How to create arched text without using envelope warp in Illustrator?

I am using Illustrator cs3 on mac os X This is a video of my problem that I sent to a fellow designer but didn't get an answer I was happy with. Can anyone help?

The Appearance Panel is your friend. You don't need to duplicate items, simply add a new stroke to the existing object via the Appearance panel.
To edit the contents of an Envelope Distort simply choose Object > Envelope Distort > Edit Contents. The preview bounding box will look odd, but you'll be able to select the text and apply any color to it.
You could also expand the object using Object > Expand And ONLY check the "Object" box. This will result in outlines of the text where you can apply colors as well without the envelope getting in the way. But of course, it's no longer live text.

How to create a domain without using the root user in Sunone Server

Hi,
I am having one requirement to create a domain without using root user in sunone application server 8.1. Does any body know the solution?

Hi,
If you are using file-based installation, you can install as non-root user and create domains as usual. You can use asadmin command available at <AS_INSTALL>/bin to do this.
ex: ./asadmin create-domain domaindir /tmp/justfortest adminport 4850 --adminuser admin domain_nonroot_test
Did you face any problem doing this in non-root. Unless you have write permissions in domaindir, you won't be facing any problem.
Hope this clarifies your question.

How to create a inputstream without using the file operation

Hi friends
In my application, I have to create a Streamsource object using the below constructor:
public StreamSource(InputStream inputStream)
    Construct a StreamSource from a byte stream. Normally, a stream should be used rather than a reader, so the XML parser can resolve character encoding specified by the XML declaration.
    If this constructor is used to process a stylesheet, normally setSystemId should also be called, so that relative URI references can be resolved.
Parameters:
    inputStream - A valid InputStream reference to an XML stream.*[http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/xml/transform/stream/StreamSource.html#StreamSource(java.io.InputStream) |http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/xml/transform/stream/StreamSource.html#StreamSource(java.io.InputStream) ]*
But for creating the inputstream, i am creating a tempory file, ie I am using fileinputstream.
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.StringReader;
import javax.xml.transform.Source;
import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource;
public class SourceConvertor
    private static Source convertStaxToStream(Source request)
// here the argument to this method is StaxSource and the return type is StreamSource
        TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
        Transformer transformer = null;
        File fp = null;
        FileInputStream fInp = null;
        try
            transformer = factory.newTransformer();
            fp = new File("tempFile.txt");
            transformer.transform(request, new StreamResult(fp));
            fInp = new FileInputStream(fp);
        } catch (Exception e)
            e.printStackTrace();
        return new StreamSource(fInp);
    public static void main(String args[])
        try
            String message ="<author><name>Rai</name><book>GodOfSmallThings</book></author>";
            Source original = new StreamSource(new StringReader(message));
            Source converted = convertStaxToStream(original);
            TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
            Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer();
            transformer.transform(converted, new StreamResult(System.out));
        catch (Exception e)
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
This is not at all a good aproach because evey time it is creating a new file.
So can anyone suggest a better aproach or idea or a simple code snippet so that i can create the inputstream without creating a temporary file.
Thanks in advance:

Err, a StreamSource is a Source. Check the Javadoc. You can pass it directly to the transform.

How to create a line without using execute action method.

Hi All,
I want to create a line whose weight and co-ordinate are given to me. I am using ActionDescriptor and execute action method to do this.
Here is my code:
    var idcontentLayer = stringIDToTypeID( "contentLayer" );
    var idStrt = charIDToTypeID( "Strt" );
    var idHrzn = charIDToTypeID( "Hrzn" );
    var idPxl = charIDToTypeID( "#Pxl" );
    var idVrtc = charIDToTypeID( "Vrtc" );
    var idPnt = charIDToTypeID( "Pnt " );
    var actRef = new ActionReference();
    actRef.putClass( idcontentLayer );
    var layerDesc = new ActionDescriptor();
    layerDesc.putReference( charIDToTypeID( "null" ), actRef );
    var lineDesc = new ActionDescriptor();
    lineDesc.putClass( charIDToTypeID( "Type" ), stringIDToTypeID( "solidColorLayer" ) );
    var propertyDesc = new ActionDescriptor();
    var strtPointDesc = new ActionDescriptor();
    strtPointDesc.putUnitDouble( idHrzn, idPxl, startX);                         //startX, startY, endX, endY are given..
    strtPointDesc.putUnitDouble( idVrtc, idPxl, startY);
    var endPointDesc = new ActionDescriptor();
    endPointDesc.putUnitDouble( idHrzn, idPxl, endX );
    endPointDesc.putUnitDouble( idVrtc, idPxl, endY );
    propertyDesc.putObject( charIDToTypeID( "Strt" ), idPnt, strtPointDesc );
    propertyDesc.putObject( charIDToTypeID( "End " ), idPnt, endPointDesc);
    propertyDesc.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID( "Wdth" ), idPxl, weight );               // weight is given.
    lineDesc.putObject( charIDToTypeID( "Shp " ), charIDToTypeID( "Ln " ), propertyDesc );
    layerDesc.putObject( charIDToTypeID( "Usng" ), idcontentLayer, lineDesc );
    executeAction( charIDToTypeID( "Mk " ), layerDesc, DialogModes.NO );
Is there any other way to do the above (using photoshop scripting method)?
Thanks,

You can only create normal and text layers using the Object Model. For other layer types you have to use Action Manager.

How to create clean text for the web in Photoshop/Illustrator

I am puzzled to death on how in the world to get clean text for the web in Photoshop/Illustrator, particularly white text. I want my text to turn out exactly like the text at this website: thepainteddoor.org
If you scroll down to the bottom of that page, notice the titles "Featured Media", "Social Networking", and "Contact Information". They are all .gif images. I have tried to replicate what these images look like for about 3 hours now to no avail. Can anyone tell me how to do this? It just looks like a simple outline or drop shadow, but I can't get it to show up like that. If someone could help me replicate that effect with text (aka make it show up clean as an image), I would graciously give them money through PayPal*.
* = I will only give cash if it will replicate it exactly (and I mean exactly)..and it won't be too much..I'm a poor college student. :-P
Thanks in advance!
Thomas

You would do it the way I created it:
Select the Text tool in Photoshop and set the font and parameters as I have listed. Then enter whatever text you like. It will be rendered over the top of the lower layers you may have in the document. Save as an image of the appropriate type and you're there.
Note that "lower layers you may have in the document" could conceivably be none at all (i.e., you render the text over a transparent document). You could imagine saving that as a .png with transparency and get light text in an image that could then be put over the top of anything else. The alpha mixing will see to it that the edges smoothly blend with the background. I haven't actually tried this (I usually do try my own suggestions) because of lack of time right now.

How to create RFC Destination without using SM59?

Hello all:
We are troubleshooting an issue. An user created a RFC destination. He claims that he did not use SM59. We checked his access and do not have SM59 in his roles.
He configured VIRSA FireFighter. During the configuration, he created RFC destination. Document says use SM59 or contact BASIS Admin. He claims that he used a config table and he don't remember the config table name. RFC screen shows his ID as creator of the RFC.
We are trying to understand how an RFC can be created (outside of SM59) and plug the security hole in the environment.
Any insights would be appreciated.
--Anand

The FireFighter solution changes the RFC destination of the service user "on the fly" without S_TCODE checks for 'SM59'. But if I can remember correctly when looking into this, it does not create the RFC destination (in SM59) "on the fly".
> He claims that he used a config table and he don't remember the config table name.
Theoretically this is possible - a config table to define the name of the destination, and then create it if it does not exist yet (when used).
Otherwise, see SAP note 587410 and restrict (remove) his authority for the test environment (concentrate on S_DEVELOP, not S_TCODE - as you have also experienced).
Cheers,
Julius

How to create window key without using the trillium option

Hi,
I am having some problems when trying to create using the window key generator module in ODI data quality.
I created a business data parser for cleansing my records. This had to pass thru 4 routines, the transformer, parser, window key generator and the matcher routines. The transformer and parser routines have run properly but they window key generator is asking me to specify the window key.( I created the rules for the window key. Like last 3 consonants of last name and 5 digits of some ID). But this is not getting accepted when i am running it and pops an error message.
I also do not have the trillium module integrated with ODI as of now.
Can anyone help me with this problem or anyone has faced the same situation and have tried a work around for it.
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Chapanna

How do you create an array without using a shell on the FP?

I want to be able to read the status of front panel controls (value, control box selection, etc.) and save it to a file, as a "configuration" file -- then be able to load it and have all the controls set to the same states as were saved in the file. I was thinking an array would be a way to do this, as I have done that in VB. (Saving it as a text file, then reading lines back into the array when the file is read and point the control(s) values/states to the corresponding array element.
So how do I create an array of X dimensions without using a shell on the front panel? Or can someone suggest a better way to accomplish what I am after? (Datalogging doesn't allow for saving the status by a filename, so I
do not want to go that route.)

Thanks so much m3nth! This definitely looks like what I was wanting... just not really knowing how to get there.
I'm not sure I follow all the icons. Is that an array (top left with 0 constant) in the top example? And if so, that gets back to part of my original question of how to create an array without using a shell on the FP. Do I follow your diagram correctly?
If I seem a tad green... well I am.
I hope you understand the LabVIEW environment and icons are still very new to me.
Also, I had a response from an NI app. engineer about this problem. He sent me a couple of VI's that he threw together approaching this by using Keys. (I still think you are pointing to the best solution.) I assume he wouldn't mind m
e posting his reply and the VI's for the sake of a good, thorough, Roundtable discussion. So here are his comments with VI's attached:
"I was implementing this exact functionality this morning for an application I'm working on. I only have five controls I want to save, but they are all of different data types. I simply wrote a key for each control, and read back that key on initialization. I simply passed in property node values to the save VI at the end, and passed the values out to property nodes at
the beginning. I've attached my initialize and save VI's for you to view. If you have so many controls that this would not be feasible, you may want to look into clustering the controls and saving the cluster as a datalog file.

When it was explained to me it didn't sound to hard of a task, I have no LabVIEW experience and the tutortial sucks.

StevenD: FYI, I did NOT give you the one star rating. I would never do that!

Well, this is an assignment, so it is probably homework.
Why else would anyone give HIM such an assigment, after all he has no LabVIEW experience and the tutorials are too hard for him?
This would make no sense unless all of it was just covered in class!
This is not a free homework service with instant gratification.
OK! Let's do it step by step. I assume you already have a VI with the digital indicators.
"...but have no idea where to begin".
open notepad.
decide on a format, possibly one line per indicator.
type the document.
close notepad.
open LabVIEW.
Open the existing VI with all the indicators.
(are you still following?)
look at the diagram.
Who made the program?
Does the code make sense so far?
Is it a statemachine or just a bunch of crisscrossed wires?
Where do you want to add the file read?
How should the file be read (after pressing a read button, at the start of the program ,etc.)
See how far you get!

how can i create apple id without using credit card details ?

@Limnos - that doesn't work anymore. There is no NONE option. I've been at it for hours trying to set up my daughter's account.

Every single time you get to the stupid Touch, it wants to walk you through the verification of the account and it demands payment (even for their suggested apple Remote method listed in the KB).

How to create a text tag that shows up in a file but not on the sceen.

I need some help, I'm a newbie with enough skill to be dangerous. If someone can point me in the right direction has to how to use the F keys to apply the tagging mentioned below and the direction of how to do the tagging and make the tag invisible
in a text editor but not the text file. That would be great. If you wish to show some code examples that's OK, but if not I can stumble through and learn while doing it from your directions on how to get it done.
I will start with an example of what I'm trying to do; using the old desktop pub program Ventura. They had (what I'm calling a tag) tags in from of ASCII text in a file to tell the program what it was and what to do with it, I. E.; "Title@this
is the title text" the next line could be "Body@this is body text". When loaded the "Title@" would not be there on the screen.
I'm trying to create some text that uses a similar concept but not for formatting of text like Ventura.
I want to be able to highlight some text in an editor and then have it place some sort of tag for the highlighted text so that I could use it to do something upon that text and only that text; in concept the text "Bob Brush was a painter." I would
highlight Bob Brush and somehow assign a tag that would be "name" and then highlight "painter" and be tagged with "job".
The text file would then have something in it to distinguish "Bob Brush" and "painter" as what each is name and job. (as a note I'm not trying to make a database or form just using this simplified concept to get my idea across
because I get to wordy).
Thanks in advance BK

Hi bik,

It is unclear to me. Like you mentioned F keys, how does it work for? And Could you show us some code with a simple sample or a capture? It could be better to help us understand more.
In addition, I found a related thread

How to create a text file or XML file and add content through code into it...

Hi Everyone,
How to create a text file and add content through the code to the text file eform javascript ......orelse can we create a text file in life cycle designer...
Else say how to create a new XML file through the code and how some content like Example "Hello World".

You can create a text file as a file attachment (data object) using the doc.createDataObject and doc.setDataObjectContents:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.450.html
http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.528.html
You can then export the file with the doc.exportDataObject method:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.463.html
This won't work with Reader if it hasn't been given the file attachment usage right with LiveCycle Reader Extensions.
