Pdf creation - can it be set up so the background doesn't print, and text defaults to black?

Hi, I am creating a portfolio with a black background and white text. I am anticipating that most of the time it will just be viewed on screen, but in-case it gets printed, I want to know if there is a way that you can change the print view so that the background is not printable, and any text defaults to black. I have noticed when printing web pages this often happens, but not sure if it's possible through InDesign.
Any replies gratefully appreciated.

Here is a way that this can be done: Convert the background into a button, this will allow you to set the background to be visible in PDF, but doesn't print. Note: with the button selected, you can access the visibility options from the flyout menu of the button panel. Copy the frame containing the reverse text and convert it to a button and apply the same visibility (visible in PDF, but doesn't print). Paste text in same position, make it black and send it to back (or create a layer behind everything and place text here). The black text does not have to be a button. When you export, make sure to have interactive elements selected. In PDF, background and reverse type will be viewable, but allowing the black text to print.

No. I am able to use the other features such as underlining, highlighting, adding rectangles and oval and save those changes.

Can clone be set to sample the original targeted area with every click (regardless of location)?

Can the clone be set to sample the original targeted area over and over again regardless of x/y coordinates? it currently pins the original area to the result- it won't let me apply the targeted area in various locations (unless I target the specific area after every click). I am used to GIMP, where this is default... Thanks

Good day!
Do you mean »Aligned Sample« (in the Options Bar)?

Do you have a Mac or idevice for setting up the Express? It does require a later utility than is available for windows.
You might be able to setup with the v5 utility in windows but there is no guarantee.
You should use a simple name both for the base and the wireless. eg AEXgen2 base name and AEXwifi for wireless name.. that is if you get access.

Can I get rid of all the passwords in my phone, and just turn it on?

If you're referring to activation lock, no. If the phone is activation locked, you can not activate it without the credentials originally used to lock it.
Why don't you explain exactly what the problem is.
If you have a passcode set and don't want one, then set up Touch ID to make it faster for you to access the phone. Turning off the lock screen passcode entirely is not smart.

Hi bbanacki,
Please have a look at the following code:
Define your queries and then:
oAdvancedQuery.ReturnType=eSearchFile
oMyDataFinder.Results.MaxCount = iMaxNumberOfReturndElements
Call oMyDataFinder.Search(oAdvancedQuery)
Set oMyResults = oMyDataFinder.Results
If oMyResults.IsIncomplete Then
msgbox "The first " & str(oMyResults.Count) & " files found"
Else
msgbox str(oMyResults.Count) & " files found"
End If
for iLoop = 1 to oMyResults.Count
Cell.Text = oMyResults(iLoop).Properties("Name").Value
Cell.Text = oMyResults(iLoop).Properties("fullpath").Value
next
Greetings

How can I change the space between a checkbox and text all at one time? I have a lot of checkboxes in my form.

How can I change the space between a checkbox and text all at one time? I have a lot of checkboxes in my form.

Okay, I haven't found a way to add an extra space using Find/replace, but you might be able to add some text wrap to the check boxes that will push the text away from them.
Open Find/Replace and click the Object tab.
Click the Specify attributes to find button to the right of the Find Object Format: field.
Under Basic Attributes, choose Stroke and then the Black swatch (assuming the black swatch is applied to the strokes of your check boxes). If there are no other stand-alone objects in your form with a Black stroke, this should be all you need. (If there are Black strokes on your table cells, they will be ignored.)
Click OK
Click the Specify attributes to change button to the right of the Change Object Format: field.
Under Basic Attributes, choose Text Wrap & Other > Text Wrap > Type: > Wrap around bounding box (2nd button from left)
Under Offset, set a Right offset at the distance you'd like to add (I don't know what units you use, but the 3-5 points might work for your purposes...might take some trial-and-error to get it where you want)
Click OK
Click Change All

right click a blank area of the toolbar, click Customize. You'll see the printer icon there. Drag and drop it to where you want.
You can also find this option under View -> Toolbars -> Customize.

Hi Michela27,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you have content on your iPhone that isn't on your computer, the best thing is to use the advice in this article to transfer it to your new computer before setting up sync:

Hi silverk,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand the need for all of your calendars to be up to date across all of your devices and how frustrating it can be when they are not syncing as you would expect. In this situation I would suggest reading over and using the attached article for troubleshooting.

The last update for 10.4 took it to 10.4.11. To upgrade to 10.5 or 10.6 you have to buy the install disk for that OS. You can upgrade from 10.4 to 10.6 with no problems as long as you have at least 1gb of RAM. Any program that runs under 10.4 will run under 10.6.

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

Replace the screen yourself if you are up to it
