How do you switch out PMS colors in CS5

I am trying to swap out PMS colors in a complicated Illustrator file--my client just changed all the colors. I remember being able to double click the color swatch and the list of Pantone colors would come up--and you could just select a new one--maybe I'm wrong and confusing it with InDesign? But when I double-click on the PMS swatch--the PMS name/spot color is greyed out--and I get a choice of "Book Color", but no listing of colors. I read that I can hold down option and move the new swatch over the one I want it to replace...It works, but changes the color to process, which I don't want.
Thank you for your help!

I may have answered my own question...selecting the color you want and the shift-selecting the other color, choosing merge. Seems like a round-about way, so I'm open if I'm missing something easier. Thanks

  • How do you smooth out lines in Photoshop CS5

    I have some black and white line art drawings. The lines are not smooth and sharp, and instead have tiny jagged edges. I tried using the smudge tool, and that does smooth out the lines but it also makes the lines a little sloppy. That's probably how the Smudge Tool got its name. Is there a way to use this incredible software to create smooth lines? I've learned how to create paths, but I can't figure out how to use the paths to change the line art. Maybe this is what I'm looking for?

    If I understand your question correctly then the answer is yes. 
    You can create an arbitrary path whose shape, open or closed, can remain editable throughout your session and it can be duplicated if needed.  That path can then be stroked with a pixel painting or editing tool. Lets say you create a new layer and stroke a path with a colored brush. You can then add a style to that layer, move that same path and add a different stroke on a second layer and then duplicate the path, move it and edit its shape and then do yet another stroke and style on a third layer. This is what I've done in the image below showing the stroke & styled paths as well as the vector path in the bottom path.
    Once a path has been stroked to a layer and has had a layer style applied it is only editable as pixels, but the shape remains as a path which can re restroked or moved or reshaped so flexibility is high.

  • How do you switch from one iTunes account to another on your apple tv?

    How do you switch from one iTunes account to another on your apple tv?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    I assume you do mean a different account and not simply a different iTunes library. Unfortunately, in order to switch accounts, you would need to log out and log in to the second account.

  • If you have 2 apple ids, how do you sign out of one and into the other so you can update the app that was purchased in the other account.  thanks

    If you purchased an app in one account and work mostly in another, how do you switch the purchased app account to update it?
    thanks

    You need to sign out and back in only if you're on your Mac and you want to update the iTunes data.  You'll see a notice saying that there are five (or so) updates but when you go to download them, they're not all present.  So you download them, sign out from one ID and sign back in with the other ID.  Then you can download the remaining ones.
    If you're downloading directly to the iPad, everything is transparent.  It does not matter what ID is configured in Settings.  The iPad automatically chooses the correct ID or IDs when updates are available.

  • How do you set the font color for a specific entire row inside a JTable?

    How do you set the font color for a specific entire row inside a JTable?
    I want to change the font color for only a couple of rows inside a JTable.
    I've seen some ways to possibly do this with an individual cell.
    Clarification on changing the font color in an individual cell would be helpful too if
    there is no easy way to do this for a row.

    hai,
    Try out with this piece of code.Create your table and assign the renderer to each column in the table.
    CellColorRenderer m_CellColorRenderer = new CellColorRenderer();
    for(int i=0;i<your_JTable.getColumnCount();i++)
    your_JTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(i).setCellRenderer(m_CellColorRenderer);
    class CellColorRenderer extends JLabel implements TableCellRenderer
    CellColorRenderer()     
    setOpaque(true);     
    setHorizontalAlignment(LEFT);
    setVerticalAlignment(CENTER);
    setBackground(Color.white);
    setForeground(Color.black);
    protected void setValue(Object value)
         setText((value == null) ? "" : value.toString());
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table,Object value,boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row,int column)
         if(isSelected == true)
              setForeground(Color.red);
         else
              setForeground(Color.black);
         setValue(value);
         return this;

  • How do you log out?

    How do you log out of a forum? Is it at all possible?
    Seems I am logged in to any forum I go to if I switch between different ones, even ones I never previously used to be a member of. So am I now a member of all existing forums just because I logged in?
    I've actually been a member of several Adobe forums since 2002, but today they all consider me a new member who only joined today and gave me a screenname I  haven't used for quite some time. Not funny.

    Actually, it could be a lot simpler.  The system could add who you are replying to automatically.
    But; if it isnt obvious to you; Im not going to be able to convince you.
    Curt, please listen to me. First off, pointing out that some new features do not seem to be an improvement doesn't put me in dinosaur territory.
    Second, even if we added an extra 'feature' of telling me who is being replied to, that doesn't tell me what they said. To know that I'd have to start jumping back and forth. If I don't even realise that an apparent non sequitur is because a person is replying to something a couple of pages back - because they are using threaded view - that's a recipe for confusion.
    Before, if we needed to reply to a post some way back, we'd swipe through the relevant text - as more than one post was visible when replying, another new annoyance - add a greater than symbol, paste and carry on.
    How do you think people will react if they've never been here before, have no clue about what threaded/flat views even are?
    I don't particularly like threaded view, partly because of the ever-shrinking width, but I'd live with it if everyone used it.
    If I insisted on living in the past I'd still be using Pagemaker or Quark and Pagemill - but you don't have to lose your critical faculties every time someone waves something new and shiny in front of your eyes.

  • How do you grey out/disable fields under a radio button if another radio button is selected in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

    How do you grey out/disable fields under a radio button if another radio button is selected in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?
    I’m creating a form where the user has three options to make a payment.
    1. charge to my credit card
    2. charge associated costs to bank account
    3. By cheque or money order
    My Problem is, under each option, there are required fields that has to be filled out. So if the user picks the first option, charge to my credit card, they would fill out the required fields (credit card number, expiration date etc.). But when they click submit button to submit the form, it won’t let them, because there are required fields under the second option. Also, I have the radio buttons for the three options setup so that if the user holds the shift key and clicks a radio button, it unchecks it. So what I'm trying to do is this: If the user selects the radio button for option 1, the other two options are greyed out/disabled. And if the user holds down the shift key and clicks radio button for option one again, it unchecks the radio button and the other two options are available again. Is there a way to grey out or disable the two other payment options when the other one is picked. I’m assuming I will have to use javascript, but what would the coding be and which field do I write it under?
    Thanks in advance guys

    You will have to use custom JavaScript to access the various properties of the field object.
    The radio button group has a value. When no button is selected that value is "Off". When an individual button has been selected the value for the group will be the option or export value for that individual button.
    Once you have determined the button selected, then you will know the form fields that need to be made required. You use JavaScript to access those fields and change the "read only" property to false, and set the "required" property to true. For the fields associated with the other options, those fields should be reset, made read only, and have the "required" property set to false.
    Disabling (graying-out) Form Fields
    >> Also, I have the radio buttons for the three options setup so that if the user holds the shift key and clicks a radio button, it unchecks it.
    Radio button in a PDF do not work that way. Only check boxes can be unchecked by clicking on one that has been checked.
    If you plan the coding for the Mouse UP action to test for all possible options and code for each of those options you should have what you want.
    If you want actual code you need to provide a lot more details.
    It is even possible to perform some credit card and bank routing number validations with JavaScript and some check digit formulas.

  • How do you grey out a radio button if a text field is blank in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

    How do you grey out a radio button if a text field is blank in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?
    So this what I'm trying to do:
    (     )   |TEXT FIELD|
    (     )   |TEXT FIELD|
    (     )   |                  |
    (     )   |TEXT FIELD|
    I have a radio button: (     )
    and a text field: |TEXT FIELD|
    The third text field is blank, and I would like for the radio button next to it greyed out (user can't click on it) since the text field is blank. Is this possible to achieve? I'm assuming I'll have to use javascript, but what would the code be and would it be entered in the javascript editor for the text field or the radio button?
    Thanks in advance guys

    Hey, thanks, but it didn't work
    I have the text fields as read only. Could that be why it's not working? Should I make the fields not read only?
    Thanks,

  • How do you edit out the date and time stamp from a photo

    How do you edit out the date and time stamp from a photo

    You can blur it out with retouch
    The built-in "Retouch" brush in "Edit" mode should suffice, if the background is mostly uniform, and if you set the size of the brush to slightly wider than the bar width of the letters. For example, in this picture I removed the year from the date (in the lower right corner) by using the "retouch" brush and following the contours of the letters. (the screen shot is from iPhoto '11, but iPhoto 9 should give similar results).

  • Hi there how are you guys out there of this forum? I got a question for y'a

    Hi there how are you guys out there of this forum? I got a question for y’all
    I wanted to know how I could record different folders using iTunes
    Cause when recorded 2000 thongs on the DVD
    There were 2000 songs to go through
    So I really wanted to have had folders and then the music recorded inside them
    So I could get right to where I wanted real quickly
    Could anyone please teach me how to do that real quickly?
    Can we do it with iTunes?
    I know we can do it with Nero.

    1) Go to file, select new playlist. Creat the playlaist.
    2) Download your music into iTunes.
    NOTE: CHECK 'Recently Added' before you download your music.
    If the select boxes has a check in them, turn it off by
    holding down the 'ctrl' key and selecting one of the
    checked boxes. This shold turn off all the checks.
    It would be better to clear 'Resently Add' of all
    previous downloads, but I don't know how to do that
    yet.
    3) under 'PLAYLIST' on the right, select 'Recently Add'.
    all of your song should show there with a check in the selection
    box.
    4)Hold the shift key and select the frist (selete records name),
    then the last recorded tune. All of the recordings shouls light
    up blue.
    5) While holding the 'shift' key, drag one of the records to your new
    playlist. All of the blue highlighted song will transfer to the new
    playlist.

    How do you cut out a part of an image on a photo that you have added to Pages. For example, if I have added a picture of a giraffe to Pages how would I cut out the giraffe from the image and get rid of the rest of the image

    You can use the instant alpha tool to make the background transparent.
    FYI: Pages is part of iWork, not iLife.
