Vertical line and missing quotation marks

I am a new user to FlashPaper. When I created by PDF from
Microsoft Word, a black vertical line appeared and my quotation
marks disappeared. What happened? What am I doing wrong?

As you say, it's not waterproof, but it is really helpfull, thanks. The unclosed quotation are easy to find this way.
In Dutch we mainly use single quotation marks (double quotation marks are only used for quotations within quotations). This brings an extra dimension to the issue, since the apostrophe and single quotation mark are the same character. So a phrase like ' I'm having problems finding unopened quotations' with your GREP suggestion will mark the apostrophe in I'm as the closing quotation mark.
So what I'll do is:
1. find unclosed quotations ‘[^’]+?‘ and mark them with a character style WARNING;
2. GREP search ’[^‘]+?’ two following closing quotation marks and make them C=100;
3. GREP search ’[^‘’]+?’ the correct quotations and mark it all K=100;
4. Do a regular search for '^$ any apostrophe/quotation mark followed by a letter and mark them all K=100;
5. Do a regular search for any closing quotation mark left in C=100 and manually WARNING-mark the ones that need to be looked at by the editor.
Step 4 is a bit tricky since any error like 'I agree,'he said (no space after quotation mark) will be marked back to K=100 as well, but those errors I'll probably notice since they're underlined by the grammar control option.
Thanks again for the help.

  • Script or GREP search line for missing quotation marks (opening or closing)

    Hi there,
    I've being trying to figure out a GREP search that will help me find quotations that haven't been opened or closed properly. Does anyone know if there exists a script that will mark/help me find the quotation marks that incorrectly stand alone? A GREP search line would be fine too.
    Following is an example - just to make sure I made myself clear:
    'why is the closing quotation mark missing after the question mark? I asked.
    'I don't know, this line seems to be fine, with opening and closing quotation mark,' I answered.
    Although this line is missing an opening quotation mark.'
    Hope somebody can help me, I'm pretty sure I'm not the first person searching for a solution on this issue - sorry, I'm not to bright with scripting or GREP.
    Thnx.
    Gijs

  • Adding a Kerning amount to the space between a digit and a quotation mark in GREP

    Hello,
    For some reason I am having a problem adding a Kerning amount between a digit and the Quotation mark in GREP.. Here is what I have :
    (?<=\d)\x{0022}
    I think the problem, is the character style lets me add a tracking amount, but not specify a kerning amount and that is what I really need. I just need a 150 Kern between the digit (sometimes a whole number or a fraction and the double quotation mark.
    Anyone out there know a good way to do this?
    thanks
    babs

    Almost right.
    No, you cannot set kerning in a character style (easily -- I think there was a trick to work around it, but I cannot recall what it was). Yep, you must apply tracking with the GREP style to part of the string. If you set the tracking for both characters, it will also be applied to the second one, making this wider as well.
    Set your GREP to this to prevent it:
    \d(?=~")
    (where the code ~" is equal to 'straight double quotes only').

  • Black Vertical lines and a thin yellow haze in the center of my screen

    I can't seem to find the answer to this question, or one that my be a solution. I recently discovered black vertical lines and a yellow haze in the center of my ipod nano 4GB.
    One discussion said I should put it to sleep for 4 hours and the lines will erase. That didn't work. What's the common cause to this and how can I fix it? And could it be because I converted it from a mac to windows itunes?

    Try giving it a reset. hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that fixes it.

    It may have a bad display screen but you could try resetting to see if that helps.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

  • Use 40 black 1 pixel x 400 pixel vertical lines, and create an experimental composition using varying vertical spacing?

    Ive been pulling my hair out on how to do this all day and im getting no where i dont even know where to begin! Please help if anyone knows how to do this.

    enforcer4u,
    she said posting here if help was needed was a good idea...
    This is Classroom in a forum.
    I believe the first line should have read Use 40 black 1 pixel x 400 pixel vertical lines, and create an experimental composition using varying vertical > horizontal spacing.
    One way (she may be following this thread, you know) would be to:
    1) create a horizontal/vertical (composition Three/Four) line with the Pen Tool with a length corresponding to the whole composition and two or more Anchor Points, ShiftClickDragging at each with different lengths of the Handles;
    2) Create a vertical/horizontal line by ClickDragging with the Line Tool (or just Click with the Line Tool and set the Length and direction, then move a copy (ShiftAlt/OptionDrag the original, start dragging a tiny bit before you press the keys);
    3) Object>Blend>Blend Options, set Spacing to Specified Steps, 38 steps;
    4) Select the lines from 2) and Object>Blend>Make;
    5) Select both the Blend from 4) and the line from 1) and Object>Blend>Replace Spine.
    Other ways include creating the first line and then ShiftAlt/OptionDragging to create the other lines up/down/left/right depending on composition, or creating or all the lines (maybe using the blend) and then ShiftClickDragging individual lines.

  • Why when I want to take photo , the camera will appear such pink colour vertical line and become black and the video just can record 1 min only  ?

    why when I want to take photo , the camera will appear such pink colour vertical line and become black and the video just can record 1 min only  ? why ? is that any problem ?

    are you using the iOS camera? if you do, visit your apple store for further help, sounds like a hardware problem.
    or:
    hold home and lock button pressed until your iphone restarts.
    if that didn't help, visit your apple store.
    if you are not using the iOS camera, delete that app.

  • Bold, vertical, line and inverted drawing created when using Penpad in Flash CC - Help?

    Hello.
    Just recently, whenever I use my VisTablet 465 Penpad Stylus and tablet to mark on the Canvas in Flash, a vertical line is created. The length of it is proportional to how horizontally centered the cursor is on the screen. When I try to move the cursor, the brush makes an inverted mark off the end of the line. I cannot find out how to stop it, and cannot draw anything sensible in Flash.
    I contacted Flash assistance, and this was the conversation:
    Vivek: Hi, Welcome to Adobe Support.
    Vivek: Please give me a moment to study this case.
    Martin Laight: Thanks Vivek.
    Vivek: Are you using the latest version of driver for the tablet.
    Vivek: Please make sure Flash pro version, Tablet driver version and Windows is up to date.
    Martin Laight: Yes, we believe it to be 'Model A' driver from the VisTablet website
    Vivek: This kind of issues requires the envolvement from engineering team
    Martin Laight: As far as we can see all drivers are up to date. The pen pad works fine in Windows 7 Paint
    Vivek: ok
    Vivek: Please go to the link above and post the issue with tablet model, operating system details.
    Please help if you can.

    Hi,
    The issue is resolved in the latest update of Flash Pro.Please update Flash professional to 14.1.0.96 .Follow the instruction below for the same :
    Installation instructions
    Log out and log in to the CC desktop application. Update the application when prompted.
    You should see the list of new updates as soon as the new CC desktop application is launched.
    Install Flash Professional CC and Mobile Device Packaging app. On a high speed connection, it took me around 8 minutes.
    After the application is installed, you can launch the application directly from the desktop app by clicking on it.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • White lines and missing colour in extruded text

    hello, i know this question has be asked many time but i havent found a solution as yet. I am usinf Cs5
    I am finding these white lines in t he 3d part of the text and missing colour in the text itself. This occurs when viewing in illustator itself and when saved as pdf and jpg.
    I have noticed a solution has been to flatten the image or rastarize it. This does not give me the quality i want, and to me defeats the purpose of doing something in illustror cancels out the ability to resize.
    I need a solution ASAP as client needs their logo

    i have an i pod touch which appears to be frozen it has multicoloured vertical lines on the screen and is non responsive has anyone had the same probs

    If that does not work:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Vertical lines and image gradients appearing on G5? PLEASE HELP!

    Hello! I have been experiencing some issues with my G5 recently, in which I haven't been able to find very much information at all on. So, I figured I'd try to get everything sorted out here, and see if any one knows how I can fix my problem?
    Vertical lines ;
    From what I've seen, this seems to be a pretty common problem. It started one day when I discovered just a single pixel blue line running down the very center of my screen. After a while I learned to ignore it, but overtime, more began to appear. I am now up to 33 of these lines spanning in various different spots on the screen, all different colors. Again, I've learned to cope, but with time, more seem to be appearing. I'm just wondering how I can fix it, before it gets too bad?
    Image gradients ;
    I have never been able to find anyone with a problem even slightly like this on my type of computer, so I'm curious to know if anyone else has ever had this problem, or have seen of anyone who has? It seems that not too long after the vertical lines began showing up, that a weird sort of gradient type texture has appeared on many of the default mac images, along with images and videos in both preview and iMovie/quicktime. Here is an example of part of my screen:
    I find that the places it effects the most are in games, such as Minecraft or the Sims 2, in which I used to play a lot a few years back. It also effects exported photos and videos if uploaded to the internet. For example, I uploaded a video to YouTube recently, in which I played back on my phone a few hours later to find that it had the gradient on it as well, only a red version. My brother seems to think its a virus, but I'm not sure? Does anyone know how I can fix this?
    Thank you for taking the time to read!

    The problem is usually a damaged graphics chip.  Run the hardware test that came with the machine.  The fact that the Apple menu is showing issues, says it is not with the image in question, nor with the screen image you grabbed.  The screen capture depends on the graphics chip to render the image correctly.  The fact is not, it captures the problem.  If the hardware test is unrevealing, you may have bad RAM.  Make sure the RAM is designated as iMac G5 compatible RAM, and not just any PC4200 RAM.  Be careful to identify your iMac G5 correctly as there may be more than one type of iMac G5 compatible RAM:

  • Query for Find Mode Fails-AutoGenerated WHERE clause missing quotation mark

    Using Oracle JDev 10.1.3.2. In 'Find Mode' the query execution fails.
    The error shown below is caused by the WHERE clause statement. The column name is quoted in the database but the code generated by the ADF framework does not use quotes. As a result the column name is illegal. Is there a way to hint to the ADF framework to ALWAYS use quotation marks?
    (oracle.jbo.SQLStmtException) JBO-27122: SQL error during statement preparation. Statement: SELECT * FROM (SELECT "PLATE","WROW","WCOL","WFIELD","AVGNUC.NUC_CELL_INTENSITY","MEDNUC.NUC_CELL_INTENSITY","AVGORG.INCLUSION_BCKG_INTE","MEDORG.INCLUSION_BCKG_INTE","MEDORG.COUNT","MEDORG.SPACING","MEDORG.NEIGHBOR_COUNT" FROM ICSUMSTAS_1888_295) QRSLT WHERE ( ( (MEDORG.COUNT >0) ) )

    It is true that these are not the most column 'friendly' names, but they are what they are. In the database these columns are quoted and they must be so in order for the query to work correctly.
    The suggestion of directly manipulating the View Criteria is a good one and I have implemented a solution based on it but it's cumbersome. Here is how it works:
    First, use the default query mode UI to add new View Criteria. If you were to execute the query at this point it would fail due to the columns names not being quoted. So, instead, implemented my own execute query button that first uses the View Criteria to create a properly quoted WhereClause for the ViewObject.
    I then reset the ViewCriteria (or they will interfere with the WhereClause), set the custom constructed WhereClause on the ViewObject, and re-execute the query. The cumbersome part is that I have to create my own parser for user input to write a valid WhereClause. And when the user uses query mode again the previously set ViewCriteria have been reset (which is annoying, and not the typical query mode behavior which might confuse the user)
    below are some of my code snippets:
    * This action is triggered by clicking the FIND button on the UI.
    * It uses a combination of the ViewCriteria default UI and custom code that processes
    * user input into a whereClause for the ViewObject
    private void jbFind_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    jbAddRow.setEnabled(false);
    //reset old where clause
    System.out.println("OLD WHERE:"+myView.getWhereClause());
    myView.setWhereClause(null);
    String customWhere=getCustomWhere();
    /* The case for null and blank View Criteria is tested below
    * when there are blank ViewCriteria the sequence (--) is generated from getCustomWhere
    * Note the use of contains instead of equals
    * The use of equalIgnoreCase etc for unexplained reasons seem to fail to detect when customWhere is (--)
    if(customWhere==null||customWhere.contains("(--)")){
    return;
    }else{
    /*remove ViewCriteria because they can not handle special Column names
    * That's why we go into the trouble of creating our own find function
    myView.getViewCriteria().removeAllElements();
    myView.setWhereClause(customWhere);
    myView.executeQuery();
    jUNavigationBar1.doAction(JUNavigationBar.BUTTON_EXECUTE);
    jTable1.revalidate();
    private String getCustomWhere(){
    StringBuffer custom=new StringBuffer();
    ApplicationModule am = (ApplicationModule) panelBinding.getApplication().getDataProvider();
    DCJboDataControl jbodc = new DCJboDataControl(am);
    JUIteratorBinding iterBinding = new JUIteratorBinding(jbodc,myView );
    int criteriaCount=iterBinding.getViewCriteria().getRowCount();
    //Validation when no ViewCriteria are defined
    if (criteriaCount==0){
    System.out.println("ViewCriteria Count: "+criteriaCount);
    return null;
    }else{
    System.out.println("ViewCriteria Count: "+criteriaCount);
    int attr=iterBinding.getViewCriteria().getCurrentRow().getAttributeCount();
    int criteriaRows=iterBinding.getViewCriteria().getAllRowsInRange().length;
    String[] attrNames=iterBinding.getViewCriteria().getCurrentRow().getAttributeNames();
    for (int r=0;r<criteriaRows;r++)
    {custom.append("(");
    for (int k=0;k<attr;k++){
    if(iterBinding.getViewCriteria().getRowAtRangeIndex(r).getAttribute(k)!=null){
    custom.append("(\""+attrNames[k]+"\"");// LIKE '"+(String)iterBinding.getViewCriteria().getRowAtRangeIndex(r).getAttribute(k)+"') AND ");

  • HELP! Vertical Lines and Can't Use Half of My Screen. What is Wrong???

    Ok, this is really frustrating. Please read first.
    I did not spill anything or drop my MacBook. A week ago, it was fine. And then I picked it up and opened it to check something, and my screen was SCREWED. Nearly half of the screen is filled with colorful, vertical lines. Between the lines is filled in with white. I can't see anything underneath and makes it so difficult to use my MacBook.
    I don't know what is wrong. I called some places and some say it might be the video card, while a few say it may be the screen. I'm thinking of going to Best Buy since it's closer just to see what is up.
    I purchased my MacBook in 09 and never had a problem. The warranty is gone. If it is internal, there is no way I'm paying/can afford $700+ and I'll have to downgrade for a PC I just don't understand what went wrong... can anyone help me save my Mac?? Does it sound internal or a screen issue?
    I also took a pic with my phone of my Mac when it's on screensaver mode if that helps...

    Hi HayItsRenee & welcome to the forum.
    I'm sorry to hear about your troubles
    Here are a few possibilities:
    1) The display itself is bad.
    2) The inverter cable is bad.
    3) The video card is failing.
    Do you have your install discs? If so, try booting up from your install disc to see if the same issue shows up. If you have the adapter that will allow you to connect your MacBook to an external display, you could try that as another troubleshooting step.
