In Indesign cc 2014, you cannot search more on a selection or a text box. Only in the entire document. Strange.

You can solve this problem?

Something must be wrong on your end work as always for me here. Maybe try trashing preferences?

  • Search for page elements in a specific layer, and not in the entire document

    Hello

    could you please help me to modify this script, then it can look only to the elements of the page ("Date", "Time", "Version", 'Code of component Ops') in a single specific layer named "Legend" instead of all the layers?

    How to recover the password lost for windows 7?

    While your application may very well be authentic, it could also be interpreted as a surreptitious attempt to bypass Windows security.

    The only recommended method to retrieve an administrative password is to login as another administrator account and reset the password to a known unknown. If the administrative passwords could be easily overcome, there would not be much point in them.

    It is in the terms of use and the Code of conduct of the responses of these forums to request or provide assistance to the cracking a password. Do not forget that you agreed to these and review if necessary.

    You can view the policy of Microsoft about lost or forgotten passwords (KB189126) for more information on what resources are available to you.

    The only advice I can offer you is either log - on another user with administrator privileges and reset your password to a new, use the password reset disk that you created when you set up your account, start guessing what the password could possibly be or reinstall Windows by default.

    can you help me?

    Mike

    This happens usually when the video file has
    compatibility problems with Movie Maker.

    You can try the following steps but more
    probably, you will need to convert the file to the
    WMV format to make it compatible.

    Reach... Tools / Options / Compatibility tab and
    left click Restore values by default all the button / OK

    No improvement? Try to convert it to WMV.

    There are many converters available on the net... some
    free... some detail.

    The following freeware converters are a few examples:

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    (1) Sothink Free Video Converter
    http://www.Sothinkmedia.com/video-converter/
    (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

    You will need to unzip the file... or you could just drag
    the Setup.exe from the file out of the folder and drop it on your
    desktop and install from there.

    Once installed... Open Sothink and go to... Add the files button...
    Find and select the clips you want to convert.

    Next... in the encoding settings... Choose... Video credits.
    WMV - Windows Media Video (*.wmv).

    Choose an output folder and on the left, click on the button convert.

    You can experiment with other settings later but
    This should help you get started.

    (2) format Factory (freeware)
    http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
    (the 'direct link' is faster)
    (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup270.zip<>
    (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
    ('all' boxes on the last screen)
    (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

    First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
    Drag FFSetup270.exe out of the folder
    and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

    Next, after the download and installation of Format
    Factory... you can open the program and
    left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
    "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
    (this is where you find your files after they)
    are converted)

    Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...

    Select "all to WMV" / OK...

    Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

    That should do it...

    Good luck...

  • Cannot select items Master Page - but only on the last Page of my Document

    I'm working on a magazine layout, which has the page number and month located downstairs outside the corner of each page (pretty standard). Of course, I have this set up on the master spread. So far whenever I have to remove these items on a page of my document I was able to Ctrl + Shift + click and delete. But for some reason any on the last page (on the back) I can't click little matter what I try. I'm still able to select on other pages, and I have confirmed that the layers are not locked. Any ideas why this is only a specific page that gives me any questions?

    (Just to be sure, that I save my document, close and restart the program.) The problem persisted unfortunately.)

    and I confirmed that the layers are not locked.

    Check that the master page element is not set to prevent substitute also. Go to the main spread and select the folio of problem, choose Pages > Master Pages... and make sure that allow point Master overrides on selection is checked. MP articles that are protected do not have the framework dotted on the pages when show the contours of the block is selected.

    And make sure that you have not inadvertently duplicated the folio on the page or master page.

  • You can add comment or a new external data text box?

    Is it possible to auto add a visible comment to PDF acrobat using file delimited by tabs? For example, I have a list of document .txt:

    Apple $ 12.99

    Kiwi $ 13.99

    banana $8.99

    is it possible for acrobat to find all words in pdf format containing 'Apple' and add a comment next to $12.99?

    Thank you very much!

    It is possible, but would require a JavaScript programming.

  • Cannot print more than two pages

    Hello here

    I have a rather strange problem today: one of my users cannot print more than two pages...

    Regardless of the printer, the application or document, this specific user will receive the first two pages printed on the right, then a windows error (cannot print, the likely reason is a failure of the network, not enough memory, etc.)

    Current config is

    -User logged on the Witch of Windows 2008R2 Server Citrix XenApp 6.5 (published desktop).

    -Print server Windows 2008R2 with something like 150 shared printers

    I tried with other printers and file formats, on separate servers, it's always the same.

    Of course, everything works perfectly fine for other users...

    I'm not sure if any parameter can block printing up to two pages only, or anything else. Before you delete and recreate the user profile, as everyone has an idea?

  • Cannot print more than 1 page of the MSWord file

    I have a 4540 of HP ProBook running Windows 7 connected to one just installed HP OfficeJet Pro 8620. I try to print a file 2.3 Mb Word (190 pp). If I select 'Print current Page', it prints the current page. But if I try to print more than one page (the entire document or just a range 2 - pg), it does not print. Print journal dialog box indicates that the print job is going to 'pending' of 'printing' and then 'print '. While it's says 'printing', my printer shows the window of dialogue «print report...» "But in the end, nothing prints! My file manager also shows, this file is 2.3 Mb, but the newspaper printer indicates that the "printed" file 21.3 MB balloons.

    Hi Yann - Thanks for your reply. When I followed the suggested correction asked by sjtracey responded on January 24, 2010, there is no option on the device settings tab to turn off Mopier Mode settings or storage of the work. However, the tab advanced, I changed the printing Print setting after the last page coils (previously configured to print immediately) and it works now. Thanks again.

  • How to make a text box appear in a PDF file in InDesign CC when the cursor rolls over another area of text?

    I'm doing a text box appears in a PDF document in InDesign when the cursor of the user hovers over an another textbox, and I want it to disappear when the cursor moves off the coast of the first text box. I tried the following with adjustment of various, and it does everything just for me.

    Display a different button on turnover

    You can create a hotspot in which clicking or mousing over an object contains another object. To do this, create two buttons, hide one of the buttons and use the show/hide button action to show and hide the button target.

    • Create an object to use as the "source" button. In the buttons Panel, click the icon of the object to convert to A button.

    • Place the image you want to use as the button target and convert it to a button.

    • Select the target image and select hidden until this that triggered at the bottom of the Panel buttons.

      The image must be hidden in the exported document that can be displayed when the "source" button is clicked or wriggle on.

    • Click the source button and create two different actions, one for show the image target and target the other to hide the image.

      If you want the image to appear when the mouse is over the button source, use events on Roll Over and On Roll Off. If you want the image to appear when you click on the source button and disappear when you release, use events on a click and release. In both cases, use the show/hide action buttons to show or hide the target button. See the interactive buttons.

    • Use the Preview Panel to test the buttons.

    Should work...  On your last point (not 12?) I get the feeling that you have exported your doc as Adobe PDF (Print)? You must instead use (Interactive) Adobe PDF...

  • Text in a text box disappears when you click on outside the text box

    I work on a Macbook Pro in 10.7 Lion.  I use Adobe Acrobat X Pro.

    I create a text and type the words in the text box.  As soon as I click outside of the text box, the text in the text box disappears.  The text box is still there.  As soon as I click inside the text box text is displayed again.  I confirmed that the text is black.

    I've seen several posts on the same problem but none of the solutions I've seen work.

    It's so frustrating to think I am giving up Adobe Acrobat X Pro and using a free PDF program using Windows 7 in Parallels on my Macbook for editing.  Given how much cost Acrobat X Pro, I'm pretty fed up with Adobe in general.

    I followed a link to a solution for editing the registry in Windows, but I don't know how to do this on a Mac.  In addition, it is simply absurd that Acrobat X Pro is totally useless for a simple PDF document editing.  This is not a form.  It is a PDF document with any of the other fields.  I just want to add text.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Well, there are a lot of things here. Part of the confusion is the different terms that are used, and where you posted. Although you have confirmed that you do not work on a form, you DID post on the forum of forms, so it is not surprising that you have lots of advice on the forms.

    I think I discovered something by looking at your file and experimentation. You add text, probably the only way you've found to this day. It's something rather old and creaky called "typewriter tool", who use not as much today. However, in Acrobat X, it is easy to find under "adding or editing text box. What you add is not like a regular text on the page, it's really a sort of commentary.

    There are many more types of comments comment, including much more powerful tools for adding text tab. You may find you prefer these, but let's look at the problem of the typewriter.

    Your problem is that your comments are opaque, less than 1%. It is slightly transparent, and so they are invisible. How has it happened? Don't know, but I have a guess. Is not serious, I have a fix. The problem is that this thing of opacity is a real parameter but without tools for setting it. Now it is defined, we must get rid of him somehow.

    1. you say, I think, that you have a computer where all is well. On this computer, do a text box to write. Save the PDF and get to the problem computer.

    2. open the good PDF on the problem computer.

    3. Select the comment Look for the one that you added in the list of comments.

    4. double-click the entry in the list of comments and make sure that it selects the right one. It takes the box of typewriter.

    5. right click on the entry in the list of comments, and choose Properties.

    6. click on "Make default properties", and then click OK.

    If all goes well, the right setting (100% opacity) now applies to all mailboxes in the future typewriter.
