How de define a frame around a text with a short-key ?
In Illustrator, I want to know if there is a keyboard shortcut allowing me to set the size of a block of text from the text inside ?
I have yet another question. I can see the text in a text frame with a script like this,
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var myTextFrames = doc.textFrames[0];
var myTF_Content = myTextFrames.contents; // this will return the string inside the text frame
alert(myTF_Content);
but how do I add some text to the beginning of that text? lets say that this is my textFrame[0] = "this is a simple test string".what is the proper way to add text like the number one and a period to the beginning?
What is the best way or anyway to remove text from a text frame? Say if you want to remove anything in () in a text frame or any * symbols.
52(one on both sides) //you have this in a text frame
52 // and you want to change it to this by deleting (.)
or
40* //you have this in a text frame
40 // and you want to change it to this by deleting the *

2nd : (TEXT FRAME) : Each word alone and keep the space character

How can I convert the shape of textbox to rectanglebox and fill any desired color into it? Can any API do so?
Here are steps that I follow in illustrator to convert the shape.
1. Create a textframe.
2. Select, choose "effect->convert to shape" menu-item.
3. Create a new fill from Appearence palette(Window->Appearance).
4. Fill the desired color from color palette(Window->Color).
I want to obtain the same result using API.
I am developing a plugin which is supposed to fill contents (text/image) from external source into a ai file that has placeholders. So far I am able to get the text part working using text frames. I am however not able to figure out a way to provide placeholder for image. Is there an equivalent of textframe for image? what are the alternatives?

View 6 Replies View RelatedUsing the Direct Selection Tool I will often click and drag over one corner or side of a shape to select those specific anchor points. This works perfectly on a shape. However, I've noticed this doesn't work on a text frame. Using the same technique on a text frame results in all anchor points being selected. The only way, to my knowledge, to select specific anchor points on a text frame is to actually click on the anchor points themselves. If my memory serves me correct (Though there's a good chance I'm imagining things.) in past versions of Illustrator the aforementioned technique would've worked. What gives, CS6?

and here's a link to the .ai file: [URL] I have loads of other frame designs which will need similar treatment so I'm looking for a general solution rather than something that is totally specific for this design.

Is there a setting to change the text frame size when pasting a block of text?
For example if text is pasted into a blank page with the either the pick or text tool active the text frame on each page is 8.3"x10.8" on a 8.5"x11" page. the same on each succeeding page until the text is less than a full page.
I would like to set the text frame at 7.5"x10" for pasting in text when the text will need unknown number of pages.

I have problems with text frame alignment. When I set the distance between page's border and text frame the actual one is different i.e. I set 30 mm and it's exactly the distance between the border and the text frame border. However I would like to have 30 mm as a distance between text and the edge of a paper. In example below it's slightly more (dotted line).

I just started using the new Indesign CC and one of the features that I miss is the blue outline that would appear around textboxes. It would allow me see where my text was and move it around. The new Indesign CC displays text, but with no outline around the text, which makes it difficult to re-adjust the box size and move around my text.
Is there a way to enable the text box outline to show when designing (not when printing) as the previous verisons of InDesign did?

Running Illustrator CC on a Mac. I'm missing the maximize, minimize, and close buttons in the top left corner. I have an "Ai" symbol in the top left, which I thought was only on the PC version? All my tools disappear when I turn on application frame. I deleted the preferences file, no luck. When I hold down command shift option during startup of Illustrator it says "error loading plugins"..
