IE pdf viewer kills interactivity in interactive pdf?

I have an interactive pdf that works fine in Acrobat reader, but when I
access it via an html link (in the IE pdf viewer) the interactivity
doesn't work at all. Is there any way to tell IE to keep it interactive?

Hi Bernd,
The interactivity is mostly just a bunch of links that allow navigation within the pdf. Also, the page orientation where 2 pages display side-by-side (horizontally) is lost and the pages render singly in sequential order (vertically) when viewed in IE. I was guessing that this was becuase the IE viewer imposes security restrictions.
Thanks,
Trey Carroll

Changing the Chart Title in Graphic View in Interactive demand Planning

Hi All,
Is it possible to change the Chart title in Graphic View in interactive demand planning screen.
When we go to interactive planning after loading the data we go to Univariate forecast then switch to graphic, the chart title shows the selection at which the planning is done. For eg; If I plan at die level and i select a particular sap material, the chart title displays Die value and not the material value.
Is it possible to change the chart title such that it displays all the selections made in selection winodw, like in the above case both Die value as well as SAP Material Number.
Thanks and Regards,
Diana

Dear Diana,
unfortunately this is not possible.
The chart title is build from the planning book name + the Show characteristic in the shuffler (+ available nav. attributes of the Show char).
The functionality you requested doesn't exist in standard.

Tibor

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

View an Interactive PDF, but print from a print PDF version....possible?

We are in the process of creating interactive PDF catalogs (basic stuff, product sheets, charts, etc...) for our clients. The catalog has a tab navigation on the outside edges (to the different sections) as well as a button navigation system across the bottom (zoom, home, next page, print, etc...). On the screen, it looks great, but to print it, well, isn't as great.
So, my question is... is it possible to have the INTERACTIVE PDF print function access a PRINT version of the same PDF, so that the client's customers can get a clean version that can be inserted into a binder, without all the navigation and tabs? The information needed is technical and accessed fairly often by the customers, usually without the benefit of having a computer or pad around to access the PDF.
I had seen this question earlier on the forums, but, I couldn't find it again, nor was the question answered.
I appreciate the help.
Thanks
Chuck

Yes you will have to export layers from InDesign. but there's an important caveat - the 'print' layer options checkbox in InDesign does not translate into OCG printability in the PDF - it is used to set visibility in the exported PDF, but every layer in the PDF will use the default 'print when visible' setting. You'll have to reconfigure them in Acrobat after export.

Viewing and Interacting with WebPage inside a PDF?

Would like to develop a PDF similar to the 'FRAME' technology used in basic webpages.
I have subforms acting as headers, footers, body and right navigation toolbar.
I want the PDF to load a specific URL into the Body subform upon Form:Ready.
Then, upon a command (TBD) - hide that subform (within the Body) and show another subform in its place.
Is this possible?

This is not possible using PDF.
Choose Adobe Flex instead, which helps to design using a rich set of components and provides much flexible usabilities.

Adobe Content Viewer/no interactivity or animation

We're running InDesign CS5.5
I work at an advertising agency and just had my IT department update my extensions to:
Folio Producer Tools v.1.10.1
Folio Panel v.12.2.2.1
I also updated my Adobe Content Viewer App on my iPad 2.
My problem:
The pages show up in Content Viewer, but no interactivity or animation of any kind works now. It used to.
Thanks,
Aaron

[Animations DO NOT work with PDF! It’s SWF only.]
You are right, I was remembering a robust presentation we did a while ago and we hosted it as an SWF file on the web. I thought it was a "PDF (Interactive)." Thanks for setting us all straight.
Much to your benefit... I spoke with another Art Director here and we figured out why my elements weren't working.
Here are the answers for everyone's benefit:
1. SCROLLABLE FRAME: I didn't include the Empty graphic box on the far right of the active viewable area. (See Bob Bringhurst's "Digital Publishing Suite Tips App")
2. All BUTTONS must be scripted "On Release" (I incorrectly had it as "On Click")
3. My second BUTTON was an info icon that I wanted to show a modal [pop-up] window and then have some way to close that new window.
Incorrect way:
I made both the info icon and the modal window as buttons and used the "Show/Hide button" actionscript. This doesn't work with "On Release."
Correct way:
Make the modal window into a Multi-state Object.
State 1= No Fill/empty graphic box. State 2= the complete modal window. State 1 is the default view so it appears blank when the viewer first sees the page. The info icon button "On Release" shows State 2.
To make the modal window disappear, create a separate No Fill/empty graphic box DIRECTLY OVER the modal window. (Don't to forget to add an "X" or "Close" into the design as a visual clue only). Make this empty box a button and have it script "On Release" to show State 1 of your multi-state object modal window.
Thanks to you guys! I'm sure I'll have more. And thanks a million for the App with tips Bob B., keep updating this please!

Hi,
Sory, but I'm still not sure, how ADF comunicates with BPM (I know that it uses EJB services and hwtaskflow.xml). But a still don't have an answers for follwowing questions:
1) I know ADF quite good. Having method in data controls (in our case getTaskDetails()) we need to invoke it somehow. I don't see anywher invokation of this method.
2) In generated task flow there is some managed beans and params - what is role of them ? Having over 50 task flows , do I need it in all of them. Where can I find description of those beans and params
3) In our approach we use BPM , ADF RC for UI and Business Components to persist data into database. Only data from payload we need is ID of master-level row. My question is - do I have to generate data controls for all human task ?. In my my opinion it should be only one communication point between BPM and ADF but not the same for all pair human task --> task flow.
All infomation I need from BPM is:
- task ID
- task flow name (to open apriopriate tab in my application)
- available outcomes
- to know is BPM operation is enabled

Content Viewer and interactive charts

Hello
I have created an interactive chart using HTML5 and Javascript and imported in InDesign using the Overay--> Webcontent.
The animation and the interaction is working well on the iPad2, but when I click on the screen to interact with the chart the menu of the Content Viewer is appearing and disappearing. I find this very disturbing.
Do you know how it is possible to avoid this? It would be nice if the menu would only appear when I click somewhere on the page but not on the interactive chart/web overlay.
Unfortunately on Android (Galaxy 10') the animation and interaction are visible but very very slow....
Thanks!!

Image viewer with interactive coordinate response

Hello! I'm looking for an image viewer on Linux which has the ability to show coordinates interactively.
Is feh or display (imagemagick) able to do that? Or any other applications?
Thanks!

You can either use accordion for frame transition or composition with fading effect, first with mouse click action and second with rollover function.
- With accordion , make label and container same size as overlapping frames, setup can close all.
- With composition , trigger and target same size as overlapped frames , with show target on rollover and transition as fading. For vertical transition, you need to select stacked position which would not give you option to hide target.
So the purpose you are trying to achieve is possible but either with mouse click action or fading effect transition.
Example : http://rollover04.businesscatalyst.com/

How to edit "Single Row View" in Interactive Reports?

Hi,
When using Interactive Report when one clicks on the little page icon on the left on a gievn row - one is presented with a small output from all columns for that row.
For example login as demo/demo to:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=12988:1
And click on the first icon in the first row. You'll get an output like:
Empno     7839
Ename     KING
Job     PRESIDENT
Mgr     -
Hiredate     17-NOV-81
Sal     5000
Comm     -
Deptno     10
How (and where) can I modify the output of this?
Regards,
Pawel.

Thanks, for your responses.
In fact this is what I have done. What I am looking after is simply how to modify what is already there. That way, I don't need to create different pages with Next/Previous buttons etc... for every Interactive Report I have.

P-Track Application: Joint view of Interactive Reports

Is there a way to create a customized report in the P-Track Application that joins the fields from the various individual interactive reports? For example, if I want certain columns from Projects tab and also other columns from the Status Updates tab, how can I achieve that?
Thanks,
Dorothy

Dorothy, you'll need to create another report or modify an existing one with a query that does this type of join. It most certainly can be done -- but -- you'll have to unlock the application so that you can edit it.. I augmented the interactive report on page 1 (Projects' interactive report) to give users the "latest status update" by project.
This is my "extra column" in that report:
,(select status_update from eba_proj_status_updates where update_date=(select max(update_date) from EBA_PROJ_STATUS_UPDATES u where u.project_id = s.id)) latest_status_update
