DPS and Scrollable Frame text

Having an issue with text rendering inside a scrollable frame, it seems to be cut off slightly at the top. Seems to be a new issue, is there an solution outside of just adding a return before the first line of text?
Thanks.

Thanks, Bob. Seems like a fairly simple fix. Appreciate the help!

BUGS: stop at last image and scrollable frames

Hey,
I think I've identified two bugs in the latest release:
1) MSO slideshows that have Autoplay checked, don't respect the "Stop at last image" option, and return to the first stage regardless. This behavior only occures some of the times, and I am not certain what makes it happen. I think it may only happen with slideshows in which are configured to be exported in vector format.
2) Scrollable boxes that are configured to be vertically scrollable only, are also horizontally scrollable, if the content of the scrollable box exeeds the horizontal limits of the scrollable frame.
Did anyone else expirience these bugs? Any workarounds or fixes?
Thanks

Doesn’t anyone bother to read?
I’m sorry, but It’s getting quite frustrating answering the same question over and over.
We now have about 15 threads on the same subject.
If you had read back just a few posts you’d know there’s a bug causing this.

Preview and scrollable text problems

Is anyone else having problems getting the scrollable text function to work in an overlay to a fixed layout ePub? I have the latest version of InDesign CC, purchased last week.
Here is a picture of my file. As you can see, it's pretty darn simple. Content box is on the right. You can't see the entire box but It is long enough to fit all of my text. On the left, I created a container box, wider but shorter than the content box. I then selected the content and used Paste Into to put the content into the container. Next, I selected the container, went to Folio Overlays, and I designated the content box as vertical scrolling, start at upper left, and Vector format. But when when I tried to preview it (more on preview problems in a minute), the container appears as a simple text box with no scrolling capability. I've asked the Adobe help people and they don't seem to have any ideas yet.
As far as preview goes, well, I can export to Adobe Digital Editions or I can look at the page in Window/Interactive/EPUB Interactivity Preview. But File/Folio Preview just processes the page and then returns nothing. And the same thing happens when I hit Preview in the Folio Overlays panel.
I'd love to know if this is unique to my system or a common problem. Since I only purchased CC to produce annotated books, there is not much I can do without it. And if CC doesn't do it, does anyone have a suggestion for something a non-programmer could use to get the same result?
Thanks for any help.

Scrollable frames are a DPS -- Digital Publishing Suite-- function (as are all other effects from the Folio Overlay panel). Those are a different beast than Fixed-Layout EPUBs.
For fixed-layout, all interactivity is supported (any panel in the Windows > Interactive flyout) except for Forms, Page Transitions, and the two Animation presets Smoke and Blur. Note that the panels Folio Builder and Folio Overlays are not part of the Interactive group of panels.
I know it's very confusing!
If you're trying to create an *app* then you use DPS, and you should be asking this question in the DPS forum.
Digital Publishing Suite
If you're trying to create an *ebook* then this is the forum to post in.

DPS scrollable frame

Hi there,
Just wondering if you can make a scrollable frame of images the same as you would make a scrollable text frame?, If so, what is the simplist way to go about it (lining the photos up and using a container, paste into? just like you'd do a text frame?!
Thank you !

Please post DPS questions in the DPS forum in the future: http://forums.adobe.com/community/dps

How to access the Text Frame, when we use scrollable frame,

Hi Friends,
How to access the Text Frame, when we use scrollable frame,
Thank you,
[ Nav ]

That's the same question:
how can I access something (a page item) on a page…
Answer: you need something unique in that object you can get a handle on.
Or you use the selection a user of your script is doing and work with that selection…
A "scrollable frame" is nothing special. What it makes it a "scrollable frame" is the DPS software.
So you have to look for attached labels on the object, that identify the object for the PDS plug-in "Overlay Creator" as a "scrollable frame". That's possible with the "extractLabel("KeyString")" function. But you need to know the appropriate key-string in advance.
In another of your thread in the DPS forum, I basically answered the question how to obtain those key-strings.
When knowing the key-string you could loop through all your page items (you can skip all text frames) in the allPageItems-collection, to identify the "scrollable frame" by extracting the right label.
If you have more than one "scollable frames" you need a second unique identifier for the particular object.
That could be nearly any property.
Keep in mind, there is no "scrollableFrames" collection in the DOM !

Scrollable frame is text: anchored object in text can not be button?

Following example: A textframe. With an anchored object (group). Paste textframe in other frame to make scrollable frame (pan only). Select anchored frame in already pasted into textframe, make button for anchored object (go to state).
Does not work, button does nothing (and yes a converted it to a button after the paste into other frame as last step).
Not possible?
DPS v18

If you want the button in the scrollable frame to control an MSO state, the button/scrollable frame needs to be part of the MSO. It is an InDesign limitation that buttons cannot control videos, audio clips, or MSOs unless they're on the same "level" in the document.

Scrollable frames and hyperlinks

hi all!
is it possible to make a scrollable frame content (text only), and place hyperlinks in it?
i've tried several process, but the link doesn't works... any idea?
thanks!

Ask here and make sure it's a detailed feature request along with WHY
this would benefit all users.

And note that this is strictly an InDesign limitation so make the
request under InDesign.
Your voice can't hurt and with Creative Cloud, new features can be added
any time. No need to wait for major releases anymore.
InDesign CC will be available tomorrow.

Jagged Text In Scrollable Frame

We have created a folio which contains a scrollable frame with text in it. It functions correctly; however, the text looks jagged when we preview on an iPad. All the other text in the folio that is not in a scrollable frame looks great. Any thoughts?

You have PDF folio, but the text in scrollframe is bitmap. You must turn on option tlhat let you use vector text in scrollframes. Folio format version needs to be greater than 22.

Hyperlinks in a scrollable frame moving on scroll

Context:
Application for iPad, created in inDesign with DPS.
Situation:
We have a table inserted into a vertically scrollable frame. On top, we have a series of links that correspond to the table text (please see screenshot below).
Problem:
When the table is scrolled all the way to the top, the links shift and no longer correspond the text.
Details:
The links and the table are grouped. They were cut and placed into a scrollable frame.
          The links work.
          The scrolling works.
          The links correspond properly to the text when the content is in the 'top left'.
          Scrolling partly up, the links are still okay.
          Scrolling all the way up, and the links scroll further than the table, causing them to be off.
Screenshot below:
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Bob. I think I found the problem -- the new guy hadn't removed the old scrollable frame from the text when he added the links, so the links were in a scrollable frame, and the text table was actually inside two scrollable frames.
Sorry to have wasted your time with something that turned out to be an error on our side.

Problems with scrollable frames

I have an old DPS file that has videos inside a scrollable frame and they work fine. However, i am updating my files and in the new CS6/cc when i create the content, I group all the items, cut and paste into the smaller textframe and when i go to the Folio Overlays panel with the text frame highlighted, the option for scrollable frames is greyed out. Video is highlighted but it will not allow me to create a scrollable frame. Does anyone have a recommendation for what i am doing wrong.

You are correct, I missed your point.
I got it this time though and it worked!
Wow, nifty work around. Thanks.
Now that I have successfully embedded video within the scrollable frame, I am concerned about the 2 GB max from apple.
I researched streaming video and successfully tested this, however it seems the frame for the video needs to be scaled to the preferred viewable size because there is not an option for “play full screen”. As you can see in the screenshot below, I am trying to place the video under the play button using streaming content.
Do you know if this is possible?

Scrollable Frames bugs

Hi,
I got some errors with drop 19 while creating my first magazine....
1. Horizontal slider, placed on the left side. On the right side is an image with a contour and a textflow (nor sure whats the name for that n english...). If you scroll the text horizontally to the left, the textflow is as if the image is placed in the text. The issue is, that theres a bug with the overlay and placed mages on top of it, it thinks it is placed within the scrollable text
2. You cannot leave a page without a button when the scrollable text area is too big. I think at the end of the srollable text the page should flip. Users might be confused if nothing happens. This must be fixed soon. As i have a single license and a tight time frame, i cannot fix it later (without paying for it again..). Drop 19 is nearly useless with.scrollable frames, i read a couple of ther reports naming that issue...
Hope to get some jelpfull answers. In my opninion, the whole dps is in early beta. I started using it with drop 9, the handling is better now, but some fetures are still missing...
Kind regards
Simon

Another issue: scrollable text withn a scrollable text is working, but only if the scrolling frame is visible. If it is not visible on lage load, the font site s reduced and not scrolling, it is repeatsble, i can provide indd files if required

Problem with V19 Scrollable Frame

I have a magazine that worked find on V18 of producer tools, since I upgraded to V19 I am having ptoblems.
I have a standard page size 2048x1536 (iPad 3), and I have the whole page set as a scrollable frame with a background placed behind it. Then all my content for the page is pasted into the scrollable frame which runs much lower than the 2048 page length. You can then scroll the page within the scrollable frame rather than having a long page to scroll down. This also creates a nice layering effect where the content moves on top of a static background.
This worked fine for me on V18 producer tools, but now when I load my magazine onto my iPad, I'm scrolling through articles and when I hit the page with the scrollable frame you can no longer scroll left or right and you're stuck on the page...
Any idea how I can fix this as I have a client that has seen and likes the layering effect? Last thing I want to do is have to remove it and just make a long page.

Which totally sucks, BTW.
If you use JPG or PNG then it works but you lose the razor sharp text and pinch and zoom that PDF provides.
I really don't get this one, either. Especially since the scrollable frames option gives you the ability to make it vertical only. That should eliminate any "confusion" as to which way to you want to scroll and which way you want to swipe.

Scrollable frame scaling problems

Hello all,
Having a funny problem I've never encountered before. I've got the usual set-up for a scrollable frame ( content / content frame ) I've grouped it all together and then when I paste it into the content frame it either scales itself down and then when I tried it again it scaled itself up. The content in question is a combination of picture and text. Anyone encountered this before? Any solutions? The only solution I found was to copy an old scrollable box box from an old page.
As always any help is much appreciated.

Right click the frame and choose Fitting > Frame Fitting Options. Deselect Auto-Fit:

Scrollable frame length

Is there a limit to length of content that can be pasted into scrollable frames? I have a vertical scrolling frame of copy, but it won't scroll the the end on the pasted content.

Hi Bob,
mystery solved. The text was set to 'align to baseline grid' so wouldn't move beyond the page. The pasteboard doesn't seem to affect the height of the pasted content now. I reduced it back down to the default height and it works fine.

Video nested into scrollable frame

hi everyone...in past versions of dps tools, i can made a scrollable frame with photos and video in one group into the scrollable frame ..now i can't (the folio overlay option is not activate)....do you know why? or how can i make that now? is for the v29 dps tools?
thanks

Hi Bob -- I just encountered this bug. I wanted to paste a set of images and a video in a scrolling frame, which as discussed in January, doesn't work anymore. I'm in v30. Have they fixed this? What I had to do was make 2 sets. One group of images and one group of images and the video. Pasted just the images, set up the scroll, then deleted them and pasted in the second set with the video. Ack! Any better way? Thanks, Beth
