In the previous issues, I introduced some detection tools or methods. From this issue, I will explain some tools for editing content, such as some tools for editing text, other tools for editing lines or frames, and color editing tools. . The following demonstrative examples still use Acrobat 7 Professional Edition and PitStop 6.53.
Text editing tools
There are three PitStop text editing tools, namely "Edit Text Line", "Edit Paragraph" and "Edit Vertical Text Line", please refer to Figure 1. The first one is suitable for modifying a single text or a line of text, the second tool is suitable for modifying a paragraph of text, and the third tool can modify straight text. The author tried to modify the horizontal and vertical English text, and the PitStop tool can handle it (refer to Figure 2), but it cannot be encountered with Chinese content, even if the Chinese font is installed on the system, because PitStop does not support Chinese. However, we can use Acrobat's own text tool "TouchUp Text Tool" for Chinese text editing, and there is no problem with straight-line Chinese text (refer to Figure 3). Of course, the previous question is that the system must have this font.
Note: In the old days of the old version of Acrobat, as long as fonts were injected into the file, the system did not install the relevant fonts, so we can modify the text content. Since Acrobat 6, due to Adobe's consideration of font copyright issues, if the computer does not install the relevant fonts and modify the text content, a font copyright warning will appear, and we will not even be allowed to modify the text (whether Chinese or foreign languages).
Wireframe editing tools
There are 4 wireframe editing tools for PitStop, sometimes they need to be mixed, and even with other functions can successfully complete a task. The four wireframe editing tools are "Edit Path", "Add Anchor Point", "Remove Anchor Point" and "Creat New Path". Before introducing the operation of each tool, let me first explain the following related terms:
Path—The term wireframe can be translated into line art or vector graphics. PitStop uses the word Path here, which can be round, square, line, or any shape (refer to Figure 4). The characteristics of wireframe objects are organized by geometric lines rather than pixels, and there will be no jagged edges or distortion after magnification.
Anchor points——Anchor points (see Figure 7), it allows us to control the shape and direction of the wireframe. Anchor points are usually the corners of the wireframe, but they can also be in the middle of the line.
Direction points-as shown in Figure 7, it extends the handle at one or both ends of the anchor point. Moving the handle allows us to control or change the shape of the curve.
Segment-line, which can be a straight line or a curve, it is a part of the wire frame, between two anchor points. (See Figure 7) OK, after understanding some important terms, we can now continue to introduce the following 4 wireframe editing tools:
Edit Path-This tool can change the size, shape or orientation of the wireframe. After selecting this tool in the toolbar, click the part of the wireframe to be edited, and then click the anchor point. The clicked anchor point appears highlighted. At this time, we can move this inverted white anchor point to change the wireframe (refer to Figure 5 And Figure 6). We can hold down the Shift key to click on the anchor points continuously, or drag a range to select multiple anchor points.
Add Anchor Point-Add an anchor point, which creates more control points on the wireframe object, that is, you can change the shape of the line as you like. To add an anchor point, select this tool and click on the wire frame, then click on the position where you want to add the anchor point. The clicked position must be above the line of the wire frame (segment), otherwise it is invalid.
Remove Anchor Point——Delete the anchor point and delete the anchor point on the wire frame. When the square wireframe is deleted by an anchor point, it becomes a triangle wireframe (see Figure 8). If you continuously delete the anchor point, the wireframe will eventually disappear.
Create New Path-Create a new wireframe, this tool allows us to create any wireframe. After creating a new wireframe, we can use other tools to change its color. [next]
Edit wireframe and other tools
Change the color-In addition to changing the shape of the line, we can also change the color of the wire frame. Select the Select Objects tool in the toolbar, if the PitStop Inspector floating board does not appear, click Window> Show PitStop Inspector ... in the menu, and then click the wire frame to be changed, and select Fill Color in the Color column of the floating board And the color value of the line (Stroke Color), here you can also change the color mode (Gray, RGB, CMYK, Spot Color, etc.). Figure 9 demonstrates changing the fill color of the wireframe object. The Fill / Stroke column allows us to turn on or off the fill and line of the wireframe.
Change the position-There are 3 parts in the Position column of the PitStop Inspector floating board, namely Position & Size, Numeric Transforms and Aspect Ratio & Angle. The first part can change the position and size of the object, the second part can change the proportion of the object, and the last part can change the angle and aspect ratio of the object.
Mobile tools
In addition to the moving method through PitStop Inspector, PitStop also has another method of moving objects, which is to use the Move Selection tool. First select the object with the Select Objects tool, then select the Move Selection tool on the toolbar, and use drag to move the object to the target position. For an accurate position, you must enter a value in the Position field of the PitStop Inspector floating board.
Recovery / Repeat Tool
Since the PitStop 6 version, the Undo (Redo) and Redo (Repeat) buttons have been added to the toolbar, we don't have to select Edit> Undo or Redo in the menu, the operation is convenient, and Undo or Redo can be operated many times before.
Select region tool
There are two area selection tools, namely Select Rectangular Area and Select Polygonal Area. This tool allows us to select a range and then follow the instructions of the floating board to change or clear the selected range. For example, undesired text appears outside of the file cut in Figure 10 and between the bleeds. The text is too close to the cut edge. At this time, we can use the Select Rectangular A rea tool to delineate the area to be eliminated, and then start PitStop Global Change In the Remove sub-column of the Page column of the floating board, click the Grab selected area button to determine the position and type of object to be removed (Remove Object option in the Remove sub-column), then select Apply to the entire file or some pages, and finally press The Apply button will take action in real time to clear all text in the specified range. Because this method can only select one range, even if you hold down the Shift key, you can't select one more range. If a range of the outline does not include single-page and double-page unnecessary text, then we have to repeat the method to eliminate The text on one side.
to sum up
This issue introduces some methods for editing text and wireframe images. In the next issue, the author would like to introduce the methods for editing bit images (ie Raster or Bitmap images), Cheers (British: Goodbye)!
