Help me post / fireworks Slice tool

Hi All,
I am trialing fireworks as a mac user and I'm having a few issues with the PDF export. After creating multiple pages I wanted to use the slice tool to link them together, This was simple but when I exported the PDF file the main navigation links, like home for example it came out with a black square border around the text and I was hoping it wouldn't show. If any one has any ideas, it would be appreciated.
Many thanks

Since this is a Fireworks-specific question, please repost in the Fireworks forum. Thank you.

  • How to disable slice tool's translucent green color?

    Hi,
    When using slice tool to slice a page, Fireworks automatically adds a translucent green color over slices. In general this is helpful, but when I need to positioning slice boundaries precisely based on the subtle shades of underlying objects, this becomes cumbersome since the translucent green color lies over the underlying shades, making it difficult for me to spot the shade transitions.
    Does anyone know how can the translucent green color be disabled while still showing the slice boundaries (not by making "web layer" invisible)?
    Bob

    Go to the Web Layer and turn off the visibility of the individual slices (not the Web Layer itself). You can also use View > Slice Guides to toggle the visibility of the slice boundaries.

  • How can I get the Fireworks pen tool to disengage from an open path shape (and stay disengaged)!

    I am so frustrated! I can't get the fireworks pen tool to disengage when I am finished creating an open path shape (double clicking the end-point isn't working).  The only way I can disengage the pen tool  is to click on a different tool, BUT ...if I do that (i.e., click on a different tool), and then go back to the pen tool (with the intent to create another open path shape), the pen tool automatically engages the last point of my prior open path shape ... and ... no matter what I do, I can't get the pen tool in Fireworks to stop doing this with my open path shapes.
    If anyone has any helpful advice, it would be much appreciated!
    Thank you!
    (note: I prefer not to have to go back and forth creating open path shapes in Illustrator then bring them into Fireworks, but if all else fails, I suppose I'll have to as a work-around.)

    Have you tried holding the Command key and clicking away from the last point? The Command (⌘) key will bring up the Subselection tool; clicking on the canvas with it will allow you to disengage from the path. Once you release the key, the Pen tool will return and you can begin another path.

  • Please help me with the paint tool!

    Sorry for all the simple questions, but I'm having so many problems with Flash's drawing tools it isn't funny.
    What I want to do is draw a series of slightly diagonal stripes. In any other program, I'd use the line tool to draw the partitions and then use the fill tool to fill in the gaps. But in Flash, the paint tool won't do anything. It doesn't matter where I click - it won't work, and a little 'lock' symbol appears on my cursor.
    I know that an alternative way of drawing the stripes is to make a square, resize it and tilt it to exactly the right angle, but this is a slow and painstaking method, and I have to do a lot of them. Also, not all the stripes are perfectly straight.
    It's so frustrating, because I could do this in ten seconds with normal drawing tools, and I've spent about four hours already just trying to figure out this stupid little thing (because this stupid little thing is crucial to my project!). I'd be immensely grateful for any help. Likewise, I'd be very grateful for any help figuring out the brush tool problem on my other post. No matter how much I try and practice, I just can't figure out these drawing tools.

    I am having sort of the same problem but yours I think I can solve... is the layer locked at all?
    I can't fill in any drawing or shape that I draw out and it's a pain... Was wondering if this was similar to yours??

  • How to swap back pic using Web Slice Tool

    I am trying to:
    when I click on a simple black circle it changes to a red color. And when I click the red circle it changes back to the black circle. I am using Web Slice Tool.How do I do that..???
    I have managed mouseOver effect, and changed color clicking other objects but not this one.I have been searching and searching and tried everything but not managed to do this one.
    Thanks for any suggestions... hints... links....

    Hi
    You must use slices or hotspots but you need more than one fireworks behaviors to take place at the same spot which i think cannot be achieved. You may use a slice for a mouse over swap behavior, but where are you going to place another slice or hotspot to get back to your first state? You can place a hotspot on a slice, but is not solving this cause slices and hotspots appear in every state.Maybe someone else has figured out a way to do it.

  • What's wrong with the Slice Tool?

    Illustrator CC on Mavericks (latest updates as of 2/14/2014)
    The slice tool acts like it's snapping to a grid, even though that is turned off. I've also turned off, then cleared all my guides and still, slices refuse to snap to my artwork. It's impossible to draw slices precicely in Illustrator CC anymore. I hope they fix it soon and we don't have to wait for the sun to burn out before getting an update
    For now, I guess workarounds include creating slices from guides or not using slices.

    not using slices.
    that's a great workaround hahaha
    I just read in a previous post that Slices align to pixel grid, that may be the issue

  • Is the slice tool really this buggy?? (pics)

    I am trying to create images for a website using the slice tool.
    When I try to create a slice from selection, it looks ok on the artboard (pixel preview mode), but it shifts the whole slice when exporting!
    What am i doing wrong? I have things set to 'align to pixel grid' in the transform options in the main toolbar at the top. I have the document DPI set to 72. And still, slices get misaligned.
    ALSO: the slice select tool, when resizing a slice, seems to snap to invisible things!? I have snapping disabled in the View menu. What is the deal? Is slicing in Illustrator really that broken? Or am I missing something??
    I've tried searching around the net and nothing seems to explain this strange behaviour..

    Hi Sinrise,
    The problem with the save for web feature in both Illustrator and Photoshop is that png files can only be saved as full 24bit colour with true 8bit transparency - the user cannot save, for example, a 16 colour version with full 8bit transparency.
    It means web "optimized" png versions that are output by Illustrator are often far bigger in file size than what is actually possible with other (free) web optimization utilities - at the same quality.
    At this point Gif should be avoided (many reasons), and only be used for smaller animated web graphics. Gif does not support full transparency, only indexed, which means it is either on or off. No 50% transparency is possible in Gif. In the end Gif results in larger versions than Png anyway.
    Jpg is perfect for photo work, but less than ideal for vector and sharp edged artwork, since it is a lossy format and will introduce fringes and rogue pixels and noise along edges. Even with a quality set to over 90% those noisy artifacts will be introduced in your artwork. And it generally results in much larger file sizes (the eagle head below is ~44kb, and still has noise and fringes everywhere at 85%)
    Png is perfect as a bitmap format for illustrative sharp-edged artwork. It also supports full transparency both for true colour (24 bit) and 8bit (indexed) colour modes. And this is where the save for web feature fails abysmally: it does not allow us to save 8bit png files with full 8bit transparency - only indexed, like gif. So either on or off. Therefore tremendously limiting the use of the save for web functionality in both Illustrator and Photoshop.
    Because with 8bit indexed png files we get fringes or ragged non-antialiased edges with transparent backgrounds.
    Here is what I am talking about (open the original image to compare):
    It means that I was able to produce a perfect fully transparent version that is SMALLER than Illustrator's 8bit version with indexed transparency in Color Quantizer!
    Only Fireworks currently has the option to save png images with full transparency and indexed colours. And we know that FW is scrapped. Twisting the knife in the wound even more, Color Quantizer also allows the user to save limited colour palettes of 512, 1024, 2048 and 4096 colours! And a simple to use quality mask tool is available for difficult cases to safeguard essential artwork areas from degrading in colours!
    Now, you might argue that we are talking about a difference in kilobytes - but I would say that my version loads up almost three times faster, and takes up three times less bandwidth. With more images on the page, it means my page's total bandwidth would be improved by 300%-400% (my experience) compared to designers working with Adobe products only.
    And I have far more control over the exported and optimized colour quality, thus on top of that my work  looks better as well in many instances.
    That is why I decided a long time ago to stop relying on Adobe products to do my web optimization. They are antiquated, and have not really been updated in a long, long time.
    ps RIOT (Radical Image Optimization Tool) also does a better job at jpg optimization, and again the user has more control than the save for web option delivers.

  • Slice tool is arow in save for web and............

    Hi, besides the fact that slice numbers are not showing up here in vista 32 CS4 (show slice number is activated in the preferences and show slices in view as well and I did a reset !) I encountered a other strange thing in "SAVE FOR WEB & DEVICES" when you select the slice tool it doesn't change in a slice tool but stays a arrow and works like a slice tool.
    Hope someone comes with a solution for the slice numbers, they only show up in the "SAVE FOR WEB & DEVICES"dialog. But it's not very handy to work without them.

    Have you patched Photoshop to version 11.0.1 and have you updated your video drivers?
    Is OpenGL enabled in Edit > Preferences > Performance.
