InDesign CS5 or 5.5 Interactive pdfs - create a button for printing?

Hello beautiful InDesign experts.

I am creating an interactive pdf using CS 5.5 and would like to have a button on each page which, when pushed, opens a print window (if the user can print the page, or a range of pages, if they want to). I know you can do it for the finished pdf in Acrobat, but prefer to keep everything in InDesign, if possible.

Thank you much in advance,

Lisa

No, you cannot add a "print" button in InDesign. To be assigned in Acrobat.

  • How to create 2 buttons for printing on a sql report?

    Hello
    I'm working on the apex 4 and 11 GR 2 database, I set up bipublisher for advanced printing.
    On a sql report I want to have excel button and a Pdf with the redirect URL button.
    I don't know how to specify the output format in the URL.
    I see in the help
    "use the output format derived from the option element and include the name of the element and the value in the URL of your impression."
    but I'm looking for an example of a URL.

    Best regards
    Jean-Marc

    So, you must specify a hidden item that contains the value, then specify the name of the item in print attributes (mine is P5000_TYPE)

    Then you'd have button redirect URL:

    JavaScript:Redirect('f?p=&APP_ID.:&APP_PAGE_ID.:&session.:FLOW_XMLP_OUTPUT_R1483125430108678:::P5000_TYPE:PDF'); and
    JavaScript:Redirect('f?p=&APP_ID.:&APP_PAGE_ID.:&session.:FLOW_XMLP_OUTPUT_R1483125430108678:::P5000_TYPE:XLS')

    to print in pdf and xls respectively.

  • That charactersets are supported by interactive pdf created to identity card? (Norwegian SEO missing)

    Charactersets are taken in charge by interactive pdf created to ID6? (Missing Norwegian SEO). Interactive PDF created in Acrobat 10.1.16 is fine, but interactive pdfs exported ID to Acrobat miss special characters like SEO in areas such as textfields and Combobox. Some fonts special as well as whites replaces missing characters. All solutions?

    There is a bug in previous versions. If you can put to update or upgrade, that you should do, the fields open in Acrobat Pro and put in place a different font. Then, it works perfectly, but would be better export with an updated version.

  • Interactive PDF: creating forms and anchor text field

    Hi, I'm new to this and have an urgent job, so please help:

    I create an interactive PDF file, adding fields of text placed above the lines and wonder how I can:

    1 ANCHOR these fields for text, we use for photo boxes or anchor text... and

    2. place the text fields anchored above the lines that I typed in the space allocated for this text field.

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    You can use an anchored object. Place your cursor after the text and create an anchor, this will put an anchor point. Once the image is inserted, it can be converted into a text field. Use the 'Relative to anchor Marker' option, which will allow the anchor around if text is added.

  • Interactive PDF (drop down boxes) for iPad

    There are 'none' work around an interactive PDF on the iPad? More especially drop-down boxes! I have software that makes my life a lot easier if there is any way to do this or the other third or open on an iMac and save another way?

    For the particular shape in question, it was written (probably initially via algorithms of recognition of land) with multiple instances of a drop-down list and a text superimposed on another field.  Because the text field's before the menu drop-down order to field/tab, tap, it is processed first by the Mobile Player.  That's why your experience when you use the Mobile Player is one of a text field.

    The areas of Desktop Reader process in the order opposite of field/tab (order), so the experience the user will see is a drop-down list.

    I can change the Mobile Player in the fields of process as the office, in the reverse of field/tab (order) so that both products are compatible.  This help you in the short term, however.  To make your form work in the short term with the existing Mobile drive, you can remove the text fields that overlap (they are named as "undefined_n", where n is a number).  On a brief look, these text fields that overlap do not seem to serve a purpose (that they seem not to contain a hidden value or participate in javascript, for example); They seem to be the effect of a kind of (imperfect) automated field recognition algorithm.

    Hope this helps,

  • Interactive PDF: flipping scalable button images seem to break up when they overlap

    Hi all

    In my interactive PDF, I have rollover buttons that resizable overview.  The buttons are close together.  When I put the cursor on a button and go to the other in Adobe Acrobat format, it seems to be brief I snap the picture.  I think this is caused when the images are superimposed.  It would be very attractive to my client.  Is there a setting that I can use to prevent this?  I feel I have tried all the settings in the Export menu, I'm looking at you all for the advice.  Here is a link to the PDF in question.  Thanks for helping me with this.

    The only thing you can do is to stop the overlap of the buttons.

  • Create a button for inserting into a table

    What I can't do, because I've never needed, is to create, in a page (where I have an interactive report), a button is clicked that once performs a simple sql (for example, an insert into a table using the values of page element).

    How can I do?

    Thank you

    Here are some of the steps:

    (1) create the button.

    (2) then right click on the name of the button and select Create Dynamic Action

    (3) give it to DA a name, click Next

    (4) on the 'when' step, event should already be "Click" and the name of the button must be filled

    (5) for the Condition, you would have a condition when you want that the display of the button.  Say, if your page elements have a certain range of values, and then display this button.  No condition means that the button is always displayed.

    (6) for the 'real Action' stage, action, select "run the Code in PL/SQL.

    [There are other ways to do this, but it's simple for me.]

    (7) in the Code PL/SQL block, enter says:

    Begin

    INSERT INTO EMP (EMPNO, ENAME, HIREDATE)

    VALUES (: P6_EMPNO, 'MARK1970',: P6_HIREDATE);

    COMMIT;

    END;   -You'd probably all the variables page element

    (8) here the part I'm not sure 100%.

    For items to submit "Page, name used in YOUR QUERY - in my example page elements, these are P6_EMPNO, P6_HIREDATE (don't note any use of & or: or here.)

    Hmm.  Start by putting nothing in "Page of elements to return.   If that fails, then try the same elements of page P6_EMPNO, it P6_HIREDATE as well.

    [I'm too lazy to go running at present].

    (9) I think that's it.

  • What is the best way to prepare a pdf of 2 colors for printing?

    Hello

    I'm a book printed in 2 spot colours, black and orange, as you can see below.

    I am making images in Photoshop and then recording the 2 layers as in grayscale TIFF images that I can layer in InDesign using the multiplier effect. I use a shade of color, then make the background orange.

    The problem is this, printers that I use asked to export it to PDF / X-3: 2002, but when I do this the black lines are lost. I wonder if there is a better way to prepare the image for printing? Someone recommended save each layer as a bitmap 300 dpi for me but the quality is not always look great.

    Does anyone have advice? I hope this makes some sense!

    Thank you

  • Unable to get Windows XP computer to creat Wi - Fi for printer.

    I bought a HP Officejet 7500 a E910 printer all-in-one.  I have set up for wireless connection.  I was able to access the printer to two computers Windows 7, but when I tried to connect to a Windows XP home computer, I was not able ot creat an access to the printer port.  The wireless network is really operational.

    I tried to install it using the wizard wireless, selected local printer option, then "create a new port" found "Port Discovery from HP (HP Officejet 7500 E910) monitor on the list but he was informed that"specified port cannot be added'. '.

  • Create a button for af:table #{bindings. Create.Execute} - problem

    (JDev 10.1.3.5)

    I create jspx - then drag af:PanelPage on it - then drag af:table on it - then drag the create operation as command button on the facet of the action table table.
    Then I throw the jspx, it shows the existing records in the af: table.
    Then I click on the button create and nothing visible happens.
    Then I click on the button create new and I get the new blank line in af:table. But at the same time, I get a few messages Houston, complaining of certain values of the required attributes:
    1 Houston-27027: missing required attributes for a line with key null of type HgpAppModule.HgpGeologijaTalView2
    2 Houston-27014: attribute HgprId...
    Then, I can enter the values in the empty line and do validate and line is stored in DB. But if I click the Create button once again, everything behaves as the first time.

    It is obvious that something is happening behind the scenes (new line added in VO/iterator?) even to the first click. And to the second click, there's attempt to add another row behind, but because of the required values (defined on EO) the JBOs are displayed.

    You must use the createInsert instead of the create operation operation to get the behavior you want.

    Hello

    You can make a count_query on the block to get the no. documents and then use a get_block_property ('', query_hits) to get the value.

    For ex.

    go_block('my_block');
    do_key('COUNT_QUERY');
    message(get_block_property('my_block',query_hits));

  • Cannot place and Indesign CS5 created swf save into a file, Indesign CS5?

    I hope someone can help me?  I created a SWF animated in Indesign CS5 using the amination and deadlines of the panels for use in an interactive PDF.  The SWF exported correctly and plays as expected in the browser.  However, when I go to select the swf file to place it in my Indesign file its greyed out and cannot be selected.

    I tried essentially to follow Rufus Deuchler method to integrate animations in a PDF file http://tv.adobe.com/watch/csinsider-design/indesign-creating-interactive-pdfs-with-page-tu rn - and - flash animations /. In the video's swf is available for selection when you use the command import and everything I found on the talks from web on the importation of the SWF in indesign files as a standard feature in CS5 and CS5.5.

    I tried to re export the swf file under different names and in different folders. Quit Indesign and restart; try to place the swf file in a completely different indesign file. through all the Indesign preferences to see if there is an option to "activate" swf import and I have even tried doing Rufus and export options exactly when you create the swf file.  Nothing has worked.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I have screenshots and the swf file, I'm trying to import that I can email if anyone would facilitate my growing frustration.

    See you soon

    Pete

    What OS?

    Other swf files work?

    You can drag-and-drop the SWF file in InDesign?
