How do I stop pages from scrolling when i'm creating an interactive PDF?

I'm attempting to create an interactive PDF portfolio with links from the homepage to gallery pages and projects etc, but it seems useless if I can't stop the PDF pages from scrolling? Can anyone help?
I have InDesign CS5.5 and Adobe Acrobat Pro.
Thanks,
Elizabeth

I had the same problem with an interactive PDF I created out of InDesign CS5.5. Not sure if what I found will work for a PDF portfolio but here is what I did.
After creating my document and exporting it as an interactive PDF I opened it in Acrobat X. I went to file/properties and opened the dialogue box. I then clicked on the "initial view" tab and checked the "hide toolbars" and "hide window controls" clicked okay, closed the dialogue box and re-saved the PDF.
The next time I launched it you could not mouse click to navigate the pages anymore, you had to use the interface I had created. The only caveat is that the keyboard arrows and the mouse scroll wheel still work but if you click anywhere on the page other than my buttons the pages now stay put.
Hope this works for you,
Phil

  • How can I keep pages from scrolling when using keyboard page-down

    The bottom of the pages window has a gear. You can select "Page" in the drop down menu and click the arrow, to perform a page down. The new page is positioned exactly like the previous page. But when I type fn+down-arrow or cmd+down arrow the new page view is either higher or lower than the previous page. Resizing the window makes it almost possible to get a consistent page display but not quite. It's awkward trying to read a document when each new page jumps to a new position. The arrow next to the gear is the only solution I've found.
    Does anyone know a way to achieve this page down view using just the keyboard. I'm using the iMac wireless keyboard?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    It is an annoyance, due to the 2 meaning two different things.
    The page down key means the whole window view which is not the physical page that you see in Pages.
    Apple could have clarified it by labelling the key +window down/up.+

  • How do I stop Pages from opening when I log back in? Login items are not ticked.

    Prior to Yosemite I had trouble with Pages where it closed down the app when I closed a document.
    I was given a command line to put in the 'Terminal' to deactivate Pages. This worked.
    That command was -  -g NSDisableAutomaticTermination -bool TRUE/False.   But that isn't recognised any longer when I reverse the True/False.
    But I now don't want Pages to open automatically when I Log in.
    The box is not ticked for Pages in System Preferences- Users- Login Items.

    It needs to be removed from the list, not just unticked.

  • How do I stop iPhoto from opening when i plug in my iPhone?

    How do I stop Iphoto from opening when I plug in my Iphone?

    Having the preference in iPhoto makes perfect sense to me.  After all, iPhoto is the application that opens.  You would expect that is where you should provide some guidance not to open.
    What puzzles me much more is why you would post this comment more than 18 months after wjosten answered the original question.

  • How can I stop Pages from changing the date of a document?

    It seems that at some point not long ago, I set Pages to use the current date when I use a template that I made.  But now, when I open an existing document that was made with that template, the date is changed to the current date.  I certainly do not want that to happen.  Does anyone know what I can do to stop Pages from doing this?  Thanks so much for any input.
    Al
    Update:  Immediately after posting this question, I found the simple answer:  double clicking the date and unchecking the 'automatic update' box.

    Right click on the date to change its behavior and once you have fixed it resave your template.

  • How do I stop mail from opening when I launch safari?

    Can someone please let me know if there is a way to stop mail from opening when I launch safari.
    Thanks

    You are really confused. There are several things I'd recommend, first is becoming more familiar with your computer by visiting (and bookmarking)
    Mac 101
    Find Out How Video tutorials
    Switch 101
    Next, you have 90 days of free AppleCare telephone support when you buy any new Mac. You will find the phone number in your manual or you can also click the AppleCare Contact Info if you cannot find it. However I would STRONGLY recommend carefully reading your manual. The AppleCare people will be able to help you sort out what you have done. You can also visit and Apple Store and speak to a Genius for free, just make an appointment.

  • How can I stop pages from automatic reloading, I am aware of the option in advanced, but it does not work for pages like Yahoo News and Drudge Report.

    I am trying to stop pages from being able to automatically reload. Sites such as Drudge Report and now Yahoo News anre reloading before I have a chance to read them and it confuses me due to a disability besides just being annoying. I have found the option in tools-advanced-accessibility and checked it but they still reload. And I did close Firefox and restart.
    I am using version 3.6.8 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722
    Thanks

    The Drudge Report site has a script to reload after 3 minutes:
    var timer = setInterval("autoRefresh()", 1000 * 60 * 3);
    function autoRefresh(){self.location.reload(true);}
    The Yahoo page probably has something similar.
    You can try NoScript to see if you can block that refresh.

  • How do I stop pages from automatically continuing to number or letter lists

    I am trying to create a document in which i am answering questions. It is supposed to be in this type of format:
    I. Residents
    #1 Household
    a) how many people live in the home
    b)
    c)
    d)
    and so forth. I got partway through and now pages is automatically adding the lettering everytime I press the return key. I cannot figure out to stop this from happening, I cannot delete the lettering/numbering to continue typing. Please help. I just want to manually put in the numbers or letters as I need them, not as the program thinks I want them.

    Hi Jenn,
    Pages Preferences > Auto Correction > untick Automatically detect lists.
    To remove numbers from what you already have, select the text then
    Inspector > Text > List > No Bullets
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • How can I stop iTunes from launching when I hit the button on my head phones

    On my MBP I have some head phones that have an inline mic with call answer button. The button on the head phones is fairly sensitive and I tend to bump it on accident often. When I hit the button iTunes is launched or if I have it open it starts music.
    Is there anyway to stop this from happening? This is driving me crazy!

    This problem has been an issue for a number of months and has led to frustration and public humiliation on countless occasions.
    When disconnecting from my Bose Soundlink at home (playing nothing) in order to taking my laptop on the run I open my laptop to find that the entire contents of my iTunes playlist is being belted in public. The subway, the library, my classroom is not the time or place for my laptop to make the decision to begin playing my music without permission. When at home and my Soundlink goes on standby I have nearly had a heart attack when my laptop spontaneously begins blaring my music when I wasn't even touching the thing.
    I love my Soundlink and I love my Mac but together the devices are causing no end of aggravation with no fix in sight. With each OS update I hope the problem is addressed but to no avail, it is getting tiresome that such a flaw isn't being fixed in a timely manner.

    Can't find anything in the preferences that will stop this new app from launching when I plug in cameras or phones.

    Plug in and let it load, then click on the camera/phone on the left hand pane and uncheck the box:
    You should also be able to do this via Image Capture (in the Applications Folder) but I haven't tested it specifically.
