InDesign - Interactive Function Problem

We just completed a interactive PDF with several buttons. Each button opens a different file that is stored on our server. We went back to update a button to open a different file and now the Button panel closes before we can selected the file to open.
We can create a text box and convert it to a button without any problem. However when we select 'open file' as a action then click the folder icon, to try to select the file, the Button panel closes. We are still able to select a file but it does get linked to the button. After exporting to PDF the button is linked to the C: drive.
Any thoughts on what has happened?

Thanks Sumit but the Hyperlink list does not have %20 in, only when you hover over or get warning.

InDesign CS4 functioning problems, can you help please?

I have had a problem in Leopard for a while: Once in a while, InDesign 6.4 would no longer open my files with a compatibility message. I tried all sorts of things such as deleting prefs and backup files, but the only fix was to trash the app and copy it back from another disk.
Now I just decided to upgrade to Snow Leopard, and I upgraded InDesign to 6.6 in the row. Unfortunately, memory short, I upgraded the copy I used for reinstalling. Now ID 6.6 quits at launch in Snow Leopard, and on the Leopard partition, it wont recognize my files… I'm stuck for there is no way to downgrade to the older 6.4 version that worked. Can you suggest something to sort me out?
The message in 6.6 says that a serious error has occured and InDesign will quitt, and this while the last initializators are called in the progress window (translation from localized version)

Hi Peter,
It's nice to know that the old software is still available! My copy is part of CS4, do you think that the individual program should work with the suite serial number and activation key?
To correct my previous post, the version that crashes on my computer is 6.0.6, and 6.0.5 seems ok but sometimes won't open files with error message 14 (file not compatible with ID)
Thanks!

InDesign interactive question...

I have encountered a problem recently with InDesign interactive that I wasn't aware of up till now. When I position objects on the screen, that have motion applied, if they are placed in the same position on another page with no motion applied, they preview out of position... i.e they look visually different. Up or down a few pixels. I've even noticed that images and items are positioned where I want them in the X and Y coordinates – then when exporting they look out of position??? This is really causing me a lot of vexation at this point as I was working on a project for months when I just noticed some of this. Why does an item that is placed exactly where I want it, appear different when exported out as a swf and previewed. Is this something I wasn't aware of with pixel preview or something??? Anyone encountered this, and is there a way around it.
Thanks!

Basically if you create 4 objects, say squares... and turn them into buttons and position them on a page. Then apply motion to them, say fly in from right. If you take those same 4 buttons and position them on another page in the exact same position with no motion applied... when you export the 2 pages out, the page with the buttons that have motion applied is shifted 2-3 pixels up! So say you want the buttons to fly in from the right initially but on subsequent pages you want them to be fixed in their position. The buttons with motion applied after exporting are shifting or not exactly in the same position as the non - moving buttons. Needless to say that's not acceptable for presentation purposes. It's visible! Apparently I never noticed it because I was applying motion to all pages... Very disturbing as I use InDesign a lot for interactive stuff. Maybe a bug... not sure but I'd love to figure out what the problem is and or ask Adobe about it. Too bad you can't just call em' up on the phone anymore...
As Peter S said, it's also completely outside my workflow. However, a thought popped up: have you tried creating the objects on a master page that's applied to the particular document pages involved, then releasing (aka "override them locally") them on the page where you'll apply animation? If not, give it a try and let the forum know the results.

InDesign CS2 Printing Problems

I teach in a Mac computer Lab (mac OS X) and InDesign CS2 is a huge headache for me; my students can't print their work half the time. I read online a lot of member posts about InDesign CS2 printing problems. Would a CS3 upgrade help?

CS3 upgrades are no longer available now that CS4 is out!
Perhaps if you described your particular problems, members of this forum could assist you. Note however, that CS2 was not supported on MacOS X 10.5 (Leopard).

InDesign interactive pdf viewable?

I'm creating InDesign interactive pdfs with embedded multi-state objects, vide, and Flash games... Needless to say I'm creating these on a Mac and they preview correctly, my question is how current do various users have to be on their Flash plugins in either Flash player or their browser? And, if they're bowser is up to date with the latest Flash plugin do they need to have Flash player at all?
Thanks...

...This is a newsletter, distributed by email. NOT mobile browsers, phones etc.
Most of the interactive features in InDesign are viewable in an interactive pdf. My real question what's the difference between viewing this in acrobat reader as versus using the web plugin for the browser? Is the Flash plugin you download the same as the one that runs in the browser? So if a users browser pluing was updated with the latest version of flash would it matter if they have Flash player loaded... I'm not sure if it's all the same thing anyway as I have Flash loaded on my machine so I can't tell what the hecks going on with reader and the PC...

Indesign CS6 color problems

Hi there!
I've a problem with colors and/or color profiles.
When I import an image (rgb or cmyk) into InDesign, when I export the pdf, it change completely colors; it looses a great part of red-magenta areas.
I tried quite all profiles suggested in the output intents (Fogra 39, Euroscale), and type of Pdf (X1, 2...).
I tried also to synchronize all applications profile colors with Bridge, choosing Europe Prepress 3.
I live in Italy, I own a Master Collection CS6 in English and I work with a Apple MBP 15" Mid 2014.
I never had this problem before.
Please help me, because i don't know what to do and because I can't export any pdf for my job!!!!
Alberto
Update:
I tried to export from Photoshop the same image as Tiff and as Pdf. The first is ok, the second one has the same problems of InDesign.
I tried also to print directly from Indesign and the problem persist.

Hi Rob! I'm your italian nightmare!
So I create a new document with this profile:
and exported in this way:
The image inserted has SRGB Calibrated20090131 (8bpc)
These are:
1) the image
2) the scan of the image
3) the scan of the pdf
I know that scanning don't display colors as they are.
I can tell you that pdf displays colors like the image visualizers.

InDesign interactive flash version?

Creating InDesign interactive pdfs, I'm wondering what the minimum requirements are for the flash plugin to view correctly? Since interactive features appeared in CS5 will interactive pdfs play on older flash plugins for acrobat reader... or does the latest version need to be used.

Ordinary interactive PDF features are still very useful. Buttons, Forms, Hyperlinks, Bookmarks, Transitions all can play in an interactive PDF without the Flash Player.
The only things that require Flash are the animations, Page Turn, Page Curl, placed SWF, and some of the button actions.
But without any of those, the interactive PDF is totally viable. Check out this discussion and the post I wrote:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1280516?tstart=0
Now, what about the future? I don't know. Honestly don't.
I desperately hope that Adobe can figure out some way to use the animations in InDesign in DPS and ePub. HTML 5 would be the most likely option. But right now, if you ask someone from Adobe about inserting animations into DPS, they will tell you about Edge Animator. That's the current flavor of the month for easy-to-create animations. (Although I find ID's animation tools easier.)
PDF is way too entrenched to die. But I do not see the Acrobat team doing anything to change the basic system of interactivity in PDF documents. That code seems set in stone. So, in my opinion, the interactive features that are currently there are all we're going to get. (This is my opinion. I know nothing official.)
I have put in a feature request for some way to use ID's animations in DPS apps. But that's not the ID team. It's the DPS developers. The irony is, however, that non-Adobe plugins for ID do have animation exports for DPS.
OK, I'll step down from the soapbox.

InDesign CS5.5 - Problem beim Öffnen von Dokumenten

Hallo,
ich bekomme ein Problem in InDesign CS5.5 nicht gebacken.
Erstmal ein paar Infos:
MacPro (2010/2011)
Mac OS X 10.6.7 und 10.6.8
Creative Suite CS5.5 (aktuelle Updates)
Beim Öffnen von Dokumenten bleibt InDesign sehr oft mit dem Sat1-Ball hängen und man muss es mit "Sofort beenden" schließen.
Es ist egal, wie groß und umfangreich ein Dokument ist und ob es vom Schreibtisch oder vom Netzwerk geöffnet wird.
Am Anfang dachte ich, dass es daran liegt, dass unsere Macs keine Internetverbindung haben, das wars aber nicht.
Ich habe mich schon mehrere Stunden mit google gemüht, aber die Lösung war nicht dabei.
Versucht habe ich schon:
- Dokumente geprüft
- Preferences gelöscht
- ID Cache gelöscht
- Font Caches gelöscht
- Fremde Plug-Ins gelöscht
- Preflight im ID deaktiviert
- SING-Plug-In gelöscht
- CS5.5 neu installiert
- Dem Benutzer Administrator-Rechte gegeben
Hier mal ein Crash.log: http://pastebin.com/8rED3fXS
Hat jemand noch einen Lösungsvorschlag?
Vielen Dank und viele Grüße
Dominic Schuller

Hast Du InDesign auf das letzte Update gebracht? (Ich meine innerhalb CS5.5!)
Ja, alle Updates für die komplette Suite sind installiert.
Passiert das mit einem bestimmten Dokument oder mit allen Dokumenten?
Es kommt bei kleinen und großen Dokumenten vor. Dabei ist es egal wie alt es ist und wieviele Verknüpfungen es hat. Es kommt bei Dokumenten vor, die vor langer Zeit im CS3 erstellt wurden, oder gestern erst im CS5.5 am gleichen Mac erstellt wurden.
Hast Du versucht die problematischen Dokumente mit IDML zu bereinigen?
Ich glaube nicht, dass es direkt an den Dokumenten liegt. Wenn man InDesign Abwürgt und es wieder öffnet, wird das Dokument, das man vor dem Absturz öffnen wollte, meistens direkt geöffnet und InDesign funktioniert ohne Probleme. Beim nächsten Dokument kann man glück haben, dass es funktioniert, aber es kann auch wieder hängen bleiben.

InDesign CS6 interactive pdf problem

Hi, I've created an interactive pdf using InDesign CS6; document contains text fields and radio buttons. When exported the radio buttons flicker when you hover over them or click to make a selelction. Does anyone know how to prevent this? Many thanks

I have a hunch it could be an Acrobat/Reader limitation.
Set up a part of the form without the radio buttons but just use circles. Export a PDF and open in Acrobat. Use Acrobat's Form Field Recognition to turn the circles into radio buttons (or use Acrobat's form feature to create radio buttons with the same value).
I doubt it's InDesign that's the problem.

InDesign interactive pdf hyperlink problem

Hi, I've set up an InDesign document to have Hyperlinks to other pages which is fine and separate pdf's where the problem lies. They're all in one folder, all a certain shortish length, not overly high in memory, numbering around 35 so far, will work fine for a while then want to connect to the internet with the Windows Internet Explorer warning box saying: Cannot find xxxx%5xxxx%20xxx%20... Make sure the path or Internet address is correct.
I'm working from the company server on a PC in InDesign CS6 CC, exporting as an interactive pdf including hyperlinks. Any ideas please?
Thank you, Emma

Thanks Sumit but the Hyperlink list does not have %20 in, only when you hover over or get warning.

Interactive pdf using Indesign CS5.5 problem with layering

Hi all
I have designed an interactive pdf - not for the web. I have a problem layering out a page. On the page there are 6 buttons. Each button when pressed will bring forward a box containing content/information. When I designed the page using indesign cs5.5 I made sure the largest box of information was at the top of the layer. I thought this would be the cleanest way to present the page. By having the largest content box (each of the six content boxes are different sizes) at the top it would cover the other boxes. When I exported the file out the smallest box was at the top, then the secondest etc. It looks pretty messy.
Is there a way to ensure that the lagest content box is at the top when it exported to pdf????
Regards

Have patience!
Have you tried putting that largest box on it's own layer at the top? I don't know much about buttons etc though, if you wait someone will come on here that does. A lot of contributors are in different time zones though.....
