Drag and drop in Page Builder

Hi,
Is there any way to enable drag & drop between ContentItem components in the Page Builder interface without having to do custom Flex programming? We would like to allow the user to switch a cartridge position in a page template without having to re-select the cartridge and enter content in again.

Do you mean that you want to be able to drag and drop between sections within the page, drag and drop within the same section, or drag and drop across to a different page?

I am trying to drag and drop one page of a .pdf into another .pdf in Acrobat Reader. I used to be able to drag and drop from one .pdf to another.

If you could drag and drop pages before, it wasn't in Reader. You no doubt had Adobe Acrobat (Pro or Standard) which shouldn't be confused with Adobe Acrobat Reader. They recently added Acrobat to the name of Adobe Reader so the confusion about which product you had and/or have is understandable.

Can't drag and drop from page view

Can't drag and drop from page view to desktop even though plus icon shows up for duplicating the page. On Mac 10.9.2 Acrobat XI. I don't want to extract through the menu and associated dialogues. Its slow and cumbersome.

Hi Peterbruce,
Acrobat for Windows will let you select pages in the Pages panel and drag them to your desktop, but that isn't an option in Acrobat for Mac OS. You can drag thumbnails from the Pages panel in one doc, to the Pages panel in another, however.
Best,

Cannot drag and drop PDF pages in Yosemite Preview App

I suddenly cannot drag and drop PDF pages into the open preview PDF Yosemite> Why?
I open a PDF in preview.
I used to be able to simply drag a PDF from the desktop (or a JPG) into that open PDF in Preview.
Now it won;t let me?
Is this a bug or is there a new procedure for this?
Thanks!
Mike

Have you run any "cleaning" or "optimizing" apps on your Mac or have any antivirus software installed?
Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down), select Disk Utility and repair both the disk permissions and the disk. Reboot normally and try again.
If the above fails reboot into the Recovery volume and reinstall the system. Repair disk permissions afterward.
Also, as a test, log into another user account on your Mac and see if the problem persists there. If it does then it's a system wide issue. If not, it's an account issue.

When drag and dropping a page to a separate folder the default name is "Untitled Extract Pages.pdf", how do I change this to other default name?

Drag and Drop of Page from Content Finder into Page Component

Hi,
Does anybody has a sample code for Page component which accepts the page when dragging and dropping from the content finder? Basically I am trying to create a web page with page component on it and customized the content finder to display all the pages that I needed on a separate tab, I am trying to drag and drop the pages from the content finder to the page component of the web page that I created, but it is not working for me. If someone has any sample working code please share it.
Thanks

Hi,
There's no direct support for this. But you could implement
drag and drop the way you normally would in javascript. Except
here, on mouseUp over a div encapsulating the object or embed tag
(the flash object), you'll need to make a call into actionscript
from javascript indicating that a drag and drop happened.
For more info, see
how
to drag and drop using javascript and
actionscript
and javascript communication

Can't Replace Pages (via drag and drop in Pages panel) in Acrobat 9 Pro

I'm running OS X 10.5.8, Acrobat Pro 9.1.3, PPC G5 PowerMac.
I'll have two PDFs open and I'll want to replace certain pages from document A with certain pages from document B. Rather than using the Replace Pages command from the Document menu, I prefer to visually see what I'm changing. For this reason I've always preferred the drag and drop method, where one selects a page thumbnail from one document and drops it onto a page thumbnail in another document. This only seems to be a problem in Acrobat 9. This works fine in Acrobat 7.1.1 and 8.1.6. Drag and drop will allow one to insert pages but the replacement of pages is not working. As described in Acrobat Help, under "Replace pages using a page thumbnail," I try to drop the page thumbnail onto the page number as prescribed but the page to be replaced never highlights like it should. It will only give the insertion highlight between each page, indicating that it is about to insert a page.
Other macs exhibit the same behavior -- it always works in Acrobat 7 and 8 but not 9.
Thank you for your assistance.

I'm using the Windows version of Acrobat Pro 9 and found this thread with the same problem. (Key command to replace on Windows is: Ctrl + Alt).
Anyway, to answer the how to disable the warning, go to the Acrobat Preferences. In the General category under "Warnings", check the setting "Do not show edit warnings". There should be a similar setting on the Mac version.
(Now I wish replacing pages didn't require a key command like in previous versions.)

Can't Drag and Drop from pages bar in Acrobat XI Pro for Mac?

MAC OSX 10.7.5
Acrobat XI Pro
In adobe Acrobat XI for Mac, how do I drag pages from the Pages Thumbnail sidebar into finder and make a new PDF?
In windows I can simply select the pages, drag and drop them into Explorer and it creates a completely new PDF with the pages I dragged. I've tried everything on my Mac and I can't get it to extract this way.
It's extremely slow and frustrating having to manually right click extract, select the pages, open it in a new adobe window, then have to save the file through the menu.
On windows I just select the page, drag to the folder, click , and rename.

I was suddenly having the same problem in Acrobat XI Pro for Windows (recently upgraded to CC from Acrobat X). For the past while I've sometimes had to use the "insert from file" tool to get a page added from another file. I couldn't figure out why dragging sometimes would no longer work, but was too busy to go looking for a solution until tonight.
The solution was given by JoshTatum24 above. Switch from a scrolling page display to single page display. Now I can drag pages between documents again. THANK YOU Josh!
Oh, and CORREAdmin, it does not matter whether the hand or arrow selection tool is active, my mouse pointer is always an arrow when positioned in the page thumbnails panel. Switching selection tools does not make a difference in dragging, but switching between scrolling and single page display definitely DOES make the difference.

Drag and Drop in Procedure Builder :-(

Drag and Drop works in SQL Worksheet BUT it does not work in procedure builder :'-(
It would be nice to have same feature working everywhere. The work around is first drag and drop table in SQL Worksheet to get syntax and then cutting and pasting it in procedure builder.
Production ver
Windows XP

Just fixed this as well as the drop will drop the code where it is dropped instead of at the end or where the caret was when the drag started. Look for it when the first patch comes out.

Drag and drop - like the builder?

Hi team,
It's nice to have drag-and-drop repositioning in the builder. It would be even nicer to be able to offer it to my users.
Is there any sort of guidance available on how to replicate the functionality of P5150 of the builder?
Thanks
jd

Hi JD,
Yes absolutely you can do that in APEX, however there is not really built-in support for it (although you can refactor the code used in the builder if you choose), but instead of doing that I would recommend using a 3rd party javascript library to make it much easier, two of the most commonly used for that type of drag-drop effect (generally speaking) are -
Yahoo UI Library - http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/dragdrop/
jQuery UI Library - http://ui.jquery.com/demos/draggable
I've used both and my preference is the jQuery library (for a few different reasons that I won't go into here), however if you follow their demos/guide you should be able to see just how easy it is to incorporate it into APEX (there is little APEX-specific coding you need to do really).
Hope this helps,
John.

Drag and Drop on Page Component

Hi,
I have an edit configuration which looks like this:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <jcr:root xmlns:cq="http://www.day.com/jcr/cq/1.0" xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0" xmlns:nt="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/nt/1.0"
        jcr:primaryType="cq:EditConfig">
        <cq:dropTargets jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
            <title-data-reference
                jcr:primaryType="cq:DropTargetConfig"
                accept="[.*]"
                groups="[title]"
                propertyName="./title" />
        </cq:dropTargets>
        <cq:listeners
            jcr:primaryType="cq:EditListenersConfig"
            afteredit="REFRESH_PAGE" />
    </jcr:root>
The drop taget in the JSP is defined like this:
    <div class="<%=DropTarget.CSS_CLASS_PREFIX%>title-data-reference">
        <b>Drop it here</b>
    </div>
When I use this in a "normal" component drag and drop from the content finder works fine. When I *** the same edit configuration and the same drop target code to my page component, which has sling:resourceSuperType="foundation/components/page" specified, the drop area is not recognisable as a drop area.
Both component and the page component dialog have a pathfield widget defined:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <jcr:root xmlns:cq="http://www.day.com/jcr/cq/1.0" xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0" xmlns:nt="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/nt/1.0"
        jcr:primaryType="cq:Widget"
        fieldLabel="Titel"
        name="./title"
        rootTitle="Titel"
        xtype="pathfield"
        rootPath="/etc/xxx/titles">
    </jcr:root>
Is a page component different from a "normal" component so that it does not accept a drop? Am I missing something else?
Thanks in advance,
Ronald

Hi Jörg,
good to hear from you.
This would not really do what I want. I want to be able to associate a title (in my case a book title) with a page by dropping it on it. Then I have multiple parsyses (e.g. center, east) on my page and can drop components onto these which will display content from the title associated with the page.
Currently I can only drag titles onto each individual component. If I followed your advise I would still have to drag the title onto multiple parsyses. Therefore it would really be helpful if CQ allowed you to drop stuff onto a page.
In my opinion this would also be helpful for the geometrix outdoors example where one drops products onto a product-component. As soon as you want add another component to the page displaying different data from or based the same product you would need to drag the same product onto that new component.
Best,
Ronald

Drag and Drop "Open page to drop 3 successive objects"

I created a script in Adobe to make a drag and drop. Everything works, but my problem is to cause the opening of a page after 3 successive objects on the drop. Would you have the solution?
my script:
// insert code to be run when the symbol is created here
yepnope({nope:['jquery-ui-1.10.4.custom.min.js'], complete: init});
function init(){
                //Use the code! Draggable! Droppable!!
                sym.$('ourson').draggable({opacity:.5, revert:'invalid'});
   //Droppable... on the target!
sym.$('Rectangle2').droppable({drop: function() {sym.getSymbol('ourson').play();}});
   //Use the code! Draggable! Droppable!!
                sym.$('girafe').draggable({opacity:.5, revert:'invalid'});
   //Droppable... on the target!
sym.$('Rectangle2').droppable({drop: function() {sym.getSymbol('girafe').play();}});
   //Use the code! Draggable! Droppable!!
                sym.$('ballon').draggable({opacity:.5, revert:'invalid'});
   //Droppable... on the target!
sym.$('Rectangle2').droppable({drop: function() {sym.getSymbol('ballon').play();}});

Drag and drop from pages tab

I am trying to drag a page from acrobat reader into a C# application. The only information i need from acrobat is the filename and the page number or numbers. Is this information accessible? Do i need to cast the dataObject i am being sent to a different type? Has anyone had success with drag and drop from inside accrobat to another application?
Any help at all would be very appreciated.

Reader does NOT support dragging from the pages panel.
Adobe Acrobat, however, does. But the only supported destinations for dragging from the pages tab are another Acrobat window or the Finder/Explorer. Any other destination is untested and unsupported.

Drag and Drop Layout with items attached to Page 0 Region Bug

Hi,
I have a region on P0 (P0_REGION) and multiple page items (not on page 0) are associated to the region. When I go to "Drag and Drop" the page items I see all the Page Items for the given page and all the Page Items that are linked to a P0 Region. For Example:
P0:
Region: P0_REGION
P100:
Items: P100_X, Region: P0_REGION
P200:
Items: P200_Y, Region: P0_REGION
Now on P200, click on "Drag and Drop" above P200_Y I'll see P100_X and P200_Y.
This is a bit of an issue if you have a lot of items that are linked to a region on Page 0 but actually belong to another page.
Is this a bug?
Thank you,
Martin Giffy D'Souza

Why can I drag and drop from Photos to Pages, but not to Microsoft Word 2011

I'm unable, under OS X 10.10.3, to drag and drop pictures from Photo into Word for Mac 2011. I can paste from Photos into Pages. How can I add Word to the list of programs that can take pasted photos pasted from Photos

Drag and Drop support is done programmatically as part of the application design. There is no user settable configuration, or list of programs that you can add Word too. Apple has supported drag and drop in Pages for a long time, and from iPhoto or Aperture picture libraries. Microsoft chose another path.
I don't have Office for Mac 2011, but I can state that Word 15.8.1 in Office for Mac 2015 Preview does not accept drag/drop of images from Photos either. It compensates by offering Insert ▸ Pictures ▸ Photo Browser… and when selected, displays an image panel not unlike Pages offers when clicking images from its Toolbar. At the top of this Word Preview panel is the Photos logo. It is from this Photos browser panel, that Word Preview accepts drag/drop of images. It may be that way in Word in Office for Mac 2011 too.
