Text entered into a text box is visible only when the text box is selected (highlighted) How do I get the text in all the text boxes to show up?

I use a Mac. I sent out a pdf form for signatures to 6 recipients. Two of the 6 forms came back and visually are perfect. Signature and date fields show the signature on my screen and when printed. The other 4 forms however only show the signatures/date text when I click on the individual field and the text does not appear when printed or on screen.

Are the users using a Mac as well? If so, are they actually using Adobe Reader or are they using Mac Preview. If the latter, it will break the pdf form.
Here's some info and a possible fix: Correcting PDF Form Field Appearances after Saving with Preview on the Mac

Is there a setting where a text frame (border, color, etc) will be visible only when it has content?

I use data merge a decent amount, often when I am quick prototyping decks of cards for games. (Talk about an awesome tool for quickly cranking out a hundred different cards). I was wondering if it possible to have a text frame style (say a 1pt solid black border, or a yellow background etc.) appear only when there is text inside that frame.
For example the cards need to have different combinations of text on each one. The lower part of this particular card has 30 data field placeholders (15 text frames and 15 graphic frames) that are linked back to my .txt file with data merge. (In the first image below, all 30 data fields have data in them, the other images only have some data applied) The text frames hold the two letter code, the graphics frame is basically a .png of either a rectangle or oval which is on a layer behind the text frame.
It would be awesome if a text frame border was only present when there was content in the text frame. That way I could eliminate all of the graphics frames in this particular case. Is this possible? I knid of don't want to ask this, but is it possible through scripting with some sort of conditional statement? (Iknow very little about scripting except that it exists to do certain tasks on a as needed basis)

There's no one solution. Depends on the context.
When we know what we have and where we want to go, everything becomes simple ...
In your case, the solution I prefer is that with grep styles.
Why? because it is truly magical.
The beginning...
All you finally have to do in the data file is inserting columns of calculation. We can talk later.
This solution with grep style is very simple to define. In ID and Excel (for instance). Because I know how to do. I understand It could be not so simple for another person.

When i click on a photo file in windows , elements opens, then i have to go back into windows and click again to open file , earlier version opens program an file how can i get elements 12 to do the same?

The way I got around the situation was to write a custom folder action and attach it to my Downloads folder. The good thing about this is that it works irrespective of the browser du jour I'm using.
This way you can define any filetype you're interested in to auto-open when a file is created in the Downloads folder (or any other folder of your choosing).
It's not that tricky to add. I think I posted the code here many moons ago so I'll try and track it down...
Edit: It was a post to macosxhints.com that I last linked to: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050122214044554#comments

I just started using a new version of Illustrator and the text I am creating has a pink box behind, looks to be about the depth of the normal linespace, it is not visible in outline view, only in preview. What is it and how do I get rid of it?

Hi Larry. I see. It is a file I have worked on previously, and the font is Myriad which I though came with the system. I just changed to Myriad Pro and the pink box disappeared. Thanks for the assistance, I know a new thing!

If you updated from 2003 that must be on a Windows machine, can you recover them from there?

How can I get a reference to all controls on a front panel of one type )for example of the type Text Ring?

I'd like to set the strings[] property of all the Text Ring controls on a front panel at once without creating a property node for every text ring. How can i do that?

This is likely more complicated than making property nodes for each
ring, but you can do it. Make a subVI that takes in a panel reference,
reads the array of control references, loops through them looking for
rings, and modifying the Strings[] property on each ring.
The part of this that will probably be the least obvious, when you
have an array of control references there are two ways to find out
if an element is a ring. You can read the classID and compare it
to the cla
ssID of a true ring control. An alternative is to cast
the control reference to a ring control using a Cast to more specific
node and wire the error out to a case structure. The error case is
where the objects that aren't rings will go. The success case case
where you will have a valid ring refnum that you can use to modify
the strings.

Wow finally! It's nice to see Apple finally provided something as simple as a time stamp.
Now if they would only put in an Auto Retry for text messaging I would be all set
Does anyone use the current Android OS? Does it have an auto retry function?

In version 3.x.x I used to be able to type search terms into the address bar and the page would load, similar to Google's "Feeling Lucky" button. Now it just brings up a Google search for the terms I typed in. How can I get this time saving feature back?

The change between Firefox 3.6.* and Firefox 4 is how location bar search works. In Firefox 3.6 it uses Google "Browse by name" search. With the browse by name search, it performs a Google search and if there is a clear match it will take you to the site, otherwise it shows the Google search result. With Firefox 4 it just performs a Google search if you type something which is not recognised as a URL.
To get the Firefox 3.6 behaviour on Firefox 4 you need to change a hidden preference.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''keyword.URL''', double-click on it and change its value to the link shown below

If you prefer, you can also do this by installing the Browse by Name extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/browse-by-name

that is odd! that should not be happening.
Are you syncing your songs right off of itunes itself? because it should be syncing over to the ipod however it is listed in itunes.
