Text to Graphic

Does iWeb 2.0 also have this weird bug where iWeb randomly transforms text into graphics and then posts it?
It is very annoying and I would happily pay for the upgrade to get rid of the bug (since Apple apparently never bothered to fix it for free).

Besides drop shadows, if any object touched or overlaps a text box it will be converted. Don't use smart quotes or non web fonts (although I've seen some non-web fonts work OK). Here's are some other tips I've gathered from this forum on how to avoid converting text or images to png files.
1 - do not use and frames or borders, etc. around photos.
2 - don't use any reflections.
3 - use only the web safe fonts from the Font pane.
4 - do not use drop shadow on fonts.
5 - turn off smart quotes
6- if you add a jpg to a page don't resize it in iWeb as that will cause it to be converted to png. Resize it to what you need before adding to the page..
The above will reduce the number and size of files associated with a web page quite a bit. Photos with fancy frames and reflections can generate a thumbnail png of around 110KB whereas the plain version will be a jpg of only 28KB. Although it doesn't sound like a lot, it will speed up loading of the page and be more darkside (i.e. PC) friendly. But you'll lose some of iWeb's features in producing a fancy site.
Run a test with a test site and publish to a folder. Then follow the hints above and publish to another folder and compare folders.

  • Is it possible to do a GLOBAL color change for both text and graphics in ACrobat XI?

    I used to do this using the Pitstop Pro plugin but now Pitstop is almost $900 and this is the only thing that I would use it for, not worth the investment
    I can change text color by selecting individual text items, but I want to change all of the red text into white text
    I also need to change all of the red graphics into white graphics and I can't figure out how to do that either
    I have a trial version of XI on a Mac and will buy it if it can do what I am trying to do, i.e. global color changes to both text and graphics
    thanks!!

    I have version 6, but it is way out of date, doesn't work on my current system, I downloaded a trial version of the new one, version 12 I think, now I have to decide if I can afford to buy it, it is not cheap!
    oops, sorry, I didn't read your entire message, aargh!
    I'll check with them if I can upgrade from this early version, thanks for the suggestion!

  • Automatically adding alt text to graphics

    Here is a pie-in-the-sky project that is way beyond my abilities. Anyone up for that challenge will have my (and probably other's) endless gratitude.
    I would like a script that creates an "alt text" for graphics based on the text of its caption in the document.
    The structure would be something along the lines of:
    1. Enumerating each anchored frame that contains a graphic
         a. Testing to see if a specific paragraph style follows the anchored frame
         b. If exists, selecting the text of that specific paragraph style
         c. Setting the "Alternate" object property of the anchored frame
    So after most graphics we have a caption using a "Figure Title" paragraph style. The script should create the text like: "This image is a screen shot of " + figTitle. Then populate the Alternate field of the Object Attributes dialog box of the Object Properties of the anchored frame.

    Milo--
    While I'm not volunteering to write the script, I would encourage you to tackle it yourself. It is hardly a pie-in-the-sky project, and if you have any desire to expand your abilities, this would be a worthwhile exercise.
    You've already taken the first step by outlining the basic structure.

  • Pixelated text and graphics in MacBook Pro Retina

    Why are text and graphics in pixelated in Numbers and iBooks applications, to name two, on the MacBook Pro Retina? All updates have been downloaded.

    Clinton- The problem is that the way things are setup is a bit confusing. Apple doesn't let us use the actual full resolution of 2880 x 1800, in relateive size. There is a hack to see the screen at full native resolution, and it's unbelievably small. So what they do is use the pixels, but use 4 vs 1, and thus they make the UI look like it would look as standard 1440 x 900 display. I have an old 15" and looking at both, the UI is the same relative size on the screen. However the retina is using more pixels to make the same physical size.
    Now, Apple also lets apps use 1:1 within their "working area." For instance, if you view a graphic on a web page, it shows it doubled, and pixelated. But if you drag that image to the desktop then open in Preview, preview will show it half size of Safari, but in actual resolution. it's sharp, but half the size of Safari, as Safari is doubling it. So apps can take advantage of that but will have to be updated. Pixelmator isn't updated, and graphics/text/vectors are blurry in their work area, but once you save/export, and view in preview, they are perfect.
    So there is going to be a lot of strange stuff going on until everyone gets on the same page.
    I did find you can view Pages/Numbers with better resolution (just not icons) by right-clicking "get info" and unchecking open in low resolution. But Pages acts weird. I will post a screenshot in a minute about what I mentioend about apps using the native resolution within work spaces.

  • Why won't text and graphics line up in adobe premiere?

    Hey, I have been out of the editing thing for about 8 years now. I recently needed to make a video for another business I run.
    Anway, I am using animated / still graphics and the basic text titles that come with premiere. I see that the graphics line up correctly behind the text in the Previews Folder. When I render it, the text has shifted down completely. Also, the text and graphics look horrible after it's rendered, very pixelated. I used to be a pro at this stuff and in fact, I would use flash to import my animated graphics. But it seems that doesn't work anymore either. (That would probably solve this problem too). Anyone know why this is taking place in the final render??
    I would much rather you ask the questions before i post all sorts of unnecessary info.
    Premiere Pro 1.5.1
    Thanks!

    1. not sure what you mean by "preset". The project settings are:
    General -
    Capture - DV 1394 -
    Video Sequence -
    Default Sequence -
    2. The dimensions of the stills are 2000x2000, *.png
    3.Titles - I do not align them here, I align them in the effects controls
    4. Screen Cap
    5. Export settings
    6. That article is nice, but not what I'm needing. remember, the preview clips shows everything perfectly lined up. but the final export shows all the text being shifted down.
    Thanks for the reply, I look forward to a response and I hope these answer your questions.

  • HTML Code query - does iweb turn my text to graphics?

    Hello
    I'm a bit of a novice but thanks to iWeb I've been able to build myself quite a competent commercial website. As the company is growing I'm suffering from the problem of not being able to edit the code until the site is published - as I have a shopping cart on the site there is a lot of code to input every time I want to make a small change. Also, because I am trying to optimise my profile in the search engines I have to add a lot of title and description words at the front end of every page after it's published. Because of this I decided to import the site into Dreamweaver and see if I could edit the code there. As a result I noticed that the imported iWeb pages showed my text boxes as a graphic and I couldn't click on the text and edit. This got me worrying that search engines too were seeing all my carefully worded text as graphics instead of words which in my understanding would hinder the site slightly when it comes to SEO. I found Dreamweaver slightly exceeded my capabilities - for now - so I am left inputting HTML as before but I am very worried about this graphics issue - does anyone know if this is the case?
    Thank you in advance
    The website is http://www.thelittlethings.info
    Message was edited by: LoveTheLittleThings

    Thank you - I'm not an expert either and thank you for your suggestion. I have looked at the source as you say but the code at the front of the main text panels says . . .
    <img usemap="#map3" id="shapeimage_11" src="Boys%203-5%20years%20files/shapeimage11.png"
    and .png is a graphic isn't it?
    Very confused and my knowledge of Dreamweaver is so limited that I wouldn't know why it would translate the text into a graphic panel if it isn't.
    Please help - I don't want to work on my seo so hard if it's a fruitless task

  • Copy and paste text and graphics between Flash and Illustrator

    When copying text in Illustrator and pasting them to Flash, some text would become drawing objects and some remain text. A drawing object is not editable. If I import the AI file, then text remains text but the placement of graphics can be a little bit off sometimes.
    It's just not possible to copy-and-paste text and graphics from Flash to Illustrator.
    Is it just me? If not, when will Adobe have better integration between the 2?
    Thanks,

    Even though you can change your InDesign preferences for Clipboard Handling to allow formatted information to be pasted into InDesign from other programs, unfortunately Illustrator still won't allow you paste in text with formatting. This is due to how Illustrator and InDesign handle text differently. Even if you copy the text from Illustrator and paste it into a program like Word, which has a lot of different ways to handle formatted text, Illustrator just treats text differently than other Adobe applications.

  • Why are the text and graphic elements are not showing on the iPad

    I have a slideshow of pictures full bleed on my inDesign document with text and graphics on top of the pictures (not part of the slideshow).
    When I preview on the iPad all I can see is the gallery of images?
    Is it not possible to put text on top of a slideshow?
    Here it is as it appears on InDesign...
    ...and here as it appears on the iPad...
    Any ideas? I'm pretty new at this, but I couldnt find anything in the forums

    They're called overlays for a reason. You'll need to change the text to an MSO as well.
    Select it, create a new MSO, set it to play once no delay, no crossfade.
    Other choice would be to put the text into each state of the MSO.

  • Mac osx lion screen texts and graphics jitter/flicker during scrolling

    Hello,
    I have recently upgrade my macbook (late 2008, the only aluminum Macbook model) to OSX Lion, and the screen scrolling is causing fatigue to my eyes as the texts and graphics jitter/flicker even at the slowest scrolling speed setting. This problem causes serious discomfort to reading long text on the screen that requires scrolling.
    Have anyone experienced this problem? Is there away to make the text scroll smoothly without jitters?
    Thanks

    HI PAT:
    HAPPENING to anyone that has the old Acrylic Cinema displays that use the ACD-DVI adapter.
    unplugging the adapter and replugging solves the issue bu it only last for one session if you reboot the flickering comes back so you have to unplug and replug again. is a Pain in the B.
    lot of people complaining about it. https://discussions.apple.com/message/16357859#16357859http://

  • HP Photo Creations - where's the text and graphics tabs?

    I downloaded V 3.5  HOwever I can't seem to find the tabs for text, graphics, etc. All I can find is touchup, crop, red eye, and one or two others. But where is the text and graphics, and the other cool ones.?  I'm sure I downloaded 3.5.
    melodee007

    Hi Melodee.
    The additional editing tools appear with collage projects. When you choose basic prints, you'll see only the touchup tools (crop, image adjustments, red-eye, airbrush, tint).
    In other words, to add text, borders, and graphics, choose Collage Prints instead of Prints. This link will take you there:
    Collage Prints
    There are quite a few cool effects in the touchup section, though.
    Under Image Adjustments, click Advanced Controls at the bottom of the screen to try the Posterize effect.
    Under Airbrush Effects, try the Rub Through, Blur, and Monochrome brushes. 
    Rub Through loads a photo in the background that's slowly revealed as you paint over the original photo. Blur is good for toning down distracting elements in your picture, making a snapshot look like a photo taken with a fancy lens. The photo below uses both those plus the Monochrome Brush.
    Hope this helps,

  • How to get my text and graphics to scale with the browser dynamically?

    Hi there!
    I've run into an issue where, with my design - I'm trying to get text and graphics to scale and move with the browser as someone adjusts it. (As opposed to it moving and falling apart as the browser window gets too small.)
    http://www.richardsuchit.com is where it's posted at the moment.
    I'd it to maintain it's position in the center of the browser window no matter how small or large, just to adjust in size, rather in position. I wonder if this is possible?
    Looking forward to your answers! Thanks.

  • Safari prints text as graphics (?)

    I've noticed that Safari always prints text as graphics - it's most obvious when I print to PDF using CutePDF, but even on physical printout, the text is fuzzy and it's obvious that Safari is sending it the printer as a bitmap instead of text.
    I'd have to say this is a bug not a feature for most users. Any way to change this behaviour ?

    There are only a handful of "Web safe" fonts and others may be converted to images in a "text box".
    Check your Safari Appearance preferences to make sure you're using the correct fonts.

  • Incoming mail won't wont display rich text or graphics

    . Before updating my Intel iMac to Leopard, none of my incoming mail displayed the text or graphic that it was used to compose the mail i.e everything is in plain text . I took the computer to local Apple store and paid for 2 hours of the tech's time and he could not find the source of the problem. After upgrading to Leopard, it did improve a bit with some mail displaying the graphics and rich text but now it is happening again.
    I have been into Mail preferences and ticked the box "display remote images in HTML messages " . There is nothing in troubleshooting to help and it is getting annoying. I also have a 13" Macbook but it does not have the same problem as the rich text and graphics come through as sent. Hope someone can help.

  • HT201109 Final Cut Pro 10.1 crashes with Motion 5.1 custom Scrolling text and Graphics titles

    Dec 29, 2013 1:33 PM 
    found out why Final Cut 10.1 won't load my custom titles without crashing. When scrolling text in Motion 5.1 if you ad a graphic to scroll with the text Final Cut 10.1 will crash. If I remove the graphic in Motion and then load it into Final Cut 10.1 it will work.
    So Graphics and scrolling do not work. The graphics are .jpg, .png, .tiff, .psd. I don't know how to fix it. Hopefully someone out there does.

    Thanks Tom for the advice. I have four external hard disks, all of them formatted with Mac OS Extended Journaled. On all devices (2TB) I have more than half free space. They are connected either with Thunderbolt or USB3 cables. Different manufactures:  LaCie, Toshiba, WD and Samsung. I face the same crash problem if I connect a UBS drive 16GB or a any other device to the USB ports including the Sony Video camera connected with a USB1 cable. Same problem on ALL my computers! To work properly, I have to disconnect all USB devices and work only with internal hard disks. I also tried to format the MacbookPro (erasing the partitions with a new installation) but I have the same problem. I really lost hope...
