How to set the initial state to hide/show buttons on opening PDF files?

InDesign offering a wonderful object multi-state capacity which unfortunately does not work in PDF files. It took a bit of research for me to come with this information, the UI program itself gives indications that this should work. (Why not maybe another forum of discussion.)

So, I create an interactive PDF using buttons to hide/show specific paragraphs (which are also implemented as buttons because only the buttons and forms can be hidden or shown, AFAIK).

I've set up a PDF created via InDesign using the six control keys and seven paragraphs - one of these paragraphs is the initial state that I want to see when the document is opened. As long as the PDF file that I create is distributed, that's how it works: an initial paragraph appears, buttons can be clicked and the stuff of Heroes appears the mark.

However, a colleague thoughtfully saved the PDF file (so it could rename something more to his liking). When he does this, he left one of the displayed subsidiary paragraphs, rather than the initial paragraph I intended... and of course, this is the version that came out to the customer.

Question: Is there a way to set the initial state to hide/show buttons when a PDF document is opened first, regardless of the State in which he could let or saved? I guess it's sort of ON OPEN event that would allow me to define an initial state as a safety net to the way I save the original document. Obviously, the PDF AS I DELIVER IT will pave the way, I want it, but I'm trying to overcome the appearance of the Murphy's law of a document that can be re-recorded in another State. An event which OPENED on that cure.

Thank you.

in this case you would have been better if you had locked the PDF file in order to prevent changes ANDS record as actions...

    Hi olivias,.

    Looks like there may be some confusion on your system which application should be associated with PDF files. You can reset the file name associations by following the steps described in these articles (depending on your operating system):

  • How to change the initial state of the button text?

    blank_page

    The initial state of a button switches is one established in IUR editor before the program runs in the Panel of property whose screenshot you have set. I'm not aware of a way to programmatically change the IUR, especially if the target computer is not installed on the development system.

    If for some reason you won't change the default value in the editor of the UIR, then what you have to do is to define the corresponding attribute BEFORE the Panel opens and possibly call DefaultCtrl before you set the value by default so that the control is set programmatically by default, you have just put , depending on what it is.

  • How can I set the option of working "press quality" to create a PDF file by using the right click?

    I need to process a large volume of PDF from Word files.

    Option of work required is high quality press.

    I tested the creation of PDFs in 2 ways:

    Open the file in Word and PDF/Print/File and select high quality default press + save as default printer

    Then I tested it by selecting several files to a directory and using the right click (convert to PDF)

    Results: PDF do not have the same properties and right click PDF files have a poorer quality unsuitable for printing paper.

    Do you know how to set the option of high quality for the click press right (Adobe does not use the same parameters depending on the operation)?

    Go to the preferences of Acrobat. Choose the convert to PDF pane and click Microsoft Office Word. Click on change settings and from there, you get a dialog box that allows you to set the Settings Adobe PDF for such operations in batches. Select the option of high quality print and then press OK twice and you should be good to go.

  • How to set the initial value of the same value as the Page loading of SelectOneMenu

    Hello

    I noticed that in my value = "#{bean.selectedItem page}" of selectonemenu is always null when loading the page and because of that there is a difference in the initial value and the value sent as valuechangelistener is shot because of this difference, I don't want to happen. "

    I call the method to load the values into selectonemenu in the constructor of my bean.

    How can I make sure that the initial value is always the same as the value at the time of page load so that valuechangelistener would not fire unless the user changes the options in selectonemenu. Because of this problem I am facing a lot of issues like valuechangelistener is going to get fired.

    Any help is much appreciated.

    Thank you

    Yes, you will need to find a way to set the value before the creation of the part of the view. Generally, there are two ways. There are at least two ways, I tend to use:

    (1) loading deferred; you would get a Get accessor like this method:

    public String getValue(){
      if(value == null){
        // code here to get value from wherever
      }
    
      return value;
    }
    

    (2) initialize properties in a method annotated with @PostConstruct in your backing bean

    @PostConstruct
    public void initialize(){
      value = whatever;
    }
    

    Hope that helps you. If this isn't the case, so I totally misunderstood you and you try to explain more clearly what your problem is.

  • Hide a button when a pdf file is opened?

    Hi all

    I created a PDF form using LiveCycle 8.0 who must hide or disable (or the other would be nice) a button when the pdf file is first opened, as there are already entries by the user text in a form field. This would be due to users opening, enter data into the text field and then have backed up previously.

    Here's the javascript code I've tried so far.

    var k is form1. Table.subject.Paragraph.subject_name.rawValue;

    If (k.length! = 0) {}

    Form1. Button1.presence = 'Hidden ';

    Form1. Button1.access = "readOnly";

    }

    I put the code in the "docReady', ' form: ready ' and ' layout: ready ' events of my form, but when I open the form after the recording of the text in the text field, the button is always visible to the closing and reopening of the form.

    The weird part is, if I set the 'Default' text box property to any value non-zero and test it in the Preview tab, it works!

    It seems that even if the default property is defined (and detected) by the events above before all entries by the user (and saved) text is loaded into the text box on a form fields, so what I'm checking do appear to be capture input by the user to the point that they are triggered.

    Basically, I'm asking how to check for text entered by the user (i.e. is not part of the 'default' text field property) in a text field and then disable or hide a button on the form on the pdf being opened?

    What events should have my code in them?

    If it's "layout: ready", which?  That of the shape, the text field or button I want to hide?

    Thanks in advance for all replies,

  • How to set up the initial States of layer in pdf format

    Hello. What version of Acrobat will I need set the initial layer visibility States? At present, all the layers in the PDF files that we create at work are defined on it, but we want to control that appears at startup. Do I need pro or pro extended? I was unable to understand that comparison of the production / purchase guide.

    Furthermore, is it possible to rotate the layer visibility changes in batch? For example take 100 cards with all the market and output layers the same number, but with only the selected layers. Can I customize the code of the lot, what scripting language I should know?

    Thank you very much

    J

    There are no Pro Extended, Pro just.

    Yes, you could States of batch layer, provided their order or names were the same in each document. All scripts in Acrobat is done with JavaScript, and batch processing is now part of the toolset of measures (it still can work JavaScript snippets against files, just via a new system of dialogue based on a Wizard).

  • How to set the visibility of the layer on the initial view?

    I created some shapes that have multiple layers in them. They are several pages long. Page 1 there are 3 radio shows buttons... it selects the appropriate user type and begins running the correct layer and turns off the other layers. Unfortunately, if they go to page 2, before clicking on one of the butttons, they see all layers at once, and it's a confused mess.

    Is there a way to set the default layer visibility so that when you open the PDF file, it only shows the layer I want it? I don't find it in the initial view settings.

    Thanks in advance for any help provided!

    Yes, you can use a script to document level to set the State of the OCG, Optonal content group or layer, States up-front objects.

    Hello

    I need set the initial of my transfer function value so that it starts to 0.7778 instead of from 0.

    [My transfer function is 1 / (3.3 s + 1)]

    I found this link, but still he somehow does not give the right output I desired because it has not started to 0.7778.

    http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/allkb/0D8F3397666F295F8625773B0055F1B9

    Could someone help me with this issue?

    Farid Ali

    Ridwan,

    Since you have a SISO system, you can try using the screw "Design Control" to convert the transfer function after normalization of State-Space model, you can use a function 'hidden' in the design of control that are used to calculate the original terms of your system. This function will calculate the necessary value to States in order to obtain the desired result, based on the model. If your initial release is zero, the Conversion.vi cd_IC will give you an empty model and to avoid an error, then change its value to zero.

    As an attachment, you have an example and a screw that you allow to use it in 2009 LV.
