How to view an Interactive PDF on an iPad?

My PDF uses three types of buttons: (1) buttons that go to next/previous or a desination page; (2) Buttons that show or hide other buttons – all of these are generated entirely from InDesign and, (3) Layer visibility buttons - which are created in InDesign, but the button Action is set in Acrobat. These buttons require Acrobat layers.
I have seen recommendations for other PDF viewers – such as GoodReader – but GoodReader does not support layers. Is there a Viewer that does? Like Acrobat, but that works with iPads?!
Or do I need to export to another format? Or re-create my document in another format? InDesign Folios do not support the buttons I am using; SWF files do not support layers... sigh.
I don't need to send the PDF to other iPads, only view it. (The Document is an interactive company presentation - my boss goes to a lot of conferences and he wants to be able to present to clients from his iPad.)
Anyone got any bright ideas?!

Sadly, Adobe Reader doesn't support playing videos. You'll need to purchase a better PDF reader, notably PDF Expert from Readdle. US $9.99.

How can video of interactive pdf show on Ipad?

Created an interactive pdf in InDesign with a video at the end, H.264 mp4 for Ipad size. THe video will show on the computer but will not show on the Ipad. Downloaded Adobe Reader 10.3 it can see it but will not play. Any ideas of how to get the video to show in the interactive pdf on Ipad?

Adobe Reader 10.3 does not yet support multimedia. None of the free readers I've found support it.

Does anyone know how to avoid the Ok, upload, thumbnails links that appeares when you touche the ipad screen when viewing an interactive pdf?

i'm trying to read several interactive pdf on my ipad, but when i touch the screen it ppeares a top bar with "ok" that if i touch it closes the pdf, an upload button, & the thumbnails of the pages on the righ side of the screen appears too. Does anybody know how to avoid it? Thank's

Are you saying that all pages appear blank when you open the particular PDF document (AINF....pdf) in Adobe Reader for iOS? It may be due to a bug in Adobe Reader for iOS.
You mentioned "links"...There are three different actions that the desktop version of Adobe Reader supports for links.
Go to a page view (within the same document)
Open a web page
Open a file
Adobe Reader mobile products (for iOS, Android, Windows Phone) support the first two but does not support opening a PDF file or any other types of files.
Additionally, hyperlinks are not visible in Adobe Reader mobile products. (It used to show hyperlinks in light blue highlight. But due to customer complaints, hyperlink highlighting has been disabled.)
Please let us know if you can share your PDF document with us (Adobe). We can take a look at it and diagnose the cause of the problem. Thank you.

How to transfer iBooks books & PDFs from old iPad to new iPad?

(Well, it seems my title got truncated; originally it read: How to transfer iBooks books & PDFs from old iPad to new iPad?)
I've recently gotten an iPad Air to replace my previous iPad 2. I have a bunch of books and PDFs in iBooks on the old iPad, and want to transfer them to the new iPad.
A search of Apple Support informs me that anything I've purchased from iBooks can be downloaded at any time to any of my devices (works like Amazon's Kindle system, apparently), but nearly all the content I have in iBooks on the iPad I've downloaded from other sources, so it won't be in my iBooks Store account (I might have bought one book there).
I've also seen several instructions on how to copy all my data from the old iPad to the new via Backup & Restore, but that seems to require restoring the new iPad to factory setup, which would delete everything I have on it now – including a bunch more books I've gotten since I started using the new iPad. And I don't want to copy everything, only the books/PDFs (the new iPad has everything I want, except for the books).
Since there seems to be no way to transfer files directly from one iPad to the other, it seems it must be done via iTunes on my MacBook Pro (and I want to copy all the books/PDFs to the computer anyway). So I connected the iPad 2 to my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9.4) and opened iTunes (11.3.1). Then clicked on the iPad's name in the sidebar to the left, and on Books below it. I see a list of the books on the iPad. I check the little boxes by all their names to select them (not sure if that's necessary, but it seems like a good idea), then click on the Sync button at the lower right, to the right of the bar at the bottom of the window with colored bands showing memory usage on the iPad. A message appears saying "The app 'iBooks' was not installed on the iPad '[name]' because the app could not be found."
But iBooks is already on the iPad; I have it open and see the list of books in it, which matches the list shown in iTunes. The message has a "More Information" button; I click that and it opens an Apple Support article titled "iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open": "Learn what to do if you see one of these issues with an app you downloaded from the App Store on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: The app unexpectedly quits; The app stops responding; You can’t open the app." But none of these apply; the iBooks app is on the iPad, and works fine there.
The article suggests: (1) Restart the App. I've done that, no help. (2) Restart your device. Done that, no help. (3) Update your device software and your apps. The iPad is running iOS 6.1.3, iBooks 3.1.3; not the latest versions, no, but I'd rather not update it to newer, bigger, more power-hungry versions if I don't have to. Is it that iTunes 11 doesn't work with iOS 6? I haven't seen this stated anywhere.
So instead I click the OK button on the message, but nothing further happens, so far as I can tell: None of the books/PDFs on the iPad (about 380MB) appear in iBooks on the MacBook Pro.
I click on "Books" in the row of words across the top of the iTunes window, and it shows me the single PDF presently in iBooks on the MacBook Pro. I click the box by "Sync Books", and a message appears: "Are you sure you want to remove existing music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones from this iPad and sync with this iTunes library?" Well, no, that's exactly what I DON'T want to do. I don't want to erase the 380MB of books and PDFs on the iPad and replace them with the single PDF now in iBooks on the MacBook Pro. I want to copy the books from the iPad 2 to iTunes, so I can copy them back to the new iPad Air (if, God willing, I can figure out how to do that without erasing the books now on the iPad Air).
I've been working with Macintosh computers for over 26 years. It's always been a fairly simple process to copy files from one computer to another. I don't want to "sync" all the data (address book, email, God knows what else) on the iPad with the corresponding information on the MacBook Pro – especially if that will erase everything on the iPad (which has information not on the MacBook Pro, e.g. 380MB of books). I just want to copy the books and PDFs in iBooks from the old iPad to the MacBook Pro, then to the new iPad, adding them to the books on the new iPad, so I don't lose anything.
Can anybody give me a clue?

Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

Can I view the same pdf on multiple iPads at the same time with 1 iPad operating as the master (controlling page turns etc)?

Would like to use 4nr iPads as an autocue system.

Can this be done without the use of 3G or a remote Wifi hub? I would appreciate your input.................

How to view ALL my files in my iPad?

Hello,
How to view all my files in my iPad because the "others" in my iPad is taking a lot of space.
Thanks

If you just want a listing, you can do this:
select owner, object_type, object_name
from   dba_objects
where object_type in ('VIEW','TRIGGER','PROCEDURE');(you don't want to see functions or packages?)
If you want to see the code for these types, an easy way is to use the package dbms_metadata to display them:
SQL> select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TRIGGER','ORDERS_TRG','OE') from dual;
DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('TRIGGER','ORDERS_TRG','OE')
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER "OE"."ORDERS_TRG" INSTEAD OF INSERT
ON oc_orders FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
   INSERT INTO ORDERS (order_id, order_mode, order_total,
                       sales_rep_id, order_status)
               VALUES (:NEW.order_id, :NEW.order_mode,
                       :NEW.order_total, :NEW.sales_rep_id,
                       :NEW.order_status);
END;
ALTER TRIGGER "OE"."ORDERS_TRG" ENABLE

How to view an offline-folio on an iPad?

If you are on a Mac you can connect your iPad to the computer, run Adobe Content Viewer on the iPad, and then select Preview On Device from the Preview menu in the Folio Builder panel. If you're on a PC you'll have to upload the folio and then log in to ACV on your iPad and download the folio.

Document viewer in interactive PDF?

I am making an interactive PDF portfolio in Indesign CS6, and I want to provide writing samples. I wanted to know if there is a pdf viewer that I could place in my PDF portfolio and have it appear when I press a button. Any help?

When you send a PDF, there is no way to "embed" a PDF viewer. How it will appear depends somewhat on the PDF reader installed by the person who views the document. If you keep things simple (limited interactivity), you should be fine.

Cannot open/view/access interactive pdf form using Safari

I was unable to open interactive pdf forms from websites with Safari 6 on my iMac. I received the following message:

To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

I still couldn't view/open/access the form even after I upgraded to Version 11.0.04 of Adobe Reader.
This problem happens only (I believe) after I updated OS X and Safari. Previously I was able to do it without any trouble as recently as July 2013. However, I don't encounter any issue if it is just an ordinary pdf document especailly if it can be downloaded to be opened later.
As far as I can ascertain, I don't have any plug-in except for McAfee SiteAdvisor 2.0, 1Password 3.9.0, AdBlock 2.5.46 (which is disabled), Evernote Web Clipper 5.7, and Open In Internet Explorer 1.0 (by Parallels).
I am using OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 and Safari 6.0.5 (8536.30.1).
Can anyone please help? Thank you.

Thank you, Carolyn Samit and andyBall_uk, for your prompt responses and suggestions.
Although I didn't follow your recommendations, they gave me some idea regarding what to do to resolve the issue.
The solution is actually very simple. I uninstalled my existing Adobe Reader (using CleanMyMac 2 but I believe moving the app to trash should do it as well), downloaded a fresh copy (version 11.0.04) and reinstalled it again. When the software was being installed, it asked whether I wanted to make Adobe Reader (AR) the default PDF reader. I indicated OK and allowed installation to proceed and finish.
After installation of AR, I reopened Safari and went to a website to click the link to the pdf form. And lo and behold, I was able to open/access/view the document! It worked with a second website.
So the lesson is when installing an upgrade remember to make Adobe Reader the default PDF reader.
I hope that this procedure can help others resolve their issue if they have a similar problem.

How to view a multipage PDF in the form of a contact sheet?

There are plenty of discussions over how to place a multipage PDF into an InDesign document ONE PAGE PER PAGE. But I fail to find out if there is a way (within a CS2 environment) to place a multipage PDF continuously as "thumbnails" either 1 : 1, or scaled down, filling each page in the document in a way similar to the Data Merge tool, for example - so as to create a contact sheet of the PDF pages.
The only way I see is to place the PDF the usual way, export the document as individual images, and then make a contact sheet using Bridge or Photoshop - which I find rather inconvenient.
Any hint, please?
Thank you, Pataka

In Acrobat Pro print to Adobe PDF.
In the settings for Layout choose for instance
16 pages per paper sheet.
One get's a PDF with one or more new pages,
which can be placed in ID if necessary.
Sometimes that's called printing N-up, here 16-up.
Best regards --Gernot Hoffmann
