Export interactive PDF

Hello! I am trying to create an interactive PDF using InDesign CS5. I need to create buttons to link to specific pages in the PDF file, but every time I export I get say error message 'the go to Page button action is not taken in charge in format PDF. The appearance of the button will be preserved, but its interactivity will be abandoned "." I already have it exported in Adobe PDF (Interactive) and cannot find any solution that worked online. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Use the hyperlinks Panel (I remember it is combined with cross-references in CS5). It would be window > Interactive > hyperlinks. Go to the page that you want to access with the touch. In the hyperlinks Panel menu, choose the new Destination of the hyperlink. In the new Destination of the Hyperlink dialog box, select Type: Page. Make sure that your current page is selected, and then click OK.

Return to your button and how to choose your action to go to destination and select the destination of your creation.

  • Export interactive PDF in indesign, with the animation of the edge to the SWF file?

    Hello

    I have an interactive pdf in indesign with animation, works very well when they are exported to the swf file.

    I need to use more complex animations that Indesign has, so I created some new features of Adobe Edge animate, exported save them as a file .oam and then put them in the Indesign file.

    If I use the Preview on the animation tab I see indesign animations and the edge, but if I export it to a SWF file is - this only animation to indesign working, and if I export to epub file is only the edge animation work.

  • ID CS5.5 export interactive PDF as single pages, no spreads

    I read the instructions wrong? I have a 116 page book. When I export to PDF for printing, it exports correctly, showing a page at a time. When I export to interactive PDF, pages come out as single large pages, and I find myself with a book of 58 pages in landscape format. I tried all the settings. Yes, I chose 'single page' in the area of the layout (if I select 'Two up', I find myself with 4 pages on the screen).

    Advice? I don't know I'm missing something obvious. Thank you.

    What attracts almost everyone by surprise. It's actually by design, but judging by the posts here not necessarily the best design decision. There are two ways to address this via script. Active / disables the export function extends offshore for interactive PDF export (see Interactive PDF from InDesign CS5 always a extends on |) InDesignSecrets).

    Another method is to divide the "spreads" before exporting it ("see InDesignSecrets" Blog Archive"Breaking Pages Apart to bleed off the coast a thorn and http://www.printisrael.com/indesign/scripts/freeware/SeparatePages.jsx).

    Make sure you read all the comments in the two articles. If you are unsure how to install a script, see How to install scripts in InDesign | InDesignSecrets

  • Export interactive PDF in CS5.5 problems

    When I try to use my old settings PDF of CS4 my interactive elements do not work. See the figure below.

    I am able to export successfully by pressing command-E and by choosing Adobe PDF (Interactive), but images, at least in the first example, I chose, not correctly reproduce in the PDF file. See comparison of original created in CS4 (left) and the CS5.5 version (right):

    Anyone has any ideas how to solve this problem?

    I use Acrobat X and system 10.6.8

    I found the answer to this problem myself!

    Because the interactive parameter does not support being kept spot colors causes problems with Illustrator RGB files that have been implemented using a spot color. Well, you can ask why you want the spot colors in Illustrator RGB file. Well, it is to keep all intact Lab values, but you cannot have all the points used in this way to work around the problem of color PDF.

  • Nonprinting buttons appearing in the wrong order when you export to interactive PDF!

    I am a customizable holiday gift certificate creating generic view on our website for download. I create using InDesign CS6. The idea is that the interactive PDF can be opened in the reader, one of the six charts of certificate can be selected (via the radial buttons that hide/show graphics that have been converted into buttons), and various text fields can be filled in. Then, the certificate can be printed and cropped. I have all the interactive elements, works very well, including the "print" key. The interactive PDF looks like this:

    Waste_Free_Certificates_correct.jpg

    However, when printing, I would ONLY the certificates and the fields of text to print and not the instructions, header, or radial buttons selection certificate or full color, background. The point of this is so that the user doesn't lose the ink. I want to print like this:

    Waste_Free_Certificates_printed.jpg

    At first I tried to make nonprinting objects, but which also shows them not when exported to interactive PDF. I then tried the same thing by putting on another layer and uncheck "print layer" (but check "show layer"), but I came across the same result. After searching the forums, I discovered that the only way to make these nonprinting elements, yet still visible in the interactive PDF, is to convert each object to a button and then uncheck the "Printable" box in the window buttons and forms. I did, and now everything seems to work fine...

    Except that when you export, export buttons in order of stacking poorly, like this:

    Waste_Free_Certificates_wrong.jpg

    This color background continues to go on in front of all the rest. Even if I put it on it's very own layer under layer with all other charts (converted to buttons) on this subject, he always appears in front of all the other buttons. It is the same whether or not I have check the box create Acrobat layers. What the devil I'm doing wrong?

  • Interactive PDF layers appear behind the text. A script can move them to the top layer?

    I have created a form in InDesign CC (latest version on a Mac under El Capitan). I export the form in PDF format. There are some interactive tooltips (with suggestions on how to fill in each particular field) implemented as buttons. The control keys are static. When I click on the trigger, the bubble appears, when I click on the bubble, it disappears. The problem is that even if the bubbles are set up on the top layer in InDesign, in many cases they appear behind the text layer.

    Is there a script that I can add to each individual bubble that says "when this bubble is active, move it to the top layer?

    This project took over 3 weeks of troubleshooting. In the end I came up with my own results. The answer was "no, it isn't a script."

    With the help of the Adobe customer service, we found that because in the InDesign file, I had the pop-ups on a different layer than the triggers, it was causing a problem of overlap. I found myself by combining the layers into a single, moving pop ups to the elements high on the page in the layers palette.

    Then I exported (interactive) PDF from InDesign and in the PDF file, in edit mode, in the fields Panel, I've selected all the pop-ups and offers them to at the bottom of each page [z-index property]. A lot of manual labor, but in the end, I got most of the results I wanted.

  • Checkbox labels disappear and colors modified during export to interactive PDF

    I did an InDesign document that contains two simple text boxes: one containing the word 'Yes' – the other containing the word 'no '. The background color of these two boxes are defined as 100% Cyan. After that, I have converted both of them boxes [(voir 1) in the illustration below].

    But when you export as interactive PDF, the background color of change boxes 17/11/0/0 and the 'yes' and ' no. "-labels are not visible in the exported PDF document [(voir 2) in the illustration below]."»

    However, when you click on the box in Acrobat, the box contains its original color 100% cyan and label and check mark appears [(voir 3) in the illustration below].

    But when I click on an empty space outside the box, the box label disappears again, and the background color changes again in 17, 11, 0, 0 [(voir 4) in the illustration below].

    My intention is that, when you view the document in Acrobat Reader, check boxes 100% Cyan with labels 'Yes' and 'No' obvious, when you click on one of them, the check box appears and background color remains 100% Cyan and the labels remain visible - also when you click off the beaten later.

    I'm doing something wrong, or is this a software problem?

    I appriciate all the tips and tricks on how to achieve my goal. Thanks in advance!

  • Text boxes do not appear when exported to interactive PDF

    I am working on a form of several page that uses 10% gray boxes to indicate the places where people can enter their answers. I made sure all the boxes are checked as "Printable" whereas they should appear when I export to interactive PDF and print. However, when I export to interactive PDF, some mailboxes displayed. I tried save the file as a .idml, opening and export from there, but some original boxes appear and new boxes are not displayed. Anyone know how I can get all the boxes to show?

    Figured it out! All the text boxes need to have a different label. For example, you can't text boxes on pages that carry the two NOTES.

  • I created show and hide features in InDesign I want to export to interactive PDF format. These functions work when seen in Acrobat on the desktop, but not on iPad/Tablet - why?

    I created show and hide features in InDesign I want to export to interactive PDF format. These functions work when seen in Acrobat on the desktop, but not on iPad/Tablet - why?

    Why? Most likely because the PDF Viewer on the Tablet is too stupid to deal with show/hide functionality.

    You could try PDF Expert of Readdle on qpdf Notes Pro on Android and iOS devices.

    Depending on how the show/hide was created during the export of InDesign, it can work in viewers. Otherwise, you will need to open PDF files in Acrobat and edit features show/hide something more digests of PDF device viewers.

    BTW, you will encounter the same issues with the PDF display components in web browsers.

    I hope this can help.

  • No export to interactive PDF fonts

    I made a document in indesign, and when I export to interactive PDF, fonts, etc key... changes.  EX I use leading font 18 Arial Black with12PT in indeign and when I export the document and open it in Acrobat reader or Acrobat Pro police police 12Pt Arial (NOrmal) and 14.4 (Default) leader.  Any ideas on that?  How can I keep the fonts that I use in indesign?  The Dungeon of pieces interactive no fonts that I use her does not affect the interactive elements.

    The problem is not InDesign, that's the limitation of fonts in PDF Forms. If you open the properties of the text field for your text field in Acrobat, you will see something like this:

    While you can choose any font on your system, you should take those above the line. I just looked excellent series of videos of Claudia McCue on Acrobat DC on Lynda.com. Here is what she said: "the fonts that are above this line are the fonts that will be accessible to anyone with Acrobat Reader or Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Standard. All policies below this line are the fonts that are active on your system. And that they are not active on someone else's system. And which may result in text that is not displayed or does not match. She asked type of disorder, so even if it looks dull, go ahead and take one of the dull fonts above the line. »

    Also note that there are no options for line spacing at all. If it's really not for lack of InDesign, but a limitation in PDF Forms.
