Method of identifying variables within a document

I'm in the process of writing a standardised specification document.
Invariably we refer to drawing numbers throughout the document, however these drawing numbers change with each project.
I'd like to highlight/identify these somehow so that when a different author comes along and edits the document to suit their project they can easily identify these variables and change them. But I want to do this without the end-reader noticing.
Does Pages provide some way of doing this?

No, sorry, I obviously haven't explained myself well.
I'm not after the ability to change the formatting of the text and I'm not after the ability to change all instances at once.
What I want is to highlight bits of text in the document so it's easy for someone (another editor) to recognise which bits of text need to be changed in order to be specific to their project. But I want to highlight this text without the highlight printing out.

  • How do I identify what is using a color within a document?

    I am working with two other "designers" and am having to set up complicated art files for press. The "add all used color options" brings up several swatches that are being used within the documents. Unfortunately neither one of these designers are print savvy and have used multiple builds of the same color and some are PMS spot; some are CMYK spot; some are CMYK process; some are RGB and still others are LAB. Its a mess. I need to identify what objects/type are using a particular color so I can correct for press. There is a great option for this in InDesign but how do I do this in Illustrator?

    Window >> Seperations Preview
    Turn on Overprint Preview
    Then option click on a color's eyeball to solo that color only, repeat option click on same eyeball to show all again
    CMYK works as a group with the option click, so you can solo and show only what is in 4/c or spot easily
    One of he best interfaces Adobe put together from a usability standpoint.

  • Open Data Object -  Open File attachment within pdf document

    I am trying to build a script which will open file attachments embedded in a pdf document.
    I have used the following javascript to list all embedded files within a document so I can retrieve the name
    var d = this.dataObjects;
    for (var i = 0; i < d.length; i++)
    console.println("Data Object[" + i + "]=" + d[i].name);
    The console reported:
    Data Object[0]=MTP-300-X-1210_A.pdf
    Data Object[1]=MTP-300-X-1240_A.pdf
    I then used the following script to open the file     
    this.openDataObject("MTP-300-X-1210_A.pdf");
    Console reports back as follows and does not open the file:
    [object Doc]
    Can anyone please offer assistance in how to open an embedded pdf attachment within a document?
    Many thanks!

    Hi George,
    I have used the same method app.openDoc to open attachments using a path associated with my computer.  However, as you know, the method does not work if the pdf containing the attachment is located on a different computer.  The app.openDoc method throws an error becuase the path is not valid.
    I am trying to get the following code to work with no success:
    var cFilePath = "|" + this.path + "|U:photo.pdf"';   // photo.pdf is the attachment
    app.openDoc ({cPath: cFilePath});
    The debugger throws an error.
    However, if I take the content of the variable cFilepath and instert it as an argument within cPath parameter as a string literal, the app.openDoc method returns the docObject.
    What's going on here?  shouldn't the variable cFilePath work?  Or do I need to specify a data type for the variable?  Any thoughts would be helpful.  I am using Windows 7, Adobe Acrobat X Standard.

  • Is there a way to create a link within a document that will pull text from the document and open it up in a separate text box within the document?

    I am trying to link sections of an form within a PDF back to instructions within the same PDF document.  Instead of having this jump back to the page within the document I would like for it to pull up the identified text within a separate pop-up text box on the same page where the form lives.  Is this possible?

    Hi gwebster,
    Instead of linking back to the instructions page, may be you can use tool tips or comments so that the instructions can be seen besides the text.

  • Problem accessing function within my Document Class

    Hi there,
    I have a Document Class which dynamically adds a MovieClip to
    my FLA. The MovieClip is in the FLA library and has "Export for
    ActionScript" setup for it and this is how I'm accessing the
    MovieClip from my Document Class.
    The problem is that when the MovieClip is finished (it has a
    timeline animation and a stop() method applied to the last frame of
    the animation) I want it to call a function that is placed within
    my Document Class, but simply calling the function (e.g.
    displayEnterButton();) is displaying an error of....
    1180: Call to a possibly undefined method
    displayEnterButton.
    Can anyone help here, I'm sure it's a simple issue to
    resolve.
    Many thanks!
    Kind regards,
    M.

    Hi,
    I've managed a work around to this.
    Basically, in my Document Class after the code that adds the
    MovieClip to the Display List, I then setup a Timer that called a
    function every 100 milliseconds. This function would then check the
    current frame of the loaded MovieClip. If the current frame of the
    MovieClip was equal to the last frame of the MovieClip then I would
    know the animation had finished and would call the next function I
    needed.
    I've pasted the code below in case anyone was interested....

  • How do I use a variable within a sql statement

    I am trying to use a local variable within an open SQL step but I keep getting an error.
    My sql command looks like this "SELECT BoardDetailID FROM BoardDetails WHERE SerialNumber = " +  locals.CurrentSerialNo
    If I replace the locals.CurrentSerialNo with an actual value such as below the statement works fine.
    "SELECT BoardDetailID FROM BoardDetails WHERE SerialNumber = " +  " 'ABC001' " 
    Can someone tell me how to correctly format the statement to use a variable?

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply. I have changed the required variable to a string, but with no success. I have reattached my updated sequence file and an image of the error.
    When looking at the Data operation step I see that the sql statement is missing everything after the last quotation mark.
    Thanks again,
    Stuart

  • How can I create a sub-folder within my "Documents" folder?

    How can I create a sub-folder within my "Documents" folder? I have many similar documents that I want to group together. This will also un-clutter my Documents folder.

    Also, you can add a New Folder button to the Finder's toolbar by opening Finder, going to the View menu in the menubar, selecting Customize Toolbar..., and dragging the New Folder icon to the toolbar in the Finder window. Then it's just one-click for new folders wherever you want them.

  • How to Set and Use a global variable within a session?

    Dear All,
    I'm new to jsp, and would like to ask how to set and use a global variable within a session?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,

    With session.setAttribute("name",object) you can store a Attribute in the session object.
    with session.getAttribute("name") you can get it.
    That's it.

    When I try to reorder different pages it just takes all the pages within the document and turns them into a stack! Why is this happening and how can I oder pages as the update is meant to let me?
    Any Help?I know the update has only been out a while but if anyone has an idea why it is doing this, please let me know!

    But you are telling me something I already know.
    Be precise.
    It is not Pages '09 that is broken.
    I am back in Mavericks and testing Pages 5.2.
    There are improvements, we shall see how useful, but in less than a minute I have already discovered bugs.

  • How to keep an image "in place" within a document using Pages?

    Here's what I want solved. When I position an image (like a jPeg photo) within a document I take a great amount of care as to how it looks in the layout. BUT, if I add a new line of text ABOVE the image, all the text moves, but the image stays in place. When the text above moves down, any kind of "art direction" is lost.
    Yes, I know there is a way to "LOCK" the image, but that doesn't solve this issue. The formatting still moves all the text and the image is stuck, LOCKED or UN-LOCKED.
    I want to know if there is a way to KEEP THE IMAGE in place within the text. I want to be able to edit above the image and not have the headache of needing to move the image every single time I change something above it.
    Does this make sense?
    I have to assume there is a way to do this, I just haven't figured it out.
    I am using Pages 09.
    thanks,
    Mike C

    (a little bit more)
    This text below is from the Pages help menu, but (sadly) This does NOT solve my problems.
    Locking and Unlocking Floating Objects
    You can lock floating objects to avoid inadvertently moving them as you work. Inline objects cannot be grouped or locked.
    After you lock individual or grouped objects, you can’t move, delete, or modify them in any way until you unlock them. However, a locked object can be selected, copied, or duplicated; when you copy or duplicate a locked object, the new object is also locked.
    To lock a floating object:
    Select the objects you want to lock, and then choose Arrange > Lock.
    To unlock a floating object:
    Select the objects you want to unlock, and then choose Arrange > Unlock.

  • How to Auto Update non-TOC Page Numbers within a document (ie, 550pp)

    Friends. Within a large Pages document that is dynamically changing, along with the total number of pages, the TOC (ie, Table of Contents) can be easily updated.
    However, I want to point to specific content, and therefore the correct page number for the content, within the document and have that pointer (ie, a page number) *update automatically as the page numbers change*.
    I need to repeat this about two dozen times for different references to make a 550 page document more reader-friendly by making it easier for readers to find the exact source or reference elsewhere in a document.
    How do I do that within Pages '08 ?

    Hello
    I'm not aware of such a feature.
    If the document is designed to be read on a computer, you may use links.
    Clicking on a link will bring you to the linked area.

  • How to identify Parked and Posted Documents in GL Line Item Report

    Is there any way to identify parked and posted documents in GL Line Item Report S_ALR_87012282? If i tick the parked documents in the further selection tab in the selection parameter, report will list all documents (parked and posted).
    There is no available field in the layout. Is there any other way?
    Thanks!

    HI,
    The other way to know the parked document details
    use tcode: FBV3 - Display
    OR
    you can go to SE16 and enter table name VBKPF -Document Header for Document Parking
    BSTAT = V
    V = parked document
    and ececute u will get the details of parked document.

  • Optional variables within report  not shown on portal

    Hello,
    I have got following phenomenon:
    I created a report with the Report Designer. This report contains different queries that all use the same optional variable. Our first tries showed the selection screen for this variable within the portal.
    After we changed the technical name and the description and published it into portal again the selection for the optioanl variable isn't shown anymore.
    It's no general problem because on queries for example the optional variables are shown.
    Has anybody an idea what could be the problem and how we can solve it?
    Greetings & thanks
    Bettina

    Hello,
    if I execute the report within the Report Designer there occurs a drop down menu on the variable screen "Available variants:" with on item "Report with variable".
    I can save this variant - but it's not possible to choose this special variant for publishing into portal (ok, maybe it works but my first tries didn't work). Do you have an idea how this setting can be used in portal??
    Greetings & thanks
