• Smart txt reflow - how do you work with several text boxes?

  Hello

  I create ID cards to work, for 650 employees. I had used the reflow of text before smart on other jobs and I don't foresee any problems with its use for this project. To explain my problem:

  I'm doing a template with a trial of ten employees file. The design on each card, it is a name and a unique ID to be used. The name is 18pt and code 10pt.

  On my main page, I have a block of text for the name and a text block for the employee ID. The text blocks are as wide as the work plan but only high enough to adapt to a single name by image to the relevant point size.

  On the first page of my document, I select 'place' and then select the text file with all the names, I get the change of cursor in the image of the text, I hold SHIFT for the debit option and click on my name text box. InDesign automatically creates 9 new pages, and I now have a 10 page document. So far, perfect.

  I select "place" again, choose the employee code text file, click on my block of text in code used on the first page, and repeat the same process as above.

  My problem starts - I want codes for the employee to just flow through ten pages, as the names, but when I place the codes file and select the text on the first page, inDesign creates 10 new pages after the tenth page. So I find myself with 20 pages - the first ten pages with names and nothing in the code text boxes and the last ten pages with the codes but nothing in the name text boxes.

  I am at a loss as to why he does this. I was playing with the settings in the preferences, but nothing changes. I tried to select both the two text files and import at the same time.

  How do you work with several text boxes and several import of text file on a doicument? There are no extra spaces or something like that in my text files.

  I really don't want to have to link all text blocks - that will forever, but right now it's the only way I can get it to do what I want.

  Also, is there anyway to specify the font and the size of the text is important as? Because it keeps import as minion pro, even if the text boxes on the master are set to the correct font and size. Not a big deal though.

  Help, please! Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

  Ah, I think I misunderstood your original post and thought you wanted to do 10 badges per page. If it's only one, you need only a set of images. Same procedure for setting in place, but you have no need to screw anything or use the step and repaet to make copies.

  Place the file name in the frames of name and ID will add pages and then return to the first page and place the numbers. Just don't forget to put the bad slider in the space where the framework and to stay away from the guides (if you click on a guide, ID will ignore masters executives) and hold down the SHIFT key when you click.

• Link several text boxes to the same variable

  I make labels in Illustrator and want to automate the process somewhat by using variables. I have places date 4 on labels and would rather just change a variable 4.

  Is it possible to create 1 variable and link several text boxes to this variable?

  I tried selecting the boxes and pressing "making dynamic text." This creates several variables that appear to be linked – if I change the name of one, the name of any changes to variables.

  However, if I save variable library and try to change the value of the variable, I get a "the incoming variable library is invalid" error when I try to load it back in. This happens if each variable is bound to a single text box.

  Any ideas on how to make this work?

  Nope. You will need four variables, unless the design lends itself to a direct effect, such as the transformation of the copies. The symbols are not an answer: a text object linked as a variable cannot be stored as a symbol and still working its variable behavior.

• How do you change the font in several text boxes?

  I just started using illustrator and I can't understand it.  Maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

  I made a bunch of text boxes using the text tool.  Is there a way I can link the boxes and easily change the font?

  Thank you

  Justin

  No need to link them. Select all, and then change the font.

  As with any other object, many text objects can be selected by shift-click or drag with the rectangle Selection tool. If you make a habit of placing all the text on a dedicated layer, you can lock the other layers and just select all (Cmd + A Mac / Win Ctrl + A).

• How to convert several text boxes to the checkboxes

  Nice day

  in the last months, we are working on Adobe Acrobat DC and we have the following problem when we create pdf forms.

  It is quite common for us to convert a Word format in PDF form. Then, we select 'Prepare form' in Adobe DC to insert/change/remove the created fields (text boxes, check boxes, etc.). During this conversion, there are fields that must be boxes instead of text boxes. In order to proceed, we all have remove them and then re-create them which takes a lot of time.

  Is there a feature that allows you to select several fields and move them from one type to another (for example, convert all text in checkboxes areas)?

  Concerning

  -C' is not correct. You can select specific fields to convert from a list or based on their name, the field type and the page.

  -Yes, it is compatible with all versions of Acrobat (probably not until version 7, though).

  -The rest exactly the same size.

• Drop-down list complicated, making several text boxes

  Hello everyone. I searched high and low for something to talk about exactly how to do what I want - but I'm not finding anything that is quite right. Anyway, I want a drop down (with potentially hundreds of choice - I'd like to limit the number, but there is really no way...) where someone can choose their selection, then, after this election, several other text fields are filled with the corresponding information. I would like to have a file of database with the drop-down list of choices, then define somehow this on the ground and then what information goes into the next text box. This way you can get something from the menu drop down and the other boxes get filled correctly. Is this possible?

  Hi Joel, I think, if the information does not change much then your best bet is to stay in shape, as independent as possible, is to have the information contained in the form.  There are a number of connectivity problems that your users could suffer with an external data source.  I do not expect performance to be a problem, I developed forms with thousands of selections in a drop down, you can find the example I did a drop-down list of useful research in the Adobe Cookbook section, http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Drop_Down_List_Control_with_auto_complete__Searcha-18402.h tml, if your data contains a hierarchy then there are a number of examples around dependent dropdown lists to try , like this one http://thelivecycle.blogspot.com.au/2011/01/multi-level-dropdown-list.html. I'm glad you found my comments useful, cordially. Bruce

• Synchronization of several text boxes in a single Indesign file

  In theory, this problem seems simple enough and there should be a simple way to accomplish my task, but every search I tried to sync text explains only how to thread text boxes.

  What I do is a model that is 4UP on the presentation page. Currently, whenever I make changes to my text, I copy several times change to reflect the change of each instance of my layout on the page.

  I want to do is to synchronize all my text boxes so that changes or updates will be automatically reflected in every instance of the layout. In the past I've accomplished this in Illustrator using symbols and instances of that symbol, but I still have to find a way simlar in Indesign.

  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  Had stumbled SEO crossed, I understood that I needed a separate reference for each paragraph in the text box. It worked pretty well, but when change original references sources, I found the cross reference would break then of time I've updated and re-related each reference in each text box, he ended up taking more time than just to copy the original text 3 times box. I guess I'm looking for more of a dynamic solution.

  Thanks for the help!

  Hi, Zach:

  Thanks for the comments. You should not repeat or update several references changed in a document individually.

  I did a test on my suggestion, because x - Ref are not supposed to break completely when the context of the source is changed. I saw that I didn't warn you about deleting the cross-reference marker (AKA 'Anchor Text'); When you create a cross-reference to the material of origin, in the same or different documents, InDesign inserts a marker for reference at the beginning of the source paragraph. If it is not visible, select Type > show hidden characters. It looks like a colon (:)) in the indicator of the layer color.

  NOTE: InDesign uses the term 'Destination' to describe subsection which shoots a reference in the position of the cursor when you insert a cross-reference, and he uses the term 'Source' to describe the paragraph from destination that is displayed at the location where the cross-reference is being inserted. This usage derives from terms used for InDesign hyperlinks, where it's raining logical. Depending on your experience pre-InDesign with references in longhand, typewritten, or other applications on the computer, you can find, as I do, contrary to intuition. I think of 'source', as what you shoot in 'destination', as the place where you view what is pulled and "reference" the thing that is pulled in. I also use the term "source document" to describe the document that contains the source of the reference, and I use the term 'document container"to describe the document that contains the reference (the stuff that are fired).

  Thus, when you change the material source of a cross reference in the source document, if you take care of not to delete the cross-reference markers/text anchors created at the beginning of the paragraphs of source, the reference in links hyperlinks/cross-references Panel of the document container to display a triangle of yellow warning for each source of change and you can update in a single action.

  Updating changed references may also be confusing: If no modified references (yellow triangle) are selected in the hyperlinks / Panel cross references are selected (highlighted), you use the update references at the bottom of the hyperlinks button / references Panel, or update hyperlinks reference point / wheel of the panel menu references , EVERYTHING changed references are updated. However, if one or more references in the Panel are selected, the update button or menu item updates only the selected references.

  See if this helps you simplify your operations.

  HTH

  Kind regards

  Peter

• Spacing between several text boxes waiting for spacing

  Hello, I think I'm more or less on track with how I want to expose this design, but I have a question about how the text boxes are spaced of vertically. Here is my document:

  

  I want the text to wrap the png of I inserted the floor plan. When the text gets close to the edge of the png, of course the text continues on the next line. To achieve this effect (not sure if it was the most effective method), I've created a new text box to create a new path by clicking on the Red more framed at the end of the box so that the text continues. Clearly, a novice here.

  My concern is the spacing between each box until the attack of the full text. My attack is set to 26 pt, but I spaced manually areas of text from second and third to match the General attack.

  If I had to change the line spacing, I have to manually set the spacing again box.

  Is - that the route right/only to go for what I want to achieve? Thanks in advance.

  I have to correct myself - I tried the text string with a PNG image transparent, and it did not work.  But do it the second way of drawing or reshaping the area of your image is in.

• Change size of text box without changing the type...

  Hello

  Hope this finds you well.

  What is the right way to resize a text box? I read that you are supposed to choose the type, and then hold down the command key, and then change the size. However, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Any thoughts?

  I appreciate your time and look forward to hearing back from you soon.

  If you want to change the size as well as the box, use the key command key. If you just need to change the dimensions of the bounding box, while leaving the type of the same size (which causes reflow), just hover over a corner and click drag to resize.

• Make changes to all text boxes

  I have a document of 30 pages, and each page has two text boxes with

  different text inside each box.

  If I change the size of the text boxes on the first page, can I do so all the text boxes on each page change the same way without slipping manually do everything to match?

  99% of the time that I do NOT recommend the use of main text blocks. Most of the time good setting the margins and columns makes it unnecessary and more an obstacle than a help. Something like that, well, Yes, it's another story.

• Help to change all the text boxes in a book

  I'm new in Indesign CS4.  I want to format book for two sizes of printed book.  When I change the predefined attributes of Document it does not apply to the size of the text boxes.  How can we re - format all the dimensions of the text box at the same time?  The book is 600 pages - too many to go through and resize each page separately.  Thank you!!!

  If text blocks were originally from the master page and you have done nothing more text to throw in, you can change the frameworks of masters and the images on the pages will change also, but if you have changed the framework anyway after flowing text, everything you have changed now irreversible of the master.

  A second option is if the blocks of text are in contact with margin guides all around, go to the Layout > setting layout... and turn it on until you change the setting statement. Managers will adjust to the new margins.
