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

    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.

    Somehow it is possible to export so that the two works of animation types. and it is possible to do it in a SWF file.

  • Create an interactive PDF on 35 pages

    Hi displays the first time here, so apologies in advance if I break all the rules.

    So I'm having a strange problem that I hope someone can help with.

    I created an interactive PDF on InDesign CS6. The document has a back, a front and a button of content on each page as a TOC marked with a bookmark. When I go to export, said the document and open it in Acrobat. the form field guide bar (attached) seems that there is no form field in the document. The strange thing is that it appears that if the document is 35 pages or more. Can someone help so that this bar does not appear on the pdf doc?

    In this case does not rely on the number of pages, rather than the number of interactive elements in the PDF file.

    You can prevent Acrobat/Reader (regardless of the number of interactive elements) to display the toolbar of form by activating certain restrictions document as not allowing content do not copy or page extraction.

  • Preview.app stuck on the first page of the PDF in single page mode

    I regularly Preview.app view PDF files and want to use the "Single Page" function to display an entire page at one time. I have 'Single Page' display set as the default behavior.

    Lately when I open a PDF file, they properly open the first page, but I am unable to navigate to another page via the drop-down page, touch up/down arrow. If the PDF file has a table of contents, I am able to go beyond the first page through it and then proceed to navigate normally. If it is not a table of contents, the only solution is to continuous scrolling mode and continue to navigate beyond the first page.

    It's very annoying! Unfortunately, I can't remember where this started happening. It could be when I upgraded to MacOS Sierra, but I can't confirm.

    Everyone else see this behavior?

    Hold down the Option/ALT key, then use the cursor to the TOP or to the BOTTOM of the key.

    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.

  • Books of InDesign and set up for a single page and spreads

    Good afternoon everyone,

    I am currently working on an InDesign book that has about 40 documents + a table of contents.

    This document will be printed and perforated, so I incorporate the space required to do on my drawing by we also publish this doc as an electronic copy.  Is there a way I can my unique installation page and I then export document for printing with setting to rip the margins for the punching of holes?

    Thank you

    Ren

    Certainly more complex development for two-sided printing, but you might consider adding a slug or a further bleeding inside edge which could be included when exporting. If the pages are blank near the spine, purge would do with no specific provision (inside the purge is at the edge of the other page except if you divide the spread out). "" If you need to divide the pasta spread, you can use the script you will find at InDesignSecrets "Blog Archive" Pages Breaking Apart to bleed off the coast a thorn or http://www.printisrael.com/indesign/scripts/freeware/SeparatePages.jsx

  • PDF spreads to single Pages, and then specify the display options

    I have a big document InDesign implemented in 11 x 8.5 spreads. I need to export to PDF as single pages, but also to specify the display of the page as 'fit to page'.

    If I use the print options, I can get single pages, but can't seem to specify the page display mode.  If I use the interactive options I can specify the display of the page, but all exports chemically instead of single pages.

    Am I missing something here?

    Not really. See http://indesignsecrets.com/interactive-pdf-from-indesign-cs5-always-has-spreads-on.php

    There is a way to script down in the comments who will tip spreads and put out in the interactive export (Don't stop to the link to the script that separates the "spreads" apart).

  • 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?

  • Export PDFs single page with the name of the page

    I was looking for a script that:

    -exports all the pages of an indesign file to PDF separate single page (or other file types)

    -names, the pdf file with the name of a page-> This is the hardest to find part

    The reason why I could use it: I have a file of 200 + page with productspecs. I would like to export all pages with the software "productName" correct. (extraction of a PDF file in acrobat is not a problem, but then I have to rename all the files manually)

    I do not know how to name pages, because it is not a function in indesign. Ideal would be to be able to 'say' indesign: this textframe = the name of the page, then it would be not necessary to label the page separately.

    I'm not a writer. I searched the forum and found some info on this already, but not a working including automatic pagenaming script.

    I found an old post where someone points to such a script, but I'm not:

  • Interactive display of unique page for PDF

    A publication that I'm working on is set up as a double-page double. When I export as an interactive PDF with layout 'single page' selected, the PDF file always sees as a spread. How can I do consider a single page?

    (I use ID 5.5)

    If I remember correctly, only InDesign CS6 can export interactive PDF files with unique pages. Earlier versions (CS5 and CS5.5) still exports an InDesign spread over a single PDF page... then if you view a page at a time in the drive, you see in fact any spread.

    You can change this in two ways:

    (1) turn on/off facing pages of your document settings and export while you have only a single page / spread (you may experience problems with your tough useful)

    (2) change export method with small script:

    http://InDesignSecrets.com/interactive-PDF-from-InDesign-CS5-always-has-spreads-on.php

    Just do scroll through the comments, basic find this scipt in downloadable file here too...

    The unique layout option you mentioned is for Adobe Reader or Acrobat. It s used to set the display mode (1 page at the time, two pages at once etc.). It has nothing to do with the export itself...

  • Cannot export to single pages facing pages

    Hello

    I have a 60 page document + that I created to deal with pages. It is a magazine, so I had to work in spread because much graphics extend over two pages.

    My problem is that I was invited to make the final PDF file 'single page' - spreads. Each page must be hers.

    I tried to turn off the coast facing pages under the heading "Configuration document", but it did not split graphs that spans two pages (IE, I have a header that covered two pages and when I turn off 'facing pages', the header is attached to the 'left' page and space where half right of the image should be is not in the "right" page.) I understand that it is an object, but there should be a way for her to 'split').

    I can't find another way to transform the export of single pages. I either export it to PDF and get "spreads" (two pages face-to-face somehow transformed into a long page) or I lose half of my content.

    I'd appreciate any help - it's a huge head and rather sensitive time.

    (By the way, I had this problem once before, when I was more inexperienced.) I did save two versions of the file: 1 vote against and facing pages and the other with facing pages turned off. Then I copied the 'spread' from the 'facing pages' file and pasted on the page "right hand" of the non-pages file (it's the cut part of the graphcis that spans two pages). I don't know if I explained that very well. It of obviously awkward, takes a LOT of time and spatial memory (which causes my system to slow down a lot), and I found myself with a couple of headers that were a couple milimeters off.  I feel that I'm totally missing something: I think that the duty to spread fashion design and have the file finished in simple pages would be a common thing to do).

    I'm starting to see a trend where new users seem not to grasp the concept of what is a "page", and what is a gap. A page's layout unit, that you specify in the settings of the documents, if arranged as connected or not. A gap is a page or group of pages that are accessed by side (the first page of a book is laid out as a single page spread, for example, with pages double suite). Spreads are constructed from the pages and are a convenient way to work, allowing you to see that a reader will see in a finished printed publication and work in related pages in a single view, but they do not have magical powers to change the size of the page, just because you're looking at the two pages together.

    Pages in spreads remain independent pages. They can be moved to new locations without moving their companions, and when you print or export (with the exception of the interactive PDF in CS5 or later) by default, you get simple pages, no matter how they could be organized on the screen. You define documents as pages face to face time to display the "spreads" as a unit while you work and be able to create a "handedness" in the provision, i.e. pages that are distinctly to the left or right clearly, based on the number of page. This means that you can have different margins or headers and feet, or other objects as the color bars on the two halves of your broadcast, and that these things can be put on the master pages to apply automatically.

    If you start using pages face to face, your default master page is a double page that can accommodate this handedness. If later, you go to the preparation of the Document and uncheck the facing Pages to break out "spreads" you also lose the ability to use the left side of your master page and and if there is no asymmetry in your layout will be lost, and your document will be destroyed, then uncheck face pages prior to export is both unnecessary and a very bad thing to do.

    STIX said, if you export PDFS for printing, there is nothing special at all you need to do to get the unique pages. Just make sure that you did not check the box of spreads. Interactive is a little different. The box was apparently omitted design with the default state set to export pasta to spread (sometimes the engineers do not understand how we work as designers), but there are two approaches to the problem of spreads for export unique to interactive PDF pages. Script he mentions is easy and practical and changes the State of the missing box and is probably what you want, but it is also possible to "split" a spread in individual left and right spreads errors and they will export this way regardless of the State of the checkbox. "" The method is described in InDesignSecrets "Blog Archive" Pages Breaking Apart to bleed off the coast a spine

    One caveat, however, using the "spreads" split, is that objects that cross the spine are on one page or the other when you are done, not on both pages, so you must copy the and paste in Place where they are absent on the opposite side.

  • 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.
