Why is my text frame edge showing when I print?

My text frame edge shows up sometimes when it overlaps another frame. It doesn't show up in the document when I am creating it, but it shows up when I print. It is not a solid line all around the frame, instead, it just shows up in small lines once in awhile. I have attached a picture showing the black dashed lines through the words "pow" and "baby. Please let me know what I should be doing differently!

Could be the printer (do the lines stay in the same place on every print? How about if you rotate the page 180?) or they could be transparency flattening artifacts, in which case exporting to PDF with live transparency and printing that might work better than printing direct from ID.

How can I stop text from being show when I print it?

You can see the webpage I am working on here: http://www.peterforkes.com/Resume.html
I created a staylesheet called "print.css" and added the following lines to my Resume.html file:
<link href="_css/Resume.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<link href="_css/Print.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" />
In my Resume.html file I have a link that will print a PDF of my resumé. However, if you print the resumé then I do not want the link to print the resumé to be shown.
In the print.css I created the following class:
.doNotPrint {
color: #FFF;
I applied the class to the 'offending' text, thus:
<p class="doNotPrint"><a href="PDFs/Peter A. Forkes - Resume.pdf">Resume.pdf</a></p>
however, it does not seem to have any effect. I am assuming (since the background is white) that changing the text color to white should make it invisible.
If you can suggest either how to make my method work (or suggest a better method) that that should mean that I have finished everything I want to do with my webpage.
Thanks,
Peter

I am assuming (since the background is white) that changing the text color to white should make it invisible.
The problem with the CSS is that you've targeted the <p> tag with the rule, not the <a> tag so it has no effect. Normal text in that paragraph will print in white but links will display in #333 because of your rule on a:link and a:visited
Nevertheless, I would avoid those tricks in case you incur the displeasure of the search engines. They're widely used by spammers and are punished accordingly (even though I know we're talking about a print stylesheet and your intentions are honourable :-).
In your print stylesheet, change
.doNotPrint {
color: #FFF;
to
.doNotPrint {
display:none;

Why is my texting using data? When I have data turned off I can't send/receive. Texting is "unlimited" but it's using up all my data- help!

Why is my texting using data? When I have data turned off I can't send/receive. Texting is "unlimited" but it's using up all my data- help!

Texting longer text messages or any media (pictures/video/sound etc) being sent requires data to be active. However, it does not count against your data caps.
Since you have an iPhone, you must also be aware of the difference between iMessage and SMS Text messages. The iPhone, by default, will send an iMessage when sending another text message to anyone else with an iPhone, iTouch, or iPad. This does use your data if you are not connected to wifi. In Settings, you can turn iMessage off, and then all of your texts will go through Verizon.
Also understand- iMessage will use wifi when connected to wifi, but would need cellular data connection to work when not connected to wifi. Regular SMS text messages that are long or any media will always use the cellular data and not wifi, so will not send if cellular data is turned off, even if on wifi. However, this does not count against your cap.

Why do I get faint horizontal lines when I print from elements 12 mac

why do I get faint horizontal lines when I print from elements 12 mac

Hi Ben,
I can't reproduce that behavior. The only two things I can think of at the moment are (1) you accidentally added a shortcut as a panel shortcut instead of a diagram shortcut or (2) the name of the object you specified isn't for the "Multiply" node, but for some other node (you said "Multiplication" in your initial post) that can only be dropped in certain places (i.e. maybe it's a node that is only valid in Simulation diagrams). Can you post the following lines from your LabVIEW INI file so I can look into it further:
QuickDropDiagramShortcuts
QuickDropPanelShortcuts
Let me know,
-D
Edit: Yeah, what he said.

Why are InDesign text frames uneditable, or converted to outlined objects, when opened in CS4?

When opening a CS3 Layout in CS4 to make client text changes, all the text frame box edges (on their appropriate layers) are shown as dotted lines, and none of the type is editable!
I restored the old version, and opened in CS3 old version, and the same thing applies! Arggggh - there must be a frame preference that I don't know about or an instruction accidentally given.
How do I convert the text boxes back to editable regions? Got a deadline and am miffed.
I am a 20 year veteran of Pagemaker/Indesign/CS and this has never happened to me before!

Dotted lines for frame edges means that the item is on the Master Page. That’s why you can’t edit items, because they are on the Master, not on the numbered page. Either Command-Shift-click on the object to edit it or edit it on the Master Page. You should find out why so much of the document was built on the Master Page. Either the designer meant this to be a template for multiple existing or future pages, or someone just wasn’t paying attention and didn’t realize they were designing on the Master.

Text frame only shows a single line / always overset

I have an InDesign CS 4 file that I'm trying to open in CS 5.5. When I try to edit the text in any text frame (e.g., in Story Editor), it tells me the text is overset and only displays a single line even though the field is clearly tall enough. Basically, it won't wrap the text onto the next line. In fact, trying to create a new text frame is always overset. It works correctly if I create a new document though.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

This means the frame is too narrow to hold the line, which can happen for a variety of reasons. IF text shows on the first line as you start to type, then disappears after a number of characters, you've got a setting that is preventing the text from breaking at the end of a line, possibly No Break applied to all text, or you have hyphenation turned off and are using non-breaking spaces (I see that a lot in imported Word files). If you never see any text, then it's probably an indent problem, either a frame attribute, or more likely the paragraph indent settings for the style or applied to the text as local formatting (saw that one the other day, also in an imported Word file).

Why does some text convert to outlines when opening a PDF in AI?

I often have to open PDFs saved from InDesign CS5 in Illustrator CS5 (Mac). These PDFS are saved from InDesign using Press or PDFX1-a settings.
When I open them in AI, I get the warning that "to preserve appearance, some text has been outlined".
Of course, I do not want this to happen.
The text that gets outlined is nothing special. It is seemingly at random within a paragraph or within a cell of a table. In the screen shot below, live text has the blue underline; outlined text does not.
I can see no rationale for it. There is no transparency involved. Just black text on no background. There is no special "appearance" that needs to be preserved. Fonts are all Adobe OTF (Myriad Pro shown below).
Can anyone explain why this happens?

PDFs are not supposed to be edited as a rule.
Lots of odd things can happen to text (but also other objects) when you open a PDF - that is not a pdf with the editable Illustrator file saved within it - and try to edit it.
Illustrator is not a general purpose editor of pdf files.
PDF files are supposed to be an end-format, not a format that you edit.
What happens to text in a pdf when opened in Illustrator is perfectly normal. There isn't really much you can do about it except recreate the text in Illustrator from scratch, with the desired font, and re-export to the pdf-version you need.

Text doesn't show when I embed

Hi, thanks for taking the time to look at my problem.
I have Flash CS3, and I just downloaded the Pirulen font. I
played my movie and it works. When I tried to embed the font, the
text doesn't show up at all.
Also, I have a tint on my text on a keyframe, and if I click
on the timeline, the text shows up black like it should, but when I
export it, the text stays red. I tried different fonts, but none of
them work.

and are you embedding the needed characters? if yes, are you
embedding the needed characters?
are you referencing your textfield with actionscript
anywhere? if so, post (only) the code that references your
textfield (using the attach code option in this forum).

Just wondering if anyone knows why these lines are showing when I print?

Hi,
I am new to Photoshop Elements and was wondering if anyone could help. I do not want these lines around my image showing up when I print. I am using Elements 8, Epson Artisan 1430 printer and Windows 8.
Thank-you!

Use the crop tool. If the paper stock is 5x7, then crop the file to 5x7.
clctopoftheline wrote:
The paper has also been cropped and sized to the paper stock I am using.
I do not comprehend this.
Additional suggestions:
Be sure that you have the latest drivers for the printer. Check on the Epson web site
Clean the printhead and align the cartridges under maintainance
Make sure the size of paper loaded matches the paper size selected in PSE

Why does my PDF look so CRAPPY when I print through acrobat???

I have been having troubles with exporting a PDF from an Indesign file.. when I printed the exported PDF from acrobat, text was printing out very pixelated. I was exporting the file in indesign as a press quality pdf. The text looked fine when I viewed it in acrobat and zoomed in, but when I printed it out it looked very pixelated and not as black as it had when I had printed the file directly from indesign.
so this is what I've figured it out so far... I was exporting to PDF in indesign then opening it in adobe arobat pro and printing from there... for some reason when I went into my advanced print settings in acrobat, it was set to "print as image: 100 dpi." I changed it and it printed out better but not perfect. To double check it was adobe that was causing the issue, I opened and printed the pdf through mac preview. This looked perfect - - exactly like it did when I printed through INDD.
So my questions are, 1> WHY does it automatically printing as an image 100 dpi in adobe? and 2> how can I change this setting so when my client opens it up, they dont have to mess with any of the print settings to get it to look how it's supposed to? Is this a setting I can change when I save the file? I want to make sure it prints out correctly because one of the fonts used is ultralight and can look very very light if printed incorrecty. It looks perfect when I print through preview, but even printing as an image in 600 dpi through acrobat pro, the ultralight font looks lighter and more faded than it should (and than it does in the preview and INDD printed files). If i unselect the "print as image" checkbox, the ultralight text looks better but still not perfect. So that would make my second question >> WHY is the print quality worse when I print through adobe, and how can I remedy this? Any ideas??? Any help much appreciated!
**using acrobat pro 9.4.6 on mac osx 10.6.8

The PDF file itself does not control the "print as image" preference, which should always be turned OFF unless there's a specific need to rasterize the entire page, and is turned off by default in all Acrobat and Adobe Reader installations.
What's the filetype for the ultralight font and what export setting* are you using in ID? If you're exporting to earlier than PDF1.7, OpenType fonts will be converted and may experience some small changes in shape if their hint definitions aren't done right.
*As a side note, bear in mind that InDesign does not use any part of Acrobat when exporting PDFs, so questions specific to that stage in the process should be posted to the InDesign forums.

Why is my InDesign CS6 document offsetting when it prints?

I've had CS6 for several months and had no issues... until now. Suddenly an 8.5" x 11" basic document i use regularly is printing with a .25" offset at top and left, as if allowing for bleeds. But I've checked all settings in document and print options, and offset is turned off, as are bleed/slug selections. I have no "invisible" items in my document that could be triggering bleeds by default. I'm stumped. Can anyone suggest any settings I might have missed?
Note: I recently printed a larger document with bleeds on ledger sized (11" x 17") paper through the manual feed tray. Some of those settings showed up in my document print options, and I've weeded those out (I think). But I'm still getting the offset when I print.

Thanks for the reply. I'd already checked the printer setup.
I reset the printer presets (at the very top of the print dialog box) to "default" and that seemed to fix the problem. I still have no idea what was selected/unselected to cause the offset issue.

Why won't rich symbol properties show when the .jsf file exists?

In FW CS4 I've created a rich symbol via the "create symbol script" command, then I reloaded my common library, and put the symbol from common librray on a page. Even though I have a .jsf file in C:\Documents and Settings\<user>Application Data\Adobe\Fireworks CS4\Common Library\Custom Symbols to match my symbol, there are no symbol properties available for it on my page.
I can use the create symbol script command again on this symbol & it comes up with the same properties I had already defined.
What would stop symbol properties from showing up when the symbol is taken from a recently reloaded Common Library & placed on a page?
I've discovered that I can see the properties when I use this symbol in a totally brand new Fireworks file, but I can't in an existing file that ever had that same symbol before, even when I tell FW to "Replace the existing item."
Below is my jsf file contents.
Thanks!

Solution Found: I had to explicitly delete the existing copy in my orginal FW file even though when I used the one from the common library I told it to "Replace the existing item" I guess the replace doesn't really work for rich symbols. After I deleted the symbol with the same name from the document library & pulled in the one from Common Library, it showed its rich symbol properties.

Why is my text rasterized and blurry when it loads in an object state?

My fonts are coming out blurry when I use them in an object state and the state is displayed, but nice and clear when placed on the main page outside of an object state. I'm using viewer 25 for my folio version and viewing it in adobe content viewer on the ipad. It is not yet published. Thank you.

You need to keep in mind that DPS is still very much a cobbled onto InDesign solution. MSOs were intended for SWF output and any changes beyond that happen in the folio overlays panel.
BTW, your replies via email show up on the web. No need to reply more than once.
