How does one best make a button to jump around a PDF (interactive) on an ipad.

I have been trying to figure out how to make an Interactive PDF document that could be loaded into an iPad.
We need one: Buttons to jump around the document for navigation purposes. A button would be eaiser to press on an iPad and if each page is designed the same people will know where "main menu" and the subsection buttons are and should be able to bounch back and forth in the document pretty easily.
It seems that with Indesign CS5 you can make goto buttons but when you try and export them... Acrobat will not honor the goto commands so your left for dead.
Yes it will work nicely with export to SWF and work marviously with a flash output but there's no way to look at flash content on the iPad.
So I've found stuff on the web talking about bookmarks and text anchors but it seems like there are limitations with that as well.
What confuses me further is when 3rd party PDF viewers claim they can use goto page number.

see the discription for GoodReader. (it has and ipad version)
So is this an indesign issue? An Acrobat 9 pro issue? I don't get it.
It seems so simple. Just want to button that would take you to say page 1. and on page 1 have a button that takes you to page 4.
Does someone have any advise on how to create a PDF that could do this?
SWF is very cool. But unfortunatly Steve J's personal vendettia with Flash is making it hell for simple users....

woodwing seems to have a nice toolset to make it easier for sure... but I'm not sure that is the correct direction for
us. As we don't want to have to submit anything to Apple. Our needs are for internal use only and we would not be creating content for the public.
I don't follow the ePup process fully... PDF's we can load right onto the iPad. It's a real shame about flash not working as we can make some very slick flash content right out of indesign with little effort. (maybe the direction should be a Flash to HTML5 converter? Goto page commands assigned to buttons would be wonderfull if they worked but when you export the doc to PDF Acrobat complains that it is not compatible. When we export to flash it works like a charm on a PC.
Haven't found a good gudie for bookmarks yet... and if that would give us buttons on each page to move the user back and forth through the document.

HT204291 How does one get full screen when using air play on my tv from my iPad,thanks in advance

How does one get a full screen when using air play on my tv when I'm mirroring,.? Thanks in advance

The iPad's display is 4:3, so it cannot fill your TV screen, which is 16:9
The only way is to change your TV settings and stretch the image.

How does one put animations into buttons?

I'm not talking about taking the button and fiddling with the way it is. I have an animated glowing effect in both movie clip and graphic and all I want to do is have it play, overlapping the button's over frame. However, everytime I enable simple buttons, neither work. Is a code needed?
Also I need to know how to have my glowing effect to repeat in a specific way. The animation has an intro and a loop. I want it to end by going back to where the loop is to continue looping rather than going back to the intro where it would spantaneously pop up (should I use a generic gotoAndPlay (framenumber); code?)

It's not really clear what you are trying to do or trying to avoid, but it sounds like you won't get where you want to be using SimpleButtons. If you create your buttons as movieclips you can them pretty well control any aspect of how they play out.

How does one actually make a subscription work? Please Adobe accept my cash!

I've tried many times to subscribe but have been unable to get transaction to work, and Adobe don't seem to went to provide support.
I'm directed here for what I believe is mostly a matter of being able to get a credit card transaction to clear within their system. Having tried several times, on one occasion I was offered an 800 number to call which simply didn't work. It also said that Adobe were looking at my payment and would get in contact. And that I would receive an email. None of which seem to have happened.
I have friends at Adobe I can call... but would have preferred to go about this via the online process.
Adobe.. do please get in touch.
Thank you.

Hi... that is indeed the link I followed.
It offers choices on problems and an FAQ. But then if those don't answer then it directs you here to the Community.
There is no way to actually contact Adobe directly it seems.
Best,

How does one strip out all Live Cycle data from a PDF and rebuild the form fields in Acrobat?

Someone in a different department built a bunch of forms in Live Cycle. We now need to make minor edits to these forms but we all have Macs and can't use Live Cycle. Currently our only option to change a date and a name on each form is to buy a new Windows workstation, buy a copy of Live Cycle and train someone for it.
I understand the Live Cycle technology and Acrobat technology for forms are somehow different but there must be a way to just strip out all the Live Cycle form programming so that I just have the bare PDF with the text and layout. Then make the text edits and rebuild the form fields in Acrobat.

It depends on your PDF. Is the PDF a static XFA or a dynamic XFA?
You can check to see if the PDF is static/dynamic by clicking File=>Save As, and it should say static or dynamic PDF as file type.
iText will work with Static XFA forms created in LiveCycle. Dynamic XFA forms are not supported.
You can also submit XML data to a server side script and parse the XML data using C# system.xml.xmlreader.
Another tool that may speed the development of the project is:

Note: FDFToolkit.net utilizes iText Technologies.

How does one fix/edit a scanned book which is in pdf format so that it may be read aloud...

...by the computer?
When I try to utilize the Read Out Loud feature in Adobe Reader, it says that the page is blank because it sees it as an image, not text.
Is Adobe Acrobat capable of fixing this? Could someone please teach me how? If not, could someone direct me as to how I might be able to go about learning how to accomplish this?
Also, has anyone developed a program that will read text from the screen, regardless of it being an image?

Yes, I had saved a separate file of it and was able to search/find a word on a page, but Read Out Loud still said "blank".
I doubt it's the quality of the scan, although, I could see that issue coming up. I read at "getsatisfaction" that it might be the pdf version, mine being 1.5, apparently should be converted to 1.7. I just downloaded the pdf version converter and will get back later.
EDIT
I guess the converter I found wasn't free. Anybody know of a way to convert pdf versions? Is Acrobat capable of this feat?

How does one make CC the default out of ACR rather than CC 2014?

I installed the updates for PS CC and PS CC 2014. Now, when opening a file out of ACR, it defaults to CC 2014. How does one set things so that it opens in CC rather than CC 2014?

GB has two "modes": In "musical time" the units of the timeline are bars and beats, in "real time", they're seconds. You can switch between them by clicking the clock/note symbols near the play button.
"Snap to grid" only works in the musical time mode.
An Apple Loop is always supposed to be an integer number of measures long. So if you're in 4/4 it can be 1, 2, 3 ... measures (which is 4, 8, 12 ... beats) long. Since the concept of loops is to be in rhythm with the beat of your song, this makes sense - so it is assured that the "one" of a drum loop, e.g., always sits on the "one" of a measure.
If your loop is only half a measure long, you can double it to make a full bar. If your loop is not in rhythm at all with a beat - well, then it probably doesn't make sense to turn it into a loop that adjusts to the tempo in the first place. You can still turn it into a "static" kind of loop.

Locate the Toolbar group group for that application. It should be ACC_OIC01 in your case. You can deactivate a specific button (event) under the toolbar group.

How does one get huey pro to start up when computer starts in morning

Huey Pro is a sensor that measures and monitors the light in the room so that colors are rendered as acccurately as possible. Once I calibrated the screen and device, it should fire up when I restart the computer but it dos not. the icon in the system folder when clicked, says that the system preference folder needs to restart, the it will fire up.
So How does one get this to start early.
Robert

Hi Robert
I am not sure that you can make the Huey Pro work correctly.Worked fine on windows but it was the one programme for me that I have never had success with on the Mac.
I have checked the Huey web site for info but the support seems to have stopped.
So the only way I can do it is to wait until the Icon is in the top right section of the screen,note that a white cross is in it and then click on the Icon in the dock open up the programme until the Start bit occurs then just click the close button.That fixes it for me.

How Does One Modify Photoshop Templates in Dreamweaver

I posted this over on the Photoshop forum, but no one has
replied. It is a hybrid sort of question.
I've been trying to modify the Horizontal Neutral template of
the Web Photo Gallery in Photoshop CS using Dreamweaver MX (v.6.1)
on my G5 running Tiger and am almost there. Aside from the overall
design (fonts and colors) I really like the interface of this
particular gallery with a horizontal slider to quickly scroll
through images, that when selected, appear in large form in the
center of the page. But I need to customize it to get it to match
the feel of my site.
My problem: I'm trying to point to a gif file that is part of
my website image library as my background. I want the Horizontal
Neutral Gallery to float in that image background. But, I can't
seem to get the background image to appear where it is supposed to.
I've gone into the various components of the template
(FrameSet, SubPage, etc.) and by duplicating the files and
modifying the code, I am able to get the background image to appear
within the tables that make up the navigation and image gallery
components. But, I've not been able to get the image to appear as
the background itself.
I'd even be happy to simply have the entire Horizontal
Neutral Gallery float in the middle of one of my own pages with the
image file as a background if it is possible, but can't seem to
even get it to do that. How does one access the code that controls
the background image in this template or the script that generates
these galleries?
Thanks in advance!

The reason the that the edit button ( - ) top righthand corner had 'disappeared', was that iCloud was enabled but that the Addressbook subsetting under iCloud was set to off in the phone settings.
Changing it to 'on' made the edit button reappear.
Thanks to the guys in Cambridge Apple Store!!

How does one manage these new render setting for previews?

I placed 4 HD clips from a nested into a sequence 5800 x 768 to mimic 4 side by side monitors for a multi channel video. Each clip cut from the sequence are at 1280x720 all sitting side by side. However when I rendered the previews, they came look all squished. However when I exported the frame it looks fine in Photoshop. (I changed the uploaded image to what it looks like in Premiere in Photoshop to demonstrate the appearance in Premiere.)
I imagine that the distortion has to do with the sequence render setting which for some reason comes out to 1918 x 253...or the pixel aspect ratio? How does one manage these new render setting for previews so it looks normal in the monitor?


Either way, I thought that this format would be a great way to view on the monitor 4 channels at the same time. I may need to place them on a “normal” 1440 x 1080 sequence in a line, bringing them down to 25% scale to make it work in the end. I did just try that. I think it will work...but when I imported and nested the old file, the scratch disks changed from the original set up on a D drive back to the main hard drive so I had to change it agin. Otherwise it works fine...so I’ll go with this for now
These are the instructions I was given.I attched a screen save of the AE file they asked me to use (They must be on vacation, because I have not been able to get hold of them). I don't know After Effects very well:
“As you begin creating or adapting work for e4c, you may find an After Effects template developed for this system to be helpful. Attached you'll see a zipped file with two AE templates. There is some detailed information (below) from the artist that developed these for us. In addition, a few bits of information that might help you along are:
·        The "Watchout" playback system can support WMV or a QuickTime files . We like .mov files with H.264 codec best!
·        The end resolution of the four screens is 5120 x 720 pixels (1280x720 each).
·        If works are four-channel, please provide a separate audio (aiff) file so it doesn't slow any one video down.”
Thanks for your help!

How does one loop playback of small selections within the timeline?

How does one loop a selection of footage from within the timeline? I'm trying to edit students' tapping hands and pencils on desks into small timed chunks that will play back as seamless loops and I need to be able to slowly shorten or elongate sections of footage as it plays and repeates until the loop matches the timing of the song we are making. I'm using PE8 and can't seen to find an easy way to do this. Surely there is one! Is there?

I appreciate the help everbody, but It looks like I didn't state my question effectively. Let me try again.
It will be easier if I explain what it is I am used to. This is what I need to know how to do in PE8, because the school in which I teach AV has chosen PE8 for my classes and won't let me install anything else.
In Sony Vegas - all versions, you can click and drag to quickly make a selection of video and audio. You can do this while video is rolling and you can then choose to have your A&V loop within this selection. I have seen replies on this forum where this feature within Vegas was treated as if it were a dumb thing. It's not dumb once you realize what it can be used to do for you. While continuing to loop within your slelection, you can move this selection throughout your timeline, rough tuning where you want your loop to be. If your loop needs to be exactly 66 frames, for instance, you could first set this selection at 66 frames and then move it up and down the timlene until you find the best place to cut. Or, in the case of trying to find where some sound within your selection makes a seamless loop, you can increase or decrease the size of your selection on the fly as the selection continues to repeat.
How do you do that in PE8? If it can't do it, can the full version of Premiere?
Thanks again for the help.
