Interactive PDF export problem?

When I tried to export this dialog box appears and it says;
"One or more interactive elements are clipped in ways the PDF files cannot reproduce.
Those elements will be adjust in the exported PDF."
I wonder how can I find these elements is there a debug system in inDesign and show to me which element those are? I want to find them and fix it. But I can't. Please help if you know how to find these elements?
Cheers,

you can use the system to export your document in halves until you find the problem.
Take a look for example the first post of Eugene Tyson here:

    What is it that you can not see in Reader: button behavior, rollover effect,
    hyperlink, etc. ?
    Wow, I am impressed about the fast reaction:-)
    The interactive function I am using (unfortunately in German inDesign) is
    "button" > Action: by letting go (?). It's a file with some 100 pages and
    some 500 links. Exported as pdf interactive...
    The effect In AcrobatPro: when clicking on the thumbnail the original
    picture shows in a separate window without closing the original file. After
    closing the new window, I could continue in the multipage file...
    This is not happening in Adobe Reader. It says: the link was not found, and
    here and then, when shown in e new window, the multipage file is closed...
    Hope this helps..
    Thanks Jaro
    PS
    I did reply on the forum directly, but no success. There trying via mail.
    Hope it works:-)

  • How can i change a video to a button in INDD? interactive PDF export issue

    in iNDD, I wish to have 2 videos on a page, overlayed, with two buttons that when each is clicked it shows the respective video and hides the other one, i have it working in epub3 using the interactive functionality, but in interactive PDF export, only one video is visible and the other wont hide when the other button is clicked!
    Can anyone help?

    Many Many thanks for the reply...
    Now I got it and I am working with that.
    Before I didnt get the option bcs, I copied the entire clips to new sequence. Now I did as follow,
    1. Created a new sequence with the ratio of 4:3.
    2. Right clicked on the sequence with 16:9 ratio and clicked on insert.
    3. Then selected the sequence in time line and changed the scaling in Effect Controls tab to 75%.
    Now my video changed to 4:3 aspect ratio with letterboxing.
    Once again Many many thanks to Dave Merchant and Harm Millaard for helping me to get in to this solution.

  • InDesign interactive pdf hyperlink problem

    Hi, I've set up an InDesign document to have Hyperlinks to other pages which is fine and separate pdf's where the problem lies. They're all in one folder, all a certain shortish length, not overly high in memory, numbering around 35 so far, will work fine for a while then want to connect to the internet with the Windows Internet Explorer warning box saying: Cannot find xxxx%5xxxx%20xxx%20... Make sure the path or Internet address is correct.
    I'm working from the company server on a PC in InDesign CS6 CC, exporting as an interactive pdf including hyperlinks. Any ideas please?
    Thank you, Emma

    Thanks Sumit but the Hyperlink list does not have %20 in, only when you hover over or get warning.

  • PDF export problem in Pages/Keynote/Preview

    I am having some problems with PDF exports (and "Print as PDF")  from Pages (as well as Keynote and Preview).  Here is my situation:
    I am creating a PDF of a barchart+legend from the program Mathematica.  I suspect the way the exported PDF is formatted is that the chart and legend are two blocks within the PDF.  This PDF opens perfectly in Preview and Adobe Reader, and imports perfectly into Pages and Keynote.  However, when the Pages/Keynote document is exported to PDF or printed to PDF, the resulting file opens fine in Preview but not in either the Mac or Windows version of Adobe Reader (part or all of the image fails to appear with a generic "An error exists on this page, please contact the author of this document to correct this problem" error message).  This also happens with the PDF is exported/printed as PDF from Preview itself - the resulting file opens fine in Preview but not with Acrobat.
    Any suggestions?  While I could reconstruct the barcharts individually in Pages itself, for the sorts of documents I'm working on I could easily have dozens of PDFs to import for a single project, and it's much easier to export the files from Mathematica as the analysis is done than rebuild each one from scratch.

    As far as I know, there is no provision for such settings in these programs.
    Developer documentation for ICC colour management in Firefox 2, Firefox 3 and Firefox 3.5, see below. Firefox 3 has ICC colour management disabled by default. Firefox 3.5 has ICC colour management for images within which there is embedded an ICC source colour space profile. It is possible to set Firefox to colour manage the application windows as well as images with embedded ICC profiles. The developer documentation discusses how to do this in what sounds suspiciously like a command line / terminal tool, and also how to point Firefox 3.5 to the display profile. This in turn sounds suspiciously like Firefox 3.5 is unable to talk to the system level service and ask for the display profile automatically.
    Camino and Opera ... I'll pass. I suspect it's more of the same mess.

  • SAP NetWeaver Portal Crystal Reports PDF Export Problem

    Hallo all,
    We are working with BO Edge XI 3.1 with integration on SAP Netweaver Portal. The problem is that integrated in SAP Portal CR reports cannot be exported to PDF or printed out.
    I am using an URL iview with the parameter sOutputFormat=P to run the report.
    When I want to print out the report I get the warning message from Internet Explorer "The download of files from this page is for security reasons blocked. Click here..." --> Download the file. By clicking on the u201CDownload this fileu201D the report starts to run again. PDF export doesnu2019t happen.
    Did somebody have the same problem?
    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Hello Ingo,
    thanks a lot for Your help. I have already talked to my IT department and they are looking for the solution of this problem, too.
    Is there a documentation  about necessary settings in the browser to work with SAP NetWeaver Portal and Crystal reports?
    The problem is that on some clients the PDF export is working and on another clients not. The settings of IE seem to be equal.

  • Three panel brochure pdf export problem

    I've created a three panel brochure, using the Pages 2 template. I need to share this with Windows people (who will handle the actual printing), so I exported it to pdf format. It looks OK (and Apple automatically embeds the fonts, nice!). However, the printed version is slightly different, such that the folds don't work correctly (images and words cross the folds).
    The pdf export prints perfectly from Preview, but not from Acrobat, which is what the Windows people have. Printing to pdf creates the same problem. Anybody know of a workaround to create the proper proportions for a pdf export? Thanks.

    Stephen- Based on some other discussions I read, I did try printing to pdf-x. Unfortunately, this did not solve the problem.
    Barabara- As it turned out, Adobe Acrobat was not printing at 100% in either Windows or OS X. In the Windows print command window, page scaling was defaulted to "reduce to printer margins." This meant the document was printing at 96%. By changing page scaling to "none," the document printed to 100%, fixing the problem.
    Likewise, in OS X, Adobe Acrobat's page scaling was also defaulted to "reduce to printer margins." This scaled the page to 93%, which caused the printing problem. By changing page scaling to "none" the document printed at 100%, fixing the problem. Thanks for the suggestion, which solved my problem.

  • InDesign CS5 interactive PDF export not functioning

    Hey guys, I have been starting to work with some interactive designs within InDesign CS5, mainly animations (menu fly out on mouse over, moving object on page load) . However each time I have exported my work as an interactive PDF, nothing functions, it all appears as static images. I have tried viewing in Acrobat XI, Adobe Reader, Safari.. all with the same result.
    I have used the preview function to review that animation is working properly before exporting and every works flawless, it just doesn't export any of this. I have tried editing a new PDF preset and exporting that way. I have tried both "Interactive" and "Interactive for PDF" modes as well, in case that matters. I have had absolutely no luck and hope someone can find something I must have missed? Thanks for the help on this!

    Animations are not supported natively in PDF files... Preview shows you just a Flash/SWF preview, not PDF preview.
    Only way to use animations in PDF files is to create Flash/SWF file which includes animation(s), place that SWF to InDesign and export Interactive PDF after that.
    And it´s just a work-around, not very good one IMO.... I don´t believe you can do animated menus with that technique....

  • Interactive PDF button problem

    I created an interactive pdf in InDesign CS5.5. I added buttons on pages to navigate throughout the pages of the pdf. The pdf worked beautifully until a someone tried to open the pdf in Acrobat 6.0; all of the type (fonts) on the buttons became jumbled, like the font was missing, however the fonts are embedded in the pdf.
    I need this pdf to work correctly in all versions of Acrobat and Acrobat Reader, as many clients will view the pdf and I have no control over what version they have of the application.
    I thought that I could solve this problem by simply creating outlines on the fonts. This did not fix the problem, it actually made it worse. When I made the new interactive pdf, after creating outlines on the buttons, the text on the buttons is no longer visible, it disappeared.
    Does anyone know any workarounds or fixes for this issue?

    You're saying that in recent versions of Acrobat, the buttons look and work correctly, right?
    And it's only when you try to open it in a version of Acrobat created in 2003, nine years ago, that you have a problem?
    I think you're setting unreasonable expectations. There's actually a more serious problem than that, and much more likely to happen: Many Mac users use Apple Preview to view PDFs. Interactivity largely fails when viewed in Preview.
    The answer, in my opinion, is to tell your readers that they should download the FREE Adobe Reader, or use a recent version (say Reader 8 and above), and if you're they are using a different reader that they may get unexpected results for viewing interactivity. And provide a link to download the FREE Adobe Reader.

  • StarOffice 8 (Update 9) PDF Export problems

    I am using StarOffice 8 prupdate 9. I have been trying to export in PDF but I notived the following problems:
    1) When an 'area' (eg a basic shape) is filled with a color that is the same as the outline color BUT at a transparency level (say 50%) PDF exports this filled area with the same color as the outline and NO transparency.
    2) When I use connectors or Bezier curves, the bounding box of the curve overwrites whatever lies behind it.
    On the screen, none of the above problems are visible, just when I export to PDF.
    Any suggestions?
    thanks ....
    Michael

    Had to back out the patch. As soon as I did that, the spreadsheets all came back to normal. I don't have a StarOffice support contract, so I can't alert Sun to the problem that way. Not sure if Sun people ever read this, is there a bugreport address I can send the info to?

  • PDF Exporting Problem

    Hello everyone,
    I hope not all of you are as frustrated as I am with Numbers 08'. I have problems with printing the entire document and can't seem to find the answer on the Numbers 08' forum, so I hope that would be addressed soon.
    For my more imminent problem with Numbers now is that, when I export my document to PDF, the headers were all cut out. But when I print to PDF, it turns out just fine. But printing to PDF does not allow me to print the entire document to PDF, so I have to do it sheet by sheet and save each sheet with a different file name. Well, I am pretty frustrated with that.
    Numbers is a very nice app, but I am quite surprised that simple and essential functions like priting the entire document and exporting are requiring so much effort from the users. This is not impressive at all.
    Help anyone?? Please Thank you.

    Using the side bar drag all the tables to the same sheet. Check print View and move the tables around to make sure the pages look right for printing. Delete any unused columns & rows.
    The printing, pdf export and page numbers (in the page footer) works on a per sheet basis.

  • PDF export - problems with displaying tables

    Hi,
    I have nice and neat rtf template with some text and big table. It looks fine, but when I export it to PDF it starts the table from new page, not just below the text, which results in 75% blank page. How can I fix it?

    We are using the PDF Export 8.3.7 version, and are having a similar problem. We have a Word file (.doc) with an embedded graphic. Inside the graphic is a table (the original graphic was created some where else and had text and a table, then an image was made of that which was then embedded as a graphic in the Word document). The problem is that the table does not render corretly - the last row of data is not displayed. Oddly, if in the resulting PDF/A output you highlight the region where the data should be displayed, and copy that to Word/Notepad, the data is there, the issue seems to be in rendering the data to make it visible in the rendered PDF/A output. We see other problems with tables in other files, for example some tables are rotated ninety degrees.
    Will there be a fix to PDFExport anytime soon?
    Thanks,
    Kevin

  • PDF export problem

    Pages 09 - Lion - MBP
    I used Pages to create a book of 180 pages with some images.
    All the images (jpg) inside the text are with the cool apple tools like shadows and so on.
    Everithing is perfect and nice. I exported to pdf and again everything seems to be perfect with preview.
    With my great surprise this pdf file (portable document format) is not the same if viewed in others PC or also other MAC without Pages!
    All the shadows and things like this are very bad or disappeared. That is really absurd! Is the PDF created with pages a NON standard PDF??
    After several attempts I find out a complicated workaround:
    pages --> export to postcript
    use acrobat distiller on a PC in order to transform the .ps file in a standard PDF . In this way everithing is perfect again but it seems to me really absurd and impossible that pages is not able to export in a pdf capable to work with all the "effects" that make pages so nice...
    Is there any easy way to use pages and export a real pdf file without problem with the rest of the world?
    Thank you for your help

    > I was saying that iWork is not delivered as a professional tool and so it's not logical to hope to get it professional results.
    The supported data structures in e-paper formats should capture (1) Unicode input and TrueType output settings for glyph runs, (2) ICC colourimetry input and ICC device profile output settings for colour worlds, and (3) W3 SGML/XML logical reading order for the output of the layout rendering order.
    In other words, you find an e-paper document in abstract archival space by its character information (modified by language markup), open the e-paper document in a browser (e.g. Apple Safari, Apple Preview), and image the e-paper document by its colourimetry information.
    There are any number of degrees of control over how the input of information and metainformation is mapped to image output, but if the input of information and metainformation is divorced from the image output, then the e-paper document is not accessible in abstract archival space.
    The aim of ISO and ECMA standards for e-paper is to ensure the best possible embedding of the memory-based mapping between information, metainformation and image, moving from the input-creating software through the e-paper format to the output-consuming software.
    Any and all applications in fact face the same sales situation: they are compelled to serve as channels for the same information and metainformation (in the encoding remits of the Unicode Consortium, the International Color Consortium, and the World Wide Web Consortium).
    While the Consortia willing allow that an application may internally choose an information encoding other than the interchange encoding, the Consortia disallow that information is lost. For instance, this is stated in Unicode Specification version 1.0 of October 1991.
    If as a user you work with system software in isolation from other software, nothing but the installed software is involved, then you can check if the system is conformant in the sense that it does not loose information, unless where loss of information is stated in documentation.
    This is nothing to do with how products are named in marketing, but with how conformance to information processing interchange for computerised telecommunications is understood in industry specifications and international standards.
