Buttons and Hyperlinks

I watched a tutorial earlier today showing that Buttons can be interactive within a iPad app, but I cannot get my app to have working buttons.
When I view a preview with the SWF preview everything works ok. But when I view with the folio preview/ on my iPad, it does not work.
Also I wanted to have the hyperlinks outlined with a gray color, which I did when I created the Hyperlink through the options, but it is also not showing up when I actually add an article and preview my app. I am thinking it is a similar issue.
Does the folio app not support interactive PDFs properties?
Please help!

That's a decent training video, but the guy really shouldn't use the SWF Preview panel to preview DPS content, especially not without mentioning its limitations. He should have chosen File > Folio Preview or clicked the Preview button at the bottom of the Overlays panel. The SWF Preview panel happens to work with some DPS features such as buttons, but it's for SWF, not DPS.
Here's a list of supported/unsupported interactivity features:

Problems with Long Interactive PDFs with Extensive Interactivity via Buttons and Hyperlinks

I have inherited a project which requires the creation of large interactive pdfs with lots of buttons and hyperlinks. I am having continuing problems with buttons not working and long periods of wasted time as attempted exports fail.
Background:
The largest books range from 264 MB to 411 MB – (764 to 1024 pages). Per book, the maximum number of buttons on each page is 16, linking separate files (subsections) in the book via text anchors. The buttons are created using Master Pages which are set for each file (subsection) in the book. 50% to 60% of the pages in each file (subsection) will also be referenced as 2 hyperlinks. One is the source page hyperlink on each workflow and the second is a listing on the source page as a possible navigation path. I have created hyperlink destinations for each page which is used to generate the source and navigation hyperlinks. With 2 hyperlinks representing 50%-60% of the pages - that means the largest book contains a maximum of 1200 hyperlinks. Each file (subsection) also has it’s own separate TOC and the bookmarks that are created (optionally) during the TOC creation process.   As currenlty formatted, the book is primarily images of workflows which mean 50%-60% of the pages contain pdf images.
Several questions:
1. How do I get my buttons to work consistently? There is nothing worse than working hard and then ending up with faulty product. I have been thinking about combining all the files into 1 document per book. Then I could change the buttons to objects, add a hyperlink over each one and set them for a specific hyperlink destination. Can I do that if the buttons are on Master Pages? Can InDesign handle a document with 1024 pages?    I can't fix the problems in Acrobat later because it would mean 1024 fixes for just 1 button correction.
2. How do I stop InDesign from freezing when exporting these large pdfs? It seems to wait until the final steps to crash which sometimes means a 4-6 hour waste of time per export.
3. Are we making a mistake using pdfs as our workflow images? I'm not pleased with the quality of the images we have and wonder if we switched to another image format if this would improve the results.   Would it be worth the effort and relinking? I have been reading different information on what the preferred source image format is for InDesign. One article I found yesterday says using pdf images is a problem. Another site said the Photoshop, TIF and JPG are preferred but PDFs were also acceptable.
4. Do I need to propose scrapping InDesign as the source of the project? If so, what application can better meet my needs?

Those are the limitations you have to put up with.
Apple doesn't follow the PDF spec. It chooses which PDF features it will support.
As to the version number (v5 or v6 or the new multimedia features in v9), there is different support in different versions of Reader/Acrobat as the product has developed. You just need to post a message to downloaders that they need to view the file in Adobe Reader version X or above to get the best experience.
Other industry standards face the same problem: How can you add new feature like multimedia? You can't always be backwards compatible.

Do buttons and hyperlinks *have* to submit?

Hi,
I have an application that uses javascript driven pop-up windows much like dialog boxes. In either a button or hyperlink component, I put the following in it's JavaScript onClick event:
window.open('faces/RoomList.jsp','ChangeRooms','width=755,height=530,scrollbars=yes,location=no,menubar=no,directories=no,status=no')That works fine, except that no matter what, the original form also gets submitted, albeit with a null navigation case so it just re-renders. Unfortunately, I don't want this behaviour on the original page since I do a certain amount of processing in the prerender method, which of course gets called when that original form is re-rendered as a result of the click that opens the JavaScript controlled pop-up!
Is there a way to get either a button or hyperlink to just open the pop-up and not submit the original page at all?
thanks,
Paul

One other tidbit of interest (at least to the Creator team). Every time I use such a pop-up window, the following exception is recorded in the App Server logs. It doesn't seem to harm anything as it all works, but it's there every time.

Any tips for ensuring that checkboxes and hyperlinks work in ePubs?

Can anyone help and give tips on how to get the check box buttons and hyperlinks to work when exporting to ePub? I must be missing something but no matter what I do they will not work when exported to ePub from InDesign CC (current version). I have to make these work for a book that's going on sale by the weekend, so any help will be gratefully received!

Fixed or Reflowable EPUB?
Fixed Layout EPUB in the current version (InDesign CC 2014) cannot represent text-based hyperlinks. It's a limitation until the next version.
There is no support for PDF forms in EPUB (checkbox buttons).

Pop up windows and hyperlinks on websites - Virus???

I hope someone can help me with this pretty fast since I can't figure out how to fix it anywhere, and it slows down my working progress.. I recently started to get a whole bunch of pop up windows (usually when I click on a "search" window, for instance google) and hyperlinks on random words on the web-side I'm on (it can be any word on youtube, facebook, everything that usually are not a link). I've seen more people talk about macdefender etc, but I can't find this anywhere on my mac, so could it be anything else? And what should I do..?

I ran Adware Medic and it did not find any adware. The problem still persists.
That is either because your problem isn't actually due to adware, or you've got some adware I've never seen, and thus have never incorporated into AdwareMedic's signatures.
First, take a look here at some alternate, non-adware-related solutions to the problem:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/unsolved.php
If none of that helps, you may have new adware. In that case, take a system snapshot with AdwareMedic and submit it. I'll take a look and see what I can find.

Dynamically creating buttons or hyperlinks

Hi all,
I am new to JSF and I am having some trouble. Hope you can help.
Situation: I have a database that contains contacts (i.e. names, addresses, telephone numbers, etc). I want to display a list of contacts in a table. For each item of this list I want a link in order to come to a detail screen of this item.
Creating a table that displays the names is no problem. However, the button (or hyperlink) seems to be problematic. I have looked in the archives and have found some people asking similar questions, but no alternative approach was really described. (See http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=427&thread=448135) I am wondering what the best approach is at this moment in time.
Patrick

Roger,
Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunatley, JSF does not do what you suggest. The id's that it generates are all the same.
Here is the jsf page:
<f:use_faces>
<h:form formName="form1" id="form1">
<h:panel_list id="contacts" >
<h:panel_data id="contact" var="contact" valueRef="searchDatabase.queryResult">
<h:command_hyperlink actionRef="searchDatabase.select" label="View Details" commandName="submit">
<f:parameter name="contactID" valueRef="contact.contactID" />
</h:command_hyperlink>
</h:panel_data>
</h:panel_list>
</h:form>
</f:use_faces>
And here is the resulting html:
<form method="post" action="/wc2/faces/protected/search_database_result_test.jsp">
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6" >
<tr>
<td><a href="# onmousedown="document.forms[0.id0.value='submit'; document.forms[0].submit()">View Details</a><input type="hidden" name="id0"/><input type="hidden" name="contactID" value="1216"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a href="#" onmousedown="document.forms[0].id0.value='submit'; document.forms[0].submit()">View Details</a><input type="hidden" name="id0"/><input type="hidden" name="contactID" value="1432"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a href="#" onmousedown="document.forms[0].id0.value='submit'; document.forms[0].submit()">View Details</a><input type="hidden" name="id0"/><input type="hidden" name="contactID" value="1511"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a href="#" onmousedown="document.forms[0].id0.value='submit'; document.forms[0].submit()">View Details</a><input type="hidden" name="id0"/><input type="hidden" name="contactID" value="2871"/></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
See the problem... all id's are the same, i.e. "id0".

Color Buttons and YouTube link

Hi,
in the increasing amount of apps, interactive PDFs and swf e-brochures one has yet again so small hiccups, where you
desperate because you often about dr. google does not find solutions. But maybe you can help me?
Owned buttons with mouseover from gray to blue to remain blue when you click activation.
Unfortunately I do not get out that you can help me?
I also have a hyperlink set, the linked directly to a movie on youtube. I give the link directly into the browser one,
it works. As a hyperlink set, and swf in html, it did not work. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance & best regards
Lil.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer!
Sorry, I've probably put a bit unlucky me. Of course I put the buttons and buttons in
InDesign with functions and gimicks, but the output is a html swf file (e-brochure for web).
But I have tonight found a solution that works great!
Thank you! LIL.

Best way to create a popup spreadsheet from a button or hyperlink? Perhaps even without macros?

So the spreadsheet would be contained within the popup above the initial workbook worksheet and could be
closed/dismissed.
What are the best options?

Hi,
If I understanding correctly, you want to click the button or hyperlink and then a new worksheet popup from the initial workbook, right? If it is, there is no Excel feature like this, we may need to add a command button and use a macro.
Sample code:
Dim WS as Worksheet
Set WS = Sheets.Add
If I misunderstand, please let me know.

Links: Active and Hyperlink Styles

Hello,
Curious to know...
I have a button and it has design properties set for the active state...
The active state visual design properties are different than the other button states (normal, rollover, down)
The button's hyperlink is targeting an anchor on another page...
The button persists on both pages...
When I publish/preview, the active state is not showing after click
I have checked the box inside the hyperlink dialog to show active states
The button itself has no hyperlink styles defined or set however.
Do I need hyperlink styles defined and applied to the button before the active state will show?
Am I making any sense?
thanks. I guess I could run through an exercise to find out but I was here so I thought I'd post the question.

Thanks for the reply. Sounds like my understanding is correct then as it is the same as what you describe.
However, something is wrong with my current setup here:
http://samplelawsite.businesscatalyst.com/legal-definition-and-examples-of-services.html
Background:
Stage element "BTN: Legal Service 1":
... is a text frame with a (1px white) border for normal, over and down states.
... has hyperlink styles applied (text should underline for hover and active)
... has an active state that is different from the other states (changes white border to match background; simulates border disappearing).
Stage elements "BTN Legal Service 2":
... is a button widget object with different design properties for the active state (no border for active)...
Each element described above should take the user to a page anchor (on same page) when clicked.
The active states do not show as expected/intended...

My buttons with hyperlinks are not browser compatible

Hi, I've created an InDesign document that has simple buttons with hyperlinks and rollover stage. I have saved the document as an interactive pdf and uploaded to the site, when checking for browser compatibility, the hyperlinks are not working on Firefox 19.0.
Does any one know how to fix this problem?
Here is a link for reference:

I just found the answer in the following thread
Hyperlink reuse
go to the New Hyperlink button at the
bottom of the panel or to the submenu in Hyperlinks, I can go to Shared
Destination and...it DOES work. Thanks.
Follow-up question: do I need to make all of the hyperlinks I create with
Shared Destination or only those that will more than likely reappear in the
document?

How to use one pop up window for multiple buttons and input fields?

Hi Experts,
I have created a pop up window that will be opened from multiple buttons in the same view. There are input fields that the data will be populated from a pop up window. How can I set up which button that a pop up window is opened from? I also would like to populate the data from a pop up window to the input field next to a clicked button. There are 6 buttons and 6 input fields that share the same pop up window. I would very appreciate your responses.
Thank you,
Don

Hi,
Try creating 2 context attributes, one in your component controller and the other in the pop-up view. Bind the attribute of pop-up view to the component controller attribute.
In the main view, on click of every button set a unique code in the controller's context which helps you in identifying the button clicked. Since u have created a binding to the pop-up view attribute the value flows from the controller.
In the init method of your pop-up view, check the value of the attribute and based on that display which ever UI elements are required.
Eg:
On Button 1 click set value "B1", Button 2 value "B2" etc. In the init() of pop-up view u can check the values and perform the required operation:
if(("B1").wdContext().currentContextElement().getButtonIdentifier()){
else...{
Hope this helps you.

Adobe Photo Downloader has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Error Code: c0000005
Address: 75e32f71
I clicked on the OK button and the downloader closed.
I did a search on this error code (c0000005) and there seems to be a workaround but no solutions, why is this? I ask that because this problem seems to be years and years old, going back to at least 2005 (do the math that is 10 years).
I don't even have the Camera hooked up and I get this error on download. I redownloaded everything and reinstalled. I allso saw the AVI issues reported with this proble so i updated Quicktime though without the camera being hooked up when I get this error I didn't expect that to work. I tried support and they wouldn't help because I bought it in March this year. Pretty frustrating as I have re-purchased Elements about every 2 years. I think I might need a new CODEC? I had this problem on an Earlier version And I seem to remember that being the Fix but this may be something completely different

I finally found that it was missing a picture so the Catalog was "corrupted". I just deleted the picture and it started working.
I hate Adobe and their total lack of support - thanks for nothing Adobe . Also get this - they offered me to upgrade to 13.0 ( My 12.0 is only 6 months old but they still don't support it on errors. Only install errors!
I have upgrade and repurchase this product 4 times now. I will find something else next time!
