How to have buttons in Interactive PDF slideshow?

Can you have an interactive PDF in InDesign with slideshow buttons that show previous and next?

Sorry, but slideshows are not a feature of interactive PDF. They can be used in Flash presentations or Digital Publishing Suite projects (DPS) but not interactive PDF.

  • How do I create an interactive PDF file with variable data

    We would like to basically do a 'mail merge' of our list of customers with an interactive PDF file (including videos, menus, etc - not just form fill out and web links) to create a single PDF file that contains multiple mail pieces ... one for each customer ... with each mail piece being customized for that customer.  Customizations would include different greetings (Dear Bob, Dear Dana, etc), as well as different charts based on data unique to the customer, different photographs, etc.
    I've seen that InDesign and Acrobat Professional can be used to create an interactive PDF (such as from http://tv.adobe.com/watch/ask-the-adobe-ones/14-calling-rufus-about-interactive-pdf-making).  However I don't understand how I can insert data from a database, csv file, excel file etc into the PDF file so that each page, or each set of pages, within the PDF can be customized.
    Can anyone point me to a tool to use for this?
    Thanks,
    Bob Kendall

    For that kind of volume and unattended operation, you want InDesign Server – which is the server/high volume edition of INDD.

  • My buttons dont show up after I have exported to interactive pdf!!!!! HELP

    Hi there,
    I am using cs5.5 indesign. I am creating an interactive document with simple buttons to move from page to page.
    They work fine in preview modes, but as soon as I export to pdf, they become invisible.
    Let me give you an example:
    1. I either create my own shape or use one of the sample buttons provided.
    2. I place text over the button along the lines of (click here to proceed)
    3. I convert to a button (if needs) sometimes i use sample buttons so that doesnt need
    4. I add a function (+ to next page)
    5. I set a rolloover state and normal state
    6. I preview it, it works fine
    7. I export to interactive pdf.
    8. The button is invisible!!!!!!!!
    Funnily enough, the additional text boxes that i sometimes place over the buttons are not invisible.......
    This is frustrating the hell out of me, i cannot find anywhere online that explains this. I have watched hours of interactive button videos and am convinced I am not doing anything wrong that they have told me.
    Please help if possible, I just want to have a simple next page button!!!!!!
    Thanks so much

    Hi there,
    Still trying to fix this problem, does anybody have even a small hint please?
    Everything seems fine, i convert to pdf and the buttons just vanish.....you can still click on the space where they were and it performs the function, just that the image or graphic that has been converted into the button is completely invisible.
    I know it seems a small thing, but I can't send my presentations out without it.
    Any help would be much appreciated, thankyou

  • Issues with buttons in interactive pdf (CS4)

    Hi there, I'm working on an interactive pdf that is going to be used cross platform. I'm working with ID CS4 (6.0.6) and Acrobat CS4 (9.4.4). I have some issues with the buttons I've created that I need to solve. The buttons are contours made in AI and pasted in ID. When done I exported my pdf from ID and checked with Acrobat and added a few links using Acrobat as one can't use the command 'go to specific page' in ID itself (yes, this has to be a non-Flash pdf).
    When testing in Acrobat I noticed 2 things I need to solve.
    First: sometimes a button doesn't work properly the first time but later on it does or the other way around.
    Second: when viewing on a pc using Acrobat Reader 9.4 some of the buttons show little dots in a square showing the active field when hovering, although I've set border colour and fill colour to none on all buttons.
    How can I fix these issues? I couldn't find anything in the properties dialog box. And one final question: from which versions of Adobe Reader (Mac and pc) are interactive pdf's supported?
    TIA

    Thanks George. You're correct, most of the actions were set straight in ID. The only reason I go into Acrobat is to hookup the buttons that need to go to a specific page rather than to the next page. Since my version of Acrobat is not English I had to google English manuals to get the exact English phrases. Alas, I can't hand you a copy of the document either since it holds some sensitive information that I'm not allowed to share.
    Instead of posting all the settings I made, I looked more carfeful to the buttons that have multiple actions. In Acrobat you have a bit more control over the hierarchy of the actions so I guess this is where we can straighten out the hickups, right? I have a few buttons that have actions for go to a next/previous page and toggle the show/hide of a few items on the pages. So I my case most of the buttons were set to first do the show/hide and then go to the next page rather than first go to the previous/next page and then do the show/hide actions. Could this be the cause of the staggering of some of the buttons?
    And for last, right now the ID document has 4 layers. I could reduce that to 2. Would that be of any (additional) help? Thanks!

  • Interactive PDF Slideshow

    I am using Adobe CS4 and am making my portfolio interative. I have more then one "Folders" button that each have their own category. I want to be able to click on them, and open up on Page 2 with the first image. Then on Page 2 i have "Previous" "Next" arrows that i want to be able to click through those pictures.
    Is this possible?
    If anyone can help me out, or guide me in the right direction, that would be awesome.
    Thank you in advance,
    Cheers

  • How can I change the interactive PDF font?

    I'm making a interactive PDF in inDesign (CS6). Problem is, when I export the file in to a interactive PDF, everything looks good except when I  want to type in the text field (interactive) the font is in Times New Roman. I want another font. So my question is, how can I change the (interactive) font? I tried a lot of things, but I can't find the solution.

    @Renzo – in Acrobat Pro you have an option to format the form fields.
    Under the tab "Appearance" there is "Text" with "Font Size:", "Font:" and "Text Color:".

  • How to display Table in Interactive PDF with WD-ABAP

    hi All,
    I have to display a tablewith 4 rows in Interactive PDF form, and i am using WD ABAP.
    These are the steps i have followed.
    1. I have created a table line for the required table
    2. Dragged the table line from data view to body page.
    3. Wrapped the table in subform ,and made it to type "Flowable".
    4. Unchecked the check box saying repeat row for each data item for table and for the header row.
    Now when i preview it works fine and display 4 rows, but when the same PDF is called through Web Dynpro component, it shows an error that related to SOM Expression of that line type.
    Any idea how to get rid of this error..??
    If somebody could also let me know if the steps followed to display the table are correct...??
    All replies will be appreciated.

    Solved it myself, changes the cardinality to 1:N of the context node

  • How to print a scrollable, interactive PDF file

    I've had an interactive PDF application form built. Works great for the applicants, as boxes allow scrolling so that applicants can add detailed info where relevant. However, now that the completed applications are flowing in, I can't figure how to print them (as part of the application review process) so that they display/print all the content in the scrollable boxes. Am I missing something? Any assistance would be appreciated.

    This is really a user question for whatever program you are using to print
    the PDF forms - it's not really an issue of the PDF language.
    Assuming you are using Adobe Acrobat, please post in our Acrobat forums.

  • How can I get my interactive PDF to work in Adobe Reader?

    I have an interactive PDF that contains hyperlinks to other PDFs. On the desktop or on a USB drive, as long as all the files are in the same folders, the URL destination (PDF name) link works. Can the same work when all the files are in Adobe Reader on a mobile device?
    Hyperlinks that lead to another section within the document works, but when I try to click on a link that should open another PDF, it doesn't work. Is this possible to do?
    Thanks!

    Adobe Reader Mobile only has limited features, and inter-document links are not supported. Can't say if they ever will be, as there are limits imposed by the mobile operating systems (for example you can't have two copies of the same app running).

  • How do I create an interactive PDF file in InDesign CS6 with Folio Overlays?

    I have been trying to export an interactive PDF file using InDesign CS6. It exports fine, and all the content works except for the Folio Overlays I created. I created two Folio Overlays (one Pan & Zoom and one Scrollable Frame). The overlays work if I preview them from the Folio Overlays panel, but they do not work on the PDF document.
    I am using File >> Export... to create the PDF document, and I am sure the PDF document is of the interactive type and not the print type. Am I exporting it incorrectly? Is there a specific step that I have missed somewhere? Do I need to create a Folio Build to make the Folio Overlays work?
    When I mouse over the Folio Overlays, I get the crosshair cursor which only selects part of the image when I click and drag it.

    PDF is one thing. Folios for DPS is another. There is a little bit of
    overlap but not much.
    The interactivity in the folio overlays panel is for DPS only.

  • Creating a Randomizer/Shuffle Button for interactive PDF in InDesign CS6 (PC)

    I'm creating a set of flashcards in InDesign CS6 (on a PC) so there are two sides (question then answer). I'd like them to "flip over" using an interactive PDF. That's not the problem - the tough part is linking the two sides (ie pages) together and creating a "randomizer" button so the user can shuffle the deck of flashcards in a new order while keeping the question and answer pages of each card together. Is that possible with an interactive PDF? I'd appreciate any info! The company is printing the flashcards and then offering them in a digital format to it would be great to be able to use one document for both purposes.

    Sorry, this is not possible in an interactive PDF file.
    You could probably do with SWF. You could probably include it a tablet app using HTML5 and JavaScript.
    But not in PDF.

  • How to place swf in Interactive PDF below other objects/frames

    Hello there,
    My first post here , I hope one can help.
    I want to make a PDF with some text/content on top, and swf animation in the background - below content.
    So I place SWF file into InDesign, bring it to the layer below texts, then I make spread preview. Works great, I have a nice photos in the background changing one to another [swf animation] and on the top texts about these photos.
    Then I export it to interactive PDF and it just doesn't work this way. Animation displayes always on top, covering content.
    Is there a way to have a movie in Interactive PDF covered partially by some other elements or it will be always on top, and to achieve this effect I need to export my inDesign project to SWF?

  • Non printing buttons in interactive pdfs

    In InDesign CS4 I was able to set buttons and their backgrounds as non-printing. In CS5 with the new interactive option this does not seem to be available.
    I would like to be able to post interactive presentations that can be viewed on screen but when printed out do not show any navigation.
    Any help please.

  • How do I make full screen button for interactive PDF

    I know in Acrobat I can set the PDF to open in full screen mode. I want the PDF to open in normal view. There will be a full screen button. Click once and the PDF expands to full screen. Click again and the PDF reverts to normal size.
    I wasn't sure where to post this but figured this is the place to start. Any advice on how to do this appreciated.
    Here's a movie of a PDF that has the feature I'm seeking:
    Full Screen Normal Screen button
    Was testing the link and I see you need QT Pro to download. Here's a zip archive of the same movie for download.
    Movie Download

    The client (a woman's club) indicated that about half the women found the full screen annoying and the other half found normal view annoying. So I made it an option. Also, most PDFs I receive such as ID magazine have the option to view normal or full.
    One thing I haven't figured out is how to get the page you're on to be highlighted. So if you go to page 5 in PDF, I would want the button for 5 to be highlighted in red. I ended up using page numbers but would like to be a bit more streamlined.
    I received a PDF the other day and at the top when the page numbers and left/right arrows are, the page numbers read
    FC, IFC, 1, 2, etc.,
    IBC, BC. I thought that was pretty cool. I imagine it has something to do with pagination in ID. Have to see if I can figure that out.
