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?

Parameters values not appearing after Export()

CA Forum: Exporting
Hi All,
I had passed in a Parameter value for the Report Subheader. It shows up find in the Crystal Report in the Viewer, however, after I Export() to either RTF/MS Excel/MS Word, the field will appear as empty string. Please advise on how to go about solving it.
Best Regards
Sindy Lee

Hi
The values in RG1 register will flow only if your J_IEXCHDTL (excise item details table) table EXBAS (excise base value) should be updated. If this is not updated then system will not bring the excise values in RG1 register.
In order to ensure that J_1IEXCHDTL table EXBAS field is updated please mark you pricing condition conditon category as "H'-Basic Price in V/06. By this EXBAS field will be updated with excise base value.
Please note that for already created document system will not update this value.

CA Forum: Exporting
We have recently upgraded from Crystal Enterprise 9 to 10. We have one user (so far) that cannot export reports to excel or any other format. Other users are not having the same problem. The usual save dialog just disappears and the IE window closes returning the user to the report history page.
The user is using the latest IE6, office 2003 and Windows XP with all current patches. We have check all IE setting and nothing is out of the norm.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The PDFMaker function of Acrobat 9 is not compatible with Office 2010: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/compatible-web-browsers-pdfmaker-applications.html
You can use Acrobat 9 to create PDF files though by choosing File > Print within Excel and selecting the Adobe PDF printer.
Wish I had better news for you!

Buttons not appearing after given time

Captivate is driving me absolutely mad...
I am attempting to make an elearning app with audio narration
on some slides, and some quiz slides and branching. I have set the
default slide display time to 600 sec. I am using audio files for
narration and want captions to appear at strategic points in the
slide. I made the captions and positioned them where I want them on
the timeline, then changed their properties to "Display for rest of
slide".
When I preview the slide in the Captivate interface, it works
fine, but when I publish the project (or do a full preview), the
audio plays but the captions don't appear unless I click on the
"Play" button in the Flash player controls underneath.
I have downloaded Captivate 4, as I was having similar
problems in version 3 (except that in version 3 the audio didn't
play either!) Was surprised to find the same problem - surely this
is a really standard thing to do... so what am I doing wrong?

Hi there
600 seconds? Seriously? OMG, that's ten minutes!
Personally, I would never recommend having a slide longer
than maybe ten
seconds. I'm not sure how you even manage a timeline that
long.
At any rate, whatever floats your boat I suppose. My guess is
that you have some object (Click Box, Button or Text Entry Box)
that is sitting on the timeline and pausing things before the
button you wish to see has a chance to appear.
Cheers... Rick

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

Video not playing after exporting to Epub or pdf

Really need some help here!
I was making an ebook project with Indesign CS6 and was planning on putting some interactive videos which can be played in the ebook. However, after I've followed all the instructions online for placing video content into indesign and export as either interactive pdf or Epub format, the video I placed cannot be played and not even showing on Epub file.
Could someone help me to solve this kind of situation? Is there any setting I should make and I did not for exporting interactive video content?
Thanks

Thanks for replying.
1) The video I placed was in mp4 format.
2) On Media panel, I checked Option: "Play on Page Load" ,
                                            Poster: "From Current Frame" ,
                                        Controller: "SkinOverAll"
                                           "Show Controller on Rollover"
It worked fine on preview mode.
Now that I know Adobe Digital Edition doesn't preview video, and when I exported as interactive PDF format, the video frame cannot be clicked or played.
3) I was trying to export as EPUB3 and interactive PDF format
4) I was using Adobe Digital Editions and I did not know it doesn't preview video.

Issue while exporting an interactive PDF

While exporting an interactive PDF I am getting the below issue.
The Go to page button is not supported in PDF. The button appearance will be preserved, but its interactivity will dropped.
Please let me know the reason@

Although the Go to Page action is not supported for PDF, you can simulate the same action by first creating New Hyperlink Destinations > Page(s). Then select the “Go to Destination” action, and select the Destination > Page #

Hyperion IR 9.3.1 - Issue in printing the report after exporting it to pdf

Hi All,
I am facing a problem in printing the report after exporting it to pdf format using Hyperion Interactive Reporting 9.3.1. I have set page size of report section to 11X17 inch landscape. Now I am exporting this report section to pdf. Report gets exported to pdf with size 11X17 inch landsacpe. But when I am trying to print this pdf it is shrinking the documnet size to A4 size paper and printing it rather it should print it on 11X17 inch paper size. Please suggest if there is fix available for this issue.
Thanks
Ujjawal

"File > Print Setup > Paper > Size" on PDF.
I think this issue is only to do with the printer and not IR.
I think the question now is "Can your printer print 11X17 pages or not".

CS6: Exporting to Interactive PDF Freezes

Hi guys, I'm relatively new with InDesign and currently I'm having a problem with exporting to interactive pdf. My version is CS6 8.0.1
I'm drafting a booklet for a school and each page looks something like this:
The picture here shows page 28-29 (top) and 30-31 (bottom). Each of these are linked AI files. These AI files have linked jpegs or psd files in them, with types and basic vector objects.
Then I tried exporting to interactive pdf -->
however, InDesign keeps freezing around these page ranges:
I cannot click cancel nor anything except force quitting InDesign. Tried again, same thing happened. I thought maybe I was too hasty so I went to grab dinner which took about 30 minutes. Walked back into my room, InDesign never completed the export, so I force it to quit again.
After a few times, I'd thought the problem could be with the AI links in page range 30-31 where it keeps getting stuck. I experimented by deleting 4 linked AI files on top of page 30-31:
And now I can export to interactive PDF successfully. I opened up the pdf with Acrobat Reader and everything seems normal.
So I'd figure that there's a problem with one (or more) of the four removed linked AI files. But just to be sure, I tried exporting it again [i]without the 4 linked files[/i]. This time though, the same problem occured - InDesign freezes while exporting PDF and I can't do nothing but force quit the program.
I then tried exporting page 1-29 by itself (the range which seems to be fine) multiple times - no problem. I've exported page 1-29 five successive times in a roll with no problem.
Then I tried exporting page 30-35 (the rest of the book), then here's what confused me even more. I can export it successfully the first time. The second time though, InDesign freezes again.
I then tried exporting page 30-35 over and over to see get a feel of ratio between successful vs failure. The result is erratic. I failed once, then successfully exported page 30-35 three times in a roll. After getting three successful export, I tried exporting the whole book again - to my surprise, this time it went through. Checked the pdf with Acrobat Reader, everything looks fine. Then I tried exporting the whole book once more, and again, it's successul. However, the third time I tried exporting the whole book, the program freezes again.
Now I'm not even sure what to think. What is root of the problem? Is it InDesign itself, or is it the linked AI files toward the end of the book? To give you more information:
- the first 29 pages are not entirely consisted of linked AI files unlike page 30-35. Page 1-29 overall is lighter while Page 30-35 consists off linked AI files that take more space
- I've updated all the links. There's no links with triangle + exclamantion.
- I use iMac 10.8.5 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 16 GB
I can continue working for now since I've successfully exported a copy for my client, but it bounds to happen again. Any advice is appreciated, thank you!

Hi Ankit, thank you for your reply.
I've managed to update InDesign to 10.8.5 from 10.8.1
I downloaded the newest version of AAM, and after installing it, the updates under help menu in InDesign finally notified me that there were updates to be made.
Back on exporting to interactive pdf issue, still doesn't solve the problem.
If I export the whole document it keeps freezing; however, if I split by exporting page 28-31 (pages where it usually get stuck) by itself, then exporting the rest without page 28-31, then it works. I can get around it so it's not a big problem anymore, but I'd like to get answers to why InDesign would behave this way. Was the overall file too big so it froze? Would be nice if in the future I don't run into a similar problem - it takes time for me to export different sections of the book to avoid the program freezing, then it takes more time for me to merge two pdfs into one.
Here's what I've done so far:
- clear InDesign preferences
- disable Extensis plug-in
- migrate the pages to a new document
- update to newest InDesign version
- save as IDML then re-export
- package, then re-export
- first-aid on disk utility on my OSX (no problem found)
- delete all unused styles
- change all the embedded .ai files to .pdf (not editable)
If someone else has any idea, please advice. Thank you

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....

Disable "Export to interactive PDF" default

For some reason, when I click on "Save Book to PDF", the "Export to interactive PDF" comes up automatically. This happened for the first time today, though I have never used that function. The problem is, I need to use my presets, but there is no way to access them. When I try a single file, there is no problem, but the Book just won't let me get to my presets.
     I have a PC, Windows 7, InDesign CS6, and Acrobat 10.1.6.
     I am really in a panic here since I have to get the PDF to the publisher and am stuck...

Yes, the "Export to interactive PDF" pops up without my asking for it, and when I "Cancel," the whole process cancels.
I tried PRINT BOOK and then PDF, but I could not choose the presets that way.
     Oooh, I got it. I missed the little open at the bottom of the SAVE dialogue box. It must have defaulted to that after the latest Acrobat update. Sorry for the stupidity.

InDesign crashes every time I export to interactive PDF??

I am using InDesign CS6 on Windows 7 professional.
I have restarted the computer several times. CS6 is all up to date.
I have experimented on several existing documents as well as brand new documents. It makes no difference.
Interestingly, InDesign DOES export the interactive PDF just fine, I can open it and it works. However, before the document finishes processing, InDesign pops up an error message saying that InDesign has stopped working and must shut down. So when I have many PDFs from various files to export, it's a major pain to have indd crash & recover documents every time.
Files crash no matter what the content, I've tried new doc with only a yellow circle. I've tried new doc using only system fonts.
I've never used interactive PDFs before today, so I have no idea if this is a recent problem or not.
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks!!
-Tia

Peter, ID is patched to version 8.0.2 & I followed the steps to replace my preference (and confirmed they were deleted) and I'm still having the same issue of ID crashing whenever I export an interactive PDF.
I've tested it on all four of our computers here, and it does it to everyone--so I'm guessing it's something system-wide on our part. I am going to trying uninstalling some plugins that we all have and report back later.

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!

Why new contacts are not appearing after some time?

I Am using iPhone6, iPad New and iPad mini. The contacts which I saved in iPhone are not appearing after some time. I don't know whether it is related with synchronisation of other devices. Please help me if you know the reason.

Hi,
Have you checked the filtering option in contacts? Open contact menu button > filter. Perhaps you have a filter hiding the contacts.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
When iOS 6.1 comes out I would update.
