Button on SWF to export it in PDF

Hello All,
We have created XCelsisus dashboard and have published the SWF of this dashboard to InfoView in BO.
The Users want that they should be able to execute the SWF and at the same time, they should be able to download a PDF version of this SWF file dynamically. In simple words, they want a button on this dashboard which would enable the users to download the SWF in the form of PDF.
Is this possible ? if yes, then how? If no, then can we have any workaround for the same.
Rgds,
Sree

If this is not supported directly in the SWF file, perhaps you can use a third-party pdf asp.net componenet like this:  http://asppdf.net/
The link or button calling the pdf component would sit outside of the swf html code, but within the same page..  If it can be viewed as a url, this component will mak a pdf out of it.
This assumes you are distributing dashboard as a url, not within infoview.
Hope it works for you..

  • Buttons not appearing after exporting to Interactive PDF

    I created buttons on my master page in InDesign with the event "on click" and actions "go to first page", "go to last page", "go to previous page", and "go to next page". Then I applied my master page to all the pages in my document. On certain pages I override the item on the master page and gave the button a different action (go to text anchor). Then I exported to Adobe PDF (Interactive). When I view the PDF, most of the Master Page buttons do not appear. This doesn't happen every time. I have created documents that work with this setup, but this one document will not work properly. Any suggestions?

  • WAD: Add export to excel/pdf button?

    Hi all,
    there's a standard component to add a button to export to pdf or excel format?
    Also i have another problem, in some web reports i have graphs in different containers, if i export them to pdf all the graphs in every container is exported, there's a way to customize this and export only the data from the current container?
    Thanks
    Stefano

    Hi Stefano,
    The item you are looking for is a button group. When you define the buttons you can choose eather XLS or PDF and you can also specify which objects you wish to export e.g. your container object.

  • My buttons dont show up after I have exported to interactive pdf!!!!! HELP

    Hi there,
    I am using cs5.5 indesign. I am creating an interactive document with simple buttons to move from page to page.
    They work fine in preview modes, but as soon as I export to pdf, they become invisible.
    Let me give you an example:
    1. I either create my own shape or use one of the sample buttons provided.
    2. I place text over the button along the lines of (click here to proceed)
    3. I convert to a button (if needs) sometimes i use sample buttons so that doesnt need
    4. I add a function (+ to next page)
    5. I set a rolloover state and normal state
    6. I preview it, it works fine
    7. I export to interactive pdf.
    8. The button is invisible!!!!!!!!
    Funnily enough, the additional text boxes that i sometimes place over the buttons are not invisible.......
    This is frustrating the hell out of me, i cannot find anywhere online that explains this. I have watched hours of interactive button videos and am convinced I am not doing anything wrong that they have told me.
    Please help if possible, I just want to have a simple next page button!!!!!!
    Thanks so much

    Hi there,
    Still trying to fix this problem, does anybody have even a small hint please?
    Everything seems fine, i convert to pdf and the buttons just vanish.....you can still click on the space where they were and it performs the function, just that the image or graphic that has been converted into the button is completely invisible.
    I know it seems a small thing, but I can't send my presentations out without it.
    Any help would be much appreciated, thankyou

  • Help with exporting data from pdf form

    I have about 100 pdf forms that I created in adobe forms central and distributed as a pdf form (rather than on the web). I am trying to export the data into a spreadsheet but when I export it, the fields are all jumbled in the csv file, as in they are not in the same order. I need to export the data all together so I'm going to the forms menu and selecting "manage form data" and then selecting "merge data files into spreadsheet". I tried exporting a single file but that gave me something really weird.
    Please help, I have a deadline next week to analyze this data and can't make sense of it once it is exported to a spreadsheet.

    Would you please share your form with me and send me one of your pdf forms and some of the csv files?
    You can share your form by doing the following:
    1. Click on the “Share” icon on the bottom left corner.
    2. Click on “Add Collaborator” on the popup menu.
    3. Enter [email protected] under “People to share with”.
    4. Set subject to "Export data from pdf form"
    5. Click the “Share” button on the bottom right of the dialog.
    Thanks

  • Can a SWF file resize in the PDF when user zooms or goes 'full screen'?

    Hi,
    I've got some animation in my Indesign file which I've exported as a SWF and brought back in to InDesign.
    I then create the Interactive PDF. It has a white background, so I select it in Acrobat and got to PROPERTIES and give it a transparent background.
    BUT, when I go full screen or above 75% - the SWF shrinks on page.
    The users of this PDF will need to zoom in, or go full screen. I really need the SWF to be resizing as the user goes full screen, or views it however they choose.
    Is there a way to set the SWF to resize with the PDF?

    Let me guess. You’re using InDesign CS5 and never bothered to install any of the patches.
    Download and install 7.0.4.

  • RGB color in inDesign changes (washed out) after exporting it to PDF

    Hi,
    I am new to InDesign and i have a hard time figuring out how could I export my InDesign file to PDF without affecting the color.
    This is what I do.
    1. I created a new document with Transparency Blend Space set to Document RGB
    2. I created a box using the rectangle tool and filled it up with RGB color, R=126 G=12 B=110
    3. The color in Indesign is just how i wanted it, however, the problem arises when i export the file now to PDF
    4. Instead of the color i wanted, the color was changed to a lighter color, or washed out.
    5. THis happens even in text have the same RGB setting.
    How could I export it to PDF with the same color, without being washed out?
    I really appreciate your help on this. Thanks.

    That sounds like the Color Picker, which works a bit differently in ID than in Illustrator or Photoshop. If the cursor is not in one of the RGB fields when you say OK you won't get RGB color. You can see this by noting the text in the Add ... Swatch button. My guess is you added the color as the CMYK conversion which is a bit lighter.
    You might want to use the panel menu in the Swatches panel instead, or the new swatch button at the bottom of the panel while holding down the Alt key to open the new swatch definition dialog. You want to create a Process color and change the type to RGB, then enter the values in the RGB fields. Or if what you want is really Pantone 249U you can define a Spot swatch and choose Pantone Solid Uncoated and then specify the 249. I'll warn you though, that CS6 uses Lab values for displaying spot colors and 249U is considerably lighter than either the RGB you specified or the 249C. In earlier versions the book value conversions were used. Even when using Lab display values through Ink Manager in CS5, the coated and uncoated swatches incorrectly look the same in ID, and in Illustrator CS5 you would need to turn on overprint preview to see a difference.
    Here are a couple of screen captures from PDFs exported from ID CS5 and CS6 using High Quality Print. The colored boxes with the lables were pasted from Illustrator CS5 to be sure I was using the same color definitions and that theywere behaving as native objects. Below are the same boxes placed:
    and here is how the screen looked in CS6 in ID (notice the difference in the placed .ai file -- the screen preview is NOT using the Lab values, although it exports with them):
    I don't know what the content is and how you present it, but it doesn't sound like a web page. That said, if you choose Web for intent in Document Setup you can still use print size paper sizes for the document and change the rulers after the doc is created to read inches or millimeters or other units of your choice instead of pixels and the file will use default RGB swatches and default to RGB when making new colors.

  • PM 6.5 Export to Adobe PDF

    Using PM 6.5 under MS Vista I can´t create PDF-files by  "export to Adobe PDF". Need help.

    Ofrahim wrote:
    Using PM 6.5 under MS Vista I can´t create PDF-files by  "export to Adobe PDF". Need help.
    Firstly, Adobe don't support PM6.5 on Vista, for this kind of reason. PM's "Export… AdobePDF…" was never the most robust of macros so I'm not surprised it goes belly up with Vista.
    You could try this (copied from the now defunct PM FAQs), assuming you have a version of Distiller (4?) installed.
    The two stage Print and Distill process
    Stage1:
    First, "print" a PostScript file by going to File>Print.
    Select a PostScript printer & PPD from the output device (ie: Linotronic or Prinergy), or preferably the Acrobat 5 Distiller PPD.
    If you use Acrobat 6, use Adobe's Generic Postscript Printer by installing Adobe Universal PostScript Windows Driver Installer (winsteng.exe) from Illustrator's install disk or at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=1500, choosing "Local Port" and "File."
    It's also recommended for all computers in your department to use the same PPD that is used for writing postscript files as the "Compose to" printer to avoid recomposition.
    In PageMaker’s Print dialogue, click on the "Options" button, and check "Write PostScript to File." Select the "Normal" radio button. Set both Type 1 and TrueType fonts to download. As always, set the Send TIF/Images option to "Normal" and NOT Optimized. Make other settings elsewhere in the print dialog as desired, such as "paper" size, crop marks, separations, etc. You’ll see the Print button has now become a Save button. Click Save.
    Note: If your going to create a PDF, always use the Distiller PPD.
    Stage 2:
    Launch Acrobat Distiller.
    Good practice in general is to check your Job Options prior to distilling, because you’ll need to change these depending on if your PDF is destined for high-end output or just web viewing - more on that in another post below - but pay special attention to the compression and downsampling options. These will have a very noticeable effect on image quality vs file size. Navigate to the PostScript file you created and open it. Alternately, you can "drop" the .ps file onto the Distiller window. Your PDF will be created, and, provided your PM document was clean to begin with (graphics Placed and not Pasted, EPS and TIF graphics only, properly managed fonts, etc) you should have a good PDF.
    Best of luck.

  • Is it possible to place a video into a circle frame for export as interactive PDF?

    I've been trying to figure out how to embed video files into a circle shape frame for export as interactive pdf. Every time I export the document as interactive PDF, the video frame reverts back to a rectangle shape. Basically what I'm attempting to do is embed a .gif like animation of a face (saved as mp4 because it's my understanding that PDF can't support gif files) in a circle frame that plays on document load when exported as interactive pdf. Any suggestions, bypasses, solutions would be much appreciated. 

    Correct! Good solution!
    But you missed a couple steps in your directions:
    (1) Make a rectangle filled with Paper color.
    (2) Make a circle filled with None (this will be the mask for the movie).
    (3) Move the circle over the rectangle. Select both and choose Object > Path > Make Compound Path. This creates a paper-color rectangle with a hole.
    (4) Position the rectangle-with-hole object over the movie to position the mask.
    (5) Use the Buttons and Forms panel to make that object into a button. Give it an action of playing the movie.
    (6) Choose File > Export > PDF (Interactive).
    It works because the button (which has interactivity) is atop another object which has interactivity (the movie).
    Brilliant!

  • Interactive PDF–buttons working in preview but not in PDF

    I have a series of buttons that reveal hidden graphics. One of those hidden graphics is a background layer, in a separate layer, that should appear when a button is clicked. It is showing up, but in front of all other content, even though the layer is in the background. I have nothing else on the background layer. Also, the preview in InDesign shows this working properly, it's the exported Interactive PDF that is having problems. Any suggstions?

    Show/hide buttons can let you show and hide graphics which have been themselves turned into buttons. But in InDesign, they cannot control the visibility of layers. I think that's because of the way buttons are handled in the PDF file. I think the buttons themselves are seen as a separate layer above the "content" of the PDF.
    You can change layer visiblity with buttons but not in InDesign. You have to do it in Acrobat.
    Create your layers in InDesign. Export as a PDF but in the Export Adobe PDF dialog box, you must select Acrobat 6 compatibility and check Create Acrobat Layers. This takes InDesign layers and makes them PDF layers which you can work with in Acrobat.
    You can either create the buttons in InDesign or in Acrobat, but controlling layer visibility isn't an available action in InDesign. So you'll need to change their action WITHIN ACROBAT.
    In Acrobat, you can choose View > Navigation Panels > Layers. You can turn the eyes on and off to control visibility like in InDesign. Then set the layer visibility the way you want the first button to set and set the action for the first button to be Set Layer Visibility. When you click Add. It sets the visibility to the current state. Repeat the process for the second button.
    In InDesign CS5, to export buttons you'll need to choose File > Export > Adobe PDF (Interactive). Check Acrobat Layers.

  • Export data on pdf-form to Excel

    I would need help for exporting data from pdf-form to Execl spreadsheet
    the basic idea is that a pdf-form would be the user interface to collect the data with text boxes / drop-downs (such as "Vendor", "Purchase order number", "Date", "Text" etc.) and after the data is filled on the pdf-form it would be easily exported (with button?) to one certain Excel -file.
    The Excel-file should have similarly named colums and the data from pdf-form would be exported always to the next empty row.
    PDF FORM
    Excel -spreadsheet

    Thanks but this is not quite what I was looking for
    The idea was that the user would fill-in the data on the pdf -form and from there this data would be exported to one named Excel-file ( = data exported always to same Excel - file / to the next empty row)
    So this Excel -file would act as a summary file / database from where the collected data could be easily sorted etc.
    Another issue is that I'm looking for easy solution for the exporting fuction (e.g. button + java script) so that also the "dummy users" could operate this

  • Button problems when including a video. (interactive PDF)

    I am having issues when exporting my interactive PDF from In-design. On a specific page with a video included, the buttons with actions to next and previous page do not seem transition to the next page like they do throughout the rest of the PDF. It barely responds at all, if I click it over and over it sometimes goes to the next page but its not a smooth transition. I am using the latest adobe acrobat pro to view the PDF. If anyone has an answer to this problem it was be a massive help.
    Cheers
    Kyle

    There´s something you can do, but you will need Acrobat for that.
    That dotted line is a preference element called Focus Rectangle, you can hide it manually in Preferences > Forms > Show Focus Rectangle (Uncheck) or you can add one line of javascript to document level or for instance page 1 (if you change it in your preferences, only you will see the effect naturally), so javascript method is probably better in your case.
    If you want to add that javasctript to page 1, simply open thumbnails panel, select page 1 thumb and choose Page Properties from panel menu. Go to Actions tab and choose Run Javascript and click Add. Then paste....
    app.focusRect = false;
    ....to Javascript editor and click OK (few times, until you are back in page view). No your user will run that javascript command everytime he/she opens the page 1 and hides that dotted Focus Rectangle....
