Links generated by Word Adobe plug-in are too large
Surprise me...by helping me to come up with a solution to this obscure, but very annoying, issue.
Our company recently moved from Office 2003 to 2010 and from Acrobat Pro 9 to X. We are still using Windows XP. Our standard process involves generating PDFs with internal links via an Adobe plug-in to Word--elements such as cross references and TOCs generated in Word are turned into PDF links via Distiller (not a server install).
The problem is that the links that are created using all this upgraded software are "larger" than they used to be. They encompass more than just the letters of the cross reference and often include punctuation that follows, such as periods and closing parens. This means that when we continue with our process of turning linked text blue, characters turn blue that should be black. The old setup did not do this.
Is there any way to adjust the margins/buffer/link size so that the links that are created are tighter around the linked text? Is there another way to address this? Adjusting each link of a large document is unsustainable, but leaving these characters blue is unacceptable.
Your help is appreciated!
Thanks very much for your reply.
I was hoping there would be some tweak I could make to the settings of Distiller or maybe some registry tweaks to change the link rectangle buffer size prior to the creation of the PDF links from the Word document. I understand that the links are just "rectangles on the page" once they exist in the PDF document--but even a script to decrease the size of all of the links in all directions after rendering the PDF would be helpful, since the increase in size seems to be in all directions.
I suppose I can export the links to a spreadsheet and create a formula to decrease the link measurements by a specified amount and then re-import them.
I wonder what caused the change.
Here is a screenshot of the difference if it helps at all. It's at two different magnifications, but you can still see that the period is included in one and not in the other. And the link box is larger in all directions.
Thanks again.

Error formatting page : Page Area too large
Hello,
I use Crystal Reports X1 for my reports design and my report was generated successfully. I also use JRC to generate the report in my Java application and I get this error. "Error formatting page : Page Area too large" for the same report.
Could you please help me with this error.
Many thanks
MarilynHi,
Please provide the environment details along with the web browser version information.
Before that my suggestion is to upgrade to CR 2008 as XI is out of support and also you can download lestest version of CR Java SDK's from below link
http://www.businessobjects.com/campaigns/forms/downloads/crystal/eclipse/datasave.asp
on this page select the link below Runtime Libraries.

When I open Firefox (Firefox is updated to its latest version) both the text and the graphics are too large. I've tried zooming in and out features, but the texts become unreadable.
CTRL+0 (<--that is a zero) will reset your zoom level on affected pages. Firefox remembers the zoom level you last used on a page.<br />
See Firefox built-in Zoom functions:
*http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Page+Zoom
*http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Text+Zoom
If that does not fix the problem, you can try renaming the file (''with Firefox closed; Firefox button > Exit or File > Exit'') '''''content-prefs.sqlite''''' to content-prefs.sqlite.old (or delete the file) in the Profile Folder to reset the page zoom on all sites. That file will be re-created when you restart Firefox.

Form fields appear normal on my computer, but are too large on client's computer
I recently created a fillable PDF using Acrobat Pro for a client. I have done this many times before, and never had any issues with formatting. On my computer, the fields appear perfect, but on the client's computer they are too large and obscure the surrounding text. Please see the first screenshot for reference. Notice the large white form field on the left side. He has viewed the document both on a Mac (in Preview) and on a PC (Acrobat Reader) and had the same problem. The following is a screenshot of the same file on my computer:
On my computer, the name field appears to fill normally. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening, and what I can do to fix it?
Thanks!
JeanneThat person is using Preview and not Adobe Reader or Acrobat. Preview's support for PDF forms is dismal and it should not be used. It actually corrupts PDF forms (and other PDFs) in a number of ways, so that particular file should not be used again. If they don't want to install Reader, there's not much you can do.

I keep getting an Error Message when Previewing a page that has the Feature News Composition Widget. The Message says that the locations are too large to Rasterize and I need to make it smaller in size. I tried all of this burt nothing worked.
Hi Zak,
Many thanks for your 'correct' and prompt answer. I tried to make it CORRECT on the Forum, but after clicking the link, did not know where to go since this is my first time using this forum.
As it turned out, I was indeed using the font (Georgia) but did not realize that this particular font can also be used as a System font as well. So I chose the wrong Georgia font which was the System font. I corrected this issue throughout and made doubly sure that I used the Web Font Georgia.
Many thanks again for your help and assistance.

VBScript - Identifying Rows that are too large for a page
I am trying to write a VBScript that will identify rows that are too large to fit on a page.
So far I have:
Sub IfRowIsTooBigBreakAcrossPage()
'Use to track number of tables in the document
Dim t As Integer
'Use to track number of rows in a Table
Dim r As Integer
'Get the number of tables in the document
t = ActiveDocument.Tables.Count
For i = 1 To t
'Get the number of rows in a table
r = ActiveDocument.Tables(i).Rows.Count
For n = 1 to r
If ActiveDocument.Tables(i).Rows(n).Height > 6 Then
Active Document.Tables(i).Rows(n).AllowBreakAcrossPages = True
End If
Next
Next
End Sub
I am having a hard time just getting this to run. This is meant to run on tables that have been exported from IBM Doors. I'm not sure if that [having been exported from Doors] is the issue or if I'm just missing something when it comes to the
Rows attributes.
Any help is appreciated!Hi David,
I'm afraid that it is not the correct forum about this issue, since this forum is to discuss Visual Basic.
For some reason, I can't help you to move this case to Scripting forum, please feel free to open a new thread in that forum for better response:

Since the latest version of itunes, my playlists are too large to fit on the screen. The left side, with all my playlists is still there, but I can no longer scroll down the chosen playlist as the far right is no longer accessible. Any suggestions on how to minimize the list? Thanks.
I have the same problem on the latest iTunes software and Windows 7. My window is maximzed and I do not see any tab for photos. Seems related to a recent update (IOS7?) as this was there - at least before the very big change to the interface.

Cannot Convert PDF to Word because the "document is too large". What can I do?
I am trying to convert a document to word from PDF, but acrobat.com keeps returning a message that the 'document is too large'. What are some our options?
What's the size of the source doc? ExportPDF conversions are limited to 100 MB.

Can I downsize my pics as they are too large to email several at a time and take up too much space
I want to make slideshows or powerpoints that I can email. My pics are so large 4 MB and up, i would like to downsize them closer to 600 KB ...can i do that on I Photo?
Simply, sharing video via email is not advisable.
Many email services have an attachment limit of 20mb and some a limit of 10mb. As emails are sent through an array of relays, the effective limit is the smallest file size allowed on any of the relays. That means that video is rarely suitable for emailing.
Then there's the whole issue of Codecs and not all machines will have the codecs to play all videos. Plus, folks with slower connections can find it very inconvenient to download large video files.
Finally, sharing video from iPhoto via email is not supported. All that gets you is the Movie thumbnail. If you feel you must share via email then you'll need to export the video first, and attach that. Use the File -> Export command and set the kind to Original.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
Other than that your options include:
Upload it to a sharing site like YouTube or Vimeo and email a link - these will allow the recipient to view the material online. That will avoid the codec issues mentions, and the person can still download the video file if they wish.
Upload it to sharing services like Dropbox or YouSendIt and email a link. This will require that they download the material to their machines to view.

I have the latest iPad update on my Ipad 3 as of September 23, 2012.
I havejust taken a series of photographs with my iPad that I would like to share with family and specific friends ONLY. I have set up the photos I want to share in Photo Stream. I have synced them to my PC via iCloud. Everything is fine except, the pictures are far too large to share ... and I don't know what exactly I am supposed to do in order to give my family access to these Photo Stream pictures.
How do I reduce the size of photo stream pictures once they are on my PC via iCloud?
What exactly do I do to give access to the photos on Photo Stream to specific people?
How can I share the videos I have taken with my iPad?
Many thanks for your attention. I look forward to your reply.Select your photo/s.
File menu > Export..
Kind: JPEG
JPEG Quality: Maximum
Include: [√] Title and keywords
[√] Location information
Size: Full Size
File Name: Use filename
Select one of the photos and open in with Preview.
Tools menu > Show Inspector
Under the second button choose IPTC and it is all there.
Sorry for all the confusion.

How to back up my imovie project, clips are too large
I am using iMovie HD 5.02, and I have a video clip imported as one clip only. The problem is the clip is 9gb and obviously that cannot be saved as archive on normal dvd.
How can I split this into smaller clips so that I can save it on two dvd's as archive file.
I have tried archive from within the program and it is too large of a file.
ThanksHi Jeff,
the cat gave you all hints needed, just to add my c€nts:
tape is better then dvd-rs! I mentioned my experiment here often: place a dvd-r in bright sunlight for ~5min - all data gone, nirvana, wooshaway.... mini-DV is much more robust compared to that.
to backup data larger then 4.4GB you should think of socalled "data spanning", tools as Toast7 are able to do so, it will chop bigger files into smaller parts, will ask for more dvd-rs and is able to recover such files back into one single one...
best practice is indeed a second drive, which offers as a sideeffect best convenience => instant access to data from within iM.... -
The icons on the screen of my laptop are too large. How can I make them smaller. I have right
the icons on the screen of my laptop are much too large. I don't know how they got that way. I want them to return to the smaller ones. I have right clicked on the desktop and clicked on making icons and other things smaller. this made the items on the bar at the bottom much smaller but did nothing for the icons all over the screen. What else can I do. I am using Windows 7 HP pavillion dv7 notebook
Hi,
Left click on an empty area of the Desktop to ensure it's the active window, then hold down the Ctrl key and use the scroll area of the Touchpad to adjust the size.

Conversions in Adobe Media Converter are too short
I've been trying to convert dvd videos to wmv's. Every video I try only shows that it's length is under 10 seconds, even though each video is from 5 to 10 minutes long. Why is it only converting 10 seconds of a 5 minute video?
Please tell us more about the source content. Are they from your own project? Did you rip them from a DVD?
Are you importing the DVD videos directly into AME, or are they in Premiere sequences that you're exporting to AME? If the former, have you tried opening the clips in PPRO to see whether that app sees their full length? If the latter, do you have a work area defined?
Also, what version of AME do you have, and are you working on Windows or Mac? -
