Properties box transparent - text error

I updated my Acrobat to 9.3.3 and now when I open an PDF I am seeing 2 problems.
The first is if I produce a box and I open its properties it is transparent.
Also at the same time there is an overlaying of text.
How do I fix this problem?
Windows XP SP3 Pro
See image

Thanks for your help Peter,
There are no shadows or reflections on the text boxes.
Where would I check or change the transparency on my bitmap objects - I can't seem to find it?
Thanks again!

Bullets and Transparent text boxes

hello,
I've checked out the postings already for this issue and
appreciate Ricks tip on fixing the font blur issue. However, I have
another bug with bullets in transparent text boxes.
Upon preview or publish of a project, I see a ghost color (a
little lighter) of my background color which is light blue . So,
basically the text box is no longer transparent and looks really
bad.
Any ideas,
Lisa

Hi Rick,
Let me describe what is happening a little more clearly. Here
is the basics so maybe you can reproduce it. I belive I did come up
with a fix for myself.
1) Add a background image to the slide that is merged not an
overlay image
- My image is a png file imported into the library and added
to every slide. It has a solid light blue background with a dark
blue strip on top and a brand from the client at the top left (very
basic)
2) Add a transparent text box caption
3) Add text that includes bullet points
Result: When you put a text caption with bullets over a slide
background that is an image(even solid color) you get a ghost that
oulines the text caption dimensions. If the text caption doesn't
have bullets, the ghost outline doesn't appear, but the text is
blurry. Obviously the text can be fixed by highlighting on
character in #C0C0C0.
My temporary fix: Because the ghost ouline seems to appear
when a text caption with bullets is on top of a background image, I
modifed my background image so that the light blue part (this is
the area when all the content will be) is actually transparent and
no longer a color. I then set color for all slides backgrounds to
be the light blue that was origninally in my image. This seems to
work, but there are some color fading issues that I need to explore
and work out more.
Thanks much and look forward to pushing the boundaries of
Captivate once I my head around it more.
P.S If I have a background image on each screen (branding and
consistent purposes), when I set up a simulation, do I have to
merge each screen shot into the background or can the screen shots
created by Captivate just overlay my background image.

Acrobat 9 Text Box Default Text Properties

Acrobat 9: How do you change the default text properties for a text box?

I take it you are talking about the text box from the Comment and Markup Toolbar?
Yes, to access the Properties of a drawn box, select the box and right click(Control click on Mac) , a pop up menu will appear, choose > Properties... and amend as necessary. (Sounds like you probably knew that bit already).
When in the Properties dialog box you will see a check box at the bottom that says 'Make Properties Default'
Also an already modified box can be right clicked on the reveal 'Make Current Properties Default' from the pop up menu

Font change when I make a text box transparent

Hi All
I have been using Captivate 4 for over a year and have just come across a strange event.
When I change a text box caption type from a coloured background, such as adobe blue, adobe pop up etc, to transparent, the font type and style change from what I originally had and I am unable to change it back.
For example I am using Verdana 12 black in adobe blue caption. When I change this to transparent the font style changes to something else, even though the application still says the font is Verdana 12 black. It is very obvious it is a different font to Verdana as the other text on the slide that has not been changed to transparent looks very different to the transparent text box font.
This font looks nothing like Verdana as it is smaller and thicker; it resembles Arial Black though it is not quite that either.
This change occurs when I am using a text box on its own or a text box associated with a roll over slidelet.
Does anyone have any idea what is happening, and should I post this in bug fixes?
cheers

Hi there
In addition to Lilybiri's advice, you can also typically achieve the desired effect by editing the Text Caption and positioning the cursor at the end of all text. Just press Ctrl+End to do this. Then press Enter a couple of times to introduce a couple of blank lines. Then format the last line as bulleted. After that, adjust the size of the caption so you don't see the bulleted blank line.
Cheers... Rick

Text using transparent text box is degrading

After inserting a scolling swf, we're finding that any
animated text or text in a transparent text box in following slides
is distorted. If we put in a text box (i.e. Cosmos), the text will
appear correctly. Also, if we format text in the transparent box
with a bullet point or number, it appears correctly. Has anyone
else had this issue and been able to resolve?

We're either capturing a webpage and saving as an swf which
allows the agent to scroll in the captivate slide, just like in
real life, or we create a page in Flash 8 that will allow the agent
to scroll down the page to simulate a real life situation. We use
SnagIt to capture our scrolling webpages. It doesn't make a
difference how we do it, if it scrolls, we get the distortion. I
spent about 2 hours with Adobe yesterday trying to resolve
it.

Framemaker 9 PDF exports with red boxes around text areas

I have a doc, made in FM 7, using version 9
When I make a PDF i get boxes around some of the text. It wasn't there during FM design.
example
(see red)
Please help

AxialInfo wrote:
you might consider saving the FM file as MIF and then looking at the MIF using the wonderful freebie MIFBrowser, from Graham Wideman, from here:
Wideman Adobe FrameMaker Topics
to find the problem area do a search for the string that is in the title
"Downblast Centrifugal
Exhaust Ventilator
Roof Mounted
Belt Drive"
although just pasting it here it looks like you might have soft carriage returns in it which will make it necessary to just search for the two-word segments.
After you find the phrase, use the left navigation area to walk "up" the MIF file, looking for the specific structure that those words are in (is it a text box, or rather a graphic frame inside a text box, correct?) Is this an anchored frame, or is it just floating? If it's anchored, where is it anchored?
In the MIF, see if you can identify any odd sounding properties of the text box or graphic frame. The MIF reference manual is a PDF found in the FM documentation folder.
Also, one other possibility is that there's something funky with the red swash that goes across the page that's somehow "contaminating" the text frame. What kind of graphic type is the red swash? Could you take a copy of the FM file and remove the swash and then make a PDF, to see if that solves the red outline.
edit: additional questions: are the swash and the text frame on the body page or on the master page? When Arnis suggested checking for graphics behind the text frame, did you also check the master page(s) as well as the body pages?

I don't see the red in there
I made another pdf, after deleting the red bar (it's a eps.) and the reb boxes are still there
        I'm not using any master.
Thanks for the advice anyhow

Overset text error can't resolve

Hi
I'm in ID CS5, and have an overset text error that I can't get to grips with. It says "Overset text: 1 characters" in the preflight box, and I've got a red box with a + sign at the exit to that page's text box. I've tried grabbing the existing text with the cursor and then using click plus alt, shift, and alt/shift to get whatever's overset to flow into the next page somehow, but nothing appears. The text I flowed to begin with is all there - that is to say the text finishes half a page clear of the end of the text frame and the cursor doesn't want to progress any further down any returns or spaces that are hiding there. Any suggestions as to whether this is a bug, or more likely an obvious point I've missed?
Thanks.

Story editor has only hide/show changes option available, and doesn't appear to shed any light. When I pick up the supposedly overset text from the red +sign box on the left hand page and then flow it into the right hand page, I get the blue diagonal flow link line to indicate that the text is flowing, but all that I seem to be creating is an otherwise empty text frame on the right hand page (with an empty blue box at the bottom right to indicate that there's no more overset text), but this leaves me with a blank page for no reason. Aaagh!

Trying to create box for text but....

Hi all.
So I am new to the software. What I am trying to do is create a box for text. I want it to be "above" the background so that the background color does not color in the back of the text box.
An example can be found http://www.tree.com/
At the "about tree.com" that is (a more coloful, rounded version) of what I am looking for. It is a very common thing to see in sites, I just can't figure it out.
Thanks,
Patrick

Patrick
Your question is so basic it really requires a fairly lengthy answer, the best advice is for you to find a beginner totorial on html/css. The software is really just a tool, but you really need to understand the underlying code..
Text, as well as all content sits in elements, which reside in the body of the html code. Each element has its own properties, such as a background color or image. (not to mention the content has its own stylings) These are set in the CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). So to give you an anwer to your question is not that simple.
So best adviced is to google beginner HTML/CSS and see what pops up.

Overset text error

I have been working on a document... which has been passed to another designer and now come back to me. Now I can no longer edit text boxes how I would like or even move text around. For example if i have a paragraph of text and i want to move one line down by clicking enter the text below dissapears and i get an over set text error.... i click on the little red box on the bottom right of the test box ans paste this missing text elsewhere... but i dont want to do that. Can anyone help? Or udnerstand what I mean? I just want to be able to break up my paragraphs in one text box... I am stuck for ideas here of whats gone wrong. Even if I open a new document and make a text box... type in a word and click return for a new line... it gets an overset text error... so i cant type a new line of text. I have looked at rezing boxes... the font size...
see attached image for more of an idea.
anyone any ideas?
thanks

I am trying to download effects apps for my Amplitube. I get a message saying to contact itunes support and then a box that says error "0". It wont let me purchase and I cannot get support. HELP!

I am trying to purchase effects for my ipad amplitube. Every time I attempt to purchase it says to contact itunes support. I then get a box that says error "0".
It is impossible to get support so I hope someone can HELP!

My iTunes will not start. The box on the error message APSDaemon.exe, And message says "This application failed to start because MSVC80.dll was not found. Reinstalling may fix." I did the reinstall and I get the same error.

My iTunes will not start. The box on the error message APSDaemon.exe, And message says "This application failed to start because MSVC80.dll was not found. Reinstalling may fix." I did the reinstall and I get the same error. The error first happened after I approved the an iTurns update.

Same problem today. Took five times to reinstall without any error messages. Apple has posted a way to fix and you should follow their's first. I finally got to upldate correctly by doing their fix but with one difference. I did the following:
1) Went to the C:\program files (x86)\iTunes and C:\program files\iTunes folders and moved every file ending in .dll to the desktop (even if two files in same location had the same name, just replace)
2) Restarted computer and still got error message
3) Uninstalled all apple programs possible in the following order......itunes, apples software update, apple mobile device support, bonjour, and apple application support.....all performed using the microsoft control panel
4) put all the .dll files on the desktop in the trash and emptied (this is a step apple support did not specifically put in their fix but for a final try I wanted to delete everything apple).
5) Restarted computer.
6) Re-installed itunes from apple website
No error messages during re-install and was able to open shortcut in one try. Even updated my ipad to make sure everything was working.

Hi, i'm new using numbers, and when I try to open a excel file don't let me do it, instead appears a box whit a error and close app, any help?

What does the error say?
A couple of thoughts: the file is corrupted or is password-protected. Corruption is more likely to cause Numbers to crash & Numbers cannot open password-protected Excel files. Try using one of the free Office clones & see what happens.

I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it. help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks

I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it.
Is it not possible to create a text box, fill it with dynamic (data driven) text, but make the font size either scale up or down automatically, so that the entire text box is filled? This is a feature in PrintShop Mail Pro called COPY FIT. but no such feature in Indesign??
help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks, DJ

lol... it seems to work, but I have another huge problem!
Apparently .CSV files cannot contain page breaks in the data! The data I am trying to merge is a 'letter', with paragraphs, line breaks, etc.,
But, after data merging, it ignores page breaks and only merges the first paragraph of each letter. (sigh)
Solution? Hopefully, an EASY solution. lol as we have thousands of records.
Is there a third party indesign plugin that will allow .xml, or .xls data merge import??
Thx,
DJ
