Preventing Snap-Back with Ghost Text

I have created an Adobe Livecycle ES4 form with expandable textfields. Almost all works fine, except for 1 problem. When the user has a textfield filled with pages of content (words) that run a number of pages (e.g. 4 pages) the form will snap-back to page 1. When the user clicks into the textfield (e.g. page 3) to edit a word or sentence on page 3, the document will send them back to the original page that the textfield started on (e.g. page 1). This snap-back could be any number of pages previous to their location, but is based on the textfields starting location. The user must then scroll down after the snap-back to the location they wanted to edit. (see url for demonstration of the problem)
https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/a3d86afb-13cb-4891-81d4-bf9671f9ebe7
The textfield with the snap-back problem uses the "enter" "exit" and "form-ready" events for ghost text. After some work I have realized the "enter" event is what is causing the snap-back. When the user clicks into the textfield I would like the ghost text to disappear, only reappearing if the field is left empty. How do I script the "enter" event to prevent a snap-back from occurring when the textfield is multiple pages. Any suggestions?

See if using the x properties of the object you are dragging helps...
origX = choice_1.x;
origY = choice_1.y;
and later...
choice_1.x = origX;
choice_1.y = origY;

I recently upgraded our iMac to Yosemite OS and now have a problem with Photoshop Elements 11: the move tool selects an image or text layer, but then I try to drag the selection somewhere else on the page and it snaps back to the original location, however the arrows will move it OK. Also I cannot drag the selection to another photo in the photo bin as before.

Trying to decide about a case or getting Ghost Armor on back with Apple screen cover for new ipad.

I got a new ipad on Friday and now I am trying to decide whether to get a case or get Ghost Armor on the back with a Smart Cover for the front. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am loving my ghost armor. In addition to a plain clear look, you can pick a color for the back of your iPad

I was in a chat box with skype and I clicked on the link to copy the text but it came back with "can't copy becuse not permitted in your browser"

I was in a chat box with SKYPE and I clicked on the link to copy the text but it came back with "can't copy because not permitted in your browser"
I can highlight copy and paste from other web screens with no problem.
The chat window however doesn't give access to the lines that have scrolled past the window so highlighting the text won't work. Other chat windows grab the entire text when the user clicks on the copy link or icon.
I just installed firefox and haven't tried other chat windows to see if the problem could be repeated.

Use the keyboard if the buttons on the web page aren't working.
* Copy: Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Insert
* Paste: Ctrl+V or Shift+Insert
* Cut: Ctrl+X or Shift+Delete

Can't send photos with a text message

Every time I try to send a photo from my Camera Roll with a text message it thinks about it for an interminable time then drops leaving an exclamation mark next to the message. It used to be ok but stopped about a week ago. Any ideas anyone?

You're not alone! I have been searching for resolving this problem but I still have the problem.
Things you might want to check is that MMS is "on". Get to this by settings- messaging.
Check that "cellular data" is on.
try to power the iPhone off for a few minutes, then turn back on.
The only thing I have not tried is to reset the network. What I have read is that it wil not affect contacts, media, music. Tap settings- general, then scroll to the botton and tap reset, then tap reset network settings.
I alo wanted to mention that I have no problem sending a photo in an sms/mms message to other ios devices. The photo and text goes through. It's just with other reciepients that have a different device.
I also have Verizon as the carrier and I tried the *228 to program. My phone is also supplied by an enterprise, my work, and reading this Apple troubleshooting, the APN (access network), could have something to do with it on the settings or configuration of the server.

How Do You Make an Image Flow with the Text?

Hello all,
I am using CS4 InDesign on Windows Vista. I am fairly new to Indesign but try to do my research and homework well before asking what I hope is not a really dumb question.
I am writing a book of approx. 350 pages that is an illustrated encyclopedia of 156 plants and their oils.
Each 2 page spread is a single entry for a plant. The graphics frames on each spread are identical in size, position and styles for a consistent look throughout the document.As you can see (hopefully) each page is a single column. See screenshot below
In order to overcome my first problem of positioning and sizing the graphics frames uniformly, I created the master pages with the graphics placeholders sized, positioned and formatted to my liking. This worked wonderfully and I placed all of my 300+ graphics by simply over riding each frame.
Then in my editing I decided to add another 2 page spread somewhere in the middle of this fairly large document.
What a NIGHTMARE. The text predictably shifted but now ALL of my graphics were no longer associated with the corresponding text! Arrrgghhh.I had not anticipated this behavior (used MS Word for 15 years) or I would have done something different.
3 hours later I finished re -"placing" the images associated with the correct text.
I researched the help file and found out about the neccessity of anchoring graphics to text. I have read through the threads in this forum, followed links to "indesignsecrets.com/make-an-image-flow-with-the-text" and " Working with anchored objects by Anne Marie Concepcion"
My concerns are this.
An inline graphic places the graphic back onto your text layer for some reason ( Previously my graphics each had their own layer)
Not wanting to start (again) from scratch with my graphics I converted them to inline/custom anchored objects.
But to select then cut then paste every pre existing graphic to anchor it inline seems to be cumbersome and counter intuitive although the top smaller graphic did position well and the text seemed to wrap ok.
When I placed the larger bottom graphic on the left facing page using custom positioning I was not able to get the text to wrap at all.( The in line anchoring did not seem to allow for positioning on anything but the 'Y' axis).
It seems that there would be a simpler way to place text and graphics where you want them and have them associate and flow together (or not) when you want them to and have text wrap easily around an anchored object without keyboard gymnastics. It would seem that the concept of a certain graphic being associated or linked with certain text would not be an unusual concept in desktop publishing.
Am I missing something?
Can you place an anchored graphics frame on the master page with your desired options?
How would this be done if possible?
Is there any other way (i.e grouping) to keep graphics associated with the desired text so that it flows together if extra pages are added?
Is the fact that my graphics frames are on my master pages responsible for my text wrap difficulty? (I have text wrap enabled on my master pages)
Are there any settings, redundant or otherwise, I need to be aware of?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions or directions
L.N.

Hello Again,
Thank You Bob but I am still a little fuzzy on this. I have already created object styles for the graphics frames. For instance the small graphic underneath the heading (Its a drop of oil) has an object style applied. Now I checked and it has the anchored object options checked in the style dialog box. When I reapply the style to the next similar graphics nothing happens. It is still not anchored. Do I need to create a new style based on "nothing" add my effects plus the anchoring options? Basically start over. If thats what I need to do thats OK. As to your instruction that object styles could accomodate this anchoring thing...thats what I thought too but somehow I can't get it to work. See object style dialog box screenshot below:
For the larger graphic on the bottom of the left facing page. I still cannot get any text to wrap. In the screenshot example the text describing this particular plant doesn't go to the bottom of the page so the wrapping issue on this page is moot. However I have some entries where the body of the description is more involved and does go to the bottom of the page and the text WOULD need to wrap around the plant (larger ) graphic.
Hi there Harb, Yes I found out early on that object styles can't apply size (that would be on my wish list for sure) That is why I found that creating my graphics frames on the master page with the correct size, effects and positioning tickled me so much. Can you believe I originally went through and MANUALLY resized and repositioned each and every 300+ graphics in this book but it still wasn't right. I'm nothing if not persistent. (Now if I could just get my grown sons to pick up their socks!)
Anyway the master page graphics frames idea would be perfect if I could get the images to anchor in their respective spots on the master page as well.
For your second suggestion. I am not clear about why I would need to break the threads of each spread so that each spread is a seperate article. Is the threading issue the thing that is causing my text to move on leaving their associated graphics behind? If so how do I go about doing this?
So to recap:
1. I need to know if I can modify my object style or recreate from scratch with the anchoring option (as I said it didn't work)
2. Can't get text to wrap around the Custom anchored graphic at bottom of page at all
3. Im not clear on the breaking the threading on the spreads
I am willing to go back through and start from scratch (new master pages, styles etc ) if neccesary. This book is the culmination of 7 years of research and artwork.Basically the project is DONE. Now if I can just format it correctly.
I can't thank you both enough for your time, suggestions, expertise and patience.
Thanks again

Is there a way to make comments "move to the back", behind the text and lines?

Is there a way to make comments "move to the back", behind the text and lines?
I am using Acrobat X Standard to "highlight" lines using comments lines at 12pt width and 50% opacity on DWG files converted to PDF. The opacity setting makes the text and lines readable behind the highlighting, but the colors do not print well. Moving the highlighting behind the existing text and lines would allow me to use 100% opacity with more vibrant colors.
Before, we highlighted by hand, but those colors do not scan or copy well. Digitizing the highlighting is cleaner, and can be edited without starting over. The "comments" lines can be applied by Acrobat Reader, Acrobat Standard, and Acrobat Pro, so there's an advantage. Even more important is that the average file size of an 11x17 print that is highlighted and scanned in color is 1000 KB, while doing it this way, they tend to be 100-150 KB, and the text remains searchable. If there's another system that people use, I'm open to that instead. I haven't looked in to doing the highlighting in AutoCAD.
Naturally, everything I'm doing is protected, and cannot be shared, sorry.
Thanks.

No, that's not really an option.

New upgrade has created Window mis-skewing, requiring resizing to snap back into position.

Good Morning.
I have two issues currently facing me with Firefox. Using a (Ver. 10.6.8) iMac OSx, the first, and more recent (and most annoying) is that since my latest upload of Firefox upgrades (to 5.0.1), all new windows opened show a mis-skewed (out of alignment) window content… until I manually perform a window resizing. Which, almost as soon as I make any movement on the resizing element (lower-right hand portion) of the screen, everything within the window snaps back to full screen size (fully contained/presented); however, I have to do this with each new Window opened???
Secondly, is that quite some time ago as I was learning my (then) new iMac, I allowed for a Toolbar to embed within Firefox, and in attempting to remove somehow made it appear a second time; I have lived with this since. However, as long as I have your attention, I am going to try to kill two birds with one stone as it were, as I wish to remove BOTH of these annoying tool bars… and not just minimize them by way of their tools.
If necessary, I can screen capture whatever you may need to assist in this effort.
Hopefully, this is pretty clean in explanation, but if not… shout!
Thanks for the time by the way…

How to align text paragraphs with caption text boxes

Hello,
Im moving from QuarkXpress to InDesign, and Im setting up styles, templates, libraries, etc...
The issue Im having is that when I add an image with a text caption box in one of the columns, the text that wraps around the caption text box, no longer aligns to the other columns, its off. I can't get it to realign to the other columns.
Any help is appreciated.

1. Is the leading of your caption the same as the body text? If not, you have to choose to align the top of the first line (slightly jarring) or bottom of the last line.
2. It appears to me you have the caption vertically centred. That will make it far harder.
To make it feasible to do manually, you can set the caption box text frame to start at offset "Leading", move the text frame to start exactly at the bottom of the image, and make sure all your images' heights are multiples of your leading. Group the caption frame and the caption box to make moving around easier.
"Align to baseline" would be a good option, except that I find it too constricting on the entire rest of my designs (viz. the already observed "jump per entire line only"). One way around that is to set up your baseline grid to half, 1/3, or 1/4 of your leading. That way you have at least some control left over inter-paragraph whitespace, and you can still manually drag your images and have them snap to the closest "actual" baseline.

Can't replace old text with new text in a text box

Hello everyone. This is my first time posting in the forum, so I'm hoping this works out well. We recently purchased a few copies of Adobe Acrobt X for the office, and one of the users is having an issue with editing text in a field. She can type new text into a box, but when she goes back to replace that text with something else, the old text stays. New text appears on top of the old text, and you can see both. Is there a way to simply highlight the old text, delete it, and then replace it with new text? Thanks in advanace for your assistance. I understand this might be confusing, so let me know if you have questions.
Thanks,
Dan

You have to use the text touchup tool (there is a new name like text edit tool in AA X) to edit such text. It sounds like you are using the typewriter tool or something like it. Text editing in Acrobat is not for the weak at heart. It can be very frustrating and is not recommended except for very minor changes. If at all possible, you should edit the original and just recreate the PDF.

How to save as AI file in same location with all text curves?

Hi Guys,
I am also looking for a script. Here are the details....
I do have lot of AI files (from different paths), which are completly work done. So I just need to make them (all files) a copy with all text curves in the same path should create folder name called 'LC'.
From the given path all the files should save as to 'LC' folder. ('LC' folder needs to create at the same location and original file should stay as it was, so no changes in original/source file)
While making curves we must remember that layers contains lock. So have to unlock all the layer and make curves and lock them back.
While save as the all files in the file names should add '_LC' at last. For example: file name is 'xyzxyz.ai'. It should come 'xyzxyz_LC.ai'
FYI: Using Adobe CS4...
if you help me that would be really grateful...
Thanks in advance..
Kind Regards

How can I set up a List of Figures with extra text?

I'm writing my Art History dissertation, which includes a substantial group of figures at the end. My advisor has requested that I caption the images, but also provide a List of Figures before the actual images begin. I've got it figured out this far--I'm using the Table of Contents feature to automatically number the captions and then pull the caption text back to the List of Figures.
Here's the snag: I need to include attribution information about where I found the images I'm using, but only in the list of figures. My advisor specifically requested that I not include this information in the captions as he felt it cluttered the images. How can I include small amounts of text (for example "After Jones 1987, Fig. 22") for hundreds of images in the List of Figures without putting this info in the captions themselves?
Of course, just typing the info into the List of Figures doesn't work--as soon as the list is updated the extra text gets erased. I've been playing around with hidden layers, but when I create a new hidden layer with text frames the numbering of the original layer is disturbed. Any ideas about how to preserve the numbering and include the extra information in the List of Figures without adding it to the visible caption? I'd be very grateful for any help.

Perhaps at the end of your caption, in a [None] coloured text, 0.1 pt size? Don't put it into a separate paragraph, 'cause you'd need to pick this up as well for your TOC. To edit this invisibly small text, you can use the Story Editor.
(And I got quite far suggesting making it Conditional Text, which you would normally hide, having it show only when you generated the List of Figures, before a few dormant neurons woke up and demanded attention.
'Course it would work -- you would get the extra text in your list, and if you hide the conditional text again, your document would reverse to "normal" state. However, making the conditional text visible may cause your text to reflow, and thus your regular Contents would be okay but the List of Figures -- generated with more text in your document! -- could well be off by a few pages ...)

Dropped in photos to move/stay with the text?

Hello all,
I'm writing up a long document detailing certain events, and I'm placing photos from my iPhoto library in it as I go. However, I'm also going back to the beginning and adding things on there. Whenever I do that, my photos stay but the text moves further and further on, thus my photos get "delinked" per-se. Is there a way I can gang the photos to the text? Maybe making the text an object? I'm a Final Cut guy, so I'm hoping that some of you are Pages people.
Thank you,
-Brian

Brian,
With the Wrap Inspector open, select one of your photos. Is it Inline or Floating? To lock your photos to the text so that the photos stay with the text as you add text above, you want your photo objects to be set to Inline. Inline objects have limited position options, whereas Floating objects can be set virtually anywhere you like but they aren't locked to the text.

Is there a way to convert outlined text back into live text?

I have an Illustrator CS3 doc in which all text has been converted to outlines. (I wish I had an intelligent answer to the question of why I don't have the original doc with live text, but...) I remember seeing a post some time ago that explained how to change the outlines back into live text, which may have involved making a pdf or something, but I can't find that post anywhere in the Adobe forums. Does anyone know how to do this, if it can even be done? Thanks!

I had to test it. Yes, you can use Acrobat Pro to OCR the text. First you'll need to rasterize the outlined text in AI (at 300dpi bitmap) and save as PDF. Then open in Acrobat and go to "Documents>OCR Text Recognition" to convert the image to text. Click "Edit" in the "Recognize Text dialog window and select "Formatted Text & Graphics" to view only the text in Acrobat. Save and re-open in AI. The text will be editable, but broken into individual words. You can cut multiple words to the clipboard then click with the text tool and paste, to merge the text into a contiguous sentence, but you'll lose the spaces. Exporting as text from Acrobat may be a better route.
