Still no soft hyphenation

I was most disappointed to realise, after trying out the trial version, that Pages still has no option for inserting soft hyphens. That lack of features renders Pages virtually useless for those using languages currently unsupported by Pages, such as Finnish. Pages is meant for producing nice-looking fliers and simple DTP products, but how to make a presentable document without the ability to hyphenate?
Even if Pages had language support for Finnish, soft hyphenation would still be useful. I doubt the automatic hyphenation ever works prefectly with all words. And adding the ability to insert soft hyphens would make it less necessary to keep adding support for new languages.
I have given feedback to Apple about this issue many times ever since the publication of iWork '05, but unfortunately of no avail. Without soft hyphenation, Pages remains just a toy, not a tool.

Yes, Finnish hyphenation would be nice. AppleWorks has had it for years, why not iWork?
There is a Finnish spelling checker, Soikko, that helps a lot but soft hyphens are sorely needed.
I think that I've read somewhere (possibly here) that the reason for this omission is OS X itself, display system doesn's allow soft hyphens. If this is the case, I hope Leopard will remedy this.

    I've encountered the same problem. You'll need to use attributed strings with a paragraph style:
        NSMutableDictionary *attributes = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
        attributes[NSFontAttributeName] = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:16]; //Set your font here
        NSMutableParagraphStyle *hyphenation = [[NSParagraphStyle defaultParagraphStyle] mutableCopy];
        [hyphenation setHyphenationFactor:1.0]; // Hyphenation factor accepts values between 0 and 1 (0=off, 1=hightest hyphenation factor to decide if to hyphenate a word
        attributes[NSParagraphStyleAttributeName]=hyphenation;
    Then set the attributed string property of the text view:
        textView.attributedText=[[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"my string" attributes];
    Hope this helps!

  • Soft Hyphenation - Illustrator CS5

    Hi everybody.
    I wonder why, in latest version of Illustrator, soft hyphenation is gone. Though, in InDesign CS5.5 it still works.
    This causes a lot of trouble in my work.
    In CS3 it worked just fine. Since I 've updated to CS5 it's a nightmare.
    Can you please bring it back as soon as possible?

    I am having a similar problem.  I am using CS5 15.0.0 on MacOSX 10.5.8.
    Everything seems to work fine, and I can save files fine.  But when I try to quit I get the error message, "The application Adobe Illustrator CS5 quit unexpectedly ... "  I have changed the permissions on ~Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS5 and, for good measure, in the "en_US folder under it.  It did not work.
    On the other hand, everything works OK when I try to do the same thing in another account in the same computer.
    Any ideas?

  • How to remove Soft hyphens in text PDF?

    Currently am working on the text validation for ebooks using PDF compare process. And am able to fetch errors along with false positive issues in final compare report.
    To ignore the false positive errors, i need to delete the soft hyphen in source PDF. Could any one please guide us on this.

    There is no such thing as a soft hyphen in a PDF (except where it is tagged). There are hyphen characters, but the information on them is purely visual. No design-time decisions such as soft vs. hard remain, just as they do not remain on a sheet of paper.

  • Firefox lets table overflow instead of breaking words at soft hyphens

    On http://www.idea.int/vt/country_view.cfm?id=2 , the table overflows into the right column because of long table headings. I inserted soft hyphens into them to help the browsers break the headings when needed. This seems to work in IE 8 and Google Chrome but not in Firefox.

    Yeah, same thing on my end. It seems like it's a difference of attitude in terms of implementing the standards. You should file a bug at [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org bugzilla] and let the devs know about this. See if it hasn't been file already. Remember that bugzilla is for bug work, not discussions or complaints.

  • Is there a way to "soft-hyphen" words in Pages?

    In editing book text in Pages, the automataic hyphen divides word incorrectly. When I correct it, the hyphen remains when line change differs. In Adobe Pagemaker you could "soft-hyphen" a word to avoid tdhis problem. Can anyone help?

    Hi Peggy
    What you insert is not a soft hyphen
    In computing, a soft hyphen (U+00AD, ­) is a type of hyphen used to specify a place in text where a hyphenated break is allowed without forcing a line break in an inconvenient place if the text is re-flowed.
    We may insert it in Pages document but, as Fruhulda wrote, it’s not treated the 'standard' way by Pages which treat it like a standard hyphen.

  • Can you still use soft motion without the scan engine on crio?

    Where are the trajectory generator property and invoke nodes in softmotion for LV 2011? 
    These functions are not longer found in the pallet?  Are they no longer supported? 
    All the new soft motion examples are using the scan engine.   Can I use soft motion without the scan engine????

    Hi Ian,
    I apologize that this wasn't stated in the release notes. While your code should have upgraded without breaking, the release documentation should have mentioned that the advanced trajectory genertor functionality is no longer supported. If you still want to use the trajectory generator functions, they are still shipped with SoftMotion, they are just not on the palette. I have attached a zip file that has 4 .mnu files that will get them on the palette. To install these, do the following:
    Close LabVIEW
    Make a copy of the following directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\menus\Categories\VisionMotion\_nism. In case something goes wrong, we will want to have a copy of this directory so that we can replace it.
    Copy the 4 .mnu files from the attachement into the above _nism directory (the original, not the copy). If it asks you to replace any of the exisiting files, please do. You don't have to copy the readonly.txt file.
    Start LabVIEW. You should know have the trajectory generator functions in your SoftMotion Advanced palette.
    Keep in mind that we no longer support these functions. This means that they are not tested in new releases and any bugs will likely not get fixed.
    I would recommend that you use the new API for any new designs. You can still get most of the functionality of the old API but without the complexity. If you want to generate setpoints at 5ms then you will run the scan engine at 5ms. This is certainly easier than having to do the timing yourself, but it does take away some control from the user. If you give me a brief overview of what you mean by synchronization, I will let you know the best way to do it with the new API.
    Thanks,

  • Semicolon overstriking soft hyphen in InDesign CS5.5 ME

    Hi
    I'm experiencing a weird problem with a client project. I'm setting a book in New Caledonia LT Std version 1.040 using InDesign CS5.5 ME. In one line, InDesign is hyphenating the word "Littérature" between the "t"s. It looks fine on screen, but when I PDF it, a semicolon overstrikes the hyphen. The hyphen prints correctly out of InDesign. When I change the font to the Type 1 version of New Caledonia, it PDFs and prints correctly.
    My best guess is that it's a problem with the font, but I don't know. It's only happening in this one case right now, but in an earlier draft of the pages, it happened elsewhere.
    Has anyone experienced this? Got any thoughts on what might be causing it?
    I don't know if there's a way to debug the font, but does anyone know if Adobe would supply the updated version of the font if it's a bug in the old version?
    Thanks.

    Save as IDML. Don’t expect it to work perfectly.
    New features will be lost and text will likely reflow.

  • Manual text hyphenation issue!

    Hi All,
    I have an issue about text hyphenation. We actually work with different languages for foreign clients. So we keep the Illustrator language accordingly to get right text breakup. Sometimes default breakup doesn’t give right breakup. So in that case we do give manual breakup for text.
    So after a while, if we get feedback from client, to do change where, the breakup runs to the next line and still the hyphenation exists. So I would like to know is there any way to solve this issue.
    If you see above screen shot, the left side file is the one which we did with manual text breakup. And then client given some text corrections. So while doing text corrections hyphenation run to next line.
    So this is what makes me crazy. Because it is quite difficult to trace the manual hyphenations after doing the changes. The reason to difficult is, we do multi files and multi text breakups. So i really want to know, if there is a way to solve this issue.
    Thanks for the time to read this and appreciate for positive reply.
    regards

    I've Got Bad News For You.
    It is the exact option you were looking for, and it has been so since ... well, about 1986, as that's when I started typesetting, and this feature was already there in WordPerfect 4.2.
    Not so in Illustrator CS4 (v14.0), March 2012. You can insert soft hyphens until you go blue in the face but Illustrator simply ignores them. See the soft hyphen in the middle of "hypothesis" in the right column:
    Now I showed some initiative, and after finding out that it indeed does not work (as you did), I turned to Google (which you did not), and that led me to this discussion: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1258567
    This crucial feature does not work, and there is no easy way to work around it either. Please complain to Adobe.
    (I did not try CS5.5 -- perhaps it works for that version, perhaps it does not. Anyone else care to see?)

  • A space is sometimes added before hyphenation when creating a pdf

    In using Acrobat 9.5 I have found that sometimes when a pdf is created from Quark 8, the new pdf has a space right before the soft hyphen at the end of a line of text that was not there in the original file. This space does not get inserted before all soft hyphens, just randomly, and there seems to be no way of knowing where it will show up. The space does not always occur in the same word with the same soft hyphen. Is there a setting I am missing that will eliminate this glitch?

    Use the below code..It will solve your problem..
    Data: c_space type c value space.
    SHIFT v_text RIGHT DELETING TRAILING C_SPACE.
    SHIFT v_text LEFT DELETING LEADING C_SPACE.

  • Where is the list of hyphenated words located in mac os x

    I would like to create a list of words in Armenian for auto-hyphenation. Is there a way I can create this list and install it where the English hyphenated word list is installed, so that any word processor can auto-hyphenate an Armenian text?
    After collecting the words and making the word bank, I need to know:
    1. How to create the hyphen? whether by inserting hard hyphen? or soft hyphen? or some other character that Mac OS X will interpret it as auto-hyphen sign.
    2. What format should I save this list? RTF, textonly, etc.
    3. Where should I install this file?

    >>  Once I know what those numbers represent
    I would suspect--though I don't know for certain--that the hyphenation-marking digits work as in other UNIX programs.  Here are two leads:

    Search them for "odd" or "even" to get started.  Good luck.

  • CS3 Bridge Preview Soft

    Please see Case No: 172571700 for details, however, I would love to see your developers come up with an option in preferences that would allow one to choose to see larger RAW files as sharp as they really are. Right now when I load up images from my Canon 1Ds Mark II or Canon !1D Mark III, the images in the preview pane are soft and mushy even though they are sharp. The problem is that I have to shoot sometimes in order of 1,500 images a day for certain assignments, and I can't tell if my images are in focus or not without opening them up in ACR. That takes too much time. In Bridge CS2 I never had that problem. I understand that you generate the image from the preview image in the RAW file, but even if I convert to DNG with High Res preview, the good images still look soft and mushy.
    Take a look at your forum on Bridge and you will see that I am not the only one that wants a preview pane that works. I will take the hit in speed. I am sure is will be faster than opening up every image in ACR.
    Thanks,
    Daniel Root
    Portland, OR

    Adding my voice to the chorus... I use a Canon 5D (among other cameras) and the previews in Bridge look little like what I see when I open the files in ACR or as converted TIFFs in PS CS3. Purging the caches (globally, and then often again for the individual folder) is an unnecessary manual step and there should be an option to build the preview directly from the RAW file (vs. the embedded JPEG as it appears to do now).
    Same goes for the magnified 'loupe' view in Bridge -- it's not much use as is in terms of checking for sharpness, it looks like it's just magnifying the JPEG preview (and beyond 100% as well, it would appear), so what you see are, mostly, soft pixels resulting from the bicubic smoother upscaling and color blocks from JPEG artifacting.
    Thanks,

  • Use the soft keyboard in a mobile application

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/mobileapps/WS82181550ec4a666a39bafe0312d9a274c00-8000.htm l

    Hey,
    I have post this question in other article that talks about soft keyboard.
    So to my goal I have a Label tag and I want it to open soft keyboard.
    what I do? create a Label tag and set neesSoftKey.. = true> insert it to BoedreContainer and set the click="onClick(event)"> in the onClick I tell the Label.needsSoft..= true (again just to be safe) and Label.addEvent...(foucsevent.focuseIn , inFocus) --> in inFocus I want to check that the Label got focus to I do Label.text = "in" and add this.addeve..(keyboard.keyDown , func);
    the thing is that my Label at this point have focus and needSoft= true and still my soft keyboard is not shown why?

  • Help solve OIM puzzle - OIM Authenticator == "weblogic user soft locked"

    Hi,
    I just completed an installation of IDAM 11g including OIM. I've done several, with different configurations, but this one is on Centos 64-bit.
    Everything seems to be working, but whenever I start the soa_server1 and oim_server1 managed server, I start seeing messages in the Adminserver stdout from <OIMAuthenticator>, saying that the weblogic user is "soft locked". If I go into OIM Admin, the 'WEBLOGIC' user is locked, and if I unlock that user in OIM Admin, the msgs from Adminserver change to "failed authentication" a few times, then I get the "soft locked" messages again.
    I've been trying to track this problem down for almost a week now. I'm "close" to understanding what might be going on, but I'm kind of at an impasse right now, so I figured I'd post what I've found thus far, and see if anyone here has any ideas.
    1) With this installation, I first installed a basic WebLogic domain, with a password (e.g., "password1").
    2) When I got to the IDAM installation, because there was a password policy, I had to use a password with upper-case in it (e.g., "Password1"), for all responses, except when it asked for the info for accessing the WebLogic Adminserver, in which case I responded with the original weblogic password (e.g., "password1").
    3) I have both the DefaultAuthenticator and the OIMAuthenticator in the security realm, with the DefaultAuthenticator at the top, above the OIMAuthenticator. Both authenticators are set to "SUFFICIENT".
    4) I think that SOMETHING is intermittently (~ every minute) trying to authenticate using the "weblogic" user, but whatever that is, it has the "wrong" password.
    5) My understanding is that normally, when OIM is installed, the 'WEBLOGIC' user is added to OIM, with an "empty" password, and I confirmed via sqlplus, that the USR_PASSWORD in the OIM USR table is indeed empty.
    6) I think that with the order that the authenticators are in, DefaultAuthenticator would attempt to authenticate, and then OIMAuthenticator would attempt to authenticate. Since both are set to SUFFICIENT, if an authentication against DefaultAuthenticator succeeds, the authentication would be considered "successful".
    Based on all of the above, it seems like whatever the process that is trying to do those authentications is, it has a password that is not "password1" (since if it was using "password1", then the DefaultAuthenticator" would successfully authenticate, and it shouldn't try the OIMAuthenticator), and then OIMAuthenticator is trying to authenticate. Since the USR_PASSWORD is empty, OIMAuthenticator would always fail authentication, and thus the "failed authentication" errors followed by the "soft locked" msgs.
    7) I've tried to track down "what" process is doing the authentications, and I believe that it is EMAGENT. The reason that I say this is that if I stop EMAGENT using opmnctl, the "soft locked" messages stop.
    8) I've tried to set the "monitoring credentials" for the "weblogic" user in EM, to match the "password1", but even after I do that, I still see the "soft locked" msgs, and if I unlock the 'WEBLOGIC' use in OIM, then I get several "failed authentication" followed by the "soft locked" msgs again.
    9) I did an experiment (I'm running this under VMware, so I was able to do a snapshot and then revert after the experiment), where I set the password for the 'WEBLOGIC' user in OIM Admin to the "Password1", and after I did that, the "soft locked" errors stopped, so I believe that whatever process is attempting to authenticate is using the "Password1" password, rather than the "password1" password.
    I also have another earlier installation, that I installed using the "normal" way, i.e., letting the config.sh create a new WL domain, and that works and I don't get these "soft locked" msgs at all. That configuration also has USR_PASSWORD empty in the OIM database USR table.
    So, the question that I have is how do I get the EMAGENT to use the "password1" password instead of the "Password1" password?
    As I mentioned above, I tried changing that in the EM monitoring credentials, but that didn't seem to fix the problem (still got "soft locked" msgs).
    Maybe I've been staring at this problem too long, and am missing something, so I hope that someone can post some suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Hi,
    I'm afraid that I'm not doing a very good job explaining what worries me.
    Specifically, I don't understand WHY the authentication of the 'weblogic' user against the DefaultAuthenticator is failing. I know that the reason that OIM is locking the 'WEBLOGIC' user is that the DefaultAuthenticator authentication is failing, causing the attempt to authenticate against the OIMAuthenticator (which also fails because USR_PASSWORD is empty), but why is that authentication against DefaultAuthenticator failing?
    More particularly, I'd really like to find out how to change the password that whatever is trying to do that authentication is using.
    As I said, I tried changing the monitoring credentials in EM already. I think that that actually changed SOMETHING, but not everything. Before that I was seeing 3 soft locked msgs every minute. After I changed the monitoring credentials to a completely different user that I created in the WL Console (emagent_monitor, member of the Monitors group in WL Console), instead of getting 3 msgs per minute, I'm now getting 1 msg per minute.
    So, it appears that it's something else, other than the monitoring credentials, i.e., something else (I don't know what) is trying to authenticate with the 'weblogic' user, but with bad password.
    Jim
