Interactive Page Curl - But printing?

My client is insistent on having an interactive PDF (with mousover zooms, hyperlinks and so on) including a page turn. This is fine, I have read and done the tutorials on iPDFs (exporting as SWF, importing to Acrobat etc).
However, the client wants his customers to be able to print from the iPDF, which seems reasonable, but the swf file has no pages that Acrobat recognises. I realise it won't print the page turns.
Is there a way to get it to print? can you 'hide' a print version of the pdf inside, can you set the swf to recognise pages, is there a setting in InDesign's export to swf, or Acrobat's import, I can click?
We're on cs5.
Thanks in advance.

1. Peter Spier,
I think you'd have a lot less grief if you made two versions.
I agree Peter, I really do, but they only want one. Account handler has promised something before checking or asking properly. Also, account handler is the company owner!

On the PDF can you add in a layer and insert the PDF into that layer, and leave it stacked under the iPDF.
That way there's really two versions but the print version is hidden under the iPDF - and then if they print that page it should print the PDF page.
Sounds good, is that something I'd do in Indesign?
(Oh and thanks)

  • How to print an interactive page curl mult-page PDF

    I created a multi-page interactive page curl PDF and when I go to print it out, I am only able to print the first spread. How does one print the entire document?

    Hi,
    thanks for your reply. Initially the document should be open so that the user can input data into the form. But after the creater has finished his data input I would like to convert it to a static PDF so that the document can not be changed anymore. By converting it to a static document the document approvers will then also get the possibility to add comments.
    Regards, Michael

  • Having trouble having both an interactive form and an interactive page curl in a pdf?

    Okay, so I need an interactive pdf with a page curl AND an interactive form. I exported my Indesign file as a swf file with the interactive page curl, (which the interactive form doesn't work on), then I imported the swf file back into Indesign, opened the media tab and chose the option to 'open file on current page' so that when I open the pdf it doesn't ask me to activate the file before use, and then export as an interactive pdf. the interactive page curl works perfectly, but the form doesn't work. How do I put an Indesign form into my interactive pdf?

    Hi Enrico,
    If I understand correctly, you are calling the addInstance() on click of the button that you placed in your form and when you add more pages using this button and save the fikle and open it again, the newly added instances are not displayed in the form. Am I right?
    If this is the scenario, the you need to store the value of the forms created using this button and call the same addInstance() method in the initialize event of your form. I.e place the same code that is there in click event of the button inside the Initialize event of the form with the number that we have saved in some hidden field.
    Hope this resolves your issue.
    Cheers,
    Arafat

  • Using page curl but not effect page navigation icons

    I want to create an online magazine where page curl is available.
    This works fine.
    I also want to add page navigation icons along the bottom so that users can change pages.
    The problem is that the page icons become part of the page curl effect.
    Is there a way to use page curl and not to effect the page icons?

    You mean like this:
    http://www.edocker.com/_demo/edocker-online-demo/index.html
    I´m afraid you can´t place your navigations out of page area by using InDesign only. I think it was possible in InDesign CS4 but was changed when CS5 was released.
    With CS5 or CS5.5 you only option is to use 3rd party solutions like eDocker.....

  • How do I setup magazine to view pages consecutively, but print for double sided 11x17?

    I have a quarterly newsletter I've begun.  I set it up as (8) 11x17 pages with (2) 8-1/2" x 11" page views per 11x17 page, so that when they print double sided, there are consecutive. The problem is that when I am trying to navigate from page to page, they are not consecutive on the screen. Is there a way to set up the pages at 8-1/2" x 11" consecutively in InDesign, but send to printer for two sided 11x17 and have the pages come out in the right place?
    Not sure that I am describing properly. For instance viewing an 11x17 page (Page 1 as far as InDesign is concerned), the right half is Page 1, and the left half is page 16; or (page 2 in InDesign) is page 15 on the left side, and page 2 on the right side.  This all prints perfectly, but navigating it during layout is extremely cumbersome.  Also, printing for general public PDF viewing is impossible.
    Thanks, Rick

    LOL - That for sure I knew. I just didn't know what to do about it.  I checked Acrobat...but I never really noticed that "booklet" option before, and right now the magazine isn't setup right, so I can't tell if it's working.  will it know that page 1 and page 16 go on the same side of one 11x17 sheet, and pages 2 and 15 go on the other side of that same page when printing two-sided?

  • Very slow page curls in a PDF

    I am creating an interactive pdf. I created the swf file, imported it into indesign (CS6) and exporting as an interactive pdf. My pdf is simple, it only contains page curls but they are very slow! No where near as fast as the swf file when viewed in a web browser. Why? And what is the solution?

    You're using a hack by running SWF inside PDF. There is no solution unless you just use the SWF file by itself.
    And what's the value of the page curl anyway. It's a way overused effect.

  • Page curl in Flash

    Hi, am putting together an ezine for a client and he likes the page curl effect when exporting to swf file from indesign. I also need to place video in there too and the exported swf does not allow this. Is my only option to produce the whole thing in Flash? If so - can anyone tell me where I can get the script for creating the interactive page curl effect

    Do a Google search for a "page flip tutorial"... and include whatever version of actionscript you plan to use in the search terms

  • Tutorial for a page curl?

    Hi guys,
    I'd like to design a nice page curl but I'm not quite sure how to treat my Fireworks tools for that;-(
    I've already spotted this (on the first glance) nice tutorial here, but I didn't get it what the author means with "Click on your gradient tool [...]" after I deleted the selction!?! The thing ist, that I can't select the gradien tool while still using the polygon lasso tool;-(
    So, has someone the nerves to explain me how I can do this oder has anothe cool link for such a tutorial?
    Kind regards
    Thomas

    You know I was going to post the very same question today
    Does this work in FW's? I can't seen to use this??????

  • Interactive PDF with page curl

    HI there
    I am trying to create an interactive pdf with page curl from a book created in indesign CS5 that has multiple chapters. I found out how to do it with one file, however in the export menu for the book there is only the option to export it as a pdf or an epub file. No swf...
    thanks

    I suppose you are talking about a work-around method where you export your actual layout as SWF and then place that SWF-file back to InDesign and export that as Interactive PDF?
    Unfortunately you can use that method properly with 1SWF/1PDF combination only (as you have noticed). And there is no easy way to export multiple indd-files to one SWF.
    Your only option is to combine your indd-documents to one indd manually. I think Move Pages tool in Pages panel´s menu is the best tool for that but prepare yourself to face problems with styles, master pages, pagesizes, preferences etc
    If I were you, I´d try to find some other way to produce you eMagazine....

  • Add Device sees wireless but printer is wired and can reach the HTTP page on wire

    I installed my new Officejet 8000 Pro A809 with an ethernet but when I run the HP "Add Device" Wizard, it trys to install it as wireless even though I select wired and the install fails.
    I can see the http page for the printer and it shows all sane information about my printer so I believe the ethernet is actually working.
    I am running WinXP with the FW off. The printer is on the same switch as my PC & of course I can see the http page
    In the wizard, although I selected "Wired" of course the wire is working, the "Found Network Printers" page shows that its connection is wireless. None-the-less I click next and a screen comes up for "Starting Network Services" & it rolls though topology, wireless strength, etc. and to sending an SLP request to the IP then it fails & shows an picture of a wireless signal and a big red X.
    The HP Home Network Diagnostics Utility says that software to connect to printer over network is missing BUT I ran the Wizard all the way though a second time, I selected that my device was not online and it finished OK. I ran the UPDATE from the Utility & it did a security update; I rand it again and it did not find any.
    Although my FW is off, I checked the ports that the FW Guide says are needed:
    I can telenet to the printer on ports 9100 & 92200
    I cannot telnet on ports 137,139 or 427
    Ideas?
    Thanks!

    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    OK, plugging the Ethernet cable into the printer should turn off the printer's wireless radio, but in case it did not, click the button near the blue light (or go to Setup > Network > Turn off wireless radio on the front panel).
    Now, don't bother with the Add Device wizard, let's just add it manually:
    Verify that you can browse to the printer's internal web page by its IP address.  If you cannot, disable your security system's firewall (not Windows firewall, it is usually not in the way).
    1. Click "Start" button --> Printers and Faxes.
    2. Under Printer Tasks, click "Add Printer".
    3. Click "Next" button on the Add Printer Wizard window.
    4. Select "Local printer attached to this computer". Deselect "Automatically detect and install My Plug and play printer". Click "Next".
    5. Under Select a Printer Port option, select "Create a new port" and select "Standard TCP/IP Port" and click "Next" button.
    6. In the "Welcome to the Add Standard TCP/IP printer port wizard" make sure that the printer is turned on and connected to same network that your computer is connected to. Click "Next" button.
    7. Under "Add Standard TCP/IP Printer Port" enter the printer's IP address. Click "Next" then click "Finish".
    8. Now, select HP from the list of manufacturers, select your printer from the list of Printer models and click 'Next' button.
    9. If you can't find your printer, you'll need to find the install CD and use the "Have Disk" option to select one of the hp*.ini files. Alternatively, you can select another HP printer model from the same type.
    10. Add the print spooler name and click "Next".
    11. Click "Next"
    12. Click "Next" and then "Finish"

  • Had to uninstall iWork trial since I bought the pages app and it wouldn't let me print or save.  Now the app store says I have pages installed but I can't find it anywhere to open and use it.  I'm not very computer savvy and am getting frustrated!

    Ooops, guess I didn't need to post everything in the title - sorry!  I bought the pages app - but couldn't save or print so with some online searching found that I had to uninstall the iWork trial which had expired.  I did that - but now I can't figure out how to re-install the pages app!!  The app store says it's installed, but I can't find it anywhere to open and use it.  I'm not very computer savvy - and am a first time Mac user and am getting extremely frustrated!  I e-mailed some help center and they can't seem to help me either.  I would appreciate any help/advice that can fix my problem - thanks in advance!!

    OK Apple has stuffed up the demo version upgrade process so the first thing you need to do is get rid of the demo.
    That includes getting rid of the files in the system.
    The instructions how to do that are here:
    Note That where you see / that is the sequence of folders, each nested inside each other.
    User/Library/Preferences the com.apple.iwork.Keynote.plist
    Means the User (you, the little home icon, whatever you are called on your computer) then the Library folder inside that and then the Preferences folder inside that.
    Lion initially hides the System folders from you so you have to go to the Finder > Menu > hold down the option key and click on GO > Library to see it.

  • Pages looks fine but prints blank

    Using Pages in page layout mode, starting with a blank template, portrait 8.5 x 11.
    The composed page looks fine on the screen but shows up completely blank on the printer. Tried PDF, Preview etc. all blank. The content even shows blank in the printer dialog. I'm baffled.

    Duh! I have (embarassingly) solved my problem!
    Somehow I had left the option "even Pages only" turned on and as there was only a single page I was printing a null set. Unfortunately the print dialog says something like 'using latest settings' and doesn't list them so it took me a while to realize the error. I've only been using a Mac since 1985 after all!

  • SCRIPT: second page is not print but need spool number

    Hi Friends,
    I'm creating a script. It has only one page. if the line item is exceeds in main window then it automatically print the next page.
    now my requirement isgiven below
      I need to print the first page and the second page should not print. But i need seperate spool request for 2nd page. whenever the user wants second page at that time he use the 2nd page spool number to take the print.
    is there any solution or alternative method?
    Thanks in Advance.
    Vallamuthu.M

    Hmmm if i knew your exact requirement i would be able to propose something better i guess, since this seems a little weird to be honest.
    E.G. having a own output type for your page 2.
    Anyway, returning to what you asked. You opened your form using FM OPEN_FORM. and when you are ready you use CLOSE_FORM to close it again.
    You could make use of END_FORM followed by START_FORM when page 2 is to be printed.
    This will give you page 1 and page in seperate spools.
    you could as well close your form and open it again with ITCPO-TDNEWID = 'X' inmstead of using end_form and start_form.
    But still i highly doubt that complete scenario.

  • 6210 all-in-one -- prints fine on Win 7, but right side of horizontal page will not print.

    HP 6210 all-in-one installed now on Windows 7 and prints fine.  However, with landscape pages, will not print the right 1.5 inches of any NEW page I prepare, but pages prepared before on XP print fine.  I've tried all adjustments and it just doesn't make sense to me whta is going on.  HELP!!  

    I actually solved the problem myself by installing still another replacement set of print heads.
