Hidden Buttons and Forms Printing CS6

I'm not exactly sure how to word this but I have buttons and forms that are printing when they are not supposed to.
This is my indd file:
If you can see, there are 3 sections, each identical except for the fact that they have different states. If someone wants Hat 2 section, there is a button that turns on the visibility of 2 combo boxes, a text box, 6 check boxes, some normal buttons (just text and art, but they need to be buttons in order to activated with an action), and toggles the view of another button that can add another hat... kinda hard to explain, but think of it like an online form. If you need more info, clicking the button add another row.
The issue that I'm having is that I do not want the forms that are not being used to be printed. If I don't toggle their visibility, they should be invisible and not print. This form could have anywhere from 1-20 of the forms being used at different times. They are all set to be hidden until triggered and they do exactly what I want them to and it works perfectly, until I go to print.
This is my exported pdf:
One row of info, the button to add a second.
Here is what it looks like when I go to print this without touching anything:
As you can see in the preview screen, all of the rows that I have made in the indd file are being shown as set to print. This should not be happening, but I figured maybe it was a glitch so I printed it anyway, and this came out:
..... Now you can see my issue. Maybe. Hopefully.
HOWEVER. If I so modify the document, e.g. clck on the "add hat" button and then remove it, the document prints as it should. The problem is that this document will need to be set up so that the entire page is filled with invisible forms that are just waiting to be activated, but not printed.
Wow that's a lot of info. Hopefully I was clear. Thanks for reading this all if you're still with me.

I initially jumped to that same conclusion that it was probably a bug in the forms as they are a new feature, but they are not the only objects that are misbehaving. There are only 3 forms in each of the sections and 14 normal buttons, so how can it be an issue with the forms? If that was the probelm, they would be the only objects that were printing incorrectly, unless there is some attribute that would apply the form's settings to all buttons... but I don't know how that's possible.
@jeffrey_smith
I tried exporting it as an idml originally, and just tried again since the file has been modified but it didn't make a diffrence in the print. Also, I just created a new very simple test document with just 4 buttons, one that shows the other 3 and it has the exact problem that my document with all of the forms has. So it can't be a corruption in my file, it has to be a broader issue.

I have set up my airprint wifi printer which works perfectly with the HP eprint app. However, when i view an email and click on the top right arrow button and select "PRINT" on my ipad nothing happens????...
Also, when im viewing websites and i find something i wish to print, same again, if i simply click on the print option at the top right of the screen nothing happens... the only way I can print is if i copy the weblink of the site page then click on my HP eprint app and paste the web link, then select print, it prints off fine.. but its it such a pain to keep copying and pasting links or screen dumping emails just to print...

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!

InDesign - Buttons and Forms in InCopy

Within the Buttons and Forms section of InDesign - do the PDF options revert to their default when sections are exported to Incopy?
I have set up a number of checkboxes and form fields (and updated the button values/ PDF Options), and want to export these to InCopy for use in other InDesign files, however, when I place the InCopy fields the PFD options appear to revert back to the default, rather than retaining the PDF Options I had put in place.
Is there a way that I can keep the PDF Options without manually updating each field again?

Never tried that, but I'd be far more inclined to do this using snippets instead.

Browser Back Button and form navigation

Some times when you use browser back button and adf-taskflow navigation buttons, validation on form fails, witout having made any change even with enabled token validation.
Reproduction steps on HR schema:
1. Create QueryDepartment and EditDepartment Views and navigation rules in adfc-config.xml
2 Create ADF view only table page for QueryDepartment selectable, and add navigation button to go to EditDepartment
3. Create EditDepartment form with navigation buttons and button to navigate back to QueryDepartment
test:
1.Run QueryDepartment and select a department
2.Go to Edit Department using navigation button
3.Navigate to next department pressing the 'Next' button
4.Navigate back using the Browser Back button.
5.Try to navigate back to QueryDepartment using the navigation button.
My result is validation error on DepartmentId field 'Error: JBO-25013: '
Is this a bug or am i doing something wrong?

Hi,
maybe I don't get it, but as I understood you have problem with focus on select button. So why don’t you set focus onLoad on another element of your page?
Something like onload=”$x(‘ELEMENT_NAME’).focus()”;

Buttons and Forms and Layout Adjustments

I have an InDesign form in which there is a radio button that toggels the visabiltiy of a form field. It functions fine; no problems. However, when the the form field is visable, it covers other areas of text. I would like to know whether it is possible to have a layout make adjustments to accomodate space for the form field. In this case, have the text boxes shift down if the form field is open or shift up if the form field is closed.

It is possible, but not for radio buttons and not for PDF. I tested it. You can use a normal button to make the form field appear and make the text box jump down. You can use another button, to do vice versa. Both would be action type "Animation", which can't be assigned to radio buttons. So no toggling.

HP4250n Printer and Forms printing to wrong tray

OK,
I've tried everything I can think of... here's the code:
^job PATFORM -zPHAM01P -atjoff -ati4 -c1
Issue: -ati4 on the HP 4250n
This should print from tray 2 on the printer, but it's wanting to do a manual feed from tray one. Works fine on every other model of HP that we have, but this one.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
JZ

Do we know what your operating system is? What happens if the other printers, or just the printer being used in error, is offline? Turned off for instance? What about image size? If the image is too big to fit an A4 sheet, and the printer being used has A3 capabilities? I can't say that I have ever heard of Photoshop in particular having those sort of smarts.
It was that sort of machine self awareness that inspired the Terminator movies.

SSRS & Report Viewer control - Show the print button and fire print for multi page report in Mozilla & Chrome

I have reports in SSRS. I am using remote reports. Reports have multiple pages.
In IE, the print button displays, but in Firefox and Chrome, it does not display.
Below links shows how to display the print button for mozilla and chrome. These solutions only fire the print for the
current page in the report viewer-

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4208457/ssrs-print-button-in-chrome-and-firefox
I need to be able to issue a print command for all
pages in one go from the reportviewer.

Hello,
The common workaround about print button on ReportViewer control for non-IE browsers is add ActiveX print control or create Print function. It has pros and cons.
I am not good at programming. But you can try to disable page breaks by setting InteractiveHeight to 0 so that the report will rendering in single page with Report Viewer control.

For buttons and form

the size of the document of indesign is 2048 * 1536 ,
when you in 1024 * 768 folio,
text contained in the button when it is seen in the retina terminal looks rough .
Why not function , such as a vector in the state setting in ?

Buttons are always rasterized. Use the artwork on its own and put a no
fill/no stroke button above it.

Problem with Audio in Buttons and Interactive

Hi!!
I have problems with the sound into buttons and Forms Interactive. The question is when I add a sound within a button, this it sounds directly when it enters the slides and not when the user presses the button.
How I solve it?
Thanks
NEXTsp

Hi there
It isn't a problem. The function is working as it should. You simply have a different expectation!
You have to think about it in different ways. When do you want the audio to play? When the button has been clicked, right? When you attach audio to an object such as a Button or an Image, the audio plays when that object appears. The trick here is to make an object appear on the Button click. You then attach the audio to that.
If you have Captivate 3 or older, you can enable the Success caption for the button. Attach the audio to the caption. Button is clicked, caption appears and you hear the audio.
What's that you are asking? Oh, you don't want to actually SEE a Success Caption? No problem. Choose the Transparent caption type and remove any text!
If you have Captivate 4, you can also use the same method to accomplish this. But you can also probably use the new scripting in it to make the audio play on a Button click. I can't tell you how to do that at the moment if that's the approach you want to take. I'll have to leave that to another person here that has played with the scripting to explain how it's done.
Likely it involves opening a panel, inserting or declaring a variable, adding a sound file, associating the variable with the sound file, assigning actions to the button to check the variable and change it if you need to. Stuff like that. Sounds a bit like a Rube Goldberg setup. But really that's what happens with the Success Caption method. It's just that we deal with objects and not the code behind the scenes.
Hopefully this was somewhat helpful... Rick

Paypal and form help

I designed a webpage for a nonprofit that uses Paypal to collect donations in varying amounts.
I used Paypal's button widget to create a button and form for each specific donation. I then embeded these buttons/forms in the webpage -- I created 7 such buttons and forms. Each form sends the data the user enters to Paypal, where the user completes the payment transaction. Paypal then sends (some of) the data from the transaction to my client. Everything works great.
Problem is my client wants to collect more data than the Paypal widget allows (or that Paypal typically returns to "sellers"). Ideally, my client would like me to include a number of required fields on my client's webpage and have that data sent to them at the same time the user clicks the "submit" button that takes them to Paypal to complete the payment transaction.
Can this be done? And if so, how?
Maybe this needs to be set up as separate pages: 1) the page where the user sees all the donation choices, 2) a second page where the user fills out and submits the information my client wants to collect, 3) a third page where the user enters Paypal specific info, and 4) the Paypal page where the user completes the payment?
Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks Woody.
I have talked to Paypal at least a half dozen times on this issue. Haven't found them overly helpful.
I'll check this out and report back. Are you referring to the URL redirect? Or is this something in addition to the redirect?
If it's the redirect URL, I currently use that for sending users back to the client's website once the Paypal stuff is complete. Hadn't thought of sending them to a page for more data input. Though, I have considered the reverse -- having them fill out a data form to collect what my client wants, and then have them click a link to go to the Paypal site to complete the payment transaction.
Does the shopping cart allow you to add other (required) data fields, like one for a mailing address, another for a phone number, custom fields for user comments, etc?
