Interactive PDF features in CS6

• Why is the compatibility between interactive pdf and acrobat dc so bad?

  We used Indesign CC14 make interactive pdf with a lot of hyperlinks on the huge books. With the new Indesign CC15, all target links are wrong, the interactive pdf is ok on a desktop computer, but failed on Ipad and Iphone. There is no compatibility between adobe acrobat and adobe acrobat reader DC.

  Before an another upgrade to Indesign CC I want questions to be resolved on.

  Here's the reality: PDF readers on mobile, including those from Adobe, have limited support for interactive PDF.

  This is not new: I wrote about this for years and the situation has not changed:

  For the interactive PDFS, not all readers are equal. InDesignSecrets

  There are readers who support it, but you may have to pay for them. Try PDF Expert of Readdle (US $9.99).

  It has nothing to do in particular with the latest version of Acrobat DC. It is one of the many readers on iPad, iPhone and Android that do not support interactive PDF features. Some features will not work, some will not.

  That's why many of us are moving the fixed layout EPUB when we want to view interactivity or animation.

• 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.

• Streaming video to interactive PDF

  I read everything I can on this subject, and although it seems that I should be able to do, I couldn't so far to make it work!

  My dilemma: Create an interactive PDF to InDesign CS6, and I would include links to various video streaming in the pdf.  I would like that they are running in the PDF (as a floating window), not going out to the web browser to users.  I would like people to read, and then play that their new if they wish to listen, aka, loop, I guess.

  My attempts: I created the play button (to start the video) in InD and when I exported in PDF format, I tried to put the video up there.  I had minimal success with this route.  I have also tried to do all this directly in InD, including the link to the video, but had no success.

  I downloaded two different Flash players for replacement and tried to make two of them work, but without real success.  However, I admit well that I'm not as technically savy as what they expect, because I don't really understand the whole of the party "do this in Java.  I tried to copy their stuff of script in and replace my info where I've seen it do, but apparently, there are other ongoing things that I don't get.

  Help!  If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be very happy.  Or even if there is a place you can fly me to learn how to do it, I'll go.  So far, most of the stuff has been programmatically over my head, although I'm not a new user to the Creative Suite, unfortunately, it was all impression.

  There is currently a limitation in the way that InDesign CS6 implements rich media, as well as the floating window options are not available if the media asset is referenced with a URL (there is no technical reason why it wouldn't work and it may well be possible in a future version of InDesign, but I make no promises). You also can not work around the problem by placing the SWF player widget, as InDesign doesn't let you define FlashVars or attach resources to an annotation of media.

  Yes, in your case it would be more effective to work on the videos in a separate vacuum if you do not trawl by a too complex structure tag, then copy / paste them in the actual file.

  In terms of the marking system forum, that a response can be "correct", but several can be 'useful '. It's your choice as to which is which.

• Embedded in interactive PDF videos play slow

  I created an interactive PDF using Indesign CS6. It's a pdf page 43 with a 5 video embedded on these pages. When the final PDF file to play on a PC, videos seem to play very slowly after viewing a previous video. It seems that there is a kind of ongoing background process once video playback that hinders playback of the video. Does anyone else have this problem?

  Thank you

  Open the PDF in Acrobat, right-click on the video and choose Properties, then in the "turn off when" field select "page is closed.

• How to create interactive pdf to Ipad using InDesign CS6

  Hi I created a layout of Magazine using InDesign CS6 and wanted to be read on native Ipad reader (but not apps).  I put interactivity features like hyperlinks and page navigations and converted into interactive pdf file. The problem was the links and buttons are not displayed on the Ipad.

  I tried to use Acrobat Pro to create hyperlinks, and this time the navigation and hyperlinks are. But is there a way does not create hyperlinks manually one by one (especially the next page and previous page). If I have more than 100 pages of documents, this process will be very painful.

  Is there a solution to create interactive pdf directly from InDesign without creating links in Acrobat?

• 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.

• Cs6 InDesign crashes when exporting objects with shadows in interactive PDF format

  I use the trial version of InDesign CS6 on a mac OSX 10.7.4 that I need to export my document as an interactive PDF. I found that the export works very well as long as none of the objects in my document were a shadow. However, if I add a shadow to any object (text, images or video) InDesign will crash when I try to export. I'm adding the shadow by selecting the object and choosing object > Effects > drop shadow. Is there another method I should use to add shade if I want to export to an interactive PDF?

• In preview, can I listen to audio files in an interactive pdf?

  We did a huge interactive pdf file in InDesign, with text and sound and video files. They read well both in Acrobat Reader on imac and a PC with Acrobat Pro. The file opens in the application overview on imac, but then the audio files and video files are not possible to open. Anyone know if there is a feature to listen to sound files in the application preview or Acrobat Reader is that so?

  If your A / V files are not also playable in the preview, then there is no configuration preview that will change this fact, and the interactive visualization is Adobe Acrobat Reader on the Mac.

• 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.

  

  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:

  

  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 print

  Thanks in advance for your help. I'm using CS6 running 10.7.5. IM InDesign to an interactive PDF export. I have windows pop up to show the tables and larger figures. They can also be closed. Customer is on a PC. They try to print the PDF and tell the pop - up windows print so even if they are closed... Not a problem on my end when I print. Thoughts?

  Hi Rob -.

  It depends on how you've structured the content pop up. You have created as layers? Or are they buttons? If you dig into the structure, look for stocks where you can set tables/figurine as hidden until Active zooms. I can't tell you specifically without knowing how you structured content. Also, for your zoomed objects, if they are keys, you can specify that they do not print, which will certainly take care of the situation.

  I hope this will at least help you get started.

• I have created a form in Indesign. Is there a way to create the default text in a text field that displays the interactive pdf "insert text here" in the text field?

  I have created a form for the company, so that I work. It is a form that will be used in several offices and has buttons, drop downs and text fields. One of the text fields has a requirement that when the PDF file is opened, the text field has something written in there already, as an example (and one only) INSERT the TEXT HERE. I created the text field in Indesign and used the text tool to type in the area of the body-copy required. After that I have to export it as an interactive PDF, text in the text field disappeared.

  Drop-down lists give an option for a default choice, but I don't see a way to create default text in the Panel of buttons and forms for text fields. Is there a workaround or a hidden feature?

  Thank you!

  Set it in Acrobat.

• InDesign cs5 for vector files alt text doesn't work when not in interactive pdf

  I am creative and interactive pdf newsletter which must be compatible with accessibility. Text alt for jpg, psd, etc work fine, but no alt text appears for the pdf files or have. Wendeth63 asked a question similar May 13, 2013, but it refers to eps files. I have experienced by changing the background from transparent to solid, but nothing works. Now that the accessibility compliance is mandatory in many places, it is a pretty big bug.

  Without the feature changed massively in CC and CC20015, as object Export Options have been introduced, and they are now included in the object Styles which can attract this meta out of the file, making it effective to change the meta in Bridge information, place the image in a frame with a correct object style.

  But with CS5 you are out of luck and you will need to do in Acrobat.

  Here is a screenshot of the style of being in 2015 of CC:

  

• Can I create a complex interactive PDF with switchable image fields and the embedded font styles

  I am wanting to create a "partner of the month" model that allows the user to change the name of the partner, month, year and have a space to upload a photo, all of them with a specific font embedded style to maintain the identity of the brand. Is this possible? I never went too deep in the interactive PDFs outside of internal and external hyperlinks and text fields, but even with these fields, it was not but police regardless of the system of users being implemented. I'm basically wanting to create a content generator base which can be read and completed with Acrobat Reader.

  You can create an Adobe form in InDesign (CS6 upwards) which you can refine and player activate Acrobat Pro. You can include text fields that the end-user can supplement, but they would not be able to download an image in it, that the installation is not available.
