Adding Navigation Buttons for Users of PDF Documents

The default for Acrobat Reader (and even the Pro version)
seems to leave the Forward and Back navigation buttons OFF the
Acrobat Reader tool bar. You have to deliberately go into the Tools
- Customize Tools menu and turn on these two buttons in order for
them to appear in the tool bar. This creates problems for readers
of your PDF documents if the readers of your documents aren't very
computer savy. If you have links in your PDF document so readers
can navigate around, not having the Forward and Back buttons up on
the tool bar as a default makes these links almost useless. The
reader has to know how to turn these two buttons on and some
readers may not have a clue how to do that.
My question: Is there a way to put 2 navigation buttons on a
reader's toolbar AUTOMATICALLY when they open your document--ie,
something embedded in the PDF doc that automatically turns these
buttons on for the reader so they don't have to do it
themselves?

Looking for help for sharing pdf files with ipad from mac. Pages only recognizes text. What app should I use for file sharing pdf documents?

Looking for advice on how to share pdf files with iPad from Mac. Pages seems to only recognize text. What app is recommended for pdf documents?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
If I understand your question, you want to read pdfs on your iPad, not create or edit.
Drag pdf files to the iPad icon in Finder while connected to your computer via the USB cable.
They will show up in the iBooks application
(If you don't already have iBooks, it's a free download from the App Store.)
Once installed, there are two buttons at the top left of the Bookshelf.
One is Books, the other is Collections.
Tap Collections, and you'll see Books and PDFs.
Tap PDFs and you're there.

In making a form, I've used buttons for user to select a state. Can I make it go to cities next?

I don't know the correct terminology, so I don't think that I've posed my question very well. Employees will be using the form that I'm trying to make, and I want for them to be able to select a city from a large number of cities, and for that city to ultimately show up on the form (not merely in the data that is output.)
I thought that the clearest way for them to select a city would be for them to start by selecting the pertinent state first. That would allow the list of cities in that state to be shorter and more manageable. So I'd like for them to be able to select a state, and then by virtue of that selection, have a list of cities pop up. I sort of achieved that by using buttons for the states, and then under "actions", I chose "open a file". Then I set it up to open a file that contained the cities that are options,and set each city with a button.
The result is that it goes from my form to a second window, containing states and then to a third window, containing cities. (Actually, there are multiple "city" windows because there's a list of cities for each state.) But then I'd like for the city that they select to wind up being on my original form. Is there an "action" that I can choose that will make that happen?
Or is there a better way to accomplish what I'm trying to accomplish? Maybe I'm just going about this all wrong(?) Any suggestions would be very much appreciated Thank you!

Yes, there is a much better way. I'd recommend using a combo box for the list of states. When the user selects a state, the list of associated cities would populate a second combo box, allowing the user to select a city. This type of functionality relies on JavaScript. If you are unfamiliar with with JavaScript in Acrobat, I'd suggest starting with the following article: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2007/js_list_combo_livecycle/
Ignore anything to do with LiveCycle Designer. If you get stuck, post again.

Adding/Modifying a "Stamp" on a PDF document

Are there options within Adobe to (1) create a PDF version of a supplier's invoice, allowing the person creating the PDF file to include a "stamp" that shows what general ledger account(s) the invoice should be coded to; and (2) allow another person to edit that stamp by applying his/her initials of appproval?
A good internal control environment suggests that the person doing the initial coding should not have the authority to also apply initials of approval. I'm thinking that there's a version of Adobe Acrobat that allows for differing levels of access to a given PDF document?
Many thanks,
AlbertaRedneck

You can't alter the contents of a stamp after it's placed, but another stamp can be placed on top of an existing one. The first stamp can also be flattened, converting it to regular page contents, and the initials stamped on top.

A solution for batch print PDF documents

Dear,
   I use a command line to auto print some PDF documents as below:
   C:\>AcroRd32.exe /h /t PDF_file_name printer_name
   the printing is no problem.
   But when I use the command line to print a large number of PDF files, there are a problem, for example:
   There are 3 PDFs that I want to print, they are 1.pdf, 2.pdf and 3.pdf
   I sent command one by one like below.
C:\>AcroRd32.exe /h /t 1.pdf printer_name
C:\>AcroRd32.exe /h /t 2.pdf printer_name
C:\>AcroRd32.exe /h /t 3.pdf printer_name
But the hard copy from the print are:
first print: 1.pdf
2nd print: 3.pdf
3rd print: 2.pdf
what can I do for this case, I want to get the output seq. will be 1.pdf, 2.pdf, 3.pdf.
Thanks.

KingPool's snarky response notwithstanding (he appears to have some financial interest in “pushing” sales of PrimoPDF), your need is real and your observations do correspond to the reality of printing. The fact is that when you use spooling under Windows, the application program actually can complete spooling of the file to the printer before that spooled output is ready to be actually transmitted to the device. The print process is a multiple step, asynchronous process.
To absolutely force printing in an exact order as per your scenario, go to the printer's Properties and select the Advanced tab. The printer is probably currently set to Spool print documents so program finishes printing faster with either the Start printing immediately or the Start printing after last page is spooled option selected. Change that to the Print directly to the printer option and then press OK. This will force printing in the order that you specify. Note however, that this forces Reader to wait as the document is fully printed and then terminate. You should reset that spooling option when you are done with this batch printing operation to regain system performance.
Alternatively, another approach you could try would be to hold the particular print queue before running your commands. Then, after ascertaining that all the print jobs are on the queue and ready to be printed, release the queue. The jobs should print in the order queued. And finally, if there still is a mis-ordering of the jobs, after holding the entire queue, put a hold on all the jobs, release the printer queue, and then release the jobs in desired order.

Creating navigation button for an iWeb websites

I have a website I created using the hosting company's templates. I'd like to create a new website using iWeb. Regarding the basic navigation buttons, there is one button that will say, "Services" that should bring you to the main services page and also give you the option to click on a series of services. In other words, the buttons for the individual servcies should appear when you click on the mains service button. Is this possible and if so how?
BTW, I have read that there is a new version of iLife coming out soon. Does anyone know when?
Thanks,
Bob

in your main timeline's first frame add your button and in the properties panel assign an instance name (eg, btn) and use:
stop();
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,f);
function f(e:Event):void{
play();

How to disable navigator buttons for editable rowset

Hi All!
Is it possible easily to disable delete button for editable rowset?

Hello Francois,
Thank you for your fast reply!
I tried your recommendation, but got the following result:
When I have a label of "& OK" with the blank symbol as ALT-255, the Button in the Alert Box still has the focus. It seems as if there now is a blank in front of the OK (which is underlined). This does not really solve my issue, because the Button still has the focus and that should not be. The best solution for the user would be if he only could accept the message with a mouse klick.
Is there an other suggestion?
Thank you so much!

Configure Drop off library with no permission for users on target document libraries

I have configured content organizer feature and created 3 rules with 3 target document libraries.
Users have only permission on drop off document library.
When they upload, document is moved to target doc lib, but pop-ups message saying you do not have access to view.
Is there a way to stop that message from showing?
We do not want to give permission for users on target libraries.
Thanks,
Abhilash

As per my knowledge, you cannot supress this message
However, you can create a redirection script on Upload.aspx page which will redirect users to home page once document uploaded.
Here is an example of same:

Adding a button for PDF pack to desk top

Just want to know how to have a button on my desk top since I have an account for the PDF pack ...Adobe If you can tell me how to do this. Send email [email protected]

You can attach the audio to the Success caption of the button. Make the Success caption a transparent caption without text and it will be invisible to the user, but the audio will play when the button is clicked. Be warned though that stopping the audio from such an arrangement is not as easy.

Override navigation buttons for branching slides?

Hello,
I'm developing a lesson in Captivate 5.5 that uses a navigation bar throughout (forward/back arrows, progress bar, etc.); however, I created a branching activity in which I don't want users to be able to navigate using the forward/back arrows. Is it possible to override the navigation bar on individual slides, or is there an Advanced Action that I can create in order to accomplish this?
The issue is that the activity is branching, but not locked; in other words, learners can get halfway into the activity and decide to jump out and continue on with the lesson. If they do this, when they click the forward arrow they'll have to view all remaining slides in the activity before reaching the true "next" slide in the lesson. I've created custom "continue with lesson" buttons, but the issue with the forward/back button being active still remains...
Any thoughts are much appreciated!

Hello,
Is this on of the Captivate playbars? There is a system variable cpCmndShowPlaybar. Its default value = 1, which means the playbar is visible. You can set it to 0 on entering the slide where it should be hidden, and again set it to 1 where to display. No need for an advanced action, this system variable is available in the dropdown list in the Action accordion of the Slide properties. Choose Assign as action for On Enter, then from the dropdown list select the system variable

Adding a button for a task

We need to add a watermark regularly to documents. Can we put some sort of button on the toolbar to do this?

Adobe Acrobat v8.0.0
PDFs are usually created from Quark to postscript & distilled through Adobe Distiller Professional 8.0.0
To clarify, I know how to Watermark the document, but would like a button on the Task Bar so it's a one-click operation, regardless of which PDF I have open.
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Custom buttons for control 3d PDF Animate

I am currently using the 3d PDF Animate program distributed by Tetra4d to animate some 3d models that I imported into a pdf. The only actions that the default buttons provide are Play, PlayAll, Pause, Preivous, Next, First, and Last. I am trying to create a button that would play specidic steps without having to hit next or previous to get to it, but nothing I try seems to work. I have no experience in java or javascript so i am basicly just trying to piece things together based on what I see, but as I said, nothing is working. If anybody has any experience in the program, I would sure appreciate some input.

There are two ways to animate the contents of a 3D annotation - either the keyframe data is stored within the 3D model itself (as a timeline) or JavaScript is used to move each element based on a ticker loop. In both cases there must be a JavaScript controller function attached to the 3D annotation in order for control buttons to work, and when that code is added by a commercial plugin it is usually obfuscated so it cannot be modified.
Aside from inspecting the internal structure of the file, you can tell where the animation comes from by how the inbuilt controls work. Open the properties of the 3D annotation in Acrobat Pro, go to the 3D tab and 'Clear' the embedded script (don't save the file!). Re-activate the 3D scene, and look at the popup toolbar. If there's an embedded timeline, the play/scrub controller on the 3D toolbar will work. If it doesn't, the animation is script-controlled.
With embedded timelines there is usually only one animation (which covers all steps), and the various buttons assigned by the plugin simply refer to start/stop times within that animation - the 'play all' button simply tells the script to ignore all the intermediate markers. If you wanted to play a particular step, you would have to work out the time (in seconds) that the step begins and ends, then add your own code to play through only that range. However, given the code already attached to the annotation cannot be edited or removed without breaking everything, and a 3D annotation cannot have more than one attached script, the only option to make even a minor change would be to write it all again from scratch. That's the disadvantage of using tools like this - they make one thing very easy, but in doing so make it next-to-impossible to change the end result.

How to set a button to flatten & email PDF document

Hi everyone, I am new enough to form creation and have a request for any help?
I have a form I would like to give to someone.
They should be able to fill it as they need to in reader etc. (with various basic fields and an incrementing number for each form used which I have already put in) then they need to press a button on the bottom that will flatten (or make the form read only) and attach it to an email. I would like this to be able to save as to say iBooks on an iPad and to a folder on anroid tablets. Is this possible?
Also, if possible, is there a way to have it that the details entered could be transferred to a secondary pdf? As a kind of summary page?
I have only basic knowledge with all of this and little of Javasript so if there are scripts to put in, could you say where they go? Also Im making this in Acrobat 9 pro.
Thanks so much for any help offered.
Ian.

Actually it depends on how your DVD is set up and your menus.
Often we have movies with Audio Commentaries or Subtitles. Now you can get all complicated and have a Setup page etc or... you could have say an extras page which has a button that says somehting like Play Movie with Audio Commentary. In your timeline you have you movie with it's normal sound and then below that you have a second audio that is your commentary
Click on Play Movie with Audio Commentary button. In the Inspector (usually Bottom Left of the screen) you'll have the button Target as the movie. Below that you will see you have Streams with Drop down menus. In Audio select the second Audio Stream in the drop down.
Same goes for Subs which you'll see is there also. It all depends how you have your project set up and what you are trying to achieve.
This can also be achieved with scripting - which would probably be needed if your requirements are more complex.
Hope that helps

Approach for user to view documents of other geo than he is part of

Hi All,
In our KM landscape, every document is assigned to some geograhy for example North America.
Every user account has attribute Geography which may have one or multiple values.
Our requirement is :
for example Once the user belonging to North America geography logs in to portal, he will be able to see all docs which belong to North America.
He should be given an option to select Latin America(through custom development ) and once he selects other geo, the documents belonging to that geo should be shown..
This is technically possible
My question is what are the eligent and possible approaches?
Regards,
Ganga

Hi,
For this purpose, you can also use the KM Search Iview and have different search results depending on different user geograpies. Here you can also allow user to select different geograpies of his choice and Iview will show respective results.

You can also create a custom component, which will use KM Indexmanagement APIs for searching with TREX, to show different documents depending on user geo choice.

Also explain, what you mean by:
custom redirectors or layout set filters for filtering in you previous reply.
