Blank browser page when viewing html/swf exported from Indesign

We've created a 'flip book' in Indesign and exported it as a swf and html docs. These docs both view correctly locally, but when uploaded into the same directory on our server and viewed via safari or chrome, they both appear as blank browser pages.
html page is here: http://www.thinktankcd.com/SmartsquareBrochure_030215_test.html
Any idea what we've done wrong?
Indesign CC 2014 OSX10.9.2

Thanks Sumit, but ID didn't create any other resources to go along with the swf and html files. Besides, it doesn't need to; there are no other resources but it still works locally. The swf is a stand alone file, the html just gives access to that file when accessed via a browser.

Viewing PDF After Exporting from InDesign

G'day from Australia.
My name is Steve, I do a bit of freelance work from time to time but I'm also employed by a Christian Minstry in Brisbane.
Recently I have encountered (and not just me but my manager as well) that when creating a pdf from InDesign, Acrobat is launched for me to preview the document but it then says that it can't open the document because it is either a wrong file type or because the file might but corrupted. However if i go to the exported document and open it manually it opens fine without any glitches.
I've searched the web to see if there are any answers to this issue but could not find any.
We use Adobe Design Premium CS4 on Windows based machines. All our files though are kept on our own local server. The server however is not run on microsft software but on a Novell Software system. Before we went with Novell we used to use windows server software and there were no issues with exporting and previewing pdfs straight from InDesign. Not sure if its related but I thought i'd mention it just in case.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Steve.

What you are describing sounds like some type of file locking or caching problem on the Novell Netware side. I suspect that when InDesign's PDF export completes, it closes the PDF file on the server, immediately calls Acrobat to open that file, but on the server, either the file is still locked from when InDesign had it open for output or perhaps not all the file's blocks have been written out to disk yet. By the time you then try to manually open the PDF file via Acrobat, the timing issues have been resolved on the Netware side.
Adobe applications use standard Windows file operations to create, open, close, read, and write files. There is no cognizance of whether the file is local or on a network and if on a network, what type of server is hosting the file.
For what it is worth, Novell Netware is really obsolete server software. The last version, Netware 6.5, was released in 2003 with the last service update for NetWare 6.5 from Novell in 2008. You didn't mention what version of NetWare you are using, but if you have anything other than NetWare 6.5, I could imagine some really serious disconnects between modern Windows client desktops and the server software.
You indicated that you didn't have any problems with a Windows Server. I am amazed that any organization would migrate from Windows Server to Novell Netware anytimg during the last six to ten years, although I suspect there was some reason that somebody thought was good. However, your organization most should seriously consider moving back to Windows Server. Your PDF viewing problem is probably only the tip of the iceberg of problems you may potentially encounter.

When building a web site, how do I set up a blank browser page that I can pull html & css files into.

When building a web site, how do I set up a blank browser page that I can pull html & css files into.

David's book is a good place to start. This is really far more involved that can be covered in this forum. You'll need to get familiar with a database, most likely MySQL, PHP, how to send requests tot he database - queries - and most likely maintain a state with Sessions. As you can see, it's a bit involved. The good news is this skills you'll acquire to do this will go a long way! It will cover all the basic requirements of web application development.
Dive in, and have fun!

Web-based utility bringing up blank browser page

We are using the WRT54G router for a combination wired and wireless home network. All is working fine except when trying to access the web-based utility from the wired computer, I get a blank browser page after entering my username and password. The utility itself does not display. I have accessed it previously and know I am using the correct IP address. This seems to happen quite often. Has anyone else experienced this or have any ideas? Thank you.

You said you entered the "user name and password". I think on your router, the user name should be blank.
To view the router's web pages:
Use Internet Explorer, it usually works.
JavaScript must be enabled.
Use a computer that is wired to the router.
In the non-working computer, temporarily turn off your software firewall.
If you are using Zone Alarm, right click on the ZA icon in the system tray (lower right corner of screen) and then click "Shutdown ZoneAlarm", and see if this fixes your problem. If this does not work, try the following with Zone Alarm: Open the ZAISS control center, go to Privacy, then temporarily turn off Ad Blocking and Cookie Control, and see if that fixes your problem.
If you are using Noton Internet Security with the Add-on Pack, be sure to turn off the Pop-up Blocker. Some users have reported that they needed to uninstall the entire Norton Add-on Pack.
If you cannot get anything at 192.168.1.1 then perhaps this is not your router's address. Go to "Start" > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
A black DOS box will appear. Type in "ipconfig" (with no quotes), then hit the Enter key. Look at the "Default Gateway". Is it 192.168.1.1 ? Point your browser to the "Default Gateway", then login to your router.
If the above fails, disconnect your modem from the router, and try again. If this corrects your problem, then most likely you have a "modem-router" rather than an ordinary modem. Check to see if your "modem-router" is using the same 192.168.1.x address space as your Linksys router. If it is, then report back with this problem, and also state the make and model of your modem-router.
If all of the above fails, power down your entire system, unplug it from the wall, wait one minute, then power up and try again.

How should I tag content created in a master page when addressing accessibility before exporting to Acrobat? I can't add the content to the articles panel because it's locked. I would also like to know how I should tag my cove content. I don't want the reader to get lost in content other than the body of the report, but I also don't want to ignore some content completely by tagging it as artifacts. What should I do y'all?
Thanks,
Josh

Hi Rob,
From the screen shots it looks like your script is not formatted properly (you may refer to 'Paladin Script' in 'Sample Project' to get an idea of how the script should be formatted.).
Further please follow the steps mentioned below to use Story to PP workflow.
Create a new Film script in Adobe Story
Create scene heading – INT. LOCATION – Day (these will show up in the outline view panel on left hand side)
Hit enter, hit TAB
Enter the name of the speaker, hit TAB or ENTER
Copy over the transcribed text
Build your script this way
Number scenes from the production menu
Export ASTX file for your script : File->Export->.astx
Open Premiere Pro
Create a new project, bring in media
In the project pane, find the "Scene" column
For the clip that contains the spoken text, assign the same scene number to the clip as you have in the story script (lets say both are scene 1)
Click out of the scene box in the project panel in Ppro
Right click on the scene that you just assigned a scene number to and select – attach Story script
Select the .astx fle you exported in step 8
Click ok
You should now see the script data in the metadata panel for the clip in the metadata panel.
You can now run speech to text based on "Embedded Script metadata" to time align spoken word to the script.
Let us know if this is helpful.
Thanks

Can you have a PDF fit on the viewer's screen automatically when exporting from InDesign CS4?

Can you have a PDF fit on the viewer's screen automatically when exporting from InDesign CS4?

If you were to upgrade to InDesign CS5 or CS5.5 and if you exported as Adobe PDF (Interactive), you could set the View settings for Page Layout and Zoom.
While, as Jongware points out, its possible for individual users to override that option (Preferences > Page Display > Default Layout and Zoom), the number who will actually do that is actually very tiny.

I've recently noticed that since the last upgrade any links to pdf files on websited no longer work. All I get is a blank white page or a blank black page when I click on these links. Can I fix this?

Acrobat X: Option to hide the dotted line in between pages when viewing in 2 page view?

Acrobat X: Anyone know if there is an option to hide the dotted line in between pages when viewing in 2 page view? So that the 2 pages can look seemlessly joined, with no gap and no dotted line? This would be useful when viewing PDF magazines or books in which 2 pages join for a larger picture.

Create a Page 0 item which will be available on all pages.OMG yes I can use items in page 0 ! I should have think of that :/ Shame on me.
Application item values can be set from JavaScript using AJAX and an On-Demand Process.Yes I already tried ajax with ODP, my getappitem() function works but my setappitem() function won't assign value to application item, but it's not a problem now, I removed the ajax part and I will use page items :D
Thank you fac586.

Why certain websites appeared to be a blank white page when im using my broadband connection but appeared to be okay when using other type of internet connection?

the websites i used to surf turns out a blank white page when using certain internet connection

Turns out to be an iPhone 4 problem. I went to a store and they replaced it. No problems now. My wife's iPhone 4 also had to be replaced which is disturbing. We had the original iPhone, iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS without issue. This iPhone is not that good. It was emphasized to me the other day when I used a Razor in my house and found the voice quality infinitely superior and worked in places where my iPhone 4 failed completely (all on AT&T).
People on the other end of calls with the Razor commented that my voice sounded much better and asked what had I done (they were used to the calls made with the iPhone).
I am afraid I think that the iPhone 4 is not all it is cracked up to be. For phone use the Razor beats it hands down. Now, when it comes to email etc. the iPhone is infinitely superior but as a phone it is certainly not as good as it could be.
I am afraid that Apple may have lost the magic recipe and, if I had not gone past the return date, the iPhone 4 would be going back.

How do I link to Anchor Text from browser to PDF file exported from InDesign?

I see that this question was asked previously but not answered:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3737541
I need a way to link to topics (from an HTML page) within a structured PDF file generated from InDesign, i.e. one that has an interactive bookmarks
panel, that doesn't break the links when the file is updated.
In particular, I don't want to refer to:
* page numbers because the document will repaginate when it is updated, breaking existing links
* named destinations that are numeric as addition/deletion of topics renumbers the named destinations, breaking the links.
Is there any option in InDesign that creates named destinations derived from bookmark titles as that would seem to solve my problem?
I have a similar need, but I have not been able to find an answer anywhere online, even after a several hours of research.
I am on contract with General Electric to develop a UI Style Guide for an international team of developers. My client wants to be able to distribute the Style Guide as a PDF document, but needs to provide links to specific topics when submitting a "Story" in an Agile development environment to the programmers.
Ideally, I would like to be able to create "named destinations" in InDesign such that I can provide the client with a list of URLs similar to this format:
file:\\StyleGuide\Test1-20131024a.pdf\#nameddest=AnchorText-01
However, I can not figure out how to create "named destinations" in the PDF file from the InDesign file in which I have created the Anchor Text in the Hyperlinks tab.
Alternately, the client would be satisfied with the ability to link to specific bookmarks in the exported PDF file that have been derived from the configuration of the Table of Contents styles, but my research has led me to believe that it is not possible to hyperlink from a browser window to a bookmark in a PDF file (only to specific page numbers, search word lists, named destinations, and comments) as described here: http://blogs.adobe.com/tcs/2011/01/tcs-specific/linking-to-a-page-within-a-pdf-and-more.ht ml
Having been using InDesign since 1988, when it was PageMaker, I would prefer to use it to provide GE with the most attractive deliverable, but they are now leaning heavily toward having me licensed with Madcap Flare, which has this capability built in:
http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare9/Default.htm#Nav_Links/Named_Destinations/Creating _Named_Destinations.htm
Please help me to find a solution that will allow me to continue using InDesign for this project.
Thank you!

Follow-up post (solution is not available):
I have just completed a phone call with Gaurev Sethi of Adobe escalated technical support in which I shared my screen to explain and demonstrate the desire to link from an external URL to a specific location within a PDF file that has been exported from InDesign. After 40 minutes, during which I was placed on hold a few times while he consulted with his team, it was determined that the desired functionality is not supported in InDesign and has been identified as a limitation of the software.
In researching alternate documentation software that supports PDF export, I discovered that Madcap Software supports this functionality in its Flare product:
http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare9/Default.htm#Nav_Links/Named_Destinations/Creating _Named_Destinations.htm
Note that linking via URL to a bookmarked location within a PDF is not supported:
http://blogs.adobe.com/tcs/2011/01/tcs-specific/linking-to-a-page-within-a-pdf-and-more.ht ml
More about parameters that can be specified to open PDF files are available here:

Although the above link is for a previous version of Acrobat, I could find no evidence to the contrary in the current SDK documentation.

Preserving Black when Exporting from InDesign to PDF

Hi All:
I hope someone who knows Acrobat can help me with this. I have an InDesign file that I must export to PDF. That in itself isn't the problem. This is:
The text in InDesign is solid black (000000), but once it exports to PDF, it collects a myriad of colors and will not print preperly to the newsprint. I'm doing this for a newspaper. I use InDesign, they use Quark. The client uses InDesign as well. I can NOT figure out how to convince Acrobat to leave the color alone.
I've tried to figure it out with the Ink Manager, etc., but for the life of me, no matter what I do, It comes out as all the colors of the rainbow. It LOOKS black in the PDF, but when you select it, it is NOT black. It's a mess. Two full pages of this stuff and I'll have to redo the whole darned thing in Quark unless I can figure this out.
I have tried using "Preserve Black" once it's in PDF format, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Obviously I'm missing something in the Export from InDesign function, but I can't figure out what.
Can someone help me?
Thanks so much, in advance.

Okay. Above is the swtch from the original Color Preset. Below is the swtch after I made the changes mentioned above. I'm sure I'm not the only one who sees no difference. ??

How do i send an html file exported from muse as email blast with images and live links?

My question it:
How do i send an html file exported from muse as email blast with images and live links?
I have designed a "website" in adobe muse and exported it as an html file. I am not sure how to send my .html file in an email!
Best,
Nicole

Unfortunately, the answer is, you don't. The requirements for HTML displayed in an e-mail reader are very different than those for HTML displayed in a browser. The output of Muse won't work as an HTML e-mail. You could upload the Muse site as a website and provide a link to it in an e-mail, but the HTML generated by Muse is not suitable for direct display by an e-mail program.

Formatting of text fields when exporting from InDesign to Acrobat Pro

How does one preserve the formatting of a text field when exporting from InDesign CS6 to Acrobat Pro? It loses both the font and the alignment formatting in the PDF.

Use a font that allows embedding/ check the font embedding settings in the PDF output settings.

Embedding font problems (when exporting from InDesign to PDF)

A message alert is shown, when opening a pdf - after exporting from InDesign: Cannont exctract the embedded Font Frutiger.
We have uninstalled the frutiger font and installed an open type. But the font is not embedded anyhow..?
Can anyone help?
Thanks very much.
Jane

I don't know if you need help scripting this, but...........
If you can not re-create the PDF from InDesign using the OTF,
In Acrobat, highlight the text with the acrobat touch-up text tool, right click and go to properties. You should be able to assign the OTF font running on you system, and select the embed option.
If not, this is why PitStop is an indespensable (sp?) tool.
Best of luck
