Saving text as image?
hello,
in my site project i have a non-web safe font (helvetica ultra light white on black background) which looks ok on most screens but appears to look "washed out" on others. i'm not sure what can cause this but i guess that's the risk of non-web safe? but one thing i noticed, even on a computer where it looks washed out the heading still looks ok. the heading is the same font only larger and one thing i found by digging into my project is the heading was saved as a .png for some reason. my idea is if i can have all the text saved as a .png i can avoid this issue i'm having. is this a good idea and if so how can i do this?
thanks,
rick
thank you and great point that i didn't consider before. i definitely don't want that to happen. so keeping it as text what could cause it to look washed out? i know there are many possibilities out there as far as monitor choices and visual settings. is that how it is with non-web safe fonts that certain setups can cause them to render improperly? is there anything else i can do short of changing my font?
thanks again i appreciate it!

ThanksDavid,
Have you put in a support ticket for this? I recommend doing so since its occurring in your production environment. You should also attach your log files as well.

Possible to scan a document into Acrobat XPro,then replace part of that PDF with text or image file?
Hi everyone,
Is it possible first to scan a paper document into Acrobat X Pro, and then to replace a "pane" or box within that PDF with a text or image file?
Would it require SDK and Javascript?
Thanks,
Rick WeinhausCtDave and others:
Here's the problem in more detail.
I am a physician and I already have the ability to incorporate paper-based
documents into an electronic health record (EHR) by scanning them and
saving them as PDFs. The documents are paper patient encounter forms with
a different box or 'pane' for each category of data. Each box has a fixed
location on the paper form.
There are three situations, however, where I want to have the option to
overwrite certain boxes of the PDF with data generated by methods other
than scanning.
1) Insert text macros with variable fields using the electronic health
record's software.
2) Insert a drawing available as a pre-existing JPG or generated by using a
tablet.
3) Insert text generated using Dragon Naturally Speaking.
For efficient office workflow, in all three cases the text or image to be
inserted into the box or 'pane' in the PDF needs to be generated while I am
still seeing the patient -- that is -- before the paper form has been
scanned and converted to a PDF.
The sticky note tool is one option, but I would want to be able to modify
the default size of the sticky note so that it corresponded exactly to the
size of the box it was 'overwriting.' I can't figure out how to do this?
Could it be done using scripting?
Furthermore, I would want the sticky notes to automatically display when
the PDF was opened, so that a hover would close rather than open them. This
sticky note method would have the advantage of allowing the user to toggle
back and forth between inserted data and any original handwritten text.
Any thoughts?

I created letterhead in Pages for my lil brothers film production company. Saved. Exported the document to Word. Sent it to him. So far so good. Looks great. Each time he opens the document in WORD and trie to alter the text by selecting and typing over it both the text and the graphics disappear.
Is there any way to correct this? I really love the letterhead and have been having problems recreating it in other software.Thanks for a quick response. I see yr point. The thing is I am setting up a table cell editor and a renderer. It is easy to set up the editor with a combo box. For the renderer, I am using a default cell renderer and I want to make it look like a combo box as well. Since the default cell renderer extends JLabel, I do something like
comboBoxRenderer = new DefaultTableCellRenderer();
ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon("image/Play16.gif");
comboBoxRenderer.setIcon(image);
comboBoxRenderer.setHorizontalTextPosition(JLabel.LEADING);
which does not get me the effect I want. I can put more pixels between the text and image using setIconTextGap. But it is not fool proof. I think I will try yr approach, but then it gets a little complicated. Would have been good if there is simpler way. I will appreciate yr thoughts -
Resizing text and images with actions and keeping it resized for the next slides, how to?
Hello everybody,
I searched over the net and in this support section for a solution to my problem, but i didnt find any, so...here I am asking you experts.
Through a particular use of different actions I make a logo "compose" in the first slide of my presentation (the logo is composed by text and images that interact), then in the second slide i make it resize so it goes 50% of its size and moves down like a TV logo, in the corner of the slide, and I want it to stay there for all the lenght of the presentation.
It might be a stupid problem, but I didnt understand how to keep it there, 50% of its size and always in that position. If i duplicate the slide I obviously duplicate the 100%-size-logo, not its 50%-size-version, and if i shrink it in order to make it be 50% of its size the text size doesnt shrink so i have to change the text size manually, but the visual effect is imperfect.
Lets summarize:
slide 1: text appears, image appears, the text and the image move and "compose" the logo
slide 2: the complete logo reduces its size to 50% and moves in the lower corner of the presentation, in the place I want it to be for, lets say, 20 slides
slide 3: i want to have this logo already reduced in size and in its position, in the right lower corner, but if i try to group the different parts of the composed logo and i try to squeeze them the font doesnt change its size, I only squeeze the area that the text occupies.
Some help please guys?
Thanks in advance,
Dom-
(add: the problem is kind of similar to this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/9179367#9179367 . the idea of making a slide that contains the logo and text in the exact positions they would be after the move and scale actions is good and that was my first attempt, the probem is that it looks impossible to me to create a second "little" version of the logo that looks exactly the same of the first one that i reduced, so i hope there is some way to tell the app to use "the first logo, only resized the way i want", and thats the point where the problem with the size of the text comes out)Hi pritam,
The “maintain proportions of window for different monitor
resolutions” property will maintain the proportional size of the front panel
(its x and y sizes) when opened in a different resolution. The front panel
objects will not be resized and will appear larger (and may not fit inside the
front panel) when saved in a higher resolution, and moved to a lower
resolution. You can use the “Keep window proportions” property to achieve the
same results.
To have both the front panel dimensions and front panel
controls scale, you need to have both the above property and the “scale all
objects on front panel as the window resizes” selected. The labels will not be
resized by this.
I tried using both properties on two monitors and noticed
that the change does not occur when the resolutions between the monitors are
different. I had to lower both monitors’ resolution to see the change work
properly.
Please post back if you have any questions. Have a great day!

Perform Save for Styled Text and images
I have build a text editor
I am using a JTextPane
but facing a problem with saving and opening the files with Styled text and images.
Can any body help me out with a sample code
Thank youHi,
If you want to save the file so that only your application can read the contents back, then you can serialize the Document of the JTextPane to the file and then read it back. This is the simplest approach.
Serialize myTextPane.getDocument(); and while opening do
Deserialize Document
StyledDocument myDocument = stream.readObject();
myTextPane.setDocument(myDocument);
and you are done, irrespective of whether text pane contains only text or images or any other combination.

Error while saving text as attachment
Hi All,
When a layout is generated. I get the following error :
Error while saving text as attachment , Size of the attachment is maximun than the size allowed.
I guess the generated layout is automatically saved as attachment. Can any one suggest how to disable the option of automatic saving as attachment
Thanks ,
KaushikHi,
if you want to keep the automatic saving as attachment you might check note 599680.
The saving is done normally in method TextGeneration in the underlying Business Object, e.g. BOSALESDOCGEN, BOACTIVITY or BOSERVICETRANSACTION. There you will find the according code lines in the end.

Help Me Understand: Readabilty of Text in Images
I make a webcomic (CarpeChaos.com for examples), so I produce a lot of images with a fairly extensive amount of text in them. I want to make sure the fonts in those images are as readable as possible. My experience on this topic is just someone who has read a lot about it online, I'm not professionally trained, so some of my assumptions may be flawed, please point them out. I'm using CS2, but my copy of CS5 is in the mail.
Photoshop is the core of our workflow and our PSDs are set up as several layers of image data and several layers of text. We don't rasterize the text at any point. The text is almost exclusively high contrast grayscale (aka black text on white backgrounds). Each PSD is 2880x3240, but we publish at 960x1080 AND 640x720.
What I know about font rendering tells me that fonts are rendered differently at different sizes, and that scaling rasterized text in images smears them into horrible messes.
With that in mind, I've been a bit of a fascist when it comes to our image mastering process. I never flatten text layers, nor rasterize the text in any other way. My assumption is that Save For Web... in Photoshop does the smart thing by resizing first, then rasterizing the text. Therefore, I use the "Image Size" tab in Save For Web dialog to produce the right sized images. Our jpeg compression is usually between 67% and 87%, although on rare occasion it can go as high as 100%. This produces rather crisp text with about as good of readability as I can hope for in a jpeg.
Unfortunately, this process takes a fair amount of time, and I'd love to dump all our PSDs into a script that generates the jpegs automatically. I've been playing around with File-->Scripts-->Image Processor but haven't yet gotten results that match doing it by hand. And frankly, from the dialogs, I don't trust that it respects my vector fonts as much as I do.
I'm not opposed to switching image formats to png or something else, it just needs to be web friendly.
So I have two questions for the wisdom of this forum:
1) Do you know any way that I can improve readability over what I'm currently doing?
2) How can I get the same results with less work? Is there a way I can get optimal results from an image processor script?I often use layer styles to make text more readable. Drop shadow and outer glow are often very useful for this, and they don't have to be turned all the way up to greatly increase readability.
For example, for the back jacket of a book, I was putting some light text on a mostly dark background consisting of an image with a lot of stars in it. The letters occasionally overlaid or nearly overlaid stars, and this became kind of distracting. Some drop shadow isolated the text and kept the appearance of the star field intact.

Why isn't my iTunes store loading properly? It lists everything in text without images, and I can't seem to access the store when I try to search for music or movies etc.
1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

Conditional Text and Image based on Excel column values
Hi,
I have an excel file which contains data that needs to be imported/merged in an InDesign document. I have converted that file into a CSV... I'm unable to figure out how to create document using Data Merge after evaluating some conditions on data ... Example InDesing document layout is like below and will be repeated for say 200 data rows...
Heading 1
Text 1, Text 2
Text 3
Image
Heading 1, Text 1 and Text 2 even Image value will be set after checking some condition like below
if ( column 'A' == ' ' && column 'B' == '1')
Set 'Heading 1' == column X
if ( column 'C' == '0' && file.exist(column C & '.jpg'))
Set 'Image' == column C & '.jpg'
Can someone please guide me how to create document when CSV and Images are given based on this scenario? and even if Data Merge is the right solution for this.
-- Thanks.Data merge can only reproduce one layout, so you can't merge 200 rows and then change things unless you do it in separate documents and then combine them. Of course anything you can do via scripting or manually on a regular document you can also do to a merged document after the merge is complete.
It sounds like this is a multiple-records-per-page scenario. TO do that you set up ONE instance only of what you want to merge, in the upper left position on the page. ID then duplicates EVERYTHING that is on the page as many times as will fit using the spacing parameters you provide. This means you need to be careful with frame sizes so they don't extend beyond where they should, but it also means you can add a no-fill, no-stroke frame as a border or bounding box to make it easier to get a precise size to be used by each record. Frames in merged documents are not threaded from record to record (though there are methods for doing that after the merge, if desired), so deleting a record normally leaves a hole in the page.
If you have master page items, it's probably best to us the "none" master before the merge, then apply the correct master page after.

Normally I have had to go to Control Panel; Appearances and Themes; Display; Settings; Advanced; Custom; and then I adjust the Customize Setting to 155% (149 dpi). I have hit on this setting through trial and error; larger and icons like the cursor get big and fuzzy. Smaller than 155% and text and images are tiny on the 32" wide screen. This time that procedure doesn't seem to work. The text and images remain too small regardless of setting, although the cursor icon gets big. I can manually zoom the pages, but that is clumsy and has to be redone. Does anyone know of an easy setting fix? I am not too smart about this stuff--mostly trial and error, but I do want to be able to enjoy my wide screen. Thanks!

How can i copy line with text and image to ms word
When I insert an image in textflow using InlineGraphicElement it works, but when I copy the line with the image to MS Word it copies only the text (not the image).
How can i copy the image to MS Word?If you want copy formatted text and image to MS Word, you need to give MS Word rtf markup, because Word can recognize rtf markup but not TLF markup.
So you need to create a custom clipboard to paste a rtf markup. It's a large feature for you, because you need a tlf-rtf converter in your custom clipboard.
TLF Custom Clipboard Example:
package
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.desktop.ClipboardFormats;
import flashx.textLayout.container.ContainerController;
import flashx.textLayout.conversion.ITextImporter;
import flashx.textLayout.conversion.TextConverter;

import flashx.undo.UndoManager;
// Example code to install a custom clipboard format. This one installs at the front of the list (overriding all later formats)
// and adds a handler for plain text that strips out all consonants (everything except aeiou).
public class CustomClipboardFormat extends Sprite
public function CustomClipboardFormat()
var textFlow:TextFlow = setup();
TextConverter.addFormatAt(0, "vowelsOnly_extraList", VowelsOnlyImporter, AdditionalListExporter, "air:text" /* it's a converter for cliboard */);

How can i create a simple netweaver portal page that shows text and images?
Hi,
i have a simple question or maybe it's not so simple.
I am completly new to SAP Netweaver 2004s Portal. At the moment i'm trying to understand the struture of the whole thing. I already know how to create roles, worksets and pages and i know how to combine the different elements so a user can acces them.
And now i want to create a simple portal page that shows text and images. Is it possible to create such a simple page with the portal content studio? What iView do i have to use?
(I just want to create a start page with a welcome text on it.)Marc
Considering that you would any ways go ahead with complex development from this simple start page I recommend create a Web dynpro Iview for your start page (include the Iview in your page).
For putting the contents use Netweaver Developer studio to build a simple start page application and put your static text on that Iview.
Please go through the following log after your NWDS development is over - This will make you comfortable for further challenging work.
