Table cell borders not always visible

I created a PDF out of an existing Word doc. The doc is a table. The visibility of the table borders is unpredictable in the PDF. At certain zoom levels some disappear/reappear, and there doesn't seem to be a consistent pattern or behavior. Any thoughts?

This process is not intuitive.
Try this to understand how it works.
With Apply formatting to: Whole Table, change the border
colour to red.
You will see just the border for the Whole Table change, that
is the outer border.
Without exiting the editor, change "Apply formatting to" even
rows. Note the colour picker will change and so will the border
size in the Border controls. Change that to what you red and 1px as
well, now do that for for odd rows.
I think by now you will be getting the hang of it.
Post back if still in trouble.

Table cell Borders not appearing

I am creating a basic table style. I want a header row that
has shading, with headings in bold and centered. When I create a
table style, this is no problem to set up.
I want the rows underneath the header to all have plain black
1-pixel vertical and horizontal borders. When I edit the table
style, it lets me have vertical or horizontal borders, but not
both. If I select to have horizontal, it puts them in. Then if I
select vertical, it removes the horizontal. When I click on Whole
Table, it doesn't change. It doesn't apply the borders to all the
cells.
I appreciate any help anyone can give me!
Thanks,
Kathleen Baine

Lines in shaded table cells do not render properly in pdf created in Word 2010

When creating a pdf with shaded table cells using MS Word 2010; the black lines in the shaded table cells do not show up when looking at the page at a fit page view (anything under around 60%). They print, they are there when I zoom in, but will not show up if you zoom out.
I read a forum post in Adobe here which gave some really logical suggestions, but they didn't seem to work for everyone or the level of effort was not what i can put into it. I also tried some of those and variations of those; but they didn't seem to work.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/305508
Did anyone come up with a solution? Some people were saying it's a bug in pdf software, if that is the case, has anyone heard of a resolution?
I'm using Windows 7 and word 2010 btw, to create the pdf.
Thanks!!

Just as a test, have you tried the MS plugin for PDF creation? I have found with other versions of WORD and Acrobat that PDF Maker and the MS plugin can both fill in dots and dashes on vector graphics (basically what the border is) and yet it comes out correctly with printing to the Adobe PDF printer. Unfortunately I do not have a solution. In my case, it seemed to be related to the vector graphic itself (I could import it to InkScape or other vector graphic tool and save to EMF and it then worked fine. It may be something that MS themselves have messed up in OFFICE 2013. Good luck.

InDesign Table Cell Strokes not appearing perfect

How do you get row and column strokes in a table to appear perfectly joined? When I choose "Column Strokes in Front" (Under Table Setup) i still see a tiny row stroke, and vice versus.. it's really visible in the PDF almost can't see it in InDesign though you can a little...

Thank you, although I doubled and even tripled checked the blue highlighted cell option and they visibly appear to be selected and in blue color, but when printed not the case.
This document is a product catalog, 50 plus pages and I have about 15 of those pages not showing the stroked edge. So that is why I thought, perhaps something was blocking the edge and arranged the table to the front with hopes of a difference, but that too failed. I am turning grey by the minute.

Cell borders not expanding using nested subforms

I have an existing form whose table was created using subforms (not a table object). I found this post which addresses my issue: Cell Borders in tables of adobe form. However, I'm still having an issue and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
The subform 'ITEM' contains 12 columns. I wrapped column 12 into a subform and named it Subform12. I then wrapped column 11 and Subform12 into a subform and called it Subform11. I continued to do this for the remaining 10 columns. I removed the borders for each individual column and instead set the border for each SubformXX. I also selected 'Auto-Fit' for the height for each SubformXX. The sixth column is the column that can contain multiple lines of text. After doing this the first 6 columns expand correctly, however, the last 6 do not.
Can someone please tell me what I'm missing?
Thanks!
Julie

Hi Julie,
Can't you just do the following:
For the first cell (the one with the large amount of text), you but on the right border
You take this cell together with the next one and put it into a flowed subform with the right border
Then you take this subform together with the next one:
Repeat number 3:
Kind regards,

How to turn table cell borders on

No matter what I do, certain cell borders are turned off and they have different thicknesses. I want all borders of all cells in all tables in the page always turned on. I can't see any way to do this in CS6, the border button has disappeared. If it helps the cells can span multiple columns and/or rows. I don't see any difference in the source code for old tables created in a previous version and new tables.

CSS code:
table td {
border: 1px solid #CCC; /**adjust values as desired**/

How do I remove unwanted table/ cell borders in firefox

I just built my website in dreamweaver. When I preview it, it
looks fine in both firefox & safari. However when i post and
view my site online, i see unwanted cel borders in firefox...I've
already checked the code and the border is set to 0 - any help is
much appreciated
thanks! Maura

Hi Maura,
Nice site and great art!
I see the borders in firefox but not in internet explorer.
I'm no expert on this, but have you tried altering the cell
padding and cell spacing value - for example, both to zero? Does
this help?

10 Bit in Photoshop CS5 not always visible. Why?

Hi,
im using an Eizo CG243W with an ATI FirePro 4800 and Win7 64 + the PS CS5 Trial (runs out soon, im thinking about buying PS CS5 if this Problem gets solved anyway).
Ok, i activated 10Bit in the newest ATI Driver and in Photoshop. It works, but not all the time. When i open an Image i can see its 10 Bit but
when i move the Picture or Zoom in/out it gets down to 8 bit and stays there until i click somewhere else, open a menu or do something.
So the 10 Bit is not always active. When i paint with a brush on the image when 10 Bit is active, it gets down to 8 bit and sometimes when
i press and hold space, it gets back to 10 Bit.
Any clues?

I have the same Problem.
When i open the ATI Testfile RAMP.PSD i see that it is in 10Bit but when i zoom in or even move the mouse over the image, the 8bit Banding gets visible. Very strange. My system uses newest ATI Drivers.
Tried everything from resetting the Drivers (FirePro 4800) and playing around in the Photoshop OpenGL Settings.
The Windows 7 Aero design gets put off by the ATI Driver itself when you enable the 10 Bit in the Driver-menu.
Did anyone else notice this? 10 Bit works for my Eizo+FirePro but that strange behavior when you move the mouse around or zoom or brush isnt normal at all.
Btw. If i can test something i have the time to test anything about about 10bit in Photoshop CS5

Want Flash movie to scale with table cell. NOT WORKING!

Greetings;
I have authored a Flash movie and it is working fine. When I
use the html page output by Flash it scales fine but when I cut and
paste this code into a table cell the movie will not scale (in
Firefox) and not showup at all in IE 7.
Help appreciated. Here is the html page output by Flash:
http://www.howardbakerphotography.com/gallery/bakerGallery.html
(Scaling fine)
Here is the content placed inside a simple table cell:
http://www.howardbakerphotography.com/gallery/index3.php
(Only shows up small not scaling)
Help appreciated.
Rip

Found the solution myself! It appears the problem was in the
document type I was declaring:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Transitional//EN" "
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
*The above was preventing my Flash from scaling when placed
in a table cell. When I changed it to:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
Transitional//EN" >
It worked fine.
I'd be curious to know a little more about this problem if
anyone else has some insight ...
Is this document type I've gone to now an older one and going
to eventually go away?

Form ,Table with borders not printing in other Printers

Hi All,
I am trying to print a smartform with original language as Arabic .
When I am taking a print out with Laser Jet printer , the table is coming with borders and everything is perfect .
But when I am trying to take out print with other printers ,Table borders are not showing up .
Please let me know the cause of this issue .

Hi Joe,
You can check with your SPAD configurations.
SPAD->Device Type->Attributes Tab
If its a dot matrix printer it won't print vertical lines. Different printers have different print margins. This could be also a reason as you are shifting different printer types on the same smartform.

If the table cell can not receive a virtual key?

Hello,
Want to execuate a "copy/paste" function in the table control. I hope type the "Ctrl+c" to copy text in a cell, but nothing to do with the "ctrl" key pressed.
David

Table can receive and trap Ctrl + someCharacter in keypress event: you can discriminate the keys pressed with this code:
if (event == EVENT_KEYPRESS) {
if (GetKeyPressEventModifiers (eventData2) == VAL_MENUKEY_MODIFIER) {
sprintf (msg, "Ctrl + %c pressed.", GetKeyPressEventCharacter (eventData2));
MessagePopup ("Notice", msg);
else if (event == EVENT_VAL_CHANGED)
MessagePopup ("Notice", "Cell value changed.");
Unfortunately, if the table is in edit mode Ctrl-C and Ctrl+V appear to be trapped by the system at low level and not to be passed to the control callback. Within CVI you can trap EVENT_VAL_CHANGED event, but I see no way to discriminate between a user type-in and a paste operation except for trapping whether a previous keypress event was received, which can be a troubled way to go. I can't see a way to trap Ctrl+C.
There may be a method to get those event using some windows API but I don't know it.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

Substituted Drive Not Always Visible in Windows Explorer

We have a 2008 server with terminal services enabled and the login script is used to subst I: to a folder on a local hard disk eg. SUBST I: D:\FOLDER
When the domain administrator is logged in via an RDP session they have an entry for I: shown in windows explorer. If a user logs in while the domain administrator is logged in they also see I: in explorer but if a user logs in when the administrator is not logged in they don't. Attempts to access I: from the command line are always successful and the substitution can be seen by typing SUBST at the command line.
Any idea what's going on?

Steve,
I would suggest that in your case it is eather a bug or a coincidence with other applications or permission sets.
I have had the same setup in couple of environments and I have not had such a problem. The subst was
excetud from logon scripts and it worked.
I would suggest you to use Process Monitor from Sysinternals:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx
and run it when the users have the issue of not being able to access the I: drive.
Look for regestry and fily system access denied entier and you will come to the resolution.
I guess for someone else it would be difficult to reproduce this issue.

Table cell height not correct

I have a table with 21 rows. Every other row is used as a separator between the rows with content. These separator rows don't have anything in them and their height is set to 1 in the properties inspector. I'm assuming these heights and widths are in pixels, however, these rows don't appear to be 1px in design view nor on a live web page.They are more like 15px.
How can I make these rows 1px in height?

That site has badly malformed code.
http://tinyurl.com/36z7sc8
I'm guessing it's cobbled togather from various bits and pieces including the ChronoForm code?
Regarding the cell heights, the code of a typical cell is:
<td width="95" height="1"> </td>
The code between the <td> tags (known as a non-breaking space) is a space character (pressing the spacebar on your keyboard generates this code in the HTML).
Removing the space from the code for each <td> will cause your cells to collapse. You may need to prop them open with a 1px high GIF as Murray suggested.

Table cell borders

When I have a table set up with thin line borders in Numbers '09 on my laptop, save to iCloud and then open in Numbers on iPad the borders are gone!

Pinch to a greater zoom and see if they return.
