Type on a path - text disappears

Hope someone can help; I've typed text on a path round a circle filled with a photo - no problem - but the moment I come away from the text by clicking on the pointer for eg, the text vanishes. If I click back into the text, the type tool sits there and if you type any character the whole thing comes back up (with the extra character) so I delete that extra character fine - can see the type on the page. Go to Save for eg and the text vanishes again - hope someone can help. CS2 by the way. Have done this in the past without a problem so do not understand what I am doing wrong this time.

Have tried the views and it's not that and scrolling didn't work either - I
believe it is something to do with the overset and I'm completely muddled -
I can't see why it should need to carry the text over - it finishes where I
am with the hash character. This is something I only do once in a blue moon
so am floundering somewhat - if you can explain easily what to do about the
overset I would be very grateful.
Kind regards, Christina

Acrobat 5.0.5 text disappears in Free Text Tool

Ok it's an oldie, but it's a goodie. I love my Acrobat 5.0.5, and never had any reason to upgrade. Well once. From 5.0 to 5.0.5. I have used my license on three different machine builds. 95, 2K and now XP Pro 64 bit and it still works great. (Yes, this program has outlived 2 older computers!) Well. Until yesterday. Suddenly when I create a free text box, and type in there, the text disappears. This happened once before a few years back, and I have forgotten what the fix was, but I do believe that was why I upgraded from 5.0 to 5.0.5. Now it is happening again.
Now for the real kick in the pants. I tried to reinstall my product, thinking to correct the problem, and all of a sudden Adobe doesn't like my several years old serial number. I get the error message that it isn't valid. And it IS a valid license, just a really OLD one. I only used it for the latest install of this, my same program, about a year ago, maybe a little more than a year.
I tried to just run the 5.0.5 update program again and it says the program isn't even installed to update. What the heck? OF COURSE IT IS.
I'm very frustrated and disappointed, as this is an old favorite of mine and I hate to think that Adobe has rused it so that it just won't work anymore to force me to purchase a newer version, when I didn't need a newer version.
If someone familiar with this old version of Acrobat could help me resolve this issue, I would very much appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

The 64 bit OS can run most 32 bit applications just fine if you set it up right, and as I stated, this issue is not a compatibility issue, but a recurring issue within the application itself that also plagued me once upon a time when I ran it under Win 2k. Apparently an Adobe bug, and I suspect it is more related to the forced download of an updated version of the basic acrobat reader (due to Adobe inflicted browser issues) than it is with a Windows update. In my case, I set all of my old 32 bit applications up on a separate drive. I never default install programs on the main OS drive if it can be helped. Some of them I have to click the actual application *.exe or shortcut, because "open with" absolutely will not work, even if it is set as the default application for certain extensions. You will get an error message about it not being a valid Win32 application. From the program itself, however, once it is launched, it is never a problem to browse to and open the correct data file.
I even went so far as to install the Adobe basic reader when I was forced to do so, on a completely separate drive from my Acrobat 5 because I am well aware that previously caused problems as well, and never EVER let the application make its automatic updates from Adobe.... EITHER of them, actually. I suspect it was one of those snuck through and not a Windows update that caused it, although the possibility exists, I suspect Adobe does whatever it can to sell more software.

Type on a path ignores text wrap around objects?

Indesign CS3: type on a path ignores text wrap around objects?
is this true? or do I have a setting that I'm missing?
thanks.

Seems that it does, and in CS4 as well.
What are you doing with type on a path that requires it to honor wrap? Could you do it by cutting the path and threading?

PDF attachment, text disappearing once opened.

Hi Experts, I have been working on a smartform conversion to PDF email. I have inserted a gui download after the conversion process to check the pdf conversion. When opening the pdf that was downloaded, the pdf is perfect. However, once the pdf is emailed out of SAP to the microsoft exchange server and I open it in Outlook, only one block of text is present and if I scroll the page the text disappears. Has anyone encountered this problem and/or can someone help me fix it?
Thanks,
Chris

Here is my code as of right now. The PDF email is saying the pdf is damaged or could not be repaired, when I try to open it.

Please explain along with examples youwhen we use Replacement Path
                                               Text Variables and
                                               Customer Exit
Please search the forum before posting a thread
Edited by: Pravender on Apr 18, 2011 3:48 PM

Hi,
1. Customer EXIT :
Business Scenario:
The business department wants to check if the orders from the customers for a certain week (e.g. 6 weeks from now) are already transmitted into their system. Therefore they run a report with a variable, that is calculated automatically.
Note: Of course this is not the only suitable solution, but it will show you how the exit works.
Step by Step Solution:
A.You should create a variable on the info object 0CALWEEK like this:
1.Technical Name: WS_FWEEK
2.Description: Workshop Future Week
3 Interval
5.Mandatory variable entry
6.Processing: Customer Exit
7.NOT ready for input
B.Call transaction CMOD for the definition of the customer exit.
C.Create a new project, maintain the short text and assign a development class.
D.Go to Enhancement Assignments and assign RSR00001. Press the button components to continue.
E.Double-click on EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001.
F.For documentation place the cursor an RSR00001 and use the menu GoTo => Display documentation.
G.Then double-click on ZXRSRU01.
H. If the include does not exist, you have to create it; assign a development class and a transport request
Enter this code:
INCLUDE ZXRSRU01                                        *
data: l_idx like sy-tabix,
        workdate(8) type d,
        futureweek(6) type c.
DATA: L_S_RANGE TYPE RSR_S_RAGESID.
case I_vnam.
when u2018WS_FWEEKu2019.
if i_step = 2          u201C after pop-up
Calculate Current day plus 6 weeks:
workdate = sy-datum + 42 .
Calculate the week of this day
CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_GET_WEEK'
    EXPORTING
      DATE               = workdate
    IMPORTING
     WEEK               = futureweek
EXCEPTIONS
DATE_INVALID       = 1
OTHERS             = 2
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
        WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
l_s_range-low = futureweek.
l_s_range-high =
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-option = 'EQ'.
append l_s_range to l_t_range.
p_subrc = 0.
ENDIF.
ENDCASE.
I.Save and activate the codie
J.Activate the project. (Very important!)
K. Define a query using the above created variable.
L.For displaying the variable values in the executed query you also may define two text variables. These should, if necessary, be able to show the lower and the upper value calculated by the customer exit.
2 Replacement Path :
Example for filling variable values depending on an other variable /
Deriving one variable value from another variable
Business scenario.
A query should show in one column the value for one period. The period should be entered by the user. In the second column the accumulated vale from the beginning of the year to the period of the first column should be displayed. The InfoCube contains only the InfoObject 0CALMONTH (Month/Year) and not single InfoObjects for period and year.
Solution:
For this scenario we need four variables: two variables for the column text and two variables for the period values. One of these period variables is defined as a variable with a customer exit
Step by Step Solution:
Create an input variable u201CMONTHu201D (you need this specific information for the coding example below). The variable is based on the InfoObject 0CALMONTH. Set the following attributes:
Single Value
Ready for input
Mandatory variable entry
Create a variable u201CCUMMONTHu201D (you need this specific information for the coding example below) with a customer exit as a processing type. The variable is based on the InfoObject 0CALMONTH. Set the following attributes:
Interval
NOT ready for input!
Mandatory variable entry
Create two text variables. Both variables use the u201CReplacement Pathu201D as processing type. The first text variable is filled with the text from the u201Cfrom valueu201D. The second is filled with the text from the u201Cto valueu201D.
Enter this code
INCLUDE ZXRSRU01                                        *
DATA: L_S_RANGE TYPE RSR_S_RAGESID.
DATA: LOC_VAR_RANGE LIKE RRRANGEEXIT.
case I_vnam.
when u2018CUMMONTHu2019.
if i_step = 2          u201C after pop-up
LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE
          WHERE VNAM = u2018MONTHu2019.
     CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
l_t_range-low = loc_var_range(4). u201Cgetting current year
l_t_range-low+4(2) = u201801u2019 u201Csetting 1st period in cur. year
l_t_range-high = loc_var_range-low u201Chigh value=input value
l_t_range-sign = 'I'.
l_t_range-option = 'BT'.
append l_s_range to e_t_range.
exit.
endloop.
endif.
endcase.
Save and activate the code.
Activate the project.
Define a query containing all the variables.

Text disappearing behind a graphic

Another problem with a PDF from QuarkXPress. there is a graphical element and text that is flowing around and over the graphic. I tagged the text and the graphic. Now it seems that parts of the text disappeared behind the graphic. I dont know how to get it back to the front. I would appreciate any help.

This is common when tagging a PDF for 508 compliance. The text is hiding behind the box. You can try fixing this using the Order pane, or for a greater degree of control use the Content pane. The elements that make up the white box (which are probably artifacted path elements in the Content pane) need to be positioned before the text in the content structure.

I recently ugraded to appleworks 6 from 5 on a PC with Win XP Pro. I had a database created in 5 which was imported to 6. My problem is that when I create a new record and I type in text, when I move to the next field the text disappears. If I go into an existing record and try to edit it, it works fine. I type in text and it remains.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
I don't really have a definitive answer. A couple of possibilities that help "funky" problems with databases on a Mac may help. First, save the AppleWorks 6 database as AppleWorks 5 & reopen this in AppleWorks 6. I know that your problem database (& mine) started out as AW 5, but it's worth a try as it seems to strip out some minor corruption. Second, create a new blank database in AppleWorks 6 with the same fields in the same order then go to File > Insert & select the problem database. It may be something in the file structure of the problem database. On a Mac, this can also be done by dragging the icon of the old DB onto the window of the new one. I've never tried that in Windows, but it may work.
I had this problem appear periodically in a database when I briefly used AppleWorks 6 on Windows 2000 Pro. Once the database did that, it even carried over when I opened the same database in AppleWorks 6 on my Mac. Unfortunately, the various things I tried to fix it didn't always work the next time it happened. I remember someone mentioning a fix in a forum several years ago, but by the time it happened to me I couldn't remember or find the post.

Photoshop CS6 type on a path and workpaths

Has any body else noticed that if you create a work path, then create a shape layer (say a rectangle) and type some text on the rectangle (text on a path)
that if you commit the type and switch to the Path Selection Tool to edit the path text (position of the starting or end points) photoshop cs6 replaces your previous workpath with
a workpath of the shape layer you typed on?
Is photoshop cs6 supposed to work that way?
Windows 8 x64 and photoshop 13.01
new document a create a workpath
create a rectangle shape layer and type on the rectangle shape layer path
edit the type end or start points with the Path Selection Tool
The orginal workpath has been replaced by the rectangle shape layer path

Interesting find. Same on Mac.
In CS5.1, an existing Work Path is unaffected by an edit made to the Path of a Type layer.
Looks like a bug in CS6.

Why does my text disappear when I apply an effect to it?

Recently, whenever I try applying an effect to my text layer(s), the text completely disappears from the layer and therefore is not showing up when I preview my composition. How do I stop this? I'm using CS5.5 if that helps.

Just the text in my text layer is what's disappearing. I import my image file, drag it onto the board and then click to add a text layer. I type out my text and then go into the effects & presets, select Animation Presets --> Text --> Animate In -->,Straight In MultiLine, drag the effect into the text layer and then my text disappears, as shown in the second image below ...This just recently started happening to me and I don't know how to get it back. I'm using After Effects CS5.5. I'm very new at this programs so I apologize for not being able to provide a ton of info...

Reverse Type on a Path

Often I accidently click on the edge of a text box with the type on a path tool. How can I reverse that and remove the position lines and stuff that show up?

with Your text box selected, go to Type > Type on a Path > Delete Type from Path

Thanks!

Disabling "Type on a Path"

Is there a way to disable this function?
I regularly have to edit text within a grid of lines in illustrator. I can replace/edit text zoomed out, but when I try the cursor automatically changes to the type on a path tool. I then have to zoom in, edit text, zoom back out thousands of times a day. It would save me a bunch of time if I could set the type tool to ignore paths and only select text.
I could take the grid of lines on the files I'm working on and send them to back and lock them, but I am dealing with tens of thousands of files, and it's just not practical.
Anyone know of a way to get rid of type on a path, or at least prevent Illustrator from automatically switching to that tool when I hover the type tool over a path?

There is no good way to disable type on the path tool. There should be, it should be a separate subtool that never comes up automatically, or at least a setting to make it behave like that. Most instances of its usage are accidental.
Stopgap solutions involve locking or hiding objects, making sure your text objects are on top, and working more zoomed in than you want to.

Trying to type on a path (CS5) and get small circle with plus sign???

I am trying for the first time to type on a path that I have made. I go to the type tool, type one letter which never appears...but the small circle with a plus sign inside it appears right at that spot on the path. Would love to know what is happening...and how I resolve it. Have googled and searched my books to no avail!

I had been doing what you suggested...but in going back this morning to try it again, I discovered that the box for centered text was selected from an earlier project...and obviously that doesn't work on a path!
Thank you.

You need two paths.. one for the top text, and one for the bottom text. Adjusting the Type on a Path Options for the path witht he bottom text will allow you to move it to the outside and right reading.
Not really!
1 Create your text on a path as you have already done
2 but type the word circle backward "elcriC"
3 select the backward type word circle with the text tool
4. go to the character panel and type 180 in the character rotate input field and hit return
That should do it. That is what I did here and it is all on one path. You can also give it a baseline shift to get it to align better with the path itself.

Type on a Path handle stuck

I created a line and used the Type on a Path tool to add text to the line. While I was adding the text I realized I needed the line to be longer. I pulled the handle to make the line longer, but it leaves the text path the shorter length. I grabbed the text path handle to make it the same length as the line, but it won't expand. I can make the path shorter, but not longer. It's acting as if it doesn't realize the line got longer and so it stops at the original line length's end point. Is there a setting that is causing this issue or just a bug? Usually when this happens I end up making a new path and pasting the text onto it because I can't figure out what's going on.
Mac OSX 10.5.4
InDesign CS3 5.0.4

I don't seem to be able to reproduce the problem. It's often easier, I find, to manipulat type on a path using the direct select tool.
You might want to try replacing your preferences.
