How can I resize my symbols etc?

I'm just getting to grips with Illustrator and working my way through a text book. It tells me to rezise the symbols by holding down the shift key and dragging the corner of the symbols transform lines but nothing happens. I expect it to work like it does in Photoshop but all it does is move the symbol. What am I doing wrong?! I have tried other keys but no luck. Thanks for you help in advance...

Firstly, thank you for taking the trouble to answer my question!
I can resize objects as you have shown in Photoshop but for some reason it won't allow me to in Illustrator. I click on the selection tool and a then click on the object I want to resize but it only moves the object, whether I hold down the shift key or not. I have tried a few permutations of all the keys (shift, ctrl, cmd, alt...) just to see if it was different on my keyboard but no joy. There are only 'handles' in the corners on the blue lines not on the centre of each line and I don't get a double arrow when placed over the handles. I've got no idea why this is happening or how to correct it! Any ideas??

    Hi,

    see this doc if needed
    A variable in SAPscript is called a symbol. There are the following types.
    • System symbol (e.g. the number of the current page)
    • Standard symbol (usable in any document)
    • Program symbol (value from the print program)
    • Text symbol (“local variable”)
    The value of a symbol is text for using within SAPscript code and is represented by the symbol-name enclosed by ampersands. On seeing the tell-tale ampersands in SAPscript code, you sometimes need to figure out the symbol type.
    goto any PAGEWINDOW's Text elements in Script (SE71)
    from the Menu-> INSERT-> Symbols
    you find all symbols here
    System symbols
    System symbols in a SAPscript form are comparable to system fields like SY-UZEIT in an ABAP program, and include these. The graphical editor offers three types of system symbol.
    1. General system symbols
    See the table TTSXY. PAGE is the most widely used. The list given in our BC460 training manuals is out of date.
    2. SAPscript system symbols
    See the dictionary structure SAPSCRIPT. SAPSCRIPT-FORMPAGES is the most widely used.
    3. ABAP system symbols
    For the ABAP system field SY-UNAME, say, the symbol is SYST-UNAME. http://SYST is the dictionary structure for ABAP system fields.
    Sample code:
    User: &SYST-UNAME&
    Page &PAGE& of &SAPSCRIPT-FORMPAGES(C3)&
    Standard symbols
    Standard symbols are maintained centrally (in the table TTDTG via transaction SE75) for use in any document. Menu path:
    Tools
    Form Printout
    Administration
    Settings
    Some standard symbols are SAP-standard and others are custom. Curiously, table TTDTG is cross-client although SAPscript forms are not.
    The value of a standard symbol has to be defined for each language used. This gives a way to make a single SAPscript form multi-lingual.
    We can take advantage to an extent of the central maintenance, though there is no guarantee that the available standard symbols will used in every appropriate context.
    Standard symbols complicate searching a SAPscript form, since text like ‘Charity registration 211581’ may be hiding in a standard symbol.
    Text symbols
    A text symbol is declared and assigned to within the SAPscript code, and so obviously applies only to the current document. The command DEFINE is used, requiring /: in the tag column, as in the following examples.
    /: DEFINE &COMP_NAME& = ‘University of Warwick’
    /: DEFINE &WS_RATE& = &TAX_SUMM_C&

  • How can I resize a photo in iPhoto without cropping it?

    I am taking pictures on my iphone 4s and using iphoto to edit them on macbook pro.  I need to upload these photos at a size much smaller than what i am able to take with my phone.  The only way I see to adjust the size of a photo in iphoto is to crop it.  How can I resize without cropping?
    Thank you

    It's an option in the Export menu.
    File -> Export and under the Size option you can choose the maximum you prefer. Export that and upload from the desktop.

  • How can I use Greek symbols in a text in Pages? Greek symbols are not in the special character list.

    How can I use Greek symbols in a Pages text? Greek symbols are not included in the special character collection.
    I need to import for example a sigma from Word or Adobe illustrator and then Pages can recognise it. I can not find it from within Pages.

    Special character palette from the edit menu does have sigmas under European ... > Greek ...
    You can do a search at the bottom of the Special Character palette. Double click on the greek capital letter sigma. You will get a lot of sigmas.

  • How can I resize partition? - New larger hard drive installed

    Hello,
    The hard drive on my MacBook Pro recently died on me (just past my Apple Care warranty - lucky me).  I sent it to an authorised reseller/repair place and they installed a new hard drive for me - replacing my old 250GB with a nice new 500GB.  The problem is when they copied over the disk image from my previous hard drive they did not scale up the image (yeah, not so happy bout that).  Now I find myself with a 500GB hard drive with a 250GB partition called Macintosh HD and 250GB of unused/unusable space.  On top of that I'm just starting to get messages saying boot disk nearly full.  How can I resize the "Macintosh HD" partition to use the entire disk?  I've tried using disk utility, clicking on the main drive, going to the partition tab and dragging the Macintosh HD partition to use the entire disk but after a few seconds of a message saying "waiting for disk to reappear" it returns to the same 250GB size.  Running OSX 10.9.3.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks all!

    See the tips in pounding's section on using Disk Utility:http://pondini.org/OSX/Home.html and you could also take the route of buying an external hard drive (a great idea of maintaining a backup), format that drive for Mac OS X Extended (Journaled), clone the startup disk to that drive, then boot from the external, erase and format the internal, then clone the external back to the internal partitioned as you want.

  • How can I resize a pdf page content with annotations and highlights in Acrobat Pro?

    How can I resize a pdf page content with annotations and highlights in Acrobat Pro while maintaining page size and annotation/highlight interactivity? I've tried to use the crop tool in Acrobat Pro (9) and the page does resize, but the highlights and annotations go all over the place. I specifically need to scale the page content smaller (83%) but maintain page size and annotation/highlight to content connection and interactivity.

    An old trick (not recommended) would be to print to a new PDF with the page size selected but a scaling of the content. Only print the document, not the markup, to a new PDF. Close that PDF when done and reopen the old one (or maybe a copy of the old one for safety) and use Document Replace pages and select the new document to replace your current pages. You will then have to go back through the markup to locate it all correctly. There may be a more elegant way, but this may be the fastest.

    for field symbols see the doc
    Field Symbols
    Field symbols are placeholders or symbolic names for other fields. They do not physically reserve space for a field, but point to its contents. A field symbol cam point to any data object. The data object to which a field symbol points is assigned to it after it has been declared in the program.
    Whenever you address a field symbol in a program, you are addressing the field that is assigned to the field symbol. After successful assignment, there is no difference in ABAP whether you reference the field symbol or the field itself. You must assign a field to each field symbol before you can address the latter in programs.
    Field symbols are similar to dereferenced pointers in C (that is, pointers to which the content operator * is applied). However, the only real equivalent of pointers in ABAP, that is, variables that contain a memory address (reference) and that can be used without the contents operator, are reference variables in ABAP Objects.
    All operations programmed with field symbols are applied to the field assigned to it. For example, a MOVE statement between two field symbols moves the contents of the field assigned to the first field symbol to the field assigned to the second field symbol. The field symbols themselves point to the same fields after the MOVE statement as they did before.
    You can create field symbols either without or with type specifications. If you do not specify a type, the field symbol inherits all of the technical attributes of the field assigned to it. If you do specify a type, the system checks the compatibility of the field symbol and the field you are assigning to it during the ASSIGN statement.
    Field symbols provide greater flexibility when you address data objects:
    If you want to process sections of fields, you can specify the offset and length of the field dynamically.
    You can assign one field symbol to another, which allows you to address parts of fields.
    Assignments to field symbols may extend beyond field boundaries. This allows you to address regular sequences of fields in memory efficiently.
    You can also force a field symbol to take different technical attributes from those of the field assigned to it.
    The flexibility of field symbols provides elegant solutions to certain problems. On the other hand, it does mean that errors can easily occur. Since fields are not assigned to field symbols until runtime, the effectiveness of syntax and security checks is very limited for operations involving field symbols. This can lead to runtime errors or incorrect data assignments.
    While runtime errors indicate an obvious problem, incorrect data assignments are dangerous because they can be very difficult to detect. For this reason, you should only use field symbols if you cannot achieve the same result using other ABAP statements.
    For example, you may want to process part of a string where the offset and length depend on the contents of the field. You could use field symbols in this case. However, since the MOVE statement also supports variable offset and length specifications, you should use it instead. The MOVE statement (with your own auxiliary variables if required) is much safer than using field symbols, since it cannot address memory beyond the boundary of a field. However, field symbols may improve performance in some cases.

    Syntax Diagram

    FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs>.
    Extras:
    1. ... TYPE type
    2. ... TYPE REF TO cif
    3. ... TYPE REF TO DATA

    The syntax check performed in an ABAP Objects context is stricter than in other ABAP areas. See Cannot Use Untyped Field Symbols ad Cannot Use Field Symbols as Components of Classes.
    Effect
    This statement declares a symbolic field called <fs>. At runtime, you can assign a concrete field to the field symbol using ASSIGN. All operations performed with the field symbol then directly affect the field assigned to it.
    You can only use one of the additions.
    Example
    Output aircraft type from the table SFLIGHT using a field symbol:
    FIELD-SYMBOLS <PT> TYPE ANY.
    DATA SFLIGHT_WA TYPE SFLIGHT.
    ASSIGN SFLIGHT_WA-PLANETYPE TO <PT>.
    WRITE <PT>.
    Addition 1
    ... TYPE type
    Addition 2
    ... TYPE REF TO cif
    Addition 3
    ... TYPE REF TO DATA
    Addition 4
    ... TYPE LINE OF type
    Addition 5
    ... LIKE s
    Addition 6
    ... LIKE LINE OF s
    Addition 7
    ... TYPE tabkind
    Effect
    You can define the type of the field symbol using additions 2 to 7 (just as you can for FORM parameters (compare Defining the Type of Subroutine Parameters). When you use the ASSIGN statement, the system carries out the same type checks as for USING parameters of FORMs.
    This addition is not allowed in an ABAP Objects context. See Cannot Use Obsolete Casting for FIELD SYMBOLS.
    In some cases, the syntax rules that apply to Unicode programs are different than those for non-Unicode programs. See Defining Types Using STRUCTURE.
    Effect
    Assigns any (internal) field string or structure to the field symbol from the ABAP Dictionary (s). All fields of the structure can be addressed by name: <fs>-fieldname. The structured field symbol points initially to the work area wa specified after DEFAULT.
    The work area wa must be at least as long as the structure s. If s contains fields of the type I or F, wa should have the structure s or at least begin in that way, since otherwise alignment problems may occur.
    Example
    Address components of the flight bookings table SBOOK using a field symbol:
    DATA SBOOK_WA LIKE SBOOK.
    FIELD-SYMBOLS <SB> STRUCTURE SBOOK
    DEFAULT SBOOK_WA.
    WRITE: <SB>-BOOKID, <SB>-FLDATE.

  • How can I resize an image without losing resolution or using the crop tool? I am using Photoshop Elements 13 on a PC.

    How can I resize an image without losing resolution or using the crop tool? I am using Photoshop Elements 13 on a PC.

    Hi Peru Bob,
    I've tried two images, the results were:
    Image 1
    Jpg, original file size 923KB, dimensions 848px x 279px.
    After resizing to 848px x 180px with 72dpi, the file size decreased to 164KB.
    Image 2
    Jpg, original file size 809KB, dimensions 1200px x 1800px.
    After resizing to 668px x 722px with 72dpi, the file size decreased to 307KB.
    So, there seems to be a fair file size loss - is this to be expected?
