How can I publish my Visio project to PDF including active CommandButtons (VBA)

Hi everyone,
First of all, I am new on this forum and a rookie when it comes to Visio and creating PDFs, that's why I need some help. The Visio project where I am working on, is part of my assignment. I am hoping that you could help me.
I am creating an interactive system for employees with Microsoft Office Visio 2007 that shows flowcharts of procedures and work instructions. Now I created multiple pages and I added hyperlinks (to switch to different levels) and simple CommandButtons (Microsoft Forms 2.0 CommandButton) that show UserForms, which I created in Visual Basic Editor. When I click the CommandButton in the project (on Fullscreen) the UserForm appears.
For the CommandButtons I added this code:
Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()
UserForm4.Show
End Sub
This document I created needs to be a controlled document and it should be published in PDF. I know that Visio already has a plugin to publish PDFs, but when I use this option, my project (in PDF) does not show active CommandButtons (where I can click on in order to open my UserForm). Though, the hyperlinks I created, DO work. Do I need to change the VBA code for my CommandButtons or my UserForms, so that I can open my UserForms in the PDF- file? If the answer is 'yes,' does anyone know the code I need to add?
I also would like to know how I can make my Shape ScreenTips visible in PDF? Do I need to add 'User defined cells' in order to do that or do I need to change something in the Miscellaneous section?
Many thanks!
PS: I have enclosed a picture how it should work. You can see one page with a opened UserForm on the lower right. This result (or something similar) I would like to see in the PDF- file.

You cant transfer interactivity to a PDF when you print to PDF as you have written.
PDFs have to be exported so that interactivity will live inside the PDF. Of course you have to set up links in the Hyperlink Panels.
But not every reader is supporting interactivity. URL are supported from Reader and Apple iBooks. But you can't force the user to use a certain application anyway.

  • How can I publish a project so that the link to embedded flv is not lost?

    When publishing an Adobe Captivate 3 project, the embedded flv file does not play.
    How can I publish a project so that the link to embedded flv is not lost?

    I am not really sure, if I understand you right. But try this:
    Don’t place a picture, but draw a box and use the "Fill" command to put a picture into it.
    (Don’t click onto the color swatch, but onto the blue link "Fill".)
    In this case responsivness should work.

  • How can I Publish to a Folder just one of the several websites I have created using iWeb?

    How can I Publish to a Folder just one of the several websites I have created using iWeb?
    it drives me nuts having to emove all the other websites when I want to upload one. 
    Sparrow

    For iWeb, I like to do only one site per domain file.  I move domain files out of the Application Support folder and place them inside project or client folders, or in DropBox. Once you duplicate a domain file and begin customizing it, it will load and behave as a separate project/site.
    I publish each iWeb domain/project direct to a server via FTP. Sometime I publish to a folder, then upload via FTP manually.
    iWeb is a remarkable tool, especially when you work from scratch with blank tamplates
    Here are a few of my iWeb sites:

  • How can I publish my flash movie in one swf file in V.2

    Hi
    When I publish my movie to flash format , skin swf file is
    segregated from main movie swf file . How can I publish my movie
    only in one swf file ? I want to merge skin and main movie files
    together in one swf file .

    Hi Corona,
    The screen size is whatever you captured or specified during
    the recording or new movie setup process. This will cause the
    playback control to be placed "on top of" some portion of the
    captured background, but there are two ways around that problem.
    1) When you set the red recording area before recording, drag
    the bottom of the recording area downward about 35 pixels below the
    application window (assuming you are capturing an area that
    includes a "bottom" or even an application window - grin). For this
    to work, it is best if you do your recording against a
    solid-one-colored desktop background, so the "extra" area at the
    bottom doesn't include desktop images that you don't want in the
    capture (even though that area will not be visible in the end ...)
    OR...
    2) Use the Project > Resize Project dialog to increase the
    palette size on the bottom, taking care to leave the original movie
    the same size. This will effectively do the same thing as
    Suggestion #1, create a "blank" area at the bottom of the movie on
    which there is room to mount the playback control bar.
    Best of luck, Corona, and omid02. Hope this helps, in
    conjunction with the advice that Rick has already offered.

  • How can I publish an App to a selceted group of people without using the Adobe Contetn Viewer?

    How can I publish an App to a selected group of people ( not via App Store) without using the Adobe Content Viewer?
    The App was developed with InDesign 6.0

    You'd have to sign up for an Apple Developer account and then gather all the UDID's (Apple limits this to only 100 devices) that you want your app to be installed on. Create your mobile provisioning profiles to include these ID's and then you could use TestFlight to push out your app and monitor who has installed it. Of course Testflight is intended for monitoring your apps performance but I'm sure you can get away with it if you use it to push you app. One thing to keep in mind is the mobile provisoning profiles are only valid for 1 year. Hope this helps.

  • HOW CAN I Publish ALL the Original Different Colors in iCal

    I am trying to publish a grouped calendar which includes several differently colored events. I am testing it by subscribing to it from an iCal that has no calendars created at all....and it still will not publish the different colors of the original calendar. All the events appear as one color.
    How can I publish/share my calendar and have ALL the different colors show?
    -I am publishing using a .Mac account.
    THANKS VERY MUCH for any help anyone can give! It will be hugely appreciated.

    I am having this same trouble - I publish
    webcal://ical.mac.com/neyt/neyt.ics
    as a grouped calendar. I tried resetting my sync data fromthe computer that this calendar lives on ( OSX 10.4 because I realized earlier versions have Ical that doesn't even group..)
    Now when I have a subscriber pull down the .ics file, it doesn't show up as grouped, nor do the groups live onthe website version.
    why don't these groups just show up? if I send people the .ics file - it all works just fine...
    I know that some colors might be in use on other computers, I'm sure that other colors will be assigned s individuals need them in their calendars, but the groupings should sync...
    help!!

  • In Aperture 3, how can I easily move entire projects out of my main Ap Library into other libraries?  My Ap library is running super slow because it's overloaded l so I have created two new libraries, but can't seem to move the projects into them

    In Aperture 3, how can I easily move entire projects out of my main Ap Library into other libraries?  My Ap library is running super slow because it's overloaded, so I have created two new libraries, but can't seem to move the projects into them?

    Hello Annabel,
    To move entire projects export them as Aperture Libraries, and then import those Libraries into the other Aperture Library:
    Select the Project in the Inspector, then
    File -> Export -> Project as Library
    In the other Library do:
    File -> Import  -> Library/ Project
    But I am not quite convinced, that the size of your current Aperture Library is responsible for the slowness of Aperture - Aperture is designed to cope with huge libraries.
    You may want to post your hardware setup and details of your library, and some of the hardware experts here may help you to find the reason for the slowness.
    A huge library should only be a problem, if the projects are too big, and if you have many, many smart albums at the root level of your library.
    So keep the projects small, and try to move some of your smart albums to lower levels in your folder structure (then Aperture does not need to scan all of your images to build the smart album).
    Other reasons for Aperture's slowness may be, e.g.
    An overfull system drive and/or external drive (keep at least 20% of your drives empty)
    lack of RAM
    a corrupted Aperture Library, that needs repairing
    Have you checked those options, before you split your library? It would be a pity to split it, for you would loose the ability to browse all parts at the same time, to use all your images in the Media Browser, etc.

  • How can I save my iMovie Project to a DVD or Flash Drive which can be played on a PC and any DVD player

    I have an iMac, purchased in January 2011. How can I save an iMovie project to a DVD or Flash Drive which can be played on a PC or any DVD player

    I will give you a basic primer, not going to get to in depth, as far as parameters, size of project, or the storage size of your usb flash drive, etc.
    1. you have your finished iMovie project. Under iMovie>Share menu. Choose export using quicktime.
    2. make Movie self contained. This way your Mov, Mvi, etc files will be part of the movie and it can play without having to reference the events, because it is actually there.
    3. so, now on your desktop  ( or any where else set up quicktime to save your file) you will see a quicktime file.
         Drag & Drop that file on to the icon of your USB Flash Drive, etc.
    4. Details that I omitted because I admit I am not well versed. Most Likely that quicktime file is larger than your USB Flash Drive. You have to use one of quicktime compression work flows, also if you open the just created quicktime file. It will open quicktime player and under the File>Export you have to options. I have a Movie that was 42GB 1080P, I exported it as a 720P, so it would still be playable on a large screen and now the new file was less than 2.5GB.
    5. Oh, no i just realized that the file should be playable on a PC, as long as the PC has quicktime for windows installled and you left that USB formated at MS DOS as it came originally, or a PC will not recognize it. Will it open up on your Blu-Ray Player that has a USB port, not sure. Since there is no menu. but, perhaps just pushing play will start movie.
    Hope this is of some help.

    The backups for your version are date-time stamped as the name and with an extension of .fcpproject. They look like this.
    The original project is named CurrentVersion.fcpproject.
    You need to replace the CurrentVersion with the backup file and rename it to be CurrentVersion.fcpproject.
    With FCPX closed, I suggest you move the original to the Trash, but not empty it. Then promote your backup one level higher in the project folder hierarchy (to be at the same level that the original previously occupied. Then rename the backup.
    Open up FCPX, which should now recognize your project.

  • How can I utilize the feature "Project Proposal Workflow"?

    Hello,
    I am looking for any reference shows how can I utilize the feature "Project Proposal Workflow" in creating a Demand Managment process in Project Server 2013.
    Thanks

    Hi New_page,
    Basically this feature allows you doing what is called "ideation" in Project Server. From a SharePoint list (either in a dedicated site or directly in PWA), you can create ideas of projects and then initiate a project in Project Server from
    this list, mapping the list's columns with enterprise project custom fields and choosing an enterprise project type.
    See some references below:
