Indesign PDF anomaly on iPad

I have an indesign document with pages A B A B A B A B A B etc. When sent to my iPad the pages are in the correct order but the strip along the bottom has them as AAAAA BBBBB AAAAA BBBBB. What have I done wrong? I used the web view setting.
Also the PDF now has a tab enabling it to be emailed but a previously made PDF does not.
Any ideas
THanks Bob

Thanks for your response.
I'm using iBooks because that is what I used before without this problem.
So, if I use the same viewer and get two different results it must be something I am doing during export to PDF from Id.

He says, a neutral grey is Set, When all 4 Values of c,m,y and k are the Same?
Seriously?
Embarassing Mistake in this Video. Has anybody from Adobe watched and cleared this? How in the World Couleur this Guy become adobe Certified whatever.
For neutral grey you'd use the k value only.
In RGB a neutral grey is Set with Same amount of r,g and be.
Depending on your profiles and on the colours, a neutral gray in CMYK Would have more Cyan than Magenta and yellow.
Just Take a neutral grey in RGB and let Photoshop change it to CMYK. And have a Look at the Result.

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.

Viewing a CMYK PDFX1/A PDF on an iPad and holding the color?

Hello,
Ok, here is an odd one...
We have a vendor where we need to supply a PDFX1/A 4/c PDF for the iPad version. When I view it on the iPad, it looks terrible...gets very bright, the colors aren't even close.
If I export the same InDesign file as an Interactive PDF option, it looks very close to the original on my screen and that is what I am looking for, but I have to show a PDFX1/a on the ipad, which is not an option in interactive pdf, just print pdf.
Does anyone know how to make any settings in the Export PDFX1/a option that would let it hold truer to the color viewed on the screen, when I view the same pdf on the iPad?
Is that even possible?
Thanks!

You might try viewing such PDF files using the Adobe Reader for iOS that you can download for free from the Apple Application Store. It handles CMYK colors, spot colors with either CMYK or Lab alternates, and live transparency much better than the built-in iOS Preview program. FWIW, there is nothing you can do with the export settings to make this any better if your vendor foolishly insists on a PDF/X-1a file. (A PDF/X-1a file is really only appropriate for printing under some conditions!) At least with PDF/X-4, any original RGB image and vector content will remain as RGB and display with much higher fidelity. Furthermore, transparency won't be ruined by flattening it when producing the PDF file. Such transparency flattening is what yields those stupid white lines that you see when viewing such files on the screen.

Interactive PDF acrobat DC ipad

i created a form in InDesign and made it an interactive form in acrobat XI on my desktop. I have opened up the interactive PDF on my iPad using the Acrobat DC reader app, but cannot fill out the highlighted form fields (i can see the highlighted fields though).
can someone advise on how to make these fields interactive so the form can be filled out for iPad usage? Thank you.

Adobe Reader 10.3 does not yet support multimedia. None of the free readers I've found support it.
The best PDF reader I've found for the iPad is not free, $US9.99: PDF Expert. It supports multimedia.

How to transfer iBooks books & PDFs from old iPad to new iPad?

(Well, it seems my title got truncated; originally it read: How to transfer iBooks books & PDFs from old iPad to new iPad?)
I've recently gotten an iPad Air to replace my previous iPad 2. I have a bunch of books and PDFs in iBooks on the old iPad, and want to transfer them to the new iPad.
A search of Apple Support informs me that anything I've purchased from iBooks can be downloaded at any time to any of my devices (works like Amazon's Kindle system, apparently), but nearly all the content I have in iBooks on the iPad I've downloaded from other sources, so it won't be in my iBooks Store account (I might have bought one book there).
I've also seen several instructions on how to copy all my data from the old iPad to the new via Backup & Restore, but that seems to require restoring the new iPad to factory setup, which would delete everything I have on it now – including a bunch more books I've gotten since I started using the new iPad. And I don't want to copy everything, only the books/PDFs (the new iPad has everything I want, except for the books).
Since there seems to be no way to transfer files directly from one iPad to the other, it seems it must be done via iTunes on my MacBook Pro (and I want to copy all the books/PDFs to the computer anyway). So I connected the iPad 2 to my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9.4) and opened iTunes (11.3.1). Then clicked on the iPad's name in the sidebar to the left, and on Books below it. I see a list of the books on the iPad. I check the little boxes by all their names to select them (not sure if that's necessary, but it seems like a good idea), then click on the Sync button at the lower right, to the right of the bar at the bottom of the window with colored bands showing memory usage on the iPad. A message appears saying "The app 'iBooks' was not installed on the iPad '[name]' because the app could not be found."
But iBooks is already on the iPad; I have it open and see the list of books in it, which matches the list shown in iTunes. The message has a "More Information" button; I click that and it opens an Apple Support article titled "iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open": "Learn what to do if you see one of these issues with an app you downloaded from the App Store on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: The app unexpectedly quits; The app stops responding; You can’t open the app." But none of these apply; the iBooks app is on the iPad, and works fine there.
The article suggests: (1) Restart the App. I've done that, no help. (2) Restart your device. Done that, no help. (3) Update your device software and your apps. The iPad is running iOS 6.1.3, iBooks 3.1.3; not the latest versions, no, but I'd rather not update it to newer, bigger, more power-hungry versions if I don't have to. Is it that iTunes 11 doesn't work with iOS 6? I haven't seen this stated anywhere.
So instead I click the OK button on the message, but nothing further happens, so far as I can tell: None of the books/PDFs on the iPad (about 380MB) appear in iBooks on the MacBook Pro.
I click on "Books" in the row of words across the top of the iTunes window, and it shows me the single PDF presently in iBooks on the MacBook Pro. I click the box by "Sync Books", and a message appears: "Are you sure you want to remove existing music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones from this iPad and sync with this iTunes library?" Well, no, that's exactly what I DON'T want to do. I don't want to erase the 380MB of books and PDFs on the iPad and replace them with the single PDF now in iBooks on the MacBook Pro. I want to copy the books from the iPad 2 to iTunes, so I can copy them back to the new iPad Air (if, God willing, I can figure out how to do that without erasing the books now on the iPad Air).
I've been working with Macintosh computers for over 26 years. It's always been a fairly simple process to copy files from one computer to another. I don't want to "sync" all the data (address book, email, God knows what else) on the iPad with the corresponding information on the MacBook Pro – especially if that will erase everything on the iPad (which has information not on the MacBook Pro, e.g. 380MB of books). I just want to copy the books and PDFs in iBooks from the old iPad to the MacBook Pro, then to the new iPad, adding them to the books on the new iPad, so I don't lose anything.
Can anybody give me a clue?

Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

Can I view the same pdf on multiple iPads at the same time with 1 iPad operating as the master (controlling page turns etc)?

Open the document in Acrobat Reader and use the menu Window > New Window.

Looking for a PDF app for iPad

Hi,
I'm sure I'm not the only one who's thought of this so I'm a believer that someone has created an app to help me and I can't find it!
Pretty much, I'm looking for an app that will allow me to edit PDF's on my ipad and then send it (Via WiFi or Bluetooth) to my laptop.
For example:
Drawing a graph on my ipad, with detailed information, sending that to my macbook and then adding/inserting it to my PDF file on my laptop
(Like getting a notification on my mac, loading it, draging it to my pdf, and vola!)
If there is such a thing can someone help me out (If not feel free to take my idea and makes some money off of it, just let me know that you did!)
Thanks

Hey there
"pdf creator" for iPad works flawlessly for me working with pdf files
It takes care of all my needs
I'm not sure about sending via Wifi or Bluetooth but I send them via e- mail all the time
Possibly it could handle your needs as well
Just type it into the App Store search field and the first one that comes up is the one I use
Jump on over there and read up on it before buying and see if it will help you
Hope this helps
Regards

Looking for help for sharing pdf files with ipad from mac. Pages only recognizes text. What app should I use for file sharing pdf documents?

Looking for advice on how to share pdf files with iPad from Mac. Pages seems to only recognize text. What app is recommended for pdf documents?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
If I understand your question, you want to read pdfs on your iPad, not create or edit.
Drag pdf files to the iPad icon in Finder while connected to your computer via the USB cable.
They will show up in the iBooks application
(If you don't already have iBooks, it's a free download from the App Store.)
Once installed, there are two buttons at the top left of the Bookshelf.
One is Books, the other is Collections.
Tap Collections, and you'll see Books and PDFs.
Tap PDFs and you're there.

Any ideas on how we could get any sort of shop stamp or other identifying mark onto our fillable pdf on an ipad.

I am looking for any ideas on how we could get any sort of shop stamp or other identifying mark onto our fillable pdf on an ipad.
The scenario is that when we do a job as opposed to our regular contract work, at a large nationwide retailer, their accounts people want the shop's stamp, as proof of the work being done.
Currently the 'paper' service report is just stamped. For the regular contract work, whoever signs the service report just uses their finger to sign the report, on the iPad.
On a PC the shop could just set up an electronic signature as their 'shop stamp', but the iPad is another story.
I am having a vision of ink stamps all over the iPad screen. LoL
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Unlike the desktop version of Adobe Reader, Reader mobile products (for iOS, Android, Windows Phone) do not support stamp annotations yet.
If you'd like, you can submit the Feature Request form. The Product Management team will take your request into consideration for a future release of Adobe Reader for iOS.
Thank you for the feedback!

Is it possible to use the writable fields of a PDF on an iPad?

I have a ton of writable PDFs that need to be fully-functional on a tablet. When I view a writable PDF on my iPad none of the fields are there. What's up with that!? Is there an app that can do this function? Does Adobe offer an app that can allow the user to take advantage of this much-needed function in a PDF?
I'm tempted to turning all my PDFs into web-based forms and skipping the whole Adobe route. I have about 450 of them though so any advice on this issue would be greatly appreciated!

Adobe Reader for iOS doesn't support forms. A few non-Adobe PDF viewers have some support. The one that is the best at this time is Readdle's PDF Expert, which also has decent support for JavaScript, so calculations are supported.

I have several pdfs on my iPad in iBooks. My iPhone shows only the categories, none of the documents. How can I get my iPhone to also show the documents that are on my iPad?

You will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to your computer (that will copy PDFs and epubs that are in the iBooks app, not just actual ibooks), and you can then sync them to your iPhone. Or you might be able to open each PDF in iBooks on your iPad and use the share icon to email them to yourself and then use 'open in' in the Mail app on your iPhone to copy them to its iBooks app (if the PDF is protected then you may not get the email option via the share icon).
The Settings > iBooks > Sync Collections setting doesn't copy items between devices, it just means that it a bookor PDF is on both devices and you move it into a collection on one device then it will be moved into the same collection on the other device

How do I add pages to a PDF in the iPad version of Acrobat reader

How do I add pages to a PDF in the iPad version of Acrobat reader

You don't.
Adobe Reader is a reader application. You can't use it to do editing.
If you have Adobe Acrobat on Mac or Windows, you can add pages.

Flash video game. How to make it playable & put onto website, and Indesign PDF file?

I am making a video game using Adobe Flash 2.0. I need to be able to show what I have through a website (my portfolio) and/or insert it into an interactive Indesign PDF file. The game needs to be able to be played and be used and tested by whoever I send the pdf file to, or whoever is would be view my the site I post it on. I have attempted many different ways to put my game onto my website (cargocollective) and Indesign, but nothing is working! I need help.
For example I need my game to be placed on the website page, and on the pdf document as an image. When it is clicked on I need it to start so people can play the game. I don't know how to do this and I would really love and need to know how! Thanks.

You are more likely to get a helpful reply if you ask this in the Flash forum (this is the Flash Player forum).
