graphic block obscures text frame, even if the text is on a higher layer

I have a page of photos, each in its own framework and each with its own text block containing the caption for the photo. Behind all this and covering most of the page, I created an image of basic graphics in which I placed a picture as the background. I've done several times before, as recently as last month. This time, for some reason some unfathomable background obscures the text captions, as if the background was on a top layer (but it isn't). But he isn't obscuring the photos, only the legends. Another strange thing: InDesign error text in excess, which is clearly not. I tried to juggle the autour layers to see if that would solve the problem. No dice. The only thing that makes visible captions is to completely remove the graphic block. I tried just using a fill color in the frame, instead of the photo in the background, but the result is the same. I also tried to reduce the opacity of the fill/photo, but all that is to reduce the color in the white frame (the color of the page), it doesn't make transparent. I can make the image smaller, and this makes the text 'behind' it visible. But the color/background < rectangle > is the purpose of down in the layers list. It just does not behave like that. One last thing: I can go to the layers palette and hide the rectangle of <>by clicking the eyeball, but she is hiding it, it does not show the text 'behind' she captions. I suspect that an update shifted to creative cloud can be loaded here.

You have the text wraps not enabled for your background image, it pushes the text out of the text frame, which, of course, is causing overset text and you you see is not the text more. Select the inage background, choose the skin for Windows and click the more to the left to turn it off.

  • Framework 11 - group movement of objects in a graphical block

    In Framemaker 11, how can I move objects grouped in a graphic block at a specific location in the frame (by using the properties of the object, Position/size/Offset) without changing the line and fill of the grouped objects properties?  When I apply a new position of offset for objects grouped in Frame 11, the fill and line properties groupled objects (apparently) becomes a kind of default setting.  I don't want that to happen - I want that grouped all objects retain their initial line and fill properties.  I used previously to frame 9, and grouped objects preserved their initial properties after you apply the new Offset.

    When you have grouped objects and you want to use the properties of the object to move these, you must set all of the properties at AsIs everything first.

    Select each of the tabs Fill, Stroke and dressing and then click the arrow anti-clockwise at the top right to set these to AsIs first of all. Then in the Dimesions, set the top and left of the grouped objects positrons.

    Note: The clear Style button won't do it for you. It erases just any style named to be applied. You must always manually delete each property.

    This whole process (Object Styles) still needs some work by Adobe.

  • Continuous text blurry when the image is placed in the graphic block

    I've been using InDesign for over a year and love the software. One thing continues to drive me crazy and I don't know whats going on.

    Essentially when I add a picture in a page layout, often (but not always) the text continuous blur similar to anti-aliasing is disabled (it is not). He has just done again this morning. I laid out a drop business card, text or crispy. I add a graphic block and everythings still OK. I have put my PSD file in the chassis and bang hazy continuous text. If I select and delete the graphic block text sharpens once again to the top.

    I had a lot of situations where he does the same thing, but also sometimes when it is not. I don't see any clear link between what I (or I'm not) do and why this happens. Also, I considered that it was just a display issue and it would be nice when sent to the PDF format, but the quality of the text in a PDF document is noticeable, less with the chart than without it even to the 'press' of quality.

    Any help and suggestions appreciated.

    Jon

    Check the pages Panel and see if there is a check next to the page. This indicates the transparency in the PSD.

    Is your psd have a transparent background?

    Try to open the psd and save in tiff format.

    Select your image in photoshop and create a path. Change the path for a clipping path.

    Save it as a tiff file.

    Place the tiff.

    Go to object > Clipping Path Options

    Choose the path that you created in photoshop.

    The text is still unclear? Just need to check that it is actually the PSD which is the cause, and what makes a flat tiff with a clipping path will clear up if it is.

    You just need the transparent background if you put the picture on one color other than white, usually. So if the image does not need transparency or transparency background leave it flattened with a white background, while maintaining a clipping path if you need it.

    PSD files are usually very good to place and use in InDesign.

    Well hope that helps something here.

  • The blocks of text move in Muse

    I'm having a problem with the moving blocks of text. I'm trying to place a block of text on a chart. They are in the same layer. The graphic (png since Illustrator) is x 50px 960px. the text block is x 50px 200px. (Picture the graph under a brace of section and the text is the name of the section).

    I diligently to align the graphic frame and text to align horizontally (they have the same value of Y). In design mode, they are lined up. (The text is centered in the image horizontally) In preview, the text is is more aligned to the Center with the graph below him.

    I tried all PIN for browser, pin it to the page and not pin code... I was even considering sticking a PIN in my eye, but that seems not good either... I had this same problem with the other blocks of text as well. (Coincidentally also in addition to a PNG in Illustrator.) I had the text block completely disappear in the preview when pinned.

    I don't know that this is one of those really stoopid things simple if you know what to do, it's very simple... but if you do not have...

    The big question... What is the trick to get the text to appear in the same preview as it appears in the design?

    Someone got this?

  • Adding a graphic or a photo behind a block of text in InDesign CS

    Hello world

    I hope I can get help please on a problem I have. I'm without QuarkxPress to InDesign CS - after having for nearly six years! -thought it was time learn InDesign. So far, I really like it. But, I discovered a small problem I have encountered with Quark, but I'll have this with InDesign. I placed a vector image separately behind a block of text in title (also tried a photo). For some reason, the vector graphic completely covers the title text. I tried to 'put in the background,' which did not work, he was still covering the text. I made sure that there no fill color at all. I even tried to put the image on a separate layer 'behind' the title text and it still doesn't work. Could someone help me please. I would be so happy.

    Extract

    Two possibilities. The text is on a lower layer (which you say you checked) or you have applied to the cover image.

    Either disable it or select the text block, right click and select text properties of the frame, and then select ignore skin.

  • Blocks of text on the Master Pages with CS3?

    I produce a catalog in CS3 on my Mac using OS Mavericks.

    I put in place of master pages with square 6 graphic blocks on each page. Each of them has a CAPTION below, in which I put up as a block of text. I clicked on "Apply Master pages", but when I go to the blocks of text pages are not displayed to the top. The only way I can enter captions on pages is by creating new blocks of text, 6 on each page, which is very tedious and time consuming. What I am doing wrong?

    Thank you.

    Welll...

    As bob says it is not Quark where you can just click to type in a main frame, but you CAN Cmd + Shift + click to override the main chassis and type in it. You might be better off, however, with a framework prédimensionnée and style in a library that you can drag onto the page and position. My feeling on frameworks masters get substitution is that they probably shouldn't be on the master page at all.

  • How can I create a series of blocks of text using the Excel list values?

    It is first of all, the first script I am trying to write from scratch. I'm completely green at the script and I picked up a few bits of ID Adobe scripting guide, but nothing has really stuck still relating to this particular goal.

    My supervisor maintains a master list of advertising space, with the name of the account, is the width of the space, and how space is the height, in an Excel sheet. These spaces can number in the hundreds, and I'm stuck manually drawing a rectangle for each space, which takes a lot of time.

    I would like to create / helped to create a script that will take these values and "magically" to draw these spaces in the form of blocks of text, with the width (in columns) and the height (in inches) defined by the values in the main list, as well as the name of each account in the subsequent text frames.

    The script didn't necessarily need to be able to pull the values directly from the Excel sheet; Can I transfer a file text if necessary, or directly in the script, values he change because I need it. A great thing (if she is not able to pull directly from an Excel sheet) which is the number of spaces a week changes, and so do the accounts and the width and height. Accordingly, it would be ideal that values of the sheet could be modified easily, in order to create a new set of spaces as necessary.

    Positioning for each space is not crucial, only the height and width. If they were all on top of each other on the same page, it is a result for me. The main idea is to not have to draw them all manually, one by one.

    For me, this looks like a command, but I hope that some experienced there Scripting Guys can help me, because I want to become experienced as well.

    Thus, the TL; DR version:

    -Script to draw a series of text blocks.

    -Size of the text boxes should be defined by the values width and height of spreadsheet Excel.

    -Text blocks must have the account name as content (from account in the Excel worksheet names).

    -Accounts, width and height changes every week in the Excel sheet, so must be relatively easy to exchange all values.

    -Width values on the Excel worksheet columns. It would be ideal that the script could turn those numbers into multiples of columns as necessary.

    -Script (optionally) can take values directly from Excel sheet.

    -Script (option) can set the fill color for the gray text frame. (If it works as I think, I could just select all the resulting images of the text myself and put them all to grey at the same time... I'm not lazy as )

    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help in any way possible, even if it's just a little push in the right direction. This script will save 1 to 2 hours of boredom every week.

    Look like the perfect thing for the InDesign scripting.

    I copy content from Excel to a text file, for a format easily read in InDesign, and there will automatically be a TAB for each 'cell', just using copy and paste.

    Here is a piece of code, perhaps you could go on with (the addition of variable to change pages and the location on the page and other things).

    The readFileLineByLine function, can be easily reused with any function using "recall". You simply tell the function what you want to be executed for each line of text that reads:

    const COLUMN_WIDTH = 2; // Define the column width in inch
    
    var pageIndex;
    var textFramesExported; // not implemented.
    
    // Add a new dokument. Set myDoc to app.activeDocument to use
    // the current document instead of creating a new one.
    var myDoc = app.documents.add();
    
    // The doSomethingWithTextRow function is called upon for every line of text read.
    readFileLineByLine('c:\\test.txt', doSomethingWithTextRow);
    
    function doSomethingWithTextRow(row){
        // We expect the text line to be TAB separated (\t = TAB). We get that from just copying the contents of an
        // excel file into a text document.
        var cells = row.split('\t');
        var companyName = cells[0]; // The Company name in the first slot of the array
        var width = COLUMN_WIDTH * cells[1];
        var height = cells[2];
    
        // Create a new text frame for every row handled
        if (pageIndex==undefined) pageIndex = 0; // Count up when you have exported a number of texts, I leave this for you to do.
        var newTextFrame = myDoc.pages[pageIndex].textFrames.add();
        newTextFrame.contents = companyName;
    
        // The text frame is created in the top left corner.
        newTextFrame.geometricBounds = [0, 0, height + ' in', width + ' in']; // Top, Left, Bottom, Right 
    
        // You might want to move the textframes to other positions, keeping track of how many you put out per page.
        newTextFrame.move( [10, 10] );
    }

  • Blocks of text on the Pages of body 'Buried' after update of the Page Master

    I have a background full screen on my main page (on the left in this case) that integrates static graphics and borders for certain master pages. I use the borders/boxes for NOTE and END of text on some pages. Blocks of text on these master pages do not overlap. I added text blocks with my icons and the text of the note to these body Pages that I need them. All great so far.

    I decided to update the background chart on page master to change colors, etc.. All files are linked.

    Now, with funds master page updated, these pages where I added text blocks are 'buried' as on a sublayer. I checked that my Master Page background images are "sent back". I tried to wear my text boxes at the front on the Pages of my body, but they are still hidden. Interesting as the anchored frame (the icon), I attached to each NOTE or TIP point appears, but the text is not. Also, I can see and select the contours of the block... the text is hidden. If I drag the fame to another part of the document (for example, on top of another Master Page text frame sank, while the text is displayed.

    There is no image on the master page to the enclosed area. I wonder if that's what I need trouble. Just add a backstory (not attached flow)?

    Advice before I go and screw something else?

    It is what it is supposed to look like (1). Image (2) what I mean now.

    Thanks Arnis,

    It was the property of skin! How simple... I didn't have on this subject.

    Solved!

    To answer you question, however... my approach for the construction of this new model was:

    1. I created a graph from bottom (full page) to contain the image of brand and imported/positioned.
    2. I placed the header and a footer frame and filled with content.
    3. I placed the blocks of text with streams (as a single stream in this document).

    I'm not dropping blocks of text for the content of the body... except for these tips and remarks. I don't want to use a workflow for this because I never know where they'll pop up and I want to be able to (position) specifically on each page. Is this a good approach?

    Yes, I'm aware of the continuous line down the block of text NOTE you mentioned. Originally, I had all the text within the limits. When I have updated master, all offbeat pages (only in blocks of text body page with notes/tips). I repositioned and they flow very well now.

    Thank you very much for your help continues with it. Why these problems always pop nitpciky - up to date - not when things are slow!

  • by selecting all the blocks of text on all visible layers

    I want to select all the blocks of text on all visible layers.

    the script below will select all the blocks of text, even in groups, but if the layer with the text is invisible the script error. (target layer cannot be changed)

    If (app.documents.length > 0) {}

    var doc = app.activeDocument;

    var numTextFrames = 0;

    for (i = 0; i < doc.textFrames.length; i ++) {}

    textArtRange = doc.textFrames [i];

    textArtRange.selected = true;

    }

    }

    So I made this script to select blocks of text on only visible layers, but now missing text belonging to a group.

    var layerCount = activeDocument.layers.length;

    var docSelected = activeDocument.selection;

    for (i = 0; i < layerCount; i ++)

    {

    currentLayer = activeDocument.layers [i];

    If (currentLayer.visible == visible)

    {

    for (j = 0; j < currentLayer.textFrames.length; j ++) {}

    textArtRange = currentLayer.textFrames [j];

    textArtRange.selected = true;

    }

    }

    }

    can someone tell me why it is not some frames of text bound in a group when made this way and is it possible to get all managers of related texts selected on all visible layers?

    Thank you

    Try this:

    if (app.documents.length > 0 ) {

        for (  i = 0; i < doc.textFrames.length; i++ ) {

  • Second block of text during the first

    I have a doc who, for some reason, has a new block of text layered on top of one.  Typing goes into the new framework and I can't change the original text.  I can delete the new framework to obtain the actual text, but it happened on all pages of the doc.

    My question is, where it comes from?  I didn't add it, and it was not there a month ago.  I have rename the stream and the new framework is called flow of A, which is the default value and which should not exist anymore.

    What gives?

    Docs framework must have a stream called default 'A' - even if delete you or rename, the next time that FM open the doc it will create the flow of 'A' and plunk on the pages of body, always above any other flow, using a 'frame size to default text flow.

    In some docs to the unusual requirements (aviation manuals) I've resized the frame of 'A' on the master pages to be, say, 1 "x 1" and moved to the outside corner of right-to-left page and then created named needed additional streams. I then use flow one as a container for the markers that were later taken over by interpolations to dynamically fill created lists of markers or headers/footers body - the applicable page.

  • [JS] [CS3] Change the type of content in a block of text

    Hello

    an hour, maybe a little basic but I'm stuck on this...

    I need a textFrame to become a graphical object.

    The textFrame has no content.

    How can I change the contentType for this item?

    Thanks anticipately.

    It sounded like an interesting challenge, so I take a shot at him. I have created a new document and adds three blocks of text (uninhabited) on the first page. I have them the tag 'Image', 'legend' and 'credit' I've then exported as an extract, deleted the document and has opened a new. Then I placed the excerpt (so far, all manual summer - no script) and indeed, the snippet placed and executives have been added to the structure of the document and have been correctly labelled - the three tags were created automatically by the Act of placing the code snippet.

    So, we will duplicate this in a script. Even though I know exactly where the extract is, I'll ask the user to find. In this way, I eliminate the problem to get the path to the incorrect code snippet:

    var myDoc = app.documents.add();
    var myPage = myDoc.pages[0];
    var myPlacePoint = [myPage.marginPreferences.left, myPage.marginPreferences.top];
    var mySnippetFile = File.openDialog("Choose the snippet");
    if (mySnippetFile == null) { exit() }
    var mySnippet = myPage.place(mySnippetFile, myPlacePoint);
    

    And it worked. The excerpt is on the page, exactly where I wanted. So now we have to find the block of text with the tag 'image '. First of all, we need to study just is that mySnippet.

    OK, this is a picture of three stories. It's a little weird. Why isn't there a table of three blocks of text? I wonder what happens if two executives in the extract are threaded - but we'll deal with it later, after we would solve the immediate problem. The fact is that we know that the code snippet consists of three separate text blocks that are not threaded. So:

    for (var j = mySnippet.length - 1; j >= 0; j--) {
         var myTag = mySnippet[j].associatedXMLElement.markupTag.name;
         alert(myTag);
    }
    

    What gives me the three tags (and reminds us that when you tag a text block, you are also marking the history it holds. So:

    var myDoc = app.documents.add();
    var myPage = myDoc.pages[0];
    var myPlacePoint = [myPage.marginPreferences.left, myPage.marginPreferences.top];
    var mySnippetFile = File.openDialog("Choose the snippet");
    if (mySnippetFile == null) { exit() }
    var mySnippet = myPage.place(mySnippetFile, myPlacePoint);
    for (var j = mySnippet.length - 1; j >= 0; j--) {
         var myTag = mySnippet[j].associatedXMLElement.markupTag.name;
         if (myTag === "Image") {
              var myFrame = mySnippet[j].textContainers[0];
              myFrame.contentType = ContentType.graphicType;
              break;
         }
    }
