Remove inner paths

See attached screenshot. Is there a fast way to remove all inner paths with a simple filter?
I have a lot of outlined text in this font, of which i need only the outer path.
It feels the simplest thing to do, but i can't find an easy way. Probably because it's monday morning.

There's no quick answer. A path is a path is a path.
The only way things could be sped up is if the inner paths had some distiguishing characteristic which the outer paths do not have such as color, stroke weight, effect. Then you could use Select > Same. But if all the paths are the same color, same stroke weight, and same structure, you are going to have to manually select either the inner or outer paths.
Pathfinder won't do much of anything because the inner paths don't appear to touch the outer paths.
Scripts might, but I doubt they can distinguish the outer and inner paths if they are the same.
Filters are a Photoshop thing.. not Illustrator.
The only other thing I can think of is using the Blob Brush to paint over the inner paths. Or using the Shape Builder Tool to combine the inner and outer paths. But in both those cases you'll have to touch each and every letter as well so I don't think it would be much quicker than selecting. Selecting the outer paths could be done via click dragging so I still think that would be faster.

  • Please remove Class-Path from kodo-jdo-runtime.jar manifest

    This is repost. Class-Path should not be in manifest of

    It causes problems with security manager when using signed jars under
    webstart. It can potentially cause all kind of other problems due to class

    Seems to be a problem in manifest. It is due to Class-Path in manifest. I

    I would suggest to remove Class-Path from this jar. I've seen some very

  • How do I remove inner rings from a complex geometry of SDO_GEOMETRY type

    Hi All,
    I am just looking out for a best way to remove inner rings from a complex geometry of SDO_GEOMETRY using ORACLE packages. I have a complex geometry called MAINGEOM which is having two disjoint elements ELEM1, ELEM2 and each element will have a hole/inner ring completely inside the ELEM1 and ELEM2 respectively.
    I just wanted to remove the two holes/inner rings from each ELEMs.
    Initially, I have planned to collect all individual rings which are not inside the element using SDO_UTIL.EXTRACT and collecting them into a collection and subsequently appending all of them to the first element in the collection to prepare a new geometry.
    FOR rec in c1
    LOOP
    new_g := SDO_UTIL.APPEND(new_g, rec.GEOM);
    END LOOP;
    I feel, this a crude way of solving the problem. I doubt that there should be an existing SDO packages to remove the inner/required rings/elements.
    Can anyone please help me to solve this problem and let me know if further information is required.
    Regards,
    Kumar

    Hi Paul,
    Thanks for the given code. I could not adopt the assumptions and logic in my case. But, here is my approach and suggest me if I am wrong anywhere.
    FUNCTION remove_holes(p_geom_in IN mdsys.sdo_geometry) RETURN mdsys.sdo_geometry IS new_geom mdsys.sdo_geometry;
    temp mdsys.sdo_geometry;
    numelem NUMBER;
    BEGIN
    numelem := sdo_util.getnumelem(p_geom_in);
    FOR idx IN 1 .. numelem
    LOOP
    temp:= sdo_util.EXTRACT(p_geom_in,   idx,   1);
                        IF IS_GEOM_INSIDE(temp, p_geom_in) = FALSE THEN
                        IF new_geom is null THEN
                        new_geom := temp;
                        ELSE
                        new_geom := sdo_util.append(new_geom,   temp);
                        END IF;
    END IF;
    END LOOP;
    RETURN new_geom;
    END remove_holes;
    FUNCTION IS_GEOM_INSIDE(p_look IN mdsys.sdo_geometry, p_list IN mdsys.sdo_geometry) RETURN BOOLEAN IS
              corrunt mdsys.sdo_geometry;
              str_relationship varchar2(60);
              IsInside varchar2(60);
              IsCoveredBy varchar2(60);
              BEGIN
              FOR i IN 1 .. sdo_util.getnumelem(p_list)
    LOOP
                        corrunt:=sdo_util.EXTRACT(p_list, i,1);
    str_relationship := SDO_GEOM.RELATE(p_look,'DETERMINE',corrunt,0.5);
                        IF str_relationship = 'EQUAL' THEN
                        NULL;
                        END IF;
                        IsInside:=SDO_GEOM.RELATE(p_look,'INSIDE',corrunt,0.5);
                        IsCoveredBy:=SDO_GEOM.RELATE(p_look,'COVEREDBY',corrunt,0.5);
                        IF  (IsInside='INSIDE') OR (IsCoveredBy='COVEREDBY ') THEN
    RETURN TRUE;
    END IF;
    END LOOP;
                   RETURN FALSE;
              END IS_GEOM_INSIDE;
    END pseudo_fg;
    +/+
    With the above logic and implementation, I could solve the classic Island issue and able remove a normal hole from a geometry as well.
    I found another interesting case where I have a Geometry Collection which is having two poligon Geometries. You may imagine two identical square geoms where the upper left quarter portion of the second square is placed at lower right quarter portion of the first square geometry.
    If I execute sdo_util.getnumelem(GEOM), it is returning '1' instead of returning '2' as mentioned below.
    select sdo_util.getnumelem(MT.geometry) from MY_TABLE MT where MT_ID=18;
    SDO_UTIL.GETNUMELEM(MT.GEOMETRY)
    1
    1 rows selected
    Im I expecting wrong results? How can I solve this issue?
    My apologies, if I am posting unnecessary/unrealistic doubts here.

  • Deployment utility is not removing absolute path

    I'm using the deployment utility in TestStand 3.5 to create an image.  When I run the imaged sequence file I get an error  because TestStand tries to load a vi that is already loaded.  This only seems to happen with VIs that have absolute paths defined in the original test sequence.  My understanding was that TestStand removed dependencies on absolute paths during the build.  Do I need to remove the absolute paths in the original sequence file before using the build function?

    Ray,
    the UUT_Control.vi is loaded from in another sequence step as you suggested (the first call to UUT_Control does not use an absolute path) .  I also found the following info in the users manual :
    The TestStand Deployment Utility also performs processing on sequence
    files in order to remove absolute paths. ....The deployment utility corrects this potential problem by changing
    absolute path references in sequence files to relative paths that initiate from
    one of the following search directories:
    • Current sequence file directory
    • TestStand installation directory
    • Windows\System32 directory
    • Windows directory
    If the target file is located outside of these directories, TestStand uses a path
    that is relative to the installation directory and then adds the installation
    directory to the list of default search paths during the installation.
    My target file is outside the directories and I'm not creating an installation directory, just an image, so that is probably why TestStand is leaving the absolute path reference.
    Thanks for the help

  • How to remove file path location listings from photos and objects in Acrobat Pro 9.0 PDF?

    After converting a windows-based Powerpoint 2007 presentation to an Acrobat Pro 9.0 PDF, the file path location of all photos and objects are shown in a dialogue box when the cursor is moved over the image as seen in this screenshot below. How can I stop this from happening and remove this feature on my pdf documents? 

    I saw that referenced on a forum, but it does not seem to address the issue I am having.
    As per Adobe Acrobat X Standard * What’s new, the equivalent to the "Tools > Protection > Remove Hidden Information" utility found in Acrobat X Standard is the same as the "Document > Examine Document" feature in Acrobat Pro 9.0. Those tools seem to cover meta data, book marks, hidden text, and deleted or cropped content, but not the file path listings that appear on images and objects converted from Powerpoint presentations and other MS Office programs.
    I have reviewed the settings used while creating a pdf, and have also tried the “Advanced > Preflight tool”, but could not find anything to apply to the issue at hand.
    Thus, this issue has not been resolved, but seems like it should be an easy fix that anyone who publishes pdf documents would want to use to publish clean, professional documents without anyone seeing the file path location of every object and image shown in the document on their hard drive.

  • Remove file path and title from PDF? URGENT

    I'm creating a PDF from multiple HTML files. The HTML document title appears at the top of the PDF page and the path/filename appears at the bottom of the PDF page. How do I remove those?
    I'm working from someone else's PC. When I generate PDFs from other HTML docs on my PC, the title and file path do not appear, so I figured that there must be a setting that I used once and forgot. The help has not helped, not has searching the knowledgebase. I'm using Acrobat 8 on WinXP Pro.
    Thanks!

    But I'm not using the Create from Web Page option. I'm using Create from Multiple Files. I'm combining 20 files from different folders.

  • WEBUTIL_FILE.FILE_SELECTION_DIALOG -- Return value removes "/" UNC path

    Hello:
    When you pass UNC path (Example "//mcName/test/") as the "Directory Name" for the the above function, it returns the selected file along with the "Directory_Name" but removes ONE file separator("/") from the UNC path (Example "/mcName/test/test.doc").

  • Compound Path without border on inner path

    Hi Guys,
    I'm trying to create a shape with text that has to be transparent.
    I fixed this by creating a compound path but it inherits all the elements of the shape (which is logical) but since the shape has a border it now get an innner border as well.
    Is there a way to discard the inner border and just have the outside one?

    Or you may:
    1) With the type on top of the shape, select the type.
    2) In the Transparency panel set the opacity to 0.
    3) Select type and shape; group.
    4) With the group selected, in Transparency Panel click Knockout Group once  or twice, as needed, until the check (tick) mark appears.
    The transparency (or opacity) of the type is then infinitely variable by again selecting the type in the Layers Panel and adjusting the opacity setting in the Transparency Panel. I think (though I may be mistaken) that in CS5 it's adjustable in the Appearance Panel.

    If yes, form builder doesn't remember the path any more and attach the library that time but when you open it second time form builder doesn't attach this library.
    If no, form builder remember the path and attach the library but when opening second time it looks for the library in the remembering path.

    Please look at the coding and not at the keywords to understand the problems!
    Usually subqueries are good in performance and you should not remove them.
    However, this type of subquery, where the subquery has no fixed WHERE-condition but a field
    of the outer select has very poor performance.
    The logic with the version is unclear, where is this field in the table, why can one banfn have several
    versions?
    How many entries are in so_banfn?

  • PDX index - how to remove absolute path to it?

    I have a PDF and using File > Properties > Document Properties > Advanced tab have browsed to a Search Index, and added it to the PDF (I've added a big Search button that the user can press to search the entire, large, collection of PDFs).
    The search index path that the Browse form puts in the Search Index: field points to a location on our network e.g. \\Server1\application\PDFs\index.pdx
    This works fine when I'm running it locally, but when the PDF + index gets installed on a PC outside of our network the user gets a error telling them that it can't load the index.
    I want to edit the path in the Search Index: field so that it is relative e.g. PDFs\index.pdx (the same location as the PDFs and the index file + folder), but the Search Index: field is greyed out and uneditable!  I seem to be stuck with a useless absolute path.
    Question: Is there any way of making the path to the PDF relative and not absolute? We need to put the PDF collection onto our software distribution DVD, and the customers will install it to their own PCs/network locations.
    (I'm using Acrobat Pro X ver 10.1.8 on Windows 7 Ultimate SP 1, and the target audience will be using Acrobat Reader)

    I think the problem is kinda fixed.
    I created the library and index on a network drive and created a "start PDF" file at the same location.  I opened the "start" file and used Ctrl-D > Advanced > Search index to add the name of the .pdx file.
    I emailed the "start file" to someone else on the network.  They downloaded it and double clicked it.
    * They happened to be using the new 2015 Pro DC version.  The message about the index associated with this document (...) could not be located. appeared. The path was expecting the .pdx file to be below the download directory.
    * I clicked OK.
    * Pressed Ctrl-Shift-F for advanced search.
    * Clicked Show more options (because that user had never used Advanced Search) - and the index file was displayed in the look in field.
    * Entered a search term and it worked perfectly.
    I retested it using a Dropbox location.  Created the "start PDF" file and emailed another person, not on the same network, but sees the same Dropbox folder.  They use Acrobay XI v.11.0.10.
    * The file was downloaded and double-clicked.
    * Pressed Ctril-Shift-F - same index could not be located message - and again the .pdx file was assumed to below the download directory.  But nothing auto-magically fixed itself. 
    The only solution here is to provide user with a link to the .pdx file on their desktop.  When they double clicked it, Acrobat opens with the index loaded.
    (Depending on the user, the other alternative is to add the index to the index list.)

  • SPA 525G[2]: monitor mjpeg video RTSP , remove PATH constraint

    Having read the forum's guide on the topic ,
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-9806 , and related errata
    it's clear the phone can render MJPEG via RTSP.  The defect is the expectation of a needlessly specific URI PATH
    rtsp://10.20.30.40/img/jpgvideo.sav
    The SPA 525G and 525G2 could easily display ANY RTSP stream of MJPEG; it certainly has the power.   If one constrained the video stream (or transcoded non-matching stream on the fly) to:
    320x240
    5 fps
    Constant Bit Rate
    (with low bitrate)
