Text boxes and exporting to pdf

I am making my wedding invitations in PAGES. I have inserted a text box on the sheet, and have the text box outlined by a light grey line so when it comes time to cut the invites, I have a guide. I have adjusted the page margins so that there are no margins. The corner of one of the text boxes is flush with the corner of the page (thus only 2 lines of the text box show).
I exported this to PDF, and it looks great. I print it on my prnter at home, and everything looks great. However, when I print the PDF from my PC at work, the text box is no longer flush along the edge of the paper, I can see the complete outline of the text box. I thought as soon as it is in PDF format that it should not change no matter what printer you are using.
Help?

Three possibilities:
1 The text box has an opaque background
2 You have a drop shadow off the text box.
3 You have some kind of stroke on the box.
Turn them off by setting them to none in the appropriate tab in the Inspector

    Reader doesn’t create pdf files. You can use Acrobat (ask in that forum) to create pdfs. You can subscribe to the Adobe PDF Pack which has a create pdf functionality (please ask in that forum), or you can use a third party utility such as ghostscript, cutepdf, or Microsoft’s own PDF creation capability. For third party pdf creation you will need to ask in a forum dedicated to that software as fellow users of Reader are unlikely to have the knowledge to help.

    I typed in data into the highlighted text box, and then tried to print my form.  However, when printed, the copy only showed a portion of my answer.  Is there a way to expand Adobe Reader's highlighted text to show my full response, or should I make my responses only as long as the highlighted portion allows?

    While printing any pdf file it will print the visible text only. To overcome this, the form needs to be dynamic so that it expands in layout while entering more data. Usually dynamic forms are developed by Adobe LiveCycle Designer.

  • Text Boxes and Lines on Full Screen Images?

    In iBooks Author I'm trying to create images with text boxes and lines overlayed on top of the images (I don't like the interactive image widget, I want just text with no gray box and a single line of text, no need for title and description, also don't need the zoom capability on each label).  I can do this fine in a basic, two column layout but when I tap on an image within a figure to see it full screen on the iPad I want the text and lines to also come full screen.  Any ideas?  I seemed to have a solution by enabling placeholder text authoring but that's proven inconsistent.

    Sound like a 'group'.
    Whatever works
    Good luck

  • Place multiple pdfs into separate indesign and export to pdf again

    Ok I have a lot of PDFs that I need to place into indesign in their own file, then re-export back as a PDF again.
    Can anyone recommend a script for this if there is one? All the pdfs have different page counts etc. and I don't need to save the Indesign file.
    I just want to put all the PDFs into their own InDesign file and reexport to PDF again. They are all A4 sized PDFs, 210 x 297mm.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thanks harbs
    I need to Save all the pdfs as RTF, and some of the PDFs have bad tags and won't allow me to save as RTF.
    I can batch process them in Acrobat to Print to PDF and that works for some, but not all the PDFs, it won't print some of them back to PDF.
    I have 100's of these "bad pdfs" and it would be great to be able to place them all into separate indesign files and export out as pdf again. It will be tedious to run the PDF importer and export for all of the files.
    I don't need to save the indesign file, just place and export the pdf again.
    Just looking to automate the process.

  • Problem with action script 3 make input text box and button....

    Hi every one I am trying to make a family book using "Air for Android" with a simple search engin in the book
    air for android only work with AS3,
    the search function is to type a person's name and hit submit then go to a specific frame.
    have a problem making below code to work in AS3 and hopefully one of you guys can lead me in the right direction to fix the issue.
    Currently, I have an input text box and a button. When you type specific words into the input box and then hit the button it sends you to a specific frame.
    (it work find in AS2 but not in AS3,)
    Here is my current code that is placed on the main timeline, first frame:
    stop();
    onEnterFrame = function () {
        submit.onRelease = function() {
            switch (yourname.text) {
            case "name1" :
                gotoAndStop(2);
                break;
            case "name2" :
                gotoAndStop(3);
                break;
    My button that checks if the phrase is correct is called "submit" and my input box has an instance of "yourname".
    My phrases that will be accepted in the input box are "name1" and "name2" which bring me to two different frames.
    Basically, I'm having a problem with making this to work with AS3.

    you should use the default option in the switch statement
    that way yourname contains something not in one of the case statements it will go to the default bit and execute teh code there
    function onSubmit(e:MouseEvent):void
                                  switch (yourname.text)
                                            case "name1":
                                                      gotoAndStop(2);
                                                      break;
                                            case "name2":
                                                      gotoAndStop(3);
                                                      break;
                                            default:
                                                      goToAndStop(you frame you want);
                                            break;

  • Converting images that include text boxes and callouts in FM

    Hello,
    I'm on a new project (TCS 3.5, RH 9, FM 10) that requires me to include text boxes and lines (callouts) on top / in front of many of the images in FM. The reason they are not allowing me to add the text/callouts to the images themselves is because they want to keep the text boxes editable for translation.
    The problem: After importing into RH, these images have white borders on all sides that they didn't have previously and I can't figure out what's causing it.
    When I remove the text/callouts from over the images in question, then reimport, the problem resolves and the white borders disappear. When I view the original image files, there are no borders present. After I import, I view the image file in the RH folder and it does include the border. (So the border is on the image itself.)
    Presently, the Object Properties for the images are as follows:
    Offset From:
    Top: 0.0"
    Left: 0.0"
    Border Width: 0.015 (which is lowest FM allows me to set... I get an error message when I try to enter 0.0)
    Anchored Frame settings:
    Anchoring Position: Below Current Line
    Alignment: Left
    Cropped/Floating: both unchecked
    I've tried many different variations and tests; probably too many to list here. In short, the "border" appears when there is text/callouts on the image and it disappears when I delete the text/callouts. I was hoping that someone may have had a similar issue. Please let me know if you need more info to troubleshoot and thanks for reading.
    Best,
    Tom

    I had the same problem with callouts, but my solution was to add them directly to the image, so that doesn't help you.
    Another things you can try to is ensure that the edges of the image do not touch the edges of the anchored frame. Make sure there is a bit of white space. I don't know why, but when any of my images touch the anchored frame, the conversion looks awful.
    Also, my images appeared best in Robohelp when I set the properties for the image in Robohelp as follows:
    File > Project Settings
    Import tab
    Edit conversion settings for FrameMaker documents
    On the left side, select Image
    Set Width and Height to 0pt (this ensures that the image is not resized)

  • How to get the text boxes and select lists dynamically?

    Hi,
    I have a requirement such that I need to create the text boxes and select lists depending on the user input at the run time. It means that if the user requires four text boxes/select lists then I need to have 4 such thing. If the user need 6 then I need to have 6.
    The design may be such that initially only one text box/select list will be available when the page launches. Then as ad when the user asks for more those will be available to the user accordingly.
    regards,
    Dipankar.

    You can use Ajax to call textboxes and select list based on what user enters.
    Otherwise make those items conditional and based on what user enters you can display textbox or select list.
    You can call Single Textbox and Select List using Ajax for any number of conditions.

  • Text box and radiobutton in smartforms

    Dear Friends,
    How to use text boxes and radiobuttons provided in web properties tab  of text  in smartforms.
    Please give some code if possible .
    Neetesh

    Hi Neetesh,
    U can add text box using  using TEMPLATE.
    right click on a window node->create->template
    You should be able to do that even outside a table / template object.
    However, if you have a tabular format to display and your data is in a internal table, you go for a table object.
    If you don't have the data in a internal table, you usually go for a TEMPLATE object
    Regard,
    Priyanka.

  • Scrollable text box and MSO

    Can you have scrollable text with a tinted colour frame beneath it that sits on top of a MSO slide show? 

    Hi Bob,
    Thanks for the reply. Attached is a screen grab of the sort of theing I'm trying to do. The text bottom right is a scrollabel frame, and the background image is a slide show. When I preview it on the ipad, the background slideshow works, green coloured background to the text box and the graphics dissapper, but the scrollable text stays.
    Any Help?

    Hi markw14322597,
    I've just checked your account: Your subscription order is still pending, which is why you're unable to log in and use your subscription just yet.
    It can take 24-48 hours for an order to process, but once it does you'll be able to log in and convert files.

  • Interactive boxes (e.g. google maps text box) and drop-downs from those boxes go blank white.

    So for certain websites//boxes when I open them they are just blank white, or toolbars on websites will also randomly go between visible and completely white randomly as I scroll. So for example the facebook toolbar randomly goes white, when I try to check my messages//notifications it goes white, the google maps text box and all the drop downs are completely white, etc.

  • [JS, CS3] Change text color and export pdfs

    Hi there,
    I am new to scripting and I am trying to find out if a script exists that will export a PDF, then change all text of a certain color to black, then export another pdf with the same settings as the first, but appending the filename. I've searched the forum and understand about the change color bug, but I haven't seen anything in JavaScript -- It's all been applescript.
    Anyone have any brilliant ideas?
    Help is GREATLY appreciated!
