  • 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.

  • CS5 Interactive PDF - disappearing graphics and buttons

    I have been struggling with CS5 - just about every interactive aspect of it anyway. I have an ebook that I just brought into CS5 from CS4. Each chapter in the book has interactive features such as buttons, anchored graphics, embedded video, html links, etc. I had been struggling with creating the interactive PDF (the whole spread thing) but fixed that with a script found in this forum (Thank You). Even still, I am struggling with random graphics and buttons that disappear off the page during pdf creation. One graphic was moved (not by design) into the bleed space of the document. All of these weird interactive bugs are just about more than enough. It is not an option to create the buttons in Acrobat... there are just too many. Anyone else have similar problems or have a solution I could try. I am close to the point of having to return to CS4 (which would suck to have to redo the edits made again).

    I am sure that is true and makes very good sense for many projects.
    This project is an ever evolving project... a price list that has evolved even from CS. I am in the process of creating it all new again, fresh in CS5 as a side project. Unfortunately, deadlines always push us to make do with what we can and with what we have. I was hopeful that CS5 would take away some of the pains I had been dealing with in CS4, but truly I was just uncovering more crud than I was able to work around. There will be a time when CS5 is good enough... just not today.

  • TOC links fail when using book function for interactive pdf output

    I have  a large print publication consisting of multiple files using the Indesign book function. I have created a Table of Contents in the first document (there are multiple files in this book), but when I save to interactive pdf to create a digital version the TOC links are lost. They only work within the first document.
    I have read numerous forums but cannot resolve this issue with the combination of:
    1. TOC creation
    2. Using Indesign Book Function
    3. Multiple documents in the one book
    4. Interactive Pdf output required
    I look forward to answers???

    I am on CC version 9.0 but am updating CC as I type this in the hope this may have some answers?
    If you are on CC, you should update your InDesign version to 9.2.1 as it is the latest version. Then you should open the TOC definitions, check it, activate the new add anchor on destiny function and save. Now you should actualize all TOCs.
    The TOC functionality has been improved and changed between 9.0 and 9.2. If you update your files accordingly you will suffer less pain.

  • When will Adobe Reader support interactive PDF elements on iOS?

    When will Adobe Reader support interactive PDF elements on iOS? I don't want to hear the line that Apple won't allow Flash. Adobe needs to get a workaround PRONTO! We need detection of simple buttons and support for Mp4 and f4v - as exported inline by inDesign when creating PDFs.

    Pat Willener, Thank you for your message. I have done what you suggest. I could have sworn I started this topic in the general Adobe Reader discussion. So I have also placed a copy back where I thought I first had it so it can be found by other Windows users who, like me, are creating PDF files because they are meant to comply with an international cross-platform standard and not simply be the domain of one platform over the other.
    *******Enhancement / FMR*********
    Brief title for your desired feature: Support for interactive PDFs
    How would you like the feature to work? When I add a transparent frame containing a  basic Adobe Media encoded mp4 or f4v video, export to interactive PDF from Adobe InDesign, I want the PDF and its interactive videos to work on iPads. See an example file here: ***EXAMPLE PROVIDED***  Click the lefthand top and bottom corners to bring up interactive video elements which should open in floating window, maximized, then have an exit button to close and continue reading the PDF. Of course, this does not function under Adobe Reader for iOS. You also need to attend to audio files embedded in the same way and allow an exit button to close the audio window so the reader can continue reading the PDF on Windows.
    Why is this feature important to you? I create eReaders for schools across the whole country and they are taking up iPads at an unprecedented rate. If Adobe do not produce a solution for interactive PDFs on iOS then I will no longer use InDesign, Acrobat, Adobe Media Encoder or Photoshop to create works in the future. You're looking at a massive education market that will leave Adobe behind if this is not acted upon very very soon. For some publishers it's already too late and they have moved to app based creation tools.

  • A problem with hyperlinks in my Interactive PDF on smartphones...

    I hope someone can help...  I exported both an interactive and for print PDF from inDesign.  When I view the PDFs on my pc the hyperlinks that I've made in the document work perfectly fine.  When I view the PDFs on my smartphone, the hyperlinks don't work.  I've gone through many forums to make sure all my settings were correct and have tried many different things to try to get them to work, but still no luck.  Has anyone come across this issue?  Is there any way to get these hyperlinks to work on a smartphone?

    Interactive PDFs on mobile devices are nothing short of a crapshoot.
    The readers are hit or miss and the better ones require payment.
    I wish I had better news for you but right now, that’s the way it is.

  • I publish a 41mb newsletter monthly into interactive pdf. It always becomes a file size of 4mb, 10% of original, when I save to pdf. This month my newsletter is 41mb and it drops to 11mb, 25% of original. I have re-sized all pictures, deleted pages separa

    I publish a 41mb InDesign newsletter monthly into interactive pdf. It always becomes a file size of 4mb, 10% of original, when I save to pdf. This month my newsletter is 41mb and it drops to 11mb, 25% of original. I have re-sized all pictures, deleted pages separately, have gotten the file size down to 16mb and it drops to 7mb, 45% of original.
    I have gone back and saved Feb and March and it saves to 10% of original, as it did before, and I use the same mechanism to save now.
    I have gone to Acrobat Pro and optimized down to 8.8mb, but the quality is not acceptable.
    What other variable is there that I haven't discovered?

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • Problem with Hyperlinks - Creating Interactive PDF from an In-design Book

    Im working on producing a Interactive PDF from an In-design Book which consists of 9 Indesign Documents.
    The problem I am having is with Navigation when I export the pdf
    When I export out to 'Interactive' pdf the hyperlinks DONT link to other documents
    When I export out to 'print' pdf the hyperlinks DO link to other documents but the buttons to 'Go to next page' no longer work
    Cheers,

    Thanks for the reply. I got the IT to upgrade to 5.5 and it now works. Rather an annoying bug for CS5 though

  • Why are full page video's resized in my interactive pdf document?

    Hi all,
    I've got an interactive pdf with a video that doesn't appear in the proper size, its 65% of the original.
    This video is created with After Effects, using a composition of 1024 * 768 px.
    The Indesign document from which the pdf is created has the same dimensions.
    So the video is supposed to cover the entire pdf page, for full screen view.
    Yet it only appears as 65%, with an black rim around it...
    What do I do wrong?
    Best, Erik

    Hi Dave,
    Correct, the video object fills the entire page in InDesign, and it hasn't been scaled as it has the same size.
    The page looks fine in the SWF preview panel, I think something goes wrong in PDF.
    Please have a look at the screenshots below. The Page Thumbnails Bar shows three pages of identical size, the one in the middle is the video.
    The left screen is zoomed 75,4% the right 100%. This makes the black rim bigger and the movie smaller.
    Watching the PDF in full screen gives a similar black bar.

  • How can I make the SWF page in my interactive PDF keep the page change on-click

    Hi there,
    I'm creating an interactive PDF presentation for a client, and I've spent some time learning how to animate the text for certain slides, export to SWF and place that SWF back in the InDesign file. I then export to an interactive PDF to display in full screen mode. The problem I'm having is that I can cycle forward through the PDF slides by clicking until I reach the SWF page, but then the hand cursor changes to an arrow and I can't move the presentation forward in full screen mode.
    I'm sure there's an easy fix, I just can't work it out. I'd be really grateful for any help.
    Many thanks
    Andrew

    Bob: it will be a PDF presentation fed from a laptop to a large display screen with about 50 slides (1920px x 1080px) to support a speaker (person). Most of the slides are static text or image slides, but where we want images to fade in/out we've created an SWF and dropped it into that page in InDesign.
    Trevor: Many thanks, just checked that and those settings are correct.
    Jeffrey: I just tried your advice but the problem remains.
    The strange thing is that if I press enter each time the slides (pages) move forward properly, but any touch on the mouse and the whole thing won't move... I'm going to look to see if I can drop in other video formats instead.

  • Must click on a Flash icon in my interactive PDF before I can read it

    Hi,
    I have been creating an InDesign document with object effects and buttons, that I then exported to SWF.
    I then placed the SWF file in a new InDesign document, that I exported to an interactive PDF, to get a fancy looking PDF that my client can place on their website.
    My problem is that everytime I open the PDF, I see a white screen with a small Flash icon on the top left of the page, and I need to first click on this icon to activate the Flash elements. Only then can I read the document, and see the differents effects and functions that the document offers.
    Not user friendly or professionnal looking.
    Does anybody know a fix for that problem?
    Thanks a lot

    Did you check "Play on Page Load" in Media panel?

  • Animated GIF in interactive PDF

    Hi all,
    I was wondering if someone could help me with the following;
    I want to add some animated GIF images to my interactive PDF document in InDesign (also with hyperlinks and video's)
    How do I need to save the document, in order to see an animation (instead of just the first layer, without any animation..)
    Thank you in advance!

    Acrobat and Reader 9 and 10 support flash.
    You can create your animation with InDesign CS5 animation panel, after you are ready, simply select your animated object, export selection as SWF (Flash Player) and finally use File>Place command to replace your original animated object with that exported SWF. Now you can export your interactive PDF with animation.

  • Interactive PDF with mouse-overs was created in Illustrator, now pauses and flashes when opened in Acrobat

    I have created an interactive PDF using Illustrator that has mouse-overs. When i export the file and then open it in Acrobat there is odd pausing on teh image bewteen mousing over it and the text callout that shold then display. Did I export or save incorrectly?

    Thank you for both responses! I'm impressed with the fact that you're reading my post.
    I'm new to tech matters with Adobe/PDF/Nitro tho I've been using them for several years.
    The original file was created by an agency and given to independent contractor to use.  I don't know which program they used to create the form. And I don't know what XFA or LiveCycle Designer means  because I'm not technically sophisticated unfortunately.
    I used Nitro 6 to populate the data and have a number of forms already filled out, which I periodically open and modify and resubmit. But Nitro 6 is acting sick, despite reinstalling several times.  I'm attempting to see if it's worth transitioning to Adobe Acrobat, i.e., can I reopen the forms I've populated and continue to work with them.  I like some of the Adobe features for other purposes (e.g., OCR). 
    Any help in determining how to open the form while keeping the data?

  • Interactive PDF forms

    Hi,
    In Our project we are creating an Interactive PDF form. This form shows some data that we get from the bapi.While creating the form there is no issue.
    We are also saving the generated PDF's at some location in the server. Through a different application we are accessing these old stored pdf's. Now when we save the PDF to our local machine and try to open it we get a message saying:
    >"This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document".
    With this message all the javascript written on the PDF form get disabled and due to this few of the data are not getting displayed.
    What can be the reason for this? Does it has something to do with ADS configuration on the server?
    Please reply.
    Thanks & regards,
    Sujit

    Hi, Sujit!
    To me it seems that the document somehow gets modified while you process. Try to save your file on the local machine under a new name, enable and save again.
    Regards,
    Thomas

  • Interactive PDF on IPad app created with Digital Publishing Suite

    Can someone tell me why I can create an Interactive PDF in InDesign, send it to Adobe Forms but not be able to have an Interactive PDF form on an IPad App built with InDesign? Is having an Interactive (by that I mean, adding a name and address and answering questions in the form of text and checkboxes and submitting) form on an IPad at all possible using InDesign? Aaarrrrgggghhh!
    Barb

    I have a 5 part questionnaire which is included in an IPad app built with InDesign. The recipients of the questionnaire answer the questions, add their name etc. They will visit this questionnaire on a monthly basis for 6 months, and each month a copy of the questionnaire is to be submitted to 3 different people. The responses of the questionnaire will need to be maintained for editing and updating each month.
