How to Trim Rectangle with text to create reflection?

Hello Everyone,
I am realtively new to Illustrator and I am facing a problem that I am hoping some expert here can resolve. I have some text and I have converted it to outlines. Now I want to create shine on it. I want to fill a rectangle with white color and then clip it with text to give reflection effect but I can't figure out how to do it. I have selected my text and rectangle and tried all options in path finder tool but nothing seems to work. Please guide me how can this be done.
Regards,
Afraz Ali

Afraz Ali,
If you want to have the colour/colours/colour transition of the rectangle where the text is is nothing outside it, in other words colour the text with the colouring of the rectangle, you may:
Use Live Type over the rectangle, select both, and Object>Clipping Mask>Make.
With outlined type, you have to turn the lettershapes into a Compound Shape first.
As you can see, it is simpler to just use Live Type, and it is editable.

How to replace numbers with text in tax return pdf using Adobe Acrobat X Pro

How do I replace numbers with text in tax return pdf using Adobe Acrobat X Pro? The tax return was created using CCH software. Thanks for your review.

Thanks Bill for your quick reply. CCH software is one of the major
suppliers of tax return software. I found an internal source that helped me
make the changes from numbers to text i.e. "$123,456" to "See Schedule O".
I am not sure if I am working in form or final text. Thanks again! Kelly

How do we work with Text Frames in a structured xml template

Hi ,
I am working with structured template using Framemaker 7.2. I need to add Text Frame in the structured template. Could you please tell me how do I add text frame with the body page of a strcutred template.
Thanks
Manas.

Hi Manas,
Text frames work the same whether the template is structured or unstructured. The only thing you should be aware of is that a text frame creates another flow, which can be structured or unstructured. In either case, you will not be able to export its contents to XML. You didn't mention XML specifically, just thought I would note that.
Do you need general instructions on inserting a text frame? If so, I think the user guide should have that.

How to change a labels text which created at runtime?

hi,
i am creating label controls in runtime dynamically and adding them to a group component. this group component is in another custom component and i have lots of custom comp. in my app.
my question is how can access (via id) and change a labels text whict created at runtime?
i can change like this but i am setting id's and want to reach via id.
var lbl:mx.controls.Label = mx.controls.Label(subMenu5.group_subMenu5.getElementAt(1));
lbl.text = "good job";
thank you, have a good day.

First off, if you are already using a Spark Group, I would suggest you use a Spark Label instead of an MX Label. If you want to reference the Labels from the group, loop through the group's elements and check the if the element id matches the Label you want to assign text to.
var lbl:Label;
var n:int = myGroup.numElements;
for (var i:int = 0; i < n; i++)
     lbl = myGroup.getElementAt(i) as Label;
     if (lbl && lbl.id == "myLabel")
          lbl.text = "newText";

How do I have incoming text/phone calls reflect contact name

Inadvertant change of a setting - unsure which - that now does not have incoming text/phone messages reflect contact name if in Address Book. Only phone number appears. Help restore old setting

Longshot, but try resetting:
Hold both the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.
As for the font size, try Settings > General > Accessibility > Large Text, and change it to the desired size.

How to remove 'Outlines' default text when creating shapes from vector layers?

Hello everyone!
You know the text it adds to the name layer when you create shapes from a vector layer that says Outlines? Well, anyone know if it's possible to change it or remove it?
It sucks to have to remove it manually, especially when it's a lot of layers and you've taken the time to do the prepping in illustrator.
Thankss,
Oliver

if I have an illustrator layer that is named icon and I convert it to outlines I get a layer that is named icon Outlines. Are you trying to remove the word Outlines or are you getting just a layer that says Outlines? Personally I would not remove the word Outlines from shape layer because this would differentiate it from the original and let me know at a glance what's going on with the layer and the project. This would be valuable information if I were to return to the project a year later for modifications.

How to integrate BPM with Composite application created in Developer Studio

Hi,
I want to know what purpose can BPM fulfill in creating a composite application.
I want to execute various business processes like sales order creation etc. through CE. So should I use BPM components and avoid writing my own code logic and creating my own business objects in Developer studio?
Also how can I use BPM components in Developer Studio to achieve this?
Shall I create the Guided procedure model and UI in my composite application and then use BPM for business objects and the integration?
Plz give me a detail.
thanks
Roshan

Hi Roshan,
you can use BPM or Guided Procedures to implement the business logic of your process.
BPM combines very nice with WebDynpro. There are some guidelines available at SCN here:
[BPM and Web Dynpro for Java Integration u2013 Guidelines|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/index?rid=/library/uuid/b06c49b2-ac63-2c10-3d8d-d17b817ba4ca&overridelayout=true]

Rectangle with editable text

Hi
I am working on drawing applet, in which as soon as the user clicks and drags rectangle in canvas a pop up comes asking for some input by user.If the user drags the rectangle somewhere that input area should also move with it.
Tht means I want editable rectangle.
I don't know how to perform this and also I don't have to use javascript.
Kindly guide me for the same.
Thanks

Thnx for the reply.
Till now what I have come to know is that basically I need to use Composite Objects . I want a rectangle with text field. So that the user could enter some information like name and location.
I am working on map applet.
How can I use the concept of composite object for the same?
If there is any other way to do this please tell me.
I am new to java programming.
Thanks

Scaling buttons with text

Hello,
I work with the brand new fireworks CS6.
I would like to make a simple navigation with 5 buttons. But there is a big problem with the scaling of text. Even if i place buttons of the standard library i can't scale correct !!!!
After scaling the text is no more centered (vertical and/or horizontal).
When i write long text in a button i got some horrible scaling effects.
I tried to fix this problems many hours because i can't believe that such a basic function doesn't work.
In my symbols (buttons) i centered the text and the rectangle exactly (horizontal and vertical).
Do i have to change something in my properties?
Thanks,
psek

Dear Linus,
I think the 9-slice guides does not take effect to Text. They take effect only on forms. In my case i have a rectangle with text inside. The 9-slice guides are only for the rectangle relevant.
As explained it even doesn't works with the buttons from the fireworks standard library.

I created a 5x7 postcard document in Word with text boxes and graphics. When I converted it to PDF, some of the items were missing, even though they were in the boundaries of the page and looked fine on the Word document. What happened, and how do I fix

When I converted it to PDF, some of the items were missing, even though they were in the boundaries of the page and looked fine on the Word document. What happened, and how do I fix it? I'm trying to upload the PDF version to Vistaprint. Thanks.

Reader doesn’t create pdf files. You can use Acrobat (ask in that forum) to create pdfs. You can subscribe to the Adobe PDF Pack which has a create pdf functionality (please ask in that forum), or you can use a third party utility such as ghostscript, cutepdf, or Microsoft’s own PDF creation capability. For third party pdf creation you will need to ask in a forum dedicated to that software as fellow users of Reader are unlikely to have the knowledge to help.

How can i creat several rectangles with one draw rect.vi

how can i creat several rectangles with one draw rect.vi? thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can call it in a for loop, with an array of the rectangle coordinates you want to draw. Is this what you mean?

How to create pdf files with text field data

how to create pdf files with text field data

That looks like it should work, but it doesn't.
I opened the PDF I had created from Word in Acrobat (X Pro). Went to File > Properties. Selected "Change Settings". I then enabled "Restrict editing...", set a password, set "Printing Allowed" to "none", "Changes Allowed" to "none", and ensured that "Enable copying of text..." was disabled.
I saved the PDF file, closed Acrobat, opened the PDF in Reader, and I was still able to select text and graphical objects.
I reopened the PDF in Acrobat, and the document summart still shows everything as allowed. When I click on "show details" (from File > Properties) it shows the correct settings.
Any ideas?
