How to make text formatting stick on book cover when sent to Apple or to PDF?

In iPhoto '11 (version 9), one can format text on book covers and in text blocks by selecting the text and right clicking.  Font, size, color, and shadowing can be selected and changed.  All of this displays correctly and sticks when the book is saved, etc.  However, if the book is "previewed" or exported to a PDF (which I believe is the format sent to Apple for actual printing) some of the formatting is lost, permanently.  It just goes away.  Why?  And, more importantly, how can I make this formatting stick?  I'm mainly interested in shadowing as it gives the text a 3d look.  All shadowing is lost - font and size do stick.  I have successfully done this shadowing in several previous releases of iPhoto, and actually had it printed by Apple.  Any ideas out there?  Or is this another wonderful "feature" ?
Thanks for playing.

Sorry LN, but that is the problem.  When I do either the preview or the export to PDF, the shadow formatting disappears.  There is another forum discussion where some person discovered this only after receiving their three hard cover books.  I'm pretty sure it is a bug.  I have Snow Leopard and iPhoto '11 (v9) both with latest updates.
One other note - when applying the text shadow, anytime I adjust either of the three shadow sliders, the shadow disappears and I must click on the main shadow button to make the adjusted shadow reappear.   As I said, it does then stick until I do either the preview or PDF as described in the article you referenced.  Very, very, very annoying.
Will try to contact Apple today, although I have had very poor luck with ever getting them to admit to any problem in the past.  ( pride goeth before the fall....). Hope they will listen, but I have a close deadline on this book.

  • How to make firefox to open new a tab when you click a link in pdf

    I have this pdf page that has a lot of links embedded opened on Firefox (24.7).
    When I click the link on the pdf page, it jumps to the page on the very same tab.
    Is there any way to open links on a pdf page in a new tab?
    What value in about:config should I modify to make it happen??

    Hi,
    You can't open link in new tab by middle click on PDF page...
    You must be talking about behavior on normal web page.
    Thanks for your response anyways.

  • How to make text start at the top of a page in livecycle 9

    Hi, How can I get the text in a large text field to start at the top left of the field rather than at the center of the field? In addition, may one know how to make text wrap in the form as well?
    Thanks,
    David

    To set the Text alignment properties use "Paragraph" pallet you can make it visible by selecting Window>>Paragraph or Shift+F5
    And to allow text wrapping you need to select "Allow Multiple Lines" checkbox under "Object" pallet and "Field" tab. You can make Object pallet visible by selecting Window>>Object or Shift+F7.
    Good Luck,

  • How to make text columns with adobe muse

    Hi,How to make text columns with adobe muse (like InDesign)?

    Multiple columns can be acheived with CSS - http://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_multiple_columns.asp
    div
    -moz-column-count:3; /* Firefox */
    -webkit-column-count:3; /* Safari and Chrome */
    column-count:3;
    I'm surprised that Muse does not support text columns yet, but perhaps the custom CSS can be added in style tags on page properties. Haven't tried it, but don't see why it wouldn't work.

    please help how to make table format outpur what are the steps that i need to produce correctly.

    Hi,
    From your post, it seems that you need to upload the results of the query to Oracle Support.
    You can spool the output to a file and upload it.
    Something like...
    SQL>spool output.txt
    SQL>set lines 200
    SQL>set pages 200
    --execute the queries
    SQL>spool off
    I don't know about SQL Developer but tools such as PL/SQL Developer and Toad will allow you to export the query results directly to MS Excel.

  • How to keep text formatting from a php flatplan to Indesign

    Hi forum users
    my question is this:
    My company uses a PHP flatplan to recive and store work ready for the deisgners to place in indesign, however any text formatting ie bold, italics etc when copied from the flatplan dont keep when pasted into indesign, im just wondering if there is a way to keep the formatting if anyone knows.
    Currently using Indesign 5.5 but wondering if Indesign 6 has any fixes for this etc
    many thanks

    It may not work for PHP, but there is an option in the prefs to include all information, or text only, when pasting from external applications.

  • How to make smaller format?

    Hi!
    Is it possible to make smaller format for movie(DVD),because when i copy movie from original dvd to my laptop he takes 7.78GB on hard?
    thank you

    Have you already tried burning to Verbatim DL media 8.5GB at 4x?
    If DL isn't an option for you then consider using Roxio Toast and SL Dvd-R (fit to dvd) in order to burn the image to SL Verbatim Dvd-R (your choice).
    Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

  • How to provide text formatting options to user from a text field

    Hi,
    My requirement is - in the interactive form, a comments field needs to be provided where user should be able to enter text with formatting options like
    Headers
    indentations
    bold/italic
    bullet points and numbers
    Once user enters the formatted texts in a text field, data needs to be displayed/printed in the same format. Could you help me on how to provide these formatting options to the user for a particular text field?
    I understand that once I define the text field with format XHTML (with RTF), user formatting can be captured and displayed in the same way. But I am not sure on how to provide the formatting options for the text field.
    Thank you,

  • How to apply text formatting immediately?

    Hello!
    I apply text formatting to the empty newly created text flow. It seems to be strange that the formatting is not applied immediately, but when I start editing.
    The small sample demonstrates the problem.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <mx:Application

    />
    </mx:Application>
    When you click the button new font size is set. But the cursor in text field is not changed to a bigger one until I start editing. Also if to look at the textFlow internals in debugger you can see that new font size is not set...
    How can I force this?
    Kind Regards

    This is arguably a bug with a few things conspiring to cause the problem.  The general idea is that each paragraph ends with a paragraph terminator and the final terminator isn't selectable - that seems to be the core of the problem.  The other conspirator is that with a point selection character level format changes aren't applied until the next character is entered.  So with an empty document you always have a point selection. I could see character level format changes applying instantly to empty paragraphs.  I'll file a bug for more investigation.
    As for workarounds - well there's always direction model calls - just set the format directly on the span.  Another possibility would be to detected exactly this case and insert a character and then undo it.
    Note in your sample code the refreshSelection and updateAllControllers calls after applyFormat are redundant and can be safely removed.  Also any of the formats passed to applyFormat can be null.
    Hope that helps,
    Richard
