Interactive button in Photoshop

Hi. Using Photoshop CS6 on a MacBook Pro.
I know you can design a button in Photoshop, but can you create one that is also interactive? Say if you wanted to do an animation in Photoshop and you wanted a button to go to the next part of the animation?
Should I be importing the gif into After Effects and add the button there? Not sure how it works.
Thanks.

Thanks Mike. We're trying to eliminate Flash, otherwise I would use it!
You can do it in PowerPoint and not Photoshop? Uh oh..

  • Is there no 'Undo' button in Photoshop CS3 ?

    Hello again, and thank you for your time.
    So far I'm only finding 2 choices:
    1. Edit>Undo (for a single undo action)
    2. Ctrl+Z (for multiple undo actions)
    I'm not a fan of searching the keyboard for short cuts if I can just
    click on the screen. (Ctrl+Z=pain in the *** for me)
    Is there a button available?
    A 'back' or 'undo' button?
    I bet CS4 has one . . .  should have waited for CS4 . . .
    Thanks again for the help,
    Brad

    Hello everybody!
    I wrote an on-screen 'undo' button for Photoshop which you can download from (and read the details regarding) here. . .
    http://www.iboxpublishing.com/index_on-screen-undo-button-for-photoshop.php#top_of_news
    I wrote it because, while Ctrl-Alt-Z works, if you happen to be working on a Tablet PC screen, (as I am these days), then it is very handy to have a little button you can tap on-screen with the stylus to undo the last action in Photoshop. It's an intuitive and sensible tool.
    The button is tested in WinXP and should work in later versions of Windows, and I've posted both the .exe as well as the script (for AutoHotKey) in which I've written full explanations using language designed for non-programmers, (ahem, artists), so that you can easily understand how the button works and how you can change it to suit your own needs and tastes.
    As popularity of the Digital Drafting Board increases, (draw-on-the-screen-tablets, that is), tools like this one are going to be increasingly useful. Until somebody comes along and writes a proper on-screen interactive (and programmable) tool set, artists are going to have to make do with what we can cobble together on our own. I've found this tool very useful, (I use it every day), and so perhaps it might also benefit others out there.
    Hope that helps!

  • How to use interactive layout in Photoshop CC for the photomerge function?

    I find it really hard to combine the images together because the end result from photomerge does not have the snap in function like the interactive layout. Does anyone know how can I bring back the interactive layout in Photoshop CC? I downloaded the PhotomergeUI plugin but error came up saying 'Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of doument'. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I was able to get PhotomergeUI to work in CS6 (both x64 and x86) by the following method:
    If you download Photoshop CS5 Optional Plugins and (for 64-bit versions of Adobe Photoshop on Windows) extract "\\CS5OptionalPlugins_Win_en_US.zip\PSCS5OptionalPlugins_Win_en_US\Optional Plug-Ins\Win64\PhotomergeUI.8BF" to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Plug-ins\Automate" and "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS6\Automate" then the Photomerge UI becomes available in Photoshop CS6.
    If the "Automate" directories are not available (existent), then you may first create them in their respective directories. This is not necessary, however, as the plugins may be dropped anywhere in the 'plugins' folder.
    However, this method doesn't seem to work with Adobe Photoshop CC. I will continue to investigate how to implement this plug-in in Adobe Photoshop CC..

  • Interactive button in PDF file doesn't work with Adobe Reader for Mac nor Acrobat Pro

    Hello!
    I've to use a interactive form which has an interactive button that is supposed to send that form by email. If I open that PDF with my iPhone or iPad with the PDF Expert App, it works perfectly, but for any strange reason, when I try to open that same PDF in my Mac with Adobe Reader or Acrobat pro, that button doesn't do anything.
    Can this be a configuration error?
    Thanks!

    The problem is deeper than that. It's not reader. Now the same form I was creating in LifeCycle Designer ES2 yesterday, with the actions working perfectly, no longer work. None of the actions are working.
    Could it be realted to me trying to set the default version compatibility to Adobe 7. It gave me warnings, so I set it back to 9.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • CS2+ JS -- convert item to interactive button

    Hi everyone:
    I was wondering if anyone had a script for converting multiple text boxes into interactive buttons in InDesign that will work in a PDF file?
    I'm primarily using CS2, but I do have access to CS3 and CS4 as well.
    Thanks!
    Theresa

    Hi Harbs:
    Could you please help me out with a script to perform that task?
    I'm current using JS on CS2.
    I need to add a hyperlink to several text boxes that are anchored in text.

  • Interactive buttons in InDesign - for an iPad

    Hello!
    For a University project, I have an assignment of pairing up with someone and creating a childrens e-book. Thing is, we've not had that long on it due to other deadlines, and the deadline for this project is this coming Friday (22nd).
    We've created the layout of the e-book but the thing is, the buttons work on the Preview window box in InDesign, but it doesn't when using the Adobe Content Viewer app on an iPad - the assignment is creating the document for an iPad.
    It's apparently because the buttons use Flash, and iPads dont support that.
    We got given some artwork, and want to create a button/interactivity where the reader (a 3-6 year old?) needs to find a certain animal on the page, and then once they do, they need to tap it, in order for a fact to appear about it.
    E.g...
    This is one of the pages/screens. It tells the reader to find the seagull. Easy, I know, but when pressing onto the seagull, we want it to come up with the fact. The red box around the seagull is a button, and the box towards the top right of the seagull is the fact box which is activated after selecting the seagull.
    It works fine in the InDesign preview tab... This was after clicking on the seagull, which resulted in the box appearing...
    I've watched a video on the Adobe website about some converter from FLASH to HTML5 programme called Wallaby Technology Preview, but it didn't work with that. The person had a moving animation though I suppose, and not buttons.
    Something like a pop-up message would work in iBook Author but it needs to be created using InDesign. (This version i'm using is 5.5)
    Many Thanks!

    The popup panel (text description) would be your multiple state object. It can be an ordinary element, it does not need to be turned into an interactive object. Select the popup frame, and in the Object State panel flyout, select "New State". This will create an Object (you can name this) with two states. Select State 1 and colorize the frame and text to none (for the invisible state). Leave State 2 as is (for the visible state). Make the seagull art an interactive button. Then select your event: "On Click" and Action "Go to State" and Object "Popup Panel" and State "State 2"

  • Left Arrow Interactive Buttons in InDesign CS5.5 Backwards type

    Does anyone have a solution to the backwards type that appears in all left or previous page arrows in the InDesign Interactive Button Section?
    Is this a glitch in the software. It seems the left buttons were created by flopping the right arrows...thus the backwards type. I try to flop the type...but the whole button flips.
    Any work-arounds to this?
    Thanks.

    Are you talking about buttons from Sample Buttons library panel? You probably have tried to insert some text to graphic frame that creates the button´s appearance? I don´t know if that´s a good idea....
    How about converting button to object, adding text, groupping object+text and converting group to button again... and re-creating the action?
    Or another possible way would be write the text to it´s own separate frame outside of the button, put it to correct place onto the button and then drag it into the button´s Normal/RollOver states with Layers panel or use Cut/Paste Into commands.

  • Interactive buttons not working on interactive pdf when the Indesign links are set correctly

    Hi all,
    I have one Indesign CS6 manual containing 17 files, 126 pages. This has been set to a book file.
    This has been translated into 14 languages and now we are having problems creating the interactive pdfs.
    After fixing the broken interactive buttons within the Indd files, we are finding that when we create the interactive pdfs, not all interactive button links work. When we recreate the same langauge interactive pdf we are finding that the buttons that were not working the 1st time, are now working, and some buttons that were working, are now not working.
    Is there a bug somewhere.
    Any idea why the interactive buttons work one minute and then not the next, and vice versa.
    Any idea how we can fix.
    I’m using Indesign CS6 and Acrobat 9 Pro.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi LoriAUC,
    Thanks for this. Very much appreciated.
    I have asked sagar-khanna from the other discussion is he knows more about the broken links etc.
    Thanks again.

  • Indesign CS6 - Interactive Buttons - Destination links changing when opened on another computer

    Hi,
    I have encountered a bit of a problem with Indesign CS6.
    I have a customer who has created an multi-chapter Indesign file which has interactive buttons within the each chapter in the book. These buttons are linking to each chapter. E.G., Buttons on the first page in chapter one, might link to the first page of Chapter three. This has been done by setting a destination, to the file and specifying the page number within the Interactive elements dialogue box. The client has created an interactive PDF out of this.
    When I have opened the file on my side, all of the interactive destination elements have reverted to Page 1 of Chapter 1 in every single chapter (this is the first file in the book). Obviously, this means me relinking all of the locations again (there are over 2000 in the file that would need to be fixed).
    Now, I am opening the file on a Windows PC in Windows 7 using CS6. However, the client has created the files on a Mac. Which could potentially be an issue maybe (I am testing this).
    However, has anyone experienced this before, and is there a workaround?
    James

  • Creating custom buttons in Photoshop

    Alright, I've been searching the forum and web all day and done some tutorials but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for or can't make it work so I'm throwing out a life line.
    I would like to create a custom button in Photoshop that I can use in DVDSP 4. I've built a psd file at 300x300 pixels@ 72ppi in a 16bit file. I created the 4 layers and arranged them from top to bottom Icon, Hightlight, Shape, and Mask.
    Imported into DVD studio pro as a custom shape, dragged it into the menu and said make button. Went to the color tab in the inspector clicked simple and change the normal selected and active states but it changes it for the whole button shape not just the shape of the psd file. HELP!!

  • Delete interactive buttons on all pages

    Hello,
    I'm new here, and I'm from Germany, so I apology in case for any missunderstandtings.
    The Problem:
    I have a PDF with like 1000 pages. On every page, there are interactive buttons like "Next", "Previous", "Contact" and so on...
    Now I'd like to delete the "Contact" button only, on every page in the document - in one single hit. All the contact buttons have the exact same settings, they have been duplicated throughout the whole document. So the button should be the very same on every page.
    There must be a way to delete all of them Contact buttons again - in one hit. So just like saying "duplicate onto all pages" I would just like to say "delete this button on all pages".
    Is there a Javascript code to handle it? Or any other way?
    Just to say it again: In one hit means all at the same time. I do not want to go through every page highlight every Contact button and then delete. That would take me ages for 1000 pages. And I have several dokuments to do that in...
    THANKS FOR ANY KIND OF HELP
    Using Adobe Acrobat Xl Pro
    Document createt in Xl Pro, not in Indesign.

    Sort the fields in the list alphabetically, not by page number, and then
    they should all appear one after another. If they have the same name they
    should even appear under a single item in the list, which you can select
    and delete with a single click.

  • Interactive Buttons in PDF not working when in iPhone

    Hello!
    I used CS3 to turn an InDesign document into an interactive PDF with buttons. It works just fine in a computer, but when I tried to view it in an iPhone, all interactive buttons are gone. Does anyone know why? Thanks! Here's the link for the PDF so you can try to view it on your own iPhones:
    http://www.cgu.edu/PDFFiles/Creative%20Service%20PDFs/Visitors%20Guide/VisitorsGuide2010B- Web.pdf

    Unfortunately there are no pdf reader which support this on neither the iPhone or the iPad.
    You have to create an App or rely on the limited functionality of the the pdf readers.
    I would like to see a pdf reader for the iPone, iPad ios supporting InDesign buttons and basis interactivity.

  • Adding interactive buttons in Acrobat X Standard disables the Commenting and markup tools

    Why does adding interactive buttons to PDFs in Acrobat X Standard disable the Commenting and markup tools in the PDFs, but only when they are viewed in the Reader, not when opened in Acrobat?  When the buttons are removed, the Commenting and markup tools are re-enabled in Reader.
    Thank you.

    Which version of Reader are you testing with?

  • 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.
