Interactive PDF buttons not always working

Hello,
My co-worker is using InDesign CS5 to make an interactive PDF. In the PDF the viewer can click an image, and an enlargement will appear and the background will have a 50% gray transparency.
What's odd is that on most pages the buttons work perfectly, while on a few other pages they do not at all (e.g. buttons do nothing, or no gray transparency appears, etc...).
We've reviewed the pages and everything seems to be in order. If she re-creates the page, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. If we take the problematic page and copy/paste it into a new document the exported PDF works fine.
Any hints as to why sometimes the interactive features work as setup and why sometimes they don't? Is it possible we accidentally had a setting on specific pages that was causing the interactive features to malfunction?
Thanks!

The firs thing to do would be to export it to idml then open that in Indesign and give that a go.  The fact that if you paste it into a new document it works means it may be document corruption.  However it could also be something on that page or in the document that is interfering with it that is not in the new document.  Something on a layer above that is hiding the button?

  • Help! InDesign interactive PDF buttons not working in Safari or on iPad

    I made an infographic in Indesign for our university magazine with a QR code to link to an interactive pdf. Nothing too complicated animation wise, simply buttons that you can click on to view different parts of the graphic. However, the buttons are not working at all in Safari and on the iPhone and iPad, the buttons disapear completley. Please help.

    Thanks,

    Whether buttons work correctly in a PDF file depend entirely on what PDF reader you're using. Here are a couple of important facts:
    * While corrected created interactive PDFs will display correctly in the FREE Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat, they probably won't display correctly in Apple's Preview application which is probably what you're viewing in Safari.
    * None of the PDF readers currently available on an iPad (e.g., iBooks, GoodReader, etc.) correctly handle interactivity like buttons on an iPad.

  • Amber button not always working

    I recently had my screen replaced due to pixel issues. Since getting it back my amber light at times either doesn't work no matter how many times you click on it, or it isn't there at all. This happens in many programs: mail, internet connect, Browser, Finder Window, Folders that I open. If I quit the program the amber button will start working again. What could be the problem?

    yes, apple will fix it. it's a common problem. one low-tech fix is to remove the battery and place a thick piece of paper about 1 cm square under where the button is. some people have had good results from this. it might save you from making that trip.
    good luck!

  • Next page button not always working..?????

    I've created a report which I'm loading it into a CrystalReportViewer 13 in Visual Studio 2010. (Web App)
    When I run it though the next and previous buttons don't work correctly. It goes to page 2
    ok but after that it wont move to page 3.
    I can type in the page number and it will go to the right page.
    If I'm on the last page and select the previous button it goes all the way back
    to page 1.
    Has anyone else come across this problem and perhaps solved it?
    Thanks in advance,
    Isaac

  • Iphone 5 home button not always working

    My, recently replaced by the genius bar, iphone 5 has a home button when pushed sounds like it "sticks" and it doesn't register consistently. I find I have to push it several times to get it to work. I have reset the phone and reset the home button. I have not dropped it nor has it been in water.  Does this require another replacement or fix by the genius bar?  Thnx

    Bring it in and find out!

  • IPhone 5 power button not always working

    Hey all,
    I got this iPhone 5 (white) 64GB a year from last Christmas. Where I work there is lots of flour, so even with the case on the phone, and even trying to keep the phone away from dust, I think it got to the power button. It still works fully, but I have to press it 3-4 times or even more sometimes to turn the screen off on the phone. To wake it up, same thing. I used the Home button to wake it up in that case. Is there anything I can do to fix this without bringing it in, or taking it apart?. I was thinking my vacuum designed for gadgets and computers, just turn it off and vacuum around the top of the phone a bit, and around the case itself. Let me know what you guys think, thanks.
    P,S, the phone is not scratched at all, has never been dropped so this is the only issue I've had with it after a year of ownership.

    It seems that this problem is very common, I've asked around. At least three people I know have had the same problem with their iPhone's (iPhone 4, iPhone 5 so far). How come no one replied to this question I posted?, is it a question that everyone hates to answer?.
    The only answer I've gotten from research is by using AssistiveTouch to lock my phone, and turning off my iPhone by holding down on the "Lock Screen" button while using the AssistiveTouch feature. (But I'm still mad that this happened).
    I found out that this is not a problem with dust. The button's just do this to us. Other owners I know that had this problem were not working around dust.
    The only question that still remains, is if this problem is covered under warranty?. But really, from the past I've seen a cracked screen as not covered under warranty, and the same goes for water damage. A bad power button?, that has happened frequently to probably thousands of iPhone owners?. It probably isn't covered. Please correct me if I am wrong in all that I have said here.

  • Home button not always working

    does anyone else have the same problem where there home button is intermitent.
    Some times it works first time, other time a double tap won even bring up shortcut menu.
    press hard, no response, press light no response, next time pick up phone its ok.
    Anyone got any ideas?
    Scratchless

    That's a somewhat common problem. You can take it to Apple for replacement (if you are under warranty) or put on your surgery gloves and attempt the repair yourself. Gizmodo recently posted a tutorial: http://gizmodo.com/5818876/ifixit-home-button-repair-gallery/gallery/1
    Best of luck!

  • Bottom button is not always working.

    My Iphone bottom button does not always work.  Is there a way to fix that.

    You mean your home button?
    If it intermittently works, then you either have to get it cleaned out or fixed. Back up your iPhone and take it into an Apple Store.

  • I publish a 41mb newsletter monthly into interactive pdf. It always becomes a file size of 4mb, 10% of original, when I save to pdf. This month my newsletter is 41mb and it drops to 11mb, 25% of original. I have re-sized all pictures, deleted pages separa

    I publish a 41mb InDesign newsletter monthly into interactive pdf. It always becomes a file size of 4mb, 10% of original, when I save to pdf. This month my newsletter is 41mb and it drops to 11mb, 25% of original. I have re-sized all pictures, deleted pages separately, have gotten the file size down to 16mb and it drops to 7mb, 45% of original.
    I have gone back and saved Feb and March and it saves to 10% of original, as it did before, and I use the same mechanism to save now.
    I have gone to Acrobat Pro and optimized down to 8.8mb, but the quality is not acceptable.
    What other variable is there that I haven't discovered?

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • Is there a plug-in for Indesign Interactive PDF buttons which simulates the same control as Acrobat?

    I want to know if there is a third party out there making plug-ins for Indesign CS6 specifically for interactive PDF buttons and forms which allows for better control over text boxes.... ie. date formatting, 1-10 characters per text boxes, etc.

    Not that I've heard of. You'll have to tweak those features in Acrobat Pro.

  • Web Intelligence is not always working  well

    i found web intelligence is not always working, sometime, when i try to open a document, it takes so long, sometimes, it is fast, sometimes when i try to refresh the report, it gives me error, i am wondering if someone knows what could cause this kind of issue? is it proxy? or something else?

    Tara,
    there are many factors that can cause slow performance.  In those cases where it is sometimes fast, it may be due to caching -- another user recently requested the same report and the report is in the server's cache, so instead of running the report from the start it sends the cache to you.  In other cases there may be no cache built up so you get stuck waiting for cache and your report comes up slowly.  There are a couple of techniques for tracking down slow performance, but mostly it happens due to either a database problem or an overworked applications/web server, or poor communication/LAN/Network lines.  Depending on your expertise you'll gravitate to checking that aspect out first and investigating one of the aspects to see where a bottleneck is getting produced.  Another technique is to add -trace to your service startups to add more verbose messages to your logs.  Adding trace will help you to see more of what is going on in the background.  I guess it's a matter of digging in and following your instincts until you can nail down the culprit.
    Thanks,
    John

  • LR4.2 and "Do not import selected duplicates" does not always work.

    LR4.2 and "Do not import selected duplicates" does not always work. Running a Mac, 10.6.8, I am cleaning up hard drives, organizing old files. There are times lightroom 4.2 (and before) does not recognize already imported raws and does not gray them out. These are backed up cards and folders of of raw images. Why is the "do not import selected duplicates" check box not working???!!!

    There's a known (and old) bug when duplicate identification fails on photos
    that have been imported from another catalog.

  • Button that always works when Unde the Enter key to record the information?

    Hello everyone,
    How do Oracle Express, a button that always works when Unde the Enter key to record the information
    and every time I write some information that the cursor is placed back into the Text Field item only on my screen
    order to optimize this process
    I appreciate your cooperation and attention ...
    good day ...
    Reynel Martinez Salazar

    Hi,
    First, you should change your text item to a "Text Field (Always submits page when Enter press)" item. This adds a call to the submitEnter() javascript function which will submit the page when you press Enter while in the text field.
    Second, on your page, edit the Page definition. In there is a setting called "Cursor Focus" - set this to "First Item on Page". When the page is loaded, this will put the cursor into the text field.

  • The Back arrow does not always work, particularly with Amazon and eBay sites.Even the on-page Back arrows do not work either.

    I am using version 15.0.1. Since I updated to this version, the Back arrow does NOT always work particularly with Amazon and eBay. This is particularly evident when I go from a list the result of a search to an item on the lis. I cannot get back to the list even using the On-page Back arrow. I usually have to repeat the search to get back to the list again.
