How do I edit or remove text automatically added to a DITA layout?

I'm evaluating FM11 with an eye toward using it to author our print manuals (along with all the reuse stuff that DITA will allow). I have some experience with DITA authoring in other applications, but FM is new to me.
It's going to be up to me and a colleague to demonstrate how FM is an improvement over our current manual process (InDesign). One thing we need to demonstrate in particular is how we'll retain complete control over layout appearances (something we don't easily get in our other XML authoring tool).
I've been playing with the "New" DITA task/reference/concept templates as they open, and I'm troubled to see that text automatically appears in some places and I can't edit it or delete it. For instance, an <info> tag adds the text "ADDITIONAL INFORMATION". We may not want that text to appear in our layouts, or we may want to change it. At the very least, I'll need to demonstrate that I have control over text like this.
I've looked through Reference Pages, EDDs, DTDs, INIs, and several other places, and I can't nail down the source of the (potentially) unwanted text. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Hi ohnehosen...
These strings are defined in the EDD, as autonumber text in the paragraph style, or on the reference pages. It sounds like you've checked all those places, but they *are* there. One problem that you may be running into with FM11 is that you're likely using DITA 1.2, and for DITA 1.2 there is a separate structure application for each topic type. That means you'll have different EDDs and templates to search through. If you modify an EDD you'll be needing to import that into the corresponding template.
I strongly suggest that instead of modifying the default structure apps, you first clone the defaults to names of your own. Then you modify your custom apps and leave the default apps available unmodified for testing. You *will* break the apps at some point (everyone does), and without the default unmodified apps available for testing.
If you don't need the DITA 1.2 model, you might consider using the DITA 1.1 apps, which (I believe) are just one app for all topic types.
OR .. if you want a far simpler and reliable option for PDF publishing from DITA, you might check out DITA-FMx. This is a product that I sell, but it provides enhanced DITA authoring and publishing tools in FrameMaker ..

How do I duplicate layers & groups without automatically adding a "copy", "copy 1", "copy #" at the end of the new group?

How do I duplicate layers & groups without automatically adding a "copy", "copy 1", "copy #" at the end of the new group?
It's been pestering me for quite a while now, since I often work with the same elements over and over again. Its frustrating to have to change the name of each layer manually, especially if I'm copying a whole group.
Is there a setting in Photoshop or perhaps an external script that can help fix this for me?
Cheers,
Qiming

There is no way to defeat this within the program itself. Here's the workaround:
Duplicate the file (from the Image menu).
Drag the Group or layers from the Layers list from the duplicate to the image window of the original , while holding down Shift.
That will make a "copyless" copy and reposition the copyed material in the exact same position it was on the original.

How do I add and remove text in a text field with a checkbox?

How do I add and/or remove text in a text field with a checkbox?
this is my script in the text box......
event.value="Hello, this is my narrative. \r\n\nFamily: \r\n\n" + this get.Field("FirstName").value + " " + this.getField("LastName").value + was born on"=this.getField("DOB.value + "\r\n\n + this.getField("drpField").value + "\r\n\n" + this getField("Father").value
The text box looks like this...
Hello, this is my narrative.
FAMILY:
John Smith was born on 08/02/2000
Boby Lou
Jack Smith
I need to add/or remove the father field (Jack Smith) & r/n/n with a check box.
Does anyone know how to do this?

There are multiple errors in your code...
Use this code instead (adjust the name of the check-box):
var msg = "Hello, this is my narrative. \r\n\nFamily: \r\n\n" + this get.Field("FirstName").value + " " + this.getField("LastName").value + was born on" + this.getField("DOB.value) + "\r\n\n" + this.getField("drpField").value;
if (this.getField("FatherCheckBox").value!="Off")
msg += "\r\n\n" + this getField("Father").value;
event.value = msg;

How do I edit and delete text

Hi zainab g,
You can't edit/ delete text in a pdf from Adobe Reader.
You can accomplish this via Acrobat.
How to edit PDF files:
Open a file in Acrobat XI.
Select Tools > Content Editing.
Click the Edit Text & Images tool.
Click the on-page element you wish to edit, which automatically activates the tools you'll need.
Choose the tool that best fits your task.

How can I get an Extension's toolbar icon to display image without text (without universally affecting other icons)? How can I edit the icons text (save space)?

"From the Show dropdown menu, you can choose what to display in the toolbars: icons, text, or icons and text together. By default, Firefox shows icons only." Is there a way to choose an individual setting for a specific toolbar icon to be icon only (no text) without universally affecting all other icons on the toolbars?
Second, is there a way to edit the text on a specific toolbar button from an extension (because it occupies too much horizontal space on the toolbar due to the amount of text)? I do know how to locate the xpi file & open it with notepad, but then it's mainly code (not English) & FIND doesn't locate the button's text (to edit it).
These 2 questions should apply to Extension buttons in general. However IF it makes any difference I'm referring to the Toolbar Button in Back To Top 7.0 which says "Go to top/bottom". I'd at least like to edit out "Go to", but my questions apply to other Extension buttons too. I do realize it may be necessary to redo any fix/change each time there is an update? THANK YOU.

We use the DOM Inspector to find the IDs and Class Names of elements.
* DOM Inspector: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/dom-inspector-6622/
The DOM Inspector (DOMi) has a menu item (Edit > Select Element By Click) and a toolbar button "Find a node to inspect by clicking on it" (left icon on the toolbar in the DOMi).
* open the browser window in the DOMi (File > Inspect <b>Chrome</b> Document) and choose the first from the list.
* click the "Find a node to inspect by clicking on it" button and use the keyboard (Alt Tab) or the Task bar to go back to the browser window (do not click in the browser window other than the title bar).
* click that element with the mouse and keep the button pressed until you see a red border to indicate the the DOMi has located that element in the DOM tree.

How do I show animation of text automatically during the Capture using Captivate 6?

would like to demonstrate text entry in a web text field but after capture, preview of slide 1 shows the blank text field, slide 2 shows all of the text I typed into text field box all at once, doesn't showing actual typing . Would like slide 2 to show is me actually typing the words into the search box. It doesn't; it just shows all the words at one time. What am I doing wrong?

My last answer today, want to go to bed (11pm), very tired.
Choose Insert, Text Animation. Default style is Aquarium, but if you scroll down in the long list you'll find Typing Text and it is working very well (tested it before answering).
FMR = Full Motion Recording. When using Automatic Capture, and have a scrolling or dragging movement, CP will switch automatically to FMR and you get sort of a video slide (red line in the axis of the timeline of that slide). A tip: default setting is 16-bit which gives an awful quality, change it immediately to 32-bit (Preferences, Recording, Video Demo - don't worry setting is used both for Video Demo and FMR). It is the only situation where FMR, which was the only video possible in previous versions, is still used. A better quality can be had with the new Video Demo mode for a recording slide but work flow is a bit more cumbersome because you have to stop the Automatic capture (being aware when CP should switch to FMR), then insert a Recording Slide, Video Demo, and then add additional Automatic Capture slides.

How do I edit and add text to a file on my android

Oil need to fill a form that was sent to me . I also want to be able to make a pdf first

Hi timsdream:
I don't think this is a Firefox question. I don't think you can edit PDFs in Android from a browser if that is what you are asking or are you asking about text editing on Android?
Anyhow if it is a Firefox question please let us know the usual troubleshooting stuff:
* what version of Firefox
* what version of Android
* what you did, what you expected, what happened
* any other details that might help!

How do I remove the automatically added index.html from my home page domain?

Hi
I am afraid, this is system default process and it is not possible to change the file name for the very first page created in Adobe Muse from index.html to home or any other file name.

How can I edit or remove iWeb pages from Mobile me after I have published it to another site?

I have published iweb pages to another server and now I need to replace the mobile me version with page "pages moved to..." or at least I need to delete old version. However I can't find any way to do this from mobile me or from iWeb.
From Mobile me I cant find any way to even delete pages.
With iWeb I cant edit the old version because I cant find way to have two version of same pages. As I understand what I need is a version of my republished pages that only contains the index page "pages moved to...". But I cant create that because I cant have two versions.

DocumentListener #removeUpdate -- Retrieving the removed text

Hi,
I have a DocumentListener registered on a Document. I not only want to know when text is removed, but I want to know what text was removed. It appears to me that the document structure is updated before the listeners are notified (even though sticky positions aren't ...?), meaning the offset/length methods will not work for my needs.
Is this correct? If so, how would one retrieve the removed text?
I don't want to override #insertString(int, String, AttributeSet) nor #remove(int, int) because these apparently aren't called when UndoableEvents from the document are undone/redone. It's been my experience that only DocumentListener methods are called universally (that is, for undo/redo and normal user operations).
Passing the line associated with the offset into DocumentEvent#getChange(Element) gives null. Aside, even if it did return something, what concrete implementation of Element represents a character in the document? Or, what is the lowest level of the hierarchy -- line or character?
Thanks in advance,
Brien

Thanks for the references.
As for casting the event to a CompoundEdit, it is definitely doable, but how would I use the CompundEdit? It's unfortunate that many classes in the java.swing.text package aren't designed to be flexible for different uses. It seems the two members that would be useful, #lastEdit and #edits, are protected.
Even if I could get the UndoableEdit, like GapContent.RemoveUndo, how would I get to the internal String representing the removed text?
I could really use the details on this.
I see two options if I want to pursue this further --
1. Use reflection to access the protected fields (super bad).
2. To get what I want, I could, in the removeUpdate method, temporarily undo the event, check the document, then redo the event. This seems very sloppy, wasteful, and the implementation would have to be very careful with the infinite mutual recursion.
As it stands, I likely won't pursue it. It's not very critical, but it's very disappointing.

[iPhone SDK] - UITableViewCell - Set edit mode to delete automatically?

Hi,
I'm having a hard time trying to understand how to set edit mode to delete automatically for all cells in a table view, like in the Weather app for example (in the app settings).
I tried using - (UITableViewCellEditingStyle)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath, but it never gets called.
Anyone can help?
Thanks!

First of all, the following method tells the table that which cell is editable;
- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canEditRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
you can return TRUE or FALSE depending upon the indexPath.
Then the following method will tell about the editing style;
- (UITableViewCellEditingStyle)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
In which you may return UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete .

Adobe Premiere : Editing Video in Text

How do you edit video in text on Premiere Pro?
I did this in Adobe Element - both the newest versions (2014) using black video, Track Matte Key and inverting them with a Title, like so 15 seconds in
Real Talk Teaser: Sean White - YouTube
Now I've switched to Premiere Pro and am trying to replicate my titles, but to no avail. I can't get the text to cut out to transparent to reveal the moving video below
I've tried using a Set Matte,
tried using a Luma Key with Alpha Channels,
tried a Title with a black background fill,
or one without over black video,
inverting Mattes,
tried cutting/copying a clip of the video to place on Video 3 instead of just putting the Title over Video 1
and on all three Video channels ...
Tried Adobe/non-Adobe video tutorials and the Adobe reference.
I don't know what I'm missing. Thoughts?

Hi Tash B,
Here you go:
Create text and place it on the track above the video clip you want to show inside the text.
Apply a Travel Matte Key effect to the video clip.
In the Effects Control panel choose Matte > Video 2, Composite Using > Matte Alpha
Hope that helps,
Kevin
