How do I eliminate uneven edges in fill color?

Hello Adobe Community!
I have created a color gradient and the color fill has an uneven edge, which creates a small white space between the edges of the fill and the bounding box.  I have tried using shift+click to try and even the edges, but I guess that only works for using stroke tool or whatever.  You have to look closely because this image is not very large.  There is a slight uneveness on both the top (near the right side) and bottom (slightly left of center).  Can someone in the community help me with this?  I'd appreciate it very much.

Hey Guys, I appreciate your input.  I'm using CS3.  I'm really feeling inadequate about all this.  I didn't bother with the angle of 90 degrees.  If I input 90 degrees I get a certain type of gradient that I'm not after.  I used the sliders to create the perfect gradient I'd been after forever.  I did upload the file with my post.  I see it on here.  You guys  don't?  It's just a strip that's going to be used on my website for the menu bar.  The software I'm working with is Pro Framework and the SW developer does not have gradient tools, so I have to create a gradient myself, to get that effect.  I did do the shift click and it didn't work.
If I backtrack some, I remember I used the rotation tool at one point because I needed a mirror image, one for the top menu and one for the bottom.  This is before I got the gradient I was after, which does not require a mirror image.  If you look you can see the darkest part is at the center of the gradient which is what I want.  Okay, back to the rotation tool:  when I was rotating to create a mirror image, I noticed during the rotation that the bounding box wasn't aligning perfectly, and I tried the shift click to no avail.  And I don't get this, but the bounding box is now perfectly straight but the fill edges look like the bounding box once did, out of alignment.  Does that make sense to any of you?
I did try to create another shape but I can't get the gradient tool to work.  And I've used it enough times to think I understand it.  In fact, I have a better understanding of it now than I ever did.  I just have to quit for now and try again when I'm fresh.  One more thing, all this stuff about opacity levels and fill settings is beyond me.  This is CS3, a student teacher edition.  I'm not a graphic designer, just happened to take a couple of classes.  I've gotten better about using the sw, in fact I've risen to a new level, but now I'm stumped.  There's nothing in this world that can bring me to near tears like graphics software.  My hat is off to you guys.

    How can I select and delete the fill color (white background) of a live trace (B&W) with in an action set?
    Illustrator CS4 in windows XP.

    Maybe Li[ve trace] is not t]he way[ to go
    I have some suggestion one leave it as is and use a blending mode of multiply to give it a color background like this
    leave it as is make it a grayscale tiff import int Illustrator and color it it in Illustrator like this
    Or trace over it with the brush tool aand then give it a color ground.
    Or do the original over and do a cleaner job with no tone or a minimum of tone. Then Live trace.

  • How to use AppleScript to set "character fill color" in Pages 5.2?

    For Pages 5.2 on OSX 10.9.3, what is the correct applescript for changing the "character fill" of text in pages. 
    If you highlight text, you do this via your mouse in the inspector by clicking "style," "advanced option (the gear wheel to the right of bold, italics, and underline), "character fill color (clicking on the multi-color circle, not the dropdown menu), and then choosing a color that comes up in the "colors" dialogue box.
    I've looked all over and cannot find how to use applescript to set the character fill color in pages. 
    In some examples (not directly related) I see "character fill" used. 
    In others, I see "colorfill." 
    Basically, I want to use applescript, embedded in a keyboard maestro macro, to change the background color of the text (not the text color itself) to particular colors. 
    Given the changes and updates to Pages this year, and to applescript, what's the easy way to do this?
    Thanks!
    Chuck

    Pages v5.2 still does not include selection-object, or character background color entries in its AppleScript dictionary, as does Pages ’09. Indirectly, using System Events, you can get the text selection in Pages v5.2, but then you can do nothing to change the selection. No assurances as to if or when Apple will mature the AppleScript dictionary support for Pages v5 series.

  • In iWork Pages 5.1, how do I eliminate "text" in the Text Box?

    In iWork Pages 5.1, how do I eliminate the word "text" which appears in the Text Box, when I've used a color filler and no words?

    Select the text and delete.
    If you don't want text in the box, don't use a text box ie in Shapes there are various shapes. Select one without 'T'.

  • How do I eliminate delays in transmitting buffered CAN data?

    My application using the PCI-CAN Series 2 card is programming automotive modules in a time-critical environment using a MSVC++ application running on Win2000. We need to send about 1.4 Mb of data to the module as quickly as possible, preferably less than 70 seconds. We are communicating with the modules at 500 Kbaud using standard frames (not extended).
    Looking at the CAN bus on a scope, we see that the frames themsevles are about 240 microseconds wide, but after each frame of data, there is roughly 300 microseconds of delay.
    In my C++ implementation, I have created a transmit object with a transmit queue size of 225 frames. The transmit object is configured to transmit "by call" and the period att
    ribute has been set to 0. Using this configuration, I would assume that data would be sent as fast as possible. I am certain that the transmit queue is being filled faster than it can send the data out. What is producing the delays between frames, and how do I eliminate them?
    (Attached file contains transmit object configuration and frame writing routine.)

    CAN_code.cpp ‏6 KB

    Hey Glenn,
    If all you want to do is transmit as fast as possible, I would recommend using the network interface object rather than a CAN object. This will reduce the overhead and should improve your performance. Use a large transmit queue length on the network interface object, and try to keep the queue full. This should maximize the output of the CAN card. Other things to be aware of: what is your total bus utilization? If other devices are transmitting on the bus and the CAN card is losing arbitration, you could see a big performance hit. Also, make sure you are using the latest NI-CAN driver (2.2). There have been performance increases over older drivers (1.6 and previous specifically).

  • How do i eliminate in downloaded forms "FORMTEXT" so i can print them

    How do I eliminate in downloaded forms "FORMTEXT" which is in areas that i would fill in manually by hand. When I print they have that in the space. Thanks

    Did you try filling them in with your info ? Maybe FORMTEXT will be eliminated once you make a non-blank entry.

  • How do I eliminate "Faces" from iPhoto?

    I hate the Faces part of most recent iPhoto. How do I eliminate it? The faces are mostly not even of good quality, and it is filling my computer with junk. I just want to have good photos, not play games!

    A poster called lopezio claims the following will do the job:
    This is how you can disable (turn off) Face detection, without deleting faces found so far (just in case you want to restart processing at another time):
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Open Terminal Application (Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app)
    3. Type the following (exactly as is):
    defaults write com.apple.iPhoto PKFaceDetectionEnabled 0
    (then return)
    4. - Start iPhoto - Faces stops getting on your nerves...
    If you ever need to re-enable faces, just do the same again and replace the 0 with 1.
    I've not tested this so I'd offer a significant warning to back up first and even if it does work then to be wary if you're updating or upgrading as it may have an impact there too.
    What definitely works, and safely, is to upgrade to Aperture as that has an option to disable faces. Pay more get more options.

  • How can I eliminate delays in one NIC when there is traffic on second NIC

    Using LabVIEW TCP/IP VIs, my LV application is  accessing a database though a LAN, and  through a second NIC, it is controlling an instrument.  The instrument is connected directly to the computer NIC with a cross-over cable.  I have made a permanent route for the IP address of the instrument in the IP route table.  The LAN and the instrument have different subnet numbers.  Using a packet sniffer, I don't see any traffic meant for the LAN going to the NIC connected to the instrument.  The OS of the computer is Windows XP and the NICs are PCI cards.
    The message traffic to the instrument suffers from intermittent delays when there is traffic going to the LAN. 
    How can I eliminate the delays?  What could be the cause of the delays?  Thanks in advance for your recommendations and suggestions.

    Hi LabBard,
    Could you tell us a little more about the device that you are connected to? What you could try is to have a VI accessing the LAN, and a separate VI communicating with the instrument, and see how things play out.
    Let us know how it goes!

  • How do I edit text in a fill-in form?

    How do I edit text in a fill-in form?  I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro version 10.1.8 in Mac OSX.  The document was created in Word, saved as a pdf, opened in Acrobat, and form fields added.  Now I need to change some of the text on the original form (mostly just dates).  Ideally, I wish there were a way to edit the forms overall - add or delete lines, edit text, etc.  I've done this before, but I always seem to need to go back to Word, edit the original document, and then re-create the form fields... it takes me a huge amount of time, making sure each field is formatted correctly (font, size, wrapping, text resizing, etc) so it looks ok when the user enters their data and prints it.  Please, tell me there is a better way!
    If the solution is upgrading to a higher version of Acrobat, I'm listening... but ideally I can get this batch done in the software I have, then worry about learning the newest version.

    If the latter, then it is likely that you're not allowed to delete because it's actually open. Quit Safari. Check if there is an item called Safari in your </Applications> folder. (In Finder, you can get directly to the Applications folder using ⇧⌘A -- that's Shift-Command-A.) Check if it's an application. If it is, then you have an unneeded copy of Safari. You can delete the one on your Desktop. If there isn't, them move the one on the Desktop to the Applications folder -- that's where it belongs.

  • How do I eliminate the space above a spry menu bar?

    I made a table, set the CellPad and CellSpace to 0, and set
    the width to 800 pixels. Then, I inserted an image (with a width of
    800 pixels) into the table, and set the V and H of the image to 0,
    and aligned the image to the top. Then, I copied a spry menu bar
    (with a width of 800 pixels) above the table and pasted it in the
    table underneath the image. There is a vertical space of 16 pixels
    between the image and the spry menu bar. How do I eliminate this
    vertical gap?

    The Spry Updater is at:
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/home.html
    If there is a spacing issue it is hard to tell without the
    code. By default the Spry menu bar has 0 for margin and padding.
    Make sure there is not a <p> tag within the table because the
    <p> tag has an inherit padding/margin to it and could be
    causing issues. The image and Spry should just be within the
    <td> </td> without any <p> tags inside.
