Text taking a gradient when placed in perspective

Can anyone tell me, looking at the AI file available here (in the Public folder of my Dropbox), why the text takes a gradient when I place it on a perspective grid? I'm not able to see anything in the Appearance panel that gives me a hint. It may be obvious to someone without even needing to open the file . . . see pictures attached.
Many thanks, as always.
Rob

Hi, Kurt.
Eventually I got it. When I was only clicking on the object with the Perspective Selection Tool, the Appearance palette gave me no information. Because the object was selected, I couldn't understand why I wasn't seeing any attributes.
Double-clicking, putting the text object into isolation mode, finally enabled me to change the fill.
Very thankful to you and others on this forum for being as prompt and helpful as you've been.

Adobe acrobat text feild value changing when placing a cursor

Hi,
I am using adobe acrobat 9 for printing some letters.
I have a pdf document in that there are bundle of letters. In all letter there are some common text fields are existing.
Here issue is, the content of first letter values are appearing in all remaining letters common fields when i am placing cursor over the field.
While i am printing also the first letter are appearing in all letters.
But when i use adobe 5 the issue is not occurring.
Please help me, to get rid of this issue.
Thanks in advance.

I have pdf document, which consists of multiple letters. All letters have common content but the date field, name of client, address and control number are differ for individual letter.
Issue is, while i am looking at the letter everything is fine, i mean data is distinct for each letter. The i printed the pdf doc but all letters have same date field, name of client, address and control number which are as of first letter.
And when i click on text field the content of field is changing and showing same as first letter. When i remove cursor its again distinct.
For example in first letter date field is 15th feb 2015. In second letter its showing 16th feb 2015. But when i place cursor over the field its changing to 15th feb 2015. while i remove the cursor its showing 16th feb 2015. i printed the letter and its showing 15th feb 2015 in both letters.
Here the issue is not with the batch program which is placing the data to the doc. As this issue is coming while using Adobe Acrobat 5 to generate the pdf doc.
I am suspecting some properties change is causing this issue. i try to change one property of text field like back ground color, then the text field value is not changing and if i print also the value is not changing.
I cant share the pdf document as it has some confidential information.
please suggest me to resolve this issue.

Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

Apple is great!
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC. I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off. Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage. I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging. Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on. What happened to regular MMS text messaging? I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program. I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?
The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.
Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

Oversized text and lack of pages when placing a word document (.docx)

I'm reposting this, since the last one seemed to get lost in the jumble:
When placing text from a word document (.docx) indesign only gives me three pages for a 118 long document. Also, those pages are blank, and to access the text, I have to delete a few blank lines. When I do this however, the text is grossly oversized. Changing the font does not help, as even on 6 pt, the text is much larger than it should be. Help? I've tweaked import options (although I may not know enough to diagnose the issue I am having), changed the format of the file (.doc, rtf) nothing seems to work.
I am working in Indesign CS5.5 and here is a link to the document I am working with:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzA9ILF0ZW-aVmlCV0hvekhHYTQ/edit?usp=sharing
Any help you could provide would be awesome.
Thanks,
-Julian Q.

The problem is the page size. It's tiny lee than an inch wide and a bit over an inch tall. I'm not sure what you set up, but what you have now seems to have been made much smaller with the Page tool, perhaps.
Set your ruler units in your prefs with nothing open to a system you are comfortable working in (the doc is set up in Picas, now. Do you know how to work in Picas?), then create a new file the size you really want.

Sharp Photo When Placed in Indesign, Text becomes Blurry...

I have a Photo (with Sharp Text) that when Placed in InDesign, the Text Becomes Blurry (as in Unreadable)...
What's Up with that? And, more Importantly, what can I do to Correct? Thanks (can attach if needed)

Is this on screen or in print? Check Display Performance. Right-click on the image to change the display performance of only that image, or use the View menu to change the Display Performance of the document. Higher display quality generally slows the program down, although it can be slight. If the text is a text layer in Photoshop consider saving as Photoshop PDF. This will keep the file fully editable in Photoshop but the text will be vector paths in the PDF, rather then rendered raster art at the image's resolution.

How do you create the 'cream pop-up info text boxes' that appear when you hover mouse over?

Hi people,
I really need to know how you create the 'cream pop-up info text boxes' that appear when you hover your mouse over an object on a webpage (and often in any program e.g. Photoshop) for more than a second. I need to know because the logo on my website is the navigation tool used to return to the homepage. It is always found in the top left so the user can always click it to return.
The only problem is im the only one who knows that when you click my logo, you return to the homepage. I need one of these 'cream info boxes' (forgive my lack of knowledge) to appear so the user will figure it out.
Thanks for taking the time to read my question...

Using your code it should look like this where title attribute is in red:
<div id="apDiv2"><a href="index.html"><img src="divs_dw/jtgd_logo_trans.png" alt="jtgd_logo" title="your description goes here" width="176" height="163" /></a></div>

Indesign crashes when placing PDFs

All,
When placing PDFs in and Indesign file, it occasionally crashes. Usually when doing multiple pages, one at a time, some work and some crash.... although the ones that crash always crash and I cannot get them placed.
The goal is to put the PDFs in the file and add text and/or images over the PDF.
Solutions?
Power Book Pro OS 10.8.5
Indesign CS 6

Eugene,
Produced with IText 2.0.2 (by Iowagie.com), PDF version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x)
However, some of the pages place just fine, and some crash every time. Suspect there's corruption on the crashing pages.
Is there a way I could save the file in a different format or program and open that into Indesign?

Why does scale change when placing snapshot from pdf document?

IDCS3: I cut a furniture detail from a pdf document with the "snapshot" tool. I place this image, which includes text, into an InD document. The scale is huge! I do not know how much to reduce to get it to the exact same scale as it was in the pdf. In addition, the quality diminishes when placed in InD. The document size of the pdf document is A4 - that of the InD document is A3. Thanks!

Why not place the original pdf (vector & raster, I assume) and crop to the area you'd like - retaining the vector & raster, rather than use a screen shot (raster).

Hierarchical menu access when placing an image

How can I get Illustrator to go back to accessing an image folder that is in one of my client project folders when placing an image instead of taking me back to the main level of my hard drive every time. It used to do this but quit doing so.
For example, my hard drive is set up as Hard drive/Clients/Client Name/12_100 Project _A/x_Linked Images. When working in illustrator, I have set up a keyboard shortcut of Command/e to place an image. The first time I place an image I have to navigate to the project x_linked images folder for the first time. Everytime I need to place a new image, Illustrator used to take me right back to that same x_Lnked Images folder. Now it takes me back to the main level of my hard drive and I hve to click through all of the folders again to get there. Does that make sense? It's slowing me down when I'm working.
Thanks, Bruce

I'd get Default Folder X from insidersoftware.com if you want to solve this issue. It's mostly a Mac OS issue and pops up depending on what bugs Apple introduces into whatever version they release. Some OS versions go back to the proper folder, other's don't. With Default Folder.. they always do (among other things)

Filling Text art with gradient or pattern

Hello all,
I'm trying to fill some existing arts (path, text, compound) with a just created gradient or a pattern loaded in the swatch
To achieve that I'm trying to change the path style:
GetPathStyle (myArt, &pathArtStyle);
     pathArtStyle.strokePaint = false;
     pathArtStyle.fillPaint = true;
     pathArtStyle.fill.color.kind = kGradient;
     pathArtStyle.fill.color.c.b.gradient = myGradient;
SetPathStyle (myArt, &pathArtStyle);
This works for kPathArt,
but nothing happens for kTextFrameArt or kCompoundPathArt.
How can I program this ?
thanks in advance
PS: I also tried to program the procedure "How to Fill Text with a Pattern or Gradient in Adobe Illustrator" described for illustrator UI, w/o success
PS: I have similar problem when trying to create a clipping using SetGroupClipped() (see AI function reference) while the clipping path is a text or compound. No clipping is done.

To fill text with a gradient or pattern youi can do two things, either
1) outline your text (Type > Create Outlines) then click on the pattern or gradient swatch you require. For easier control of gradients it is best to make a compound path of all the letters. This method is not editable because the type is no longer live.
2) If your type needs to be live do the following: Type your text and colour it None (no fill, no stroke). Then Appearance panel flyout menu; Add New Fill and click on your swatch.

[CS5.5][Os X 10.7] Problem searching for file when placing a picture

Hi,
With this post, I would like to ask a question.
In Indesign CS5.5 on Mac Os X, when placing a picture using the place option, there is in the top right corner a search field. When browsing to a certain network folder and trying to search for files whitin that folder, which have filenames containing a part of the search string, no files are found.
For example: a folder containing 200 files with names starting with "sports baseball 001" up to "sports baseball 200". When searching for "baseball" no results are found.
What I could find on the internet, are several discussions relating to huge problems with Spotlight on 10.7 and 10.8 and network drives.
Does anyone know of any fix or plugin for Adobe Indesign that allows fast file search in a folder when placing a picture in a document?
Whe have this issue with all our mac's running these versions of Os X and Adobe Indesign.
Any feedback would be helpfull.
John

Good to hear that Adobe engineering is taking a look. However you might want to file a formal bug/feature report here: Wishform, to get it on record as a customer/user problem, and to perhaps attract additional requests from others who have the same problem.
I'm not sure if the commercial Mac application Default Folder X would fix the problem. You might want to test their trial.

When placing a PDF created with Distiller, I only get Crop and Media as import options -- I need it to crop to the Trim! PLEASE HELP!

I'm having a MAJOR problem placing PDF files in InDesign CS4...
When I try to place a PDF that has been created in Distiller, the ONLY import options I can choose are CROP and MEDIA. I need it to crop to the TRIM, but that option is grayed out. The PDFs I'm trying to place were created in-house, and converted from Post Script files to PDFs using Distiller. We use PDF/X-1a equivalent settings when creating our PDFs.
If I export the file as a PDF and then try to place it into a CS4 file, I am able to select Trim as an option.
ALSO, if I open the Distiller PDF in Acrobat and then save it (without changing anything), I am able to select Trim as an option. A workaround I have found is to open all of the PDF files in Acrobat, save them to my desktop, and then save over the ones I need to place. Here's the problem with that: I work for a publishing company, and need to place hundreds of ads for each issue of our publications, and it adds a lot of time if I have to go and re-save everything just to be able to place all the ads.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I need to get this figured out so we can use CS4 for all of our publications again. -- We've gone back to using CS3 until I can get this figured out...
- Valerie

Steve,
Thanks for the reply, but my PDFs all have trim boxes on them. If I try to place the same PDF in InDesign CS3, it gives me Trim as an option. Also, if I open the PDF and save a copy to my desktop, I am able to select Trim as an option when placing the PDF, and I didn't change anything about it.
I've been trying to see if it's something with the Print Preset settings I'm using, but I can't find anything that seems like it would affect how InDesign would read the Trim area of the PDF.
I've attached 2 PDF files. One that was created with Distiller, and one that was exported from InDesign CS4. The Distiller one doesn't show Trim as an option in CS4, but the exported one does.... but they started out as the same ad. Ugh! Help me please!

How can I create a text pop up window in my Pages document? I want text to pop up when the reader hovers his/her cursor over a certain word.

How can I create a text pop up window in my Pages document? I want text to pop up when the reader hovers his/her cursor over a certain word in the document. I am teacher. So for example when a student came to word he/she did not know, if he/she hovered the cursor over the word, a defintion or other information would appear. You can do this in Word using bookmarks/hyperlinks but I can't figure this out in Pages. I can link it to another point in my Pages document but I just need the text to pop up - not take the reader to another location. THANK YOU!!!!!!

Have you tried Word for Mac?
You will need to test if links survive export or printing to .pdf

Try this...
have a text convo with the person you want to delete. Go to the top contact in the text convo, hit edit contact, and delete that contact.
That resolution came from another thread on this issue, and this did solve to poster's issue.
