Embed Video PDF InDesign Booklet with Page Transitions & Playable Video

e.g.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign...3D6C6A460.html
also such as:
http://www.page-flip.com (although yet to implement feature...)
So...
Is there any way to get embedded video within pdf - once placed in InDesign - to export (either swf or xfl) creating a booklet-type publication with page transitions (curl/ page-flip) with the videos playable?

Only Adobe Acrobat or Reader can show those PDFs (and many others) correctly. Are you sure that the PDF was opened in one of these 2 applications and not in Apple Preview or Ghostviewer or something else?
Only Adobe Reader 9 and X and Acrobat 9 and X can show PDFs with Flash content correctly. If you have an older version, let us say Version 8 or older, you are not able to see Flash content at all. If you have a newer version, that is Reader XI or Acrobat XI you need additional Adobe Flash player have installed on that computer and allow access to your PDFs. Can you check, if these substantial requirement are fulfilled?

Can I embed a PDF file within a Pages document?

I am working with Pages '09 and would like to embed a rather long PDF document file into my Pages text. I want the reader to be able to click on the PDF file and have it open so that the reader can gather more information on the subject without making the actual Pages document text any longer. I don't want the PDF file to be an external link that sends the reader away from the document -- I want to know if I can embed the PDF file WITHIN the pages document and have it open only when clicked. I don't think I can do this. Thanks.

I found my answer within archived discussions - convert the file to a PDF and then embed the PDF file as an attachment. Thanks.

InDesign CS 6 Page Transitions

I'm trying to create 'previous' and 'next' page invisible buttons for an interactive PDF with each button using a different transition. For example, the 'next page' button would use the 'Wipe' with a 'left' direction setting and the 'Previous page' button using the 'Wipe' with a 'right' direction setting. My problem is that its not allowing me to set different setting to each button. I've created docs with these exact options in the past with no issues until recently. Can someone supply me with a solution or reason I can't do separate transitions?

Steve is correct; page transitions are not applied to buttons. If you want differing transitions on odd and even pages, in the Pages panel, select all the odd-numbered pages and apply one transition using the Pages panel menu. Then invert your selection, (select all the even-numbered pages), and apply the other transition from the Pages panel menu.
Export ast PDF Interactive and set it to open full-screen, with page transitions "from document".
I just did a quick experiment here to confirm it works. My experiment included prev/next buttons, but the transitions work the way you want with or without buttons, because again, the transitions and the buttons are unrelated.

PDF Color issues with Pages 09

I made a new Page Layout document with Pages 09. I created my own page templates for this document. The left page of the document uses a wide blue filled band and the right page uses a narrower blue filled band.
Both use the same exact color. (I'm even using the DigitalColor Meter app to show me this.)
I exported the finished file to pdf using the best setting. When I open it up in Adobe acrobat reader, I now have two different colors. One is purplish, the other is navy blue. This is visible on the PC screen. If I open it up in Preview on my mac, they are all the same color.
Any ideas?

Well, yes. I was more after links to information about why they wait.
There is a legal side and a technical side. The legal side revolves around antitrust issues, apparently. The technical side revolves around the same issues as in the past.
Through cross-licencing, Adobe Systems controls the composition model and the configuration of composition products at any point in time.
At the Seybold Conference on Computer Publishing in September 1989, John Warnock stated that the proposed protective separation of character processing from glyph processing was "garbage" - according to the New York Times.
In December 1990, the PostScript Language Reference Manual, Second Edition, Appendix E, published how drawing ligatures, small capitals etc would be done by overruling the character set.
This is the road to destructive drawing: it sacrifices content-based spelling, searching and sorting for the sake of appearance-based composition.
The Apple developer discussion stated in 1992 that a composition model that can draw a glyph design if and only if the glyph codes is directly depicted onto a character code is disastrous.
By the time QuickDraw GX was available in q3 1994 there were at least 15,000 Adobe Type 1 products and at least 100 million licences (there were 22 million licences in September 1989).
By promoting the Adobe Type 1 library, and in particular the Adobe Type 1 Expert library, Adobe destroyed the text services of Apple Mac OS, simply.
Microsoft TrueImage was discontinued partly because PostScript Level 2 does not support the screen in its colour management model and partly because Adobe Type 1 and the PostScript use of a completely configurable name space instead of a coded character set allows Adobe to overrule the OS text services at any time.
When Adobe in April 2002 made the the Adobe OpenType library available on the Adobe Font Folio, in place of the Adobe Type 1 library, Adobe applied the same tactic. As John Hudson points out, all alternate glyphs were available for drawing with Private Use Area characters which is analoguous to what Adobe Type 1 Expert did before.
Because Adobe bases PDF on PS and because PS ignores intact SFNT indices as well as intact ICC indices, Adobe based PDF on the completely configurable name space model of PS. For this to work in synthesising source character specifications it is necessary that the name space be configured with ISO-IEC 10036/AFII glyph identifiers or with ISO-IEC 10036 character identifiers.
It is also necessary that the glyph stream be passed into PS in reading order and not in geometric order, that there be a linear relationship of characters to glyphs in the processing (problems with bidirectional ordering and with functions like insertion in AAT e.g. for Khmer), and of course that font-indenpendent identifiers in fact by implemented by all concerned - which they are not.
XPS revolves around keeping the source character string intact, PDF does not revolve around keeping the source character string intact (not for lowend office typesetting of the Latin script, at any rate). At the Linotype Typotechnica in April 2007, Adobe announced that configuring CMAPs with PUA would not be discontinued - it would be continued.
In other words, technically Adobe is using the completely configurable name space of PostScript as a weapon against Microsoft just as it used it as a weapon against Apple. But the problem is that Adobe publishes no documentation with its type products informing the customer in the EU of how the type product is in fact configured, and that may or may not be illegal.
Personally, I don't have a problem with PUA drawing provided it is documented in order that the everyday enduser understands that the ISO-IEC 10646 standard character set is being overruled and that a synthesis has to take place from a private name space model, but if this is not documented then the everyday enduser is made hostage.
This is where Adobe's tactical use of type as a strategic pawn in its struggle for the digital document market becomes politically problematic. How are we ever going to rid the Mac of Adobe Type 1 'Expert'? Adobe and Linotype spent a fortune marketing the idea that correct type was done by changing the correct text. Utterly braindead from day one.

Converting Word to pdf. Problem with page breaks

I have Office 2007 and I am trying to convert a 100 page word document into pdf. However, the pages are breaking different and I end up with more pages in the pdf document which causes problems with my table of contents and index. Any advice on how to convert the Word doc exactly into pdf? Thanks

Michael's reponse is correct. However, as far as I knew, OFFICE 2007 came with printer metrics turned off, meaning it is not supposed to be sensitive to the printer selection. The setting is buried in the options list for compatibility. If it is turned off and a change in printer does affect the result, it would appear just one more of the many things in OFFICE 2007 that MS messed up. The latest one for me has been helping students with the messed up equation editor when you want to add equation numbers in a "standard" way. One of the MS employees even wrote a workaround macro for that problem.

Using PCF to create booklets with pages

Before I updated to Lion I could used the create booklet software to print out booklets for church. After installing Lion I am being told this application is not universal and I need an update. None appears to be available. Any ideas?

Rosetta -- the software which allows older PPC software to run on Intel Macs -- is not supported on Lion. So, you have two options -- either get updated software which runs on Intel Macs ("universal" means it contains both PPC and Intel code), or somehow continue to run SL. For the latter, you could downgrade back to SL, run it as an alternate boot option, or in a VM within Lion. IMHO, the practical options are to go back to SL, or get Intel software.
You could look for booklet software in the usual places (Macupdate, Softpedia, etc), or just google it; or you could look for DTP apps which do this task (imposition).
Scribus is a free, open-source DTP app, which means the price is right, but the learning curve is steep and support and features patchy. Here's one way of creating a booklet with Scribus

Swift Publisher is a (relatively) inexpensive DTP app from BeLight. Here's what they say about creating a booklet with SP

Booklet with pages one above the other, not next to each other

I have sheets of paper that is 13cm wide and 20cm tall. It is perforated in the middle.
When I go to File | Booklet in InDesign CS4 I setup a booklet which tries to print 2 pages next to each other but of course these it not enough room.
What I need to do is have the two pages be one above the other to fit on the sheet of paper. But I am unable to find a way to do that.
Any hints?
Thanks!

in the print dialog you can change the parameters
for output in the 'setup' section--see screenshot--width, height, orientation, page position
see this linked page:

How do I create a 4 page "booklet" with pages 2 & 3 as ONE landscape page?

I have a 4 page "booklet" and there is a slight gap btween bages 2 & 3 when I print. I have it set up as a "centerfold"

More info please.
Do you have a 4 page, facing pages document that you are running through Print Booklet?
With or without bleeds?
Are all pages the same page size?
Any bleeds or margins set in the Print Dialog, through the Print Booklet dialog?
Printer info...any advanced features used (Fold, impose)?

HTML to PDF conversion - problems with page-breaks and bookmarks

Hello,
My company is currently considering updating your software (from Acrobat 9 Pro to Acrobat XI Pro) and I’ve been assigned to research its features and make sure that it is a right fit for our goals. Basically we want to automate the whole process as much as possible and we want to create PDF directly from HTML. We’re providing a lot of content in HTML and we need a fast way to transfer it into PDF format. There are however some guidelines:
We want page-breaks in is this kind of documents, and thus - your app needs to be able to interpret HTML and put them where we want to;
We need to have bookmarks in there. Converter must be able to make them based on headlines from HTML source or afterwards, directly in PDF by using some auto-bookmarks feature;
There has to be table of content generated, based on HTML Link Tags if possible. Here’s sample of TOC structure that we have currently:
<A NAME="redirect">sample_text</A>
<A HREF="#redirect">sample_text</A>
Of course we can modify HTML in any way you want us to. The important thing for us is to make it work in PDF without the need to make a lot of manual changes after conversion.
I’ve been messing with Acrobat 9 Pro and reading some documentation that you have provided and I’m convinced that point 3 is not a problem. I’m aware that Acrobat 9 Pro is not having any difficulties with links in document and they work fine in PDF format that has been created from HTML.
Page-breaks on the other hand are bothering me. Your app is apparently ignoring every HTML code that the Internet is advising me to use to force page-break where I want. Honestly - I’ve tested like ten ways to make them and not even one was working. That’s why I’m asking for your help.
Another problematic subject for me is the bookmarks creation. I know that they are not a problem if I’m doing DOC to PDF conversion. Then I’m able to decide what header should be used as a curtain level of bookmarks and everything is working great at the end. However - with direct HTML to PDF conversion - I really don’t know how to generate bookmarks that are based on the source of the input document. Is there any way to make fully working 2 level bookmark tree in this case? Here’s an example of the structure we want at the end:
header1
header2
header2
header1
header1
header2
Could you please help me in finding the solutions? Just like I’ve mentioned - we can modify input HTML in any way, but in the end we would like to achieve our goals as quickly as possible.
Please excuse my English.
I am looking forward to your response,
Lucas

Frankly - we would like to avoid using Word. We are using it currently but there are long-term plans of improving whole conversion process, eliminate any mid-steps and automate as much as possible even though conversion is not going to be done unattended on a server. Thank you for your response, but I hope that maybe someone else would have any idea?

How to export pdf from numbers with page breaks

I am trying to export a pdf from numbers that contains page breaks. When i print the page breaks are created for printing automatically and i like scrolling with no page breaks while working on spreadsheet. But, if export pdf the file becomes one long scrolling page. Which is good on screen but when email recipient tries to print, it prints to a single page and type face is impossibly tiny to read. I would like to export a view in which page breaks are included but can not seam to find the process (i have recently switched from excel to numbers).

One thing you might try (if you haven't already) is to pretend you are printing your numbers document, but after you press the "Print..." button (perhaps after doing the "Print setup" thing) do "Save as PDF" instead of just printing it. Presumably, this gives you the PDF that is used to do the print job.

Printing problems with Pdf documents created with Pages

I upgraded to Acrobat 8.0 recently and for some reason when I save a Pages document to pdf, within the print options then try and print, it prints blank.
I have created other pdf documents which print OK, so the problem lies somewhere within Pages.
I didn't have the problem with Acrobat 7.0
ANy ideas

When you say "Acrobat", do you mean Adobe Acrobat Standard or Pro? Or do you mean Adobe Reader?
If it is Adobe Acrobat, I would go to the preflight option and see what information you get there. But no, I have not had the problem myself.

Converting pdf into jpeg with Pages

I took some scrapbook digital images and dragged them into pages. I then added pictures and text box. I used to go to Print and then save as jpeg but it won't allow me. I keep getting an error message and have no idea what it means. Finished project opens in Preview.
The action “Copy Finder Items” encountered an error.Check the actionʼs properties and try running the workflow again.
I just upgraded to Lion today.

If you want to convert a whole page:
Press command-P to open the Print dialogue.
Click the PDF button at the lower left and choose Save PDF.
In the Finder, locate the saved file, Right click on it's icon and choose Open with... Preview.
Save or Export the Preview document as a jpeg.
Alternate method (for less than a full page, also works for full page)
Select all of the objects on the page.
Go Arrange > Group
Copy
Launch Preview, then go File > New from Clipboard (or press command-N)
Save or Export the Preview document as a jpeg.
These methods work in previous versions of Mac OS X. I'm unable to test them in Lion.
Regards,
Barry

CF 8 - pdf format changes with page count

when crating a cfdocument as pdf format when we create a
document approx. 500 pages or less everything is fine. when we go
over that number the font size and some formatting changes. we are
at a complete loss as to why this happening as we have checked and
rechecked every option possible. even going as far as scaling the
report down to only 1 or 2 lines. very bizarre. any thoughts on why
this is or a direction to troubleshoot this would be great. thanks
-Ralph

I'm not sure if this helps, but we've noticed formatting changes when the PDF writer considers the items in the cfdocument page too big for the layout (fonts resizing, inconsistent styling, etc). We shrunk our content down (especially images) to make sure everything fit on screen. also, if you are using images, make sure you are placing images in the cfdocument at the same height/width as the actual image file.
Not sure how helpful that's going to be - sounds like your issue is more about raw file size than anything else, but thought I would mention it.

Applied motion presets don't work with page transitions.

Hello everybody,
I created a multipage document within InDesign. I applied some of the available motion presets. I have a really hard time making the whole document play and than loop. The final file can be either PDF (interactive) or SWF. Please help!

Sorry, Jumped the gun. Just reversed the menu sequence and all is good.
Thanks

Is there a way to control "push" page transitions when using up/down keys to navigate a PDF?

I have a multi-page PDF designed with push page transitions. When using the forward/back arrow keys or the interactive buttons I have designed on the page, the push navigation direction changes whether one is moving forward in the PDF or back. However, if I use the mouse scroll button or up/down arrow keys to navigate, the push navigation only animates from the same direction...and therefore makes it look as if the user is only moving "forward" in the book. Is there a way to control this effect more precisely?
I am creating the document with InDesign CC 2014, adding the page transitions within the file, and exporting to interactive PDF using the setting "Page Transitions: From Document".

I don't think the iPad has it in it to control another device. Unless there's an app for it to be a remote control, but I'd imagine that it woudl be very brand specific.
You can certainly experiment with the VGA or HDMI adapters, but I wouldn't put total faith in them unless you had the ability to experiment prior to your presentation. I'd definitely have a backup plan.
