Odd lines around text in dissolve

Hi Folks,
I have been experiencing some odd lines around text when I am dissolving and can't figure out why. The text is generated from FCP and these lines only appear after rendering. Prior to rendering I can step through the dissolve and all is well. I have tried changing the compressor setting for the sequence to all flavors of ProRes, and even uncompressed, and it has no effect. The only thing that did have an effect was to change to an additive dissolve from a cross dissolve. However this makes the dissolve less linear and unacceptable.
All of the effects handling is being done by Final Cut so there's no third party hardware in the mix. I am running on a 17" MacBook Pro, OS 10.5.8 and FCP 7.0.1 with motion filtering set to best.
Additionally here is a link to an image grabbed from the timeline showing what I am experiencing.

Thanks in advance,

I tried the Outlined Text generator and still have the issue. If I add an outline it actually gets worse. I did however try Boris and with that it goes away. This is really odd and I wish I knew what was causing it. For now though I guess I stick with Boris.
Thanks

Need to add a cut line around text with a stroke

This has been driving me nuts for years and I've often found ways to "kind of" accomplish this, but I figured someone here might be able to help.
Create text, convert to outlines, add a stroke. Ok now I want to add a cut line around that entire thing so it's dye-cut out on vinyl. My cut line is just a stroke with a color defined in my pallet. I can create 2 strokes, but I can't figure out how to get one to go to the edge of the other. I also tried duplicating the image, creating just an outline, but it's impossible to get it exactly outlined by hand.
If I'm not explaining this right, please let me know.
So there I have the text, converted to outlines, white fill and gold stroke. I need to be able to dye-cut this. If you add a new stroke, it's on top of the old one. Basically I want to add a stroke, to the stroke, but only the outside.
Thanks in advance!!

Thank you Larry. I kind of followed what you said but I think there's some steps missing here?
I'm glad you showed me how to create additional strokes without creating outlines, I was never clicking above "character", I had to click above it to add a new stroke, if you have the text selected, it's greyed out.
Ok so I created a new stroke, then selected it, went to FX > Path > Offset Path. I chose 0.02 (closest I could seem to get, but not perfect, ok in some areas, bad in others), miter joins set to 4? Are those the same settings you used? You didn't tell me how much you offset yours. Then I selected the offset path stroke and went object > expand apperance, but it didn't seem to do anything? It just removed the offset path FX option on the stroke? This is where I'm pretty confused. Why even do the step after the offset, couldn't I just stop there and print?
After adding a stroke and offsetting
After selecting Object > Expand appearance.
As you can see, like on the C. There is a gap between the cut line and the stroke at the top, but there's no gap on the left side, but there is on the right, and there is on the bottom as well? If I printed this, I would get white fill, gold stroke, and then another white stroke basically.
Thank you for your patience, I'm self-taught but over the last 4 years of using it every day I'm still learning new tricks!

White lines around texts with object effects applied

I am having a persistent problem with InDesign's output of PDFs when I have applied object effects to text boxes.
When I use an effect—such as emboss (shown in samples) or outer glow—on a text box, the PDF renders it with white lines around the text boxes (sometimes with more than one).
See the attached samples; the boxes are clearly visible with a 3rd party PDF viewer, such as Skim; less so with Acrobat Pro, but still there. It's there when I open the PDF in Photoshop, as well.
I've tried playing with transparency flattening settings, and with merging the layers into a single layer. No help.
The sample shown has an emboss effect applied, transparency flattening set to high resolution (ignoring style overrides), and a single merged layer.
Any help?
In Acrobat Pro:
In Photoshop:
In Skim:

Thanks so much, Bob.
My printer requires that I use the PDF/X-1a:2001 standard for PDF export, which means that it must be Acrobat 4 or later compatibility.
Also: I don't see how to NOT flatten, when exporting PDF for print; the options for flattening are "low resolution," "medium resolution," or "high resolution"—but there is not an option to NOT flatten. Do you know a work-around for this?

What are the blue lines around text in a text box in Pages 09?

I'm now seeing blue lines around all of the text in any text box in my Pages layout document. Its a bit annoying as it makes it hard to see the layout when I'm working in the text box. See below. Just curious if this an issue or some undocumented feature I'm not aware of

Any text was copied and pasted from documents not the web. Interestingly, if I add a new text box, the "Type here to enter text" also has the blue lines around it. However, if I select all and delete that text, I can now type text without the blue lines.
Also, if I create a new page layout document and add a text box, there are no blue lines.
Its all very strange and seems to be eluding everyone.
Thanks however, for your help.

How do I get rid of various lines around text boxes when using navigation panes

How can I get rid of these various lines that are displaying sporatically around different text boxes . . . but only when the navigation panel is displaying? I previously had the issue and changed the text box properties to no fill. It fixed the problem in the document with no navigation panel, but once the navigation panel is displayed the lines appear. And yes, I fixed the text box properties before creating the bookmarks for the navigation panel.

Every device, browser and browser version has its idiosyncrasies.
Just using a stroke and a drop shadow should not have been enough to require Muse to convert the page fill to an image. Were/are there also other effects on the page? Are the page corners slightly rounded?
Bevel and Inner Glow definitely require an image to be created. Most other effects/properties do not.

Blue lines around text

I have written text and blue lines appear around the text.
Also i cannot mark words for the wordlist in this text.
How can i make normal text from this part?

Those indicate text flow.

IPhone5 touchscreen "develops" grey lines around text and becomes unresponsive

My original iPhone 5 has developed another issue with the touch screen.
When switching the phone on after a few moments the touchscreen begins to "develop" grey lines, both vertical and horizontal around the text on the screen, which eventually renders the touchscreen inactive after approx 2 minutes. The development of the grey lines is quicker at cold temperatures, e.g. outside
To clear this issue I have to switch the phone off and on again (not power down). This is now making it very difficult to browse the internet, and write messages. It is also becoming increasingly difficult to swipe to answer calls.
I am up to date with system upgrades, so currently on iOS 8.1.1(?)
This is the second issue I've had with the touchscreen in 2 months, and I'm beginning to wonder if I should replace the phone all together :/
Does anyone have any insight into this issue/had similar problems, and... is it fixable?
Thanks!

It is very possible, but first things first.
This is the second issue, what was the first one? What user troubleshooting have you tried?
What do you mean about switching the phone off and on again no powering down? What do you call turning the power off?
As far as being fixable, first need to know what you have done as far as trying to fix the problem.

White jagged lines around text

I've just created some text with gradient it appears with strange white jagged lines arount it.
it's hard to notice them, but they're very disturbing.
(I'm talking about the text under the illustration)

Can't see any jagged lines at this zoom level. Can you please post another screenshot after zooming in some more with the Text selected? Include the Appearance panel in your screenshot.

Lines over images and around text in Captivate SWF file

My project works & views fine in captivate and when published, it views fine on my mac - through flash player and browsers. But when I send a swf file to the client to view they see odd lines above and below images.
But they dont see the lines when they view the htm file within a browser - then it views fine.
The lines only appear when there's text over an image.
Screen shots attached.
My captivate project was created by importing a Powerpoint document, with images and text on each slide.
I've changed the optimisation / slide quality through prefrences and on each slide to the highest quality.
I've also un-selected the advanced slide compression.
Is there another thing I can try to iron out these lines?
Some of the images within Powerpoint are stretched, would this cause the lines?
Is it a flash player issue?
Or a zooming issue?
Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks Lilybiri,
I am a new user & just finding my way
I understand how to publish and how Captivate creates a zipped file with a SWF, HTML, JS and CSS files etc. (Im using Captivate 7).
How do you send Captivate projects to clients for review / approval before you supply them with the whole project zipped file?
So far I've been sending them the swf file to check. And have had troubles with them viewing the lines over images and around text. Even though I cant see the lines.
I need the client to see what I'm seeing - a project without any lines.

Lines around type and other type/text problems in Dreamweaver CS3

Dear Dreamweaver forum:
Good news/bad news,
First the good news…
My thanks to a forum member by the name of Mylenium. With Mylenium's advice I have improved my halo problem by including a black background when I save type in Illustrator CS3 as part of importing it into Dreamweaver CS3.
However, the bad news, is that I’m still having type and text problems.
Problem area 1
Now, in Dreamweaver, I’m getting lines appearing around the type.
I am dragging and dropping the .gif type file into a Dreamweaver Div Tag.
How do I get rid of the lines around the type so that they do not show up in the Safari browser?
(Please see below)
Problem area 2
I cannot drag and drop text from a Word .doc file into a Dreamweaver div tag.
I also cannot copy and paste Word .doc text into a div tag.
How do I include text on my webpage without having to manually type it in?
(Please see below)
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
From within Dreamweaver CS3, how do I place text? Dragging and droppign the file does not work.
This is screenshot of what I see so far when I use Safari to test what I have made so far in Dreamweaver CS3.
I get lines around type.........not usually a good thing.........How do I fix it?
The way I created the portfolio type in IllustratorCS3 using the File > Save for Web and Devices. I then imported the resulting .gif file so that it was within my root folder within the Files panel within Dreamweaver CS3.
Am I doing this right?

Hi
The problems you are experiencing with the image text, (why are you using image text, these days?) is probably cause by the image having a border when created in illustrator, or the image size being set incorrectly.
As for the word text if you are using windows, see http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/9.0/help.html?content=WSc78c5058ca073340dcda91 10b1f693f21-7ce6.html.
On the mac it is a little more complex, save your word doc as html, then apply the 'clean up word html files', (see - http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/9.0/help.html?content=WSc78c5058ca073340dcda91 10b1f693f21-7ef5.html) copy the relevant text and mark-up from the word html file, and paste into your html document in the required position.

Thick blue stroke line around object and text boxes

After I unlock and ungroup, there is a thick blue stroke around text and object boxes. Does anyone know what this is and how to get rid of it? Thanks!

Click with the selection tool on that object. The blue line will go away.
Meanwhile, it's there to let you choose a "key object" around which you can align objects.

How do I put a box around a line of text like I did in Appleworks?

Please help me. I miss the toolbox in Appleworks where I could easily put a box around text, resize it, make it darker, etc. I've tried the Help menu in Pages and am ready to give up. Could someone please walk me through this? I don't want to use templates --just a plain word processing document. However, I used to box text in after I typed it. Thank you very much.

PeterBreis0807 wrote:
You work the other way in Pages.
Of course, we may work the other way but the OP asked
However, I used to box text in after I typed it.
which is what we did in AppleWorks and what I explained how we may achieve in Pages.
I added the example of string with a background because often, we used the enclosing rectangle because the backgrounded text was unavailable.
Only the backrgound is able to flow correctly with the text.
An inline text box will change the line spacing.
But in fact this message was mainly written to ask you if the border feature works well for you.
Here, it behaves like the (top + bottom borders).
+I wish to add that I get the same behavior with the French and with the English version, under 10.4 and under 10.5, on the G5 and on the macIntel.+
My workaround is to use a table's cell, not a text block.

Adobe Reader highlight tool no longer filling text, just creating a line around the text

The Highlight tool in Adobe reader is no longer working as it used to. Instead of filling the text, as it used to, the tool just creates a line around the text. This makes the highlights much harder to spot.
I'm running Win 8 and using Adobe Reader XI version 11.0.09.
I've attached a screenshot to illustrate. The way the tool used to work, they way I want it to, is shown by all the highlighted text in the document. The way it currently works, is shown on the first line of text , where a portion of the text has been highlighted using the tool as it works now. I just creates a yellow line around the text.
I've checked the way the highlight settings are on both the old highlighted text and the new text and they appear identical. Both the colour and opacity percentage settings are the same.
Very frustrated. Any help appreciated.

Gilad D (try67) wrote:
Very strange. I'm not sure what the reason for this behaivour is, but try right-clicking one of the previous highlights and selecting "Make Current Properties Default". Then try to create a new highlight...
Did that. No effect.

JSF - Read a text file and diplay lines of text data on the web page

Hello,
For one of my projects, I need to display lines of text data on the web page using Java Server Faces Technology. The raw data could be from simple text files or sockets or anything. (Getting the data is not my issue but displaying is). Could anybody send answers with sample code. In servlet, one could do this by -
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException{
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("<html>");
out.println(DATA);
out.println(DATA);
out.println("</html>");
I am looking for similar solution.
Thanks in advance
DK

Thanks mjolinor. Works great!
Two questions.
1. Could you plz suggest how this could be modified so this code would read the file in or accept it from the pipeline instead of wrapping the (@' around the data?
2. Could you plz briefly describe some of the details of the code so I can further research and understand.
Thanks for your help.
Thanks for your help! SdeDot
1. It already reads in the file. The (@' .. '@) bits are just there to create a file using your test data to demonstrate that it works.
2. Not user what kind of "details" you want. There really isn't much there, and get-help on the cmdlets used should provide information on what's going on with them in that script.
