Overlapping text is hidden

I'm creating a diagram for my book in Indesign CS5. I've got a text frame for the whole page (containing the text in the page), some shapes and some additional text frames containing labels for my diagram. Those labels are overlapping the main text frame and the label text is hidden. I want the label text to be visible.
I've tried sending the main text frame to the back (Arrange > Send to Back) and bringing the labels to the front. That didn't make a difference. I've also tried making the main text frame fill transparent, and that had no effect either. I guess it must be something simple. Or that Indesign doesn't let you have overlapping text frames and wants you to have jigsaw piece shaped frames all over your page.

Do you know about text wrap? You apply it to objects and turn it on and off using the Text Wrap panel (Window > Text Wrap). Then you can set text boxes to ignore that text wrap setting where necessary in their options (select the box and Ctrl + B/Cmd + B).

Very slow PDF generation when conditional text is hidden in FM 9.0

I am working on 96-page chapter of a larger book. A 7-page section of the chapter needs to be hidden until the next release, so I hid it with conditional text. After doing this, the "Save as PDF" printing process goes from taking 6-7 seconds to taking several minutes. If I unhide the conditional text in the same session, printing is very quick again.
I have no problem generating very PDF files with the PDF printer in other applications (Word, PowerPoint). The issue is specific to FrameMaker and the use of conditional text. What might be causing this?
I am using FrameMaker 9.0p255 and Distiller 9.0.

Hi Jeff,
These were good suggestions to try. Saving the document first has no effect on PDF generation.
However, I did find that printing to the Adobe PDF printer remains fast when the conditional text is hidden. That's quite an interesting finding! I did also notice that these two methods of PDF generation aren't identical:
"Save as PDF" opens an Adobe Distiller window, while printing to the Adobe PDF printer opens a different "Creating Adobe PDF" progress box (looks like it's from the printer driver itself).
"Save as PDF" generates a 1188k PDF file, while printing to the Adobe PDF printer generates a 1049k PDF file.
"Save as PDF" defaults to placing the PDF in FrameMaker's working directory, while printing to the Adobe PDF printer defaults to saving to the last place to saved a printed PDF file (awkward when working with multiple directories, as I often do).
When I do a "Save as PDF", FrameMaker does still spool to the PDF printer. It is this spooling that takes a long time. Once spooling is complete, then the Distiller window opens and the PDF is created very quickly.
I would still like to get "Save as PDF" working since it knows where to place the PDF file. No solution to the runtime yet, but at least there is progress...

I have created a site with iWeb. I have replaced the iWeb Nav bar with a vertical one I made myself. Problem is, my top button disables itself if it overlaps into the "hidden" nav bar area. I can cmd click and drag it into this area, but then all the rest

I have created a site with iWeb. I have replaced the iWeb Nav bar with a vertical one I made myself. Problem is, my top button disables itself (and the animation doesn't work) if it overlaps into the "hidden" nav bar area (indicated by a blue rectangle). I can cmd click and drag it into this area, but then all the rest of my site is pushed down the page. Don't know what to do about this. I don't know how to bring the rest of the page up without dragging it also into the designated nav bar area. Also, by doing this, is it affecting my site in ant way? see my site here at www.steveburrowsimages.com
The home page is with it all draged into the nav bar area and the about page is with is outside the nav bar area (notice that the top button does not animate or work as a button.
Getting confused here. Anyone got any ideas?

Well, you made a good start with SEO by getting rid of the iWeb default navigation since it doesn't help the spiders and, out there in the real world, there are more people than you would think with javascript turned off in their browsers.
One of the downsides of iWeb is that it doesn't allow for the alt attribute in the img tag. Its well worth adding these to give you extra keywords even if you have captioned all your images. Use iWeb SEO Tool for this...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Tags.html
iWeb, just like most drag and drop software, creates a huge amount of code which causes the pages to load slowly in the browser. Running you files through an optimizer will help to reduce this problem and further reduce the size of image files even beyond the initial optimization you do before loading them into iWeb...

Overlapping text in Crystal Report

I am working with Crystal Report 2012. I am suppose to create a Crystal Report which may be exported to pdf . It has certain fields with "Can Grow" property. As a result of all this I am facing overlapping text issues due increase in the text length , I don't want to limit the length of text fields. I require an urgent help to deal with this issues.
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi Dell,
Is this the thing you wanted me to do :
If yes then I did this but I lost the contents of the Group Footer #6b.
Before applying , in-circled are the overlapping text which are possibly lost after the application
Before:
After applying these fields are missing
After:
According to me this might occur due to " Group by " which is removed afterwards.
Waiting for your reply.

Text gets hidden on PDF form

I have created a PDF form with Acrobat Pro 9 and saved it as a form extending its features to Reader.
When I open the form with Reader 9 it allows me to fill in the fields but I can only see text in the field I am clicked on. Any previous fields I have typed text into is hidden (invisible) as soon as I click on another field.
I tried selecting all the fields and changing the background to a random color and then back to a non-colour and saving that form. When I opend it in Reader I was able to see all the text that I input and I though it was fixed. But when you close the file and save it and then reopen it, all the text is hidden again until you click on each field to be able to see it.
Does anyone know what's going on?

Hi Larry,
I don't use Preview to view PDFs. Acrobat Pro 9 is my default PDF viewing application.
For the project I'm doing I created the form in Acrobat Pro and filled in the form in Acrobat Reader (which worked properly after changing the background color of the fields), but now when the file is opened in Reader you can see all the text in the fields, but when that same file is opened in Pro you can't see the text in the fields until clicked on. I attach two screen shots of the exact same file opened in Reader and open in Pro.
I understand that Preview and other applications that open PDFs may not be able to view/edit forms properly created with Acrobat (which is a pity), but I would of thought there would not be and issue between Adobe products.

In Pages, the column in the table won't flow onto the second page. The text is hidden. Please help!

In Pages, the column in the table won't flow onto the second page. The text is hidden. Please help!

Thank you for your reply,
When I click 'view' , I can "show inspector". From the table tab, I can pull up the "Format". [See below]. I don't see the "Arrange" or "Object Placement Move with Text"
Right now I have the Wrap Text On. When I take it off, It messes up my rows [see second image].
All I want is for my column to flow onto the second page.
Your assistance is genuinely appreciated.
Thank you again.

Overlapping text

Overlapping text...Whats up?

Hi
Most of the web pages that i visit have overlapping text & links making it impossible to access and read all of the info at those sites. I thought it was somthing I could fix in the "view" or text encoding but nothing seems to work.
Does anyone else have this problem? How can it be resolved?... Thank

Hello cuz:
You may have a font problem (or something else).
Open font book and select all and eliminate the duplicates. Then select all and verify the fonts.
Next, clear the Safari cache, trash the preference file (com.apple.safari.plist) and restart.

Hidden element overlaps text when link is clicked to unhide div tag

I am using Dreamweaver CS4 and using the slide effect.
When the page loads, the div is initially hidden with (disolay:none). But when i click the link to show the content, the content is displayed but it overlaps the table beneath it.
I am using 4 collapsible panels. The hidden element is in the second collapsible panel.
Everything works good except that when the table is displayed after clicking the link to unhide it - it overlaps the 3rd and 4th collapsible panel. When the table is unhidden by clicking the link, the other tables that are in the same collapsible panels move and this is good, but it overlapps the 3rd and 4th collapsible panel though. How do I fix this?

This is why you don't use absolutely positioned elements to do this kind of thing. Because absolute positioning REMOVES the positioned element from the normal flow, this element then cannot interact with any other element on the page, nor can any other element interact with it.
The better way to do such a thing would be to use abuse 'display:none' to remove the container from the page rather than 'visibility:hidden', and of course, not to use absolute positioning. Something like this -
<p>Velit esse cillum dolore <a href="#" onclick="document.getElementById('foo1').style.display='inline'">MORE</a> <span id="foo1" class="hidden">sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. In reprehenderit in voluptate quis nostrud exercitation ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Qui officia deserunt sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Ut enim ad minim veniam, lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.</span>

Overlapping objects in hidden information and OCR

when i use text recognition, i can search for words. This works great. I also need to remove all hidden information, which removes 'overlapping objects', which disables the text recognition. is there a way to have zero hidden information in acrobat and at the same time have OCR?

Nathan, there are a couple of techniques you can use to make this kind of work easier. First off, you can assign a build animation to an object and then move it do a different place on the slide and the animation will still work. So, in your case, you could create the replacement objects, apply the build in you want, apply the build out to the original objects, and only then slide the replacements on top of the originals (using the guide lines to line up exactly).
Alternatively, you can use the Send Backward and Send Forward menu items to manipulate the objects. If you have two sets of objects (grouped together), one original and one to be the replacement, you can move the original in front of the replacement, apply your build out, then send the original backward, and the replacement set should now be on top (presuming these are the only two groups on the slide). You can even put icons for Backward and Forward into the toolbar of the Keynote window for easy access (in the View menu, select Customize Toolbar).
I hope these tips help.

How do I make subform flow down page without overlaping text?

Here is my issue. I have a checkbox and if the user clicks on the checkbox a paragraph of text (which is in a subform) appears if they uncheck it, the subform of text dissappears. But my problem is if they uncheck it the subform dissapears which is what I want but there is a big gap on white space on the form so how do I get the other text to push up to the checkbox when it is not checked and move down accordingly when the checkbox is checked and the subform appears in the middle?. I am using FormCalc for the coding. My code for the checkbox in the "click" option is
if($.rawValue ==1)then
option1subform.presence ="visible"
else option1subform.presence="invisible"
endif

Hi,
'invisible' will make the object (subform) transparent, so that while the user cannot see it, it is still taking up space on the form.
Instead you can use 'hidden', which will not only hide the object, but it wont take up space either, allowing other object to move up and take the space.
HOWEVER, this will only work, if you have the page set to 'flowed', in the Object > Subform palette AND saved the form as a Dynamic XML form in the save as dialog.
Here is an example: https://acrobat.com/#d=IFY2ZMg4G9XZmJnJJNSw*w
Paul Guerette is doing an online talk on dynamic forms on the 30 November, which you should attend. Details here: Tech Talk: Developing Flowable Form Content
Hope that helps,
Niall

Adding text as hidden layer in PDF's

Hi, I have some hand written documents (Old genealogy letters) which I would like to be made searchable. Can I scan the documents as PDF’s, then manually word process the documents and add this text as a hidden text layer? Thanks Doctor Keo

About Acrobat OCR.
Three methods.
#1 Searchable Image
#2 Searchable Image (Exact)
#3 -
(a) Formatted Text and Graphics (prior to Acrobat 9)
(b) ClearScan (Acrobat 9)
#1 - Provides OCR output as a hidden text layer. Will perform some "adjustment" to the image.
#2. - Provides OCR output as a hidden text layer. Will not "adjustment" to the image.
#3. a & b
If process thinks it "knows" what the character is then it replaces the image of the character.
If process is not sure what the character is then it flags the character(s) as "suspects".
End-user can edit "suspects".
If process does not know what the character is the character's image is left alone as a bit-mapped image.
Note that "ICR" vice "OCR" is meant for handwritten material that has been scanned.
Acrobat does not provide "ICR".
However, text from a typewritter typically provides accurate OCR provided the scan is at high enough resolution (typically, 300 ppi).
If #1 or #2 is used you can always Save As to a *.txt file.
This can be brought into a text editor, word processor, page layout application, etc.
There, you can create a "clean" copy from which a PDF can be made.
Provide the Scan of the original and use a PDF Bookmark or a Button Field having a link action to go to the copy having the corrected content with renderable text. Make a Catalog index of the cleaned up text PDFs to support advanced search.
For all practicable purposes, there is no manipulation/edits/etc. to the hidden layer of OCR output.
Be well...

Plot legend overlapping text

I have an xygraph (from silver controls palette) (LabVIEW 2012 (SP1 12.0.1f5). I have encountered a problem where the plot legend text overlaps with plot graphic icon image. I don't know the cause of it but it always starts at my boss's end and the only solution that I have is to replace the xygraph with a new one (by right clicking the graph and selecting replace and then a new xygraph from the silver controls paltete. Is there a solution to this problem (autosize legend is turned on).
This is how it should be (and this is how it starts)
But this is how it ends up (after inderterminate time)
Any fixes?
Thanks in advance

Right-click on the graph and go to Advanced->Customize. You will now have the control editor open. Click on the wrench in the toolbar. It should now look like tweezers. You can now move individual peices around. This is how you can switch the legend text and icon.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

How does one overlap text and images

I have the text box and the image on the Pages doc and when I move either to overlap the other, the one not selected "darts" away

Select the image.
If it is an inline object, change it to Floating.
Click the Wrap button and select 'none'.
Place the image where you want it.
Select the text box.
Resize it to a close fit around the text.
Drag it to the image.
   If the text slides behind the image:
   with the text box still selected,
   go Arrange > Move forward
   repeat until the text is visible in front of the image.
Adjust the placement as necessary.
Change the text colour as needed.
Select both the text box and the image.
Go Arrange > Group to join the two objects in a single group.
Regards,
Barry

Photos overlapping text

When I am adding text to a photograph on the site (http://web.me.com/thedodwells), although in the iweb mode, prior to publishing al looks fine.When I publish the text often disappears behing the photos.
Does anyone know why ? What am I doing wrong?!!

In iWeb do a Command - Shift - L to "Show Layout" and check that the boxes aren't overlapping.

Overlapping text is hidden
