I've googled "edit tag libraries" but can't find anything recent. Can you direct me to some documentation explaining the "format tag libraries" feature?

I found the RegEx button -- it changed from a checkbox to a button with a mystery meat symbol on it so I didn't recognize it for what it was. I thought using it solved my problem -- the extra lines disappeared -- but then when I go to another computer, my code has NO lines! Well, it's all on a single line. I found a couple other forums where people said changing the line break setting used to solve this problem but doesn't anymore.

Odd magnification factors will antialias edges so in practical terms there's not much real usable information that can be gained. I completely disagree. Would you say that about Photoshop or Illustrator? I'm creating an animated map. I want to draw a path with the pen tool (that I'll animate using Trim Paths) so I'd like to zoom in on the area in which I'll draw it -- getting as close as possible so I can do detailed work but wouldn't have to scroll or use the Hand tool in the middle of drawing. I think that's pretty darn "practical." No less so than in Photoshop or Illustrator. I've never understood how people feel they can answer questions with, "you don't need that" or "it wouldn't be useful."

Well, that was ridiculously simple. Really?! They couldn't just call it a "playhead"?

I'd like to zoom in (not animate zooming -- with the zoom tool) at, say, 150%. Not 100%. Not 200%. I'd like to type this somewhere. Clicking with the zoom tool, using the mouse wheel, or using the menu, I'm stuck with the same choices.

I promise I've googled and found no answers and can't even find the question here. When reaching the final frame while previewing a comp, the playhead jumps back to the first frame which is infuriating. I need to see how it looks when it finishes. Please don't tell me, "click on the last frame" because I need to see it play and stop.

I don't want to duplicate a composition, I just want to create a new one that has the same dimensions, frame rate, etc. as another composition so they "match." Kind of like in Photoshop, when you want to resize an image, you can select another image from the Window menu to use those dimensions. Is that possible? Right now -- it seems to this newbie -- I have to write down all the properties so can change them in the New Composition Settings window.

Finally figured it out! The solution (mentioned in my original question) suggested by others that I said didn't work for me wasn't working because I was supposed to check "use regular expressions" in the F&R dialogue box but since I didn't see one, I didn't think it was necessary and ... as it turns out, Adobe removed this and other beloved features from F&R but has responded to all the protest by saying we should request it be added again. This is the sort of nonsense Articulate would pull. I've never seen -- in 17 years -- Adobe react to customers like this. Wow. I used the regex solution in another editor and it almost brought tears to my eyes I was so happy. Seriously Adobe, and I say this as a lifelong raving fan ... the integrated FTP is the only thing that keeps me using Dreamweaver. I used to introduce it in my classes as "the gold standard." I'm now one of those people recommending other products.

Since I hop between Windows, Mac, and Linux, should I set editors in all three environments to the same Line Break Type? Will that even help? I've noticed that if I don't delete all the extra lines while editing files on my Mac, when I open them in Windows, there is even more space between the lines. I thought it was just displaying the breaks differently but additional lines are actually being added.

Apply Source Formatting fixes the HTML but I'm working with PHP so that's a sizable chunk of what I'm looking at. I saw that Line Break Formatting (Mac vs Windows) thing but was hoping that wasn't really it because that seems rather hopeless. I'll definitely look into that Edit Tag Libraries bit -- will that help with the PHP?

I'm not sure if this is a Dreamweaver problem or not but Google tells me others have a similar -- but not exactly the same -- problem. Also, the regex Find & Replace solution appearing in all of those forums doesn't work for my problem. Please let me know if you have this problem and/or a solution and/or advice. Here's the situation (that just started, mind you): I work on a file (php/html) in Dreamweaver 2017 (Windows 7) at the office and either upload it to my server or email it to myself. I download it to my iMac (at least El Capitan and I'm pretty sure that's the last time I updated) and open it in Dreamweaver 2015 where it looks like the code is double-spaced. All lines that were right on top of each other now have a blank line between them and any chunks of code I'd actually separated with a line or two of code now have multiple lines of code between them. I haven't thought of experimenting or checking to see if those lines are doubled or if they just have a single line added. I hate it. I have to go through and manually delete all of them because it's impossible to find (even with comments) what I want when everything looks the same because nothing is next to each other, etc. I haven't noticed if this happens on my (Ubuntu) laptop where I use Visual Studio. I also haven't tried opening the files in Atom or VS or something else before DW because my immediate instinct when I sit down is to open DW and use the FTP to download my latest edits. Note: Nothing of the sort (like the reverse) happens when I download files at work into Dreamweaver/Windows.

Each time I open Dreamweaver, I can only put files once. It works fine that first time but any subsequent attempts just hang until I cancel, close Dreamweaver, reopen it, and continue working. Yes, I could use FileZilla but one of the reasons DW is my favorite editor is what used to be the supremely perfect Files panel and FTP. It's been doing this for the last 2-3 versions for me. The creds are fine -- it works perfectly that first time every time.

At present, it's a PDF with a dashboard that spawns forms based on templates in the PDF as needed. The web app would be html forms. The user is a private investigator. Through the course of an investigation (a "case"), he adds and completes various forms as needed. There's a main form in the dashboard to enter names and locations that will be used in multiple forms (they get added to drop down menus). So, the web app will have these forms available -- user will log in, create a case (the case number gets stored in the database), and, whenever user completes a form (a new form for each "investigative action" such as surveillance, digging through trash, social media research, etc.) it will be attached to a case number. When the investigation is complete, the user will generate a report that combines all of these and ... I'd like it to be a well-formatted, pretty PDF. I don't want to just print a web page to a PDF because that's ugly. I've seen web sites that generate beautiful PDF documents. I could make it so the user just downloads the form data and imports it into the current (but enhanced version of) PDF but I'd love to save them that step. Also, for "actions" that take up more room than the text field on a page, they have to manually add another page ... I don't know how to handle the overflow in the current PDF, let alone if it is all generated dynamically via web app.

Preface: I searched the Google and Adobe forums first, honest. Background: I made the world's coolest dynamic Acrobat JS app/pdf thing for this guy to create and complete dynamic reports using templates and such. Problem: Now I'm working on a web app (html, javascript, php, MySQL -- so far ... I'm willing to learn whatever I need to ... I'm also learning Python) so he and his employees can contribute anywhere/anytime from a desktop browser, phone, or tablet and then compile it into a report. Short-term, I'll create something so they can download some XML or other form data to import into the report -- a supplement to the existing PDF thing I've created. Long-term, I want all the building to be browser-based so they can just export a pretty PDF at the end. Question(s): I'd rather create my own, but is there an existing server-side app that does this? I thought for sure there were, but now I can't find them. My host/server is Linux. Ugh, am I going to need a more expensive dedicated server? Is Distiller the answer? I know Distiller can be on a common server but a web server for a web app? For creating my own, is the Acrobat SDK documentation the place to continue reading? Or is that for just working in Acrobat itself?

I'm going to try all of those -- thanks. The only reason I tried changing the dimensions (that is what you mean by resolution?) was I thought maybe if I tried exporting it smaller.

I'm suddenly having the same problem. I'm using Premiere Pro 2017. This is my first time using 2017. I never had any problems with previous versions. I'm on Windows 7. No plugins to my knowledge. Only effects are cross-fades unless you count using "scale to frame size" on everything. Original video size is 1920x1080 and I've made the frame size 960x540. I've tried exporting (using the settings in the screenshot) with output at 960x540 (tried twice) and 720x480 (once). The furthest it's gotten when exporting is 34%. I don't think it's stopping at the same point each time. Premiere doesn't crash. No errors. It just stops and leaves me with an empty WMV.

Before upgrading to 2017, I've always clicked my Photoshop icon then returned to whatever other app I'm using to continue working while Photoshop opened in the background. I have other apps that try to jump in front while still opening (yet not ready to use) but a click or two shoves them into the background without further hassle. Photoshop CC 2017, however, is persistently obnoxious and jumps in front of whatever I'm using several times. So often and so fast, in fact, that when I bring the other app to the front, I don't even have time to move it to another monitor before Photoshop has jumped in front again. I would care if Photoshop was ready to use when it jumps in front any of these times, but it isn't. It does it just to be a brat. Is there a way to make it cease this behavior and rediscover the manners all previous versions had?

I tried right-clicking and it worked. Then I tried the shortcut again and it worked. I'm not sure what I did incorrectly the first 41 times, but what I saw those 41 times isn't what you described ... I'm familiar with selecting (or deselecting) "Restrict Trims to Subclip Boundaries" but these weren't that ... my original mpg's duration is 37 minutes. Each of my selections were based on just a couple minutes using In and Out points but all of the new subclips were the entire 37 minutes. Regardless, everything seems to be working now. Thank you everybody for being kind and patient.

What I mean by "sequence" is I have my original mpg placed on a sequence timeline. I'm not trying to make a subclip from a sequence placed on a timeline. Hopefully, that makes sense.

Preface: Newbie switching from FCP so I may be missing something. Background: Learned the hard way that I can't create subclips from a sequence timeline -- what I thought were forty subclips were actually all full clips of the entire sequence. Now I'm doing it in the Source window and it's irritating. Question(s): Is there really no way to view the video and waveform simultaneously in the Source window? Google & forum searches as well as tutorials I've watched seem to say the best we have is a shortcut or menu to toggle between video or waveform. Am I correct in thinking that setting In and Out points then pressing Ctrl + U doesn't get me a subclip based on those In and Out points but a "subclip" of an entire sequence that ignores those In and Out points? If so, why are you able to set In and Out points on a sequence timeline? I would be delighted to find I'm just doing it completely wrong and would welcome, "You're an idiot -- just do this."

Hovering my pointer over text in the PDF, I can see there are hyperlinks and I need to edit them (to change the URL) but using the Forms "tool" doesn't show a field around/over the text and using "Remove Hyperlinks" under Edit PDF doesn't work either. Any ideas?
