Pages 5 OS X 10.9 background objects not selectable.

I have upgraded to the new pages.
I am using a file i creadted in the old one. I have a table that kept going to the background. I used to tick the "make background objects selectable box" and volla I could edit it.
I can not find this option anywhere in the new pages and am unable to edit the table contents. I have tried sleceting "make master objects selectable" in the arrange menu bar. This has had no effect.
Please help!

This problem bugged me for days in the new Pages. It seems background images aren't really supported that well. The option "Make background objects selectable" has disappeared. So now I have documents with an 'unselectable' image that I can't move around or delete.
I finally found the following workaround to delete an unselectable background image.
1. Use Select All (⌘+A) and copy all content to the clipboard (⌘+C)
2. Open a new blank document (⌘+N) and paste the content there (⌘+V)
3. In the new document, the 'backgrounded' image will be in the foreground, inline with text, and it's selectable with the mouse!
4. Select, modify or delete the object.
5. Then simply paste the fixed content over your original document.
I truly hope this gets a real fix though. Pages has enough problems as it is, but the flexible layouting and object placement were a real nice feature compared to Word.

Pages background objects - not selectable

Hi,
I recently updates Pages and opened a document that I was previously working on (in the older version). I used to make background objects selectable in the inspector, the inspector has since changed and I cannot click on a textbox that I placed in the background. Therefore I cannot amend the text in the box nor move the box, I can't even highlight it. I have searched online and tried the "Make master objects selectable" and I still cannot do anything to it.
Any suggestions welcome.
Many thanks.
Lu

Kiko,
That control is now in the Arrange menu, Section Masters.

Copied L-objects not selected by PCH

we copied L-objects to a new PLVAR and number range. All objects and relations are shown in PP02 but logical database PCH does not select them.
Any ideas?

issue solved. We had to run RHPLOGI0.

How to remove background object in new pages?

How do I remove a background object on document issued from previous pages version?
Before I could tick 'background object are selectable' or something like this... Now I cannot find anything comparable!

Section Masters have static uneditable items on every page, really just watermarks.
I take this back. It won't work in Layout mode documents but in Word Processor documents:
1. Add a vertical rule with the Shapes tool.
2. Add either 3 text boxes or a 3 row table
3. Select all the above: Menu > Arrange > Section Master > Move Objects to Section Master/Make Master Objects Selectable
4. Insert a Section Break on each page. It has to be a Section break otherwise editing the Master Objects will repeat on previous pages.
This has been always the absolute worst part of Pages 5 and I really can't figure out how anyone at Apple thought this was good design.
This was all resolved 30 years ago in PageMaker, Ready-Set-Go, and several other DTP Apps. Not to mention it worked very effectively in Pages '09.
I admit the Captured Pages implementation in Pages '09 is less than obvious, but its function once set up is way faster than anything else I know.

Forecast profile not selected by forecast job

Hi Experts,
I am wondering why forecast job in background does not select the forecast profile, which I have assigned in interactive planning. It always takes the job profile even though in activity definition the checkbox (Always use job profile) is unchecked!?
My other question addresses assignment of CVC's to forecast profiles: for a specific CVC is there a way to figure out in which forecast profiles this CVC is included? Checking this in TX /SAPAPO/MSDP_FCST2 is very time consuming.
Many thanks for your support
Aban

MAPE error will be calculated regardless of strategy mainatained in profile. but make sure you have selected MAPE error calc method while creation of forecast profile.
MAPE( mean aboslute persentage error) is the best method to analyse error even SAP recommended to use this method to get best results.

BACKGROUND PROCESSING, REPORT NOT LOADING, "OBJECT NOT SET TO INSTANCE..."

Post Author: thecoffeemachine
CA Forum: .NET
I already posted this message in other Web sites, but I am almost getting crazy here and I need help:
HI:
The Web application I am testing was having several issues related to loading Crystal Reports. It was fixed and I do not know which of the 1000 things I did to fix it; but now it began, again, to have the same behavior after I had a conflict with another Web site that was in the same server.
The thing is that I had another virtual directory where resided a copy of the same Web app. for testing purposes/working with the Visual Studio. The reports were loading all fine, very fast, all perfect... And suddenly the assemblies of one Web site and the other began to "blend" together and..... well the same behaviors appeared again. I tried to copy the last stable backup and rebuild the Web app... but it did not work.
At the very first time that one requests the report, it shows without problem. At the second time it shows an error message related to "cannot submit to background processing", and sometimes "object not set to an instance.." ... and on the third time it just never shows up and the app. becomes unresponsive. I have to close the window and request the Web site again in another browser window. If I wish to see the report again I have to wait for hours until it shows it.
I am using Visual Studio 2003 and the Crystal Report version that was shipped with that Visual Studio version. I am working with Windows Server 2003 and SQL Server 2000. Below is the VB code:
    Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load             Me.SqlConnection1.Open()

I already have tried moving the Crystal Reports dll´s to the bin directory. ..... I have tried calling the Garbage Collector at page unload...I also have checked, inside the report, that the database is "up to date"... ... recycling the worker process of the IIS... etc...
I see that, in debbuging mode inside the Visual Studio, when the page loads the debbuging window shows a message notifying that the symbols related to the Crystal Reports dll's could not be loaded.
Should I need to modify the default properties of the database? I checked "database is case insensitive", "use indexes or server for speed".. I have tried checking and unchecking the box "performing grouping on server"
Oh by the way, my report has about 4 subreports in it. Each report loaded shows 1 or 2 pages.
ANY HELP WILL BE EXTREMELY APPRECIATED....

I use high contrast mode (am visually impaired); just upgraded to 8.0. When I open a new tab, the background does not high contrast, showing white until the page loads. Is there a setting that can be adjusted to fix this, or is this permanent?

I use Windows Vista, and I use the default Alt+Shift+PrtScn high contrast mode for white text on a black background. I only notice when I click a link that opens a new tab or open a tab via the mouse wheel that becomes the main tab. I can't switch tabs fast enough if I click a link that doesn't open as the main tab to tell if the problem persists. The duration of the non-high contrast background is only as long as the page takes to load. There does not seem to be much lag, but the lack of high contrast is painful enough that I have to close my eyes, so I'm not sure. On a related note, the new status information does not high contrast either, making it impossible for me to read.

Reports: Object not printing on 'ALL PAGES' as specified in Property sheet,

Oracle Reports 6.0.8.11.3
Object not printing on 'ALL PAGES' as specified in Property sheet, 'PRINT OBJECT ON' property.
page size orientation has been verified at main report layout node 'f4', it is set 11x8.5
Thanks for your help.

Got it.
Problem:
Heading included in Main body printing only on first page even though, PROPERTY, PRINT_OBJECTS_ON for all objects are set to:
ALL PAGES.
Solution: Select the parent frame of the objects that are printing on all pages and drag it down to include the frame that encloses the Heading information that is currently not printing.

XMP property for a page object not predefined and no extension schema...

In attempting to make PDF/A-1b files, I get the Preflight error "XMP property for a page object not predefined and no extension schema present."
Every page reports the same Trigger values:
=> Property exists in predefined schema (XMP 2004): is not true
=> Extension schema is present in XMP: is not true
By following the suggestions in the Acrobat 9 Help page "Edit document metadata" I can save existing metadata to an external .xmp file, but I cannot change the XMP metadata to solve the Preflight error.
I would be grateful for suggestions re how to solve the Preflight error.
Thanks,
Raphael

I am trying to reupload the pages of my site but it will not update after, instead it tells me 'Object Not Found!', please help?

I downloaded the pages of the website to another computer that I have access to, edited them and tried to re-upload them back to the website with the changes made. In doing this I went to see if the changes were viewable on the website and they were not. Whenever I try to "open" the newly uploaded pages it tells me "Object Not Found!". I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Please help!

The object Background is not currently available?

Trying to make a simple action/droplet.
Open document, duplicate Background layer, save, close.
Action works on a file I open. I make a droplet - and it can't find the Background?
Every time it says "The object Background is not currently available." Do I need to turn something off? Auto-Select Layer?
I used to make actions that could do things similar to this, why not anymore? CS4.

Background has to be the correct "Background"- this is a completely opaque base layer . Layer/new/background from layer.
If you actually want it to select the base layer, whether this is actually the 'Background' or not: Use the shortcut Alt Comma - this will record in your action and will NOT stop the action, regardless of situation.

Page background brightness not consistent using image fill

And I can't seem to figure out how to adjust it. Can anybody help? I've tried copying from the page itself, adjusting the brightness to match and re-importing to iweb, but that doesn't work either.

Thanks old toad! It's www.jeffreyjanger.com You'll see that the background on the home page is lighter than the background on all the other pages (which are consistent). I'd like them all to have the same brightness of the home page.
While we're at it, there's also something funky going on when the theme and background first load. I know my ISP is very fast and I can't imagine that they're such big files that they don't load faster.

ManagedAccounts.aspx Object not reference to object

SETUP: 2x SharePoint 2010 Servers (14.0.5130.5002); 1x SQL 2008 R2
I setup alot of managed accounts (about 10) and had them setup to automatically generate the new passwords. After doing this operation, i can no longer access the managedaccounts.aspx page. I get object not referenced to object. I read
a bunch of forums that said the farm account shouldn't be set to autogenerate passwords and it will cause the error. Next, what i did is setup a new AD account with static password and made it the farm account. I then deleted the old farm account
using powershell. However, even after doing this, i am still getting the same error. Any ideas? (everything else is working in the farm as far as i can tell.

Hello,
We might have to look into your .muse file to have a better look into the issue.
I tried it on a sample file but it worked fine for me.
Could you please e-mail your .muse file on [email protected] You can use Adobe SendNow service (https://sendnow.acrobat.com/) to send your file in case it is larger than 20MB.
Please do not forget to mention the link to this forum in your e-mail.
