InDesign 6 Interactive Buttons Not Displaying Correctly in Acrobat X

Forgive me if this has been asked. When I create interactive buttons in InDesign 6, their display is erratic in Acrobat X. Sometimes they display correctly. Sometimes, their display is erratic and sometimes they do not display at all. I have noticed that in Acrobat X, the cursor changes to the hand over the correct area, but nothing happens when I click. Oddly enough, the buttons always display correctly in Reader. This is fine for my users but makes my job in doing the final prep very difficult.

I’ve seen this reported in this past. It’s not an InDesign issue or the files wouldn’t work in Reader.
If you get any answers in the Acrobat forum, please come back and share them.

InDesign 6 Buttons Not Displaying Correctly in Acrobat X

As further information, with small book files, the display is fine, but as pages are added, button display goes haywire.

Lori,
Thanks for your response. This is an incredibly painful bug. I hope Adobe is a little more attentive than they usually are in fixing this. I have more than 100 interactive books which I must convert and maintain (they're our equipment manuals). Not having full functionality, especially given the cost of the software, is a serious issue. Any suggestions as to who needs to be contacted for follow up?

How to fix the firefox buttons not displaying correctly (i.e. the "save file" button when trying to install an add on)?

For example, the button for "save file" when downloading an add-on does not display correctly. It works nevertheless, but the button itself is not showing up correctly.
*edit: sp errors*

It looks that you have made changes to the appearance of button that cause items and text to be larger.
In your case this doesn't seem to work properly with the consequence that the middle part of the button gets distorted.
I'm curious if this artifact would move to the other (Cancel) button or disappear if you would use the Tab key or cursor key to set focus to the Cancel button or if it is a problem with the label text that isn't default (OK or similar).

Group Layout- Button not displaying correctly

}When I run this it comes out fairly alright but the button in the lower right corner does not display correctly, i have tried setting the size of the button but that does not solve the problem. If anyone can give any advice or info on how to get it to display right I would appreciate it.

Hi,
I usually only use the GroupLayout when using a GUI builder like the one in NetBeans.
If I need to layout something manually I usually use a combination of the other layout managers.
Sometimes I combine the two: eg. static layout with the GUI builder, dynamic layout by hand
But if you want to use the GroupLayout manually, check:

Otherwise check:

RSS, Back and Slideshow buttons not displaying correctly

I just finished my new wesite in Iweb and published it to .mac. Everything is working fine in Iweb but when I look at the published site the RSS, Subscribe, Back buttons are displaying really screwy. There are added buttons where I didn't put them. How can I fix this? It is occurring specifically on my photo album pages.
Janer

Publish your site to and folder on the desktop and double click the index.html file to launch your site in the browser.
If the page looks OK do a "Publish all to Mac".
If its still not right you'll have to go back to the iWeb page and try resetting the buttons and then do a Publish All.

Table header sort buttons not displaying correctly.

HI All,
I'm having a problem with data table headers that seems to have appeared out of nowhere but is probably something simple I'm overlooking. To be sure it wasn't something deep in my app, I've created a simple project and recreated the problem.
I created a simple web project and dropped a table onto the main page. I then bound the table to a full select of a myqsql table and then compiled. Simple enough, everything looks okay, until I opened the page in my browser.
The table displays without borders and the sort buttons in the headings are not displayed but described such as this example
" Button to sort column Date as the primary sort column."
Any ideas?
I'm not sure if this is a Creator error/setting or something else but I thought I'd start with Creator.
Thanks
Barry

Some additional info
The sort "buttons" have been replaced by links, that don't do anything. I even enabled all the multiple-select, pagination, etc features for the table and rather than be displayed as buttons, links have appeared for these functions as well.
Thanks

BC Add To Cart Button Not Displaying Correctly

I have been told by BC Tech support that Muse is causing the BC Add To Cart Button to have issues when exporting my site live. Here are two pages, one created in Muse where the button does not work correctly & one not created in muse where the same button information does work correctly.
1.) Doesn't Work: Custom Made Outdoor Logo Mat - Customized Aqua Flow Entry Mats
2.) Works: bctest
Any ideas on how to get that working?
The page which doesn't work was designed in Muse & I added the module code: {module_product,201955,6549130} via the Insert HTML function in Muse. Apparently things get jumbled up on export or something to that effect.
Thanks
even on a page created from my side with no content whatsoever other than the Buy Button Code still will not work: Test01
& interestingly, a page created in Dreamweaver with the same module code works correctly. Test 02

Indesign nested style not displaying correctly

Hello, having a little bug here. when i style something that has a nested style, the styling doesn't continue after multiple lines unless i open and close the document... here is a visual example.
the first paragraph is displaying correctly, the second is displaying improperly.
the body colored text (bold cyan) style stops at an "end nested style" character, and the normal paragraph copy style (black) continues after that to the next bullet. but as you can see it won't visually show the new styling until i reopen the document. very weird, correct?
am i making sense? any ideas?
mac 10.5.6
2x3.2quad eight core
id cs4

Mike,
I would edit the first nested style to apply through one bullet (copy n paste a bullet here); or better: set up the paragraph style to make bullets and you could instead charcter style the bullet from the Bullets and Numbering part of the dialog box, and leave it out of the nested style section.
Question: Do you want the blue to cover a set number of lines? Then define a line style, just south of the nested styles part of the dialog box.
If the trick relies on a End Nested Style character embedded, then you are probably doing that because you want random word count lengths for the blue character style to be applied in different paragraphs. Sounds like work, tho, to me, and I would look for a simpler rhythm, if there is one.

Hover menu buttons not displaying correctly in Firefox

Hello,
I have a small problem with firefox. It does not seem to
display the images correctly. In firefox the buttons are pushed
down and you can only see part of the image. In IE6 and IE7 it is
displayed fine.
here is the URL so you can take a look at it:
Page
Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Just drop a zoom:100% style on the link, and IE will get it
right.

Upgrading APEX from 3.2 to 4.0 images and buttons not displaying correctly

Database 11.2.0.1
APEX: 3.2.1
Attemping to upgrade APEX from 3.2 to 4.0. The installation script runs fine and updates the database successfully. I run the .sql to import the images and it ran successfully however when I attempt to access the APEX home page, the images are not loaded and the buttons don't do anything. I did some research through google but did not come to anything that resolved my issue. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for your time...

If you are using mod_plsql, you need to run @apxldimg.sql script with SYS user file present with Apex installation. Also provide the location of your apex folder as parameter to this script.

Problem is you're doing what a lot of beginners do, trying to
create a
page by using one single table and splitting the cells into
numerous
cells......that aint going to work as you have found out.
It doesn't help either that you are allowing Fireworks to
generate this
code. When you do that it normally produces fragile code that
the
browser tries its best to interpret and a lot of times fails
The design you're trying to produce is a fairly basic 2
column table
which you should ideally set up directly in Dreamweaver.
A sticking plaster option would be to remove all the elements
in your
navigation side bar and merge that column back into one
single cell. You
can do that by click-dragging in Dreamweaver then in the
properties
inspector where it says 'cell' in the bottom left corner
click the white
square icon which will merge all the cells into one.
The downside to this is that it may upset the fragile code
created by
Fireworks and throw your page into even more turmoil.
If it does work you then need to insert another table (a
nested table)
into the cell which you merged back into one. Then put your
navigation
buttons into it.
Tables that are independent of one another cannot interact
and so you
create a more stable environment for your design.

Exporting to PDF with InDesign 2014, colours not displaying correctly.

Since we have updated to InDesign 2014, we are getting a lot of comments from our customers saying and asking why the colours are different. At first we thought is was because we send out low res proofs and there could have an issue when they tried to print. However, we are now getting comments from customers when we send them print ready versions. We cannot duplicate the problem on our machines (or my Windows Phone). We then suspected that it could be the version of Acrobat the customers are using, we are asking customers for this information. We have checked our presets and they are the same as they were for previous versions.
Has anyone else seen this behaviour and do you have any suggestions to remedy it?

If you are using custom color for your CMYK settings make sure that you set the right profile color in your InDesign CC 2014, since InDesign CC 2014 default color settings is set to "Working CMYK - U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2". InDesign CC 2014 then exports your file to PDF using the default profile.
In Previous InDesign CC the default values for Assign Profiles is set to Discard (use current working space) for RGB Profile and Discard (use current working space) for CMYK. But in InDesign CC 2013 if you are going to export an InDesign file into PDF, it will automatically use your Color Settings options for CMYK values. But in InDesign 2014 those settings will be ignored by InDesign because it will use the current Assigned Profile by InDesign. If you are going to check your your working space back in InDesign CC 2013 it was set to your CMYK Color Settings.
And Finally always check you pdf setting under Export PDF settings dialog box to No Color Conversion.
Hope this help. And I can't be sure if this will solve your problem. But at least I was trying to help.

Acrobat not displaying correctly in Win7 1920x1080 screen

Been puzzling over why Acrobat 9.4.1 doesn't display correctly on my new Dell laptop (D6550), i7 cpu, 1920x1080 display, WIN7 64 bit. Strange part is that it appears that the window overflows the top and right side of the screen a little, and that there is a DOUBLE header bar at the top, one with small icons and one with large ones, with one of them peaking through around the edges. Can't figure this one out, all other apps display correctly. Acrobat picture also looks a little blurry. Like I say, pretty strange, could find no "hooks" to adjust, nor any other reports like this on the forum. Anyone else run into this one?
thanks bob

Lori,
Thanks for your response. This is an incredibly painful bug. I hope Adobe is a little more attentive than they usually are in fixing this. I have more than 100 interactive books which I must convert and maintain (they're our equipment manuals). Not having full functionality, especially given the cost of the software, is a serious issue. Any suggestions as to who needs to be contacted for follow up?

When I open a pdf in Adobe Acrobat xi pro it is not displaying correctly. If a file is all black with orange writing, I will see only the orange writing. Its not until i print it or open crop pages dialog box that i see the background. i am on a Windows 7

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.
