Help on resizing text boxes and the General image techniques

Using CS2.

I have two fundamental questions.  We have to do to get the best images to vector (with text) that I can for placement in InDesign documents.  The other relates to the specificity of work with text in FW boxes.

The easiest way for me to produce vector images has been using PowerPoint.  I do all the graphic work, and then save it as a gif file.  I don't and then cropping in a graphic (Irfanview, PS) tool insert or place the image.  As long as there is no resizing, things work fine.  I do not know how things like IPR are controlled using this technique but I'm assuming that would be also with the graphical tool.  I know that Irfanview allows the CIO to clarify when resizing.

The problem starts to appear when the gif object is resized.  Things are distorted and I lose the freshness of the image content.  I'm certainly not an expert on the graphics but I thought either, there is no resizing (just a cropping) or 2) to work in a tool such as FW where (I guess) so I need to make 1) actual size charts PP size of the final image placed there are better abilities to resize the vector images.  My feeling (again, not an expert) is that converts the process I use for vector graphics in PP to a bitmap image in the gif and resizing does not work as well for bitmap images with respect to vector objects.  Don't I have that right?

Go to question 2:

Can the text boxes be resized in FW without distorting the text?  Their size is visible when initially drasing them?  Maybe spoiled by PowerPoint, I like to define the width of the vector objects (e.g. rectangle) and the width of the text it will fill at the same size.  (I know that PP has the opportunity to put borders on text boxes, but when you work in FW I need to work with 2 objects, the rectangle and the text box).  I have a wide 81px rectangle.  Can I set a text box to 81px wide without distorting the text?

I tend to want to control the dimensions of the real object so I can get good spacial alignment.  For example, I tend to set the width of a text to an odd number of px object so that any line that comes out of the text object coincide well with the text.  I must admit that it was perhaps time for me to use a different technique in FW (for example an alignment more than objects multiple vs knowing dimensions and locations seting).  My approach does need improvement?

Thanks for the tips

As I wean out of PP I started watching FW and Illustrator (I have both).  I did a logo or two in FW and have used it to build simple web graphics (e.g. buttons, menus).  It can, I believe, be a little more complicated than what I need in this case.

Given that the PP is not a graphics program, its drawing capabilities are very limited. As a result, all graphics applications will have many more features that you are used to see and more that you need for a project.

I did a little experiment with Illustrator and my first impression is that it will work better for me for this job.  It seems a little more intuitive.

Is a general rule to use FW for graphics for the web and Illustrator of what I was doing in PP?

Your suggested orientation is good. Also note that if you make a logo or a vector graphic in Illustrator (saved as .ai format), you can import into Fireworks and work with it as a vector object it. FW can import and use, simply create no, files and .ai objects.

FW has some vector tools, they are hidden under window > others > Path. Because the FW is intended to produce Web graphics, it is a hybrid, capable of vector and image/photo editing application. Given that she has some of both, it is not necessarily what is Illustrator, nor all that Photoshop has. It has most of the features of the two programs, as long as the feature is useful for a Web graphics designer. For pure photo retouching Photoshop has the edge; for pure illustration, Illustrator has the edge. Both Photoshop and Illustrator supports profiles of colors and other important features for printing which is not the fireworks. All are good programs, but there are reasons to prefer one over the other according to the type of graphics, you need to create or work with and what is your intended use of the work. (But none of them will be greater than PowerPoint!)

I'm not sure I can unravel the mystery with the resizing of text box.  I suspect theres an option is selected.  Knowing that it's possible, it's enough for me to do some homework.

Maybe... don't think that text boxes at all. You have text objects. The object has a bounding box which is determined by the underlying definition of the police, but he is not in an text box. (Sometimes swooshs goes beyond area of definition of a character in the police, but that's another question). The bounding box of the text object is similar to the of a circle or a star or an irregular shape bounding box. There is a reference to the dimensions box, but the text is not inside some other independent container.

To resize it, select the text object and change the font size using the Properties palette or using the tool of the ladder hanging out on a corner of the hierarchy (different from the bounding box, and I don't know why, sorry).

I think that with Illustrator, you can set text (or other) boxes and fill them with text. * Research * Oh... Like these: http://school.tatoland.com/illustrator/aitype.html

  • text box and the size of the selection list

    I text boxes and select the entry in the form.

    I have the width of the box text = 200px html property and select entry have CSS style width 200px.

    It shows the same width at design time, but the much shorter run-time text box, and then select list.

    Are there assets that I can configure to adjust their width to the same to make the shape as more enjoyable?

    Your information and help is much appreciated,

    Yes, experiment, but use a browser view, not DW for final verification.

    You can also experiment using Firefox addon "Firebug".

  • IPhone 6plus - text box to the lock screen

    Recently, I noticed that my lock screen got a new text box to enter my security PIN. I also see an OK button next to the text box to the lock screen that I did not see after the last update of OS. I did no upgrade of the OS recently and the current version is to 9.3.1 (13E238) (model: MGA82HN / A).

    Is this something normal? I remember that this text box came after I tried to install Citrix Mobile Workstyle to configure my mailbox in the office. Is this a problem? What should I do to restore it to normal screen or Original (without text box and the OK button).

    I just updated my indesign to CC of CS5. One thing I notice which is annoying is some text boxes and images go live. For example, if you close a text box in CS5 you close the box you see reformat the text to set the new size. In CC, the text does not reformat until you are done change the size of the box. It's the same for the images when resizing or rotation re. You don't know what you have until its finished. If you are a little guess instead of see what you're doing while. Is there a way to change this, or does anyone else have this problem. Maybe it's just what does CC. But I'm not a fan... Can anyone help?

    Hello

    I was working on a pdf file in Acrobat 8.1.4 Standard and I made the text boxes and legends throughout this document, but recently it has begun to overwrite the text. When I open another pdf file and start making notes, there is no problem.

    I can't upload a sample of this document because it is a Government document and there are permissions, but like I said I did my annotations and recently he started to arrive.

    Help, please.

    Thanks in advance.

    I found this on my own. It seems that the embeded font was corruptted so I just use a different font for text boxes and all is good.

  • Text box and help load

    I have a discoloration of film during the main part of my FLA site on click of a button. I want that movie to display the text of dinamic loaded from a TXT file.

    In the main part of my site all content is loaded into the text boxes using a loadVar however I need to find a code that will load the Var in the TXT boxes in the main part of my site and the text boxes in the film melted on top of my main site.

    This is the code I use for loadVar in main movie: loadVariablesNum (' text files/Home Page.txt, 0);

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    incorporate your policy if your textfield will fade (or on) and assign a variable to your textfield that corresponds to the HomePage.txt variable. If your textfield isn't on the chronology of _level0 precede you the variable name of your textfield with _level0.

  • In Illustrator, I've created a text box and cannot change the font color of black.

    In Illustrator, I've created a text box and cannot change the font color of black. I tried changing each CMYK percentage individually, but it stays black. I have not had this before. What is going on?

    akayshay,

    If I (put) understand, you can simply create a region Type, and then select with the normal (black) selection tool, then set the fill color to none in the Toolbox, and then click Add a new fill in the appearance palette and with the selected fill (yet) set your colour (ing) desired.

  • Add a picture to the text in the text box to the location of the cursor through Actionscript and control its reference level

    If I want to add pictures to the location of the cursor in the text box, I need to use EditManager insertInlineGraphic. But insertInlineGraphic offers no parameter to control how an image is placed in the text, such as baselineShift.
    While InlineGraphicElement allows me to well control on image added how is placed in the text through properties such as baselineShift, but then there is no way to add this InlineGraphicElement object newly created as the location of the cursor in the text box!
    So, how do you overcome this limitation? How can I add an image to the text in the text box to the location of the cursor through Actionscript and control its reference level?

    Post edited by: DilipShah

    After you add the ILG, you can find the ILG element by textFlow.findLeaf (cursor location) as InlineGraphicElement and then change its attributes. Or you can just enjoy applyLeafFormat().

    FindLeaf is an important function for navigation in the TLF.

  • Adobe Acrobat Form - button, text box and tick value math

    Hello, I need help with these:

    I have a button, text field, and the box.

    I want the button to increase the value of text by 8 every time on it, but only up to 44. So if his 37-44, whenever you click the button, it will change to 44, not more.

    The checkbox when checked, increases the value of text by 2 (one-timer before form reset, should not interfere with the manual rewrite future box or button clicks).

    If the checkbox is not possible, at least the 0-44 button is important. So far, I have:

    var oFld = this.getField ("Spell");

    If (IsNaN (oFld.value))

    oFld.value = 0;

    on the other

    oFld.value += 8;

    Thank you!

    Just add at the end of your code:

    If (oFld.value > 44) oFld.value = 44;
