InDesign Page Transitions GONE!

The strangest thing. I use InDesign to create presentations. I export my InDesign presentations to pdf. Up until recently the fade I used as a transition between 'slides' worked fine. For some reason now, when I export my presentations, the fade effect does not work on my pdf document.
Have tried exporting to pdf using and not using the 'from document' option when talking about exporting fade effects but nothing works.
I've searched high and low for a solution but still losing my transitions.
Anyone help?
Best Wishes
Richard

No, they work in pdf files very well (if you have the setting in
Acrobat set!).

Embed Video PDF InDesign Booklet with Page Transitions & Playable Video

e.g.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign...3D6C6A460.html
also such as:
http://www.page-flip.com (although yet to implement feature...)
So...
Is there any way to get embedded video within pdf - once placed in InDesign - to export (either swf or xfl) creating a booklet-type publication with page transitions (curl/ page-flip) with the videos playable?

Only Adobe Acrobat or Reader can show those PDFs (and many others) correctly. Are you sure that the PDF was opened in one of these 2 applications and not in Apple Preview or Ghostviewer or something else?
Only Adobe Reader 9 and X and Acrobat 9 and X can show PDFs with Flash content correctly. If you have an older version, let us say Version 8 or older, you are not able to see Flash content at all. If you have a newer version, that is Reader XI or Acrobat XI you need additional Adobe Flash player have installed on that computer and allow access to your PDFs. Can you check, if these substantial requirement are fulfilled?

InDesign CS 6 Page Transitions

I'm trying to create 'previous' and 'next' page invisible buttons for an interactive PDF with each button using a different transition. For example, the 'next page' button would use the 'Wipe' with a 'left' direction setting and the 'Previous page' button using the 'Wipe' with a 'right' direction setting. My problem is that its not allowing me to set different setting to each button. I've created docs with these exact options in the past with no issues until recently. Can someone supply me with a solution or reason I can't do separate transitions?

Steve is correct; page transitions are not applied to buttons. If you want differing transitions on odd and even pages, in the Pages panel, select all the odd-numbered pages and apply one transition using the Pages panel menu. Then invert your selection, (select all the even-numbered pages), and apply the other transition from the Pages panel menu.
Export ast PDF Interactive and set it to open full-screen, with page transitions "from document".
I just did a quick experiment here to confirm it works. My experiment included prev/next buttons, but the transitions work the way you want with or without buttons, because again, the transitions and the buttons are unrelated.

Is there a way to control "push" page transitions when using up/down keys to navigate a PDF?

I have a multi-page PDF designed with push page transitions. When using the forward/back arrow keys or the interactive buttons I have designed on the page, the push navigation direction changes whether one is moving forward in the PDF or back. However, if I use the mouse scroll button or up/down arrow keys to navigate, the push navigation only animates from the same direction...and therefore makes it look as if the user is only moving "forward" in the book. Is there a way to control this effect more precisely?
I am creating the document with InDesign CC 2014, adding the page transitions within the file, and exporting to interactive PDF using the setting "Page Transitions: From Document".

I don't think the iPad has it in it to control another device. Unless there's an app for it to be a remote control, but I'd imagine that it woudl be very brand specific.
You can certainly experiment with the VGA or HDMI adapters, but I wouldn't put total faith in them unless you had the ability to experiment prior to your presentation. I'd definitely have a backup plan.

Page Transition in SWF File

I have created a document in InDesign CS5.5 that I export as a SWF file and use it in my Flex Mobile project for the playbook.
In the Adobe Flash Builder simulator, the page transition works smoothly and there are no issues. However, this is not the case in the playbook, there is a lot of lagging and its very slow to transition from one page to the next.
Is there any resolution to this issue?
I tried using other page transitions but none of them work in my playbook, not sure why. I am trying to get a simple swipe navigation from one page to the next.. need help please!
Thanks in advance

There´s no such feature in InDesign....
If you want to make that happen, you need to do some actionscript coding.
Is this what you want (it takes few seconds to start):
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17227987/autopageturn/index.html
If it is, you can download those files as zip-pacakge:
http://www.edocker.com/support/edocker-freebies/
1) Extract ZIP,
2) replace SWFfromID.swf, you may actually export SWF from InDesign directly to that same folder, use that name and overwrite existing file.
3) Then open index.html to your browser.
Pageturning delay is 5 seconds.
If you need more control over your SWF, you may want to check http://www.edocker.com. With it you can add features like zooming, printing etc to your SWF files.....

Page transitions, when do they start working?

Page transitions do not work. Maybe I'm missing something, but I have tried everything and I've never seen a page transition actually happen. I've specified in the document and in the export options with same result...nothing.
Thanks.

What kind of export? What version of InDesign?
I never used these before, but
(1) Applying them seems easy enough.
(2) I made sure they appear in a PDF by checking "Interactive Elements"
(3) Page Transitions are supposed to only work in Acrobat in Full Screen Preview.
With these points in mind, I got a nice (well, actually horribly tacky and annoying) screen wipe within a couple of minnets.

Page Transitions

Hi,
I've created an Interactive PDF in InDesign CS4 that includes page transitions (not page turn since it's swf only). When the PDF is opened in Acrobat, is it possible to have the page transitions work outside of full screen mode? I've only been able to get the page transitions to work when in Acrobat is in full screen mode.
Thanks!

AFAIK, the only time those transitions work is in full screen mode.

Pdf page transition

Hello,
I want to use the swipe left page transition in the interactive pdf function via indesign. I would like the two pages i am animating between to be seamlessly connected (no background colour in between). Is this possible?
Would appreciate hearing asap.
Thanks,
Tom

So for example I have a 2 page pdf. I want to animate from page 1 to page 2.
I want to us the Push left transition that i have set up in indesign to animate between the two pages.
I can do this fine, but as the page size isn't the same as my screen size I have a black strip (the pdf background colour in full screen mode) inbetween to the two pages so the push left transition is not seamless, there is a break in my graphics.
Is there any way around this?
I need to be able to use on many different computers so can't chance the page size
I had one idea to set the background in full screen mode to match my background colour of my design, but i think this a computer by computer setting, is there a way to assign the full screen background colour to the document itself?
Thanks,
Tom

Duration page transition CS5

Hi all!
Is there a way to set the amount of seconds you want to display a page using the page transition function in Indesign CS5 before you export it to pdf or swf?
I would very much appreciate your help!

The JQuery will work on more devices than the CSS, but the CSS are the way things are going with newer browsers.

Page transitions effects

I've looked around a lot, but I have not been able to find
any tutorial explicitly going over just how to design transition
effects between pages (i.e., the effect through which the Home page
loads, and how to smoothly dissapear its content when the viewer
clicks to go to a different page, and the same thing for all pages
basically).
I've learned the basics of motion and shape tweening, as well
as masking (using tweens), and some basic actionscript, however,
with various content on my pages it does not allow me to do a
mask/tween nor is it at all a practical solution for my specific
problem: again, I want the pages to load up and dissapear smoothly
with some sort of effect. I have set the pages up using labels.
Any input, or link to a descent tutorial on the subject would
be greatly appreciated.
Chuck

Thanks for the posting.
While they're pretty terse, the InDesign Help files are pretty clear about whether things can be exported or not.
For example:
"Movies and sound clips you add to a document can be played when the document is exported to Adobe PDF or SWF, or when you export the document to XML and repurpose the tags." (Doesn't mention FLA files.)
or
"Page transitions display a decorative effect such as a dissolve or wipe when you’re turning pages in a document that is exported to SWF or PDF format. You can apply different transitions to different pages, or you can apply a single transition to all the pages. Page transitions are especially useful when you create a slideshow in PDF or SWF format." (Doesn't mention FLA files.)
or
"Animation effects let you make objects move in your exported SWF files. For example, you can apply a motion preset to an image that makes it appear to fly in from the left side of the screen while shrinking and spinning. Use the following tools and panels to animate documents." (Doesn't mention FLA files.)
But:
"When you export your InDesign document to FLA file format, you can open the file in Adobe Flash® CS5 Professional to edit the contents. Exporting to FLA in InDesign CS5 format replaces XFL export in InDesign CS4. Use the Flash authoring environment to edit or add video, audio, animation, and complex interactivity." (The last sentence says you should do those things in Flash Professional.)

Individual page transition timing

Hi everyone, is there a way to adjust timing to individual page transitions to go with recorded sound - trying to convert the ugly powerpoint file into a beautifuly InDesign built pdf!
thanks.

Actually, it's vice versa. If you adjust the page transition speed with a normal page selected and page transition assigned, then it is pagewise by default.
Only if you select "Apply to all pages" from the page transition panel's mini menu, then it is not individual.
However, depending on the type of transition, you either can't adjust the speed at all or only as fast, medium or slow.

Trouble getting InDesign pages into iPhoto

For years I have been designing iPhoto book pages in Adobe InDesign CS3 and using the "Save PDF to iPhoto" option in the printer dialog box to export them to iPhoto. I might add that as an interim step, once I select that option, the page goes through an automator work flow that first changes the PDF to a JPEG image and then exports it to iPhoto. In changing the PDF to a JPEG, I maximize the resolution to 300dpi in the Automator settings and I get really good results. However, that was when I used OS10.4. I now have OS10.6 and because of some security enhancements, the "Save PDF to iPhoto" option is no longer supported with InDesign. Adobe recommends a workaround as follows: Export the InDesign page to the desktop as a PDF and open that up using Preview. Then, you can access the "Save PDF to iPhoto" option in Preview's print dialog box. This works fine with one big exception. The PDF bypasses the Automator workflow and goes directly to iPhoto minus the important resolution enhancements that Automator previously provided. I have no idea why it would do this. Any suggestions as to how I can assure the PDF accesses the Automator workflow before en Thanks.

Make an Automator workflow to do the transition to Jpeg yourself?

All my bookmarks and personalized start page are GONE. Where are they and how do I get them back?

I opened Firefox & was told it had automatically updated to 3.5 (yes that is what it said). ALL my bookmarks, my bookmarks toolbar and my other two toolbars are GONE, my personalized home page is GONE. How do I get them back? VERY frustrated with Firefox which has been crashing a LOT lately, and several other updates have taken away my personalized home page. Why can we not keep these even tho you update?? Loosing my bookmarks is NOT ok with me. My Xmarks and delicious are Missing... HELP!
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== Firefox auto updated to version 3.5. It was ok yesterday

OK. It was Firefox 3.5.x that was on autoupdate (which I stopped now so I have to be asked before updating) on a Mac Book Pro (31/2
yr. old but updated with more Memory & larger hard drive (not sure I have that right, but now is 3GB Memory and 250GB hard drive Intel Core 2Duo). Using several places from the link cor-el (above) gave me, I finally found a copy of my bookmarks and have them back.
While trying to find my personalized homepage, I went to a google add-on for finance after adding several other items to a new inprogress homepage, and out of the blue, my old homepage shows up when I click on the google finance gadget! I could not believe it. And all my other stuff was on there. I immediatley saved it to my Bookmarks, to my idisk and remade it my homepage for igoogle.
Now, how do you explain that? Anyway, I am now back and good to go, just scared to update to the FF 3.6x version for fear of similar problem.
The only thing missing now is the 2nd toolbar that I don't remember what it was so guess I won't miss it. The other was the NPR one which I got back from NPR website.
Thanks folks!

Can't view page transitions

I have added page transition to a pdf in Acrobat PRO 9 but can't see any effects. I have checked my preferences and the box to ignore transitions is not checked. Can anyone help?

Ahh - I knew it was something silly like that! Thanks!

Hi, is it possible to create a page transition similar to jquery when using a 'nav to' button?

I am creating an iPad app and wish to have a menu from which when pressed will take the user to other pages within the same app. For this I am using a 'navto://' URL button with the file name and page number following within the code (e.g. navto://filename#1). In the Folio overlay preview, the desired page transition effect similar to jquery occurs but this is lost when uploaded to the iPad. Does anybody know if you can control the page transition effect?

What folio overlay preview are you talking about? There are no page transitions in DPS.
