Template vs object library

hi all
i want to know that
designing forms using template is better than using object library
or not?
how could i make an object library and use it?
if you have any idea please guide me.
thanks

"The problem with OL is, that you cannot maintain your OL after creating it"
Huh? Of course you can maintain an OL after creating it, as long as you know how...
To add an item to the library, just drag it in from a form.
To remove an item from the library, just select it and press delete.
To edit an item you have to be sneaky - drag it from the library into a form, select "Copy" when it asks you what to do, update the properties you want to change, delete the original item from the library and drag the revised item into the library.
Now to go back to original question about what to use, there's very little to choose between them, but I'd go for Object Libraries because of "smartclasses". If you have, say, a checkbox in your object library, you can mark it as a "smartclass". Now, when you place a checkbox in the layout editor you can right-click on it and the "smartclass" appears in the menu. Very quick and easy way of ensuring all items pick up standard properties.

  • ID CS3 - Objects from Object Library change unexpectedly, not wanted!

    Hi,
    Our production group has experienced this on several occasions. We create catalogs, so need a number of objects in our object library... boxes, charts, price points, icons, logos... trouble is that sometime after I set them up, they change unexpectedly. No one is updating the objects.
    For instance, our standard box below charts is supposed to have a .5 pt. 50% black rule. At times when we drag it into a document, it comes in as 1 pt. 100% black! Not good! I need to have these objects flawless, for consistency, and just so everyone in the dept. doesn't have to remember sizes, screens, etc.
    We work from three templates (inside pages, back cover, front cover)... is there an overriding object style which I may need to turn off? Or what?
    Thanks for your help, and I'll be happy to answer any questions to help get to the bottom of this!
    Mary Sargeant

    Thanks David. I think you've got it!
    Now here's the next question. I've revised all of our templates, our object styles are all set, as well as paragraph and character styles.
    I have instructed the staff to use the new templates-- however we use some of our old pages, so we will be dragging in items (objects, text) from old layouts onto the new templates. Won't these old styles populate the style panels... and is there a way I can get the new styles to override the old? (Aside from re-naming them all).

  • Adobe Photoshop 8.0 Object Library for PSE 8 ?

    Hi
    I want to write a program to loop over all tags and copy the associated fotos to folders named with the tag-name. By this way I have a good structure to select the fotos on stick / DigiFrame.
    I'm a Unify TeamDeveloper developer, so it's no problem for me. But: in TD I can generate the COM classes to access PSE. I think the right object library for this is Adobe Photoshop 8.0 Object Library.
    I have a complete installation of PSE 8 on my computer but this Object Library is not present.
    Does Adobe Photoshop 8.0 Object Library not serve for PSE8? Where can I get it?
    the one I have is Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 Media Client 1.0 Type Library. There are some methods like GetTags. But what is the input parameter tagIds? The return is a object. But the Media Client has no class Tags.
    I also searched google, perhaps already exists a plugin for such a export. But I found nothing.
    Can anybody help me?
    Best regards
    Thomas

    I have found a solution (psedbtools).

  • How to share a object library

    Dear Adobe Community,
    I am using the Adobe (JetForm) Output Designer Version 5.4.0. 130
    As we are working in a team on several forms (IFDs), which include
    some objects from a object library, we would like to share the same library
    within the team. I could not find any option to export / import objects from one
    library to another one.
    Is there a possibility to share the same library with multiple users, for example on a
    network-share-drive? If yes, how can we implement this?
    Thanks in advance for your input.
    Best regards
    Jan

    hi Michel,
    Here is all the info I have on sharing.
    SHARING IPHOTO LIBRARIES
    Sharing libraries between users on the same local network
    You can also share a library on the same machine between users the same way.
    Sharing libraries between users on the same machine...
    -both users must have sharing enabled in their iPhoto Preferences
    -both users must be logged in and have iPhoto running
    -Remember that you can only view the other library. You can't edit the photos or play the saved slideshows or view the made books or burn them to CD or DVD. The books and slideshows will show up as an album. You can play that album as an "on the fly" slideshow. You can drag images from the sharing library to your library in the source column to import them to your library. You can then edit, add to albums, books, slideshow, etc.
    Sharing links from Apple....

    About shared photos
    Turning off photo sharing
    Looking for shared photos
    SHARING ONE IPHOTO LIBRARY BETWEEN USERS ON SAME MACHINE
    You can try one of these three methods:
    1- Use iPhoto Library Manager-the paid version
    The documentation page will give instructions on how it is done.
    2- Sharing one iPhoto library between several users on one machine
    3- Share an iPhoto Library in tiger Using ACL's
    4- I have also read about ShareAlike
    There is no other info on the site about how it works.
    I strongly urge anyone wanting to try any of the methods for sharing one iPhoto Library folder among more than one user to backup all iPhoto Library folders before attemptin anything.

  • How to load the object library at run time from within the script.

    What i am trying to do from my library is that I wanted to load the object library file (.properties) file at run time through the script. I know that open script has a deprecated method "ft.loadObjectLibrary". Is there any other method other than the deprecated one?. Also is there a way that I can unload the library?
    Thanks,

    Create one Object Library. In OpenScript click File -> New -> Select Object Library under Script Assets.
    Then mention name of your library and save it.
    Add this library to script assets of your script. Select Script -> Script Properties... -> Script Assets -> Object Library -> Add(button) -> select your Object Library.
    Then save  your script and start recording. After recording you can see xpath of all objects you interacted with during your script recording.
    If you want to apply this to your script, select Script -> Apply Object Library.. -> then select your Object Library. If you want to revert it, then select Script --> Revert All Navigation To Recorded
    Hope this will help you...

  • How to change objects in object library?

    I saved an object in the object library and used it as parent object to create some subclass objects in several form modules. Now I want to modify the object in the object library so all the subclass objects can inherit the changes made in the parent object. How can I change the object saved in the library?

    1- Open New Form
    2- Drag the object you want to modify to it
    3- Modify it in the opened Form
    4- Drag it back to the Object Library
    Rem: Be sure all Forms that are using this object are closed when you start this procedure.
    Hope this help,
    Ahmed.

  • Form Builder 6.0 object library

    Hello,
    I created an object library in Form Builder 6.0, which I have
    used to develop two forms.
    The other member of my team wishes to use the same object
    library. When she loads it from my directory, it loads OK, but
    when she subclasses any of her objects nothing happens. I can
    see the red arrow on the object indicating that it was
    subclassed but the changes are not registered on the layout
    editor nor the form when it runs.
    Can anyone help?
    null

    double click the read arrow and it should turn black. A black
    arrow is a sub-classed item with the sub-class applied, red
    indicates sub-classed item with the sub-class not applied.

  • Object Library Concept in Report ???

    Hi Friends
    Is anybody aware of any concept in Report, similar to object library in forms.
    1.Field's font, color, size etc.
    2.Common Header and Footer information in many reports
    Sudhanshu

    the answer is no. However, there is a separate project that supports just that: http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org. In particular, take a look at this page: http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/prop-java-classpath-n.html

  • Problem with object Library

    Hi
    I created object library containing some Objects and property classes.While implementation of the objects(using smart class) and property class (using property palette) to canvas or LOV,some properties not appeared to be inherited after applying smart class or property class.
    These are specially BG color and FG color.But it is working fine with some object and not working with some others.
    Can any body help me in figure out the problem.
    I am using Form builder 10g.
    Thanks in advance
    Mandeep

    i did not mean the ruler and the grid.
    There is a "forms property" called Coordinate System.
    You find it under the physical node in the property palette of your form module.
    What is the Coordinate System and important, what is the Real unit?
