Moving through options on a dialog box

How do you move from one button to the other when you get a dialog box??
Like when you have to agree/disagree , say yes/no/cancel, etc.
It's really annoying to have to go back to the mouse everytime the default option is not the one you need.

Make sure "Full keyboard access" is set to "All controls" at the bottom of the "Keyboard Shortcuts" tab of "Keybosard & Mouse" system preferences.
Tab or Shift-TAB should move the blue outline.
Space will activate the button with the blue outline. Enter or Return always activates the solid blue button.

Why am I not seeing Adobe PDF as an option in my Dialog Box?

I am trying to prepare a booklet for print. After selecting Print Booklet option, the Adobe pdf option is no longer in my Print Dialog Box. I need to send this file to a printer so it must be formated as the pdf. Why am I not seeing Adobe PDF as an option in my Dialog Box?

Shortcut for moving between Panels on Modal Dialog boxes eg: Cell Options (OS X)

Is there an existing shortcut for moving between the tabs of modal dialog boxes. For example Cmd+Opt+'B' brings up Cell Options dialog but that is actually the shortcut for the "Text" Panel how can I navigate (using keyboard keys) to the other Panels {"Strokes and Fills", "Rows and Columns", "Diagonal Lines"}.
Note:
I realise I can create shortcuts for the Table…> Cell Options…> Diagonal Lines items but these shortcuts will not work in the context of the Cell Options Modal Dialogue box.

Hey Thanks.
For those who come looking b/s they had the same question:
As a bonus once one of these key sequences is pressed the tab heading area comes into focus so the arrow keys work for navigating tabs. So even for long list of Paragraph Style tabs which number greater than 10 still easy to navigate to them eleventh to someteenth ones.

Removing PDF options in print dialog box

When I bring up the print dialog box and click on "PDF" to go to the options for saving the document as PDF, how do I remove some of the options from that list? I installed software that put an option in that list, but I don't use the software so I want to remove that PDF option from the list but don't know where to go to remove it.

How to stop cursor (pointer) moving to default button in dialog boxes?

My cursor has been automatically moving to the default button in dialog boxes. So if I'm "saving as..." it moves to the "enter" or "ok" button. In other dialogs it moves to the cancel button, or whatever is highlighted. I use a big monitor so my wrists are aching from rolling my trackball all day to get where I want to go and away from the default.
I'm not sure where this happened, but I can't find the cause. I've turned off all my menu bar items, and it still happens. But I can't find anything in OS preferences related, nor accessibility. Unless I'm missing it. Happens with the trackball unplugged, using just the trackpad. Happens in all apps.
I have a vague recollection of engaging something like this in the last OS, but it hasn't been happening until recently, long after I would have enabled it. I think it started on my upgrade to Yosemite, but not sure.
Can anyone help? Terminal commands ok.
Thanks,
NMcQ

It's likely that one of your login items is causing the problem. Select the Login Items tab in the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences. Delete any items that you don't recognize.

What happened to the option for a dialog box upon closing that allowed for modifying the automatic history clearing options, and how do I get it back?

I no longer find this option in the privacy settings under the Tools/Options menu. Is there a setting I can modify in the config file to reactivate this function?

As I remember, that pop-up box disappeared after Firefox 3.5, as well ask the "Ask me before clearing..." option check box. The items are now automatically cleared that you have selected in ''Firefox button > Options > Options (or Tools > Options) > Privacy > [x] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings''
*See --> https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History
*See --> https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Privacy%20panel
There is an Extension/Add-on that will display that box when closing Firefox:

While using firefox often i come across application error dialog box.if i click any option in this dialog box my firefox restarts. pls give me a solution to get rid of this problem

this problem happens when i click websites of search results

Install Java via http://www.java.com/en/
Also install the Quicktime plugin via http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
If the problem persists, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

Save Dialog Box

Apparently I am in the extreme minority, but I really do miss the save dialog box when saving attachments in Mail. Is there anyway to kill off the automatic saving to the Downloads folder? And no I am not interested in merely moving the default from automatically saving all attachments to Downloads to automatically saving to some other folder.
I maintain some 2000 plus clients and multiple projects for each client on my hard-drive. Each client and project is set up in hierarchical folders. I have been too busy recently to go through the Downloads folder and move the downloaded attachments to the proper client and project folders so my Downloads folder built up a sizable backlog. After spending more than two hours just moving files from Downloads to the folders where they are supposed to be I have finally reached my breaking point.
Prior to the creation of the Downloads folder Mail would offer you a save dialog box like most other programs and you could navigate to where you wanted particular files saved. Is this just impossible to do in the current incarnation?
I am almost positive this is not something that can be fixed through the standard preferences dialog box, but I am hopeful that it may be one of those things that can be edited in the plist file. Any ideas?

The Downloads folder defined in Mail/Prefs/General is just to temporarily store decoded attachments.
The Save dialog is available by pressing *and holding* the Save lozenge button next to the attachment(s) in the message header header, or right-clicking/save attachment on files visible in the message body.
(Having to click and hold the save button to get something useful is extremely bizarre, and IMO broken)
You can also drag and drop items from the message to a Finder window or whatever.

How to access Print Dialog boxe's "Pages" property

Hi,
I am using the following line to populate the Print dialog box.
xfa.host.print(1, "0", (xfa.host.numPages-1).toString(), 0, 1, 0, 0, 0)
Is there any way that I can access Pages option using JavaScript with Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 where I can show the page range to print?
I want to print 3 copies of 1st Page and then the one copy of full PDF. So in the Pages option of Print dialog box I want to display 1,1,1,1-9. Is there any way to accomplish this programmatically?
Or is there any better way to print 3 copies of 1st page and then 1 copy of whole pdf?
Thanks.

Site definition dialog box

I'm very new to Dreamweaver and am trying to bring in a website design that I did in photoshop. Trouble is, all the tutorials I see mention the Site Definition Wizard which is supposed to be accessible through the Site Definition Dialog Box. My understanding is that when it should come up when I go to Site, New SIte. Trouble is, I get a Site Setup dialog box instead and can't figure out how to get to the Wizard. Any advice?

Hi Julie,
That *is* the revamped Site Definition screen in CS5.
Site is for local settings
Servers is for your remote settings (FTP server, username, password etc)

Where do I find the printer dialog box to change the setting that asks me to save a file before printing

Where do I find the printer dialog box to change the setting that asks me to save a file before printing

Hi Sara,
The problem is every time I try to copy a page from a website or attachment sent to me or anything that I don't create, the dialog box says I have to save it before I can print -- there are no other options on the dialog box. Very frustrating -- one of the girls in my office is having the same problem and we can't find a way around it.
Hope you can help
Thanks

Hello,
Thanks for response. I am not asking about (Print Screen List) properties.
After (Print Screen List), one more Pop ups screen will come. On that screen one Properties is there. I am asking about that.

What are the advantages of utilizing a dynamic VI compared to utilizing the VI Call Configuration Dialog Box Reload for each call option?

Is it more efficient to use a dynamic VI or utilize the VI Call Configuration Dialog Box which apparently can perform the same function? I realize that there are restrictions on using the VI Call Configuration Dialog Box, however, if my scenario doesn't concern the restrictions, why would I want to go thru the trouble of creating a dynamic VI when I could simply click on the VI of interest and configure from a menu? Are there performance advantages? Thanks in advance!

Generally, I wouldn't recommend playing with the call setup dialog at all (for those who don't know it, you can get to it by right clicking a subVI in the BD). By default, VIs are configured to load with callers and that's the correct options for almost all static VIs. The Open VI Reference primitive has multiple advantages:
It allows you to select different VIs dynamically.
It allows you to spawn multiple copies of reentrant VIs.
It allows you to perform asynch runs (although I think that this is something that should actually be available through the call setup dialog).
It allows you to open references to VIs in other application instances.
In the rare cases where you do want the same functionality that the call setup dialog gives you, it doesn't hide it.
Try to take over the world!

Photoshop "Fill" Dialog Box is missing "Scripted Pattern" option..

Photoshop "Fill" Dialog Box (using the most current Creative Cloud) is missing "Scripted Pattern" option which is supposed to be at the very bottom. Instead, in the middle of the box I have the option to check the word "Script" which brings up only six fill patterns (such as Brick, Sprial, etc). In the tutorials I see that by using Scripted Patterns (the tree option for one) brings up many, many choices.

Big changes made in Fill between CC and CC 2014. CC Fill dialog on top CC2014 Fill dialog bottom. Picture Frame and Tree moved from Fill to Render Filter and new Flame pattern added into render filter grouped with Picture Frame and Tree.
