Preview Causing text to be vertical

Hey, I'm using Preview to write notes for a class. When I close the file and reopen it later on all the text that I added in for the PDF is turn vertical. Is there to way to stop this, or a way to prevent this from happening?

If I were you, I would use Adobe Reader for pdf files. Preview doesn't do a great job on some pdf files.

Copying in Preview causes app to crash

All of a sudden copying in Preview causes the app to hang briefly then exit. Anyone else having this problem and any ideas on a workaround for copying .pdf text?

It depends on how the exe deals with the arguments. Some do honor escape characters, some not.....
Afaik, there is no difference regarding the System Exec in development environment vs. exe. But it is possible, that these are executed using different user rights?

Text Wrap disables vertical justification

Hi,
I am using InDesign CS3 5.0.4 on Windows XP Pro SP3.
I have the following problem: I have a text frame with vertical centrered text in it. Now when I put some object with text wrap near it, the vertical justification is just ignored (also blanked out in text frame options) and the text justifies at the top of the text frame. I think this is very annoying and I don't understand why this works the way it does. I remember this problem also ocurred in QuarkXPress but I hoped Adobe would do it better :)
I hope someone can explain this to me. Thanks.
Frank

How near is near? If the object is too close to the text for comfort it's going to need text wrap or there'll be a
collision. And vertical justification will be lost.
Does the object span the full depth of the text frame? If so, just ignore text wrap, narrow the text frame and take its
edge away from the object. If the object cuts into the text frame so some lines are wrapped and others are not, then the
vertical justification will be lost.
You could fiddle it by eye by breaking the text into three frames, with the text in the top frame aligned to the bottom,
the text in the middle and bottom frame aligned to the top. Then align the text in all the frames to the same baseline
grid (you can set a grid for each frame), and jiggle the depths appropriately.

Hi! How can I change the header text direction to vertical?

I have many columns with big names, but I need small space for body cells, and I want to check all the table at a view ... So I want to change the direction of the header texts to "left vertical" or "right vertical".

There are a couple discussion threads on this already. Fundamentally it is not a feature that Numbers supports. There are several work arounds but non of theeem are great:
Please see this thread:

Text missing from vertical view- Ibooks Author product

I made a book in ibooks author. In the horizontal view, it looks perfect. In the vertical view, large chunks of text are missing from the book semi at-random. If I attempt to insert the missing chunks of text into the vertical view, then when I switch back over to the horizontal view, I just get repetition where the text shows up twice. That means it is impossible to make the book look good both horizontally & vertically. Any idea how to solve?

Remember, layout in landscape and edit content in portrait.
Check in both.
If you like, you can disable Portrait in the Inspector.

Preview and Text Edit apps shut down in the moment i try to launch then (on Lion).

When i lauch one of this apps( Preview or Text Edit ) they shut down and an error window shows up, telling me to repport to Apple (what i have already done).
I want to know if i am the only one, and if this problem can be fixed.

After apparently loading Firefox, upon launching it I come to a screen which has a Google "fill-in-the-blank" in the center. The program did not go to its home page. When I attempted to delete the program so I could try again, I could not do so. Because the program thinks that Firefox is working properly it wants me to shut it down first. So, I am stuck with Firefox which is not working properly and not being able to remove it. Fortunately, I did not remove Internet Explorer. In any event, I can not send you a screen shot because I could never reach the home page.

Bridge 2014.2 won't preview AE text presets - just hangs

Mac 10.10.1.
As the title of the post says, Bridge 2014.2 won't preview AE text presets - just hangs. All programs up to date.
Thought maybe it was the presets, tried previewing the presets from CS6, nope. Bridge2014.2 hangs.
Can't try CS6 Bridge as I can't install this via cloud subscription.
This is a real pain in the butt.

Version of Bridge? OS? Are you up to date? Mine works just fine on OSX 10.10.1 and Bridge 6.1.0.115

Preview custom text presets for AE via Bridge

Hi there,
Can I preview custom text presets for After Effects via Bridge?
If so, can I control it somehow via scripting?
Thanks in advance.

I cant open some applications like preview or text edit after installing mavericks, i found a post that said im missing the Base.lproj files, this fixed my calendar application but i need the file for preview, can some one help?

Hi vampyro33,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If it seems like system files are missing and applications are quitting unexpectedly, I'd suggest reinstalling Mavericks:

How do you make superscripts and mathematics in Preview's text annotation?

When adding text annotations that include scientific notations, how do you make superscripts, e.g. "3.2 × 10^{-23}"?
Searching Help for 'superscript' turns up nothing, suggesting the command does not exist, as it does under Baseline etc. in iWork. Please tell me this is not the case! If it is, has the situation been improved in the new operating system?
A related issue: I wish to include other mathematics -- is there a way to include mathematics similar to LaTeX? Might Preview incorporate using latex code in the future, so I can easily type "\exp{-\lambda t}" etc and have the math appear?
I'm adding text annotations to PDF lecture notes in Preview, basically filling in blanks the instructor has left so students will pay attention in class, and these annotations include superscripts; I wish to format properly.
Thank you!

Once you have the circle shape displayed, long press on the border of the circle. Once it is highlighted, drag horizontally or vertically. This should allow you to distort the circle into an ellipse (or the square into a rectangle).
Hope that helps,

Email body not displaying but preview shows text.

Hi,
I have been experiencing a consistent problem with emails from one sender. When I open mail I see who the message is from and a preview of the first few words of text, if I then open this message it displays no text at all. If I forward the message all of the text becomes present.
Any ideas what might be causing this? It displays fine on Mobileme and Apple mail on the Mac, it just seems to be an iPhone bug.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Steve

This just started happening to me. I can see all my email and I can see a few lines of preview text. But the message will not display when I tap on it.
I deleted the IMAP account from the phone and then re-added it. Still didn't fix it.
Did a restart of the phone like other poster suggested and it fixed it. Still seems like a pretty weird bug.
IMAP server is Zimbra. iOS 4 on the phone.

Indesign CS3 : Inset spacing preview in text box not there anymore.

Hi!
In Indesign CS2, I could see a "preview" of the inset spacing of my text boxes in "Preview Mode (W)".
In Indesign CS3, I can't see it anymore unless I move my text boxes (the preview of the inset spacing of my text boxes shows only when I move the boxes).
This is bad, because I can't see really fast which boxes have inset spacing and which ones don't.
Please help me!
Thanks,
Chris.

Yes.
Normal Mode hides all of those things. But Preview Mode shows all of those things (unless otherwise selected in the "View" menu).
I need to see the inset spacing of my text boxes in Preview Mode without having to move them.
Here is an image of my text box in Preview Mode (guides, invisible characters, etc. are visible, but not the inset spacing): http://www.chris.lafacade.com/share/01.jpg
Here is an image of my text box in Preview Mode while I move my box. As you can see, the inset spacing shows: http://www.chris.lafacade.com/share/02.jpg
I need the inset spacing to show all the time in Preview Mode.
Thanks!
Chris.

IOS7: Is there any way to turn off previews of texts in the lock screen but allow previews in the notification center when the phone is unlocked?

In iOS6 text message previews would be shown in the notification center when the phone was unlocked and would just show up as "text message" or "imessage" in the lock screen...is there a way to change it so it's the same in iOS7? currently with "no preview" picked, whenever I swipe down in my notification center it just shows text messages with the contact name and not the message itself like it used to.

I've set up another user on my home Mac and left that one logged in. Now when I connect from work it asks me if I want to share the screen or log on virtually as my user. I think choosing the second option doesn't power up the screen.

Preview "Markup Text" not available.

I'm trying to highlight text in a PDF article within my Preview application (version 4.1). I have the proper permissions to do so, and I know how to do the text mark-ups. Unlike another article in which I'm able to highlight and underline text, for some reason this one won't allow me to first select any of the text in order to do the mark-ups.
Again, I checked under "Inspector-->Encryption" and it says as clear as day that I have permission to do all of these things. What's wrong with this picture??
Many thanks!!

I don't know how to create a new user that has reading AND writing permissions. By the way, I've checked out several other pdf files that I open in Preview: Some of them can be marked, and some of them can't! The encryption info from each one states that I can use the mark-up tools.
Could you please explain what you mean by a "local issue" and what you mean by a system issue? And, is there anything I can do about either situation?
Thanks so much.
If you create a new user in System Preferences->Accounts and the problem does not exist with that new user, then the problem is "local" meaning it's related to a specific user account (usually a corrupted .plist) but if the problem exists with the new user, then it's a problem with the OS and not a specific user.
Most files, libraries, etc have their system counterparts and separate versions for each user.
Most issues can be resolved by creating a new user and seeing if the issue occurs with that user.
You can create another admin user or a user with limited ability. I would suggest creating another admin account for the purposes you are interested in. You can simply remove the account once it is determined where the problem is.

Anchored Objects with text wrap, need vertical space

Hi. I'm a fairly new InDesign user and have just this past week learned about anchored objects, threading text frames, numbered lists, and some other fun options. So far InDesign has done most everything I need fairly elegantly. However, I have not been able solve one issue.
In my book I have numerous pages that have this issue; I'll just describe one case. On this page there are 4 graphics running down the right side of the page. These are not anchored graphics. They do have text wrap defined on the left side and bottom. There is text that wraps lovely on the left.
Each of these four graphics has a specific paragraph it needs to top align with. However, the text it aligns with may not take up as much vertical space as the graphic does. When I anchor each graphic with the paragraph it needs to align with, the four graphics overlap each other.
At the moment, to make it look right, I have placed each graphic individually and added a blank paragraph above each paragraph of text that should align with a graphic and use the Space Above of each blank paragraph to have it align with the graphic.
I'm not even sure what to search to try and solve this. I looked briefly into compound paths, but that didn't look like it would help.
I hope this is clear and thank you for any assistance at all.
Andrea

No problem. Click your cursor somewhere in the paragraph that ought to be aligned with the next image down, then run this Javascript.
It's not entirely accurate, as it uses the font size to do a minimal adjustment where it actually should use the font's cap height -- but you cannot get to that through scripting. This final adjustment is necessary because ID does know the baseline, and your first line ought to dip just below this to have the top of the first line aligned to the top of the image.
//DESCRIPTION:Align paragraph with image.

if (app.selection.length == 1 && app.selection[0].hasOwnProperty ("baseline") && app.selection[0].paragraphs[0].index > 0)

     pg = app.selection[0].parentTextFrames[0];

               dist = Math.abs(img[i].geometricBounds[0] - ypos);
               nearest = img[i];

          app.activeDocument.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits = prevm;
This image shows three paragraphs aligned with their respective images (it won't work on the first paragraph, but that ought not to be necessary anyhoo).
