Find colored text

Hi Experts,
How to grep CMYK color. i.e Find colored text by giving CMYK values like (C=0,M=100,Y=0,K=0)
Regards,
Sangeetha

Here is an example:
var doc = app.activeDocument;
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
app.findGrepPreferences.fillColor = SetColor("C=0 M=100 Y=0 K=0");
app.changeGrepPreferences.fillColor = SetColor("C=0 M=0 Y=100 K=0");
var changeResult = doc.changeGrep();
function SetColor(colorName) {
    var color;
    var swatch = doc.swatches.item(colorName);
    if (app.colors.item(colorName) != null) {
        color = app.colors.item(colorName);
    else {
        color = app.colors.add({name:swatch.name, space:swatch.space, model:swatch.model, colorValue:swatch.colorValue});
    return color;

  • [AS] CS3- Find any text with style, then replace that text with a new applied fill color.

    I am trying to find the simplest way in cs3 to find any text with style, then replace that text with a new fill color. I can find text and change text. I can find a style and change it to a new style. I can't seem to find a style and change the applied fill color. I do not want to change the properties of the style, just the applied color. Yes, I want the + sign, for now. I know, why not update the style, I am not allowed to. Any help would be great. Since the search is not available, I need a new response.
    Thanks.

    You can work around the bug by just doing a find, then looping through the<br />results, changing the color one at a time. It'll be a fraction slower, but<br />should do the trick:<br /><br />tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"<br />    set find text preferences to nothing<br />    set properties of find text preferences to {applied paragraph style:"The<br />name"}<br />    set theFinds to find text document 1<br />    repeat with i from 1 to count of theFinds<br />        set properties of item i of theFinds to {fill color:"Replace color"}<br />    end repeat<br />end tell<br /><br />The bug is fixed in CS4, BTW.<br /><br />-- <br />Shane Stanley <[email protected]><br />AppleScript Pro Florida, April 2009 <a href=http://scriptingmatters.com/aspro>

  • My HP Color LaserJet CP1215 has colored text quality problems

    My printer was working fine, but in the last month, I have been unable to correct a printing issue, which involves colored text that double prints or is blurry, it looks like it has a shadow mostly any color has a red shadow.  I have replaced all the cartridges, checked to make sure the tape was pulled off all and performed a cleaning, and all tests I could find or had access to.  I am beyond frustrated and am ready to throw it out the window.  Does anyone have any solutions?

    Don't quit keep with it, I almost quit because I was getting mad.  They kept harping on changing paper, changing paper.  My paper had sat in it for some time in a room where temperature changes was up and down.  The paper could have dried out to much or may have gotten moisture in it from the temperature changes.  I know it sounds crazy but change the paper with fresh paper along with calibrating it 3 or 4 times and see if you get different results.

  • Bizarre colored text in 10.4.6

    Last night I updated my 17-inch PowerBook (1GHz, 1GB) to 10.4.6 using Software Update (which has always worked fine for me in the past). Since doing so, when it renders black text, odd bits of color show up in and around the characters. It's not a problem with explicitly-colored text. I've searched the forum, and find no reference to this one. I see a lot of advice to install from the combo updater rather than Software Update, so I tried that, but the symptoms remain. No "font smoothing" setting in Appearance makes any difference, and it persists if I change screen resolutions. Some other bits of text are being rendered oddly as well, but it's hard to be more specific than that.
    To see what I'm talking about, look at http://surly.org/finder.png and http://surly.org/fontbook.png -- the fact that I'm able to take screenshots shows that it's not something in my display hardware.
    Suggestions would be appreciated.
    17-inch PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Problem occurs in all accounts (even a freshly-created one) and all applications (web browsers look particularly ugly).
    As I said, none of the font smoothing settings change it a bit. It could still be related, though, because in general I use larger fonts than 12-point, which is the highest setting in "turn off text smoothing".
    I have not tried repairing permissions, because I can't envision what difference it would make, and as a systems professional I try to stay away from the "just try this, it fixes things sometimes" sorts of solutions, but I suppose I could give it a whirl.

  • Laser Jet Printer/Color Text Prints Grey

    Hi everyone, I have a HP LaserJet 2430, black & white printer hooked up to my iMac. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.6. When I want to print, for example, an email where a color was used for the font, the colored font prints in grey. When I was able to use the printer driver of my choice, I believe I used a PS or post script driver and everything printed in solid black. Now that the operating system is choosing the drivers for us, I seem to have this grey text issue. I've tried going to HP and downloading older drivers but they wouldn't install on my system, something about the drivers being older versions or something. I'd sure like to be able to choose my own drivers. Can anyone lend any help on this?
    I am able to make the colored text print a little darker but I have to go through many dialog boxes to change different settings and I just want to print quickly but any application but be able to read the text a little easier.
    Thanks for any help!

    Hello Arifbutt72,
    To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since the Color LaserJet printer 3600 is a commercial product. You can do this at HP Enterprise Business Community.
    I hope this helps!

  • Echo colored text in a shell script?

    As part of a shell script I'm working on, I want to be able to print colored (preferably red) text to the Terminal window, to provide warnings to the user.
    How can I code in echoing colored text?

  • Laserjet CP2025 When printing colored text I get a shadow/halo around each letter

    I am able to print black text perfectly but when I try to print any colored text there is a shadow/halo around each letter that makes it difficult to read. I tried turning off the Edge control in the printing properties section but the problem stayed the same. Any ideas on what my problem might be? Thank you.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    We need more detail. What program are you printing with? Do you get the same color effect no matter what program you are using? The program you use when you get color halos have you used that program before and did not get halos?
    Have you tried a different program an still get halos? If so, have you tried reinstalling you printer software package?
    Do the halos appear to be intentional or do they appear to be a quality print problem? If it looks like a quality ink issue, have you removed the color toners and slowly tilted them side to side to mix the toner? If you do that and get good print results, its time to get new or refurbished color toners (or refill them). 
    If the halos appear to be intentional, you probably have a software problem, anything from a degraded driver to settings in the printer manufacturer's software, to Windows. If the problem seems to be software related, you may want to try my "keep it simple stupid" and not try to find out precisely where the problem is but simple do some broad but quick actions.
    First, I would run your registry repair and registry clean utility(ies). I would do a hard drive defrag & then a registry defrag.
    If none of this ends the problem, I'd uninstall and reinstall the entire software package that came with your printer. Before I did that, I think I'd reinstall the program that is printing halos in color mode.

  • Publisher to PDF - saves colored text as gray?

    For some unknown reason, when I save a Microsoft Publisher document as a pdf, anywhere there was colored text is gray in the pdf version.  Colored boxed show up correctly.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader twice with the same result.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?  Thanks!

    I would suggest finding a forum for MS Publisher since it uses it's own PDF engine. It more than likely has something to do with that step. Reader is just seeing the results.

  • Fade From B&W To Color With Full Color Text Animation Overlay

    So, this is my first time EVER  using any kind of serious video editing software.  I'm doing it LEGALLY using the University Macs and the software that is installed on it.  I'm a TOTAL novice at all of this.  I think I'm biting off on more than I can handle, but hopefully somebody can help with this.  I want a clip at the very beginning of the video to start with B&W video and fade into color at a specific point that corresponds with a point in some music that I'm using as the "soundtrack" so to speak.  There will be a colored text animation that begins during the B&W portion and then that text will need to fade before the B&W video fades to color.  I've been looking for as much information as I can about this.  I've looked at youtube tutorials and step-by-step text tutorials (I prefer text with screenshots) on how to do this, but nothing that I find seems to accommodate everything that I'm trying to do here.  If somebody would be so kind and patient enough as to humor a complete NOOB and walk me through this as though they're talking to a 12-year-old (I'm 37) who knows NOTHING about video editing, it would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you so much.

  • Printing light-colored text from a Web page

    On a Web page that contains some light-colored text (such as the Apple Store MacBook models page <http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?nnmm= browse&node=home/shop_mac/family/macbook&sf=wHF2F2PHCCCX72KDY>), is it possible to have the light gray text print darker? When I print such pages on my color laser printer, that gray text is almost too faint to see. Thanks for any pointers.

    Welcome to the Forums!
    Depends mostly on the printer you are using, which will determine the settings available. In the Print dialog box, click on the pop-up menu that shows as Copies & Pages. Look for options that deal with color. For example, an inkjet printer I have shows a Color Management setting, with an option for "pure black and white" - that setting would print the light gray text as black. On the other hand, for an HP Color Laser printer, the Color Options doesn't provide any settings that are useful for what you want to do (even under the advanced options). The best I could find was in ColorSync (that choice will be present for all printers), choose "Lightness Decrease" from the Quartz Filter pop-up menu. That seems to darken the printed gray text a little bit.
    Hope this helps...

  • Color text output

    Hi,
    how can I give colored text output to a screen???
    Tnx!!
    Romisr

    From that link I gave you, it looks like Solaris directly supports escape sequences which allow color. Some Windows enviroments support ansi.sys which will handle escape sequences and allow color. If you do a little searching, you can probably find something in JNI which will allow you to do this.
    So the answer is...
    is it possible? Yes
    Is it easy and platform independent? No

    Hi Amit,
    In application area FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING , go for node LINE ITEM. Here create a step & maintain the prerequisite as per your requirement & in the check you can mention the code or you can direct it to a custom program like ZFI_RGGBR000.
    Here while maintaining the check you will get structures BKPF & BSEG in which you will get the desired field you are looking for.
    Just try to explore in your system how the other validations are maintained.
    After you are done with all your code, you have to run the regeneration program RGUGBR00.
    Here utmost care should be taken while running regeneration program, you should select all the checkboxes in the selection screen except  GENERATE SETS, GEN SUBSTN ROUTNS IN ALL CLNTS  & TRACE PROG. GENERATE CALLS .
    Hope this make your doubt clear.

    Go into outline view. If you can see the outlines of the letterforms, you can't just change the text. If the letterforms are solid black, take the type tool, select the text and type yours.
    Anyway you can just select the letters, take the type tool and type new text.
    Working with the type tool is a basic. Please see the manual for details
