Is it possible to remove yellow text background in the entire document?

I have the same problem as the one that is mentioned here:http://forums.adobe.com/message/1155089 In my case the yellow background is already in the pdf-file which was created with a virtual pdf printer and then manipulated with another pdf-editor.  I noticed accidentally that it is possible to remove the yellow background in Acrobat Pro as if I'd edit an object. Getting rid of it on each page by hand would be a daunting task. Is it possible to do this somehow with the entire document? All help would be much appreciated.
cheers
Btw: The yellowish background does not appear in other pdf viewers.

I'll try to describe the process but the exact numbers will depend on your document - as I said earlier when I ran a test of your file I got 3.4%, but you may not.
Your file has a mixture of color spaces (CMYK/RGB/etc.) and so you must first run the Convert Colors tool from the Print Production Panel to get everything into a consistent space, or Preflight will choke. Run the default profile to convert to the SWOP v2 profile.
Open the Output Preview tool from the Print production Panel and hover over one of the yellow areas, write down the percentage of yellow. Hopefully nothing else in the document will have the same percentage.
Now open Preflight from the Print Production Panel, switch to the Single Checks tab.
Open the Options menu, choose "Create new Preflight Check".
Name it "yellow boxes" and apply it to "Page contents" and "Current file".
Select the Colors group and pick "object uses Yellow with a percentage of..." - press ADD.
Configure it with "Equal to" and your percentage (no % sign)
Click OK, then switch to the Single Fixups tab.
Options menu > Create new Preflight Fixup
Name it "move yellow  to layer"
Choose the Layers category, "Put objects on layer" and press ADD
In the "Objects identified by a check" dropdown, select your "yellow boxes" check.
In the Layer name field, type "yellow boxes"
Click OK, then click the Fix button to run it.
You'll get a message to save/close and reopen the file.
When you do, (hopefully) all your yellow boxes will now be in their own layer.
Open the layers navigator on the left side of Acrobat's window and turn off the eyeball for that layer.

  • Selecting just text fields throughout the entire document when editing forms in Acrobat Pro XI

    I edit PDF's all day and it is seriously time consuming to edit the properties of text fields when you can only select a few at a time due to other elements (checkboxes, radio buttons etc.) prohibiting you from simply "Selecting All" elements and editing them all at once. I do not want to change the Appearance properties of all elements, just all of one type throughout the document. Is there a way to do this?
    Long story short I would like to just edit all text fields at once, then all checkboxes at once etc.
    Thanks for you time!
    Sean

    In the form edit mode, one can order the display of the fields by "name" or "tab order".
    If I sort the fields by name order and then use the control key and left mouse button, I can select various field names and the right mouse click brings up the context menu and I can then select the "Properties" option and I now have the 5 tabs for the common properties for the selected fields. I believe using the control key and the left mouse button is the usual method for selecting specific items in a  window listing.

  • Is it possible to remove my hard drive from the Macbook and install it in a new Macbook Pro?

    I currently have a 2009 Macbook and am wanting to upgrade to a new Macbook Pro.  I have upgraded my hard drive in the macbook to a 500gb and have a duel boot with Windows 7 installed with Boot Camp along with other software that I do not want to lose.  Is it possible to remove my hard drive from the Macbook and install it in a new Macbook Pro?

    A much better solution is to hook your two Mac together and the first time you start the new Mac and it asks if you wish to recover data from another Mac, answer yes. This will invoke Setup Assitant which will do the job for you but intelligently.
    I know because I just used Setup Assitant. It worked like  a charm.

  • Is it possible to send a text message using the UDP protocol?

    Support doc
    http://www.adobe.com/support/director/multiuser/using_udp/using_udp02.html
    says to use the following format with connectToNetServer:
    errCode =
    gMultiuserInstance.connectToNetServer([#remoteAddress:
    "chatServer.myCompany.com", #logonInfo: [#userID: "Bob",
    #password:
    "MySecret", #movieID: "Tech Chat"], #mode: #smus,
    #localUDPPort: 1627,
    #localAddress: "123.45.67.89", #remoteTCPPort: 1626])
    But if I change the mode to #text, it still sends out
    messages as smus.
    In fact, if I leave out the UDP parameters altogether but
    still use the
    list parameters for connectToNetServer, it still always sends
    as smus.
    Sends as smus:
    errCode =
    gMultiuserInstance.connectToNetServer([#remoteAddress:
    "chatServer.myCompany.com", #logonInfo: [#userID: "Bob",
    #password:
    "MySecret", #movieID: "Tech Chat"], #mode: #text,
    #localUDPPort: 1627,
    #localAddress: "123.45.67.89", #remoteTCPPort: 1626])
    Sends as smus:
    errCode =
    gMultiuserInstance.connectToNetServer([#remoteAddress:
    "chatServer.myCompany.com", #logonInfo: [#userID: "Bob",
    #password:
    "MySecret", #movieID: "Tech Chat"], #mode: #text])
    Only the string parameter method can be made to send text
    messages.
    Sends as text:
    errCode = gMultiuserInstance.connectToNetServer("Bob",
    "MySecret",
    "chatServer.myCompany.com", 1626, "Tech Chat", 1)
    Am I missing something? Is this a known issue? Anyone have a
    work around?

  • Is it possible to use NUMCHARS to display the number of characters in a block of text instead of the whole document? How?

    Is it possible to use NUMCHARS to display the number of characters in a block of text instead of the whole document? How?

    Getting the character count for a paragraph is trivial:
    Sub NumChars1()
    MsgBox Selection.Paragraphs(1).Range.Characters.Count
    End Sub
    Even outputting it to the document is trivial:
    Sub NumChars2()
    With Selection.Paragraphs(1)
      .Range.InsertAfter .Range.Characters.Count
    End With
    End Sub
    The real issue comes when you want to update the document. If the destination paragraph is only ever empty or contains the character count of the previous paragraph, you could use:
    Sub NumChars3()
    With Selection.Paragraphs(1)
      .Next.Range.Text = .Range.Characters.Count & vbCr
    End With
    End Sub

  • HELP!  I saved a document.  Copied the document.  Went to delete some extra characters.  Accidentally deleted the entire document.  Now I can't find my document.  When I open the saved document, the page is blank.  Does Pages save copied text anywhere?

    I saved a document.  Copied the document.  Went to delete some extra characters and accidentally deleted the text of the entire document.  I did not save a blank page.  I cannot recover the lost text.  Please Help.  I'm NEW to Pages. 

    Hi Jan,
    Copied text (or other copied material) is on the Clipboard, but only until you copy something else or log out of your account. If you act before doing another copy, you can paste the copied material back into the document. If you don't act right away, you may still have a path back.
    One of the most useful keystroke combinations on the Mac is the "Oops! key," as a friend of mine once named it. That's command-Z, also known as "Undo". In some applications it will let you undo only a single step, but in others, including Pages, you can do repeated undos, so it's not quite so essential that you act immediately on making an error. Undo, done via the Oops! key, or via the Edit menu takes you back one change at a time. You can't skip any steps, so to get back to the state before the accidental deletion, you'll have to undo any work you've done since then. The memory of what to Undo disappears when you close the document or quit the application.
    At that point you're at the mercy of your backup plan. If you've had Time Machine running, you'll be able to enter Time Machine and go back to an earlier, saved version of the file.
    All these are in addition to the steps Ian suggested above.
    Regards,
    Barry
    PS: Best piece of advice I can give a new Pages user (beyond Backup early and often) is to download and read through the first few chapters of the Pages '09 User Guide, available through the Help menu in Pages '09. Mostly pretty easy reading, and will get you through the basics without much trouble.

  • IDCS3 When adding a document to a book, the text frame of the subsequent documents in the book moves

    Hi
    I've been working on a 700 or so book containing about 115 documents. These book's documents consist of a main text frame and I've been adding them gradually to the book document. The problem is whenever I add a document to the book or change the order of the documents, the main text frame of the subsequent documents in the book moves on its x axis even when it is locked. To correct the problem I've been moving them to their original place manually but this is a real chaos. Moreover I've noticed that not every text frame in a document moves but most of them does. I don't know what is causing the problem so either don't know how to solve it. I would like to prevent this from happening again cause I've got to add more documents to the book. Can anybody help?

  • Is it possible to remove a computer assigned to the ipod ?

    Hi,
    I have an ipod for 3 years now, and i've had 4 different computers since the beginning. I remember that you can connect the same ipod to 5 different computers. I'm actually gonna buy a new computer, a mac. Since it's gonna be the 5th computer to be connected to my ipod, I was wondering if it's possible to remove one of the computer peviously connected to my ipod, that it's not needed anymore ..
    Thank you.

    I remember that you can connect the same ipod to 5 different computers.
    No, you're misremembering or have misunderstood. An iPod touch can only be connected to one computer (or more accurately one iTunes library) at a time. You can only authorize up to five computers to a given iTunes Store account, and that's probably what you're thinking of. If you are going to sync your iPod to this fifth computer, then you do have to authorize the computer to the iTunes Store account through which you've purchased your apps and content, but if you've only previously authorized four computers, there shouldn't be a problem.
    Regards.

  • It´s possible to make different page sizes in the same document?

    hi there familiy,
    I´m just learning InDesign (wich it´s fantastic) on line, and i ´d like to know how is possible to change 1 or few pages inside one document o make a flap (for example)? . But I want them to continue facing, to control de design. I know i could do it in different documents, and then mounted in pdf o whatever, but i supossed it´s possible...
    Any help?, thanks in advance, sorry for my english, i´m learnig also!,
    cheers,
    nando

    If the goal is to make a flap, then you can do this in InDesign. A spread can be any contiguous number of pages, so if your document is generally speaking double-page spreads, you can have a single spread that is composed of three contiguous pages.
    To do this, in the Pages palette, select a double-page spread you want to expand. Go to the flyout menu and deselect "Allow selected spread to shuffle." Then drag new page to the left of the left page or to the right of the right page (depending on where your flap is).
    Then you're all set.
    Here's a screenshot of the Pages panel:
    In this case, I've created a flap to the right of page 3 (numbered page a) and its reverse to the left of page 4 (numbered page b).

  • Is it possible to hyperlink to another part of the same document?

    I'm trying to get a text box hyperlinked to a page further along in the same document but as far as I can tell, LiveCycle only hyperlinks to web pages, documents, or email addersses. Does anyone know of another way to do this?

    Consider paging
    xfa.host.pageDown();
    xfa.host.pageUp();
    or setting focus to a field on a page
    xfa.host.setFocus("field");

  • How can I use an image as background for the entire page?

    With CSS mill, the solid color was defined in the color.X.property file and there is no place to define an image to use as the background? Is it doable to use an image as the background for teh entire page? If so, where to add it and how to implement? Thank you!
    Hao Pan ([email protected])

    While I have been able to add the image to a JLabel and insert it into frames, so that it looks like a suitable background, I have found it impossible to place any other component over the top of said imageDid you set a layout manager for the label?
    Check out the [Background Panel|http://www.camick.com/java/blog.html?name=background-panel] for two different solutions depending on your exact requirement.

  • I cant text flow using 3 different text files on the same document?????

    Im starting out with 3 different files of text saved as "tab delimited text" from excel, I open a document in ID with 107 pages and create 3 boxes in the master on top of a pdf. I then override all 107 pages so that the text I insert will flow to the next page and so on, once I paste the 2nd text file into the next text frame it skips the original 107 files and starts flowing into new pages. Im ready to pull my hair out, I have been trying to figure this out for 2 hours. I dont know what to do at this point. I think Im getting a migraine.
    I would have done a data merge on 2 of the files but the third HAS to be text flow (which gives me the same problem above) because it has to be physically changed to fit each page.

    Are you Placing the text from an external file, or pasting it from the clipboard?
    If Placing, move the loaded cursor inside one of the master frames on the first page, hold down the Shift key and click, being sure the cursor is not on any sort of guide. The entire text file will flow using the master text frames, and ID will add all the require pages to place all the text.
    If pasting, you can either override the frame on the first page only, or make a temporary first frame on the pasteboard. Paste into this frame, which will result in a red plus sign in the bottom right corner of the text frame indicating overset text. Switch to the Selection tool (black arrow) and click on the plus sign to pick up the overset text. Hover the new loaded cursor over the frame on the second page, or over the first page as above if you used a temporary frame, hodl the Shift key and click. Delete the temporary frame, if you used one, and the text will reflow to start in the first real frame, but you may have to pick up overset again in the last frame due to the reflow.

  • Is it possible to remove TV shows completely with the new ios7 from my iPod Touch? If so, how?

    My sister has a variety of uses for her iPod touch whereas I don't.

  • Is it possible to remove a crash report from the server?

    I clicked on the Crash Reporter button thinking that it would let me review the report before it was sent out. Unfortunately, all it did was send the report. I do not want that report on the server and I would like to have it removed but I do not know how to go about this.
    OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (SP1)
    FF: 17.0.1

    There is no personal Information on a crash Report unless you put something personally identifiable in the comment field. For example, here is a crash report I had on my machine awhile back: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-1de8924f-7068-4702-a410-89c492121220.
    You can go to about:crashes in your address bar, and click on the report to view the info there to satisfy yourself that there is nothing in the report. But submitting crash reports is very useful because it gives us the ability to view what crashes are plaguing our users and what we need to fix.
