Image hot spot in PDF

Hi all
I am very new to the Livecycle product ...WOW ..it's awesome !
I wonder if someone could please help me ....
I am using Livecycle Designer ES2 latest version and it is sinstalled stand alone on my PC.
My two problems are :
1. I would like to add an image into the fillable .pdf I am creating, so I can click anywhere on the image and I could set an action to go to a particular are in the .pdf file or to a url or print.
My questions are as follows :
Is this possible ?
If so the how do I do it ?
2.As a teacher I let my students fill in the fields in the fillable .pdf file and after making all the selections, they click submit or print.
Is there any way the resultant form can still be fillable because once they have finsihed doing the clicking and filling in the fields I would still like to edit it and then finally save/submit or print it.
Can it be done ?
If so then how do I do it ?
Really looking forward to a little help :-)
Thanks a million
Dean

Hi Dean,
Here is a sample of the image issue: https://acrobat.com/#d=EGVpC0TT2iHGyNXPUqWmCw
You can create/drag buttons from the Object Library onto the page. Then in the custom appearance you can set the fill and border to the look and feel you want.
In LC Designer, make sure that in the File > Form Properties > Defaults tab, you set 'preserve script changes' to automatic.
Also the object should have a 'normal' or 'name' binding in the Object > Binding palette. It depends on which version of LC Designer you are using.
When deploying forms it is important to consider what your users will open the form with - Acrobat or Reader. Here is a summary of what features are available depending on what the user has and whether the form has been Reader Enabled:
A summary and PDF is here:
http://assurehsc.ie/blog/index.php/2010/05/using-livecycle-forms-in-acrobat-and-reader/
There are two ways to Reader Enable the form: using Acrobat OR using the full server product LC Reader Extensions ES2. Come back if you need more info.
Good luck,
Niall

  • How can I place an image hot spot on top of a ap div with an image in the background of the ap div?

    It won't let me

    Right. You can't make an image map out of a background.  You must insert the image directly into the page (HTML markup).  Then apply hotspot tools to the image.

  • Drop-Down Hot Spot Images

    Hi,
    When I generate a SSL Print out of topics that use Drop-down
    Hot Spots with images in them, the images print out. I do not want
    them to print out. I have tried the Advanced Options and unchecked
    "Include drop-down text" and they still print.
    If there isn't a easy way to stop them from printing, is
    there a way to stop the text from getting messed up by wraping to
    the right of the image, it would be better to have it start at the
    bottom.

    You could try adding a conditional build tag against them and
    excluding this from your printed output single source layout. I
    haven't tried this so can't say it would work for definite but it's
    worth a go.

  • MS Excel document as attachment to a PDF document does not open with a hot spot/link in the PDF

    Hi, I have attached an excel file to a pdf document. I need to open this document in a new window by clicking an icon/hotspot in the pdf document to which it it attached.
    I am using the Link Tool to create a hot spot around the icon in the pdf. In the next window I am using the Go to Page view option, opening the attachment to its first page and clicking the "set link" button.
    For some reason, clicking the hotspot does not open the excel document as it does another pdf document.
    Need help resolving this issue with attached documents.

    Select a particular download file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window.  In the Open With section choose the desired default application from the dropdown menu then click on the Change All button.
    For .dmg files use DiskImageMounter (System/Library/CoreServices/ folder.)
    For .zip files use Archiver - same folder as above - or download TheArchiver - MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.

  • Using Roll Over Images for Hots Spots in DW CS 5

    Ok  I had this sort of working .. but
    what i am trying to do is have pictures pop up when the mouse rollovers a hot spot.   I do this with two layers and using the behavior window
    The full project is at http://www.kasdivi.com/pages/map.html...  ( thought that might be better then posting code)   The issue is in the left hand top of the map wjere you see malmok  (Col H Row 2)or Boka Bartol (also Col H Row )
    you have to move down the page before the image will show  
    I though there might be something in that area mapping as if you leave map in topmost position and mouse over Boka Onima (Column M row 5) the image pops up fine
    I tried to restart with a simpler test www.kasdivi.com/testmap.html
    the supposedly live hot spots are at Malmok (H2 ) and Boka Onima (M5)  but it this test nothing works
    I think I am doing something baically wrong
    any guidance will be appreciated

    You have some code errors that could be causing issues.
    Things like missing quote marks around the alt attribute on line 91, your links near that line are also malformed to both your images and webpages.
    Run your page through the validator here and repair your errors:
    http://validator.w3.org/
    If it's still not funtioning correctly after you have taken care of the problems, post back and we can take a closer look...

  • Multiple "hot spots," one rollover image

    Im building an online artist's portfolio website and trying
    to lay out a dozen thumbnail images that when rolled over trigger a
    corresponding image to appear to the left of the thumbnails. All
    hot spots trigger the same image to change. Any advice on how to
    achieve this?

    I went through the steps KenRogers2 suggested, and when I
    first click on "+" under the behaviors tab I get error message #
    61878. After clicking ok the behaviors tab opens. After going
    through the steps and previewing in Safari (Im running OSX 10.4.8)
    all I get is the hot link hand over the thumbnail, but no rollover
    image replaces the default. Any ideas?
    I've also recently downloaded an update for dreamweaver and
    have been getting a jave error when I try to open any file, but
    everything seems normal after I hit ok. Not sure that has anything
    to do with the other error, just thought I'd throw it out
    there..

  • Hot spots pushing image down

    This is probably a noob question but when I inset hot spots
    into an image it pushes the image that is placed directly next to
    it down to the next line. I'm not sure why it is doing this and is
    there anyway to have hot spots and not bump the image down below
    the one that is being editied? Thanks

    Show us your page, please.

  • How to create a hot spot for a browser filled image?

    I have a background image created in Photoshop in the browser fill, scale to fill. 
    This is my landing page and would like to create a hot spot or "invisible" rectangle to link to another page in my site when clicked.
    I have this done and working, however, my problem is that when my browser size is enlarged or reduced, the spot where I want the hot spot to be changes in size and location.
    I want to create a hot spot that will keep its form around my logo no matter the screen size. 
    I have tried this with a no fill box and white stroke to see how it reacts with each fill property but cannot figure out how to create a box to be in a fixed position that will always match up
    with the browser fill image location and size.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi
    Have you tried to pin the box on page so that it should be in fixed position ?
    Also if want the box to be on some specific position with page scroll, then you can try applying scroll effects which would scroll the box on page but within defined positions.
    Thanks,
    Sanjit

  • Image Map Hot Spot

    I am using DW8 I have an image map. If I use the square/rect
    tool or the
    circle tool I can get a hot spot to show. If I try to draw a
    polygon shape,
    I do not get the green overlay that works with the other
    tools.
    What am I doing wrong or is this a bug?

    Yes. Every time, on every image (placeholder).

  • Image as Hot-Spot

    Hi all........
    I had created a screen and displayed an image in a container.........
    can i make it as hot-spot.
    i.e- by clicking on this image another screen should be called.  Is it possible.......????????

    Hi,
    I don't think it is possible to make it as a hotspot. But you have a event in the class
    cl_gui_picture which is 'picture_click' by using this event you can overcome the issue you have
    that is by clicking on the picture trigger this event and then call another screen.
    Thanks&Regards

  • Hot Spot over Image Map

    RoboHelp 8
    I have a diagram with numerous image maps. How do I highlight which image map I am hovering over? Is it in te
    Jac

    Not sure about a "highlight" - I use a roll over tool tip with a brief description - I use 130 hot spots with roll over tips on one diagram alone (hot spots link to entries in a table).

  • Follow up on hot spots

    To follow-up on previous hot spot question-a response that I received indicated that you couldn't put a hot spot on a background image. Is there any other way for this to be accomplished.
    I try to the following to Hot Spot the following items:
    Search for home listings here, and
    Search for land listings here.
    Please look at the following website.  You will see what areas that I am trying to Hot Spot.
    http://www.grutkowski.com/index5.html
    Thank you for your responses.

    Simply take your header image out of the body background CSS. 
    Insert image directly into the HTML document.  Insert > Image...
    Once you do that, you'll have no trouble using the hot spot tools.

  • How do I use hot spots in the most advanced style?

    My first attempt at Dreamweaver web design.http://www.deer-harbor-stewardship-project.org  . I will be resampling my images and doing a ton of other appropriate modifications but here are some initial questions. How do I use this "plug in" http://mattstow.com/experiment/responsive-image-maps/rwd-image-maps.html#blossom feature for my fluid grid responsive image map. How can I make my hot spots turn up little boxes with a photo, an illustration, or informatory text? How do I get ride of the spaces between divs? Sorry if I have asked too many questions. I better read the forum user rules if you have them. thanks for reading this. endurobob

    Anyhow, it makes no sense to put image tags within container tags meant to convey semantic meaning to their contents since an image has no semantic meaning.  So try changing this -
    <div id="header">
          <h1><img src="_images/title_scan.jpg" alt="newtitle"></h1>
    to this -
    <div id="header">
          <img src="_images/title_scan.jpg" alt="newtitle">
    I completely agree with this. However, if having an image as a heading was important (if you styled it in a way you can not with CSS) you could always code the image into the heading through CSS.
    Something like:
    <h1 class="heading">This is a heading</h1>
    h1.heading {
    margin:0;
    width:??;
    height:??;
    background: #000 url(ImageURLHere) no-repeat;
    text-indent:-9999px; /* This will move the text of the heading off-screen */
    The 0 margin on the style should clear up the gap as well.

  • Hyperlinks - how to create a hot spot link?

    I would like to link to a new page from a button at the footer area only.
    This would not have a main menu level link.
    So where would I add the page in the site plan?
    Would I add a page to a 2nd tier and hide the name?
    Also how do I 'call' the hyperlink?
    Another scenario:
    There doesn't seem to be a way to create a hotspot over part of an image to link from the background image. - AND any text or image/box that sits in the footer area on the master page(not in the background) moves around when there is a concertina panel that pushes it down.

    Hi,
    You can add the page as  top level page. When you're creating it in Plan mode, right-click the page thumbail and click Menu Options -> Exclude Page From Menus. This will make the page not appear in the main level menu link. You can call the hyperlink by selecting the object you want to have the hyperlink then clicking the drop down in the Control Strip where it says Enter Link. Select the page you would like to link to.
    As for the footer link, I suggest using real text and applying the hyperlink to that by selecting the text frame and typing in the link. If you still want to use a hotspot, you can create a rectangle over the area you would like to link. Edit the rectangle to have no stroke and a 1% opaque (probably white) fill, then you will be able to use the link feature for that area. The biggest worry for creating a hot spot is that it may not line up correctly in all browsers as the page reflows, and depending on the rectangle's fill the link may not work properly in IE.
    Thanks,
    Dana

  • Can't Make a Hot Spot!

    Hi there,
    I'm using Dreamweaver 8 to make a new website.
    For some reason I can't make a hot spot. I've only made one
    website before and just checked on those pages and was able to
    click on the hot spot tools and draw a hot spot.
    Then I go to my new website and click on an image and then
    click on the hot spot tools and try to draw a hot spot on the
    picture- what happens is the picture tries to "drag and drop". That
    is the command that dreamweaver says is happening when I try to try
    to draw the hot spot. ???????
    What went wrong???
    Here is the Html code behind the photo I'm trying to draw the
    hot spot on:
    <tr>
    <td colspan="3"><img
    src="graphics-headers/skyfooter.jpg" alt="Sky Footer" width="800"
    height="45" /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    Any help at all would be greatly appreciated as I don't know
    what I did in the code that's preventing me from drawing them.
    As I'm just starting making all my pages off my template-
    found another problem:
    Template won't update all the changes. For instance: Made a
    change to the copyright footer - capitilized first letter- this
    change won't update. Made changes to the page properties with a
    link color change, also changed editable region- these changes
    updated.
    Weird!!! So the pages made from the template will be updated
    only part ways from the original Template!
    What did I do wrong? My first website went very well.
    www.zoodoc-stories.com

    When you create a polygonal hotspot, you don't click and
    drag. You click at
    the vertex of each side. Is that what you are doing?
    Here are seven common mistakes that will result in changes
    not propagating
    from Template to child -
    1. Rename the Templates folder
    2. Move the Templates folder to some other folder level in
    the site other
    than root level
    3. Move a template out of the Templates folder.
    4. Make changes to an editable region of the template (which
    will not
    propagate)
    5. Assume that template changes can be uploaded to the server
    without also
    uploading the changed local files
    6. Corrupt the site cache so that the link between template
    and child page
    is broken
    7, Improperly create your child pages by simply opening the
    template,
    adding page specific content, and resaving the template with
    an *.html
    extension rather that its *.dwt extension. (you can tell if
    this is the case
    by looking at the code on a child page - if you see anything
    like <!--
    TemplateBeginEditable... then this is what you have done)
    The 6th problem can be repaired by using SITE | Advanced >
    Recreate Site
    Cache, and the six others can be fixed by just not doing
    them. Have you
    done any of those?
