
format for the card.
> because the format was invented by Microsoft (I'm
guessing.)
I believe the BMP format was originally developed by IBM but
evolved through
several states by Micosoft since. Microsoft "invented"
version 4 and version
5, BMP formats, for instance. -
Bitmap image not showing up on windows title bar in windows server 2012 std
I have an application written in VC++ (MFC). Its a legacy app. Recently we were asked to check its compatibility with windows server 2012 std edition. We found some issues and one of those is as follows:
1) We display a BITMAP image using Windows.StretchBlt() function on the titlebar of the app. It shows up properly in windows server 2003, win XP and win 7. But doesn't show up in windows server 2012. I am assuming its a windows paint issue because button
is there on titlebar as I can click on it and see the expected behavior. But its just not visible.
Here is some technical workflow:
-> This function get called to paint the framwnd-
CMainFrame::OnNcPaint()
CMDIFrameWnd::OnNcPaint();
// here we have code to paint the bitmap
Could anyone here please tell me why the same code is behaving differently in win server 2012? Also if there is any solution for this.This forum is more of a general purpose forum about Windows Server. You question is more closely related to programming issues. You would be better served to post in a .NET development forum.

Creating a PDF that has editable fields and replaceable images
I've been trying to figure out how I can create a PDF that has editable texts and replaceable images. I'm working for a company in which all computers only have Adobe Reader as means to view or edit a PDF file. So far I have managed to create a file that has editable text fields with customized appearance, which is great! The next step however was to create 'fields' that can be filled by an image. Is there a way to create replaceable images with LiveCycle or any other prorgram for that matter.
My goal is simple: Create a PDF that has editable textfields and replaceable images. All of which should be done in Adobe Reader.
I'm using Adobe Acrobat X Pro to create this file and I'm wondering if Live Cycle can help me with this problem, or if this is even possible to begin with. Thanks in advance.Your goal is very simple with the LCD. You are have to use only an Image Field (important no Image) from the object library.
Any time you can click on it and select a new picture.
Hope this information is helpful?
Kind regards Mandy

How can add some text on the image
I have images in the gif format.
How can I add some text in specified point on the image?
Fpor example, by using Intermedia plugins?We do not support this functionality. I suspect you are talking about watermarking?
I would suggest you send a message to [email protected] , the product manager for interMedia and describe your application. This would be helpful in defining future requirements. He may also know of partners that can supply this technology.
You can add text to an image using JAI or some other packages before the image goes into the database, or when it goes out.

Frame rate goes crazy with editable text sprite
This one is annoying - I have a lot of things that depend on
a steady,
predictable frame rate. But whenever you have the mouse
button held down on
an editable text sprite, the frame rate goes through the
roof. I don't know
what the numbers are exactly, but everything runs MUCH faster
than it
should. This can result in some major timing mis-syncs for
other events
happening on the stage. It looks like the OS is taking over
or something
when you're selecting text on a text sprite. Is there any
easy way around
this? Or should I just try and keep editable text sprites
from being used
on the same frame as time-sensitive code? I'm thinking I
could maybe get
around it by making the sprite non-editable and changing the
text manually
based on keypresses, but that sounds like a lot of work to
basically
reinvent the wheel here for something that should just work,
you know?> Bad idea.

behavior.
Well, what I do is something like:
global timeBase
on exitFrame
if the ticks - timeBase > 2 then
repeat while the ticks - timeBase > 2
timeBase = timeBase + 2
gameLoop()
end repeat
end if
end
So, even if the movie is lagging behind, the gameLoop()
executes at regular
intervals. If more than 2 ticks have passed between this
frame and the
previous, it will execute the gameLoop() script multiple
times in order to
catch up. All the important time-dependant stuff runs in
gameLoop().
This is not what the problem is, however. Most of my
animations on screen
are being shown as Film Loop sprites or in some cases
animated GIFs, and
these are what depend on the steady frameRate. If you click
on an editable
text object, the animations all suddenly speed up until you
release the
mouse button. I guess it's really more of an aesthetic thing
than anything
else, but it just looks really silly when everything suddenly
runs
super-fast just because you clicked on a text sprite. -

Fireworks -- PDF for print, keeping editable text?
I'm trying to print flyers (to PDF) that i've designed in
Fireworks. I'm happy with the images, colors, etc., however, the
text also exports as an image. I'd like to be able to export the
text as text so that when a viewer zooms in on the pdf, the text
does not become grainy. Also, the physical printing of the text
would look much more clear. I'm sure there are proper terms that
i'm not using, but i hope that someone more experienced than me is
reading! Just trying to keep the text "editable" when printing to
PDF from Fireworks. Any input would be appreciated. THanks! (BTW,
going through Photoshop won't work because it changes the text
layout too much.)
thanks again,

In addition to Linda's comments, you can save your Fireworks
.png as an
Illustrator 7 .ai file. Then import that to Freehand or
Illustrator (if
you have them). Most of your design will remain intact and
you might not
have to start from scratch.
I just did that on my pc but, unfortunately, the text is what
imported
the worst.

How do I leave editable text and images in a PDF?
I recently bought a flyer template and it came as an editable PDF. Here is one of the templates http://www.wendygarratt.com/images/flyer.pdf
Every field, both text and graphic object, is fully editable in the free Adobe reader. I have Acrobat X and have tried all the methods of producing something like this but nothing has worked. I wish to produce not just one page template PDFs that can be edited like the one above, but I also have a 20+ page magazine, which currently is distributed in PDF form and I wanted certain image and text fields within the magazine to be customisable too.
I design the magazine using InDesign and the exported pages are composed of 1 large background image with text fields laid over the top. I have tried exporting it as an interactive PDF, ticking the layers option for Acrobat, but when I try to create an editable form (Tools>Forms>Create>Open file) it does not recognise any of the text fields at all.
Can someone please help me before I slam my head repeatedly in a door? I have been searching for a solution for so long and I'm getting rather frustrated.
Thank you in advance
Wendy-GThanks for the replies I've had so far, but I really need some detailed help to sort this.
I want to be able to create a PDF that has editable text and editable graphics over a background image, that can be edited in the free Adobe Reader, as per this item - http://www.wendygarratt.com/images/flyer.pdf
I know this was designed in LiveCycle and I have LiveCycle and Adobe Acrobat Pro X, but LiveCycle is new to me. I am a quick learner (I use Photoshop, InDesign, etc) and need help in getting started.
I am willing to work with someone to help get this sorted but it is urgent that I get to grips with this.
Thanks so much for helping

Can I Scan to editable text on HP Officejet Pro 8620 using the Apple Printer Driver 3.0?
I had a very difficult time getting my new HP Officejet Pro 8620 functioning as well as it does now. I just tried scanning something as editable text for the first time and it ended up being scanned as a pdf. At one point in my various tries there was a note on the printer screen that I did not have the HP OCR software installed.
This may be because the resolution to my installation problems with the HP Officejet Pro 8620 seems to have been reverting to operating with the HP-Apple Printer Drivers 3.0 package instead of the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg installation package.
I do not, therefore, have the HP Scan application on my computer now which is where HP says its OCR software can be found.
So what I'm afraid of is that I'm now running well with the HP-Apple driver but if I do go back and install the HP Officejet Pro v12.32.0 driver software with the HP installer, in order to access the OCR softwware in HP Scan application, I'll mess up everything else.
Is there any chance that the HP-Apple Printer Drivers 3.0 package I have installed also includes OCR software? If so where can I find instructions for activating it and using it with the HP 8620's scanner?
Or can I only get OCR capability with the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg package?
Any experience with this? Should I leave well enough alone? Or can I somehow install the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg package without messing up my current functionality?
Thanks
SteveThe printer driver that is installed automatically from Apple doesn't scan. The scanner part can be accessed through Image Capture, but I don't think that does any OCR on the scan. You'd need a separate program. As you noted, many of the bundled software programs have OCR built-in (albeit limited). From my experience, that is only activated when you scan to "searchable" PDF or something similar. You would then have to extract the text from the PDF.
I don't have an HP printer/scanner, so take this all with a grain of salt.
If you can just install the Scanner utilities, that shouldn't affect the printer portion.
Your other option would be to purchase separate OCR software. Unless you need to scan lots of documents into text, you should further investigate installing the HP scan utilities. -
How to export all images that don't contain editable text
Hi guys,
Is there any hack, script or general function to export all images from a PDF withouth them containing editable text?
For instance, i have a pdf that contains some scanned documents - these need exporting, i also have some tables in there that have editable text in them - these are being exported when i select export all images.
Can anyone help?
Cheers!Search for a word or words in them as a group. Search for .pdf file type and containing....
Use a common word that they all might contain such as "a" or "the", etc.
The files that have been OCR'd will show up in the search. This won't catch 100% of them, but it will allow you to separate most of them. -
Installed update (11.0.08). App still crashes if I try to edit text and images. Any help?
1)Specs: Alienware M17 R4 (laptop)
GPU: GeForce GTX 675M
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i73840QM CPU @ 2.80GHz
Memory: 16GB RAM (15.89 GB available)
Resolution: 1920 x 1080, 60Hz
OS: Windows 7 home premium
2) There is no error message. Acrobat simply closes on me without warning. The program stays open for a brief time, but then closes at random.
3) I have tried running it as an admin, but it does not change anything. The program still closes without my consent.
4) I have tried installing and reinstalling multiple times. It does not work even if I do not get the update (11.0.08)
Thanks,
hiimwillIn that case we might want to have a look at the crash logs to check what is failing.
How to create a user-mode process dump file in Windows Vista and in Windows 7
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931673
Also please be aware that if you are using a 64-bit system you need to follow a different procedure to collect the DMP file to avoid us getting this error from the IDE when attempting to view the file “Debugging a 64-bit dump of a 32-bit process is not supported, please collect a 32-bit dump of a 32-bit process."
You can get the correct dump by going to the location referenced in this blog excerpt:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/amb/archive/2011/05/12/do-not-collect-32bit-process-dumps-with-64b it-task-manager.aspx
So, you need to use 32bit debugger, if you would like to collect a dump of a 32bit process. So, if your process is 32bit, then you need to run 32bit version of the task manager on a 64bit OS. 32bit task manager is located in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder and the name of the file is taskmgr.exe.
