Set Size of Preview

Whenever I open files (such as help menu etc), they open in tiny windows which don't utilize my screen size and the text is too small to read. How can I make it so the default setting is larger? I thought I remembered a way to open the plist file with text edit and change a number, but I don't seem to see anything there for that. Any advice?

What you remember seeing about editing the plist file of Preview was a MacOSXHints thread about changing the default zoom in Preview when you search for an item with Spotlight and then open the file--the default is set, who knows why, for 28 and the hint explained how to reset this to a more sensible 1. But it is ONLY for the Spotlight zoom.
Help Viewer is a different deal. I took a look at the plist file for help and discovered that it is quite rudimentary. Since I know that all help files are basically just html files, I decided to take a look at one and see what is what with them. I discovered that the formatting is accomplished through individual css files stored with the help html files with each application, and the style sheet specifies a 9pt sans-serif font. This is a bit small for my tastes too. Whether it is possible to over-ride this style sheet somehow globally using the plist or some other method I just don't know, but I'm kind of doubtful. I suppose you could make your own style sheet and substitute it inside each and every application (and the Finder is an application), but the potential for messing things up seems rather high, and the work involved would be enormous. I think it is way easier, not to mention safer, to just always hit the Command-+ key combo.

Controlling Font Size in Preview

Is there a way to increase font size in Preview before printing? The default is too small for me, and I don't see where to control font size.
Thanks.

Yes, you'd have to load them, (HTMLs), into another APP, say Text Edit even, select all, then set the Font and/or size before saving as a PDF.
Once it's a PDF, it preserves the Font, size and everything else.
Another Option would be to load the PDFs into a PDF editor, say Acrobat Pro, and change the size there.

Set size of jPanel

Hi i've create a jForm in netbeans. To this I have added a scrollpane containing a jPanel called PrintPreview. (I have to do this rather than use the automated preview of printUtilities because of some items I need removed from the original jPanel before printing).
I need to set the size of the PrintPreview jPanel as it's instantiated. I have the dimensions created from another class called "Gbl".
In the constructor is the following:
/** Creates new form PrintPreview */
public PrintPreview() {
PreviewPanel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(Gbl.previewWidth,Gbl.previewHeight);
PreviewPanel.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(Gbl.previewWidth,Gbl.previewHeight);
PreviewPanel.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(Gbl.previewWidth,Gbl.previewHeight);
Window.pack();
initComponents();
this.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
// ADD CODE - COLLECT DRAWING FROM ARRAY
PreviewPanel.repaint();
I would like the jPanel set to these dimensions however I would also like the scrollPane to remain at it's standard size so I can scroll the diagram as necessary.
Could you please tell me where I am going wrong? The three setSize lines are flagged as erroneous. The dimensions are int and have tried double.
Any advice is good...
Thanks

Ok I'm going to add onto this thread because it still relates to the original problem. setting size of jPanel.
Some details first:
OS - Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10
Kernel - 2.6.22-14-generic
NB - v5.5.1
Java version - java version "1.5.0" / gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.2.1 (Ubuntu 4.2.1-5ubuntu5)
Research:
I have been trawling the net for days trying to resolve this but I am struggling to find anything specific to my problem. I keep finding general methods using given NB facilities. I've also scoured a couple of my Java books but of course they're not totally relevant to NetBeans. I've practiced using the forum this afternoon to find things but with my lack of knowledge using both forums and java has left me a little bamboozled. I've been working on this problem for a couple of days now and achieved very little.
My specific problem is this:
I have a JFrame GUI. Inside that I have a jTabbedPane containing a jScrollPane containing a jPanel. I would like to have the jPanel display at A4 size relevant to the screen it is displayed on. e.g. I have a separate global class "Gbl" that calculates the dimensions based on current dpi and then creates the necessary measurements to feed to my preferred size function.
I have tried implementing the preferred size method to the constructor and have also tried adding it to all four ways to enter bespoke code to NetBeans' autogenerated code. (Pre-init, Post-init, Pre-creation and Post-creation code) To no avail. Nothing changes on screen.
The code I am trying to enter is as follows:
// Set preferred size of user-drawing-area (jPanel1)
jPanel1.setPreferredSize(new java.awt.Dimension(600,500));
jPanel1.setMaximumSize(new java.awt.Dimension(600,500));
jPanel1.setMinimumSize(new java.awt.Dimension(600,500));
// Set preferred size of jPanel1 container (jScrollPane1)
jScrollPane1.setPreferredSize(new java.awt.Dimension(600,500));
jScrollPane1.setMaximumSize(new java.awt.Dimension(600,500));
jScrollPane1.setMinimumSize(new java.awt.Dimension(600,500));
// Set preferred size of the jScrollPane1 container (mainTabView(Tabbed pane))
mainTabView.setPreferredSize(new java.awt.Dimension(600,500));
mainTabView.setMaximumSize(new java.awt.Dimension(600,500));
mainTabView.setMinimumSize(new java.awt.Dimension(600,500));
I am using absolute values here to omit any error getting the variables from my Global class. If it works I will add them and test again.
Ideally, I would like the jPanel to be set to an A4 size yet have the containers at a smaller more "screen-manageable" size (With scroll bars). Then if the GUI is maximized, then it only expands to the full size of the A4 sized jPanel if possible.
Of course, this may not be possible or there may be a far better method for doing this, however I am really stumped. I've had some good advice this afternoon of whihc has opened may eyes some. Although, I have made no headway so far. I hope the above follows site-rules and gives enough information to resolve this issue. I'm losing hair rapidly!
I'm grateful for any advice given. Thank You

Essbase Error:Set is too large to be processed. Set size exceeds 2^64 tuple

Hi,
we are using obiee 11.1.1.6 version with essbase 9.3.3 as a data source . when I try to run a report in obiee, I am getting the below error :
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 43119] Query Failed: [nQSError: 96002] Essbase Error: Internal error: Set is too large to be processed. Set size exceeds 2^64 tuples (HY000)
but if I run the same query in excel add in, I am just getting 20 records . wondering why I am getting this error in obiee . Does any one encountered the same issue ?
Thanks In advance,

Well if you want to export in I think you have to manually do it.
The workaround it to open your aperture library by right clicking it and show contents...
Then go into your project right click show contents...
In here there are sub folders on dates that the pictures were added to those projects. If you open the sub folder and search for your pictures name it should be in that main folder.
You can just copy it out as you would any normal file to any other location.
Voila you have manually exported out your file.
There is a very similar post that has been close but again you can't export the original file that you are working on - FYI http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2075419

Not able to set up the preview server

I've referred ATG documentation for preview server setup, tried to set up the preview on BCC.
Please find the steps I've followed to set up preview.
1) Added the store module t as a required module to the versioned module, so that my versioned ear include all the pages of preview in my versioned EAR.
2) Added the 'preview' layer to the runAssembler while creating the build.
3) Created the preview configuration files as mentioned below.
PreviewHost.properties
==============
$class=atg.service.preview.PreviewHost
hostName=localhost
port=8380 #port where my BCC is running
PreviewManager.properties:
=================
$class=atg.remote.commerce.assetmanager.preview.service.MerchandisingPreviewService
# Explicitly sets the document.domain property in both the BCC page
# and the preview page to "oracle.com"
previewDomain=localhost
defaultPreviewUserId=123456 # This is existing user profile id.
PreviewPath.properties:
==============
$class=atg.service.preview.PreviewPath
# Explicitly sets the document.domain property in both the BCC page
# and the preview page to "oracle.com"
defaultPath=/myAppContext/
PreviewURL.properties:
==============
$class=atg.service.preview.PreviewURL
name=PreviewURL
host=/atg/dynamo/service/preview/PreviewHost
path=/atg/dynamo/service/preview/PreviewPath
types=ProductCatalog=product|category
PreviewURLManager.properties:
===================
$class=atg.service.preview.PreviewManager
previewURLs=/atg/dynamo/service/preview/PreviewURL
4) Now created the Ear with the required modules for versioning and preview.
Application is starting without error, but when I access my application at "http://localhost:8310/myAppContext" I'm getting the following error.
HTTP Status 403 - An attempt was made to preview a project without logging in as a user with access to publishing assets. If you are running a local preview instance, the preview URLs registered with the PreviewURLManager may be misconfigured. Ensure that the preview URLs are configured with the same host and domain name used to access the BCC server. This preview request URL is: http://localhost:8380/myAppContext/. If you are running a remote preview instance, the Preview feature does not support remote preview on servers running the BCC. Ensure that the remote preview instance is not running any of the BCC related modules. If you received this error and did not try to perform a remote preview, then you may need to disable preview in the current web application by setting the atg.preview context parameter to false in the webapps web.xml file.
Note: I've enabled the preview for my versioned and non-versioned applications.
Can anyone suggest me what went wrong in my configuration?. Please provide the steps you have followed to set up the preview for your application.
Your help is very much appreciated.

How do I reduce file size in Preview?

how do I reduce size in Preview? Tools > Adjust Size is greyed out. I have a scan of receipts at 300 dpi that's 5.3 MB. I want to reduce for e mail.

I did go back and saved to .jpg and got an option to determine the quality and settled for 225 KB image. That works and it looks fine.
Unfortunately, though I clicked correct answer on your post - it looks like its giving me credit. I tried to undo, but I can't.

Preview Selection Tool-How to get selection size in Preview?

One of my favorite tricks in Preview (prior to Leopard) was being able to hold the alt-key to get the selection size. Leopard killed this amazing feature and now I have to open Photoshop every time I want to get the size of something. Does anyone out the have any idea how to quickly get selection size in Preview in Leopard? I thought I would just be able to make a selection, crop the image and get the size that way, but worst of all, the image size only reflects the original image size and not the newly cropped size. The latter seems like a bug and the former is annoying.

I've been on Leopard for a year and I was always able to just put the cursor on the image, draw my box and hit the crop button. In the last week, I've lost the ability to draw my box. It's like it's been disabled. I've restarted to no avail. This was a great little feature as I do not want to load every picture into iPhoto.

Circular and oval cropping at set size and resolution?

I know how to use the M tool to create circles and ovals and i know you can set that to certain dimensions, but that doesn't do everything I need.
How do you crop circles and ovals out of a photo, at a set size (for example, a 1 inch circle ) at a set resolution for printing? What I need to do is crop circular and oval images out of a photo, say at 250 dpi, then paste them onto a blank white page for printing.
So if I've got let's say a photo that's 14x10 inches at 300dpi, I want to be able to go in, crop out an oval or circle, with as much or as little of the photo that I can or want to, setting that automatically to a certain dimension and dpi, then paste it into a blank white page I've already created at that same d
When finished I'd have maybe 20 or 30 images on a page that I can flatten all the layers and print.
I can't find a way to set size and resolution with anything other than the regular square crop tool.

You can make an action and use it as one step automation to achieve that on an initial selection.
Step by step instructions:
With the Elliptical Marquee Tool, make the desired selection on a image.
Open the Actions panel (Window > Actions (Alt+F9), from its menu at the top right or corresponding buttons at the bottom, choose New Action, and in the dialog that appears press the Record button.
From the Image menu, choose Crop.
From the Selection menu, choose Inverse (Ctrl+Shift+I)
Press the d key on your keyboard to reset the foreground/background color swatches.
Press Ctrl + Delete keys on your keyboard to fill with white.
From the Image menu, choose Image Size (Ctrl+Alt+I), make sure the Resample Image is checked, and in the Document Size section enter the desired dimensions and resolution and press OK.
In the Actions Panel press the Stop Recording button.
Now you can copy or drag the image to another image.
For the next image make the oval selection, go to the Actions panel, select the actions you created above, and press the play button. You can also create a keyboard shortcut in the action's property accessible by double clicking the action.
The creation of this action assumes that in the final image you will be composing oval images on white background without overlapping their rectangular bounding boxes. If you plan to overlap them then the action must be modified to make the image a transparent layer and delete outside the oval instead of filling with white.

Record set size in Gantt Chart

Hi all,
I am developing an application that has a Gantt Chart.
The tree drawn is a 2 level tree. I have two VOs.
The second VO (Child) has more than 20 rows. I want to show only 10 child at once.
Record set size attribute is the one that is used to restrict the size of the number of nodes displayed. Just like in HGRID.
But when the graph is rendered the values that I give are being ignored and the entire graph is rendered.
Any pointers or suggestions on this will be really helpful.
Regards,
Santhosh.

Hi Santosh,
As Anand suggested to add the "rownum <= 10" condition to limit the record set.
But this condition should be set in View Link SQL(Query where clause).
I hope this will work.
Thanks
Renu

How programmatically set size of report element in Java

In topic
[How programmaticaly set size of some field?|How programmaticaly set size of some field?]
someone changing programmatically report element, but I think this part of code
is in .NET framework
For example I mean something like following snippet
BoxObject box = (BoxObject) reportClientDocument
.getReportDefController().findObjectByName("headerBox");
BoxObject newBoxObject=new BoxObject(box);
Border border=new Border();
border.setBorderColor(new Color(255,255,255));
newBoxObject.setBorder(border);
newBoxObject.setFillColor(new Color(255,255,255));
reportClientDocument
.getReportDefController().getReportObjectController().modify(box, newBoxObject);
Why I think this is in .NET framework because java object "ReportClientDocument" don't have "getReportDefController()" method (I donu2019t know .NET).
What I want to do, I want to take "Details" (part of report) and change size.
If there is no way to take "Details" how can I take other report element e.g. Text Object

Ernest,
What enviroment are you working in? Because my ReportClientDocument object does have the getReportDefController method. How are you declaring your object?
Try something like:
private static com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.ReportClientDocument myRCD;
BoxObject box = (BoxObject) myRCD.getReportDefController().findObjectByName("headerBox");
Cheers
Darren

Make it open at set size?

Is it possible to make the QT player open pre-existing files at a set size?
Thanks.

Hi, Rick
It's possible.
You can either use SimpleMovieX or QuickTime Pro.
(Note that I'm the developer of SimpleMovieX).
If you accept to create a separate file, you resize the movie with View > Resize Movie, then save a reference movie with File > Save RefMovie.
The new file takes only a few kilobytes and links to the original. It opens at the size that you have set.
If you want to keep the same file as original, it has to be a QuickTime mov file.
You do View > Resize Movie, then File > Save.
If you cannot or don't want to overwrite the original size, then it's not possible.
Regards, BJ

Set size and location of a component

Hello,
Does anyone familiar with this org.netbeans.lib.awtexttra.AbsoluteConstraints(). I want to set the size and location of the component, and I know this org netbeans can provide this function.
getContentPane().add(chkTausta, new org.netbeans.lib.awtextra.AbsoluteConstraints(10, 120, -1, -1));
chkRakkennus.setSelected(true);
chkRakkennus.setText("Rakennukset");
then it comes an error that org.netbeans.lib.awtextra.AbsoluteConstraints()cannot be resolved. Does anyone know what�s the reason. Do I have to download other version of Java. I have Jre1.6.0?
Does anybody knows is there another way to set size of component. For example, if I use borderlayout, and put a button to the west, then how can I set the location and size of the button?
Thanks a lot for you help.
Clare

org.netbeans.lib.awtextra.AbsoluteConstraints isn't part of the JDK. I suggest you don't use that at all. Let a LayoutManager do the resizing.
Have a look at the [Layout tutorial|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/index.html] especially gridBagLayout

Setting size of Label!!!

I have problem in setting size of label. Actually I have atttached some labels in a pannel. I want to set different size for each label. I there any way i can explicitly set the size of labels.
Thanx in advance.

The layout manager you use wont necessarily let you do that... Call first setLayout(null), and only then setSize and setLocation if you want to layout the components yourself.

Is there a way to reduce the installation size of preview edition?

Is there a way to reduce the installation size of preview edition?

Hi IndianLamp,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Based on your issue, you mean that you want t reduce the installation size of the version of VS Preview, am I right?
If yes, I know that when we download the version of the VS Preview from the Microsoft Official, it is default that the install package size. However, you can try to unselect some components during the installation, it will reduce the installation size of
preview edition.
If I misunderstanding your issue, please tell me more detail message about your issue.
