    gotoAndStop for a button

    I need my button to stick in its DOWN state on release (and also to be disabled, if poss). Is this possible with a button, or am I going to need to use a movie clip instead? If it is possible, how do I reference the button from within the button (I believe "this" doesn't work on buttons)...

    Browser detection

    Thank you! That seems to do the trick. I don't have multiple browser versions on hand to test it, but it goes to the correct pages for Netscape and for IE6, which is the main aim. Thanks for the help.

    Browser detection

    I need to do the following browser detection: if (browser = anything other than IE or IE < version 4) { send to page X.html } else { send to page Y.html } What's the easiest way to do this (if there is an easy way)?

    Acrobat 6.0.1 - updates available

    If you have Acrobat 6, do a check for updates (under the Help menu). Adobe has released a patch which fixes a whole bunch of bugs (although they don't actually say what it fixes!). One thing that's fixed is links now work properly between documents. Also the old way of setting tab order has...

    copying to word

    It's possible that the text is not actually text, for example, it's been scanned in as an image or it's been converted to paths before being run out. If either of these is the case then you wouldn't be able to select the text because it's not actually text, regardless of whether there are any...

    back to top

    You put an anchor at the top of the page (before your heading, for example), e.g. <a name=&quot;top&quot;> Then, where you want the <b>Back to top</b> link, you put a link to the anchor, e.g. <a href=&quot;#top&quot;>Back to top</a>

    How to set custom page magnification 6.0

    Essentially, you need to create destinations first. Then use the Custom Link option on the link dialogue box to add a Go to page in this document, Use a named destination link. It is more time-consuming, yes. However, I think the idea behind it is that it will create something that's more stable...

    Can I copy bookmarks to another pdf file ???

    As far as I know, you can't change them. They appear differently in Acrobat (and Reader) 5, which may be what you have seen. In those it's just a plain white (or grey if selected) page icon. The new Acrobat logo ones are rather over-the-top, aren't they? It would be great if it were possible to...

    Can I copy bookmarks to another pdf file ???

    Could you provide more information? Is the other file completely different? Or is it just an updated version of the original? If the latter, then you can open the original and use Replace Pages (under Document menu, then Pages) and you're bookmarks will remain linking to the same places. You...

    Saving from version 6 for editing with version 4

    Use PDF Optimizer (found under the Advanced menu). Make sure that you untick any options that you don't want (for example, if you don't untick the option it will delete any unused named destinations, which can cause problems if you have other documetns using the destinations you've created in...

    Open Bookmark Tab automatically

    It's actually really simple. File>Document Properties>Initial View. Under Document Options, from the Show drop-down menu, select Bookmarks Panel and Page. (Make any other selections you want to, such as setting it to always open at 100% magnification.) Click OK. Save your file. When it's...

    File Program To Convert Pdf to Doc???

    Acrobat 6 will actually do this. However, for the converting PDF to .doc, how well it does so depends on the content. It doesn't do very well with complex layouts and is probably more suited to plain text. Personally, we still do pretty much all of it manually - i.e. copy and paste bits of text...

    QuarkXpress Newbie

    Quark 6 (the newest version) apparently allows multiple undos (I haven't upgraded yet, so don't know how multiple). I don't know of any Xtensions that do this.

    Text Alignment Question for Acrobat 6

    I haven't found any way to do this in Acrobat 6. If I have to do something like that, I open it up in Acrobat 5 and do it there! (It's strange that they took that function away in the new version.)

    Getting Qualifications

    Where are you based? I'm doing a Postgraduate Diploma in Software Development with the Open University (a British institution - but one that offers many of it's courses internationally). They also do undergraduate degrees in computing. It's quite expensive though, and will take a long time to...

    JavaScript for setting smoothing

    Is it possible to set an open document (or other) JavaScript that will set the user's display preferences to ensure that Smooth Text, Smooth Line Art and Smooth Images are switched on? (The file will be viewed consistently in Acrobat Reader 5)

    Editing PDF Documents

    horqua: What I do is create the line or block of text in Word - with the rest of the page blank - and run it out to PDF. I then use the Object Select tool to copy that bit of text from that PDF and paste it into the one where I want it to go (then move it to the right place on the page). We...

    imbeded text boxes

    You can cut and paste the small text boxes, using the Content tool (which will move it from one place in the text to another place in the text) and you can manipulate them using the Item tool (e.g. change it's shape, etc.) - this tool will also allow you to copy it and then paste it out of the...

    Blue Grid Lines in Acrobat Approval

    If it's the same as the full Acrobat (which I'd guess it would be) the shortcut key is Ctrl + U (toggles the guidelines on and off).

    PDF settings tab has disappeared

    I installed Photoshop 7 after Acrobat 5 and nothing went wrong. I'd suggest reinstalling Acrobat and seeing if that fixes it. Otherwise... dunno!
