Can "swipe" page navigation be supressed?

We recently published a children's book using the Adobe DPS suite. We've had great feedback for the most part, but several professional app reviewers had several usability issues with the platform, specifically the menu system and sensitivity of swiping from side to side to go through pages.
They were kind enough not to give us a review at all, since it would have been negative from their perspective.
They stated that if we were to fix these technical issues, they would give us an excellent review.
Having spent a lot of money on the effort, reviews from pro sites like 148 apps are critical in making apps and magazines commercially successful.
So, my questions to Adobe (some of them repeats from last year's pre-release program)
Can side to side navigation be turned off, enabling the developer to control the navigation in a .folio?
Can the way the menu system is invoked be altered? Some ideas:
press and hold to invoke the menu
double tap to invoke the menu
reserve an area (top left, for example) for invoking the menu
anything BUT single tapping, since IMO this is the gesture should be reserved for interactive elements, not core navigation.

Hi Bob:
Thanks, I guess I knew that it is not currently supported.
Don't get me wrong, I love this platform and it's potential, but as a UX designer want to point out what I feel are some very easy common sense changes that would offer designers more flexibility, and improve the platform's overall user experience.
I just want to register this request again, since I feel it is important. And to ask if anyone has a workaround other than the "invisible button" trick.
I should point out that the "invisible button" trick works only intermittantly, it fails to work on certain interactive elements like 360 degree viewers (from our Crankamacallit app below), and of course on any inline HTML elements, of which we have plenty. So single tapping on these elements will invoke the menu. Add to this that some interactive elements REQUIRE a single tap to become active, such as slide shows, and the result is UX confusion and constantly popping up menu system that was invoked inadvertantly.
In the end this causes a very inconsistent user experience.

Can't find the 'page navigator' in Pages

I can't find page navigation features in Pages
I'm using Pages 5.2.2 on OS X 10.9.5.
(usually I work with word processing documents)
I think I must've said 'OK' & accepted an upgrade at some point, because the application suddenly looked different one day---e.g. the Inspector is no longer a floating window, but a column on the side... So I gather there's something called the Page Navigator, but I can't find it anywhere---not even a mention in Help.
I no longer see the page number in the lower left of the window, and without that, I can't jump to a page.
Please help.

Thanks for the responses, Peter & Mike.
I do know about the thumbnails, and yes, you can quickly drag up or down there, to find to the page you want. But that's still no match for clicking in the old page-number box on the lower left corner and simply inputting the exact page you want. (Even that wasn't quite as good as "Go to page __" command).
Have they really deleted that?
And where's everything else? The Inspector (is it no longer available as a floating window?!) seems sparse---I can't say precisely what's missing----but I have that weird feeling like when someone moves around the things on your desk, stuff is missing, or isn't where it used to be....

I can swipe slideshow images but can I swipe pages in tablet version

I can swipe slideshow images but can I swipe pages in tablet version

What swiping is involved with making purchases?
Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons simultaneously, ignoring the red power off slider, until the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. This should not affect any content on the iPad, it is similar to rebooting your computer.

Does and one know if you can change the navigation menu at the top of the iWeb template pages?

Does and one know if you can change the navigation menu at the top of the iWeb template pages? I need to make the background a little wider.

It depends on which template you use.
You can also hide the default navigation and build your own which allows more freedom of design and is better for search engine optimization...

Make sure you use web-safe fonts in your navigation...

Page navigation in Acrobat does not match page numbers in the document

I have a document in both Framemaker format (server.book) and PDF (server.pdf). When I view the pdf file in Adobe Acrobat, the page numbers appear correctly on the document itself, but up in the Page Navigation window within Acrobat the pages number doesn't match.
In the beginning of the book I have Title page, a Table of Contents, and a Preface that all use lower-case roman numerals. However, when viewing this document via Acrobat, the Title pages show up as i, and ii, but then the Table of Contents and Preface show up as pages 1 - 8 instead of iii - x in the page navigation window.
I can't figure where this discrepancy is originating.
Please help.

Acrobat has no way to know which bit of character string on each page is the page number.
The visible page number has never formed any part of Reader nav. as you point out, it couldn't.
Acrobat knows the Numbering Properties of the pages as created in Frame. It just doesn't display or honor them consistently, depending on Reader version.
I also use i, ii, iii, iv for pre-narrative material. The romans are displayed in the page number box of Acroread (this is AR7 on Unix). I can enter "ii" in the box, and go to that page. But the Print dialog is Ordinal only. Printing page ranges in AR7 is always off by 2 or 4 relative to the actual page numbers.
Acrobat Pro 9 (9.4.5, Win7-64) seems to be more consistent, and does show and accept real page numbers for Print.

Print, Export and Page Navigation Buttons in the Report

When I view a report through CR4E, the generated report has 3 buttons namely Print, Export and Page Navigation buttons. But when I click on either of the buttons I get a 'null pointer exception'. This is a critical error as I am unable to navigate past the first page. Do I have to add code to these buttons? If not, why am I getting an error? Kindly solve my problem as soon as possible.

Looking at your code it appears that you are storing the ReportSource in session prior to passing in the ResultSet. This will create a problem when a postback is made on the viewer page (which all of the viewer actions do). If you look at the sample code which is generated when you use the JSP Page Wizard you will notice that the ResultSet is passed to the ReportClientDocument object prior to it being stored in session. Then, when the page is called again this object is retrieved and the ReportSource is used by the viewer. You can quickly run the test using one of our sample reports to see what I am talking about. The code below was generated using the Consolidated Balance Sheet.rpt and did not experience any problems doing any of the viewer actions.<%@page import="com.businessobjects.samples.JRCHelperSample, com.crystaldecisions.report.web.viewer.CrystalReportViewer, com.crystaldecisions.reports.sdk.ReportClientDocument, com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.OpenReportOptions, com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKExceptionBase, com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.reportsource.IReportSource, java.sql.Connection, java.sql.DriverManager, java.sql.ResultSet, java.sql.SQLException, java.sql.Statement"%><% try { String reportName = "Sample Reports/Consolidated Balance Sheet.rpt"; ReportClientDocument clientDoc = (ReportClientDocument) session.getAttribute(reportName); if (clientDoc == null) { clientDoc = new ReportClientDocument(); // Open report clientDoc.open(reportName, OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly); { // **** POPULATE MAIN REPORT **** { // Connection Info for fetching the resultSet String connectStr = "jdbc:derby:classpath:/Xtreme"; String driverName = "org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver"; String userName = "dbuser"; // TODO: Fill in database user String password = "dbpassword"; // TODO: Fill in valid password String query = "SELECT CUSTOMER_NAME FROM APP.CUSTOMER WHERE COUNTRY = 'Australia'"; String tableAlias = "FINANCIALS"; // TODO: Change to correct table alias JRCHelperSample.passResultSet(clientDoc, fetchResultSet(driverName, connectStr, userName, password, query), tableAlias, ""); } } // Store the report document in session session.setAttribute(reportName, clientDoc); } { // Create the CrystalReportViewer object CrystalReportViewer crystalReportPageViewer = new CrystalReportViewer(); // set the reportsource property of the viewer IReportSource reportSource = clientDoc.getReportSource(); crystalReportPageViewer.setReportSource(reportSource); // set viewer attributes crystalReportPageViewer.setOwnPage(true); crystalReportPageViewer.setOwnForm(true); // Process the report crystalReportPageViewer.processHttpRequest(request, response, application, null); } } catch (ReportSDKExceptionBase e) { out.println(e); } %><%! // Simple utility function for obtaining result sets that will be pushed into the report. // This is just standard querying of a Java result set and does NOT involve any // Crystal JRC SDK functions. private static ResultSet fetchResultSet(String driverName, String connectStr, String userName, String password, String query) throws SQLException, ClassNotFoundException { //Load JDBC driver for the database that will be queried Class.forName(driverName); Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(connectStr, userName, password); Statement statement = connection.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY); //Execute query and return result sets return statement.executeQuery(query); }%>Try using the code generated from the wizard to see if it works for you as well.

Hi.
You can do it using ADF TaskFlows,Create two page fragments as index.jsff and home.jsff.Also need to create container page(.jspx) to add taskflow and finally need to run Content page.Then you can navigates page fragments within taskflow using controle flow case(navigation between page fragments).
See:

JSF Page Navigation from Tab to another page and back to tab

I have a Page with tabs and a button in each of those presenting a Table and "Create Button"
I would like to go to a new page and come back to the same active tab.
How do I set the page navigation properties?
Right now I am in
Page1(Tab3) Button click-> page2(Create)->Page1 is showing a wrong active tab.
Can we tell page navigation to go activate a tab it came from?

Hello, maybe if u declare a sessionbean variable as string, in the page u want to open thew tab, in init() you must call the session bean withh the name of the tab u are calling, for example:
getSessionBean1().setSeltab("tab1");
i hope it can help

IWeb Page Navigational Links not working with Internet Explorer 7

I'm hoping someone can help me out here? My wife created her 1st website using iWeb. I am testing the sites functionality before we publish it. All the pages and links work fine on Firefox and Safari for windows. However, the page navigational links are not working on Internet Explorer 7. All I see is a dot to the left side of where the page links should be. When I start the site in IE7 I get an Active X script warning and I am asked if I want to allow the script to run; to which I reply yes. After I allow the Active X script the dot to the left side of where the page links should be disappears, but the links do not appear.
Is there anyway to resolve this? Most of the members of her club have Windows based PCs and are using IE7.
Message was edited by: cviz821

Yes, Javascript is running on IE7 and other java script applets appear to be working with the exception of the Navbar script.
It would be great if my wife's friends used a "real" browser, unfortunately 70% of the people on the web use IE7, so this is a real concern if we can't get this to work. I'v seen other iWeb site on IE7 that seem to function fine, so I'm not sure what the issue is here.

How to get the page navigation buttons back at the bottom of the page?

After upgrading to Acrobat X I discovered that there is only one option for the page navigation buttons - at the upper left. I'm mystified as to why they put them there. Most users are right-handed. With the buttons at upper left it's awkward to reach up there, across the page, with the mouse cursor for every page turn (yeah, I know you can use the PgUp/PgDnkeyboard keys, but that requires taking your hand off the mouse every page turn).
What I really want is to be able to put a copy of these buttons back down at the bottom center of the page, which was an option in previous versions. Is there some way to get those back at the bottom?

Hi terpenoid,
Have you tried Read Mode yet ( under the View menu)? It displays a nivagation bar at the bottom of the PDF with next/previous page, zoom in/out, etc.
Hope this helps,

JSF 2.0 page navigation vs direct page access

I've been experimenting with JSF for some time now and I still don't understand the page navigation part. I know that in JSF, if you aren't using the redirect option in navigation that the URL is one page behind the page you are on.
I've seen articles where people say you should put your pages in a directory under WEB-INF to protect against directly accessing the page. I don't understand how you can create an application that is multiple pages using that option, because won't you run into the problem of having a form with an action URL of WEB-INF/somepage.xhtml?
I've also read articles that say the way to fix this is to add security-constraints to web.xml that prevent "direct access" to pages, when you want your user to follow a page flow, such as start on page1.xhtml, then page2.xthml, then end on page2.xhtml. If page3.xhtml depends on page2.xhtml, the articles I've read say that a security constraint prevents users from simply requesting page3.xhtml out of sequence.
And what happens if the page you are on encounters an error or the session times out, which page handles that? The one you're on, or the one from before that forwarded you to the page you're on?
In this example, should page2.xhtml and page3.xhtml go in the root of the webapps directory, or in a directory under WEB-INF?
Webapps
index.xhtml
page1.xhtml
page2.xhtml
page3.xhtml
WEB-INF
    faces-config.xml
    web.xml
    page-directory
      page2.xhtml
      page3.xhtml

A session timeout should actually net a view expiry exception.
You do know that JSF 2.0 made page navigation that bit easier by not requiring you to do the XML configuration? There is now a convention built in plus some new components to add GET enabled requests to the JSF lifecycle (notably h:button and h:link). If you have an action method that returns the following:
public String doSomething(){
return "something";
}then JSF will by default want to render a view 'something.xhtml' when you don't define any navigation rules. If you want to make that a redirect you can do this:
public String doSomething(){
return "something?faces-redirect";
}(of course this is a prime target to turn into a utility method on a backing bean base class).
Navigation rules are still necessary when you want to put views in a subdirectory, but at least this way you can greatly simplify general cases. Other than that I can only say: research research research because this material is vital to understand if you want to be productive using the framework; navigation and the 6 JSF lifecycle phases are two items you should put on the top of your list to hammer out until you really get it. A good JSF book will help you immensely there. Balusc's blog is also a good source of deeper understanding:
http://balusc.blogspot.com/
Most of his articles are on JSF 1.2 but most of the information still applies.
Oh and its no surprise that you're a bit confused - this framework is not easy to pick up especially when you don't know any other web frameworks. If you keep running into a wall you should consider checking out something else like Wicket or Play framework. It might just be that JSF simply isn't the tool for the job you're trying to do.

JSF page navigation under WEB-INF

If page navigation starts on index.xhtml, and then forwards to page2.xhtml, how can I then forward from page2.xhtml to page3.xhtml?
WebContent
META-INF
WEB-INF
 lib
 pages
 page2.xhtml
 page3.xhtml
 faces-config.xml
 web.xml
index.xhtml
Controller.java
class Controller {
public String gotopagetwo(){
return "/WEB-INF/pages/page2";
public String gotopagethree(){
return "/WEB-INF/pages/page3";
index.xhtml
h:commandButton id="submit" value="Submit" action="#{con.gotopagetwo}"></h:commandButton>
page2.xhtml
h:commandButton id="submit" value="Submit" action="#{con.gotopagethree}"></h:commandButton>

I don't think so....
If u read is u will know....
