Import text image in Dreamweaver

Hi All
I have designed some text headings (which are in colour) with a transparent background in fireworks and exported it (gif) to Dreamweaver. That is all good. But when I place the text image (as a background image) in Dreamweaver the text has (in places) white edges which I dont want. Any ideas why this is happening???
Any advice
Paul

The effect that you're experiencing is known as "jaggies". When exporting from Fireworks, you need to set the Matte colour picker to a similar colour to your background.
A better solution, though, would be to use an embedded web font. You can get a lot of free webfonts from www.fontsquirrel.com. Alternatively, if you're using the Creative Cloud, you have access to a lot of TypeKit fonts.

InDesign CS3 Scripting XML Import Multiple Images into same Text Frame

I am having trouble importing multiple images into the same Text Frame using XML import. I imported 5 images into the text frame. However, all 5 images are laying on top of one another. Does anyone know if there is a way to have all images laying out like how Microsoft Word handles inline images, i.e., laying out next image to the right of previsous image in the same line and if there is not enough space left in the line, then wrap to next line. Thanks in advance. I understand I could use JavaScript to do post import processing, e.g, calculate the image size and place each images accordingly. But I am trying to see whether there is a way to do this without scripts.

You can apply an object style to all anchored images by script. A text frame containing main flow should be selected.
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var textFrame = app.selection[0];
var rectangles = textFrame.texts[0].rectangles;
if (rectangles.length > 0) {
for (var i=0; i < rectangles.length; i++) {
rectangles[i].appliedObjectStyle = doc.objectStyles.item("Cover");
However, there is a better approach:
Step 1
Create place holders for a single "Book" element and format it as needed -- apply an object style to the cover.
Step 2
Import the xml file -- the placeholders are replaced with data from the 1st xml element
Step 3
Drag & drop the element containing all "Books" elements into the main flow -- all elements are placed and formatted the same way as in step 1.
Finally, add a new page, click the overset text icon and autoflow text to add pages so that to fit all the text.
Hope this helps.

Create an image and text rollover in Dreamweaver?

I'm wanting an image and text to have a link and then the image and text to change to another image and text automaticly. Here is a link that I want it to look like. (local hot spots) Is there a way in Dreamweaver to do it or by inserting HTML code...

Thanks to any help I can get.

All depends on what you want.
CSS a:hover affects the text/image mouseover state.

Disjointed content inside <span> tags displays wherever you code it to appear on hover.

How to import PDF image into Pages manuscript that is larger than the text bed margins

How do I import a PDF image into a Pages book manuscript, whose dimensions are larger than the global text bed margins? Any imported PDF image is automatically shrunk to fit within the text bed. I know I can set up a single page with wider margins and a text bed within it, but I want the image to import to a page already within the manuscript sequence, where the text bed margins are set and constant.

By default it should be dragging in as a floating image and not part of the text.
What version of Pages are you using?
In Pages 5 this is:
Format > Arrange > Object Placement > Stay on Page > Size > Original size

Importation document word 2007 (zones de texte-images-tableaux)

Bonjour,
Je pensais, en créant ma plaquette commerciale sur Word 2007, pouvoir l'importer facilement dans Indesign CS4.
Je veux juste lui rajouter quelques effets (pages qui tournent par exemple)..
Grosse erreur !
Le résultat n'est pas au rendez-vous.
J'ai d'abord créé mon document (14 pages).
Puis :
1er   test : importation de mon document Word enregistré au préalable en PDF
               -> le résultat n'est pas "propre" : notamment pour les zones de texte qui deviennent floues...
2em test : importation d'un fichier Word 2007(Fichier/Importer/Microsoft Word 2007)
               -> le logiciel Indesign se bloque sur la fenêtre "Importation de document Microsoft Office Word 2007". Le curseur commence à se remplir de blanc. Au dessus, un message m'indique "traitement des attributs de caractères", puis plus rien... et je constate en passant pas le gestionnaire de tâches que le logiciel ne répond plus, et je suis obligé de le fermer.
Auriez-vous quelques conseils ?
De plus, j'aimerais bien savoir pourquoi il est aussi difficile de tranférer des PDF (créés avec un logiciel adobe ou autre - par exemple "quark Xpress" sur Indesign) ?
Merci par avance pour vos réponses et vos conseils.

Bonjour à tous les deux,
Tout d'abord, merci pour vos réponses.
J'ai bien fait comme vous Hans-g : création des pages - et Importation (CTRL+D) en *.PDF ou *.doc - Cela fonctionne mais la qualité n'est pas au rendez-vous : tout est flou (tableaux zones de texte, images et leurs bordures).
Merci quand même.

HTML Emails and background images in Dreamweaver

Hello. I created a HTML email in Dreamweaver. The original design came out of Indesign and had very specific background art. I removed all the text out of the Indesign and created a jpg. I took this jpg in Photoship and sliced and optimized it. I imported this HTML into Dreamweaver. Here I need to add in all the text (which is variable). I was originally thinking that you can only place background images with CSS. But I was told that you should not use CSS for HTML emails. So instead I left all the background art as normal images inside of a table. At this point I need to add text over these images. They only way I could figure out to do it was to add a div tag right over the image and type into there. This seemed to work fine but when I tested it in some emails all the div tags with text showed up under the table with images. This needed to display over. What is the best way to handle this issue? Thank you in advance.
Melanie

Sorry, but you cannot layer text over images in emails. Simplify your design or make an image with text on it in Photoshop. Use absolute URLs to images on your web server. And give people who can't see graphics and HTML pages in their email client a link to the HTML page on your web server.

More information re my problem with text image

Hi All

Just a quick update. There's good news from my side. :-)
Thanks to the Oracle support, with the help from Metalink team, this problem has been resolved now.
Here's what BEFOREPARAMFORM trigger contained:
BEFORE (Original code)
===========
:P_START := TRUNC(SYSDATE);
AFTER (Modified code)
===========
IF :P_START IS NULL THEN
:P_START := TRUNC(SYSDATE);
END IF;
The justification for adding IF statement in BEFOREPARAMFORM trigger has been explained in the following link:

PS : One thing that I had forgotten to mention about this problem in my original post was that I was facing this problem ONLY when I call the report from Forms using Run_Report_Object method.
But if I run the report directly from the browser by entering the URL (for e.g. http://wt0001:8889/reports/rwservlet?server=my_repsrv&report=report1.rdf&desformat=pdf&destype=cache&userid=user1/pwd1@db1&paramform=yes) into the address field, the report was working fine, which means that the initial values are populated into the parameters on the parameter form and then later by changing the values in these parameters (text item), the report displays the results correctly.
So this problem was only occuring when I tried to run the report through Forms by creating the REPORT_OBJECT in the Form and using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT to generate the report and then using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT to publish the report in the browser.

I'm getting an error message after importing a table through Dreamweaver into a page developed in Muse.

I'm getting a couple of messages after importing a table through Dreamweaver into a page developed in Muse. I have compared the code of the page with the table with the page before I inserted the table and cannot find anything missing. the web address is http://gourmetdreams.com/weekly-menu.html
How can I clear this up?
I also noticed that when I uploaded the file there was one error: "- error occurred - Access denied. The file may not exist locally, may be open in another program, or there could be a local permission problem."

Thanks for your help! I imported the table into Muse, then exported the site as html and opened it in Dreamweaver. I should've tried that in the first place but gave up when I couldn't edit it in Muse. I didn't know you could edit the html right in Muse. Also, my styling and the images I was using weren't showing up in Muse but once I opened it in Dreamweaver, everything fell into place. AND I could edit it! My client needs to edit this page every week, so I needed to be sure she could do that. She doesn't use Muse but does use Dreamweaver. At this point, I think I'll leave it alone and not try to style it with inline css. Maybe when I get a little more time, I'll try it. I just don't want to mess things up now that the're working.

Distorting text/images in converting from pmd to pdf

My company uses PageMaker 7.0 to create our manuals and brochures and then converts them into pdf's. I've run into this problem before and found that if I didn't properly place or import an image (not copy and paste an image or text) that once converting it into a pdf only a portion of the image would be there or everyother 3rd letter would exist. Thought we had corrected it. The creator of this last document saw everything correctly but when another employee opened the pdf file through the network it was distorted and wrong. I opened the document and "saved as" in my documents and then everything seemed fine from my computer but then the creator opened the file on his computer and it was wrong. The link info on some of the images is wrong even though it was placed properly- the text was entered in Pagemaker but on the pdf is missing letters and causing odd spacing. I'm at a loss now on how to correct this. I hate to upgrade when pagemaker is more than sufficient for the basic manuals we do. I did notice that I was using Reader 9 wheras they still had 8 on their computers- already had them upgrade but didn't think this would be a real issue. Any ideas on the problem or how to correct would be greatly appreciated!!

Look in the application where the users are generating the PostScript.
Many of them have an option "print last page first", so this naturally
produces a backwards PDF.

Importing multiple images as inline objects

I know Indesign allows for multiple images to be placed in a grid, but is there a way to import several images straight into a story as inline frames?

After digging around in the scripting section of this forum, I managed to find a snippet of a script which replaces image names in the text with the actual image. Very useful stuff.
// reset the Find/Change dialog app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null; // formulate a grep search string app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = '@.+?@'; // find all occurrence of image names between @, last one first f = app.activeDocument.findGrep (true); for (i = 0; i < f.length; i++) { // construct file name name = f[i].contents.replace (/@/g, ''); // place the pdf and REPLACE the destination with the folder of links f[i].insertionPoints[0].place ('Insert image folder here' + name)); } // delete all @??@ codes app.activeDocument.changeGrep()

Lightroom 4, Book Module, Importing text

I want to create a poetry and photo book in Lightroom 4 and send to Blurb. How do I import text not as a caption but as a whole page? Thanks. Tim

You'll need to choose a page type that allows for text. This can be done via teh drop-down menu in bottom right corner of content are or via the Page panel (see screens hot below), then copy paste text into text space as John has suggested. Note that there are numerous page types, some text with image, others text or image only.

Have you looked at your page with images disabled?
I urge you to re-think this approach to web design because images of text are not indexed by search engines, screen readers or translators. Given the demographic group your site is targeting, you really need to ensure maximum web accessibility for all users.
Navigation, headings and descriptions all need to be in real text -- not images of text.
Ken is right. Absolute positioning is pure poison for such a simple layout. My advice is to start over with one of the pre-built Starter Pages in DW. Go to File > New > Blank page > HTML. Select a layout from the 3rd column and hit CREATE button.

Is there a way to command a button to import an image?

I was trying to build a template/form to be filled out, and had this question to see if it was possible. So far I have three fields set to input text. The last thing I am trying to do is create a button where someone might be able to import an image into a designated large boxed off area. Is this possible?

This is a current bug. Please report it via "Aperture→Send Aperture Feedback".
Just to clarify, the problem is not auto-cropping, the problem is the the crop tool aspect ratio is arbitrarily set (in my case, always to something close to the current crop aspect ratio). You can reset it (on a per-crop basis) to "Do not constrain".
It is very bothersome.
You might try trashing your prefs. Details on the Trouble-shooting page. I have had the bug return more than once.

Using Background Image In Dreamweaver

Good evening.
I'm using a non-repeating, centered background image in Dreamweaver. But i'd like it to self-adjust its size depending upon what monitor size its viewing it. Can someone provide some coding for help with this???
Here's where i'm at thus far..
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">

<link href="welcome10.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />

<body style="background-color: #000; background-position: center top; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-image: url(images/girls-bg9.jpg); background-attachment: fixed;">
<div id="wrapper">
          <div id="container">
    </div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
css -

/* CSS Document */
#wrapper{
          width: auto;
          height: 1600px;
#container {
          background-color: #FFF;
          height: 200px;
          margin-right: 100px;
          margin-left: 100px;
          margin-top: 100px;
thanks guys, and gals...

Background-size would do the trick, but keep in mind, most CSS3 does not function in IE9 (though this will), and won't at all in IE8 and down. If you need it to work in those browsers, the best way to do it would be with javascript. I've used the script available on this site with some success...
