How to create a black circle with a white number?

I am trying to do something really simple in Adobe Acrobat XI is giving me fits. I want to markup a PDF of a map with black circles that have numbers in the middle.  I added a text box, inserted a number, pressed control + E and changed the number color to white, then grabbed the text box border, right clicked, and changed the field to black. However, the text box properties box is only giving me the option to change the border style, border color, and opacity.  It does not give me the option to change the shape of the text box. Earlier, after researching the issue, I was somehow able to get a box to pop up that did have a drop-down for different shapes, but it was greyed out. For some reason, when I right click it now, I only get the "text box properties" box with 3 tabs – appearance, general, and review history. And the "appearance" tab does not give an option to change the shape of the text box. This should be very simple – how on earth do I change the shape of the text box? Or, is there another way to accomplish this (what should be an extremely easy) task??

How do I create a "stamp"?  That seems unnecessarily complicated.  I find it hard to believe there's no option for this in Acrobat - it's easy to do in Word (just draw a circle and insert a number)..
I was able to get this box up at one point by right clicking the borders:
The 2nd and 3rd dropdown boxes from the left look like they would give you this option.  However, when I click the borders now, I get this box:
which does NOT have an option to change shapes.
So how do I get to the first box?????

  • When I try to drag and drop song into my ipod I get a black circle with a diagonal line through it?

    Im trying to drag and drop songs from a new playlist that I have created but a black circle with a line through it appears meaning it wont allow me to put this song onto my ipod. I cant drag and drop any songs! ITUNES IS A NIGHTMARE TO WORK WITH AND IS NO WAY USER FRIENDLY - I HATE IT!!!!

    It sounds like you are trying to manually manage the iPod's contents. If that's the case, make sure the Manually manage music and videos option is enabled from under your iPod's Summary tab.  See this article for more information.

  • When I try to open a picture it does open but closes very quickly and the screen displays a black border with a white circle and a ! in the middle????? Help!!! GM

    WHEN I OPEN A PICTURE FROM IPHOTO IT CLOSES VERY QUICKLY AND A BLACK BORDER WITH A WHITE CIRCLE WITH AN ! IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. WHEN IT START A SLICE SHOW THE PICTURES ARE NOT THERE. HELP!!!!

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Other than that, what version of iPhoto do you have? Assuming 09 or later try
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • How to create an unsolved cube with awm???

    hi all,
    I readed the "Oracle Olap developer's guide to the Oalp api" and I found there's 2 type of Cube: Solved and Unsolved Cubes. And this document says: "... if all the data for a cube is specified by the DBA, then the cube is considered to be Solved. If some or all of the aggregate data must be calculated by Oracle OLap, then the cube is unsolved ..."
    I tried with awm 10.2.0.3.0A to create an unsolvedCube but I can't. All cubes I created are solvedCube. To know if a cube is solved or unsolved, I wrotte an program in Java to read informations of package mtm.
    Some one can tell me how to create an unsolved cube with AWM ou other soft please!

    SH is not a relational OLAP data model which is quite different from the GLOBAL schema which is based on an Analytic Workspace.
    If you change the aggregation method you will need to re-compute the whole cube which can be a very big job! You might be able to force the unsolved status be de-selecting all the levels on the Rules tab in AWM. However, I think by default analytic workspace OLAP models always provide a fully solved cube to the outside world. This is the nature of the multi-dimensional model.
    Relationally, as keys are located in separate columns a cube can be unsolved in that the key column only contains values for a single level from the corresponding dimension tables. If more than keys for different levels within the same dimension appear within the fact key column then the cube is deemed as being solved.
    Therefore, I am not sure you are going to get the information you require from the API. To changes the aggregation method you will have to switch off all pre-compute options and also disable the session cache to prevent previously calculated data being returned when you change the aggregation method.
    Hope this helps

  • How to create an explain plan with rowsource statistics for a complex query that include multiple table joins ?

    1. How to create an explain plan with rowsource statistics for a complex query that include multiple table joins ?
    When multiple tables are involved , and the actual number of rows returned is more than what the explain plan tells. How can I find out what change is needed  in the stat plan  ?
    2. Does rowsource statistics gives some kind of  understanding of Extended stats ?

    You can get Row Source Statistics only *after* the SQL has been executed.  An Explain Plan midway cannot give you row source statistics.
    To get row source statistics either set STATISTICS_LEVEL='ALL'  in the session that executes theSQL OR use the Hint "gather_plan_statistics"  in the SQL being executed.
    Then use dbms_xplan.display_cursor

  • How to create a Sales order with ref to Contract using Function Module

    How to create a Sales order with ref to Contract using Function Module BAPI_SALESDOCU_CREATEFROMDATA ?

    We have a unique situation where we like change the sold-to customer of the sales order
    once order has been created. These orders have been created using either by function module
    BAPI_SALESDOCUMENT_COPY or using BDC (VA01, Copy with reference).
    These two processes work abosolutely fine except someone might have change the sold-to
    customer of the ship-to customer of the original sales order. If this the case then the new
    sales order will be created with the old sold-to and with not the new sold-to.
    We tried using BAPI_SALESDOCUMENT_CHANGE and commit afterwards. We checked
    the returned parameteres of the BAPIs and they are all successful but sold-to remains the
    same old one.
    Any help would be much more appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi 
    In solar01 you have defined but you have to assign the test case in solar02 for this test case in the test cases tab.
    When you do so expand the business sceanario node in test plan generation of STWB_2 transaction and now that will appear.

  • How to create a csv file with NCS attributes?

    Hi
    i installed Cisco Prime NCS and trying to perform bulk update of device credentials with csv file.
    How to create a csv file with all required attributes?
    This is part of NCS online help talking about this topic:
    Bulk Update Devices—To update the device credentials in a bulk, select Bulk Update Devices from the Select a command drop-down list. The Bulk Update Devices page appears.You can choose a CSV file.
    Note        The CSV file contains a list of devices to be updated, one device per line. Each line is a comma separated list of device attributes. The first line describes the attributes included. The IP address attribute is mandatory.
    Bellow is test csv file i created but does not work:
    10.64.160.31,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60
    10.64.160.31,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60
    The error i am getting while importing this file:
    Missing mandatory field [ip_address] on header line:10.64.160.31,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60
    Assistance appreciated.

    It looks like the IP address field is incorrectly set.,
    It should be as follows
    {Device IP},{Device Subnet Mask}, etc etc
    so a practical example of the aboove could be (i dont know if this is completely correct after the IP address / Subnet Mask)
    10.64.160.31,255.255.255.0,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60
