Non-printing Text?

I have a form I need to create that includes information I do not want to have printed on paper. In MS Word I can just set the the selected text to "hidden" and it can be seen on the computer screen but wont print.
Is there a way to do this in Pages?

Hello Christopher,
you can use the comment feature if you are working with Pages 2. For printing just hide the comment margin.
In Pages 1 there is no such feature. One work-around is: create a style for this text and if you want to hide the text, change the text color of the style to the background color. Of course this implements you can place this text only above the same background color, or you have to create different styles for the different background colors.
An other work-around is: create a style for the text and set the opacity to 0% for printing. This works for main text (in the color palette), textboxes and shapes (in the graphic inspector).

Create non-printing text?

Can text in Pages be marked as non-printing? If not, is there a work around? Thank you.

Hello
As far as I know this feature is unavailable.
A workaround would be to use "white ink" for these pieces of text.
An other one would be to put these "non-printing" text in comments.
"Hide Comments" before printing.

Non-Printing Text / ePub

I have a page with the chapter number on it—nothing else.
1) Other than deleting the chapter number text, or moving if off onto the pasteboard, is there a way to have it non-print when exporting to ePub.
I tried checking off non-print in the attributes panel, but no effect there.
2) Also, even if could hide the text, would the frame that it's in take up space in the ePub?
Thanks.

Excellent solution!

Non-printing text frame for use in exported pdf

Hi everyone,
I have a couple of words in a text frame and I've set the text frame to be be non-printing in the attributes panel. I was hoping that by doing this, that when I exported to pd, it would show in the pdf file but not print, but as it happens it doesn't show at all in the pdf.
Is there a way to mark a text frame as non-printing in Indesign but still have it show in the pdf and not print in the pdf?
Would be grateful for any advice.

It might work to put it on it's own layer, mark the layer as non-printing, so it won't print from ID, but export a layered PDF (you might have to include non-printing layers to get it inthe PDF, but I don't think so). In Acrobat pro you can then change the layer properties to visible, but non-printing. It's a real pain to do this.

Non-English Text Printing

Hi friends,
I am using a variable to display a text in english as a simple list, it is coming fine. Also, when the same variable is used to display any non-english text like korean or japanees, it is coming fine in the output list. But, when I do the print preview using 'LP01' or other test printer, the korean or japanees text is printed to the left (the text is shifted to the left) as result the whole column is shifted to the left.
Can anyone tell what could be the problem & it's possible solution.

Marking text as non-printing

I read that in ID CS4 it's possible to mark text as non-printing (while still including it in a TOC). However, I can't find where this command is ...
Can anyone help?

What I'm trying to do is this.
My (inherited) ID CS4 document has 5 chapters. On each chapter title page, there are two separate header styles (with very different formatting). One says,for instance, 'Chapter 1' and the other provides a description, such as: 'Managing Applications'
I want the TOC to show: 'Chapter 1: Managing Applications'.
If I tell the TOC to pull in both styles, I get (on two lines):
Chapter 1
Managing Applicaitons 7
My thought, based on Sandee Cohen's text, was to insert a second 'Chapter 1' in front of the 'Managing Applications' and mark the former as hidden. But ID can't do this...
Is it possible to put the second 'Chapter 1' on a second hidden layer, inside the same frame?
Even if you can do this, it probably isn't worth the effort in this instance. But I'd just like to know for future reference.

Text not printing or PDFing. Non-printing is not applied. Help?

I have a logo. The top is on a path applied to an oval. Same with the bottom. In the middle is an ampersand (&). When I try to print, only the ampersand prints. I've tried printing to 2 different machines. I also tried saving it as a PDF but I lose everything except the ampersand in the middle. Everything is colored black, so there are no weird colors going on. Non-printing is not applied to anything. Any thoughts? I can send the file to somebody if they want to check it out.
ID CS 3
Thanks,
Chris

Sorry for the delay. Spent some time looking for the font becasue I'm on Windows.
I opened it first in CS5, and after font substitution it exported fine, so I figured maybe it was a font problem on your end, but just to be safe I opened it in CS3 to check. Same problem here that you have on your end.
Good news, though. I exported to .inx and opened that. That page opened at 11 inches high, which may be part of the problem, but after resizing, it exported correctly. This is a pretty good inidcator of some minor corruption that is fixable by the export. See Remove minor corruption by exporting

Printer won't print text documents

My HP 4300 series all in one printer prints images but won't print text from word processor documents. If I print a test page it will only print the image part but none of the text will appear. Blank pages are printed when I attempt to print text from a word processor however images are printed perfectly from web pages etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated so that I can have full functionality of my printer again.

Hello
See if the link will help you with the printing issues.

Recent InDesign change suppresses non-printing layers when exporting to EPUB

I hate it when development teams quiety "fix" features I've come to rely on.
I am using InDesign CC 9.2.
Until a recent update, when I exported a book to EPUB from InDesign, layers which were set to show but not print were included in the export. I relied on this because my documents include a non-printed Table of Contents block on the first page of each piece included in the anthology. This block causes the correct page to be set when generating the TOC (notice that it's on the page facing the title, not the title page itself) and is used to print the correct title on the title page of each story and running headers throughout the body.
(An example document - Click for full size)
Up to at least January 2014, when I exported to EPUB, that visible-but-not-printed block was included in the XHTML output. I could then modify CSS to optimize for e-reader display and the title and author names would appear at the top of each piece. Sometime within the past couple of months, that has changed: layers that are not printed also do not export to EPUB. This wouldn't be so big a problem except that the printed title in the image above also is not output to the EPUB file, because it's a text variable in the underlying master page.
If you like reading and messing with markup, as I do, the next two images illustrate the problem.
(The old output - Click for full size)
The new output:
(The new output - Click for full size)
I have five volumes of the anthology so far (comprising roughly 30 stories each) with a new one coming out every three months. Now that this change has been thrown at me, I need to get it resolved or come up with a good workaround while I only have a couple hundred documents to update, instead of double that a year from now.
Thank you for any help or suggestions you can provide!

Going back through every document to override Master Page objects just to get the elements to export is not a realistic workaround.
The change that suppresses visible but non-printing objects is annoying, but at least it's a documented change in 9.2. The change that suppresses all Master Page elements as well is not documented (or at least not documented in an obvious way) and so to me it's a bug.
Ideally, if these new changes are required by some users, the old behavior could at least become an option: the export to EPUB dialog could add checkboxes for "Include non-printing objects" and/or "Include Master Page elements" so that users like me are not left with no way to continue to use existing functionality.

FRM-40209 Field must be of form . - for a non-based text item

Hello,
When I try querying using a VARCHAR2 non-based text item in a table-based block, setting dynamically in PRE-QUERY trigger the DEFAULT_WHERE property for its block, in case I use characters > or < (for bringing values greater or smaller than the one in the field, as in a standard Oracle query) error message is raised: 'FRM-40209 Field must be of form .' The issue has nothing to do with the error itself (usually related to erronated format mask of the field), and it is known as an Oracle Forms bug: I found it as bug 851153 - which appears on execute query if you enter in a non-base-table-item and the block has a pre-query trigger. The bug has been solved later in Oracle Developer Forms Builder 6i, or so I've been reading, problem is the application I'm working to requires Forms Builder 6.0.5.
I am trying to find an workaround for this situation and these are the info I managed to discover myself on the topic:
- if I fill the field with '>value instead of >value, query works fine, bringing only values greater than the specified value. (So far, this and inactivating the FRM-40209 error in ON-ERROR trigger seems like the best I can do)
- if I only use > (without '), I cannot use an auxiliar variable/global in which to store the actual value written in the field, I also cannot print the value in a message, because trying to use the exact string, it is shown as null (even though when the error is raised, value is still shown on the screen in the text item).
Maybe someone could help with an idea for an workaround in order to copy the content of the text field before it actually becomes null…
Thank you in advance.

I have already tried that... but for some reasons the field already appears as null, when I try to use it.

Adobe Prints Text as Double Image

When I print pdf documents online[specifically http://content.educationdirectonline.com/course/VET010/online/vet010_088001.pdf ] the text prints out fuzzy, with a gray double image of the text right behind it, almost like a shadow. I've tried turning off the printer(Dell Photo Printer 720 with new black ink cartridge and full colored) to reset the cache, but it hasn't helped. The problem seems to be specific to Adobe, because I have printed text documents with notepad and they turn out fine.
Also, I have tried changing scaling options, text rounding options, and even tried printing the pdf as an image, none of which have effected the problem I am experiencing.
If anyone would help me solve this mystery it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for taking the time to read through this.

It seems to print fine for me. I would suspect that you may need to update your printer driver.

Hi.
I need to implement "View non-printing characters" feature in my JTextPane.

Non printing items still printing

Hi.
I have created in Indesign a 8 page pdf with hyperlinks (as a nav bar on each page)
I have set the colourful headers and footers on each page as non printing.
I am trying to create a PDF that will be colourful on screen, but when the browser goes to print it out the headers and footers will not output.
trouble is, they are still printing
I have tried exporting as smallest file/ high quality print and non printing options are ticked (otherwise the headers dont appear at all on screen)
can this be done? if so, how?
I have attached a sample file it has two objects in it:
1) some text
2) a magenta rectangle place over the text
I am trying to acheive a pint rectangle on screen, and when the pdf is printed, no rectangle just text.

You can't add a hyperlink to a button - but you can Convert something to a button and then give it a URL to go to when clicked.
Basically you don't select the button and choose a hyperlink destionation the way you would with text, that won't work.
Here's what to do.
Select the frame that will be the button.
Go to Window>Interactive>States
In the fly menu for the States panel (top right of panel) click the arrow pointing down, and a sub menu pops out.
Go to Button Options and to the tab that says "Behaviors"
Event: Mouse Down
Behavior: Go to URL
URL: (insert the url)
And then DON'T FORGET TO CLICK ADD at the bottom of the dialog box.
And that's it. When you make the pdf make sure you inlcude interactive and bookmarks and everything else you need.

Caesar Cipher and non printing ascii

I am writing a program to implements the caesar cipher. For the program I am using ASCII code so my encryption algorithm is:
c = (p + k) mod 128
The only problem is, is that depending on the characters being encrypted and depending on the key I use some of the characters are encrypted to non-printing ascii characters such as 'del'.
So my code reads in the plain text from a file converts each character to ascii, encrypts each character using the key. It then writes the encrypted ascii values to a file as text (i.e. the character equivalent of the ascii).
If I do then encounter a non-printing ascii value it is written to the file as a square shape. Is there any way I can get around this?
Thanks for your help on the matter.
Wallace

Modify your encryption function so that it only covers those ASCII values that print, i.e. you need to implement the mod and + function yourself so that only good ASCII characters are considered.

Hiding non printing characters

I have migrated character mode report from 2.5 to 10g and mapped the o/p to open in textpad using orarrp.
But i am getting non printing characters in the o/p when viewed in any editor but in print out they won't appear.
So how to hide this non printing characters.
The characters are like "square box" followed by "g","square box" followed by "m","square box" followed by "p"
This is the prt file which i am using
printer "wide"
height 72
width 132
code "01" esc 15
code "18" 18
code "10" esc 80
code "12" esc 77
code "15" esc "g"
after page control(L)
return control(M)
linefeed control(J)
pls help

so use the Document
pattern it after the FixedLengthDocument in the tutorial
store the real string in the extended document class
when the user types an invalid character, it is not added to the text pane.
there is a getText method in the Document (i think)
have it return the real string with all the characters
when the user types in the textPane, it will be added to the string in your
document class but will not be seen in the text area because you have
filtered it.
I think you can figure it out. I haven't tested this exact theory but have done
something similar
