Interactive PDF Layer Visibility Buttons Not Working On iPad

I've created a document in Indesign CS6 and exported the layers to pdf. I created a button in acrobat pro to change a layers visibility. The pdf is intended to be viewed on an iPad and the button wont work. It does however work perfectly on my desktop. Does anybody have a work around?

There is little to none support for scripts and other advanced features of PDF files on iOS devices, unfortunately.

Interactive PDF show/hide button not working properly

I could use some help. I'm creating an interactive pdf using show hide buttons. A button is set to hidden and a second button controls it's visible on mouse enter and mouse exit. Sometimes these buttons which are set to visible turn to invisible in the general/form field propery window and stop working. I've tried replacing the buttons with new ones, but this hasn't helped. Is this a bug or do you think the document is corrupt. This is a large prototype file which has to be shown to a client and rebuilding it is not a welcome thought.
Is there a way to program this using java to create this function? (I'm a Java novice.)
Thanks

HI PAUL, WE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. SO, IF YOUR USING INDESIGN CS2 OR 3 WE HAVE FOUND THAT BY MAKING A NEW BUTTON WITH ALL THE ACTIONS YOU WANT IN A NEW DOCUMENT ON THE MASTER PAGE AND THEN COPYING AND PASTING THE NEW BUTTON INTO YOUR ORIGINAL FILE ONTO THE PAGE MASTER THIS USUALLY SOLVES THE PROBLEM.

Interactive PDF Form Submit Button Not Working

Hi there,
I created an Interactive PDF in InDesign with a form included in the document. When I export as an interactive PDF my Adobe Reader will allow me to fill out the form no problem, however, when I click submit to connect the form to my email, it says "operation not permitted". Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

Reader prior to version 11 cannot save the document unless it is Reader-enabled, which you can do with Acrobat. Exactly how depends on which version you're using. In Acrobat 11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools

Home button not working on iPad 2 after iOS5.1.1

I got iPad 2 updated with ions 5.1.1
It worked fine for a week and now the home button does not work. I followed all posts here to reset, restore etc. but nothing helps. This is already a replacement iPad I got for my previous non functional iPad 2 which had battery issues, which apple swapped in store last week.
Any advice ?

Update -
Called apple support and did not get steps to try and was asked to visit apple store. Went to apple store and since the problem is intermittent they did nothing.
Now the problem is back.
Also, I notice there are lot of Low memory diagnostics logs which I thik may be leading to home button not working BUT that iOS should handle as part of memory management. I restarted iPad 2 and still memory issue/ home button not working which seems weird
I am really disappointed and not sure how to get this addressed.
Apple, please help!

Interactive Reports Action Menu buttons not working

We are running Apex 4.02 and using theme 11 (round green). We recently upgraded to IE 10 (on windows server 2008 R2) and are now experiencing issues with all interactive reports within Apex. The Action menu is displayed correctly and the options are available but the buttons to apply the changes do not seem to respond.
For example, I can press the Action button then select Format->Sort from the actions menu. The sort by options are displayed but nothing happens when I press the Cancel or Apply buttons. There is no error - it looks like the button press is not executing the code.
I have searched for issues specifically related to Apex but have only been able to find references to general problems with IE 10 and Ajax calls. I'm not sure whether IRs are using Ajax as part of it's core functionality and whether this is the behaviour we are seeing.
I'm keen to understand whether others have encountered this problem and resolved the issue somehow. Any help would be very much appreciated.

I would have set this up somewhat differently. I'd have all of your buttons set to pause the slide in exactly the same spot about 1.5 seconds into the slide. To set the variable for completion of a section I would have used a standard or conditional action that was executed by the button that brings the learner back to the menu slide. This action would set the variable and then jump back to the menu slide using the button's On Success action. You need one of these actions per separate section in your project.
As to why some of your buttons are not working at all...
1. They may not be set up correctly. Check all settings again.
2. The buttons may be corrupted. Delete the ones that don't work and insert new ones. Avoid copying and pasting.
As luck would have it, I've just completed an e-book Guide to Adobe Captivate Advanced Actions that has an entire series of practice exercises that take you step by step through creating exactly the menu slide setup that you describe. If this project is important enough to you, it may be worth your while to consider purchasing that e-book:

Something had obiously gone funny in the folder!

Submit button not working on ipad

We have an interactive form and a submit button where it posts the copy of the PDf file to the server(URL). It works fine on Desktop; however when I open the file on iPad, and click on the buttons, they do not trigger any event(it does not work).
Is it a known issue? Any workaround for this?

Submit form actions don't work with Reader for iOS unless the form was enabled for use with Adobe's FormsCentral service. Other PDF viewers for iOS support the submit form action or the submitForm JavaScript method.

Buttons not working on iPad

Hi there. I have created a PDF document with buttons in it (with Icons, duplicated across various pages, to page views). The buttons work perfectly on laptop and desktop however do not work at all on iPad using Acrobat Reader. Please help?

Adobe Reader for iOS doesn't support all features.

Regular button not working on iPad or Android.

Hi,
Been reading for forums for a few months on and off and really am stick with this one. I have JS put on a regular button that works fine on a PC or laptop and send the email with the subject of a field completely fine, my issue is when we go of site with our iPhones/iPads/Android devices. We have a combo of easyPDF and PDFexpert on the devices and they all load the document fine but when it comes to the email button it does nothing! Has anyone come across this at all, and if so how did you fix it?
I have made the document static at the moment as well as reader enabled.
Regards

Hi,
You are not going to have much joy with XFA Forms on iOS or Android devices. See discussion here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3991098#3991098#3991098.
Certainly you will have more sucess with a Static PDF Form, however the extent to which functionality will be limited will depend on what the user has on the iPad.
Overall I think PDF Expert for iPad is the best. Adobe does have a free Reader for iOS, but sadly not all features are supported.
In any case I would stick with JavaScript and not use FormCalc at all for scripting requirements. FormCalc is an Adobe language for XFA Forms and may not be supported on an iOS device.
Good luck,
Niall

If the iPad is out of warranty, they will offer a replacement at a cost which starts at $249.00 in the U.S.
My iPad is not eligible for warranty service. What are my service options?
Apple offers two service options for iPads that are not eligible for warranty service.
Battery Replacement Service
If your iPad requires service only because the battery's ability to hold an electrical charge has diminished, please refer to the Battery Replacement Service information.
Out-of-Warranty Service
If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.

Navigation buttons not working in iPad Adobe Content Viewer

I am reposting this as a separate discussion from this thread (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5551618#5551618), since Bob B. said this is a separate bug from the nav button problems in Single Edition apps that people were encountering.
Here is my problem:
I have several folios that are a presentation of work (a slideshow per page, on most pages). Navigation buttons are needed since vertical swiping doesn't work on the pages where my images are full-width.
Five times in the past week, the buttons have quit working (tapping a button jumps you back to the first page of the folio, instead of to Next or Prev). The only way to get them working again is to delete Content Viewer and all the content off the iPad, reinstall Content Viewer, and download the folios again. So far, I can use the folio maybe once or twice, and then the problem happens again.
As you can imagine, this is very frustrating.
It would be great if someone can look into this, since it does not seem to be a freak occurrence - it happens to me all the time since I got the latest version of Content Viewer.
Thank you,
Camille

A tester was finally able to reproduce this bug. I'll let you know when I find more information. Thanks for reporting it.

Edit button not working on ipad

I just downloaded the adobe reader app and the edit button doesn't give me options to organize, etc. Any suggestions?

How it works for me:
Select the Documents list, then click Edit, and there will be five organizing tools (add folder, duplicate, etc.)
If that doesn't work, try force-quitting your application. Click the Home button to return to the Home screen. Double-click the Home button to go the row of recent apps at the bottom of the screen. Click and hold down the Adobe Reader icon and the red "delete" icon appears. Click the delete icon and Reader is removed from the list. Return to the Home button and relaunch Reader.
