Illustrator automatically inputs numbers in boxes

Hi, I have a problem with Illustrator CS6, everytime i want to input a number(for example line weight, size and so on...) Illustrator automaticly autofills the highest possible number.
I have included an example, when I try to create a new document I first filled out the with a 1200 pt, I then pressed tab two times to get to height, but when I do, my original 1200 pt is replaced with 16383 pt. Illustrator does this consistently in all input boxes.
It's a trial copy and when I first started using the program it didn't do this, then all of the sudden after a couple of hours work it started. I have tried to uninstall and re install and the problem disappears and then comes back eventually. No problem in any of the other Adobe programs.
Any ideas of how to fix it?

Below reply  is for mac, should be similar for PC.
Illustrator remembers the last settings you used in your illustrator prefs. With illustrator closed you can delete the file.
/Users/(YOURNAME)/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS6 Settings/en_US/Adobe Illustrator Prefs
The run applications > utilities > disk utility as you may have a permission problem and you .ai prefs file may be getting locked.
Now restart illustrator and try again.

  • How do I stop Illustrator automatically adding numbers to file name when exporting with artboard?

    I need to export with artboard. Illustrator automatically adds a number to my original file name. It won't even let me replace the old file. It is extremely annoying and makes flow with other programs really hard because they can't auto update, since the file name  changes. When you have multiple files, you can't be manually renaming all the time. Anyone knows how to fix this? Thanks.

    This has been discussed a few times, and here is a summary of the usual solutions.
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/2989508#2989508
    What is it EXACTLY you are trying to do. Are you trying to export a single page from filename.ai  and make it filename.psd, (without any number afterwards). In that case you could delete the extra artboards prior to export, and then you won't have to checked use artbaords as there is only one page. Otherwise I would plan ahead so your end result will be filename-01.jpg,  filename-02.jpg, and then everytime you use export artbaords those names will replace.
    I am happy with the function as is, and would prefer to have a serial number automatically after the name when checking use artboards. But sounds liek you and others desire more options and thte ability to turn off adding to the filename.

  • Automatic page numbering not working in book files

    Hi. Using CS3, I have successfully created a book in the past, where the dialog box of the book file shows consecutive page numbers for each file.
    e.g file 1 1-4 (indicating 4 pages, starting on page 1)
    file 2 5-22 (indicating 18 pages, starting on page 5) etc.
    Files automatically renumber if I insert pages, etc.
    This next book I am creating has two problems:
    1. the book file dialog box shows
    file a 1-4 (indicating 4 pages, starting on page 1)
    file b 1-6 (indicates 6 pages - STARTS ON PAGE 5 AS IS IS SUPPOSED TO, in some cases - see problem 2).
    I've followed the protocol below:
    For the first document, I select "start page numbering at" and enter "1". For the rest of the files, I select the automatic page numbering radio button.
    Why won't the dialog box reflect, for file b, pages being 5-11 as it is supposed to? This will get very confusing as the document gets larger.
    2. I created a document by resaving an initial file as a new file in order to create additional documents, keeping the same master but changing content. Even with the automatic page numbering radio button selected, some of these files start on the wrong page (e.g. 5 when the file is supposed to start on 12), after I select Update Page and Section numbers from the book dialog drop-down. I can't figure out what may forcing an override of this page numbering and am looking for a pointer in the right direction...thank you,
    Erin

    I am having the same exact problem as Erin. The page numbers don't even get updated correctly on the documents within the book.
    I'm using InDesign CS3 5.0.3 on Win XP.
    For the first document in the book, "Start Page Numbering at:" is set to "1." "Chapter Number:" is set to 1.
    For the second and third+ documents in the book, "Automatic Page Numbering" is selected, as is "Continue from Previous Document in the Book."
    In the Book panel, all documents show page "1-x". When I open the second and third+ documents, the page numbers all start at page 2.
    Any ideas? Please tell me this is a documented bug because it's driving me crazy.
    Thanks.

  • InDesign: Letter spacing messed up in automatic page numbering

    The numbers in my documents are smashed together when using automatic page numbering in InDesign.. They are fine when there is a single character (1-9 )but when there is two characters (10 or higher) the kerning is gone and the numbers overlap?
    Anyone know why and how to fix?

    I think I might have just figured it out...
    I was cutting and pasting text boxes from masters above... deleting the special charactor and insearting agin in a text box that I had inserted one before instead of creating a new one to insert new special character... ID does not like that I guess

  • Help with Numbers. I am trying to input numbers such as 001, 002 etc.

    I am trying to input numbers such as 001, 002 etc. but the 00's in front keep getting dropped. I understand putting them there does not make this true or real numbers but I need them in this table. How do I get this without the 00's being dropped?

    If have a preset length of the field where the whole column must have the same length and you want to just backfill the leading zeroes, you could use a formula
    If you enter this in cell C2 and paste it down in C column, it will add leading zeroes to your numbers listed in column B
    =LEFT("00000",5−LEN(B2−1))&B2
    If you want to expand this to a larger length, just add as many zeros as you want in the formula "0000000000" and change the 5 to however many zeroes you have between the "" in the formula.
    If you want to add a constant number of zeroes (2 in my case) in front of the number, you could modify the formula to something like this:
    =LEFT("00000",2))&B2
    If you make it a formula, this would automatically turn the field format to show the leading zeroes, BUT..... you could still perform calculations on that field, which is a bonus!!!

  • I need to start the page numbers over for a new section in a document (i.e. first six pages are roman numerals, next 70 need to be in arabic numerals), but for some reason, the automatic page numbering has started over at number 3 instead of 1. Help!!

    If anyone has any idea why it's doing this, or what I can do to fix it, please help!

    No idea why it's doing this.
    You should be able to fix it by using Insert > Page Number, rather than 'Automatic Page Numbering.'
    Set Page Numbers in your second section to "Start at:" 1

    JS can not interact with open dialogs in any way, unless it's a dialog
    created in JS using the Dialog object.

  • How to disabled the input parameter dialog box in crystal reports 9

    Post Author: Murtaza
    CA Forum: General
    Hi friends,I have got stuck with a weird problem.  In my
    crystal report, I have set up some input parameters.  I am setting
    values for these parameters somewhere inside code.  But I don't
    want to show the default input parameter dialog box. Under any case,
    user should not see the ugly parameter dialog box that crystal
    presents.   Please suggest me how I can achieve
    this.  I cannot do this through code, because our environment does
    not allow that.  I have to do this in crystal reports viewer and
    by setting some property of the crystal report object. But everything
    must be done on UI, not through code. So, the solution should not be the following. 
    // step before step 1
    // **** the line needs to refer to the report and be set before setting
    ReportSource in the viewer to myReport
    myReport.EnableParameterPrompting = False
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Murtaza

    Hi Murtaza,
    Unfortunately, I am not aware of any method to suppress the prompt for the input parameters, but still use them.  It is truly a design-related issue for the report.  The reason that the prompt appears is because the parameter it is prompting for is used in the report; in particular either the Group or Record Selection, or referenced in another formula.
    The only way I can think of to not show the prompt, is to not use the parameter in the report.  You did mention that you are setting the value of the parameter inside of the report -- are you doing this through using a formula?  Perhaps you can just remove the parameter and only use the formula that you are setting the default values with.

  • Error while setting Minimum value to  Input Number Spin Box..

    Hai
    I drag and drop a VO and created a table.In that table,i convert a column which contain an InputText field to Input Number Spin Box.At the time of page load ,the table fetches the datas from the DataBase and showing Number values in the SpinBox.After that,When i scroll the table through vertical scrollBar,the table showing *"fetching data"* and Error is throwing as *"The value must be Number"* .. In the VO,this attribute is Number.
    THIS ERROR ONLY OCCURS when i set the Minimum value of spinBox ..The purpose of setting minimum value is that i only want user to select ve value only..How can i restrict the user for selecting only ve values..?(ie,*How can i set minimum value to SpinBox?)*

    Try changing the datatype of your attribute in the EO to be Double instead of Number.

    Perhaps you are loading a template that has a text block already on it.

  • Automatic input of cost center in MIRO

    Hy everybody,
    I've done a substitution maintenance for automatic cost center input depending on the store of the purchase order and/or the store of inbound delivery. Everything is allright.
    Now when I go to the tc MIRO and I've a different amount between the purchase order and the bill : I'can automatically input the cost center.
    Thanks for help

    Thanks for your answer,
    the amount I want to input to the cost center when I've done the MIRO, is the recording of the new value of the stock, generated by the new price.
    The final issue is I want to have a stock valuation by Store witch are the profit center. So I use the cost center to do that, maybe I'm wrong ?

  • Why does Preview automatically resize the text box to cut off the last character of added text? How do I fix it?

    Why does Preview automatically resize the text box to cut off the last character of added text? How do I fix it?
    I use the Tools > Annotate > Add Text feature, and when I click away after adding text, it automatically changes the text box size such that the last letter -- or last word -- gets bumped off into an invisible line below it, forcing me to manually adjust every single text box. It is highly annoying when trying to complete PDF forms (e.g. job applications).
    It appears to be a glitch, quite honestly, an error resulting from Apple's product design. Has it been fixed in the new operating system (for which they want $30)?
    I would very much appreciate any help you can provide! Thank you for your time.

  • System.read.in(); -problems when inputting numbers

    Very wet behind the ears when it comes to java and having problems in inputting numbers. My course requires me to write a program that converts degrees c to degrees f. An addition is to have the user input the value of degrees c. When I input a value, say 0, then instead of c being that value it is 49 instead (maybe ASCII?). I sense that the problem is the System.in.read(); bit. I've preceded it with (int) and also tried (char) but to no avail. The other problem is how to get the program to accept a double figure or treble figure input (i.e 20 degrees c). My program is below. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    //This program is designed to convert degrees Celsius into degrees Fahrenheit
    class Ctof
         public static void main(String[]args)
         throws java.io.IOException
              //identify variables
              int c;
              double f; //double is needed as calculation involves fractions
              System.out.println("Please input a value of degrees Celsius then press [Enter]");
              c=(int)System.in.read();
              f=(c/(5.0/9.0))+32;
              System.out.println(c + " degrees Celsius"); //prints value of c
              System.out.println("This is " + f + " degrees Fahrenheit"); //prints value of f
    }

    I think this should work...
    import java.io.*;
    class Ctof
    static BufferedReader b;
    public static void main(String[]args)
    throws java.io.IOException
    //identify variables
    int c;
    double f; //double is needed as calculation involves fractions
    b = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
    System.out.println("Please input a value of degrees Celsius then press [Enter]");
    c = Integer.parseInt(b.readLine());
    f=(c/(5.0/9.0))+32;
    System.out.println(c + " degrees Celsius"); //prints value of c
    System.out.println("This is " + f + " degrees Fahrenheit"); //prints value of f
    } I've added a BufferedReader to read data from the input stream (System.in). This then gets converted to an int. System.in.read() is only really for reading bytes.
