Editing the position of a floating window video for an interactive PDF

I'm fairly new to InDesign CS5's interactive features, so forgive me if I'm making a blatant mistake. However, everything I have read about floating windows says that you can easily adjust the size and position in the Interactive PDF options dialog and I am not able to. I have no problem getting the video to play in a floating window, the problem is that I am unable to change the position settings. It is locked as "centered" though when I view the PDF, the window pops up in the upper right and extends beyond the frame of my window. How do I unlock the position settings and get it to actually play centered?
I have tried this using a placed .mov video and I also tried converting it to a F4V file, because I read those worked better, but still no luck.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Any solutions?
Thanks!

PDF (Portable Document Format) used to be a proprietary standard developed by Adobe Systems. A few years ago, they decided to make it an international standard, no longer proprietary: ISO 32000.

International standards are managed by standards organizations which meet with a committee structure. As such, they are slower to adapt to new techologies.
By contrast, Adobe Digital Publishing Suite, it an active, rapidly-changing, PROPRIETARY set of applications and cloud-based services.
Both models have their advantages and disadvantages.

How do you host your external videos for good interactive PDF playback? Recommendation needed.

I'm trying to find out a good solution for adding externally hosted video content to an interactive PDF.
I understand that Vimeo/YouTube is out so I'm hoping to host content with a dedicated (payed service) video host.
Does anyone have a recommendation of a good video host for this purpose or indeed any tips/pitfalls in doing it this way?
The document needs to be lightweight so I can't embed videos.
Thanks!

I use iDefrag.
http://coriolis-systems.com/iDefrag.php
The also have a program called iPartition that does non-destructive partitioning very well. Coriolis Systems seems to do an excellent job writing their software in a way that respects OS X. Check out their website for a demo and a list of features.
I use the online defrag (it's quick and easy) once a week or so, and every three weeks or month I run a full defrag. To do a full defrag you need to either start up from another drive with iDefrag on it (I use my external Firewire drive) or burn a CD using the included utility to start up from.
I've been very impressed with this software and have found it invaluable for installing BootCamp on some laptops that had fairly full HDs where otherwise Boot Camp would say it couldn't partition.
iDefrag also optimizes the order of files on the disk and places metadata at the start of the drive for quick access. You can specify or create custom optimization algorithims if you have particular needs that vary from the norm.

Initially I had downloaded Document 2 (Free) application to view my doc, ppt and xls files. I was not able to edit the files so there was an option for upgrade the Document-2 free to paid version. I have upgraded the Document 2 application.

Initially I had downloaded Document 2 (Free) application to view my doc, ppt and xls files. I was not able to edit the files so there was an option for upgrade the Document-2 free to paid version. I have upgraded the Document 2 application. But on my iPad now there are to application present Docemnt-2 (Free) and Document-2. I am not able to open any existing document using the upgraded version of application. How do I connect all the existing txt,PPT,XLS doccument to the new upgraded Document-2 application and then to edit it on my iPad.

As suggested I had deleted the free application and did a hard restart the iPad. I have again copied the document using iTunes. But I am not able to edit any document using this app. Document 2 (paid version) supports editing features of the txt/ xls /ppt files. Is there any problem while loading the Document 2 app. If I reload then do I need to purchase again?

Distiller will suddenly close/crash the *SECOND* time I open a file for converting to PDF.

The subject heading says it all: Distiller will suddenly close/crash the *SECOND* time I open a file for converting to PDF.
But I think I have a clue why this is happening. Typically, I use Distiller to convert EPS or PS files into PDFs. Also, almost without fail, I embed the required fonts (exclusively Type 1) directly into the EPS/PS files (using the required PFA format) so no local fonts on my computer are needed to be looked for by Distiller to be embedded in the resulting PDF; they're already in the EPS/PS files.
But yesterday, I attempted to convert some EPS/PS files to PDFs using Distiller in which I had NOT embedded the Type 1 fonts (in PFA format, of course) in the source EPS/PS files. The first such conversion would work (in which I select "Open" and choose an EPS/PS file for conversion), but after that initial conversion, the *SECOND* time I clicked on "Open" (open file), Distiller would immediately close/crash.
I then searched the web for answers, and discovered some people were having trouble getting Distiller to initialize if any of their computer system fonts were read-only. So, I went back to my EPS/PS files and embedded the required Type 1 (PFA format) fonts into them, and then—magically—Distiller worked without a hitch: I could open and convert any number of them in succession, with Distiller never closing/crashing.
So, I concluded the reason that Distiller had been crashing upon the second attempted opening of a file (again, simply by pressing the "open" button to search for a file to convert, *not* after selecting a file) must have had something to do with Distiller scanning my computer's installed fonts when there was no embedded PFA font to reference, and a read-only font on my system was causing the problem. However, I looked in the two logical places where my fonts should be located (c:\psfonts and c:\windows\fonts), but found *no* font files' attributes set to "read-only" So, I'm stumped.
I'm using Distiller Pro 10.1.1316 (acrodist.exe) on a Win 8.1 machine. I've found similar posts, going back to 2004, about Distiller immediately crashing after opening when some fonts are read-only; I haven't yet found a post about anyone successfully using Distiller to convert one EPS or PS file to PDF, and then having the program crash when the "Open" button is pressed subsequently. Any clues, anyone?

Never heard about the crash and that does not sound normal. Be sure to do the updates to Acrobat in case that resolves the issue. You might also check the font settings in the settings file and check to ignore the error if the font can not be embedded and Distiller should use what it considers to be the closest system font.

Can I edit the system file Manifest.XML in Word for Windows? (there's a reason for doing this)

I renamed a file directory containing several PDFs. Consequently, Adobe Digital Editions says these files are missing when I try to open them and look at notes I made. There seems to be an obvious solution, but I'm unfamiliar with XML and don't want to screw things up. The file locations and a lot of other information for Digital Editions is in an XML file called Manifest. If I can edit the XML file to show the correct directory, I expect I'd be able to see these files and recover my notes. I'm unsure what Word for Windows may do (e.g., add or delete characters) when I edit and save the new Manifest. That might corrupt the Manifest and be extremely counterproductive.
Is editing the file locations in Word for Windows safe, so long as Digital Editions isn't open when I do my editing?

I can confirm that Notepad++ can happily edit manifest.xml files, but as Jim_Lester says, make a backup (especially if you are not used to XML).
You may well find that if you Open the .epub files from their new location explicitly from ADE (ctrl-O) that you will both be able to read documents and see the notes.
I can't vouch for that; but if it works I'd recommend it over editing the manifest file.

Is it possible to controll the positioning of a new window when someone clicks one of my links

I was wondering if it was possible to control the positoning of a new window that pops up when someone clicks one of my site document links on my dreamweaver site. When a link is clicked and the new window pops up, I'd like to control the window size and positioning of the new window. Is this possible without having to use a tooltip or other option?

Some browsers will display pop-up windows in the parent window, some will open them in a new tab or new window. I'm afraid there is nothing you can do about end user settings.

What is the best way to export a video for broadcast using FCE? H264?

I need to get the best quality HD video for broadcast using final cut express and I need to know all info and settings please?

Hello,
You need to find out from the broadcaster what specs they require you to meet. H.264 is probably not it.

Emailing video in an interactive PDF

Hi,
I'm having an incomplete result from an interactive PDF made in InDesign CS5. I am using a MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.8.
I made a 1-page invitation. It has two images. One is static, one is Flash video. I imported the Flash, and then I used the Media window palette to add a Poster (the first, static pic) and a flash playback controller.
I exported the page as an interactive PDF. When I view the exported image in Acrobat, everything is fine. It is also crrect in Reader.
When I attach the PDF in Mail, Gmail or Yahoo mail, the frame containing the video is empty. What can make this happen, and how can I fix it?
Thanks!

That works in one respect, Steve, since the unstuffed PDF will open in Reader or Acrobat. My goal, however, is to get the PDF to look correct when someone sees it in Mail. Is thee any way to do that?
Thanks,
Nicky

Is it possible to create a text link to a video in an interactive pdf

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew how to create a text link to a video within the same interactive pdf?
I've seen that you can create buttons to link to video's but nothing about linking from text
thanks in advance for any assistance

HI Bernd,
The video above does not show me how to link to a video have it start playing.
I know it is also possible in indesign to have a button link to a specific point in a video, but I haven't been able to find out how to do that from a text link.
so for example. the text could say "watch our video, or click here to learn about subject two".
where - "learn about subject two" takes the user to a specific part of the video, and makes it start to play.

What is the easy way to create a crossword with InDesign CS5 for a interactive pdf?

I mean I want to create a pdf magazine and i like to include a crossword. I read somewhere that one way is create a crossword with an external software and include it in the ID project but I don't know any crossword software and if I add in my ID project, I only need to export like a interactive pdf? I would like that the users can use the crossword in online version.
Regards from Lima, Perú

Hi.
I'm not sure about what to you mean. But I create first the crossword with Excel, I mean to put the words in the right order and the questions and/or cue too. Then I create a table in InDesign and format some cells with black background and some borders. I upload both captures, from Excel and from InDesigne. Then with Adobe X Pro I create a form, so I can create singles inputs for the crossword.
I hope i understand your question.

On a Mac with two monitors, how do I get a new FF window to open on the second monitor? I can do this on a Windows XP box easily enough but on a Mac FF won't remember the position of a new window. Please help!

I proof websites for a living and workflow is everything. On my 26" main monitor I have FF running the job tracking web site. In this site, there are links to the sites I need to proof. I would like to be able to right click on a URL and select 'open in new window' and have that window open up on my second monitor.

Here's some more info about the router settings:
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
You should be able to get into the setup of your router by typing the IP address into your browser.
Depending on your router security setup, you might need the MAC address of your iPad, to allow access to your network, if the so called MAC filtering is active.
You can also check the name of your home network if your click on the AirPort icon on your desktop of your MacBook.
