Moving graphics and objects

For some reason my ID will no longer let me drag graphics or move objects with my mouse. I can move them with the arrows, but what a tedious job.
I have re-installed with the same results.
I have searched for anything that might be causing this problem, but am lost in the secret files hidden in my Mac.
I really would like help. This is unworkable.

Quit InDesign (force quit, if necessary).
Move the following folder to the desktop: 
Mac OS: [Startup Disk]/Library/Applications Support/Adobe/SING/ 
Note: This is in the Library folder on the root of your startup disk. There is a similar path in your user folder, but that is not the path you need to work in.

  • Moving text and objects

    I have learned much from reading these discussions. This is my first post and I have had no previous experience with layouts or layers in any other application.
    One of my students created this text box. How does she increase the borders around the text in the frame so the text does not bump up against the border? I am not sure how she created it. (Sorry, I thought I could put a picture of the text box in here but it won't import).
    How do you make a text box increase horizontally without increasing it vertically?
    I have had trouble moving objects after they were placed in the background but have learned how to do this from reading these discussions. (Drag from outside the layout to the object.) Thanks. However, I still have trouble doing this for text boxes made over a shape. Sometimes (and I don't know why) a small insertion image appears. It looks like a paragraph insert sign - has a small wavy line on top with two straight perpendicular lines attached to it going down. What are these? When this is an issue I still can't move text that is placed over an object.
    Selecting text to move seems to be different than selecting objects to move.

    Hello Star Flower,
    this I don't understand. If the text would be the content of the shape, you should set every option of the wrap inspector by activating "Object causes wrap" and the tab inspector should be useable, too. If the textbox and the shape behind it would be grouped (you can check this in the menu "Arrange" at the bottom) than you couldn't be able to set the border color or anything else then the size. But maybe I am sitting on my brain.
    Of course there are eight handles! Who has mentioned there should be nine? Oh, errr..., my fault
    Have a look at the metrics inspector. There is a checkbox titled "Constrain proportions". Uncheck it and you can resize the object like you want.
    The best to get a reason of this "thingamajiggys" (how do you speak such a word without enough beer?) is to make a screenshot with layout guides and invisibles shown. Can you send me one or a few screenshots (of the first issue, too) to my e-mail address? You will find it by clicking on my user name in the left column of one of my posts. Or perhaps someone other has an idea.

  • Moving Text and Objects Around on One Page

    Hi All
    I am Using Acrobat X
    I have 36 pages from a pdf printed  onto one (without borders) using Adobe PDF printer - Attached image,  Sorry please advise if there is a way to attach the actual pdf, I  couldnt find one.
    These are notes for an exam and given we are only allowed to take in one A4 page, I need to squash these up. Ideaaly i want to be able to highlight certain bits and drag them to other areas.
    Note
    - The current size of the text is legible when printing
    - Taking a screenshot using that tool will not suffice due to quality reduction as the text is so small. Everything is currently vector quality
    - I don't have the word docs for these

    Hi there,
    I can't really think of a good way of doing this in Acrobat without a very round-about workflow.
    I would suggest you download and install the trial of Adobe Illustrator.  Place your PDF file into a new Illustrator document (Size A4).  The PDF file will exceed the document size, but you should be able to see printable area and the PDF spilling over the artboard.  Then use the tools in Illustrator to re-arrange the content within the confines of the printable area you need.

  • Graphics and Textfields

    I was wondering if you use Graphics and objects like Buttons, Labels, and TextFields are they all drawn on the same graphics layer or is one of them drawn on top, if so which one?

    Are your components realy intersecting?
    If you want two components to intersect, the last of them will be partly hidden.
    import java.awt.*;
    class myPan extends Panel
         Button but1;
         Button but2;
         public void doLayout()
              but1.setBounds(0, 10, 40, 40);
              but2.setBounds(20,5, 40, 50);
         myPan()
              but1=new Button("but1");
              but2=new Button("but2");
              add(but1);
              add(but2);
    }In the code above, but1 will be partly hidden by but2.

  • Piece List and Object list are not moving through transports

    Hi All,
    I have created the Piece List and Object list for Language translation in Development system and saved them in transport.
    When i moved this in Quality system then nothing is showing there.
    I have checked the Log of transport movement,everything is showing OK there.
    Please suggest me the way to solve this issue.

    Hi
    let me explain in Points
    1
    error messages about logs not found during the transport.
    This is usually caused by incorrect maintenance of the setting for the transport directory. Check in particular the parameters DIR_TRANS and TRANSDIR by referring to the advice given in note 556734, section "What do I need to consider when setting up the transport?".
    2
    An import supposedly has an error, but cannot find an error in the log files.
    This is usually due to the order-independent logs. In the order-independent steps, DDIC objects of other requests may also be edited. For example, the request to adjust a table remains for so long in the internal transport tables and is therefore also processed during a subsequent transport until the adjustment was successfully completed. An error can then be displayed for the subsequent request although its objects were all imported without any errors. Explanatory notes for this are 413993, 512493, 407116 and 330378. After every import, the order-independent logs should therefore also be checked.
    If the system refers to canceled RDD* jobs, check the job log via SM37 and via ST22 the short dumps and via SM21 the syslog of the system.
    Hope all my inputs helps you

  • Copy and paste graphics and text in Acrobat 9 Pro

    I'm a new user of Acrobat Pro and am trying to copy a combination of text and graphics from the top half of a page to the blank bottom half of the page. I've not had much success with what I thought would be a simple thing to do and would welcome suggestions. Here's a summary of the options I've tried so far for graphics, text, and both text and graphics.
    A. Graphic Alone:
    1. When I use the Select Object Tool, I can highlight the graphic but when I unclick the left mouse button, the highlighting disappears, so I can't copy the graphic.
    2. When I use theTouchup Object Tool, only an oblong portion of the graphic is highlighted when I click on the object. The only way to highlight all of the graphic is to hold down the shift key and click on successive portions of the graphic until I have highlighted all of it. When I then right-click the mouse, I can copy the graphic. However, when I then place the mouse cursor in the bottom half of the page and do a righ-click paste, the graphic appears to be pasted on top of the original graphic. I can then drag the graphic to the bottom half of the page. I can also paste the object on to a blank page from Create PDF>Blank Page. Overall, this is not elegant nor intuitive, but it does work.
    B. Text Alone:
    1. I can copy the text but when it is pasted, it is not formatted like the orginal, nor can I place it where I want on the bottom half of the page. This is true whenther I use the basic copy function or the Touchup Text Tool.
    2. When I use the Touchup Object Tool and click on the text, Acrobat places similarly-formatted text in a box that I can then right-click and copy. I can then paste the text on a blank page with the text formatted identical to the way it was on the original page. With several blocks of text formatted differently, this procedure could work but would require a lot of work to create a format with placement identical to the original.
    C. Text and Graphics Together
    1. When I use the Touchup Object Tool and attempt to highlight the top half of the page, the Tool insists on including the blank bottom half of the page in its selection. I can copy everything on the page but I haven't found a way to select just the objects in the top half of the page -- I can copy some, but the selected objects aren't highlighted and so this isn't a satisfactory route. It seems obvious to me that Touchup Object should be able to select just the objects I want. But then, even the Select Object Tool doesn't do that, either -- it Selects an object but then you can't do anything with the object.
    2. Using the snapshot tool, I can highlight both graphics and text and copy them -- I can even export them them to another program via the clipboard and create an external file. However -- regardless of whether I just copy and paste, or do a  Touchup Object file import, or whether the file is bitmap or jpg -- when I paste the resulting object or file onto a page in Acrobat, the image always comes out at 200% of its orginal size. I looked for a Resize option, but couldn't find one.
    This is all very time-consuming and frustrating since what I am trying to do is not rocket science. Surely there is a simple way to do this.
    By the way, there are no security restrictions on the file.
    George

    Hi,
    In response to both "...is that normal?" — Yes.
    PDF is not a file format meant to support editing of layout/format/etc or text content creation.
    You'd master content in an authoring application (FrameMaker, InDesign, MS Word, etc.).
    The PDF file is the output of this mastered content.
    Some minor touchups are possible with Acrobat (think whiteout/correction tape on a printed piece of paper -- PDF page content is the electronic "finished paper").
    With that said, you might play with File > Create PDF > From Blank Page and use the Typewriter tool to enter text.
    To output MS Word content to PDF use the Adobe PDFMaker.
    Prior to Word 2007, you'd use "Adobe PDF" on the menu line.
    With Word 2007, you'd use the Acrobat Ribbon features.
    Be well...

  • How to remove file path location listings from photos and objects in Acrobat Pro 9.0 PDF?

    After converting a windows-based Powerpoint 2007 presentation to an Acrobat Pro 9.0 PDF, the file path location of all photos and objects are shown in a dialogue box when the cursor is moved over the image as seen in this screenshot below. How can I stop this from happening and remove this feature on my pdf documents? 

    I saw that referenced on a forum, but it does not seem to address the issue I am having.
    As per Adobe Acrobat X Standard * What’s new, the equivalent to the "Tools > Protection > Remove Hidden Information" utility found in Acrobat X Standard is the same as the "Document > Examine Document" feature in Acrobat Pro 9.0. Those tools seem to cover meta data, book marks, hidden text, and deleted or cropped content, but not the file path listings that appear on images and objects converted from Powerpoint presentations and other MS Office programs.
    I have reviewed the settings used while creating a pdf, and have also tried the “Advanced > Preflight tool”, but could not find anything to apply to the issue at hand.
    Thus, this issue has not been resolved, but seems like it should be an easy fix that anyone who publishes pdf documents would want to use to publish clean, professional documents without anyone seeing the file path location of every object and image shown in the document on their hard drive.

  • Why is my Mac storing graphics and photos from the web in iPhoto?

    How can I prevent my Mac from downloading graphics and photos from the web?   How do I remove the thousands of images that the Mac moved into iPhoto when I browse the web? 

    This has been reported a few time with no definitive cause. It probably is caused by dragging things to iPhoto. Best solution is to load the back up from just before it occurred. Otherwise you neen to use iPhoto to delete them emptying the iPhoto trash every 100 or so

  • CS5 Interactive PDF - disappearing graphics and buttons

    I have been struggling with CS5 - just about every interactive aspect of it anyway. I have an ebook that I just brought into CS5 from CS4. Each chapter in the book has interactive features such as buttons, anchored graphics, embedded video, html links, etc. I had been struggling with creating the interactive PDF (the whole spread thing) but fixed that with a script found in this forum (Thank You). Even still, I am struggling with random graphics and buttons that disappear off the page during pdf creation. One graphic was moved (not by design) into the bleed space of the document. All of these weird interactive bugs are just about more than enough. It is not an option to create the buttons in Acrobat... there are just too many. Anyone else have similar problems or have a solution I could try. I am close to the point of having to return to CS4 (which would suck to have to redo the edits made again).

    I am sure that is true and makes very good sense for many projects.
    This project is an ever evolving project... a price list that has evolved even from CS. I am in the process of creating it all new again, fresh in CS5 as a side project. Unfortunately, deadlines always push us to make do with what we can and with what we have. I was hopeful that CS5 would take away some of the pains I had been dealing with in CS4, but truly I was just uncovering more crud than I was able to work around. There will be a time when CS5 is good enough... just not today.

  • How to make proficiency rating and objective compulsory.

    Hi gurus,
    Please I need your help, I need to make Proficiency Rating column of appraisal and appraisal objective to be required (i.e compulsory). That is, Appraiser will not be allow to move to step 3, if scores are not awarded to appraisee and objective is not filled. The appraisal template has been designed already and is in use. Is this possible? If yes, how can I achieve this?
    Anticipating your response, please.

    hi all,
    In attempt to solve this problem i used personalization by selecting
    1. Personalized "setup details"
    then I select
    2. message check box: show competency ratings
    3. I changed "Required" field to YES and then clicked on Apply.
    But the proficiency rating column which the appraiser MUST filled before moving to next step (3) did not display validation error message to inform the appraiser to supply values for the ratings for appraisee comptencies as expected of message check box with required field set to YES.
    Please is this approach correct? if yes what could be the problem? if no please assist.
    Thanks

  • Live Type textures and Objects not working

    Everything had been working. Moved to a new home...so I had to take editing suite apart. Now when I open LiveType there seems to be a red render bar...and when i try to apply textures and objects to a new track...you see it in the canvas as a small black line. And you get nothing if you try to render the movie. though the font seems to be working
    please help

    Look in this discussion: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1392289&tstart=0
    To nutshell it, use an app called "Pacifist" to revert your ProApps to 4.0 from 4.5 and Quicktime from 7.4 back to 7.3. You can find links to all that in the other discussion. I found my liveType dead this morning and the culprit appears to be the combination of the ProApp update and the Quicktime update. I used Pacifist to revert and it was simple and fairly painless. Install Pacifist, drop the "old" update's .pkg onto the Pacifist icon in your Application folder and rock on.

  • CS6 dead slow moving layers and groups

    I have this brand new PC, got it last week,  i7 core, SSD drive, 16gb ram.
    When I open my PSD doc with my design (approx 43mb psd file) then the photoshop application spikes in memory usage, to 3.5gb (from 120mb), and moving groups and layers around is DEAD SLOW, horrible lag.
    I had CS3 on my previous PC, which was Core2 Duo with 4gb ram, and the speeds there were similar on the same psd document.
    I've also tried CS5.1 on a similar PC hardware specs as my new PC, and moving groups and layers around is much faster.
    Is it just CS6? Why is this so slow?

    Wow, that was kind of an over the top response...
    Many of the files I'm using were made in CS4 and didn't have this problem. I updated to CS6 about a month ago. The same files, that worked perfectly in CS4 are having this issue in CS6. It's not about the files - it's about CS6.
    Maybe I worded my post wrong. The point I was trying to make is - something is wrong in SC6 Photoshop that's not unique to me or my files. A lot of other people I know complain of the same thing.
    I was trying to highlight that this is an unaccepatble issue for software at this cost. And that it's a really, really big deal. What is more fundamental than moving layers?
    From the volume of posts I see and the lack of an actual solution, my assumption is that there is not one and that this is a program flaw. I hope Adobe can adress this in an update soon.
    If that is wrong and there is a true "solve", please advise.
    On a side note. I'm an Creative Director doing web based work. The files are 72dpi. And this issue occurs when dragging / moving simple layers. They are not huge files or items that require substantial redraw.
    RAM 15,214 - Photoshop allocated 10,497
    History states: 50
    Cache levels: 2
    Cache tile size: 128
    All other preferences are default.
    Changing the settings above or alterting graphics processor usage or settings and no noticable affect.

  • Need help w/ created classes and objects

    I am having a difficult time understanding what is wrong w/ my classes and objects. I've looked in two books and have messed around a bit. Here is what I am -attempting- to do.
    I want to make a class called CLOTHING. In this class i want objects such as shirt and pants (for now).
    these are the errors im getting:
    .\Shirt.java:6: invalid method declaration; return type required
         public Shirt(int size){
                   ^
    .\Shirt.java:3: class Clothing is public, should be declared in a file named Clothing.java
    public class Clothing {
           ^
    MyClassHW.java:10: cannot resolve symbol
    symbol  : constructor Shirt  (int,int)
    location: class Shirt
              myShirt = new Shirt(1,1);
                              ^
    3 errors------------------------------------------------------------
    This is the code for my Clothing class:
    import java.awt.*;
    public class Clothing {
         private int shirtSize;
         private void Shirt(Graphics s, int h, int v){
         Polygon shirts;
              shirts = new Polygon();
              shirts.addPoint(5+h,8+v); // 1
              shirts.addPoint(17+h,12+v); // 2
              shirts.addPoint(19+h,13+v); // 3
              shirts.addPoint(33+h,8+v); // 4
              shirts.addPoint(37+h,13+v); // 5
              shirts.addPoint(25+h,20+v); // 6
              shirts.addPoint(25+h,28+v); // 7
              shirts.addPoint(15+h,28+v); // 8
              shirts.addPoint(15+h,20+v); // 9
              shirts.addPoint(1+h,12+v); //10
              s.fillPolygon(shirts);
    }from what i understand each object is essentially a method...
    Here is the code for the java applet I'm making:
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.applet.*;
    public class MyClassHW extends Applet { // implements ActionListener, AdjustmentListener {
         Shirt myShirt;
         int size;
         public void init(){
              myShirt = new Shirt(1,1);
    // <applet code = "MyClassHW.class" height = 300 width=300> </applet>thank you for your time and help. as always, your efforts are appriciated.

    .\Shirt.java:6: invalid method declaration; return type required     public Shirt(int size){
    I guess, public Shirt(int size) is constructor in class shirt. You have one int in this constructor. Shirt(int size)
    Here you initialize your shirt with two int:
    MyClassHW.java:10: cannot resolve symbolsymbol : constructor Shirt (int,int)location: class Shirt          myShirt = new Shirt(1,1);
    Shirt(int size, int what?)
    It's why it show such message.
    But even if you fix it seems like you have very vague ideas about what you are doing.
    As far as I understood you need three classes.
    First applet Clothing:
    public class Clothing extends Applet{
    Shirt myShirt;
    Pants myPants;
    public void init() {
    myShirt = new Shirt(1); // small shirt
    myPants = new Pants(32, 40); // medium waist and long legs
    Second and third your classes Shirt and Pants:
    public class Shirt extends Object {
    int size;
    public Shirt(int s) {
    size = s;
    public int getSize () {
    return size;
    same for Pants, only you need two parameters for it or whatever you want.
    You could design it diffrently if you want derive your Shirts and Pants from Clothing and then to use them in your applet. But, indeeed, you desperately have to do some serious reading, where authors are accurate in they definitions and stuff, because it's kind of complicated.
