Buttons under a state object

How can I make inactive, a button, in a state object, which is located under?

@diametrabi – can you elaborate your question a bit more?
A sceen shot could help. You could attach it when using the forum software:

Image buttons in multi-state-object

Hello,
I created 3 articles in Indesign for the iPad. The 3 articles come in a liquid format (landscape and portrait) and are all quite picture heavy. Nevertheless, I am very surprised of the folio file size, it's over 500 MB big.
The biggest Indesign file of these 3 articles has 115 MB as there are many statuses (multi-state-objects) (please see screenshots attached). I checked these resources out: Digital Publishing Suite Help | Best practices for creating overlays and Structuring Files for DPS
According to these resources, the images in my 9 big circles should be resampled when I export the folio in PDF format. So by theory the image sizes cannot be the problem here. But what else can be the problem? I can't think of any other issues.
What can I do to reduce the folio size. Please help!

I don't have any web overlays, no. Just normal URL links (In-App-Browser opens). I have 1 video file embedded (nearly 400 MB), so I am well aware of that. But 150 MB for the rest when it's only 3 articles (despite having 2 formats) seems a bit too much to me. I did add the articles to the folio once at a time, yes. And it is the article with the many buttons and MSOs (as seen in the screenshots above) that is so big. This is also the article with the video in it, but still. I have the feeling buttons or the images in the buttons are making the folio so big. I often do app magazines with approx. 15 articles and 3-4 videos embedded (200-300 MB per video!) and that is normally 650 MB or so. So comparing that with my 3 articles makes me wonder.
Do MSOs and buttons make a folio big, is that possible? Or is it the images in the 9 big buttons not being resampled correctly (even though the documentation - 2 links in my original post - say something else). When I export the article, I always export it as PDF and when looking at the loading bar, it says "saving as PNG". So that should mean that all my buttons are resampled, I don't have to worry about image file size and it's exported as PNG in the PDF. Hm...

Interactive pdf - Buttons within multi-state objects

Hi,
I seem to have a problem. I dont know if it is even possible, but I made a button that goes to a status of 2 multi-state objects. Within one of those multi-state objects is a button that closes that multi-state object. So now I am wondering if it is possible to make that same button close the other multi-state object aswell?
Marc

Yes, you can attach multiple actions to one button, but there´s a bigger problem... based on your title I guess you are trying to use multistate objects with interactive PDF and that´s not possible. MSOs are supported only with SWF exports and with Adobe DPS / Folios....

My multi-state object disappear's when I export to PDF but works in Preview mode?

I created a multi-state object which is a series of logos that appear when a button is clicked. There are two buttons one is set to go the the previous state and one is set to go to the next state. When I view it in the preview mode it works fine but when I export it to PDF nothing happens when I click the buttons. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Multi-state objects are NOT supported in PDF. The PDF standard preceded the development of multi-state objects. It's now under the control of the ISO so may be slow to adapt.
They work when exporting to SWF or with the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite.

Error: The report source could not be retrieved from the state object.

I have been trying to create a report in a JSF page. The relevant parts are below:
Inside the JSP page, this is the code:
              <jsp:useBean id="MyBean" class="com.nm.facade.rto.POJOViewerBean" scope="session" />
                <jsp:setProperty name="MyBean" property="reportLocation" value="Report1.rpt" />
               <v:reportPageViewer reportSource="#{MyBean.reportSource}"
                                       displayToolbarPrintButton="true"
                                       printMode="ActiveX"
                                       zoomPercentage="100"
                                       displayToolbarExportButton="true"
                                       displayToolbarRefreshButton="true"
                                       viewerName="My Viewer"
               ></v:reportPageViewer>
In the backing bean, this is the relevant code:
    public Object getReportSource() throws ReportSDKException
        if (propertiesChanged || reportSource == null)
            propertiesChanged = false;
            if (reportLocation == null)
                throw new RuntimeException("The reportLocation property must be set before a report source is retrieved");
            ReportClientDocument rcd = new ReportClientDocument();
            rcd.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
            rcd.open(reportLocation, 0);
            DatabaseController dbc = rcd.getDatabaseController();
            //Create the POJO collection and populate it with data
            ReportData[] data =
              new ReportData("B.B.", "King", 6, new Date(25, 9, 16)),
                new ReportData("Muddy", "Waters", 7, new Date(15, 4, 4)),
                new ReportData("John Lee", "Hooker", 8, new Date(16, 8, 16)),
                new ReportData("Otis", "Rush", 9, new Date(34, 4, 29)),
                new ReportData("Buddy", "Guy", 10, new Date(36, 7, 30))
            //Create the result set from the collection of POJOs
            POJOResultSetFactory factory = new POJOResultSetFactory(ReportData.class);
            factory.setVerbose(true);
            POJOResultSet results = factory.createResultSet(data);
            ResultSetMetaData metaData = results.getMetaData();
            //Set the resultset as the report datasource
                  //Get the table name from the 'Set Datasource Location' dialog in the Crystal Reports designer
            String reportTable = "getReportDataDataSource";
            dbc.setDataSource(results, reportTable, reportTable);
            IReportSource reportSource = rcd.getReportSource();
            if (reportSource == null)
                throw new RuntimeException("Unable to get a report source.");
        return reportSource;
In the CRConfig.xml, this is what is there:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<CrystalReportEngine-configuration>
    <reportlocation>../reports</reportlocation>
    <timeout>0</timeout>
    <ExternalFunctionLibraryClassNames>
         <classname></classname>
    </ExternalFunctionLibraryClassNames>
</CrystalReportEngine-configuration>
The report template 'Report1.rpt' is packaged under WEB-INF/reports in the war file.
When I try to generate the report by accessing the JSF page, I am getting an error: "The report source could not be retrieved from the state object. "
I am not sure what is wrong. Can someone help me in resolving this issue?

My formatting gets lost and the message looks unintelligible. After some experimentation, I found that if the message exceeds some length, the formatting is removed.

Slideshow Using Multi-State Objects

Hi,
I created a slideshow in an Indesign document using multi-state objects. The slideshow has foward and backward buttons to navigate the slideshow. The slideshow works fine in Indesign but when I export the document as an intereactive pdf, the slideshow no longers works. What am I doing wrong? I'm using Indesign CS 5.5.
Thank you,
Kristie

What you're doing wrong is expecting it to work. MSOs are for SWF and DPS output only.
The only workaround is doing it in its own file, exporting to SWF and placing that in the PDF.

DPS HTML to activate multi state object

Is there a way to have an HTML asset placed in a DPS folio, to activate a specific state of a multi state object?

I don't think there is a way to use hyperlinks to change an MSO's state.
Two approaches you might try:
1 - Lose the MSO and create it as an html overlay and use jQuery to create a similar MSO change state experience
2 - Try overlaying a blank button on your html link and use that to change the MSO state

Video above multi-state object

hi guys,
We always tried to avoid this kind of problem on our designs, however, this time we are just converting a publication so we cannot change the design and we are facing an issue, basically we have a video and a calendar that opens fullscreen when I click on a button. The problem is that the video remains above the calendar (see attached image)
I found some posts talking about this, but they are related to the same object, not different objects. Is there any way to fix it?
Thanks!

Taping feature for Multi state object.

Good Day Team,
I am try to create a Multistae object in which when you get to that page and tap it it goes to the next slide and pause and tap again next etc.
Now I know you can swipe to the next image but I want to know if there a feature in which when you tap it, it goes to the next slide with in that multistate object.
Thanks

Put a large button in each state that goes to the next state.
You could probably get away with one large button covering the MSO itself but I’m not a fan of doing that.

Are Multi-state Objects Supported in Version 11 DPS tools?

Hello Everyone!
I was wondering if multi-state objects are supported in V11 of DPS tools for example if i create a multi state object and build it for an iPad,
Will the MSO work with V11?
On Another note,
Horizontal Swipe won't work on V11 right?
Thanks!

Hi Bob,
I was given the green light to proceed with MSOs and on their spec sheet it said they supported multi state objects.
Here's a quick mock up of something similar we did.
The arrows are part of the state, as well as the image and text, so there's buttons within the states.
Something like that would not be possible?
The reason we did it this way was because they wanted everthing in one page, so the only way to fit multiple pages into one was to create MSOs, i originally had it as seperate pages were the user would click the arrow and it would take you to the next page instead of the next mso.
Thanks bob!

Image on top of multi-state object

Is it possible to put an image on top of a multi-state object? I have tried converting the image to a button, but it won't go on top of the MSO.

Convert the image to an MSO. By default it will have two identical states. Have it run automatically once and put it on layer above the other MSO.

Number of actual state of multi-state objects

Hello,
is it possible create automatic number of actual state and automatic total number of states in mulsti-state objects?
Thank you for your answer.

@Martin – the following script will show you an alert message of the active state of all first-level MSOs in the active document (it will not show nested MSOs like in groups, MSOs anchored to text frames, MSOs inside MSOs etc.pp.).

How can I sync my photo contents in iPhoto on my iMac to my new iPAD's iPhoto? I follwed all the instructions on manuals for both iPAD and iTunes re syncing, but I cannot find "phone button" under Device name on iTunes page. Please help! Thanks!

I follwed all the instructions on manuals for both iPAD and iTunes re syncing, but after physically connecting iPAD with iMac with USB or via WiFi I still cannot find "phone button" under Device name on iTunes page. Please help! Thanks!
I have been creating a photo book using a lots of photographs on iPhoto, and then I took another photos by using new iPAD which I want to integrate with the original album/book on iMac. I was able to import them from iPAD's iPhoto to iMac's iPhoto. However I cannot import or transfer or sync anything from iMac's iPhoto to that of my iPAD.
So my iPhoto page on iPAD contains only 3 or 4 newly created albums, and no other info. That means no syncing....
I am supposed to be able to work on this project on either of these iPAD and iMac, correct?
I am puzzled. I appreciate for your advice and help.
Thank you!

It doesn't appear under the iPad device on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes, you need to select the iPad device on the sidebar and then select the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes e.g.
And then on the right-hand side :
