Strange alignment issue when making composition...

I have altered the blank composition and have placed the target below the trigger, but no matter what I do, they won't align on their left/right sides. It snaps to what I am guessing it considers the edge, but as shown in the image below, they aren't aligned. I also check the X coordinates of each piece and it says they are the same. Both objects have a fill but no stroke. I don't have this problem with regular shapes, so I have no idea whats going on. Any ideas? Is this just a bug? The x and y valuse in the image are as Muse reports them.

Alignement issue when exporting to PDF

Hello,
I'm having some alignment issues when exporting an InDesign file to PDF.
I have a couple of square pictures, touching eachother at the edges. These are aligned bang on in InDesign (the lines overlap), but when exporting to a PDF and viewing in there, it seems that some seem to jump up slightly.
Is this just a display issue or a setting issue when exporting to PDF?
Thanks
Benny

The detail is cropped too tight for me to tell how many photos are intersecting there. Is there a vertical intersection as well? If not, I think you're looking at a very slightly non-rectangular frame, if there is, then you might still be looking at a non-rectangular frame, or the frames are not perfectly aligned, which doesn't surprise me if you snapped to a guide -- I find that less than 100% reliable since CS6.
Presuming that you've zoomed in to show us the problem, that's probably a single pixel misalignment and you'd be very hard pressed to see it in printed output without a loupe.
You can check the bottom edge of the top photo, and the top edge of the bottom photo(s) for being out of horizontal by using the direct select tool to select the corner points and seeing if the y-coordinate is the same on both sides of the frame.
My printer tell me to always overlap frames, rather than butting them, for trapping, for what that's worth, but I don't always do what he says, and I've never had a problem.

JTable text alignment issues when using JPanel as custom TableCellRenderer

Hi there,
I'm having some difficulty with text alignment/border issues when using a custom TableCellRenderer. I'm using a JPanel with GroupLayout (although I've also tried others like FlowLayout), and I can't seem to get label text within the JPanel to align properly with the other cells in the table. The text inside my 'panel' cell is shifted downward. If I use the code from the DefaultTableCellRenderer to set the border when the cell receives focus, the problem gets worse as the text shifts when the new border is applied to the panel upon cell selection. Here's an SSCCE to demonstrate:
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import javax.swing.GroupLayout;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.border.Border;
import javax.swing.table.TableCellRenderer;
import javax.swing.table.TableColumn;
import sun.swing.DefaultLookup;
public class TableCellPanelTest extends JFrame {
private class PanelRenderer extends JPanel implements TableCellRenderer {
    private JLabel label = new JLabel();
    public PanelRenderer() {
      GroupLayout layout = new GroupLayout(this);
      layout.setHorizontalGroup(layout.createParallelGroup().addComponent(label));
      layout.setVerticalGroup(layout.createParallelGroup().addComponent(label));
      setLayout(layout);
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
      if (isSelected) {
        setBackground(table.getSelectionBackground());
      } else {
        setBackground(table.getBackground());
      // Border section taken from DefaultTableCellRenderer
      if (hasFocus) {
        Border border = null;
        if (isSelected) {
          border = DefaultLookup.getBorder(this, ui, "Table.focusSelectedCellHighlightBorder");
        if (border == null) {
          border = DefaultLookup.getBorder(this, ui, "Table.focusCellHighlightBorder");
        setBorder(border);
        if (!isSelected && table.isCellEditable(row, column)) {
          Color col;
          col = DefaultLookup.getColor(this, ui, "Table.focusCellForeground");
          if (col != null) {
            super.setForeground(col);
          col = DefaultLookup.getColor(this, ui, "Table.focusCellBackground");
          if (col != null) {
            super.setBackground(col);
      } else {
        setBorder(null /*getNoFocusBorder()*/);
      // Set up our label
      label.setText(value.toString());
      label.setFont(table.getFont());
      return this;
public TableCellPanelTest() {
    JTable table = new JTable(new Integer[][]{{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}}, new String[]{"A", "B", "C"});
    // set up a custom renderer on the first column
    TableColumn firstColumn = table.getColumnModel().getColumn(0);
    firstColumn.setCellRenderer(new PanelRenderer());
    getContentPane().add(table);
    pack();
public static void main(String[] args) {
    EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
      public void run() {
        new TableCellPanelTest().setVisible(true);
}There are basically two problems:
1) When first run, the text in the custom renderer column is shifted downward slightly.
2) Once a cell in the column is selected, it shifts down even farther.
I'd really appreciate any help in figuring out what's up!
Thanks!

1) LayoutManagers need to take the border into account so the label is placed at (1,1) while labels just start at (0,0) of the cell rect. Also the layout manager tend not to shrink component below their minimum size. Setting the labels minimum size to (0,0) seems to get the same effect in your example. Doing the same for maximum size helps if you set the row height for the JTable larger. Easier might be to use BorderLayout which ignores min/max for center (and min/max height for west/east, etc).
2) DefaultTableCellRenderer uses a 1px border if the UI no focus border is null, you don't.
3) Include a setDefaultCloseOperation is a SSCCE please. I think I've got a hunderd test programs running now :P.

Strange layers issue when printing

Hi Guys,
I am having a strange issue which is probably easy to fix however I am not a heavy adobe user and dont know where to start.
This is the rough process to explain my point but a summary is - when printing PDF files they do not appear as they do on screen.
A picture/document is created in Adobe Illustrator, an outline PDF is then created and saved
I can open the outline PDF successfully, in newer versions of PDF Reader (v8+) the PDF displays on screen correctly. In older versions the PDF is missing lines or various things.
If I print this PDF all these lines etc still missing. I know this sounds vague but I will try and explain.
An example is this - the document is a black box with a silver smaller box on top in the centre. On the screen it shows correctly. When I print, the black box is printed with no silver box.
I have just discovered that the silver box is actually printed however its printed in the background so I think its got to do with layers? If I make the black box to be white, and then print I can see my silver box, so its clear it has been printed in the wrong order.
Oh another thing I have found is the default format for saving PDF files is v1.5 if I choose an older version, the layers are printed correctly
I have both Adobe reader installed on Mac's and PC and the issue happens on both
Surely all the printers I have can't be all in-compatible
Printers:
Kyocera KM-4050
Kyocera FSC5200
Canon MX850
Lanier MP2500
Lanier MP2800

This is not a scanning resolution factor and I have been scanning this way for years. These scans are not photos but documents. This problem just started. And as I said before, the problem also occurs when doing a save as from Illustrator, as well as supplied files from clients, so the scanning process has nothing to do with it. I just can't get them to print right.

Strange audio issue when running render queue via script.

The issue I'm having with AE is odd, and I'm hoping someone may be able to shed light on the matter. I have a very simple composition that, when I render out using the GUI, everything works as expected. The video renders fine, the audio renders fine, etc. However, when I invoke a script that runs the .aep file, sets the render queue for the composition in question, and then renders it, only the video comes through, but no audio. There is nothing in my script prior to the setting up of the render queue that alters any audio layers (i.e. no code shutting off audio, etc.) Has anybody ever encountered this? The audio file is a .wav in 44.1KHz, 16bit, stereo, and will try other formats to see if the problem might with the file itself? Although, I don't see how that would be the case if it is rendering just fine via the GUI.
Any help you can offer for troubleshooting would be great! Thanks for your help and time!

Thanks for your suggestion. It wasn't the output module. I created a custom template for it and ensured the audio was checked. It was an odd fix. I deleted the audio layer, then dragged it back to the timline. Then, it worked. Cost me like two hours of work for that, and I should have checked it earlier. But I still don't know why the original wasn't working.

IPhoto issue when making albums

While trying to make an album with blurb I encountered an issue with iPhoto. While tusing the share function to create an album (Full of the pictures I want to use in the blurb album) it 'quit unexpectedly due to core media plug in'. Do I have to reinstall? I seem to remeber seeing a pop up that told me to do this but it seems very radical. I did export all my pictures to my documents file in finder (I have not yet managed to buy an external hard drive and the one I have for my PC is blocked through bit-locker). Help please (very new mac user still struggling with iphoto!)

I'm not clear on your problem
How does the "share" button enter into this?

Excel 2007 Formatting Issues When Making PDF

Running Excel 2007 on XP Pro. When I make a pdf file from an existing Excel file in Excel 2007 (originally created in Excel 2000), a lot of the formatting changes. Cells that were aligned to the center are now aligned to the top or bottom with no rhyme or reason.
I would hate to have to go through and fix all the alignment problems in Excel 2007.
Any suggestions or has anybody else had this problem?

Not so much Excel (or, at least not so much that I remember) but I've read a

Strange graphics issue when looking at JPGs in Safari and Preview.

I am having an issue in Safari and Preview under OS X 10.4.11. I have the exact same issue in both Safari 3 and 4(beta). The blacks on JPG images aren't black they are a dark brownish grey, all other colours show up properly. If I open the same website in Flock everything looks fine. If I download the image and open it up in Photoshop the image also looks fine. To make it even stranger if I open the image up in photoshop and re-save it as a tif file and open the tif file in Safari or Preview it looks normal. It just how it's handling JPGs!
See the following link for an image showing the issue... note the dark brownish grey colour around the watch:
http://c77ilw.blu.livefilestore.com/y1p66KB-yBArvIBleY3s1wGZ8EgAyxRd8VLnJ9XA9zJz gPUgIBbvM5aSqPz59g1nC5TehmACKYCw/Picture%201.png
Now look at what it's supposed to look like:
http://c77ilw.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pLSnu9AVt-IrsQNhBYUAS6OAAGQU2Tm7H8P9JPp9ba h4Y9wJR9bRYAGu6gLBodHXwGZaPqtzSUyI/1236465600.jpg
Any ideas? I've tried googling everything I can think of about this issue and haven't found anyone with the same or similar situation.

I believe it to be an issue with how Safari and Preview are displaying colours under OS X, the strange thing is about 4 weeks ago I had not problems with Safari displaying these types of images and can't think of any settings I changed around that time. Safari under Windows does not show this issue and it is not showing the issue on a different Mac running Safari under OS X 10.4.11 either, so it has to be a setting somewhere that inadvertently was changed I think.
Again it is only showing on black and near black colours no other part of the image is affected.
Below is a link I made in photoshop comparing a screen grab of the issue (top half) vs a downloaded copy (bottom half) of the image with raised curves to accentuate the difference for those who may have darker gamma settings and are having trouble seeing the problem.

Spacing Issues when making PDF of HTML file

I am making changes to a website and need to convert an html file into a pdf file (for easy printability on the website). When I try to create the PDF file (in Acrobat) by opening the HTML file, it does not keep the same formating. Anyplace there is a picture on right hand side of the page, the wording to the left of the picture drops to below the picture and I need it to stay next to the picture.
Any suggestions? Thanks

You might also have to change the paper size before you print. Keep in mind that HTML has a floating format and typically looks different on different machines.

WRT54G Strange connection issue when wireless security is enabled

The model # is WRT54G v2.2 with firmware 4.21.1. I knew that my internet connection was good because I connected my laptop directly to the wireless antenna. When the antenna is connected to my wireless router I can't connect, wired or wireless. I decided to reset the router and program back in the changes that I have made. I checked for internet connection after the reset, it's there. Made more changes, still good. Then when I enabled wireless security using WEP the wired and wireless internet connection goes away. Any ideas to fix this. Can I go back to the previous version of firmware?

hi... go to ftp.linksys.com/pub/network and try downloading older firmware for the router and downgrade the firmware, after that reset the router back to factory default settings and reconfigure it...

Strange playback issue when GPU accel on.

Premiere CC - all latest updates. Nvidia diver - latest 337.88

I had changed the origins of each of the 4 video tracks to 0,0 and then positioned them, it almost appears like using CUDA it ignores the origins of the 4 tracks.... if I turn off GPU acceleration, plays fine.

Strange PDC issue when inserting compressor on a group with side chain

Hi Forum People!
Seem to have hit a brick wall trouble shooting this issue, and hope someone here can help.
Whenever I insert a compressor on a bus, and send a sidechain trigger to the compressor, PDC stops working for all multi-output synths. I can sidechain stereo tracks without an issue, but not group tracks with mutliple tracks routed through the groups.
For the record, as soon as I remove the send to the sidechain, PDC works normally.
Is this a limitation of Logic's PDC, or is there a workaround that I haven't discovered?
Many thanks for your time
Steve

LOL! Sorry, didn't have time to respond yesterday. The problem was the way in which I'd set-up the group. Here's how I had the group set up, which broke PDC:
I created an auxiliary track (the group), inserted a compressor, and routed my drums direct to this group.
Here's how I fixed the problem:
instead of creating an aux channel for the group, I routed my drum outputs through an unused bus, which in turn created the group channel automatically.
I've only been using Logic for 1 month, having used Cubase for nearly 20 years, so realizing some things are done very differently.
Thanks chaps!

Strange quality issues when saving for web and devices.

Im a UI designer and spend lots of time working with illustrator and photohop. When I design I normally create vector mockps of my work and then export slices using artboards and save for web and devices. Yesterday Illustrator started having problems exporting files. The files look good on my computer, when viewed with pixel preview mode but when i export they look really bad. here is an example:
This is a screen shot of a part of a mobile app im working on at 100 % and 200 %
here is the same area when exported using "save for web and devices" at 100% and 200%:
as you can see there is a dramatic loss in quality. the icons look almost like a low color gif...
Here is what I have tried already:
I have tried changing the settings in the exporter. I normally use png 24 but I have tried all the different settings and they all do about the same thing. the only one that seems to look ok are swf and svg.
I have copied my files over to photoshop and exported from there. that works fine but it is a pain.
any help would be great.

Audio-Video alignment issues when exporting

Hi everyone, I'm a first-time user of this message board and I would appreciate your help.
I use iMovie HD 6.0.3 (267.2), and recently when I have exported my movie projects to iDVD (or quicktime, for that matter), I notice that the sound plays back at a slower pace than the visual part. Eventually you can see a huge gap between when the sound plays and the accompanying visual part appears. I have used iMovie for awhile and I hope it is not simply being overused, but are there any ideas on how to fix it? I'd GREATLY appreciate help.
Thanks so much.

Hi
Can it be so that Your Camera records in 12-bit audio
iMovie must have 16-bit audio (set Camera to this so further recordings will work)
Try select all clips in TimeLine (audio track view) - go up to Advance menu and
then down to "Extract Audio"
This helps in some cases.
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
iMovie pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. *com.apple.iMovie.plist *
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Garageband-fix. Start it, Play a note and Close it. Re-try (Corrects an audio problem that hinders iMovie)
• Screen must be set to Million-colors
• Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09)
iMovie updated ?
QuickTime updated ?
Mac OS version ?
• Program miss-match. iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
• Program miss-match. iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iMovie’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
From LKN 1935. (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

I run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac.
