Why does the text in text boxes go invisible when annotating PDFs in preview?

If I hover my mouse over where the text box is, the little yellow box that tells you what text is there comes up and shows what the box is supposed to say, but the text is invisible. If I double click the area where the text is supposed to be, it highlights and makes the text visible again. Its not that the text is white, because if i drag it over a dark area, it still doesn't show up. This happens when I open it up again after annotating and saving/closing it. I attached pictures of my cursor hovering over the invisible text box, and one of it hovering over an unaffected text box, for comparison. This has happened to me before. What is happening and how do i stop it?

But, about half the time, when i am finished typing and click out of the box, back to view the result, the text does not appear. If i go back to Edit Content within the box, it is there, but disappears when i exit the box. It does not print when i print a test sheet.
The fact that 'about half the time' you are seeing this issue and presumably not the other part of the time, I would suggest trying to run the 'Repair Database' option in the First Aid dialog:
Quit Aperture > press and hold Option + Command keys while launching Aperture > select and run the 'Repair Database' option.
Post back as needed.

Why is the text box acting so weird??

I am trying to do something simple that I've done a million times in Photoshop CS5 -- create a text box with some text inside. But something is going wrong and I can't quite figure it out...
Notice how the text box is now much larger than the text displayed. I would like to make this text box as wide as the guide aligned with the "Donate" box.
... But when I pull the right middle handlebar in slightly, look what happens to the text:
Any idea what's going on here?

Did the text come from an email or a word processor? Try cutting and pasting the text into a word processor. Opt for showing all the formatting marks, such as spaces, paragraphs, etc. Delete everything but the text and necessary spaces. Paste it back into a new text box created to the size you want with the text tool. It should now flow to the size of the box. The other option is to retype the text into a properly sized text box, making sure not to use the return button at all. I know this answer doesn't specifically address what is wrong with the box you show, but it should get the text into the shape you want.

Why Are the Text Boxes I Create in a Layout Not Editable When I Add Them?

I've made some chapter and section layouts and in the layouts panel when I select them the text boxes are red and editable. But when I apply the layout to a page in my book, everything is greyed out. Nothing is locked, but now my layouts are useless.
Have anyone else had this issue? Am I just creating the text boxes incorrectly? What's the problem?

I figured it out but this is a HUGE gotcha for anyone else this happens to.
While editing layouts, there is an option in the Layout Tab in the Inspector called "Editable on Pages Using This Layout". This MUST be checked for each object you want to change in the pages you add to a book.

go to Tools, add-ons, then only disable java 6.0.22 ONLY, then you have to click on restart. That solved my problem.

Why does the Linksys WRT54G router REQUIRE a hostname when it's never used?

Why does the Linksys WRT54G REQUIRE a hostname when it's never used?
I can't find a single use for the router hostname, yet the Linksys WRT54G version 5 firmware v1.00.6 wireless router REQUIRES a hostname, even though nothing actually uses that hostname.
Why does the router require a hostname (why can't we just leave that field blank)?

Date: Sun, 8 Jul 2007
To: [email protected]
From: "Debbie Hurley"
Subject: "Unnecessary Router Name Requirement" bug in WRT54G V5
This is to report a bug in the "Setup", "Basic Setup"
tab, "Router Name" field
(https://10.2.18.20/basic.htm) in the otherwise
wonderful Linksys WRT54G V5 wireless router (firmware
revision 1.02.0).
As you are aware, a router is a security and privacy
device; as such, it should not require identifying
information if that identifying information is not
needed nor used by the user or their ISP.
Such is the case with the "router name" field.
In the case of the "Unnecessary Router Name
Requirement" bug, I am reporting to you (and to the
associated Linksys forums at forums.linksys.com) the
Router Name field should NOT be required. It should be
an option to leave the Router Name field blank.
The fact that the router name field MUST exist
(whether or not it is actually used or desired), is an
obvious security and privacy flaw in the otherwise
wonderful Linksys WRT54G router. Please fix this bug.
Thank you very much,
D. Hurley

When using classic dialog controls in labview 7.1 why does the text color that I have selected always stays black?

I have an older program created in LV 6.0.2 that uses dialog buttons. The text color is red or blue. When I load it into LV 7.1 the color stays black. When I edit text I can see that the color is correct but it will not display the color when I leave edit mode on the control. Even if I select a new button from the classic tools pallete "dialog controls" I am unable to change the text color.
What is happening? Why does LV 7.1 prevent this text color change?
Roger

The dialog control colors are set by the operating system so they match other controls that the OS generates. So in LabVIEW 6, they were actually not behaving correctly.
The following text is from the LabVIEW help on Dialog controls.
"You cannot customize the appearance of the dialog spin control, slide controls, or progress bars because the controls and indicators use platform-specific drawing functions that do not support customization. You also cannot use Property Nodes and Invoke Nodes to customize the appearance of these controls and indicators."
If you need different text color, you'll have to use the non dialog controls.

Why does the text look pixelated

I am using Helvetica Neue and when I publish the site the text looks pixelated.

Best practice is to use a Web Font, if possible. If not, use a Web Safe Font and only as a last resort use a System Font (since it will be converted to an image). An image is slower to load in your browser, prevents site viewers from copy/pasting your text content, prevents using the browser's Find feature within the page, and prevents you from being able to apply hyperlinks on ranges of text. Muse does automatically generate "alt tags" for the image, so search engines will still be aware of the original text content.
If a System Font is used, it will only render well if the background of the text frame is 100% opaque. (It has a solid fill color. An 100% opaque gradients. Or it has a 100% opaque fill image.) This is due to the fact smoothing the edges of the type on an LCD display requires knowing the color of the pixels behind the text. If the text frame is transparent then the smoothing will be performed using an inferior approach that is color agnostic to avoid creating color artifacts on the edges of the type. (Note that bringing in a transparent image containing the type from some other source will have the same problem.)

Why does the text gets created in tomcat base directory?

Hi friends,
can anybody tell me when i create a text file abc.txt from my servlet from the application base
c:\tomcat6\webapps\filterApplication\ ,
the text file gets created in c:\tomcat6\abc.txt
I want the text be created relative to the application i.e. c:\tomcat6\webapps\filterApplication\abc.txt , so that my
code will be portable.
In summary :
file being created => c:\tomcat6\abc.txt
expected location=> c:\tomcat6\webapps\filterApplication\abc.txt
my file write code within my servlet:
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("abc.txt");
fw.write("Some entry text here---");

Why does the text size shrink when I make the window smaller?

I have some notes in a DOCX page. I don't want the entire page blocking up the desktop yet I want to see the notes. When I change the size of the page, the text shrinks too. How useless is that?
How to I keep the text normal size and have a smaller page?
Everything I know I learned from my cat. No matter what the situation is, there is a napp for that.

Hi,
When we I change the size of the page manually in Word 2013, the text won’t shrinks. I also resize the window via code below:
Sub ReSizeWinodw()
Application.ActiveWindow.WindowState = wdWindowStateNormal
Application.ActiveWindow.Width = 500
Application.ActiveWindow.Height = 500
End Sub
It won’t shrink the text too. If you are using code to resize the window of Word, would you mind sharing with us some code snippet to help us to troubleshoot this issue?
If not, I suggest you posting it to
Word IT Pro Discussions get more effective responses.

Why does the text display differently on two different computers?

I created a Keynote presentation on my G5 which contains some slides with type. I copied the presentation to my MacBook Pro, which I use for presentations, and the text moved! I had some that was fine, but some where the whole text block moved and some text that reflowed. I did not get any font error messages and both computers are using the same fonts which I control using Suitcase Fusion. Any suggestions?
Mac OS X (10.4.9)

That’s a lot of work for nothing, IMO. You could just convert the text to an MSO or even a scrolling frame using this method:

Why are the text boxes blacked out since I updated to mountain lionxt boxes since I updated to Mountain Lion

Ever since I updated to Mountain Lion, I have blacked out text boxes. Can anyone help me? Thanx

Where? Which apps? Details missing.

When I open a pages doc why does the text not show but the preview in Finder shows the text?

Doc shows a blank page but shows the number of pages at the bottom and flickers the text when I click on Outline icon.

In most cases it is because you have not updated Pages to the current version.

Why does the text size option have no effect?

Hi, text is really small. When going through display option settings and enlarging the text using the A button it has no effect on actual pages. The text is still tiny. I have tried downloading 'no small text' but get the message that it's incompatible. Is there a solution? Thanks.
I have version 29.

It's unclear but that desktop font sizing change only affects "certain desktop optimized websites". It's really misleading.
There is no way to adjust font sizing on mobile optimized websites which I assume you're trying to adjust.
