Expanding Text Options

I'm putting together a photo book of old photos that I have scanned and need to include a lot of annotations. The formal theme I have been using doesn't seem to allow additional text to be added once you fill the text box frame. Is there any way to expand on this or maybe a better theme to use?

In the book layout viewer there will be two buttons next to each other in the upper left corner if you hover your mouse over the one will say edit content, the other edit layout. Don't forget to switch back when you are done.

  • IMovie 6 HD Expanded Text Options Plugin

    I would like to have more flexibility in the use of text in titles in iMovie 6 HD.  I'm looking for a plugin that will allow for more user control of text including multiple fonts, multiple sizes, etc in a single title.  Is there such a plugin available that would allow more "word-type" text manipulation possibilities?

    Check out this plug-in from cf/x:
    http://www.imovieplugins.com/titlehome.html
    Click on 'Simple Caption' in the l/h column. Note that it seems to only work with Postscript fonts.
    You can test it for free, or buy it for only $6!
    I use several of their plug-ins, they work great, but I haven't tried this one (no, I am not related to them!)

  • Creating an expandable text field without a scrollbar

    Hi All! Hope someone can help.
    I need to create a flowable subform that will allow text fields to expand without a scrollbar. I have been researching the forums and have found this thread:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/2372965
    When modifying the template above for practice, The fields expand correctly but when i make one from scratch it doesnt work at all!
    Here are the steps I have followed in creating a expandable text field from scratch:
    1. Open Adobe Lifecycle Designer and open a plain blank form
    2. Take a "text field" from the object library and place it on the form
    3. I noticed there is already a blue border (subform) for this document by default for the new form so I changed the content from "position" to "flowed", flow direction from "top to bottom"  and checked "allow page breaks". Also changed the layout for y: autofit
    4.  I then right clicked on the text fields orange border and clicked "wrap in subform".  I changed the content from "position" to "flowed", flow direction from "top to bottom"  and checked "allow page breaks". Also changed the layout for y: autofit
    5. Finally for the text field itself I made sure that "allow multiple linkes" and "allow page breaks within content" was checked. Also changed the layout for y: expand to fit
    I still cant get it work am I missing something? Ive been twirking around with this for hours and this forum wont let me upload my example. Any help would be great!

    Hi,
    You need to save the form as dynamic pdf form i.e xdp and on exit of the text field only text field will be expanded.
    But make sure the main form should be flowed and page breaks should be allowed.Textfield should have the allow multiple lines option ,allow page breaks,and auto expand height(Y axis) should be checked.

  • Create expandable text boxes & maintain Indesign interactive features

    I have a form created in indesign which has interactive buttons included. I exported to pdf and now need to add expandable text boxes. I tried to do this in Livecycle but when i imported the pdf as a flowable form (with a view to make it dynamic) the interactive buttons i had created disappeared. is there a way around this so that i can create expandable text boxes but still maintain the buttons i have created?
    PS i am completely new to Livecycle

    Hi Reggie,
    Here are two versions. One form with a fixed number of pages and the other with a variable number of pages (you can add additional page 1).
    In the fixed number of pages, the click event of the index button includes the following instruction to go to a target page:
    xfa.host.currentPage = 1;
    This works because the page we want is always "1".
    If the form is dynamic and the number of pages can increase (or decrease) from those set at design, then we need to track the actual page number of each target page, at runtime.
    The script in the index button now looks like this:
    xfa.host.currentPage = page2.thisPage.rawValue - 1;
    Here the target page is page2 and on this page we have a field called "thisPage". The instruction is to jump to the current value of thisPage on page 2.
    For each target page that you want to index, you will need a hidden field (thisPage). You need to put this on each page and not on the Master Page.
    Hopefully the examples will help explain this.
    This is how we do it, there probably are other solutions out there.
    In relation to the second part, the link feature in Acrobat will not work with a form developed in LC Designer. Paul has a thread (http://forums.adobe.com/message/1923918#1923918) with a PDF for attaching documents, which were then listed in a list box. This could help you in developing your form.
    Another option is to have a button which becomes visible is there are attachments in the PDF. The click event then shows/hides the attachment panel. The user can then see the attachment and double click on the one they want/need. I know it is not as clean, but it is easier to implement. The javascript for the button would be:
    app.execMenuItem("ShowHideFileAttachment");
    Hope that helps,
    Niall

  • I can't expand text in illustrator

    I expand text in Illustrator all the time but can't seem to do it now.  I also can't see the anchor points.
    I've rebooted my PC twice with no luck.
    Any advice?

    ghnedak,
    Ah, then it was a temporary corruption, see items 1) and 2) on the following list.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Text options

    Hi all,
    i had a question regarding when writing something with the text option in photoshop, you then have the option of making it smooth, strong, sharp, crisp.
    What do these options do to the text? i cant really notice the difference, is there a recommended option for print or web that i should be using?

    Depends on a number of factors:
    how you want the type to look
    resolution
    file format (eg: gif or jpeg)
    Font attributes: weight, serif thickness, webfont
    so the answer would be very long. But thismakes an important differecne for low resoltuon digital graphics, and not so much for print.
    None - Applies no anti-aliasing
    Sharp - Type appears at its sharpest
    Crisp - Type appears somewhat sharp
    Strong - Type appears heavier
    Smooth - Type appears smoother

  • I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

    I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

    The application Acrobat provides no language translation capability.
    If you localize the language for OS, MS Office applications, Acrobat, etc to the desired language try again.
    Alternative: transfer a copy of content into a web based translation service (Bing or Google provides a free service).
    Transfer the output into a word processing program that is localized to the appropriate language.
    Do cleanup.
    Be well...

    I deleted a contact, but they still show up in my text options to send.  I would like to delete the contact from my texts too.

    No don't restore your iphone. I've done that several times & it has never worked. -I still have deleted contacts in my iphone texts.  *However if you do restore it you will not lose all your data, pics, text messages etc if you backup in iCloud. It restores back to original phone. Very nice :). Anyhowwww....
    I JUST  figured it out!! :))). Remove the contact from recents.
      Start a text. You should see the deleted contact. All the way to the right of the name is a symbol. The symbol is a circle with "i" in the middle. Click that symbol then in red lettering click "remove from recents".

  • How do I get more text options in photoshop??

    How do I get more text options in Photoshop?  I have the basic package, but I would like more script options.
    Thank you,
       Maureen

    I don't suppose you have a full CC subscription?  It comes with a feature called Typekit which I love. Along with an ever increasing range of top quality fonts, it has the best font manager I have used, and excellent search facility.
    The web is full of additional font sites like dafont

    Otherweise, Google is your friend
    If you want Text Effects then Google will help you out there as well

  • Change Locale / UI Text Options of Photoshop CS4

    Sorry to bug you all but I've searched the answer to this for two days and can't find anything.
    I recently installed CS4 Design Premium on a PC running Windows 7. When I resize an image (Image>Image Size), the dialog window always displays the Document Size in centimeters. Unfortunately I'm in the U.S. and haven't yet converted to the metric system and it's a royal pain to change the drop-down to inches each time.
    In my "Locales" folder the only subdirectory that exists is, "en_GB". In Edit>Preferences>Interface:UI Text Options:UI Language there is only one option available which is "English: UK". I'm pretty sure that during the initial install of the suite I selected "United States" as my Locale. And is there any reason to have a drop-down with only one choice and no means of adding others (no need to answer this one, I'm just thinking out loud)?
    Is there any way to add the United States as a Locale without having to re-install the Suite?
    Many Thanks

    Is there any way to add the United States as a Locale without having to re-install the Suite?
    The locale for the main program is defined by the serial, not necessarily by your language selection. Shared components derive their locale from this as well and/or in part from the system setting. That issue with installs wrongly using en_GB is quite common, though. It usually occurs when other Adobe software with shared components already was on the system and coerced the installer into using the wrong language. However, short of reinstalling everything Adobe after having sweeped clean with uninstalls and the CS4 Clean Script, there is no way to resolve this.

  • Saving preferred Shadow Text options in powerpoint 2013

    Hello,
    I'm trying to save my powerpoint format shape text options for shadow text, I see there are presets, but I am wondering would I be able to save a custom setting as a reset?
    This is under Format, Text effects, shadow, shadow options.

    maybe you can create a customized template to store shadow text.

  • More text options in Print Module

    It's frustrating to be able to do just about everything in LR - but not quite.  I'd like more text options for the printing module.  For example, when I'm printing a limited edition print, I put the edition number in the bottom left corner, under the image, within the border of the print.  The title goes in the middle, slighty larger font, and then possibly a watermark.
    I can use the Identity Plate to create a nice looking title, but the Photo Info will only print in the middle with no options for positioning it anywhere else, or no options for other fonts.

    I would second this proposal..... with a serious passion.  I think it is unbelievable that Adobe will not provide us with the option to print the metadata with our images.
    The current metadata print options are in the dark ages, a joke and an insult to anyone trying to put a proper caption on a printed image.  For example, one cannot currently control the postion or font of a basic caption, never mind a considered template which might incorporate copyright, date, author, etc..   I also make folios (ala Lenswork).  Unfortunately, a detour to PS also means that this must be done manually, rather than using a template.  Adobe have all the tools to make this work, many of them are in the Slideshow module, so already the code is inside Lightroom.   It is so sad that a company like Blurb can provide these tools free of charge in free software, but Adobe seem incapable of providing these basic features.  I was disappointed they were not in version 1, frustrated when missing from version 2 and  apoplectic when not in version 3. I might excuse the omission if I could build a template in PS which allowed me to place text from the metadata into a formattted page layout, but this is not possible either. So despite the fact I have purchased both Lightroom and Photoshop, and paid for upgrade after upgrade of both products, this basic facility is still missing.
    I can only deduce that people in Adobe print images in two modes.
    1) a lonely image in approx middle of the page with no text formatting or
    2) an image in draft mode with a caption and a name plate and uncontolled other text in ad hoc placements (totally unsuitable for presenting to a client).
    I would put this requirement ahead of so many other popular requests (even ahead of requests such as networked storage, soft proofing, etc).  I can mention other software products who do a really good job of printing meta data with images, do serious work on sharpening, etc. for a fraction of the cost of the Lightroom / Photoshop combination. Becasue I am on an Adobe site I will not mention the names of these non Adobe products. If these small companies can solve this problem, surely Adobe can do so as well.
    I also find that I cannot trust the page setup templates that I do create. It seems to me that many of the properties (ie page size, orientation, matt / gloss options) disappear without warning.  I suspect this happens when I have problems printing to networked Epson printers (maybe others, but I only use Epson ...with Windows 7.)  This is very frustrating when my template changes from Matt in to Gloss, with subsequent wasted of ink and frustration and lost time in correcting and re-updating the template.
    Adobe, please finish the Print Module.  I do not want any more glitzy updates to publishing to the most recent social media exchange medium. Can we not get basic printing working first.
    (..... thanks for listening.....end of rant).

  • Wrap text options, are they really limited?

    I was curious if there was a way to dial in precise NONuniform wrapping options.
    I have a place holder box that I want the text to wrap around and give a 5pt space on all but the right side... I want that 20pts.
    In the wrap text options it's all uniform.

    You’ll have to edit the path to add 15 points to the right side. One simple way would be to copy it with a +15 point horizontal offset then merge the two paths with Pathfinder.

  • Expanding text fields

    I have inserted text fields, but they only allow a one line response. I was told to go to text fields, then format, then word wrap and then to put in total characters, but can't find any of those options. I was also told not to upload a pdf file to forms, but when i tried my document in word doc format it wouldn't let me select it to upload. I can make the fields in the pdf version, but none of these options appear. How do i set up text fields that allow for long answers, or alternatively, is there a way to make a pdf writable to someone can fill out a questionnaire?

    If you asking about a text field that you create in Acrobat, you need to bring up the text field properties dialog and select the Options tab, and select the Multiline option. You can specify a character limit, but you don't have to. If you select the "Scroll long text option, the user will be able to input more text than can be displayed in the field at one time.
