Interactive PDF - Buttons stop working when emailed

Hi there,
I have made an interactive PDF using InDesign CC.
I've checked in preview and once saved and all the buttons work and take me to the correct URL.
Once I email the PDF the buttons do not work, in fact they don't not even come up in the email. Please help!

The images that I have made in to buttons are not there once emailed.
I am aiming to send out a company newsletter and the buttons are for social media.
So I want to embed the PDF in to an email, and when you click on the Facebook, twitter etc icons I want it to take you to the correct social media pages.
I have set up the buttons correctly in InDesign as they work when I view the PDF, but once its emailed ( I sent it to myself as a test) the buttons are not there

  • Hyperlinks in PDF doc stop working when emailed out in Mac Mail. Why?

    I have created a Pages document with hyperlinks and then saved it as a PDF.
    The PDF document retains the hyperlinks (they still work).
    When I attach the PDF to Mail and email it out the hyperlinks stop working unless I double click on the PDF document (which "opens it").
    Why? Help please as I want the hyperlinks to work when the email is received - ie. without double clicking on it. Thanks.

    First off, Word should show you the version on a splash screen when you launch it.
    Also, what happens to the links if you just open the document in Word and save it as a PDF?

  • Pdf buttons not working when pdf loads in browser

    hi
    I have a pdf with buttons which work fine. Once pdf is put on our website and you click on it, it opens in firefox ok but none of the buttons work.
    Safari, chrome - work

    The road to hell is paved with good intentions... FF wanted to provide their users an easy-to-use, built-in PDF viewer, which is good. Problem is that developing a fully compatible PDF viewer is a very complex task that requires a lot of time and effort, so they decided (it seems) to settle for something that's "good enough". So now users are stuck with something that usually does an OK job when it comes to just displaying a simple PDF file, but as soon as you have a more complex file (for example, one with form fields) it breaks down entirely and either fails to load the file at all, or does so incorrectly, and the developers are left sorting out the mess...

  • 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.

    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.

  • Button stops working when load a mc inside.

    Hi if I load a movieclip within a _mc it stops working as a
    button.
    I use
    mcLoader.loadClip (File, Sprite);
    and then:
    mc.play();
    Anyone can help me?

    I have the same problem on ipad and iphone.  The bug was only introduced in iOS 8 and 8.1.2 hasn't fixed it.
    I play music on shuffle when commuting and when it hits a video I have to try and get the ipad out of my bag or switch to my phone which is a major pain on a crowded train.
    I thought it was bluetooth only but it's the same on 3 different devices.  Apple support suggested resetting all my settings.  Er, no thanks.  Tried forgetting and re-selecting devices but no good.  Apple support reported this to their technical support 5 weeks ago but nothing since then, so completely useless.
    Only way around is to create playlists without videos, or delete all of them.

  • AV button stopped working when updates to windows 7 loaded

    I have two HP touchsmart 600s. I use one to toggle to HTMI and then watch ATT uverse. When we downloaded the most recent window 7 fixes, the AV button on my remote stopped working. Is there a fix for this? I can no longer watch tv on my second TouchSmart.

    Hello ericabs,
    Which Touchsmart model do you have. There are many that fall in the 600 series.
    You have two options. You can uninstall / reinstall the drivers that are for the remote to see if that helps or we may have to roll back your system to before you did the updates to try to identify which update is causing the problem with the remotes.

  • Why does my toolbar firefox button stop working when i upgrade?

    I upgrade to version 22.0 and my toolbar Firefox button no longer starts the browser.
    This also happens after microsoft upgrades some new security upgrade.
    I do believe microsoft is trying to sequester your browser usage..

    Please update to Firefox 22, then Reset Firefox [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]

    It is so frastrating becasue I always need to open and edit multiple PDF file at the same time.
    I really hope I can get some helps.
    Thank you, Stacy.

  • ALWAYS unresponive to my iphone. Just stops working when I plug it in. downloaded older version, newer version.....use my iphone for my pdf book in college.....this is just ridiculous....

    ALways love my iphone. Now itunes is ALWAYS unresponive to my iphone. Just stops working when I plug it in. downloaded older version, newer version.....use my iphone for my pdf book in college.....this is just ridiculous....

    Downloaded older version and newer version of what. Any attempts to downgrade iOS are not allowed. Also, using iTunes with the latest iOS and iTunes requires the latest version.
    I suggest that you remove and reinstall iTunes using this support document. You need to follow the steps exactly or you will just create more problems, which I think you already have. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923

  • HT4864 My outgoing email as stopped working when using Outlook for mac 2011. Any suggestions?

    My outgoing email as stopped working when using Outlook for mac 2011. I have deleted and reinstalled the account twice. I have 11 gig free on my iCloud account. The outgoing server is set at smtp.mail.me.com using port 587. If I was able to reinstall the account, I am positive I have the correct password. I can log into my iCloud accout using the same credentials.
    Any suggestions?

    I called Microsoft to fix my problem...for those maybe having the same issue, I was told by the Tech to use this outgoing server setting - p06-smtp.mail.me.com
    All is working fine since doing so.

  • Why does my Adobe Reader DC stop working when I click scroll down options?

    I used to use PDF Suite 2014 Standard to view pdf files.
    However, tonight a message appeared when I attempted to open files saying ..."if the document does not load then the pdf viewer may not be able to display this type of document"
    I went to the website provided to download Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
    Although I was able to load pdf documents and fill in forms, the program repeatedly would crash whenever I attempted to click on scroll down options on forms.
    Any help is appreciated
    ....and talk/write slowly for I am not super computer literate.
    Regards,
    Luisa

     Dear Aedesh, Thank you for your assistance.  I did all that you instructed below, regarding uninstalling, and using the Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool.  I restarted my computer, then installed Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (for Windows 7, English and version: Reader DC 2015). I continue to have the problems: (1) When I attempt to use a scroll down option within a pdf form, the program stops working. (2) If I send the pdf to my iPhone, and I open the pdf, I receive the message "Please wait...if the message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your pdf viewer may not be able to display this type of document..." However, when I send pdf's created earlier than 4-28-15, I am able to open in my iPhone.I am able to open on my laptop the pdf's created after 4-28-15, but have the scroll option issue  (thank you in advance for your patience)Luisa
