How to un-expand text?
I got a file from a coworker that include some text.
I would like to replace the text with my own, but his text have been "expanded" and each letter is on its own layer as a <compound path> in a group.
Is there a way for me to return this as a editable text and can I keep the attributes (color, gradient, etc)
Thanks guys
You can save to bitmap in good resolution and then use Acrobat's OCR Text Recognition to re-create live text.
It's been a good while since I last used it, so you'll have to experiment a bit, but it IS possible.

How can I expand text fields in my PDF file which I built in Forms Central?
I'm working in Windows 7 and just created my first form in Forms Central. I have many text fields that I intended for the end user to be able to type as much information in them as necessary. I selected the "multiple lines of text" setting for each of these fields. I was told by someone at Adobe a while back when I was trying to decide on learning LiveCycle Designer or using the much more user-friendly Forms Central that the form fields would not automatically expand in the PDF form, but that I would be able to click or drag on the fields manually to expand them so that, ultimately, they could be printed with all the comments, for however many pages it would take. I've exported my Forms Central form to a PDF file. However, when I type multiple lines of text in the form fields I set up to be "unlimited," I cannot get the form fields to expand. What have I done wrong? Help, please!
We are dealing with a similar situation. We have downloaded LiveCycle and created the form, but as we knew would happen, the changes that come for the content of the form are causing us to max our trial version, and as soon as the form needs a change outside of the trial time period, we are faced with the next dilemma, as Adobe doesn't offer to purchase a single license at a reasonable rate. The only reason we wanted LiveCycle was for the dynamic field feature. I plead with you to consider offering that feature in Forms Central. The other issue that we are having is that our users sometimes need to paste a table into the expandable text field. Is that even possible in Live Cycle? We don't at this point need the web-based functioning that Live Cycle offers. Thank you.

How do you expand text with an outline?
I'm trying to expand some type with a fill and an outline into a simple shape and am having a hell of a time (no surprise there.)
When I expand the text, the outline remains... an outline.
Here's what I'm doing: I'm trying to reproduce a logo. I set some type with Garamond and it needs to be just a bit thicker. So I added an outline and it looks good. Now I need just a shape, no text, no outline. Everytime I expand it the type expands but the outline doesn't.For anyone else....
Object > Expand (object and fill)
then
Object > Expand (fill and stroke)
then
Pathfinder > Merge.
Or...
Type > Create Outlines
then
Object > Expand (fill and stroke)
then
Pathfinder > Merge. -
How to show expanded text in popinTextBar in Table, for the first time
hi everyone.
For first time, not clicking popin button, I want to display expaned popInText in textBar in table.
Is it possible?
Regards bk Kim.Hi kin
The code you must write in the wdModify(wdthis,edcontext,view,firstTime) method
This method takes 4 parameters.The last boolean parameter firstTime indicates wether your screen is rendering for the firstTime or not.So in this method
write
if(firstTime)
// write the code you want to do so that it will execute only for the firstTime in the entire life cycle of a view controller.It will execute with out clicking a button

How to use that arrow/plus sign to expand text on a page...
Hi all,
I'd like to learn and find out how to use a symbol or icon or
whatever to expand text on one of my pages. We've all seen it but I
have no idea what they're using to do it, in fact I'm not even sure
what the correct name is! I was going to do a view source to try to
figure it out, but I can't seem to remember any sites where I've
seen it.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks.Take a look at the SwapClass tutorial from Project VII:
http://www.projectseven.com/tutorials/navigation/swapclassmenu/index.htm
Their demo uses SwapClass for a menu, but you can adapt it
for exactly what
you're talking about.
HTH,

Would like to put a pop-up in expanding text. Can anyone tell me how?
I have a need for creating popups within expanding text. A
colleague tells me there may be a script out there to drop into the
code that would allow me to do that. Can anyone give me some
guidance about that? Or does anyone have any other recommended
work-arounds for this? I tried putting popups within popups but
that doesn't work either. Any help is greatly appreciated.Hi Lynn
Your initial instructions sounded spot on to me. But I sense
that Shawn is possibly using the term "pop up" to refer to
"Text-only Popups" and not the full blown popups as we know them to
be. Additionally, I'm wondering if more confusion is ensuing as a
result of possibly referring to a DHTML drop down as Expanding
text. I only suggest this as what I saw seems to imply there are
several steps being displayed when the "expanding text" is clicked
upon. Expanding text is normally used for something concise and
brief, where the DHTML drop down is normally used for longer
procedures as was mentioned here.
Shawn, if I'm understanding you correctly, here is how to
insert a Text-only Popup in Expanding text. You simply create the
popup information in the main body of the page. Once created,
select the text the user clicks to see the popup, and CUT to the
clipboard. Now double-click your expanding text to open the editor.
Now paste the text where you want it. Once finished, you should end
up with some expanding text that when expanded, has a working
Text-only Popup.
Hopefully this helps some. Sorry I wasn't replying earler.
Was out conducting a Captivate class in Jacksonville, FL and just
got home. Looks like you had good solid answers and suggestions
from Lynn and Kitty Liz though!
Cheers all... Rick -
Expanding text fields side-by-side in a 2 column layout
Hi,
I've been trying to create a form that is a 2-column layout. This form contains expanding text fields that are side-by-side with additional form elements underneath. I managed to get the expandable fields to work, however, if the user writes too much in the text field in the left-hand column and it wraps onto a second page, the text field in the right-hand gets pushed to the second page. I am wondering if someone has experience with this and could help me figure out how to make sure the text field in the right-hand column stays in place as the text field in the left-hand column expands onto 2 pages.
I've tried to wrap each text-field in their own subform that stays fixed, but that seemed to cause the field to expand over the elements below it.
Take care,

for my bachelor-thesis I'm trying to create a 2 column layout in pages. The left column should contain all contents, the right column should only contain notes and additional information supporting the 'main' column. So the right column only contains a little text every now and then. Using the Layout Inspector and setting up 2 columns fills the right column automatically withe the contents overflowing the left column. What I'm hoping to archive is to create a 2 column layout leaving the right column blank, allowing me to insert Text-fields (unless there's a better way) wherever I need to add an annotation.
Hi Lukas,
Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Pages '09 forum.
Since you want the text to flow from page to page in the left column, it would appear best to use a single column for the main text, and to limit the width of that column using the right margin stop.
That leaves the right half of the page open for a series of text boxes (or shapes, as shown) to contain the notes and additional information.
I would start with a single text box or shape, resize it to the width you want, then duplicate that one each time you need a new box. That way all your text blocks have a common width to begin with, and if you take care to use only the handle at the center of the bottom edge to resize them, you will not disturb that width setting.
As noted earlier, the floating objects will not automatically travel with the text they apply to if editing causes that text to move.

Expanding Text Glossary Terms into Popup windows
I am using RH6 and I have a help project that uses expanding
text glossary terms throughout all the topics. When the topic is
printed out, the glossary terms are auto expanded and it disrupts
the flow of the text.
My questions are:
Is there a way to quickly change expanding text glossary
terms to just popup hyperlink windows?
If not, how can I find all the expanding text glossary terms
using the Multi Find and Replace?
Can they be searched for in a Report?There's another way. Enclose your glossary definitions in
brackets [a means of enclosing text] so that the definition does
not interrupt the flow. -
Expanding text not working as i would like
Hello,
I am working from Robohelp X5 and have often been using
expanding text within my project. When im creating my expanding
text and hyperlinking funtions it appears to look the way i have
set it up however, after publishing my project some of the
expanding text are already open (cascaded) and some are closed. I
would like them all to be closed unless selected by the end user.
How can I do this?When you apply a hyperlink to any size of text, RH will apply
the hyperlink style in the css stylesheet, which specifies the
character size.
The challenge is to apply your text specs after the phrase
that begins with
<a href= .................>
This is hard to achieve in WYSIWYG, because the RH html
viewer takes some shortcuts compared to the WebHelp output code.

How do I assign a style to all glossary (expanding text)
entries?
Semicolon1Expanding text is inserted via the DHTML menu, as Peter
indicated; that's why you can't select it from the Style drop-down
menu. You can't indent the paragraph for the style because
expanding text is designed to come immediately after a word. It
isn't a separate paragraph; the text is inserted into the current
paragraph. Because Expanding Text is a character style, you can't
customize any paragraph properties.
It sounds like you might find the Drop-Down Text style more
useful. The text is designed to come after the paragraph that
contains the drop-down link, so you can indent it and customize it
like any other paragrph style. -
Expanding text field & page numbers
Got a form with an expanding text field. Also have page # of # on the form. When the text field expands to multiple pages, it overlays (?) the page # of #.
Any idea on how I can not have the text field expand to cover it up ??The colors can be adjusted ....if its blue on your machine that is OK.
Can you share the form with me so I can see what is happening?
Can you send it to [email protected] and I will have a look. Please include a description of the issue in your email.
