CS6 Encore Multi-Page Button & Background Issues

I'm building a blu-ray project for a client using a multi-page motion menu.
The menu has a minute long video clip with audio looping behind it, and has four button options; Play movie, Languages, Bonus Material, and Scene Selection.
The Language, Bonus, and Scenes buttons each use a seperate page with highlighted text as buttons for aditional content. Each of these pages also has a light, brown background image which I've turned into a button as a workaround for them to be visible along with the buttons. No matter what I do, only the first page works properly.
I've tried turning each of the pages seperately into Page 1, (#1) Page 1, to make sure I have my settings correct, and they all work fine as long as they're the first page. However, every other page after page one, (#2), (#3), etc,  turns the buttons into a highlighted block unless I remove the brown backgrounds. Is there another work around this? Is this a limitation of blu-ray; to only allow one page to work with a background image at a time, or is this a limitation of Encore?

The thing the client is doing is using separate backgrounds for each option, which are spread out across the screen.
I took a look at the Dark Knight Rises, the Indiana Jones blu-ray set, and those discs kinda show what this client is aiming for; a main menu with play movie, languages, bonus material, and scene options with individual sub menus with separate backgrounds for each option.
If you happen to have those disc available, give them a look. Is Encore capable of creating blu-ray menus that work similar to those?
I've been researching this multi-page thing for a week now, and there just isn't a lot of info out there past creating one page. It seems I can create as many pages as I want without a background and it works fine. It's when I add a background to each page is when things start to become problematic. Buttons that were once color highlighted text become ugly solid color blocks.

  • CS5 Encore Multi page menu background problem

    I am trying to create a multi-page Blu-Ray so there is seamless background video playback while navigating to different pages. On one of the secondary pages, I am needing to cover up a portion of the BG video with a still and some buttons over the still. Encore seems to ignor anything but buttons for all sub pages..
    I'm sure it's just an issue with my PSD layer structure/ naming, but I have no Idea.
    Here is page 1, each tile is a looping video
    This is what Page 2 should look like. All 3 tiles to the right are stills.
    Here is a shot of my layers if that helps. The highlighted folder is what is being ignored..
    I know with a single page menu, you can have it set up this way, with anything you want as a BG all just put into a folder.
    With the way it's currently set up, when I build an iso, it ignors the stills on the right and shows the video with the buttons ontop of that.
    I have also tried making the stills the actual buttons, but the loss of color quality and an issue where some pixels are rendered transparent makes that solution not work for my purposes.
    Please help, thanks!

    With that confirmation, I used the workaround of making the main menu button a title-sized heading at the top, then making its text vary (e.g. the Page 0 version was Main Menu from Page 0, from Page 1 "main menu from Page 1" etc). Since the main menu button has an opaque background, it appears to change the title for each page.
    Edit: You cannot use this method for a background, since it creates overlapping buttons.

  • Page/browser background issue

    You still can't beat iWeb for ease of use, though it does have its limitations, for instance: I want to have my page background and browser background be the same color. No problem, except I am still left with a thin outline of the page background (set to 1024 x 768 px) when setting the page background to None. Any idea of how to get rid of that outline so that one sees a continous background where the page size is implied but not actually seen? Does anyone have a suggestion for an iWeb replacement if this is not doable?

  • Opening multi-page pdfs - just opens the first page

    AI CS6: opening multi-page pdfs - choose page dialogue flashes for a milli-second & just opens the first page. Running Lion. Prior to CS6, it used to happen but then if I moved something on the page & reverted (f12), it would give me the dialogue box - but not anymore. Have trashed prefs, reinstalled - still the same - does anyone have any ideas?

    Do you have a copy of Acrobat 7 or 8 (Pro, not Reader)? If so, open the PDF in Acrobat and from the Document menu select Extract pages making sure you have checked the box that says Extract Pages as Separate Files.

  • CS6 Blu-Ray multi-page menus- No preview possible?!?!

    I'm fairly confident of the answer here, but just want to make sure that this is Encore CS6's "fault" rather than mine...
    Is there really no way to preview/test multi-page menus in CS6 Blu-Ray projects?
    Thanks in advance!
    - Jim 8^}

    You can add multipage menus to your Blu-ray projects. But the preview of Blu-ray features (Multipage menu, pop up menu etc) is not available in Encore as of now. But you can navigate to all the menu pages in the menu editor.
    Use these Next and Previous buttons to navigate to the different pages of the menu.

  • HP LaserJet M1522nf Multi Page Scanning Issues

    OS: Win 7 Home 64bit
    When I try to scan documents in PDF format on the multi page scanner, the pages does not feed into the scanner. The wheels on the scanner just turn. It is almost as though the printer does not recognize there are pages in the multipage scanner. I do not experience any problems whatsoever with the flatbed scanner.
    Being stationed on Afghanistan it is not simple a case of taking it to the closest technitian.
    I have restarted the computer, the printer, Adobe PDF but nothing solves the problem.
    Then I also get a message: "HP FX Toolbox has stopped working." when I start or restart the computer. How do I fix this problem?
    Appreciate the help.

  • Can't preview multi-page menus in Encore CS5?

    Can anyone confirm or deny if preview is supposed to work for multi-page menus?  It's not working for me.  I'm having to burn to a BD-RE and test in a real player as I author a fairly complicated menu, and because Encore insists on including all assets whether or not they're linked, it burns a 46GB disc every time.  It's somewhat tedious.
    If the answer is no, then does anyone know if they're working on this for a future patch?

    I have no trouble previewing multi pages, but mine are not that complex.
    Why do you not make an image and play that with e.g. Virtual Clone drive (that is what i do)

  • Encore CS4 Button & Loop Issues

    I am building a DVD in Encore CS4 and have two issues. The DVD consists of a main menu with one button linked to the main timeline (3 min 45 sec) and a video(1 min 2 sec 21 frames) linked for the menu to have motion along with an audio clip with the same run time. The video and audio were exported from Encore CS4 as MPEG2-DVD.The loop point is set to 9 sec 11 frames and is set to forever.
    Issue 1- When I try to preview the project in Encore before burning it starts as it should but stops at the loop point (9 sec 11 frames into it) and plays from the beginning. When I burn the DVD the loop works properly but I can not see it in the preview prior to burning. I wasted a couple of discs lining up the loop point due to no preview. I should also note that
    Issue 2- When the DVD is burned and played it loads the menu which plays as it should. At the 9 second mark a button appears signifying the loop point which when selected begins the actual video, as it should. After the video finishes and it loops back to the 9 second mark the button vanishes. The only way to navigate at this point is to hit the top menu button which starts it from scratch.
    I went back to a test burn I made and the button remained continuously after looping. What could I have hit that is now making the button vanish? And what can I do to get a full preview before going to build?
    Thanks for any thoughts.
    Cole

    1 is a problem.  Encore's preview capabilities have never been flawless.  Use rewritable disks to avoid coasters.
    2 is new, but I can't think of anythjing off hand to explain it.

  • DPS for iPad, linking pages to/from a multi-page file

    Hi Everyone!
    I've been building an InDesign CS6 file for an iPad presentation, it contains video files, Edge Animate files, and more basic text and photos; there's 16 pages total so far. It is horizontal format only.
    Now, there's a new page with 10 links, each is a link to a multi-page PDF article. I don't want the user to leave Adobe Content Viewer to view these documents. One solution I have is to convert each page to a JPEG, use the overlay feature to pan the image up and down to read it. A mini navigation will be built to jump from page to page or return to the originating link page. The problem is the user has to tap the image first to enable panning, not a big issue, but is not intuitive.
    Is there another way I can display these pages while staying in the Content Viewer, keeping the iPad horizontal, and offering a "return" button to jump back to the originating page?

    Thanks Bob, everything is in one folio, I'm going to give that a try. I've seen that solution in a video before but the whole folio/article definition and relationship is shaky in my head.
    I haven't created article links before, for those that are reading this, the below video covers how to create the article links.

  • Scanning with Yosemite splits multi-page documents into a separate document for each page

    I use a Mac Book w/ OSX 10.10.1.  I scan docs using the HP Scan utility & both an HP OfficeJet 6700 & an HP Officejet 8600. Everything worked great for a year or more.
    In about September, 2014, multi-page docs started creating a separate file for each page of the doc, instead of storing the scanned multi-page doc in one file as it had before.  I didn't change any settings w/in the HP utility that I am aware of.  I did download the the Yosemite OSX.  I haven't been able to find a setting w/in the HP scan utility to correct the issue.  Both of my scanners are useless for scanning & returning executed agreements (my primary use for them) until I can fix this problem.  I would appreciate any help anyone can give.
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    From the HP Scan click on Scan and follow the steps on screen.
    Once the scan preview being shown click on Send and then click on Folder.
    Select the required Format, then check the box next to 'Save all items to a single file' and click the Save button, then the scan will no longer be saved in seperate files.

  • Scan multi-page less convenient in Acrobat Pro 8

    Scanning a multi-page document is less convenient in Acrobat Pro 8.
    In prior versions when a page had been scanned a dialog box was presented in which the user could simply press Return or Enter to scan another page, or Escape if there were no more pages to scan.
    However, in ver. 8, the new dialog box defaults to "no more pages to scan" and if you nee to scan additional pages you have to reach for the mouse and click an alternate radio button, then click another button to scan the additional page(s). Quite a bit more movement required than before.
    I realize this is a relatively minor issue, but it's annoying when scanning multi-page documents.

  • How to view all pages of a multi-page HTML email in Mac Mail 5+ (Lion to Mavericks)?

    In previous versions of Mac Mail (up to that included with Snow Leopard, Mail 4), it was possible to scroll through all pages of a multi-page HTML email, like that send from the Tivoli Storage Manager reporting system.
    Since Lion, that has not been possible. The first page displays, but that's it.
    As a possible complication, I'm accessing an Exchange server, not IMAP.
    I have not been able to find a setting that might be related to this, nor have I found anyone who seems to be perturbed by this issue. Perhaps there's very few of us trying to read multi-page Tivoli reports on a Mac.
    In any case, I would prefer not to switch to a different mail app, or sign on to the Outlook Web Service version of our email to see the full report.
    Any thoughts?

    I've been able to find someone willing to do some testing that I can't do without installing old versions of Reader on my computer.  The surprising (to me) result is that the Submit button causes the problem.  By simply removing the Submit button, Reader 10 is now able to print page 1.  The Submit button was set up to do a "mailto".  I don't know whether other destinations also cause the problem of the page not printing with old versions of Reader.

  • Export Multi-Page Document as Individual PDF's, Exporting Layers

    I'm not sure if there is a way to do this (I've scoured through the Export dialogues and I'm not sure if what I am looking for is counter-intuitively labelled or just doesn't exist). What I would like to do is take a multi-page document and export it so that each page is it's own PDF - from a single Export. I know that there are ways to split PDF's in Acrobat, but we are trying to streamline our workflow so I'd prefer if this can just be done in one step at the time of PDF creation.
    The other issue I am running into, when I export a PDF with layers, the elements on the layers are rearrangting themselves. For example: I have a 45 page document, with 3 layers (Dieline, Background, Artwork). When I export the PDF, all of the layers are in the proper order, but only Page 1 has the creative elements on the proper layers (Pages 2-45 take all artwork and move it up to the top-most layer).

    You’ll need a script. What version of InDesign? Is it fully patched? How are you viewing the PDF?

  • Multi-page tables crashing in InDesign

    Could anyone please provide some general advice about working with multi-page tables in InDesign, which appear to be very unstable.
    Over the past year or so, my team and I have worked with InDesign 5 and 5.5 on both Mac (10.6) and Windows (XP and 7) machines. In that time we have found if there’s one thing that will cause InDesign to crash it’s a table that runs over several pages and particularly (though not exclusively) if it’s got merged cells.  Add that extra row, merge that extra cell, even just insert your text cursor as you prepare to change some text and InDesign seems to reach a point where the “straw breaks the donkey’s back” and it falls over. At least it usually has the courtesy to reopen at exactly the point where the crash occurs with all the other changes that have been made still in place, whether they have been manually saved or not.
    The really weird thing is that sometimes the same file will crash on all the machines at the same point (as you would expect) but sometimes the files which crash on Windows machines will work fine on Macs and the files which crash on Macs will work fine on Windows machines. There doesn’t appear to be much of a consistent pattern to what’s going on.
    However, the solutions are always the same. First, unmerge any merged cells and adjust the border/fill commands to hide the fact they are now unmerged and then, if that doesn’t work, split the table up into separate chunks and put them into a separate text box on each page - that always seems to fix the problem, although the benefits of linked text boxes are now lost.
    I’ve had a scoot round the web and on these forums and whilst I can find quite a lot of material on this topic, there doesn’t appear to be anything that relates to our issue directly. I realise that I haven’t given specific information on what happens to us because it’s just something that happens every so often and we’re usually working so fast that there’s no time to carry out a detailed analysis of what’s going on, we just fix it and carry on. I’d be grateful if anyone could offer a general overview of what’s happening and maybe suggest some preventative measures we could take to reduce/eliminate the chances of this happening in the future.
    As always, thanks in advance for any and all advice offered.

    Hi folks,
    I have a similar problem with several dokuments running tables over 20 to 30 pages. Since InDesign CS5 I have crashes on random times and issues. I have built up the whole Document from scratch, because I thought saving them from older versions might cause the problem. I have started with a new document editing a table that runs over 5 pages with no merged cells in it which I had before. Now InDesign starts to crash again.
    – It crashes when I type more text than fits in the table cell
    – It crashes when I try to apply the standard paragraph style
    – It crashes altough I have saved an .idml-File to clean it
    – The problem appears in CS6 and CC also
    – I have tried copy/paste to a new document, which worked until I copied a particular table row. Then it started to crash again.
    Something weird I recognized is that all umlauts (I'm writing german text) are shown with wrong symbols in Story Editor (Textmodus) but not in the table itself. Maybe there lies the main problem?
