Help! InDesign interactive PDF buttons not working in Safari or on iPad

I made an infographic in Indesign for our university magazine with a QR code to link to an interactive pdf. Nothing too complicated animation wise, simply buttons that you can click on to view different parts of the graphic. However, the buttons are not working at all in Safari and on the iPhone and iPad, the buttons disapear completley. Please help.

Whether buttons work correctly in a PDF file depend entirely on what PDF reader you're using. Here are a couple of important facts:
* While corrected created interactive PDFs will display correctly in the FREE Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat, they probably won't display correctly in Apple's Preview application which is probably what you're viewing in Safari.
* None of the PDF readers currently available on an iPad (e.g., iBooks, GoodReader, etc.) correctly handle interactivity like buttons on an iPad.

  • Is there a plug-in for Indesign Interactive PDF buttons which simulates the same control as Acrobat?

    I want to know if there is a third party out there making plug-ins for Indesign CS6 specifically for interactive PDF buttons and forms which allows for better control over text boxes.... ie. date formatting, 1-10 characters per text boxes, etc.

    Not that I've heard of. You'll have to tweak those features in Acrobat Pro.

  • Help needed - Captivate 7 Audio not working in Safari/Chrome in html5

    I think I am going slightly mad. For the life of me I can not get the audio to work in either Chrome or Safari (both versions are up to date) on an ipad and android tablet.
    I have created a 1 slide project which just consists of a blank slide plus an audio mp3 file I have imported to the slide.  I have turned off all the button click sounds and not scaled the html.
    I then publish to html5, uplaod it to my LMS and try and view it.  Works fine in IE on a desktop. But when I try and view it in Chrome and Safari there's no audio. In Chrome it seems to default to mute, so I unmute it but still nothing,  In Safari the mute button is not even there, even through it is enabled in the skin.
    Anyone have any ideas as it's driving me mad?  Unfortunate thing is I downloaded Articulate storyline and after 10 mins I had uploaded a html 5 zip file and it working great on the ipad, with audio.

    Hi
    Sorry to hear that you are having trouble with audio in Captivate's HTML5 output.
    What LMS are you using? There are certain LMS that are known to have problem serving HTML5 content. Also, the content server inside the LMS can choose to send different responses based on the client being a desktop device or a mobile device.
    What is the IOS version in the iPad? IOS6 is preferrable.
    Can you please try the following?
    1. Instead of hosting the output in an LMS, try hosting the content in a local web server running on your machine. Mongoose is a quick and free option to try out (https://mongoose.googlecode.com/files/mongoose-tiny-4.1.exe) and then try accessing the same from iPad
    2. If that works, then we can start suspecting the LMS that you are using. If it still does not work, you can connect the iPad to a Mac machine's USB port. Launch Safari on the Mac machine. Make sure that the option to "Show Developer Menu" is turned on in Safari's preferences. From the develop menu, select the menu specific to the iPad device and webpage. You may have to open and close the develop menu in case your iPad is not listed in the menu. Once you select the iPad+page menu, a web-inspector window is opened. Open the console messages if not already open. Refresh the webpage in the iPad. Look at the console output messages in the web-inspector. Any errors or warnings encountered will be printed there. For example, network error messages might hint that the http request for the mp3 file was rejected by the server for some reason.
    3. If there are no messages in the console, audio does not play when published output is hosted in local webserver, then please share the published output. We can investigate why it does not work.
    Cheers

  • Adf partial page rendering not working in safari (iphone and ipad)

    Hi,
    ADF rich faces PPR seems to not work in safari browser on iphone and ipad.
    PPR works first time around, but fails on the second click on the same page on the sam button.
    Any one else had the same problem with Safari browser?
    Johnny

    Hi Shay,
    Thank you for the quick answer.
    No it does not work on the ipad or iphone.
    It works on chrome for the ipad!
    PPR does not work for the second click on the same button.
    In you example it will accept the first click but ignore the rest of the clicks on the same button.
    We are about to create a ADF app for the ipad and this is a major showstopper.
    Hope we can find some sort of workaround, that does not involve dropping PPR.
    Regards Johnny

  • Javascript is not working in Safari on my iPad, version 6.1.3. Anyone know why?

    I have an iPad with os version 6.1.3.  Javascript on websites is not working in Safari. Does anyone know why? How can I correct this situation?

    It is jquery libraries that are not functioning properly and some of the html.  I have Javascript turned on.  The website was working in Safari.  I tested it in Safari and I viewed it many times using Safari and it worked.  I went on to it on 5/8/13 and the javascript/jquery portion and parts of the html are not working.  It had been tested about 4 or 5 months ago in several diffierent versions of IE, Chrome, Mozilla and Safari. 
    Thanks for responding to my question

  • Interactive PDF buttons not always working

    Hello,
    My co-worker is using InDesign CS5 to make an interactive PDF. In the PDF the viewer can click an image, and an enlargement will appear and the background will have a 50% gray transparency.
    What's odd is that on most pages the buttons work perfectly, while on a few other pages they do not at all (e.g. buttons do nothing, or no gray transparency appears, etc...).
    We've reviewed the pages and everything seems to be in order. If she re-creates the page, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. If we take the problematic page and copy/paste it into a new document the exported PDF works fine.
    Any hints as to why sometimes the interactive features work as setup and why sometimes they don't? Is it possible we accidentally had a setting on specific pages that was causing the interactive features to malfunction?
    Thanks!

    The firs thing to do would be to export it to idml then open that in Indesign and give that a go.  The fact that if you paste it into a new document it works means it may be document corruption.  However it could also be something on that page or in the document that is interfering with it that is not in the new document.  Something on a layer above that is hiding the button?

  • Interactive PDF - Buttons stop working when emailed

    Hi there,
    I have made an interactive PDF using InDesign CC.
    I've checked in preview and once saved and all the buttons work and take me to the correct URL.
    Once I email the PDF the buttons do not work, in fact they don't not even come up in the email. Please help!

    The images that I have made in to buttons are not there once emailed.
    I am aiming to send out a company newsletter and the buttons are for social media.
    So I want to embed the PDF in to an email, and when you click on the Facebook, twitter etc icons I want it to take you to the correct social media pages.
    I have set up the buttons correctly in InDesign as they work when I view the PDF, but once its emailed ( I sent it to myself as a test) the buttons are not there

  • Interactive PDF form not working in webbrowser

    hi ,
    I created an interactive pdf document using Adobe InDesign CS6, before its links were not working from the master page, then i put links with via bookmarks.
    Now another problem created, i upload this file and when i open on web browser, its links do not work and there is also a problem for logo , its show bad color of logo.
    Anybody knows this solution ???
    Thanks

    If the PDF will be viewed in a browser, you will need to use a navigation method other than bookmarks, they do work in browsers w-PDF plugin. You can use links such as text anchors, page destinations and shared destinations.
    As for the bad color issue, this can be many things, PDF export setting used, transparency on page or image, colorspace conversion, etc. and more details will be needed.

  • InDesign created PDF hyperlinks not working on a CD

    Forum
    I have multiple large documents (created in InDesign) that we are publishing as pdfs on a CD - they are hyperlinked together in InDesign (interactive dialogue) - but I cant get the links to work after the files are moved to a CD together.
    The paths that are created for the links are just the local path on my computer - no good on the CD. How can I fix this????
    Phil

    The trick is to get everything into one folder- in other words, you have to determine the structure of the CD before you start linking things up with InDesign.
    Create a folder that represents the root directory of the CD. In that folder you want your InD files AND the PDF files that you want to link to, all arranged as they will appear on the final CD. I frequently create "dummy" PDFs for this- they have the file name and they are in the right spot, but they contain nothing but a few words on one page. I can replace them later with the real McCoy, providing I don't change names or locations.
    When it's all over, I remove the InD files and their associated Links folders, and what I'm left with is a single folder that represents the final CD.
    I hope I explained this well enough-- it's much easier to show it than tell it.

  • Pdf buttons not working when pdf loads in browser

    hi
    I have a pdf with buttons which work fine. Once pdf is put on our website and you click on it, it opens in firefox ok but none of the buttons work.
    Safari, chrome - work

    The road to hell is paved with good intentions... FF wanted to provide their users an easy-to-use, built-in PDF viewer, which is good. Problem is that developing a fully compatible PDF viewer is a very complex task that requires a lot of time and effort, so they decided (it seems) to settle for something that's "good enough". So now users are stuck with something that usually does an OK job when it comes to just displaying a simple PDF file, but as soon as you have a more complex file (for example, one with form fields) it breaks down entirely and either fails to load the file at all, or does so incorrectly, and the developers are left sorting out the mess...

  • Interactive pdf video not working on browser?

    Dear Sir,
    How we can embed the video inside pdf. I have done it from Multimedia/flash tool/ place video/ advance options/ It is working on my computer only but when i upload it on Issuu website for the client, it is not working???

    Make shure that the client views this PDF with Adobe Reader and Acrobat only, all other viewers and plugins will not support it.
    Make sure that your client has Reader 9 or X, and Acrobat 9 or X installed, with all other versions it will not work. If your client has version XI installed he will need Adobe Flash Player installed without it will not work. With Acrobat/Reader 8 or older he is out of luck.

  • Hyperlinks within .pdf documents not working IMac Safari

    I am working with a website that displays several .pdf documents. The documents contain hyperlinks to urls. Everything works fine in other browsers, but in Safari, these hyperlinks do not work. The cursor does not change when it enters the hyperlink space, and nothing happens if the link is clicked. I am using an IMac running OS 10.6. 8 and Safari 5.1.10. I have tried both the native (Preview) option and a plug-in. Neither makes any difference. Can anyone suggest a fix other than abandoning Safari?

    I am a new user to OnLINE Adobe. My hyperlinks from Word
    documents do not transfer to the PDF files. Please help!!!

  • Share button not working in Safari 8.0

    I've just upgraded my iMac to Yosemite, but neither the Share button nor the share item in the menu are working in Safari 8.0. I'm pretty sure the problem has something to do with the Extensions in my System Preferences, since the share button is working fine in Safari on my Macbook Pro, but if I open System Preferences/Extensions, on the MBP Share Menu is listed in the left hand column, and shows all the share services, but that item is missing from System Preferences/Extensions on my iMac. Does anybody know how to turn it on? There are no more updates waiting to be downloadedI've tried restarting but that didn't help.

    I had same problem and called apple tech support and on their suggestion I did the following and everything working ok now.  Hope it helps.
    If sharing options and Markup are missing after you install OS X Yosemite
    If Share button options (Email This Page, Facebook, etc.) or the Markup feature are missing after you install OS X Yosemite, follow the instructions below.
    Follow these steps in each user account on your Mac to restore Share button options and the Markup feature.
    Open the Terminal app. You can launch Terminal from the Other folder in Launchpad, or enter "Terminal" in Spotlight search.
    Copy and paste this command into the Terminal window:/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -seed
    Press Return and wait for the Terminal prompt (ends in $) to reappear. It may take a few minutes.
    Close the Terminal app.
    If you have another user account on your Mac that has this issue, log into that account and repeat these steps.
