I have a question about adobe acrobat reader.
So, when I open any PDF file, I used to click the right or left arrow to jump between pages.
Recently though I am unable to do this because, once the PDF file is opened, a "Cursor" is already there, and so when I click the right or left arrows, the Cursor moves between letters.
I do not know how to get red of this Cursor. It just there.
Is there a way to get rid of it??
Go to 'Edit' -> 'Preferences' -> 'Accessibility' -> Under 'Other Accessibility Options', there is a checkbox 'Always display the keyboard selection cursor'. Un-check this and you are good to go.

Does anyone know if the aria authoring web page is keyboard accessible(https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices-1.1/) ? Looking for keyboard interaction assistance to move focus between the left and right pane.
It'd be nice if browsers took advantage of landmarks so that keyboard users would benefit. Currently, only screen reader users benefit from them. Most applications on a PC allow the F6 key to navigate to different areas. Try it in Word, Excel, browsers, whatever desktop apps. It even sort of works on the authoring practice page, but not completely (at least not in firefox).
We had to implement our own landmarks dialog that we invoked with Ctrl+F6 (so it'd be similar to F6) and we'd query the page for landmark roles and display them in a dialog to allow you to quickly jump to a section of the page.
Skip links are about as close as you can get now, but even that wouldn't help on a page like the authoring practice. If I had tabbed through half the links in the left nav panel and then decided I wanted to move the main contents in the right panel, a skip link wouldn't help. I'd have to navigate back to the skip link in order to jump to the main section. It'd be nice to hit a key while I was in the middle of the left nav to jump me to the right side.
You could use the accesskey attribute to allow a shortkey to move between the two, but those are hard to discover. JAWS will tell you about the accesskey but NVDA and VoiceOver will not. If you don't have any indication on the screen that there's a shortcut/accesskey, then how will people know it's there. Once they know about it, it's great. For example, wikipedia has an accesskey='f' on the search field, but you might not know that. Once you do know it, it's great to be in the middle of a wiki article and hit alt+shift+f (on firefox and chrome) or alt+f (internet explorer) to quickly jump to the search field.
You could do the same with a left panel / right panel configuration if you had an accesskey on an object in the left panel and a different accesskey on an object in the right panel. Just make sure users know about it.

Can you make hovered state in Firebug "sticky?"

Closed 9 years ago.
I'm making a custom CSS theme for Facebook and I'm trying to view the CSS code for the little pop-up that happens when you hover your cursor over someones profile picture. I'm using Firebug to view the CSS code. It's viewable, but I cannot view the CSS code fully, because once I take my cursor off the profile picture, the pop-up disappears, then Firebug doesn't display the CSS code used for it. So is there a way to freeze open the JS so when I take my cursor off it doesn't go away? Or is there anyway to freeze the pop-up open?
Using Google Chrome:
Go to Facebook
Press F12 to open Chrome Developer Tools
Go to the Sources tab (helper screenshot below):
After having clicked on the Sources tab described previously, make sure you DON'T click anywhere on the page. Go hover over a profile picture, and while the pop-up is open, hit F8 and move the mouse a little bit (like 1 pixel).
The page should now be frozen. You can go to the Elements tab, press CTRL+F and search for some text that's inside the pop-up. This way, you will see the corresponding HTML and you will be able to view without constraints the CSS.
If you want to resume, you can go back to the Sources tab, and hit the resume button on the right.
In the address bar of the browser navigation tab, it shows the absolute path of the file, but it is so long that it gets truncated and I can't read the exact file that I'm working on! Is there any way to fix this?
Yeah, I got it... just hover your mouse over the truncated field for a couple seconds and a tooltip will pop up with the full address. I was just frantically clicking on it like an impatient moron and it was canceling the scheduled tooltip display.
I'm not sure what a "browser navigation tab" is. In Dreamweaver CS5 on Windows, the full url is displayed in the title bar of the document. When documents are maximized a tab will display the file name, and the full file url will display in the title bar on the right hand side. This full url gets truncated when there are too many documents open. The truncation is done from the left so you may lose some of the folders, but you should still see the file name. If this is the case, then a quick solution is to close some documents. Or Perhaps don't nest your files so deeply, or don't have really long file/folder names.
Another option is an extension that I wrote a while ago called Document Path Toolbar: http://communitymx.com/abstract.cfm?cid=A01CEAEA3CA40B36 The extension adds a toolbar that has a text field that displays the full url to the local file. It has an option that allows you to updated the width of the text field if you have longer file paths (I think that such modifications requires a restart of Dreamweaver). It is commercial but not much. As I no longer contribute to CommunityMX, I won't receive anything for a purchase should you decide it is something that you could benefit from.
Why is there no way to show the bookmark panel in Adobe Reader 9?
Looked thru all the menus/properties/preferences.
There is no option to select Bookmarks under
View >> Navigation panels >> (nothing for bookmarks here)
Using Winnovative pdfConverter and trying to convert html code into reports.
Does adobe reader require there to be Bookmarks in the document for the panel to be an option?
Or is this seem feature I need to pay for from adobe?
Yes unfortunately there isn't any option of adding bookmarks in Adobe Reader but there's a way around this. All you have to do is check the first option in Edit -> Preferences -> Documents.
Here's a complete article on how to do just that:
http://www.programmerfish.com/how-to-add-bookmark-in-pdf-adobe-acrobat-reader/
I am providing an answer related to Adobe Reader X (I do not have Adobe Reader 9 to test it). It might be relevant.
There are two options for showing the Bookmarks panel:
Right click on the leftmost sidebar.
You should see the bookmark icon and activate it. If it's not showing, then there are no bookmarks in the document.
I just checked it with two pdfs, one with bookmarks and one without them.
View -> Show/Hide -> Navigation panes. Again, you should see the bookmark icon and activate it.
Item 1 taken from here.
There seems to be no way to ADD bookmarks in AR9. Obviously AR9 is only of interest under Linux. HOWEVER you can display bookmarks if they are already in the document e.g. TOC. They show up under View-> Navigation Panels
In my case dealing with a long document that did not have bookmarks, I simply moved it to a PC with Acrobat on it added the bookmarks (chapters) and they show up perfectly in AR9.
I know you wanted to know how to show the bookmark panel in Adobe Reader 9; however, I am going start here (the answer to your question is at the end of this explanation): To add a bookmark in Adobe Reader 9.0, open the pdf, go to the desired page, right-click anywhere on the page, select Add Bookmark (or press Ctrl+B). You can set a zoom level for the page and it will also be saved with the bookmark. You should then name the bookmark by clicking the bookmark button in the Navigation Panel on the right side of the document. Note: Once you click on Add Bookmark, the Navigation Panel will open on the right side of the document. You can then rename the new bookmark (it will be named Untitled) along with other options. After renaming, you can click on the arrow at top right of the Navigation Panel to close the bookmark section of the panel. You can hide the Navigation Panel Buttons; however, if left open, you can choose a bookmark by clicking on the Bookmarks button (2nd button from top). If you do choose to hide the Navigation Panel, to reopen it you will have to go to the View tab, Navigation Panels, and choose Show Navigation Pane (or press F4 while in the document).
I've written a small Processing App which I'm planning to release soon. What's still missing is a sweet custom icon for Titlebar/Taskbar (Win) and Dock (Mac). Any suggestions how to do this?
Thx!
Meanwhile I figured it out on my own:
Obviously this works for Mac OS by replacing the sketch.icns file within the exported app, for win & liunx is done by adding this line to your setup method:
frame.setIconImage( getToolkit().getImage("sketch.ico") );
It depends if you have any artistic ability or not.
If not, then you can hire an icon designer to do one, or search the web for free icons - there are billions.
If you have a modicum of artisticness, then you could grab a free icon that is almost what you want and then tweak it. IcoFX is a great free application for doing this sort of thing.
If you think you have what it takes to draw an icon from scratch, then a good plan is to use a vector art package. This allows you to export the same graphic at multiple resolutions so you can get top quality at every icons size you need (from 16x16 to 256x256). Alternatively, draw a large (512x512) verison in a bitmap editor and then downscale it as required. As long as you start big and downscale, you shouldn't have any problems (although to get a good icon at 16x16 and 32x32 you will still need a good eye and a lot of manual tweaking).
In your code, just type this line:
frame.setIconImage( getToolkit().getImage("sketch.ico") );
For Windows/Linux, this will do it. For Mac/OSX, follow these steps:
Find your sketch in Finder
Right click > info, or CmdI
Find your icon and open it in Preview
In Preview, click on your icon and press CmdA or right click > select all
In Preview, press CmdC, or right click > copy
Go back to Finder. Click on the current icon of your sketch. You'll know you've selected it when a blue outline appears. Press CmdV, or right click > paste
Tips:
The standard icon size is 512x512
When making your icon, make sure that your transparencies are working
