Illustrator CS5 - removing empty text boxes

I've always found it difficult to select the type I want when I'm using the type tool to edit some text. I can click directly over the type but I guess I'm a zillionth of a pixel off because about half the time it assumes I want to make a new text box. So my documents are littered with invisible empty type boxes that often get grouped with other objects, causing lots of problems. I'd love to know:
1. How to make it easier to select type.
2. How to delete all empty text boxes. I remember hearing of a built-in way to do this, which indicates Adobe knows it's a problem, but rather than making type selections easier, they give us a shortcut to undo the problem they caused. At any rate, I've forgotten the shortcut.
Thanks for any help,
Dave

Kurt,
If I took a glass of wine and savored it every time I realized 
Illustrator doesn't behave as elegantly as FreeHand I would quickly 
expire from cirrhosis.
But I raise a glass to the forum users who know the ins and outs and 
share them with the rest of us.
Thanks,
Dave

  • Removing empty text frames

    trying to remove any text frames with empty content but it doesn't seem to be removing correct textFrame layers, any idea what I might be doing wrong?
    var numberOfEmptyTextBoxes = 0;
    var layersWithNoText = new Array();
    if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {
        for ( i = 0; i < app.activeDocument.textFrames.length; i++ ) {
            text = app.activeDocument.textFrames[i].textRange;
            numWords = app.activeDocument.textFrames[i].words.length;
            if (numWords == 0){
                      layersWithNoText.push(i);
                numberOfEmptyTextBoxes++;
        if(numberOfEmptyTextBoxes > 0){
                  alert("WARNING you have " + numberOfEmptyTextBoxes + " empty text boxes");
        alert("layers with no text:" +layersWithNoText);
        removeTextLayersWithNoContent(layersWithNoText);
    function removeTextLayersWithNoContent(layersWithNoText) {
              var layersWithNoText = layersWithNoText;
              for (var i = 0; i < layersWithNoText.length; i++) {
                        var currentIndex = layersWithNoText[i];
                        alert("current index: "+currentIndex)
                        app.activeDocument.textFrames[currentIndex].remove();

    yes, to do it like that, you would have to loop backwards to remove the textframes and not mess up with the indexes,
    or, push the textframes into your array like this
    var numberOfEmptyTextBoxes = 0;
    var layersWithNoText = new Array();
    if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {
        for ( i = 0; i < app.activeDocument.textFrames.length; i++ ) {
            text = app.activeDocument.textFrames[i].textRange;
            numWords = app.activeDocument.textFrames[i].words.length;
            if (numWords == 0){
                      //layersWithNoText.push(i); // don't push the indexes
                      layersWithNoText.push(app.activeDocument.textFrames[i]); // push the actual text frames
                numberOfEmptyTextBoxes++;
        if(numberOfEmptyTextBoxes > 0){
                  alert("WARNING you have " + numberOfEmptyTextBoxes + " empty text boxes");
        alert("layers with no text:" +layersWithNoText);
        removeTextLayersWithNoContent(layersWithNoText);
    function removeTextLayersWithNoContent(layersWithNoText) {
              var layersWithNoText = layersWithNoText;
              for (var i = 0; i < layersWithNoText.length; i++) {
                        var currentIndex = layersWithNoText[i];
                        alert("current index: "+currentIndex)
                        //app.activeDocument.textFrames[currentIndex].remove(); // removing 1 item re-indexes the remaining items
                        layersWithNoText[i].remove(); // remove the textframes in the array, regardless of actual index

  • Copying empty text boxes so that when you fill in one the others

    I use Acrobat Professional 8.  I size a blank text box... it's automatically labelled "Text1".  I can copy the empty box by holding the Control key down and moving the box.  Now I have 2 boxes.  If I want to do 3 boxes, I repeat that action.  The only problem is this:  They all say "Text1" and if you fill in the first box, all the other boxes are filled in with the same information.  Here is my question:  How do I copy empty text boxes so that this doesn't happen; that is, how do I copy the boxes such that if I fill in the first box, all the other boxes remain empty until I go and fill them?  Please.  Thank you.

    Somethings to try:
    Give each of the replicated Text boxes a unique name (Text1, Text2, Text3, etc.)
    Or, place Text1 then from the context menu select "Place Multiple Fields".
    This replicates the first and provides a unique Name to each.
    Position each field as desired.
    Be well...

  • Illustrator CS5 - remove calligraphy brushes transparency

    Hi!
    When I draw a path and use a calligraphic brush (like Calligraphy 1) as the stroke the line gets set with a transparency but in the Stroke Opacity panel it
    is at 100%. If expand the appearance, then the line will be filled correctly, but I want to preserve just the line with the stroke and the calligraphic brush.
    I looked in all the options, the brushes options, etc, and I found nothing. The thing is that does not happen with other non calligraphy brushes (like the normal brush, or others...)
    Any clue?
    Thanks!

    It could be a bug.
    No, it's normal behavior. If the objects were set to be semi-transparent when the brush was created, then the brush itself would still register as 100% opaque. It's the brush opacity, not the opacity of the internal objects.

    sorry but without knowing about source data for forming the xml i haven't ideas about your problem
    in db it's "TM " or "™" or ... ?
    Original (Coming - output):  "<PAY_TXT>PAYκ Contact your bank or financial institution to make this payment from your cheque, savings, debit or transaction account.</PAY_TXT>"
    Something like XAE or "K" after PAY Value in the xml tag and continued the text value.  (Tag value is not getting copied exactly here - i am sorry for that )
    that's ok. i need to see the problem not the data as is
    Expected (output):  "Here it needs to produce the "PAY TM" (Here "TM" should be super scripted to "PAY" Value in tag).
    as super scripted in xml?
    as idea - you can have <PAY_TXT>PAY TM</PAY_TXT> and in publisher set TM as super

  • Can you no longer have a background color for the text box in the new version of hp photo creations

    just updated to the new version of HP Photo Creations, used to be able to have a colored background for the text box - is that no longer possible in this new (not better) version????!!!!! Uuuuuuuuuugh

    Hi Lainey.
    Thanks for asking. We're working on bringing back that feature. In the meantime, here's another way to add text backgrounds: Add a placeable graphic and then click the Arrange button to send it to the back, behind the text.
    That approach also gives you more interesting shapes. The new alignment guides make it a snap to align a graphic with a text box. In the example below (it may take a day for the image to show up here), I also used the new Premium Editing Features to change the color of the graphic.
    P.S. — Applying a thick border to an empty text box (also using the Premium Editing Features) is another way to create a background shape. That has the advantage of letting you pick any color for the box. You'll also find several new text styles at the bottom of the new text menu.
    Let us know if we can help further,

  • Help on resizing text boxes and general image techniques

    Using CS2.
    I have two basic questions.  One has to do with getting the best vector images (with text) that I can for placement in InDesign documents.  The other has to do with the specifics of working with text boxes in FW.
    The easiest way for me to produce vector images has been by using PowerPoint.  I do all the graphics work and then save it as a gif.  I do cropping in a graphics tool (Irfanview, PS) and then insert or place the image.  As long as there is no resizing, things work well.  I'm not sure how things like DPI are controlled using this technique but I'm assuming that also would be done with the graphics tool.  I know Irfanview allows for the dpi to be specified during resizing.
    The problem starts to show up when the gif object is resized.  Things get distorted and I lose the crispness of the image contents.  I'm certainly not an expert on graphics however I've been thinking I either need to 1) make the actual size of graphics in PP the size of the final placed image so there is no resizing (just some cropping) or 2) to work in a tool like FW where (I'm assuming) there are better capabilities to resize vector graphics.  My sense (again, not an expert) is that the process I'm using converts to vector graphics in PP to a bitmap image in the gif and that resizing doesn't work as well for bitmaps as for vector objects.  Do I have that right?
    Moving on to question 2:
    Can text boxes be resized in FW without distorting the text?  Can their size be seen when originally drasing them?  Perhaps spoiled by PowerPoint, I like to set the width of vector objects (e.g. rectangle) and the width of the text that will fill it to the same size.  (I know PP has the ability to put borders on text boxes but when working in FW I need to work with 2 objects, the rectangle and the text box).  Say I have a rectangle that is 81px wide.  Can I set a text box to 81px wide without distorting the text?
    I tend to want to control actual object sizes so I can get good spacial alignment.  For example, I tend to set the width of a text object to an odd number of px so that any line coming out of the text object aligns well with the text.  I must admit that it may be time for me to use a different technique in FW (e.g. more alignment of multiple objects vs. knowing dimensions and seting locations).  Does my approach need improvement?
    Thanks for any advice
    Tom

    As I wean off of PP I've started looking at FW and Illustrator (I have both).  I've done a logo or two in FW and have used it to build some simple web graphics (e.g. buttons, menus).  It can, as I recall, be a little more complex than what I need in this case.
    Since PP is not a graphics program, its drawing capabilities are very limited. As a consequence, any graphics application will have many more features than you're used to seeing and more than you need for any one project.
    I did a little experimenting with Illustrator and my first impression is that it will work better for me for this work.  It seems a little more intuitive.
    Is a general guideline to use FW for web-destined graphics and Illustrator for what I used to do in PP?
    Your suggested guideline is good. Also, note that if you make a logo or vector graphic in Illustrator (saving as .ai format), you can import that into Fireworks and work with it as a vector object there. FW can import and use, just not create, .ai objectes and files.
    FW has some vector tools, they are tucked away under Window > Others > Path. Since FW is intended for producing Web graphics, it is a hybrid application, capable of both vector and photo/image editing. Given that it has some of both, it necessarily doesn't have everything that Illustrator has nor everything that Photoshop has. It has most the features of both of those programs, as long as the feature is useful for a Web graphics designer. For pure photo editing Photoshop has the edge; for pure illustration, Illustrator has the edge. Both Photoshop and Illustrator support color profiles and other features important for print that Fireworks does not. All are good programs, but there are reasons to prefer one over the other depending on what kind of graphics you need to create or work with and what your intended use of the work is. (But any of them will be superior to PowerPoint! )
    I'm not sure I can unravel the mystery with the text box resizing.  I suspect theres an option selected.  Knowing it can be done is enough for me to do some homework.
    Maybe...don't think of text boxes at all. You have text objects. The object has a bounding box that is determined by the underlying definition of the font, but it isn't in a text box. (Sometimes swooshs will extend beyond the defining box of a character in the font, but that is another issue). The bounding box for the text object is similar to the bounding box of a circle or a star or an irregular shape. There's a reference box for the dimensions, but the text is not inside some other independent container.
    To resize, select the text object and change the font size either using the Properties palette or using the scale tool to drag on a corner of the scaling outline (different from the bounding box, and I don't know why, sorry).
    I think that,with Illustrator, you can define text boxes (or other shapes) and fill them with text. *searches* Ah.. Like these: http://school.tatoland.com/illustrator/aitype.html
    cheers!

  • Convert PDF to Word - Tables are in Text Boxes using Acrobat 11. How can this be avoided?

    Hello All,
    I am using Acrobat 11 to convert PDF's to MS Word .doc or .docx. The tables are converted correctly but they are inside Text Boxes. My documents have hundreds of tables and I cant manually remove the text boxes.
    Is there a way to remove the Text Box that contains each table?
    Regards Paul

    Hello Anubha,
    My apologies.  Hopefully you can see the table is inside a text box. The Acrobat 7 doesn't behave like this, nor do some of the other PDF conversion products.
    In my output there is 700 pages with average of 3 tables per page. A manual workaround to get the tables out of the text boxes wouldn't be practicable.
    Can you confirm that this is not the expected behaviour. I thought I recently saw a video showing this behaviour as standard for Acrobat 11.
    Regards Paul

  • Why is the text box acting so weird??

    I am trying to do something simple that I've done a million times in Photoshop CS5 -- create a text box with some text inside. But something is going wrong and I can't quite figure it out...
    Notice how the text box is now much larger than the text displayed. I would like to make this text box as wide as the guide aligned with the "Donate" box.
    ... But when I pull the right middle handlebar in slightly, look what happens to the text:
    Any idea what's going on here?

    Did the text come from an email or a word processor? Try cutting and pasting the text into a word processor. Opt for showing all the formatting marks, such as spaces, paragraphs, etc. Delete everything but the text and necessary spaces. Paste it back into a new text box created to the size you want with the text tool. It should now flow to the size of the box. The other option is to retype the text into a properly sized text box, making sure not to use the return button at all. I know this answer doesn't specifically address what is wrong with the box you show, but it should get the text into the shape you want.

  • IPhoto books- Delete text boxes?

    For several pages in an iPhoto book I am making, I do not want any text or descriptions. However, there are empty text boxes whose outlines are still showing up. I don't want the pages to print with the text box outlines. There is nothing typed in the boxes and I have tried deleting them, but I can't figure out how to.
    For the portfolio theme, the layout options include the text boxes. All the pictures are situated how I want them, but I just don't want the text box rectangles showing up. Any suggestions?
    Message was edited by: wsull

    Most page layouts offer one with and without text boxes. Check the layout menu at the bottom to see if there's not one without text for your theme.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: iPhoto 8's new option in it's rebuild library window, "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" may make this tip obsolete. We'll know when users have occasion to use it and see if that's the case.

  • Removing overset text in empty table rows (InDesign CS5.5)

    I have some overset text in a table that appears to be empty rows.  I've opened story editor so I can remove the text, but I can't select the area that's overset (the red lines).  How does one remove this overset stuff if you can't select it.

    Have you tried adjusting the height of the row to reveal the over set text?
    Or try placing your cursor in the cell in question and just hit the delete key...Sometimes invisible characters like column break can be accidently added.
    Or perhaps, highlighting the entire row and hit the backspace key.

  • Can you remove XMP data from .eps files in Illustrator-CS5.5?

    Background:
    I'm using font software called Typetool 3 and Illustrator CS5.5.
    I am using these on Windows 7, 64 bit.
    This is entry level font software released by Fontlab.
    This software accepts artwork through the .eps file format in both theory and practice.
    However: it refuses illustrator CS5.5 .eps files.
    When I looked at this I came up with two highly interesting things: First- CS5.5 illustrator files are roughly 13 times the size of CS5 files, of this type (a simple font glyph-comparing a 29-30 kbfile to a 420-450 kb file in cs5 and cs5.5 respectively).
    Thing two came from looking at what that data was (by opening it in a text editor). It appears that some of the data XMP data, illustrators data for tracking things like who created the file, copyright, and other. In document info many of these fields were blank. I'm sure this isn't the only issue because my exported xmp data is 64 kb large, but it does account for a chunk of the file.
    The main question being: Can this xmp data; which for my purposes is redundant, because I have to put copyright and other data in the font, be removed or not included at the point of document creation?
    The technical question being:Can the file be saved in a manner which will allow it to be exported from adobe CS5.5 and imported into Typetool 3?
    Things I've tried:
    In saving .eps file: removing document headers, previews, color data, saving as different versions of the language. Basically saving it without all settings.
    In saving .ai file: saving without any settings checked (without compression, pdf editting, ect.) and saving it to a different level of illustrator.
    I do not know enough about postscript programming to navigate the file or remove the offending data. Nor do I have time to do this over multiple glyphs.
    As a matter of opinion I do not like that my software is including potentially identifying information (which is one of the intents of XMP data, to provide identification) without notifying the creator, let alone allowing me to keep it from doing that. I would not mind or bother-except for the fact its messed up an established workflow. If someone editted this data without my knowledge, say with a virus or heaven forbid manually, it would be also be bothersome. Having a check that identifies that I am sending this data out would give me something to know if this situation was in fact happening. Additionally for a situation like mine-communication between programs in a closed environment where no other users are involved, its unnecessary and wasteful... like putting gold rims on what is intended to be an oxcart.
    I'm planning on going to Fontlab for later this week, as it is as much thier issue as it is Adobe's. From what I know XMP is both a useful and popular technology- having a workaround for this situation seems like it would be a good idea. If necessary I can attach some working files for comparision.

    I would save it as EPS (version Illustrator 3). This should be compatible to almost any  software that takes EPS.

  • Indesign CS5 hangs when resizing text box

    I have looked at 20 pages of discussion and not found an answer.
    Every time I resize a text box Indesign will hang. It's a 380 page book, not every text box but some and the problem includes adding or deleting lines to make text move to a different page. Of course, the text is imported from a word doc.
    I have done all the usual stuff, checked and removed fonts, deleting preferences and cashes, exporting as an interchange doc and reopening. Nothing works.

    First, thanks to all who responded to my problem. My first time using the forums.
    It seems the footnotes are the problem causing ID to hang when text is reflowed.
    I have published longer books with longer text threads with no problem, but that was with CS1 and no footnotes. I upgraded to CS5 in December.
    Previous books have had footnotes at the end, which makes them endnotes I guess, but for this book the client wanted footnotes on the bottom of the page on which they occur.
    I broke the thread and I'm replacing the text boxes two pages at a time. Format them like I want, than place two more. This way all text which is reflowed is hidden and not really reflowed. After several hours and almost a hundred pages, no hangs or spinning beach balls.
    My system is a 24" iMac with OSX 10.6.6 and 4 GBs of RAM.
    I've not worked with cross references and it sounds like I don't want to.
    Once again, thanks!

  • How can I get a Distiller dialog box in Illustrator CS5 which is exactly the same as Distiller?

    I would like to know if there is some type of plug-in, etc. out there that would allow me to have all the functionality of a Distiller dialog box when I save a PDF out of Illustrator CS5. Right now, I just have what comes installed with Illustrator. It's a stripped down version of what you would find in distiller.

    When you save a PDF out of Distiller it doesn't just have different options, it's an entirely different program. It doesn't do things the same way, so it can't have the same options. Saving from Distiller is in many ways better, expecially in that transparency isn't flattened.
    What specific options are you looking for?
