Line on top of text box

I got a nice photo book printed out but on top of any page with a long text box there is a horizontal line atop the heading for that text panel.... I thought it was just a visual anomoly in the app but it actually PRINTED that way and now I've got a book with weird elements all over the place (see attached).

Interesting. Indeed, it relies less heavily on internals, so should be more portable across versions.
The drawback is the "whole container painting" side, so one might need to crop the image to the wanted portion, which is a minor issue.
I hope JavaFX will offer some day a fromFXNode() function, to avoid any hack. And it was [proved it might accelerate a script|http://piliq.com/javafx/?p=1108] to use an image out of lot of nodes instead of trying to manipulate all the nodes, so it is useful beyond saving/transmitting the image.

Need a CS2 workaround - Add space for line at top of text box

I need a way to add space before a line of text (it's a subheading kind of thing) which is the fist line in the text box, since "space before" in paragraph styles doesn't work for this. I'm stuck using CS2 at work, but I made the layout on CS4 at home that uses a workaround involving 0pt rules offset and the Keep in Frame option. This feature is not in CS2 (ugh).
Any help is appreciated.

A yucky way of pulling this off without CS3's (and later) "Keep Above Rule in Frame" could be to set the leading extra large. The default Baseline options for text frames is to ignore leading, but you can change it to use the leading. A drawback is that also impacts your regular text ...
How about an even yuckier trick?
1. Make the font extra extra large. InDesign ignores super-extra-big leading by default, but it does honor text size. To be precise: the text size that's in the character panel size box (this is important!). If you make the font extra extra large, this is the size that's going to be used.
2. Now you have large text ... so scale it back down using the Horizontal and Vertical scale in the Advanced Character Formats. If you made the text twice as large, use 50% / 50% to scale it back.
3. Done.
I said it would be yuckie.

Adobe X Standard - Top Aligned Text Box

I am trying to create a form that allows the body of a letter to be placed within an Adobe Form. The body of the letter can cover upto about 70% of that page. Obviously I am trying to do this via a text box but how do I get the text to start at the top of the page. It seems to want to start half way down the page.
How do I set the alignment to the start at the top and work down???
Thanks

Set the "multi-line" option of the text box.

Hit "Save as Adobe pdf" and pic came out on top of text box.

Hope to hear from you.

Top of text box moves up when typing new text exceeds box width.

Using iWork 09 I set a text box on a master and mark it as Format/Advanced/Define as text placeholder. In the Text Inspector, I set parameters as left justified, align text to bottom, line spacing = 1, and other numerical parameters to 0. Then, on a new slide using this master, the top of the text box moves up to accommodate additional text and it would be seem more natural for the bottom of the box to extend DOWN instead. What am I missig here?

it would be seem more natural for the bottom of the box to extend DOWN instead. What am I missig here?
No it wouldnt. If you understand that, align to bottom, fixes the last character in the bottom line to the bottom right hand corner of the text box, the text then flows from that corner as you add extra text.
You cant have align to bottom and have the text flow from the top, you need to choose between the three options.
If you want to add extra lines without the box moving; use align to top.
If you want to align the text to the bottom of the box; use align to bottom.
I set parameters as left justified,
There is no such thing as left justified. You need to choose between justified or left align, these are two different alignment methods, text is either left aligned, right aligned or justified, not a combination of them.

Image on top of text box issue

I'm attempting to create my own message window that will appear when a text box is full. I have script in the "full" section of the text box that makes the presence of the image and a few text boxes visible when full. In design view, I have placed the image on top of the text box. However, during testing, when the text box is full, the image appears but the text from the text box below also appears on top of the image. I have tried to setFocus to the image as well, but this didn't help.
What's odd is that if I navigate to a different page and then navigate back, the image appears correctly.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Thank you very much. I didn't even know how to look up the solution.
Now I understand what those buttons do and their usefulness.

InDesign unpredictable spacing on top of text box.

Hello everyone. I have quite a frustrating problem that I'm assuming is an easy fix. InDesign is creating this empty space on top of my textbox depending where i place the box. In this case, I found the exact pixel position where when I move the box one px upward, it removes the space, but when I move it back down it adds the space. Any ideas what setting that might be and why is that useful? Right now it's only frustrating.
Note: This text is linked to another text box and nothing seems to change on the preceding text when this one has that space created.

Thank you very much. I didn't even know how to look up the solution.

How to interpret Line Returns in a text box

Hello,
I have a text file that contains several sentences that are tab delimited:
For Example:
The cat sat on the mat.   The dog sat on the cat.   [Where the two sentences are delimited]
My first objective is to read these two statements into two separate text boxes… and I can do this.
My second objective is to add a line return to each statement so that when in their respective text boxes they will appear as:
The cat sat                    The dog sat
on the mat.                    on the cat.
I don’t know how to do this. Any ideas…? Ideally I want to insert something like “/n” into the sentence so that LabVIEW can interpret it as a new/return line command when it outputs it to the text box.
Kind regards,

Here's one possible solution (note the string format display settings, LV 2010).
I use an array for the output for simplicity. You can index individual elements if really needed.
First we create an array of sentences (tab is delimiter).
Then, for each sentence, we create an array of words (space delimiter)
We reshape the array of words to two rows (pad if the number of words is odd).
We form the two line sentence using array to spreadsheet string with space as delimiter.
LabVIEW Champion . Do more with less code and in less time .

Thick blue stroke line around object and text boxes

After I unlock and ungroup, there is a thick blue stroke around text and object boxes. Does anyone know what this is and how to get rid of it? Thanks!

Click with the selection tool on that object. The blue line will go away.
Meanwhile, it's there to let you choose a "key object" around which you can align objects.

Acrobat Pro 9, blank lines in text boxes vanish upon save

Folks,
Since I upgraded from Acrobat Pro 8 to 9, whenever I put blank lines in a text box, the blank lines disappear as soon as the PDF is saved.
Here's an example:
- Open a PDF file
- Click on text box tool in the toolbar (or from menu Comments->Comments and markup Tool->Text box tool
- Draw a box on the PDF page somewhere
- Enter "First line", then hit Return twice to add a blank line below, enter "Second line"
- Right now my text box contains two lines of text separated by a blank line
- Hit save
- Blank line vanishes in the text box. Now the two text lines are on adjacent rows.
This did not happen in either Acrobat Pro 7 or 8. I've been using textboxes consistently for years without this silly behavior.
Any suggestions? I've looked through forums and knowledge bases and such to no avail.
I have acrobat pro version 9.0.0 running on XPSP3.
Thanks!
Petros

Hello Petros,
I figured out how to make this work, at least on my computer. Hold CTRL key and hit ENTER. This leaves the space. Hope this works for you.

I am unable to print the full content of a text box within a PDF that was emailed to me - help!

I open the pdf in Adobe Reader, and can see all of the content on screen by scrolling within the text boxes. But, because the content is "bigger" than the text box in some cases, when I print the pdf, the text gets truncated. Can I print in a way that allows me to see all text that the user entered?
Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Search Text Box

I have a deliverable to display text in the search text box of the Top Bar view. When the user clicks the box to enter a search term, the initial string should be cleared allowing the user to type their term and perform a successful search. Here is the code I've tried but it doesn't work. The first line correctly sets the text box value to "Search Entire Portal". The second line is to clear the value when the text box is onFocus but this never happens, the initial string is still visible. Can anyone help?
textBox.SetValue("Search Entire Portal");
textBox.SetOnFocus("textBox.SetValue('');");

Hi Elyssa,
There are two problems here, one on your side and one on ours. The first problem is that in your SetOnFocus call, you use "textBox.SetValue('');" as the JavaScript code to execute. At runtime, the JavaScript doesn't know what "textBox" or "SetValue" are - these are Plumtree objects that are used to create the HTML source. What you need to use are JavaScript/DHTML/DOM methods. Instead of referring to "textBox", you can identify the HTML on the page by using it's id attribute. And instead of using "SetValue", you can use the standard "value" method. In this case, the id was created for you when the textBox was created:
HTMLInput textBox = new HTMLInput(HTMLInputTypes.TEXT, factory.GetInputBoxName(), "");
Given the id of the HTMLElement, you could do the following:
textBox.SetValue("Search Entire Portal"); textBox.SetOnFocus(factory.GetInputBoxName() + ".value='';");
I mentioned that there were two problems, however. The second problem is that our implementation of SetOnFocus has a bug in which it is not being written out to HTML. There are some options around this. If SetOnClick is enough, this works:
textBox.SetValue("Search Entire Portal"); textBox.SetOnClick(factory.GetInputBoxName() + ".value='';");
If the onclick event doesn't suit your needs, there is one way around this, though it's not very elegent. You can get the DisplayString from the textBox, modify this string by adding the onfocus="inputXXX.value='';" attribute, and then creating an HTMLGenericElement from this new string. You would then add this HTMLGenericElement to your cell instead of the textBox element.
Hope that helps!

Coordinate Text Box Size

I have a set of pairs of text boxes (one for medication name, one for that medication's dose). If the user enters text on multiple lines in a given text box, the text box expands to accomodate.
However, the corresponding text box in the pair does not expand.
How can I ensure that each pair of text boxes always retain the same height?

That's probably a sound solution, but let me throw a wrench in there: I have a really large form that uses positioned cells. Is there any way to automate the conversion of groups of cells to a table, such that I don't have to build the whole thing from scratch (which would take hours and hours and hours)?
I should mention that the form is derived from a microsoft word document, which did use tables, but I'd rather not go through the importation process again if I can help it.
Thanks for the help

Text box alignment problem

Every time I create a new text box in an exsiting file, the text in a text box moves. the text alighment button is pressed EG: align to top of text box, Middle or bottom. but everytime I move the text box, the text will then move with in it. I turned off all text wraps and ticked suppress any text wrap in hidden layers (even when this is not ticked) nothing changes, The text still moves around inside the box. I am quite sure that this is not suppose to happen, especially if I ticked for it to be align in the centre of the text box.
Can someone help me please.

Thank you so much. It's been bugging me for ages.

Text box in pages has blue tabs - how to undo these? and what is 'floating

how can i get the blue tabs to go away? what is floating text?
deb

You can use Shapes to write in but then you have to change the fill and line colour. The text boxes blue tabs doesn't show when printing and there are for letting text flow. you can have one box on pages 1 and connect it to a text box on page for and the text will flow over to the box on page 4 if there is enough text. Just like in the magazines, more folloews on page 4.
