Embedded audio in PDF doesn't work

Hello,

I am using Macbook Pro and running mountain Lion.
Anybody anny suggestions?
Regards, Sven

Hi Eric, thanks for your answer.
Yes I have, originally I always used preview to read pdf's. I have now installed acrobat reader, because of this audio problem. But in Acrobat it doesn't work either.

Audio out port doesn't work well

Hi, I have a Macbook Pro 13-inch, Early 2011. Since I bought it I always use my Mac whit headphones, but since a month it only works well the left headphone. I think that the problem it was my headphones but no, because I used it on my phone and workes well. So i come to the conclusion that the audio out port doesn't work well. What you think? And what you recommend to me to fix this problem?

Probably still under warranty, but not for long. Take it to the Apple Store or AASP to have it checked ASAP.

Pdf links inside another Pdf doesn't work

Hi,
I am using Adobe Pdf Reader X(10.1.0). I am creating a PDF with html links embedded in it.
Links to normal files works properly (Like server/idcontent/new/ir.html)
But links to another pdf file doesn't work(Like server/idcontent/new/ir.pdf). When clicked on a .pdf link nothing happens. But where as other links works perfectly.
Can any one help me whether I am missing any setting in my Adobe Reader.
Thanks in advance.

How exactly are you creating these files?

Button in PDF doesn't work

Hi,
I have create a button which I would like to display in my PDF.
Below you will see the settings I've used:
The problem I'm having is that the button doesn't work. Nothing happens when I open my PDF and click on it.
Upon exporting I have select to include Bookmarks, Hyperlinks, Non-Printing Objects, Visble Guides and Baseline Grids. The Interactive Elements settings are set to: Inlcude Appearance.
Does anyone know why this is not working?
Thanks in advance.

Willi, you're my hero of the day.
Thanks buddy.

Update audio in library doesn't work

I'm using Captivate 6.0.1.240 and the Update function for audio in the library does not work. To replace audio, I must delete the existing and import the new audio. I've tried every way I can think of; just doesn't work!

Sreekanth,
Yes, I did try the methods that you mentioned. Plus, I tried double-clicking the audio file on the timeline. In the “Slide Audio” dialog window, I chose Add/Replace, selected the same name file from the directory, and selected “Yes” when asked if I was sure I wanted to change the audio file. It still maintained the old file.
Trying further to resolve this, I discovered that the “Update” function DOES NOT work when using .wav files. So I converted all of my audio to mp3 format. It DOES work as it should when using .mp3 files.
Thanks for your interest.

Audio crossfade tool doesn't work?

Hi ,
Maybe its a well known bug but reading in the Apple pro training book by Martin Sitter , I noticed that the fade tool in the Arrange window doesn't work.
Or am I doing something wrong?
(B.t.w. This tool isn't discribed in the standard manual??)

IDS export PDF doesn't work

Hi,
I try to apply a PDF-preset for a PDF export. But IDS throws a 404 if I append any parameters to the exportFile function:
That works:
doc.exportFile( ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, File("c:\\temp\\test.pdf"));
Neither this works:
doc.exportFile( ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, File("c:\\temp\\test.pdf"),false, "[PDF/X-3:2002]");
nor that
doc.exportFile( ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, File("c:\\temp\\test.pdf"),false);
in both cases IDS throws a 404.
Can anybody explain what's wrong?
Many thanks,
Stefan

You are using ID Desktop parameters.
IDS does not have a "showingOptions" parameter.
Here's the options for the ID Server parameters:

Embedded Video in PDF doesn't play in preview or google drive.

I'm working on an interactive PDF in InDesign with an embedded mp4 video. When I export the pdf the video only plays in adobe reader but not in preview. I also uploaded it to google drive to send to people but the video won't play on google drive either. Is this an issue with the way I'm embedding/exporting the interactive PDF or is this a compatibility issue with preview and google drive?
If the file is downloaded by someone who doesn't have adobe reader, how can I make sure the file will open in adobe reader for them?

There are hundreds of PDF readers. Most of them only view only simple files and fail with interactivity, or PDFs for specialized uses like prepress. As Bob said, the only readers you can be sure of are Adobe Reader and Acrobat. Tell your viewers to download the FREE Adobe Reader to get the best viewing experience, and provide a link to Adobe Reader.

Suddenly Printing a PDF to a PDF Doesn't Work

I'm currently working in Windows XP Pro 64-bit, InDesign and Acrobat Pro 9.5 (CS4).
We create a dozen 300-page catalogs each year in InDesign CS4, then create 300dpi CMYK PDFs to send to our commercial printer. We also create low-resolution PDFs for a website that posts them for us. In order to create the low-res PDFs, I have always just printed the 300dpi PDFs to a 72dpi PDF from within Acrobat Pro. I use a preset I created and this has always worked flawlessly. Today when I tried it, I got an error message pop-up that said it could not be printed, then another message pop-up that said "no pages were selected to print". I tried several PDFs and none of them worked.
The caveat might be that I'm not sure if I have tried to print any low-res PDFs since we upgraded our computers and 64-bit XP Pro. Does anyone know if there's a known issue with running Acrobat Pro 9.5 (CS4) in 64-bit?
Does that make sense?
Thanks,
Lloyd

OK. I just checked this on another computer running XP Pro 64-bit and on the one machine that's still running XP Pro 32-bit. It worked on the 32-bit and did NOT work on the 64-bit, so it must be AA 9.5 running in the 64-bit environment. I read something for version 8 about a .dll file not being installed during the installation process because the installer is 32-bit and it couldn't find the file, and I found the file, but the installer doesn't run because it says that "Adobe Acrobat Spedloader (or something like that) is running. The only problem is that I can't quit it. It doesn't even show up in the Task Manager. If anyone knows where this file is supposed to be, I could drag it there manually.
HELP!!!
Thanks,
Lloyd

Mail PDF doesn't work

Hi,
To convert a file to PDF and send it by email, I use to simply use the Mail PDF option in the print menu.
Since I upgraded to Mac Os X Lion, the option works for a while and then stops working. Then, once I click on "Mail PDF", it doesn't even switch to Apple Mail.
Restarted mail, restarted the application... No good.
Restarted the computer, worked for a while and then stopped again. I did this a lot of times and it always ends up not working.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I can work around this, but it is frustrating on the long term.
Thank you,
Alex

I am seeing exactly the same problem you describe, but only on my MacBook Pro.
In my case, I am using the Numbers application on Mac OS X 1.7.2 (Lion) on a MacBook Pro (mid 2009) 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB 1067 Mhz DDR3. The Mail PDF option works for a while and then stops working. When it stops working in Numbers, it also stops in all other applications. The console log does not shot any hints as to what might be wrong.
Using the Numbers application on a MacBook Air (1.8 GHz Intel Core i7, 4 GB 1333 Mhz DDR), with the same Max OS X version (1.7.2 Lion) has no issues at all. Mail PDF works fine on this machine from all applications.
Has anyone heard more about this issue since the last post on Aug 26?
Thanks,

FaceTime audio half duplex / doesn't work simultaneously

I gave my parents a new iPad Air for Christmas. Note: They are 'older' and have a lot of trouble operating electronic devices. Before sending it to them I did check for recent updates, set up their email and contacts, installed some apps that I find useful and uploaded some photos. Otherwise it's a fresh unit right out of the box.
Yesterday we tried facetime with them. The video worked as it should. The audio seemed to be in a 'half duplex' mode on our device. Meaning, they could hear us perfectly and normally on the iPad. We could only hear them when we were perfectly quiet. Any sounds or talking on our end would mute their transmission during and about 1 second after speaking.
We tried multiple calls. (I called them and then they called me). We tried an iphone 5 and a MacBook, the problem was consistant in all cases. During one of our calls on the mac, my brother placed a facetime call to my phone and his connection worked perfectly, while my parent's connection continued to have the issue.
I sent them the following instructions, in hopes that it may fix the issue, but I'm doubtful. I don't have an iPad handy (only iphones and the mac in our house) so there may be some settings that are present on the iPad and not on the iphone that they should try. Any and all help would be appreciated! They live on Kauai, HI so if there are any places there that would be helpful that they could visit, I would appreciate the recommendation.
Go into settings, scroll down until you see facetime. Select it. There will be some settings for facetime. One simply says facetime and there is a small green slider button next to it. Touch the button. It should slide and turn white. This disables facetime.
Go to settings, then general, then software update. It should say "checking updates" and then will either display your version (7.0.4 ?) OR it will say there is a new update and you can download it. If so, download/install. (Should be a button asking and just hit yes or ok).
Next, do a network reset:
Go to settings, general, scroll down to "reset". Select reset and then select "reset network settings". It will ask if you want to do this and yes, you want to do it.
Next, After all this is done, reboot the ipad. This is done by pressing and holding the top (power/sleep) button and the home button down at the same time. Hold it for 30-seconds maybe longer until the screen goes black and then the apple logo appears. Then let go.
(If you hold just the upper button for 5 seconds a red slider will appear to allow you to turn off the ipad. For a reset just ignore that and keep holding down the buttons).
Once it reboots, add yourself back to your network. It may ask on its own, but if not :
Go to settings, then wi-fi. Select your network and enter your password.
Last, go into settings, general, facetime and turn it back on by touching the white slider button. It should turn green.
I found two other cases that sounded like mine:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22808569#22808569
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22705969?searchText=Facetime%20duplex#2270 5969

My parents called apple tech support. I'm not exactly sure what they did, but I think they just rebooted the iPad again, as done previously. It seems to be working better now, although it does still cut out now and then from sounds on my end of the line.
Another thing that seems to have helped, I determined that my parents had left it in the original plastic packaging and then crammed it into the case I gave them, which may have slightly muffled their microphones.
Anyway between these two things it is working better. We can speak on this end and still hear them talking. But now and then it still cuts out.

Hyperlink to a shortcut within pdf doesn't work

I've written a document in Word 2010 on PC, and used the function within Word to save as PDF.
The document contains lots of hyperlinks. Some of those point to shortcut (.lnk) files on the local network. While these hyperlinks work fine in Word, in Reader XI I'm asked to allow (which I do) and then... nothing happens!
I enter the link to the shortcut when creating the hyperlink in Word as "\\mydomain\myfolder\my file.doc - shortcut.lnk". When you point at the shortcut in Word the tooltip puts "file:///" in front of the path. In Reader it has "file:" in front (without the slashes) and has turned all the back slashes into forward slashes. I've tested with a link to an actual document rather than a shortcut (.lnk) file and while it still changes the link text as noted, the hyperlink now works in Reader although it asks twice for confirmation to follow it. So it seems like the .lnk file is the problem somehow.
Has anyone encountered this and is there a solution?
Thanks in advance!

Internal Audio Output suddenly doesn't work.

My internal speakers no longer work. When I go to the Sound control panel and select Built in Speakers, I get a message that says "The selected device has no output controls." The menu bar shows full volume as does the Control Panel but the volume control area is grayed and I cannot adjust anything. The same is true for the Internal Microphone setting in Inputs. I plugged a set of headphones into the jack, and get the same message. I think it must be a software error. I have restarted the computer but no luck. I repaired permissions, what else is there to try? Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
Your speaker volume is kept in System Preferences under sound. Probably worthwhile double checking that.
Then, reset PRAM, which houses speaker information:
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6. Release the keys.
If that reset doesn't fix it, reset the power management unit: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1431
Please post back if those two actions don't change it's behavior.

Importing audio from iTunes doesn't work

GarageBand won't let me import audio files (unprotected) from the media browser. When I try to drag a file into the GarageBand window, it simply snaps back.
When I right-click on the file and select "Show in Finder" it tells me, the file can't be found.
When I go to the same file in iTunes and select "Show in Finder" iTunes has no problem shown me the file.
Dragging the file to the desktop from iTunes and to GarageBand from there works.
???

I had the same issue recently.
I found a workaround which resolved in my case, which was to drag the (DRM protected) file from iTunes to my desktop and THEN to GB.
