buttons change layers when creating interactive PDF HELP!

I have a lot of documents with images that need to be enlarged, so for each image (a few pages with a single image, others with 4 or 5) I create the image as a button.  In a new layer called overlay, I create a greybox on the page and the bigger picture and more than (the two buttons and hidden initially).

If the layers order goes like this:

Big picture (top)

GreyBox

small image.

Preview interactive ePub in InDesign is on-site.  The button to reveal and hide the images correctly and are in the correct order.

HOWEVER, when I generate an interactive PDF, pages look fine until I click on a button, but once I click on a picture, I get:

big picture is cut UNDER the greybox.

Small image is above the large image.

I published the document online and when displayed in a browser, all the problems disappear (I remember that it uses the same engine as the preview interactive ePub) but when I download the on-line document, the errors come back.

I feel really it is a bug in InDesign (Adobe listening?) and if anyone has had similar problems, I'd like to hear about them.

Any help gratefully received.

Thank you

Ian

  • Creating interactive PDFs for Mac preview?

    I use InDesign CS3 on a PC and creating interactive PDFs for my clients. I just found out that when the interactive PDF is opened using the preview, all layers are displayed at the same time... Is it possible to produce an interactive PDF that works of the same aperture and read by Acrobat and an excerpt? Help, please!

    As much as you cannot believe that it is a problem, it is indeed a problem. The reason that the application overview of Mac OS is so light and fast is that she is not completely and correctly implement the complete PDF language specification. Preview is OK, open the simple PDF files made from simple Word documents, e-mails, spreadsheets, and PowerPoint presentations, but it often miserably fails on all that is graphically rich with significant amounts of and/or complex live transparency. There is nothing Adobe can do about it, other than to warn the creative professionals and other users Macintosh of the problem. Adobe Reader is free, whereas in reality, the problem is minimal if the user is ready to install the player.

    Note that PDF is a fully documented ISO standard. It is not a question of not having Apple does not have access to the PDF language specification or having to reverse engineer any technology. At this point, Apple seems to believe that his product preview is good enough for the majority of its customers.

    Note that the preview for iPhone and iPad iOS version is even more problematic than the MacOS version!

  • How to create interactive pdf to Ipad using InDesign CS6

    Hi I created a layout of Magazine using InDesign CS6 and wanted to be read on native Ipad reader (but not apps).  I put interactivity features like hyperlinks and page navigations and converted into interactive pdf file. The problem was the links and buttons are not displayed on the Ipad.

    I tried to use Acrobat Pro to create hyperlinks, and this time the navigation and hyperlinks are. But is there a way does not create hyperlinks manually one by one (especially the next page and previous page). If I have more than 100 pages of documents, this process will be very painful.

    Is there a solution to create interactive pdf directly from InDesign without creating links in Acrobat?

  • Button changes style when it is connected to the application manager

    I connected the standard axButtons for the application handler in a custom IOS built in CSharp using Visual Studio 2008.  When I run the OI, the buttons change to standard style (edges rounded, etc.) what looks like a classic style (square edges, no color gradient, etc.).  At first I thought this might be a limitation of CSharp, but when I ran the CSharp UI executable (comes with Teststand), the buttons seem correct.  Is there a reference that I haven't added or something?  I followed (copied about) the code found in the CSharp UI complete, leaving aside the functions that I didn't need.

    This is the only true code on both buttons.  It's pretty simple, so I imagined what a project property that I have install incorrectly.  I have also included the namespaces I've included.

    No problem. I've attached a zip file that contains the recommended manifest file and the updated project file that references. I didn't create the manifest file, place the file in the directory of the project file, add the manifest file to the project, select the file in the control of the ring on the settings tab application to embed the manifest, rebuild the project and run.

  • InDesign 2014 E-mail hyperlink does not work when the interactive pdf is displayed in a tab in the browser

    When we create an interactive pdf in inDesign CC 2014, the e-mail link does not time the 'topic' and 'to' when the client opens in a browser view. Works fine when downloaded and opened in Acrobat, but most customers will use the browser method. How does one solve this problem when making the PDF, or, how does one prevent the PDF to open in a browser? There was once a "prevents the opening in the browser" in earlier versions of Acrobat, but it isn't here in xi Acrobat. Thank you, in advance!

    You can solve by the PDF, that so fine because in Acrobat, then the link is OK. You also can not prevent to open in the browser, because the browser manages how to open a PDF file. PDF included browser readers can be turned off or there are (probably) settings always open the PDF file in an external application (Adobe Reader, etc.).

    However, I also create PDF files of in Indesign (although non-interactive ones), which include hyperlinks for e-mail, and put it on our Web site. If I use Chrome and click any PDF link, it opens in the browser and hovering over an e-mail address reveals the mailto: link (subject not included, is not serious in any way) and a click opens my mail client. Works perfectly.

    Can you provide a link to one of your PDF files online for testing?

  • Acrobat Pro DC freezes when creating a PDF from the Clipboard and gives an error message when you create a pdf from Microsoft Word 2016.

    Two weeks ago I have upgraded to Adobe Acrobat Pro since Acrobat Pro XI DC. Create a PDF from Clipboard in appearance from a status bar results, lessons for 25%, at which point Acrobat "freezes" "." " Similarly, when using the feature to create a file PDF in Microsoft Word 2016, a progress bar appears, gets to 25%, then the error message "Microsoft Word has stopped working", restart Word, and a message recommending that the Acrobat Add-in is disabled. I'm on Windows x 64 on a Lenovo X 1 carbon 10. Is there a "fix" to these questions?

    The word problem seems more likely to have a bug introduced by Microsoft in their last update for Word 2016, a couple of weeks. Someone posted a way to get Word to revert to a version:

    To revert to a version earlier office 2013 or 2016 Office in the form of installation of Office 365, you must use a command line and specify the build number, that you want to return.

    1. As Office 365 facilities are automatically updated in the background, you must disable the automatic updates first. This can be done in any application Office 365 via:
      File-> Office account-> Update Options-> disable updates
    2. Open a command prompt:
      1. Start-> type:cmd
      2. Click on: command prompt
      3. Choose: Run as administrator
      4. Provide your credentials to the administrator or to confirm the user account control dialog box when you are prompted.
    3. Type the command below that applies to your version of Office or Windows
      • Office 2016
        cd %programfiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\ClickToRun\
      • 2013 office under Windows 32-bit
        cd %programfiles%\Microsoft Office 15\ClientX86\
      • 2013 desktop on 64-bit Windows
        cd %programfiles%\Microsoft Office 15\ClientX64\
    4. You can specify the number of bed to regain in the following way:
      officec2rclient.exe /update user updatetoversion=

      • Replace with the build number that you want to return. There is a preview of version numbers, you can return to the Office 2013 and 2016 Office.
      • Example to return to the release of January 2016 office:
        OfficeC2RClient.exe /update user updatetoversion=16.0.6366.2062
      • Example to return to the release of January 2013 office:
        OfficeC2RClient.exe /update user updatetoversion=15.0.4787.1002

  • When you create interactive PDF files in InDesign, buttons are down in the DC / Acrobat Reader

    Hello Acrobat Forum:

    I create an interactive e-book PDF I get incompatible with questions. I spent a lot of time trying to solve it, and I still have to find a solution. I have some configuration of navigation on a master page that I need to change the page level. These buttons should have a reverse effect, so the bearings must exchange. Most of the time these works. It is the 25% of the time this is a problem. And when there is a problem, they are not displayed. The final PDF is created an InDesign book with 5-6 papers in it. It has 6 layers with the top layer of mostly unprintable.

    That's what I tried:

    • Made sure all the layers in the ID book are exactly the same.
    • Handset of all horizons for the navigation and buttons on the same layer.
    • Exported with only the layer of activated navigation. This fixed the problem with the navigation, but once all the other elements have been added the problem came back.
    • Changed order of the layers. Same result with the loss of elements.
    • Excerpt from the page with the fall as they appear and buttons. As soon as I replace the page with this page the complete document, they give up.

    I use the latest version of InDesign (version 2015.4) and DC Acrobat (version 2015.017.20053).

    I have many more of these books, it is imperative that I find a solution in the future.

    Thank you.

    After much trial and error trying to figure this issue out, I came up with the solution that solved my problem. The issue has to do with the designation of the buttons. Most of the buttons were on master pages. But some pages have a different look on some pages. So I turn on the master page to the page level button. Once this happened, he changed the name of the button. Because I'm using the function "Export to the book in PDF format", where this has been done in other ID files in the book, there was conflict in the naming of the buttons. Once I renamed the buttons with a unique name, they came on the page.

  • Interactive PDF help!

    I am doing a form of pdf contact information interactive for someone and have some difficulty. The person wants the phone number to automatically enter a period instead of tabing over a new place to fill. I can't figure out how to put a period to place in the interactive area and get the text to review this space... Help, please!



    You can't define what kind of special format to a text field in Indesign, but you can do it in Acrobat format. In Acrobat, select the field properties > format > format category: special > arbitrary mask >, enter the style you want: 999.999.9999

    In my example, the user would enter 1234567890 in field, and it will appear as 123.456.7890

In particular (I say this because I think that is happening in the other color settings, just no where near as obvious) when I turn into a black and white photo of actually changing the toggle (not just by pulling on the saturation) it will straight not black and white, it's more than a sepia color. Yet when I export the same picture, it's clearly evident crisp black and white!

  • How to print a black line drawing in color when creating a PDF doc

    Hi all!

    I have a b & logo W which is the simple line drawing.  I do a few header where all the text is in blue, and I want to do the logo of the same shade of blue.  While the lines, shapes and text can be easily customized in Acrobat or even in the word, I can not understand how to change the color of an object perceived as an image.  I think that if it can be done in Acrobat format, it can probably be done in Photoshop or Illustrator.  But my ability to those very limited to non-existent.  I'll try InDesign in any case because I open and edit a PageMaker document and stole my computer with PM (my favorite of all time program).  I trained at PM and has become expert enough in it, and I thought it will be not too difficult to pick up Ideas, but I have not yet tried.  I have used PS for a basic photo cropping but have never been trained in or in Illustrator and when I open programs and see all these tools around the perimeter, I'm lost, and none of them seem to be what I need!

    No time now to find the tutorials before completing this stationery.

    Any kind soul could help with a quick intruction on how to do this?

    Thank you

    Cathy

    [Left the forum Cloud/Installer generic for program specific forum... MOD]

    If the logo is really a raster image, you need a program like Photoshop for image editing. If this is the vector, use an edition of such vectors Illustrator program. No, unless it's a little bit unique by monochrome image pixel, there is nothing you can do with this in InDesign at all.
