Problem with gradient annotator
Why does the gradient annotator dissapear when I drag it over an object. When I drag it it changes the gradient without giving me the chance to edit it. Just goes away. It used to work correctly but not now. Don't get it.
The annotator only works on fills, you aren't trying to use it on a stroke are you?

Having problems with gradient fill.
Having problems with gradient fill. Not sure how to select the gradient circles between outer circles consistently especially when there are more than 3 colors.
Hi,
It should be somewhat easier to try that out in landscape orientation. Does that help?

Problem with controlling Annotations from Excel VBA
Hi,
I have a PDF document that has plenty of sticky notes attached to it. These sticky notes have been added by multiple authors on all pages of the document. I am trying to import the contents of these sticky notes, their author and the page number to an excel spreadsheet. I am using Excel 2007 and Acrobat Professional 9.0.
This is the code that I am currently using to import the sticky notes, but the problem that I am facing is that when I run the macro -
Same sticky note contents, author and page numbers are imported multiple times
Not all sticky notes are imported, only some of them appear in the final excel spreadsheet
When I compare the number of sticky notes to that in the original PDF file, the number is correct. But the content is repeated content and that is the reason why only some of the sticky notes are imported.
This is an activity that I need to do on regular basis and the number of sticky notes that I need to import to excel may range between 100 to 200. It is really difficult to do this task manually, so an excel VBA macro could prove really helpful.

The code seems fine – nothing jumping out at me.
You can also look at using the JSObject methods and trying this via the JavaScript stuff – that will give you more access to the Annotation information…

Hello,
I am having a problem with gradients in a Captivate 2
project. I have a lot of images in a presentation that use
gradients. Once the movie is published, the gradients are looking
very banded. It almost looks like the images are being converted to
gif's. I have also noticed this with photos that have a lot of
colors in them. I set the jpg quality to 100%, but that didn't seem
to have any effect.
Is there a settings I am missing? Any help with this would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
- JasonHi Jason
Normally, we suggest that folks remove gradients from window
title bars. However, assuming you know this and it's your
application that is displaying the gradient (for example, an image
inside Microsoft Paint) you might try looking in the following
places and tweaking as necessary:
* Slide Properties - Slide Tab - Quality drop-down.
* Project > Preferences... > Preferences tab > JPEG
image quality
* If this is a full motion video clip where you see a
camcorder icon on the Film Strip - Options > Recording
Options... > Full Motion Recording tab > Video color mode

Problems with gradient tool bar not remaining on object applied in illustrator cc
Hello,
when applying a gradient to a rectangle i will get the gradient tool, click on the left half of the object i want it applied to and while holding down drag a line to thew right hand side of the object. the problem the arises when i release the mouse as the gradient bar that has been shown while holding down then disappears. this applies the gradient but the issue is that all gradient editing has to be done on the gradient window as a posed to live on the object slowing the work flow.
I am not sure what I'm doing wrong but help would be much appreciated.
Kind regards
JosephJust for the sake of learning how to use the tool i start with drawing a rectangle then click and drag the gradient tool across the box. i see the gradient line appear but when i release the mouse the gradient line disappears
i end up witha box with a gradient but all my editing has to be done in the gradient box as shown in this screen shot:

Message Driven Bean: problem with @RunAs annotation
I am having a problem using the @RunAs annotation in a message driven bean.
I would like the code in my onMessage() method to be executed with a specific role/user, so I want to use the @RunAs annotation to achieve this.
I am running weblogic 10.0.
I have created the following in weblogic console:
- Group "TestGroup"
- User "TestUser", member of "TestGroup"
- Global Role "TestRole", role condition: "Group : TestGroup"
The MDB:
package be.cegeka.test.mdb;
import javax.annotation.Resource;
import javax.annotation.security.RunAs;
import javax.ejb.ActivationConfigProperty;
import javax.ejb.MessageDriven;
import javax.ejb.MessageDrivenContext;
import javax.jms.Message;
import javax.jms.MessageListener;
@MessageDriven(
mappedName = "testQueue",
name = "TestMDB",
activationConfig = {
@ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destinationType", propertyValue = "javax.jms.Queue")
@RunAs("TestRole")
public class TestMDB implements MessageListener {
@Resource
private MessageDrivenContext mdContext;
* {@inheritDoc}}
public void onMessage(Message msg) {
System.out.println("Handling message for user "
+ mdContext.getCallerPrincipal().getName());

It seems as though the @RunAs annotation has no effect. Although I specified the role TestRole (mapped to the user TestUser), the code still seems to be executed by user anonymous.
Am I missing something?
Any help would be much appreciated! I've been looking at this poblem for quite a while now.Both beans (the MDB on WLS 10 and the session bean on WLS 8.1) use container managed transactions.
For the MDB I do not explicitly set the transaction attributes, so it should default to container managed transactions.
For the stateless session bean I have specified the following in the ejb-jar.xml file:
<ejb-jar>
<display-name>Weblogic8Service</display-name>
<enterprise-beans>
<session>
<ejb-name>Weblogic8Service</ejb-name>
<home>be.cegeka.rszv.test.session.Weblogic8ServiceRemoteHome</home>
<remote>be.cegeka.rszv.test.session.Weblogic8ServiceRemote</remote>
<ejb-class>be.cegeka.rszv.test.session.Weblogic8ServiceBean</ejb-class>
<session-type>Stateless</session-type>
<transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>
</session>
</enterprise-beans>
<assembly-descriptor>
<container-transaction>
<method>
<ejb-name>Weblogic8Service</ejb-name>
<method-name>*</method-name>
</method>
<trans-attribute>Required</trans-attribute>
</container-transaction>
</assembly-descriptor>
</ejb-jar>So as far as I understand it the transaction starts at the MDB (upon receival of a message). The transaction for the remote call to the stateless session bean (in the onMessage() of the MDB) is included in the transaction of the MDB and gets committed when the onMessage() method finishes and the transaction of the MDB itself gets committed.
Correct me if I'm wrong here. -
Problem with Gradient Layer and second layer with opaque object
I opened a new document with a white background. I then used the gradient tool under the paint bucket to make a blue sky fading to white. I then created a second layer to put a sun in with diffuse edges, so as to not have just a round yellow ball. Problem is, the yellow sun comes out fine on its' transparent layer, but when I turn on the gradient layer, it gets a blue tinge from the sky and is really only half visible. An example is below. Please help. Thanks in advance.
I'd guess, without seeing your layers palette, that your sun image is partially transparent and as such some of the blue sky is mixing with it, yielding the green color you see.
It really boils down to what you want it to look like. If you're shooting for more or less a "child's" style drawing of a big yellow ball, make the brush you draw the sun with have a harder edge, and paint it in so that the central pixels are opaque. Make sure the sun's above other layers that could influence the result.
It might be good if you screen grabbed your layers palette and posted it.

Problems with gradient feather when saving as pdf
I have an InDesign CS4 file which has a high-quality grayscale jpg with a CMYK jpg on top of it. The later has a gradient feather effect applied to it. When I export to pdf, some people (I believe with an older version of Reader or Preview) cannot view the gradient. From a computer like this, it prints the most transparent part of the gradient as the entire gradient, so I think it's still there but very hard to see.
I haven't been able to test it in Reader because I can't find an older version, but I know it doesn't work in an older version of Preview (3.0.9 is what I tried). However, everything I've tried hasn't worked—I've tried changing the Transparency Blend Space to RGB, Exporting as Acrobat 4.0 (which works but looks horrible); I've exported as Press Quality and High Quality Print, and played with profile settings. I've also made sure that all my graphics and profiles match as CMYK, because originally they didn't. The only thing that works is if I open it in my version of Mac Preview (5.0.2) and then Save As a pdf from it. But I'm afraid the colors and perhaps quality are affected in so doing. I've also googled this to no avail.
Has anyone else had this problem? Can someone help?
This is what is should look like.
This is what it does. Notice the color is still in the "contact us" (and all the colors on p.2 are fine).What version campatibility for Acrobat do you have selected in your export settings? Changing to Acrobat 4 will make it compatible with 4 and later, but you'll wind up falttening the the transparency and heve nasty looking white stitching lines all over the place that will show on screen and print on most desktop devices, not to mention a loss of interactivity, I think.
Reader is free... Tell these people to download an upgrade to the most recent version that will run on their systems rather than trying to dumb down your file. -
I contacted Adobe because I began having difficulty using
the Gradient Tool in Photoshop CC 2014 which had previously worked properly. As I explained to technical support when I
tried to generate a gradient a progress bar would appear, and at first would
begin to fill rather quickly, but at 75% of completion it would slow to a
crawl. Apparently, eventually it would
complete, as a gradient did appear in my image, but the completion time was probably
15 or 20 minutes.
Adobe technical support first had me restart Photoshop and
not load my plug-ins which they thought were perhaps conflicting with the
gradient filter. I followed this
direction but, after doing so, the problem persisted.
Then they asked that I restart Photoshop and delete my Preferences. I was hesitant lose my preferences and asked
if I could copy and rename the file containing my preferences before deleting
it. They directed me to its location,
but I couldn’t find the file where it should have been located. So I elected not to follow their suggestion
of deleting my preferences to see if this would resolve the issue with the
Gradient tool.Which operating system are you using?
On windows you need to enable Show hidden files and folders in the Tools>Folder Options to see the photoshop cc 2014 preferences folder
On mac os press the Option key in the Finder Go menu and click on Library to see the user Library

Problem with gradients imported to indesign
Hi all.
I have a number of illustrator files not particuarly complex with some gradients.
In indeisgn the preview looks fine.
But once exported to PDF the gradients seem to have reversed. So where it was most purple to white its now mostly white to purple, and nothing I do seems to get round this apart from rasterising it in illustrator which I would prefer not too.
Is there any tips for this I assume bug?Hopefully to express my problem here are attached some images.
IMage one is the original as it looks in illustrator
The second is how it exports to PDF from illustrator on default settings. Also from indesign it look like this on highest quality PDF settings
The third is how it looks exported from indeisgn at lowest pdf settings. The same file.
As you can probably appriciate this is doing my head in. And this image is rasterised, its not the original gradient, which does exactly the same thing anyway.
I tired all settings I could find in indesign, but I think its a problem of illustrator but I don't know what.
Sadly this forum does not appear to support image tags so they are named 1-3

Problem with @Column annotation
Hi Everybody !
I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3.4 and I'm building an application with EJB30 and ADF with JSF.
In my entity I put:
@Column(nullable = false, updatable = false, insertable=false)
private Timestamp dat;
The problem is that I can put null value for this column and I can update this column also. Can somebody knows why ?
Regards,
MiljanApologies, I should have clarified. I think nearly every XML file in existence uses that header. The one I'm referring to should look something like this:
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"
version="2.4"> or this:

xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
version="2.5"> I'm not 100% sure of annotation support prior to version 2.4. Keep in mind I may be completely off the mark. That you are getting read/writes to the database implies that either you do have annotation support or that it's pulling the mappings from somewhere else.

Problem with Gradient Noise in "save as PDF"
I'm trying to save a design as a pdf, using the high quality print/illustrator default options. The output is generating a bunch of noise in a corner of a couple of gradients, and also some line noise where different gradients meet. I'll include a screen shot of the pdf exported as well as a jpg exported to illustrate the difference. PDF export is the only one that's generating this noise, everything else I try works fine. I've tried changing presets, adjusting the transparancy flattner settings, leaving appearances live as well as expanding them. Nothing seems to work. Any help is GREALY appreacited as I'm trying to turn this file over ASAP!
Here's an isolated piece of the AI, I exported to confirm that it has the same problem. I put the ai and pdf up on my server:

Problem with Gradient Background
When I publish my code for the gradient background and view
it on the web I generate a 15 pixel gap between the stage and the
tab bar on Firefox. So when viewed you see the tab bar, then the
default color for the stage background, and then the gradient stage
background. How do I get rid of the gap?
To view the effect please go to
www.arealtaxcut.com/index000.html --- Here is the code:
I did add the HTML tags <center> </center> to the
.html file.css call in the body tag: <body margin="0"> worked to
bring the entire document to the left, however there was still the
issue of the spacing at the top. After further research this is
what I came up with and it works like a charm.
<style type="text/css"><!--body {margin:0px;
padding:0px;}--></style>

Hi all,
I used to use Ps normally, but since I've reinstalled my Windows recently so I had to reinstall Ps as well. However, when I used Gradient Overlay, it didn't work out correctly as it's supposed to do: no matter how I configured the option, it just filled a solid color instead of a gradient (as number 1 in picture). When I clicked reverse, it filled with the other solid color.
Number 2 I used Gradient Tools to make it easier to compare.
Anyone have a solution for this?You could have accidently dragged over the object when the Layer Style window was open.
With the Layer Style window open, drag on the fill of the object itself (the pointer will change to the Move cursor) and see if the gradient boundary comes back into view.
