Text Shifts when publishing

How do I keep the the text from shifitng? In iWeb the page looks fine but after publishing the text moves causing rows of text get out of alignment. I have to keep republlishing after inserting (or deleting) spaces to get back into the best alignment possible. Truly not wysiwyg in iweb to the published page.

I just revisited your 'Schedule' page. If you pick "View Source" in the Safari 'View' menu you can see the HTML that iWeb built. The 'May 27' entry has one more 'space' char at its front that the 'May 26' entry. I don't see how that ever looks right whether in iWeb or a browser.
As I said earlier, a variable width font (like Hoefler or Times) cannot be reliably aligned with 'space' chars.
Please try building two parallel text boxes and eliminate the white space before each line (in each box). If you need to indent, use the iWeb Inspector's Text 'text' or 'list' properties.
Otherwise pick a fixed width font like Courier. Only then will the space chars be the same width as the visible chars.

Text shift after publishing

I am having a problem with my text shifting and some colors changing after I publish my website. The problem seems to be on the navigation bar toward the top of the page. It changes color to a darker shade, the text is not centered, and when you navigate through the site, the entire bar shifts up and down between pages. Here is the site:
http://web.me.com/andrew.heinrich/Food_Congress/Home.html
Any suggestions as to why this might be occurring? I've tried to re-publish using the "publish all" option and I've also looked at it through various browsers and the problem seems consistent.
Thanks for your help.

Are you using the default iWeb nav-bar that is created in Javascript and there for defaults to web-safe colours? I would get rid of it and create my own (it is very easy). Not only will this help with your problem but it will also improve the ability for search engine spiders to crawl your site as the links will be in HTML not javascript.

Wrap-Text bug when publishing - When will it be fixed?

The bug that causes the text to not wrap in short answer and survey quiz questions when published to Adobe Connect has been around for at least 2 years. This is extremely inconvenient. I need to add a published Presenter quiz to our Adobe Connect Training Curriculum that includes a non-graded survey question, but we cannot because the wrap-text feature doesn't work. Since it doesn't work, the learner can only type in an endless straight line, which is extremely frustrating to the learner because they cannot easily go back and review their answer or make edits before hitting submit. They can't even put in a paragraph return. The wrap-text will only work if I share the quiz within a Meeting Room, but then we cannot track the individual answers learners provide. I added the Meeting Room, with the quiz being shared, into the Curriculum content, and sometimes the content list will then show the quiz as a sub-item under the Meeting Room, but sometimes it doesn't, and if you make any change to the item being shared, it sometimes suddenly removes the quiz as a sub-item in the content list. Plus, learners will be confused when they see the content list as to whether click to enter the meeting room and take the quiz or to click directly on the link to the quiz that is listed as a sub-item. And whichever one they choose, when they return to the curriculum list, they will only have a green complete check on one of the items, not both, even though they both go to the same place. When will this bug be fixed? Or has it been overlooked?

Well, I can't see any problem with the feed, and the episode media file is correctly referenced and plays. Incidentally you do have a 'copyright' tag - it says 'Wippenberg'.
When a podcast feed is rejected, corrected and resubmitted there is a minor bug in the Store which causes you to be told that the podcast has already been submitted (which is true but irrelevant - it's really meant to prevent duplicates). To get round this you need to make a small change to the title - for example you could add a hyphen and space before 'Podcast'. You can always change it back once it's been accepted.
The other issue might be the content. The reason given for rejection tends to be technical issues, whatever the actual reason is. I haven't listened to your podcast, so I can't comment directly. Possible reasons for rejection are unacceptable content, sexual content or strong language when the 'explicit' tag is not said to 'yes', and copyright infringement: a lot of people fall over this one by including 'mixes' or indeed full plays of commercially issued recordings without having written permission from the copyright owners or alternatively a valid Podcast Licence (not available in all countries, possibly only the USA). I have no idea whether this might be an issue with yours.

Dynamic text shifts when style changes

I have some dynamic text fields that are set up so that when
you rollover them (actually a button behind them), their formatting
changes. This is done with some basic actionscripting, setting up 2
different text format variables and attaching one or the other to
the text field when a button is rolled over. The only thing that
changes is color. When the text first appears all is well. But when
you rollover the text and the color changes, on certain browsers an
extra space can get inserted at the beginning of a new line, sort
of like the old bug where text wrapping messes up and moves a space
down to the beginning of a line. This happens on IE 6 and 7 and
Safari, not Firefox. The player is 9. THanks.

Did not, I was happier with the browser's display than with
the embedded font version. May try it just to see if problem
remains. Seems like something I should be able to avoid without
having to embed though.

Text Shifted When Website Published

I just published a site using iWeb for the first time, and I'm using a third-party host (50 Webs-free hosting). The site published successfully, and it's a very simple site, mostly just text. The text looks great in iWeb, it is all contained within the existing background color blocks. However, when I look at it on the web, all of the text is shifted to the left. It looks like the text box is bigger than it actually is.
I tried to access the original text box in iWeb, and I can't seem to do it. How do I get the text to appear the same on my computer screen as it does in iWeb?

What's the URL of your site and the text box of interest so we can examine it first hand? Also make sure you don't have the text box snug around the text. Enlarge the box a big larger than the text requires. Also don't have boxes overlapping other boxes or objects.

FCP TEXT Shifting when applied to Timeline

This is driving me crazy...I have two tracks of video. They are scaled down to 50% and side by side on the screen. I place text on the timeline above the video and when the text appears it Shifts and makes the video shift as well. I have 3 other sections in the program with the same sequence....and it is fine. What is going on ....anyone?

Try copying the text where it worked and then pasting it in the section where it won't. Also, make sure to clear all ins and outs on the timeline.

Presenter changes text properties when published - still having problems...

When I go to Publish my Powerpoint (2007, Windows XP Prof. 32-bit) slide show into Presenter (7.0.2), and run the Presenter edition, I'm finding my text formatting is changed. Font size, alignment, spacing, etc. isn't being carried through.
Any ideas?
(I updated to 7.0.2, but that did not solve the problem.)
Need help at helper's earliest convenience, thanks.
JT

Here is another example of an issue. Clip art images are missing entirely from animations. There should be a clip art image of a hand holding up two fingers (for step 2) to the right of image of a computer screen. This bug has been an issue for at least 2 months - making me nuts.
FYI: I'm on a mac running parallels (Windows XP) with Powerpoint 2007 running presenter 7.0.5

Document text shifts when converting from Word

I'm getting so frustrated. I am converting Word 2003 documents to Acrobat 8 pdf's. Without fail, the document size shifts upon conversion. So, if I have a table, the PDF is smaller than the Word version. I tried making Acrobat my default printer and then creating the document in Word and converting it to PDF, but that doesn't seem to help.
Any ideas on how I can stop this?

Try printing to the Adobe PDF printer if that is not the procedure you have been using. May not fix the problem, but worth the try. Check the printer properties, there are often options for shrink to fit and such. Also look at the print preview and be sure it is not a WORD option!

Static text in textfields renders differently when published in CS4/CS5

Hi
I am experiencing an issue where legacy files I created in Flash CS4 look different when published in CS5. Fonts are rendered differently. I have noticed it so far on DIN and Goudy Modern. The output when published in is CS5 is markedly different than the output when published in CS4.
Can anyone offer any pointers on how to think about, deal with, avoid etc.
Many thanks.
Mike
UPDATE
A little more logic to add.
It seems to be opening the file in CS5 changes the fonts somehow. CS4 files that I have not opened in CS5 publish as I would expect in CS4. CS4 files that I have opened in CS5 publish differently whether then published in CS5 or CS4. On Goudy for example. In CS5 adding .5 to the character spacing and 3.5 (not 2) to the line spacing makes the font render similarly in CS5 as it did in CS4 at 0 character spacing and 2 on the line height.

Yes. It's static. I recreated the text and now it works. Weird.
Thank you for your reply and time.

Text shifts down when overtyping

I'm in an office with 2 Macs with Indesign.
When typing over text (i.e. replacing a name on a business card) on one, the text is bumped down slightly. On the other terminal, this doesn't happen.
I assume that there will be a box to tick or untick, but so far I cannot work out where.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Regards
Ben

If the same file behaves differently on two different systems, I suspect a display anomalie. I saw something similar just yesterday with a business card I did in CS3. When defining and applying a style based on the formatting for the text, the text shifted very slightly on the screen, but there was no change in the specifications for the type.
It's possible, of course, that both you and I are seeing a case where the hidden paragraph break at the end of the paragraph has different specifications than the rest of the text (can happen when highlighting and applying local formatting), but that would affect the file in general and should be apparent wherever you do the editing.

Report works fine in VS2010 but simply doesn't show when published

Problem:
Crystal Report works fine in VS 2010 but doesn't show when published to web-server, there is no error, it simply doesn't show.
Background:
Installed VS2010 on a freshly installed and fully updated (.net 4.0 is included in the updates) windows server 2003 box with production release Crystal Report 2010. Nothing else is on the server. IIS 6 is running. My web-server and VS2010 is on the same box.
I went ahead and created a new asp.net 4.0 web project called webapplication1. Thereafter, i put a few controls (text-boxes, list-boxes and so on) on the default.aspx page. Then i created a report.aspx page. This page will have the crystal report viewer on it. I went ahead and set the report up without much hassle (got how-to's from the internet). I successfully tested my web app with the built-in testing server, the beautiful crystal report presented exactly what i asked it to. There was one recurring "Sys.Application is null or not an object" hiccup that occured every time during testing when i navigated from the default.aspx page to the report.aspx page (the page the report is on). Clicking ignore or continue on the dialogue box that comes up because of the hiccup will allow testing to continue. Here's a screen-shot of this recurring hiccup.
http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/Testing-Error.jpg
As i've shown, testing went great, except for the hiccup. I now moved to setup a publish profile. Since my web-server and VS2010 is on the same box this seemed relatively straight forward. All the files went over except the report, i.e. crystalreport1.rpt file. I solved this by setting the build action to 'Content' in the CrystalReport1.rpt properties. I did a republish. Now i have all my files, see screenshot: [http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/Application-Home-Directory.jpg], on the web-server.
I proceeded to try to browse to my app from another computer on my network. This was successful until i tried to navigate to the report.aspx page that the crystal report is on. The the report.aspx page loaded but the crystal report was simply not on it. No errors, not even the hiccup from testing occured. Its as if the crystal report viewer was never on the page to begin with. Only when i right clicked on the page and 'view source' did i see some remnants of the crystal report viewer.
Here is the Report.aspx page when tested in VS2010:
[http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/successful-Test.jpg|http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/successful-Test.jpg]
Here is the Report.aspx page when published to the web-server and browsed to from another computer on the network:
[http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/Reportviewer-Disappear.jpg|http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/Reportviewer-Disappear.jpg]
Details of adding report to my web app:
1) Populate my dataset then write the XML schema, reportschema.xml
2) Added the crystal Report to the project then used the wizard to navigate to the reportschema.xml. Of course i had to create new connection in Database expert. see screen-shot:
[http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/CR-Database-Expert.jpg|http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/CR-Database-Expert.jpg]
3) I formatted the report the way i wanted it
4) Added the Crystal report viewer on the Report.aspx page
5) In the code-behind of the Report.aspx page i bound the viewer to a report document that is loaded with CrystalReport1.rpt file
see screenshot: [http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/ricom_19/Report-Page-Code-behind.jpg]
That's it. As mentioned, it tested fine in VS2010 but the viewer doesn't show when i publish to the webserver. I wrote a crystal report in .net about 8 years ago. Things have changed soooo much since then.
I am wondering if its a license issue? Was also wondering if it had anything to do the testing hiccup, even though research is suggestion the two are unrelated.
I've described my actions as best as i could (without getting into ridiculous detail) and have included screen-shots of relevant stages of the process. Have a look and tell me your thoughts. Thanks.

The "Sys.Application is null or not an object" issue is known, submitted for a resolution and documented in KB #1528503. Unfortunately the KB search has been down the last couple of days...
However, the issue is limited to compile time and does not affect a completed application.
Re. the viewer missing. Sounds like the viewer directory did not get created or configure correctly. Before I get to that. You mention:
"I proceeded to try to browse to my app from another computer on my network."
This bring up the question: If you run the app right on the app server. e.g.; not a client computer, does the viewer and report come up? Is this issue isolated to client computers on the network?
I suspect that the issue exists irrespective of which computer you try to see the report from - but that is an assumption. If the assumption is correct, see [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/50aa68c0-82dd-2b10-42bf-e5502b45cd3a] article on configuring the viewer. The article does not have CR4VS2010 documented, but you should be able to guide your self using the article. I think the pattern will be obvious.

Is there a way to stop the text shifting between mac and pc?

I can't believe there is still no fix to the vertical text shift issue when transferring fla's between Mac and PC's. Create an fla on a Mac put some text in it, save the file and open it on a PC and see how the text has dropped.
Adobe please tell me I'm missing something here or at least acknowledge the problem and explain the cause.
This problem has plagued flash for as long as I can remember. None of the other applications (Photoshop, Illustrator etc) have this problem. It wastes huge amounts of time and causes massive quality control issues especially when outsourcing work.
We're using CS3 now and the problem is as bad as ever. It happens with all text fields and all font types.
Please help.

Don't get your hopes up that anyone from Adobe will see your posting. These are user to user forums and appearances by anyone from Adobe are rare.

Text shifting on imposed PDF; distill vs export

Hi experts. Please help me solve a mystery!
Mac OS 10.7, InDesign CS5 7.0.4
Here's the problem: I export a PDF (using modified version of the built-in X-1a PDF export preset to include bleed and crop marks)
Fonts are embedded, no problems when preflighting in Acrobat.
The printer imposes the file by placing my PDF into spreads in InDesign CS6 on Mac (OS unknown) and exports to PDF using unknown settings (The PDF producer is Adobe PDF Library 10.0.1).
The imposed PDF I get back from the printer has text shifting (the PDF i send to him looks fine--no gaps).
It looks like there are random blank spaces in the text and misaligned numbered lists. (left image, image on right shows original ID file)
Our production person insists that my exporting the PDF is to blame and says we must use distiller for sending files to the printer.
When I print to postscript then distill, the shifting does not occur in the imposed PDF i get back from the printer.
Everything I have read on here for years has said the postscript/distill route is bad/old/unnecessary/proof I should get a new printer.
Production claims fonts are not properly embedded when exporting PDF (patently false as the document info show that fonts are embedded).
Unless I can explain, and fix the shifting type problem, I will have to stick with postscript/distilling workflow.
(Although this is also not a guarantee--i have had the text shift/gap happen in PDFs that went through distiller. There the problem seemed to be a bullet glyph that was CID-H encoded.
When I switched the font from a TT to PS version of the font, it used different encoding and the shifting/gap was fixed in the PDF i got back from the printer.)
Please share your thoughts!
Thanks.

OK. I've gotten the original PDF files that were exported from CS5 and then placed into a new CS6 document and then exported from the OP. By the way, the problem is not limited to exported PDF, but also with PDF created by distillation of PostScript from CS5.
I cannot replicate the problem by simply creating a new InDesign CS6 document and placing pages into the new document and exporting.
However, I noted that some crop marks in the original CS5-exported PDF file were not in the CS6-exported file. That leads me to believe that something edited the CS6-exported PDF file. Furthermore, the CS6-exported PDF file was not only labelled as PDF/X-1a, but it also had the Trapped True key on. For exported PDF, InDesign provides no trapping function and absolutely no way of setting that trapping key in the PDF file. But Adobe Illustrator does provide the means of doing trapping and/or labeling a PDF/X file as being trapped with the Trapped True key.
At this point, I believe that some combination of the following events occurred:
*     The CS5 exported PDF file(s) were edited, possibly in Illustrator or with object editing in Acrobat Pro either with native tools or third party plug-ins and then resaved with the resultant PDF file(s) placed in the CS6 document. This editing may have messed up spacing of text that used ligatures, alternate characters, old style figures, etc. even though such text was not directly edited.
*     The CS6 exported imposed spreads were subsequently opened in Illustrator or some other third party trapping engine and resaved with the Trapped True key set. In the process of resaving the file, problems per (1) above occurred.
Conclusions:
(1)     Whether PDF/X-1a or PDF/X-4 was used for export anywhere in this process is irrelevant. The designs in question didn't use any transparency or color management. Furthermore, no CID-encoded fonts were involved and no font name conflicts were involved. However, the fonts used in the original InDesign documents were OpenType CFF fonts with extended character sets which were in fact accessed for ligatures, superscripts, subscripts, etc.
(2)     Previously non-disclosed steps were used in the workflow between the CS5 export and the resultant files I got to see. Using Illustrator as a PDF editor or as trapping software for PDF files in general is a possible / likely cause of the problems. If not Illustrator, then some very defective PDF workflow software for trapping and/or editing was used.
(3)     Although InDesign is not designed as an imposition tool, the fact is that it is used for amalgamation of content such as magazines, journals, etc. where ads and other content as PDF (and other formats) is placed within InDesign pages. This appears to be working correctly and is not the source of the problem.
The OP is dealing with problematic workflow, but not with InDesign problems.

Background audio not adjusting after project is paused when published to Flash. Any suggestions?

Hello,
I'm working with:
Captivate 6
Mac OS X 10.8.2
Flash Player is updated to most recent version
My project contains background audio music set to adjust to slide audio. When I publish to Flash the background audio adjusts appropriately until I pause the video and then resume. Once the video resumes the background audio no longer adjusts to slide audio. So basically anytime a learner pauses the video and then resumes the background audio drowns the slide audio out. I've tried this with multiple projects and get the same result.
When I publish in HTML5 it works fine. But I cannot use HTML5 because my project contains necessary rollover objects and captions, slide transitions, text animations, and other effects that HTML5 does not support.
I've to remove and re-add the background audio, uninstall and reinstall Captivate, adjust the background and slide volume levels, uncheck loop audio, and pretty much any audio settings and publish settings I can think of.
Can someone else with the same OS and Captivate version try and see if they encounter the same problem when publishing to Flash?
Or does anyone have a solution/workaround?
Thank You!

Hi folks
Sorry, I don't have a fix to offer. Only an observation. I'm rather surprised to see this many folks actually USING background audio. I say that, because I have facilitated hundreds of Captivate classes over the years. And there are lots of folks with Instructional Design background that attend. And in so many of the classes, when we reach the audio section and we cover how to use Background Audio, the same comment is made.
The comment is that generally speaking, it is their opinion that from an Instructional Design standpoint, background music is a "no no" and should be avoided because it detracts from the learning objective.
Perhaps the link below will help.

Flash not displaying when published

When publishing my flash site, the only thing that displays on screen is the link for a flash update. I am not sure why this is. I have everything up to date on my computer. I believe it has to do with the code in the html that was generated by flash. Please take a look and let me know. Thanks

Something adobe should look at.
