Preview Select Tool: Rest of the page "still there", hidden
Very regularly I use the select tool in Preview: I open a pdf page file1.pdf in Preview, use the select tool to select part of the page, and then copy it and create a new pdf from it (ctrl-c, ctrl-n) and save it to file2.pdf.
Today I discovered the following problem: Even though the new pdf file2.pdf looks like a cropped version of the original page, the original page "is still there". Usually it is invisible. But for example, if I open file2.pdf with Acrobat Professional, go to avanced -> print production -> crop page, then all of a sudden I get to see the whole original page of file1.pdf. However, when I just open file2.pdf with preview, or in the standard mode of acrobat, I just see the cropped part.
This is terrible, for two reasons:
* first, it means that confidential information that used to be in file1.pdf and seems to have disappeared in file2.pdf is still there and can be revealed by someone who knows how.
* it can create trouble with other applications, for example in latex (this is how I found the bug / feature in the first place).
So here are my questions:
* can I reveal in preview the "hidden parts"?
* is there any way to permanently delete these hidden parts?
* is there any way to ensure that they are not there at all if I use the select tool?
I'm using OS X 10.7.
Best regards, Ulrike
Jari,
i still think this is a bug, obviously the condition of the Process isn't used.

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.
Hi,

Different font in dropdown menu than on the rest of the page
Unfortunately, I can't direct you to the site, as it's work-related and password protected, but the problem is that I'm getting a much larger font in the dropdown menus on the site, than the rest of the page, so I'm not able to see all the choices in the dropdown. Fwiw, looks ok in IE8, and I don't see the problem on any other sites. Any guesses at a setting or something I might be able to try?
Thanks!Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

'''I was on a web page and i was typing, the next thing I know I hear a strange noise and the banner at the top of the page went left far left the rest of the page went right. Please help me!!'''Susanna ~ Welcome to the discussions. If you're referring to the navigation menu, the following is from iWeb's Help viewer...
To prevent a page from appearing in the navigation menu:
1. In the sidebar (on the left side of the iWeb window), select the page you don’t want to appear in the navigation menu.
2. If the Page Inspector isn’t open, click Inspector in the toolbar (or choose View > Show Inspector), and then click the Page Inspector button.
3. In the Page pane, deselect “Include in navigation menu.” -
I am trying to copy and paste a story from a blog. I can only view the first page on the Pages app. How do I see the rest of the pages?
Thank you. That helped in the first step. I was able to copy text onto multiple pages.
Now I can't get the pictures to copy. How do I get my pictures to copy?
Also once the blog page is on pages, how do i make changes to it?
This my story and the page I am trying to copy.

Template is not updating the rest of the pages
This is odd. I have a template, from which I created all child pages in this website and now want to change the navigation to add a new drop-down menu structure under "cases."
Here's the website: http://ghostsofnewengland.org/
Here's the template: http://ghostsofnewengland.org/Templates/goners.dwt
From the template, you'll see that I have changed some commented-out sections in the code. Then I saved the .dwt file, it did not ask and did not update the rest of the pages in the website.
Normally, I work with templates as a fast way to handle just about any change to navigation and other commonly-available sections on a website. This is the first time I've seen Dreamweaver simply fail to update pages (or even ask) after a template change.
Anyone have a quick way to get Dreamweaver to wake up here?
-Mark HollisMy advice is to exit DW, reboot, open only your template and make a minor change (add a comment someplace) save and update child pages. If that doesn't work, then give Adobe a call because something isn't right.

How do I put page number at the center of the bottom of page one and the rest of the page numbers at top right corner?
Put a section break at the bottom of page 1
Then insert your page number in the footer of page 1.
Go to page 2 and click in the body of the text;
Inspector > Layout > Section > uncheck Use Previous Headers & Footers > click in Header on page > insert > Page Number

Videos loading BEFORE the rest of the page!
I just published my site with the new iWeb 08. The pages are loading very slowly for people because it's loading my video clips FIRST, then the rest of the page. Is there anyway to have the page load first, and THEN the video clip? Is there a setting or something that I'm missing?
Thanks for any responses!Here's a trick that worked with my Podcast page and entries.
I noticed that if you create a new text box on the page it will load before the media files. So if you click on the text box that you want to load before a media file and Duplicate it (Cmd+D) it will lay right over the top of it without anybody realizing it. And it will load first. Of course, the font suffers a little, but it accomplishes the desired effect. In case the duplicated text box isn't aligned sufficiently after the page loads, give the overlaying text box a background color that is the same as the page. That way the latent text box doesn’t even need to be visible after the page fully loads.
This takes a bit of fudging around and re-publishing, (checking it on different browsers is highly recommended), but until Apple fixes the bug it seems like the easiest way to keep people entertained with reading while they wait for the media file to load. -
Anyway to delete the middle section of a page so that the rest of the page content moves up?
Hi, I'm new and in need of help
I want to delete the middle 3"s of a PDF page so that the rest of the page content (pics/text) moves up? Would Acrobat Pro let me do this?
TIA!First thing to know is Acrobat is not a word processor or page layout program. While it has many editing capabilities heavy text or layout editing should always take place in the documents' parent application (i.e. Word, InDesign, Quark, FrameMaker, Apple Pages, OpenOffice, etc...)

Ap Div - How to make them move in browser with the rest of the page?
I have designed a site, but have placed an ap div "enrol now" button over an image, and when I view it in my browser, the ap div button does not move with the rest of the page.
http://www.moreefamilydaycare.com/HOME_02test.html
The "view our gallery" ap div is working.
Please help.
(you can see where the enrol now button should appear as I have put it in the main image pic aswell as a guide.)APDivs are very tricky to work with especially if use them inappropriately as a primary layout method.
Here is why:

Rec'd an email on my iPad, however not completely downloaded, therefore clicked the bottom to download the rest of the page. Now my iPad is frozen on a nice blue-grass texture page!
Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo. -
"I did fresh restore, reset all setting and reboot the issue still there. I hope Apple don't forget us to solve this issue soon
Oh I've found it meanwhile! The is a 2nd post! So never mind this one! I think lawyerhusain understood he has to let Apple know, if he wants them to know and the technical thing will continue with the 2nd post!

once application installed in iphone, the apps still there in apps store--> purchased. So i want to remove that one
Only the carrier to which the iPhone is locked can unlock it. In
this case, you must work with Telus. If they have a pay as you go
plan, activate the iPhone on Telus that way and then after
you meet whatever requirements Telus has, stop using Telus
and move the iPhone to Virgin. Or sell the iPhone to someone
who can use it on Telus.
Telus is the only one who can unlock that iPhone. -
I was downloading itransmition on my iPad when done downloading there's a shadow of the app still downloading as if I am downloading again. Then I uninstall the app by clicking the 'x' but the shadow still there and I can't get rid of it.
Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

Crazy selections with Preview "Select" tool.
I recently installed Lion OS and Adobe Acrobat X as default pdf viewer. Then I prefered Preview better and reset Preview to be the default pdf viewer. Now I cannot use the "Select" tool to copy-paste a piece of a pdf to Word--it copies a random part that matches the size but it is not my selection.
Any hints on how to solve this issue? I really need to copy pdf parts to Word.
Thanks.Hi and thanks for prompt reply.
Deleting the preference file did work but only because it reset the app to the defaults.
For some reason I had View>PDF Display>Media Box selected (perhaps I selected it when I did not have a crop set so it appeared to do nothing).
If I choose View>PDF Display>Crop Box instead it shows the image cropped and so appears to have copied only the selection - but has still copied the full page and so the view can be reset back from the cropped extent to the full page even after saving the new document as it saves the full document and the crop info - this does not seem logical and may result in info that was not supposed to be sent to someone being visible - often I crop an image to send only the relevant part to someone.
The only way to force it to create a pdf that contains only the selected items is to print the cropped image to a pdf.
I suggest that when only part of the image is selected and copied to the clipboard Preview should create a new document that is the extent of cropped image only if rather than copying the entire page and also the crop info.
Thanks & regards,
Steve
