Selecting an area on a page

The specifically defined "graphic select tool" of the older Acrobat versions does not exist in the later versions. How can I select an area on a page for copying or printing even if it is not an image? In some imported files the ordinary select tool works automatically as "+", but this essential tool is not
made available for text portions
The Acrobat Help file says:
• To select a portion of an image, hold the pointer over the image until the crosshairs icon + appears, and then
drag a rectangle around the portion.
but what can work like the old "graphic select tool"?

Try the snapshot tool.

DO NOT USE PREVIEW TO FILL OUT PDF FORMS, IT WILL DESTROY PDF FILES. Sorry, but I had to shout here to prevent damage to your PDF files.
Here is one of the symptoms when you fill out a PDF form with Preview: If you save it and return it to the author, they will not be able to see the text that you've added to form fields - unless they click on a field, which will reveal the contents of just that field. You can recover from this problem, but Preview will also remove other field types, and will actually rewrite your complete PDF while ignoring what it does not understand. Take a look at this blog post for more information about the damage that Preview will cause: Preview.app - Killer of PDF Files

When I print a selected area of web page, it doesn't fit to the paper. The end of each page are cut off. Is there any solution?

When I print a selected area of web page, it doesn't fit to the paper. The end of each page are cut off.
I'm very sure my printer is set cirrectly.
Can't Firefox shrink to fit when I want to print a selected area of web pages?
This has never occurred in IE.

File >Page Setup -- check your margins, I have set size to 85% which is probably left over from some problem. Also check your printer that it is correctly set to the size of the paper.

How can I select the area I want linked, to other page?

Hi,
I have been creating multiple stand alone PDF files with links to various documents within a given PDF. Up until yesterday I would select the Link Button, move my curser to the top left corner of the area to be selected, press the button and drag a box over the area I want selected. It worked great. Then BOOM, all of a sudden when I do that now it will not let me select the area I want, it will show a fixed box that appears to be snapped to a formatting line above or below the area I want. Is there a setting somewhere that might have changed?

Make sure you do not have the Snap to Grid option selected.
In Acrobat 8, it is under the View menu.

Hi sql9,
According to your description, you have a report with a parameter for selecting countries. Now you need to display records for one country and show the country name on each page. Right?
For this requirement, we need to add a parent group (Group on Country) so that we can set page break for each country. Also, we want to display the country name on each page. This country name is group name, not the parameter because the parameter contains
all countries that we have selected. In this scenario, we just need to set the group name as page name, then display the Page Name (Build-in Field) in report header. You case has been tested in our local environment. Here are steps and screenshots for your
reference:
1. Create a table in report. Set detail rows group on Country. Set page break between each group instance.
2. Create a parameter for filtering data. Set Filter on tablix.
3. Go to Row Groups, select group Country. In Tablix Member Properties grid, go to Group->PageName. Put “=Fields!Country.Value” in expression.
4. Create a textbox in report header. Put Page Name (in Build-in Fields) into the textbox.
5. Save and preview. It looks like below:

Help needed in row selection in Tabular form across pages

Hi,
I have a tabular form report similar to http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:95. I want to select some rows from first page and then use the pagination to get to the next page, select some more rows and hit the submit button for processing. The rows selected in the last page alone are picked up for processing, and the ones selected in the earlier pages are lost. I see the same behaviour in Denes' example as well. I picked a row in the first page and a row in the next page, and then click "Pick Records", i see only the record i picked on the second page.
I did play around with "partial page refresh" setting for the tabular form region, but that does not help.
Is there a way to select across pages in a tabular form?
thanks,
Rams

Okay. I could make this work, but this seems to be a roundabout way for me. In my case I dont have any database related query to get the values, hence the Application level process may not be needed.
When I select the checkbox, i get the value. I am hoping that I should be able to send the value to a javascript function and update the filed value in the function itself. Please see the function below..
function setFileID(pThis) {
var chkvals=pThis.value;
var fldValue = new $x('f_FILELIST').value ;
if (fldValue != 0)
{ $x('f_FILELIST').value= fldValue+'-'+chkvals;}
else
{ $x('f_FILELIST').value = chkvals ;}
This function works fine in making up the list. The issue is, when an already selected row is unselected, the value of the checkbox gets added one more time :) If I detect the checkbox status and subtract the corresponding value, this will be perfect..
Thanks for the link anyway. I am marking this question answered.
regards,
Rams.

How do I select text from multiple pdf pages using Microsoft Document Imaging

Hello. I have scanned 3 pages and saved to pdf, now in Microsoft Document Imaging I can only select text from the first page and cannot select text from the other 2 pages. Is there a way to select multiple pages?
Thank you.
Cat

Why don't you ask in a MS forum? This forum is for an Adobe product and I have no idea why you are asking about Microsoft Document Imaging here.

Multiple DB queries to different tables are botching my page

Hello everybody,
This one's going to be a bit difficult to explain clearly, but I will do my best.
ADDED: After posting this thread, I have been browsing a lot of forums and tutorials. I see a lot of praise for JOIN but I see nothing of lookup tables, as David Powers was so kind to show us in PHP Solutions. I like the lookup table and it works for me rather well. I'm curious as to why it gets no play yet the JOIN command does? Further, many uses of JOIN that I am seeing appear, to me as a novice, to be solveable with WHERE and AND as opposed to JOIN. Gotta go now, my temples are splitting. Cheers!
Okay, I have a TOC (table of contents) page I am working on as part of my online photo gallery. When you land on the preceding page for category selection, you have three choices. Picking one sends you to the TOC and with the associated query string value, the TOC page opens with the appropriate data.
I have eleven separate queries that collect the information to stock the page. It looks beautiful when it works, and all of this works when there is only ONE gallery presented. It's when I get into presenting many per page that the queries collide. And yes, all of the tables I will mention next are part of the main DB.
Please note, the 'names' of the tables shown are casual references, not the actual table names.
From my 'galleries' table, I pull these records using the first three queries:
1. Total number of galleries that match the value of the query string
2. Retrieving a subset of data (in this case, x-amount of galleries to display per page)
3. Gallery names and descriptions
The above three queries work in harmony although I can not get the number of galleries that I want displayed on a page (if I want 3 to show up and there are 4 total, I get all 4). I do, however, get all of the appropriate data for the above and it looks fantastic.
Next, when I add any or all of these queries, the aabove-mentioned info gets botched.
From my 'galleries' and 'photos' tables, I pull these records:
4. First representative thumbnail per gallery
5. Second representative thumbnail per gallery (I use two, it makes the layout look nice. These are just to give you an idea of what you'll see if you select this gallery)
6. The total number of photos in any photoset belonging to the category of galleries being displayed.
From my 'model names', 'model lookup' and 'galleries' tables I pull these records:
7. Model name/names associated with any specific gallery
From my 'subject names', 'subject lookup, and 'galleries' tables I pull these records
8. The subject, which is an initial set of 'categories' (used in the page header, title and some links).
'category names', 'category lookup, and 'galleries' tables I pull these records:
9. Category name (used in the page header and title)
'photographer names, 'photographer lookup' and 'galleries' tables I pull these records:
10. Photographer name associated with any specific gallery
'mua (make-up artist) names, 'mua lookup' and 'galleries' tables I pull these records:
11. Make-up artist name associated with any specific gallery
Now, if at this point, you are wanting to smack me over the head asking, 'Why are you doing it this way?' please note that I am extremely new to this and am open to suggestions that help to streamline things. Still, these eleven separate queries are all dealing with specific data types and unless there's some magical way to combine these all into one query (which to date my research has shown to not exist), I'm stuck with eleven queries.
Out of frustration, I have tried adding $result->free_result(); after my queries, but they bomb the page when I go to test it locally. What is the proper time to use this command, and what is the proper syntax?
Also, is it necessary to have more than one connection ($conn = dbConnect('query');) per page? Should I have one preceding every query? Would just one for all eleven queries do the job? I have to say, for the page that worked completely only displaying one gallery and all of this lovely data, one connection did the job. Is this bad practice?
I apologize if this is the least bit confusing. My descriptive prowess is not at all what it usually is due to woeking on this project dya in and day out...me brain is fried. However, I am making progress, but now, this is my tallest hurdle yet.
Thanks to any and all of you who can help!
Sincerely,
wordman

>I'm curious as to why it gets no play yet the JOIN command does?
First of all, JOIN is not a command. It's a statement. It's a way of combining table columns using the JOIN "keyword" within the FROM clause.
>Further, many uses of JOIN that I am seeing appear, to me as a
>novice, to be solveable with WHERE and AND as opposed to JOIN.
You can either use the JOIN keyword, or join tables within the WHERE clause. Both yield the same results. In the past, the only option was to use the WHERE clause, but things like outer join syntax varied among different DBMS's. Later versions of the ANSI standard introduced the JOIN keyword which standardized join syntax. But you can use whichever you are more comfortable with as most query optimizers will give the same results.
>Still, these eleven separate queries are all dealing with specific data
>types and unless there's some magical way to combine these all into

>with eleven queries.
If you are populating a page with data, then I assume that the data on the page is related in some way. If the data is related, then there must be a way to combine the queries. It may not make sense to combine ALL of them, but I guarantee that running 11 queries for a page is the wrong approach. Looking at your examples, it seems like this is achieveable.
I would really urge you to step back and learn some more SQL. JOINS are not an advanced topic. There is plenty of good material on the web for learning SQL, or you can find some great books if that's more your style.

The margins of section # are set outside the printable area of the page.

Hi i have a Hp 7410 all in one officejet. I have just gone from Xp Pro to Windows 7 64 bit. I have installed correct drivers and Hp's own tool tells me i have the current drivers. But i just went to print in Microsoft Word 2007 and am getting the error The margins of section # are set outside the printable area of the page. Do you want to continue?. If i continue i am missing the bottom section of my document. How can i fix this as this printer worked perfectly in XP but now in Windows 7 it is not working. this is the only trouble IM having......

Hi,
I'm not sure that changing from XP to Windows 7 should have a detrimental effect on your ability to print. I did check out the 7410 printer manual at the following location:
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00235090.pdf
On page 74 there is a reference for adjusting page margins in connection with MAC users & 2-sided printing. However, perhaps if you go to the page layout tab in MS word & click on the margins section. It offers a selection (Normal, narrow, moderate, wide & mirrored) so maybe if you select one of these the system will right size the document for printing.
As I say I can't explain how this may have happened but hopefully choosing a margin setting will help.

Hello Sachin,
>> how many items are possible in page APEX 3.2 , is there limitation ?
You can render up to 100 APEX item on the page, and that includes hidden items. You can define more than 100 items and use conditions to determine which items will be rendered. (Buttons and other components you mentioned are not included in the 100 count).

Select List with Submit refreshes page to top force users to scroll down

Hello All,
I have Dependent Select List where this functionality driving select list submit values to a subsequent select list.
The "Select List with Submit" refreshes page where the unintended by-product is page refresh, which returns to top of page and therefore force users to scroll back down.
In other words: I have a long form page where I have a Dependent Select List. So when you change the value of the 1st select list it refreshes the 2nd. This is all fine, but when the refresh occurs, the Form-focus returns to the top of page. This makes the users scroll back down to the lower end of the Form where they left off. This would make usability problems for users.
Anyway we can make the Form return where to the area(Item or Region) where the user was during the selection of the Select List?
Thanks in advance,
Konstantine

HURRAY!! I got it to work perfectly using anchors. I am adding this message to help future ApEx developers.
I have been searching the Forum for 3 days and have read numerous postings. There was a lot of good discussion on anchors and linking from page to page. But, nothing exactly like my situation.
Situation: Have a page, PG4, with a button, PG4_BUTTON, that redirects to a different page, PG7. PG4_BUTTON has its 'Display In Region' field set to PG4_REGION. When PG4 is run and the form displays, the PG4_BUTTON is located at the bottom. When the user would click PG4_BUTTON, the user would be taken to PG7. (this is good) The user enters some data in PG7 fields and then clicks a create button, PG7_BUTTON. PG7_BUTTON would submit data. An After Processing, Go To Page, Branch would be activated when this button was pressed and then the user would be returned to a refreshed PG4, at the top. This forces the user each time to have to scroll down to the bottom of PG4 to continue. (this is NOT good)
Solution: On PG4, I edited the region, PG4_REGION. For the region 'Title' I added an anchor before the actual name. So it looked like this:
{a name="REGION_TO_RETURN_TO"></a}PG4_REGION
please note: where I have the curly braces above '{' '}' you need to put < the pointed and '>'
Next, on PG7, I edited the Branch. On the 'Edit Branch' page, in the 'Action' region, I changed the 'Target type' field from 'Page in this Application' to 'URL'.
To the 'URL Target' text area field I added this:
f?p=&APP_ID.:4:&SESSION.::::::#REGION_TO_RETURN_TO
So, there you have it. If you still need to read other postings, here are a couple of the sites I read:

Select-options are not destroyed while calling view of used component popup

Hi Friends ,
I'm facing a unique problem. I'm calling a view of a component within another component. the view that I'm calling has some select-options. When I close the popup window ( using close 'X' of popup ) and then try to reopen the popup system give me a dump. I debugged and found that select-options are not destroyed by system and once it tries to create the select-options again it dumps because they are already there.

I've sloved the problem

Selection criteria are not applied to summary fields on group footers.

I wonder if anyone can help me with this problem. I am using Crystal reports version 11.2, and my data source is a Sql Server view.
The records on the view have a date field, and I have selected all records within a given date range in "Selection Formulas".
The records are then grouped, and the Crystal summary facility used to summarise number fields on the group footers.
So for example, if my view contains four records, one with field "amount" = 2, one with field "amount" = 8, one with field "amount" = 6, one with field "amount" = 3, but only the first two records are within the valid date range, you would expect to see the first two records listed out at detail level, then field "amount" summarised at group level, with a summarised value of 10.
ie ....                record1                      2
                       record2                      8
                       group level total         10
This works fine when I run the report using Crystal's "print preview" facility. However, when the report is run from within an application written in C#.NET, the selection criteria are not applied to the summary field, so you get ..
                       record1                      2
                       record2                      8
                       group level total          19
I tried putting the date selection criteria at both record and group level, but that did not work.
I googled the problem and found an article explaining that Crystal first performs the record-level selection, then it creates the groups and totals up any summary fields, and only then does it apply the group-level selection criteria, which can lead to problems like the one I have described above. However, since I have put my date selection criteria at both record and group level, I do not understand why I still get the problem.
In one report I got round this problem by creating a formula that returned zero if the record date was outside of the valid date range, and returned the number field to be summarised if the date was valid, then summarising that formula, instead of summarising the number field directly.
In other reports I created one formula to set a shared variable as zero, then another formula to accumulate it at detail record level, then another formula to display the variable at the group footer. In other words, I did not bother with the Crystal summary facility at all, but created my own summary facility.
While googling the problem to see what other people did in this situation, I noticed that most fixes used variations of the "shared variables and formulae" fix to get round the problem.
The problem is that I have lots of complex reports and it will take ages to replace the summarised fields with shared variables and formulae. The reports were initially tested with "Print Preview" so we did not notice this problem until the C#.Net application was ready to use them. And I can't believe that you are simply meant to ignore the summary facility and re-invent the wheel by doing it all manually.
Please tell me that there is something simple that I have been doing wrong!!! If I have not given enough information for you to answer, please let me know.
Thanks,
