Interactive PDF button problem

I created an interactive pdf to InDesign CS5.5. I added buttons on the pages of navigation through the pages of the pdf file. The pdf file has worked flawlessly until someone tried to open the pdf file in Acrobat 6.0; all of type (fonts) on the buttons have become jumbled, as if the police were missing, but the fonts are embedded in the pdf file.

I need this pdf file to work correctly in all versions of Acrobat and Acrobat Reader, as many customers view the pdf and I don't have any control over what version they demand.

I thought that I could solve this problem by simply creating outlines on the policies. This has not fixed the problem, it's actually worse. When I did the new interactive pdf, after creating the contours on the buttons, the text on the buttons is no longer visible, he disappeared.

Does anyone know any workarounds or fixes for this issue?

You say that in recent versions of Acrobat, the buttons look and work correctly, no?

And it of only when you try to open a version of Acrobat, created in 2003, nine, you have a problem?

I think you're setting up unreasonable expectations. There is actually a problem more serious than that and much more likely to happen: use many users Mac Apple Preview to view PDF. interactivity largely fails when seen in preview.

The answer, in my view, is to tell your readers they must download the FREE Adobe Reader software, or use a recent version (tell Reader 8 and higher), and if you are that they use a different drive they can get unexpected results for the visualization of interactivity. And provide a link to download the FREE Adobe Reader software.

  • Interactive PDF buttons

    I'm an interactive PDF using navigation buttons. Part of the time that I am using the next or previous page that work well. There are other times where I'd use "go to page" but this option for the buttons is not available for PDF files, only for sovereign funds. Does anyone know a workaround for a link to a page with a button? I'm not familiar with the use of hypertext links, but I guess it's only for the text and I use objects.

    You can use 'Go To Destination.' A destination would be the text anchor point (you do not have to attach objects to the anchor). Just put an anchor in the location that you want the button to go to and then specify the destination for the button.

    Take a look at panels bookmarks or hyperlinks for more information about the create destination anchors.

    This approach is often more useful than to jump to a page, because pagination can change, and the anchor is also a place more precise (which will remain with its neighboring text if the document expands or reduces).

  • Can I create a 'share' in interactive PDF format button?

    Hello

    I would like to create a 'share' in an interactive PDF button. I want to set so that when the reader clicks on the 'share' button, it opens a window in their e-mail client, with the PDF file as an attachment. Is this possible? I don't want to use all the social media channels to share the PDF file, only through their customer e-mail as an attachment.

    Thank you

    Ross

    Yes, in the event the mouse to the top of the button, select an action to "Submit a form" and specify a URL of type mailto as:

    mailto:[email protected]

    Don't forget to use lower case for "mailto" and do not include any spaces. Select the entire PDF file to include, as opposed to FDF/XFDF/HTML.

  • My interactive slide show does not include any new content once exported to interactive PDF

  • Interactive PDF Web sound-problems buttons will not play on the other, and ugly gray boxes are visible

    When I export my interactive pdf file and open the html or swf file, it works exactly as I want it, but it works on my computer because I have all the links and resources on my computer included in a zip file. The only way I can get others to see it seems to be downloading the zip on dropbox and others who download and then extract files, which is not practical. I would like to integrate the interactive pdf on a Web site or a blog, so it does not directly on the page without having to download all the recources publishes the new web feature seems it might be a good solution, but when I try to publish, it is not working properly users.

    Screenshot (148).png

    My project is to play several audio files on the other, so if a user clicks a button sound is read, and if you click on another button, the first sound will not stop, they will play together. So, for example, if you click on the top button, a beat will play, and if you click on the guitar slot, a guitar sound will play on the beat. It works fine on my computer in the swf or html file, but for some reason any when I publish it to the web, it will only play a sound at the same time. The pace will just stop playing if you click on one of the instruments, which makes the entire project useless. Another problem is that I can't seem to remove the gray boxes without taking away his ability to make it sound. The first photo is that it is supposed to look like, and here's what it looks like when I publish it to the web:

    Screenshot (147).png

    In addition, as you can see, it does not export as interactive PDF, it exports an indd file. It's clickable and interactive however, just with a few bugs.

    Can someone either help me to correct the parameters in the function of online publication, or to teach me another way to incorporate the project on a blog or a website?

    Thanks in advance.

    Interactive PDF is a roll of the dice in a browser and using SWF out from. He died a technology as it is and will work on any mobile system, or on a desktop computer that does not have flash player installed.

    Without knowing what you were doing, it is impossible to tell you why post them online does not work for you but you should really take the time to know what interactive feature are and are not supported with each format.

  • Interactive PDF to Indesign CC 2014 button problems

    Hi, I make an interactive PDF for a presentation in Indesign and came with a few problems. I put the next and previous buttons whose fine workmanship, but I can put cursor anywhere on the page and click on and it will go to the next page that lays off the next button. Is there a way to disable this option. The following problem is I created a few roll on buttons and put them to go to a certain page, but when I did the PDF don't work the roller more works fine but when I click on these. I chose OnClick for button function.  Can someone please help with these problems

    Thank you.

    Ben

    but I can put the cursor anywhere on the page and click on and it will be presented on the next page

    This is the default behavior, and there is nothing to prevent a user to the next page with a click of mouse.

    I have created a few roll on buttons and put them to go to a certain page

    "Go to Page" action is SWF or HTML5, is not actionable in PDF. For the PDF, you can use the "Go to Destination" action instead. Define all first Page, or anchor text as a hyperlink destination.

  • 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

  • can radio buttons show/hide the info in an interactive pdf?

    Hello. I have a question to which I have been faced with during some time... hoping someone can help.

    I create a document in InDesign CS6. It's basically a guide with a joint questionnaire.

    I have forward and back buttons work properly - so that they take you from one page to another.

    However, the more difficult question is I want to have interactivity with the use of radio buttons and eventually the check boxes. Thus, for example, on page 1, I have a question multiple choice where there are three choices. Clicking the wrong answer shows a block of text saying 'no it's wrong' and clicking on the appropriate radio button shows the words "Yes, correct."

    I have created three blocks of text and make it into a multi-state object.

    Three problems:

    1. option buttons seem to be the option for "the State" in the buttons and Forms dialog box
    2. even if that were the case - the State Road seems to be only swf, non-interactive pdf form - is there a way to change this?
    3. script assuming that there IS a way, everything can be put in place so that instead of using radio buttons I have use of check boxes that only give the correct answer if the correct check boxes are selected.

    I would stick to indesign to do this, however, I think that the option is perhaps more suited for this problem?

    Many thanks in advance,

    SunsV

    1 - make 3 images and convert it into boxes option...

    Text blocks 2 2-make (Yes, his right) (No, the wrong) and convert it to buttons - rename it (Righ, evil)

    3 - Click on each radio button and apply action: Show/Hide button and form and on the visibility to activate the globe eye for buttons wrong or right.

  • Interactive buttons disappear on PC interactive PDF export

    Hi guys, I have a big problem, export an interactive file:

  • Two problems with MP3 files for interactive PDF files

    1. I put in two excerpts from interview to an interactive pdf. Last week when I tried to import the first MP3, I had him "cannot place this file. "Error message no filter for the requested operation." I don't know anything about audio files, so I tried just to MP3 on the App store, which has converted my MP3 file to another MP3 file, I guess. The new file has worked well.

    I got the second file today and had the same problem. I sent the following URL (esign-cs5-which-was-edited-with-audacity-and-converted-with-switch, http://indesignsecrets.com/forum/general-indesign-topics/how-to-place-an-mp3-file-into-ind http://indesignsecrets.com/forum/general-indesign-topics/no-filter-found-for-requested-ope mp3-ration) I found which seem to describe problems similar to our sound guy at work. He tried to reduce the bitrate, but it won't do any good. So when I got home, I tried MP3 and it solved the problem again.

    Anyone know why this is happening?

    2. once I got the first audio file in place, I wanted to replace the little gray box that Acrobat highlights. Bob Levine suggested

    http://InDesignSecrets.com/hiding-sound-files-in-an-interactive-PDF.php

    that worked great, but I needed a way to control the sound. I tried a variant of Steven Werner suggestions in

    http://InDesignSecrets.com/hiding-sound-files-in-an-interactive-PDF.php

    It was working fine, when I was just a play button / pause, but when I added a curriculum vitae, the play button just stopped working. I tried all kinds of variations, to get rid of stocks double in the buttons from the new files, new buttons, but the play button just didn't work. In my last essay, the play button worked, but only after I had press resume. So I'm completely puzzled.

    Any suggestions would be welcome. Thank you.

    I use InDesign Mac OS x 10.6.8 7.0.4

    Not really sure on the second part, but I've seen the behaviour you describe with video files. I have just run through Adobe Media Encoder.

  • interactive PDF using Indesign CS5.5 problem with overlay

    Hi all

    I designed an interactive pdf - not for the web. I have a stratification of problem on a page. On the page, there are 6 buttons. Each key pressed will propose a box containing information and content. When I designed the page using indesign cs5.5, I did so that most information box has been at the top of the layer. I thought this would be the cleanest way to present the page. By having the largest area of content (each of the six boxes of content are different sizes) in the upper part, it would cover the other boxes. When I exported the file to the smallest box was the head, and then the secondest etc. It seems pretty messy.

    Is there a way to make sure that the lagest content area is upstairs when it exported in pdf format?

    Concerning

    Have patience!

    Have you tried to put this bigger box on its own layer at the top?  I don't know much about buttons etc but if you expect someone coming here makes.  A large number of contributors are in zones different, but...

    Could be done by two buttons in InDesign, where, after the click, the button mask itsself and shows the second orange 100% button. Need you a "reset" button but to show the first button again if needed later.

  • Buttons for interactive PDF forms

    I've created a report of 140 pages in Indesign and have used interactive buttons on almost all pages for users can click on back to menu, homepage etc.

    However when I export it as an interactive pdf, it opens in Acrobat with the purple shape bar on top - that says "Please fill in the following form" (I don't want because the document is not a form). I understand that this occurs if a certain amount of buttons is used in an interactive document, is there a way this can be removed?

    I remember adding a little bit of security to the PDF file as not being not would not be able to make changes, but I could be wrong.
