• 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.

  The latest (15.x) version of the Acrobat Reader software for iOS only runs on iOS 8.

• 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 files with iphone and ipad compatibility

  I created an interactive pdf using page transitions IE. stores and the opening on an iphone or an ipad, the transition from blind page does not work is this normal?

  Interactive PDF is nothing else than a roll of the dice on mobile devices and highly dependent on the reader app installed.

• Interactive PDF - iPad & iPhone capacity

  I've got this client who is eager to create an interactive PDF form for them (no problem) and put a link on their website for people to view online. However, they would like as the PDF to be pulled up to an iphone or ipad if necessary. I don't have much experience with this, so I don't really know where to start. Any suggestions? Can someone point me in the right direction?

  The key point is that not all PDF readers can properly manage forms. Here are some comments I made on the subject of the capacity of the iPad/iPhone PDF reader:

  For the interactive PDFS, not all readers are equal

  If read you them in order, you will see that the free Adobe Reader is getting better that I wrote in my first article.

• 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.

• Ways to publish an interactive file on ipad?

  What are the best ways to publish an interactive file, created in InDesign and on PC, an iPad? Will there be interactive tools in InDesign which cannot be used during the creation of this interactive publication?

  ^ Law. Fixed layout EPUB is currently the best option for InDesign from interactive content for the iPad.

  Interactive PDF is possible but very limited, even if Adobe Reader is used, especially if we consider a number any readers PDF non-spec your audience can run.

• Ability to attach an interactive pdf to DPS? (& Perpetuate interactivity)

  Hello

  Is it possible to open an interactive pdf of a DPS app and keep the interactive living

  (buttons /textboxses / submit / send by email)?

  I know how to make a zip and link folder to the document form a button (HTMLResources/filename.pdf)

  But the PDF is flatten, and the document is useless for my purpose.

  It would be great if it worked, and Adobe DPS could be even more convenient is it up-to-date

  I know it is also possible to import html in indesign, and I tried to do a form in Dreamweaver.

  The shape is lovely on the Ipad and the buttons / text fields work. But when I press submit (mailto url) enamel opens... But no data follows.

  (Maybe something wrong with the form of course)

  If I could link to Adobe Reader (when the document already exists) the DPS - app... This could be a solution / and interactivity works in player of...

  But I found no way to do it.

  My wish for the DPS of the future, is that it would be more like MUSE. More options / menus and no coding

  If anyone has any good ideas on this issue, please let me know.

  No, interactivity in the PDF file is lost when displayed in the browser in app. Adobe Reader on the iPad does not support interactivity. Unfortunately, you need to use HTML for this type of form fill in.

• Creating interactive PDFs for Mac preview?

  I use InDesign CS3 on a PC and creating interactive PDFs for my clients. I just found out that when the interactive PDF is opened using the preview, all layers are displayed at the same time... Is it possible to produce an interactive PDF that works of the same aperture and read by Acrobat and an excerpt? Help, please!

  As much as you cannot believe that it is a problem, it is indeed a problem. The reason that the application overview of Mac OS is so light and fast is that she is not completely and correctly implement the complete PDF language specification. Preview is OK, open the simple PDF files made from simple Word documents, e-mails, spreadsheets, and PowerPoint presentations, but it often miserably fails on all that is graphically rich with significant amounts of and/or complex live transparency. There is nothing Adobe can do about it, other than to warn the creative professionals and other users Macintosh of the problem. Adobe Reader is free, whereas in reality, the problem is minimal if the user is ready to install the player.

  Note that PDF is a fully documented ISO standard. It is not a question of not having Apple does not have access to the PDF language specification or having to reverse engineer any technology. At this point, Apple seems to believe that his product preview is good enough for the majority of its customers.

  Note that the preview for iPhone and iPad iOS version is even more problematic than the MacOS version!

• 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.

• 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

  Ian
