Interactive PDF presentation

Hello,
I have a problem. I needo to do a presentation in full screen in pdf format. I want to put it on a CD. It needs to autorun upon inserting the CD and automaticaly open in FULLSCREEN !!! How do i make it to skip the popup window asking if a viewer wants it in full screen? Is it possible ?

Thanks for your response.
For doing our designs we use InDesign.
So it would be less time consuming to use the same objects, fonts etc in the same software.
The linked data is updated automatically and we can work with the same formats. And InDesign makes it much easier to do a nice presentation
Is there maybe an option in Acrobat to view two documents on different screens?

  • How can I make the SWF page in my interactive PDF keep the page change on-click

    Hi there,
    I'm creating an interactive PDF presentation for a client, and I've spent some time learning how to animate the text for certain slides, export to SWF and place that SWF back in the InDesign file. I then export to an interactive PDF to display in full screen mode. The problem I'm having is that I can cycle forward through the PDF slides by clicking until I reach the SWF page, but then the hand cursor changes to an arrow and I can't move the presentation forward in full screen mode.
    I'm sure there's an easy fix, I just can't work it out. I'd be really grateful for any help.
    Many thanks
    Andrew

    Bob: it will be a PDF presentation fed from a laptop to a large display screen with about 50 slides (1920px x 1080px) to support a speaker (person). Most of the slides are static text or image slides, but where we want images to fade in/out we've created an SWF and dropped it into that page in InDesign.
    Trevor: Many thanks, just checked that and those settings are correct.
    Jeffrey: I just tried your advice but the problem remains.
    The strange thing is that if I press enter each time the slides (pages) move forward properly, but any touch on the mouse and the whole thing won't move... I'm going to look to see if I can drop in other video formats instead.

  • Export Interactive pdf

    Hi!
    I have a problem exporting an interactive pdf presention.
    I had to do that on a 1280x800 screen dimension.
    I created the presentation based on it, but when i'll export the presentation and I try to view on full screen mode I can't see it correctly.
    The first page appears ok, but from the second to the last the presentation appears bigger and not centered.
    Do you know why?
    thank you very much
    franz

    Are all pages the same size?
    If you use InDesign CS5 or above make really sure that ALL pages have your intended dimensions:
    Either click the (if you are a former InDesign-CS4-or-below-user, then it's the NEW) "Page"-tool in the tools palette, go through your pages and compare the values OR enable InDesign's preflight feature and configure a new preflight profile with "Pages differ in size or orientation" checked under the "DOCUMENT" tab.

  • Do interactive PDF's work

    Hi,
    i have been looking into interactive PDF's and all i seem to find is poor examples which do not really work well.  I am looking into ways to show content for a client, and wanted to see what was out there. 
    Does anyone have any good experiences with them,  or are they just something that never really took off.
    thanks for any of your help

    Not sure why that's happening - it's perfectly fine on my computer - and I haven't got the best computer in the world.
    3gb RAM - 2.2ghz processor (no hyperthreading)
    It may have to do with your version of Acrobat Pro or if you're using Acrobat Reader it might be slower depending on your version.
    I don't know if this blog post answers any of your queries?
    http://www.alexhogrefe.com/blog/2012/11/24/indesign-why-use-it.html
    But for your Interactive PDF presentations - I'd suggest also including a link to download the latest version of the Adobe Reader.
    It might take some experiment with InDesign and Interactive PDF and it may not do exactly what you want.
    But you won't know that until start the project.
    And then fire questions that way.

  • Interactive PDF stopped working after upgrade to Safari 7.1 (i.e. all Mavericks users), Suggestions?

    We have a set of interactive PDF forms that our users access via the web.  We have to use the PDF forms online because they are configured to pre-fill basic information that is acquired from our database/information system, which our users can only access via a web-based interface (i.e. no client).  Furthermore, when we save/submit any of these forms, the resulting FDF needs to also be tied to whatever record the user is working on (again, via the web-based interface).
    It appears that the Adobe plugin for Macintosh only works for Safari, and 90% of our users are on Macs... so for the last few years we have recommended Safari as the only browser that will work for any Mac user one who uses these forms.
    However the Adobe plugin doesn't appear to be working very well with the latest update of Safari (7.1).  We can open the forms online, and all the pre-filled data is present, and initially we are able to interact with our form and we can even save/submit.  However at some point we simply lose the ability to interact with any of the fields (i.e. after a few minutes of initial use, or if we attempt to edit after re-opening a saved form).  Strangely enough - we can still cut and copy text, and the save button still works - but that is about it... no typing or clicking radio buttons etc..
    And as Mac users are probably aware, the Safari 7.1 upgrade is tied to the Mavericks OS upgrade - and you can't really just go back to an older version!
    Questions:
    1) Can Adobe be made to work on a Mac with any browser other than Safari?
    2) Are there any other Mac users who use interactive PDF's in Safari 7.1?  And if so, are you having (or did you have) any issues and how did you fix them? 
    3) I have created all our interactive forms on Adobe Pro 9.0 (which I only use to maintain these forms).  Until now I have had no reason to upgrade... but could the older version of Pro be part of our problem?

  • How do I create a downloadable link from an Interactive PDF file created out of InDesign CS6?

    Hello,
    I created an Interactive PDF file out of InDesign and would like to make the large file a downloadable link and share it with the user in an email. I do not want to use DropBox or GoogleDrive.
    The company I contract for has their own site - do I insert the file into the site or can I create a separate link for it?
    I will be recreating these presentation PDF's constantly, so I would like to know if there is a simple way to create this link for files in the size of 7-12MB.
    Any ideas on downloadable links? I do have flash - but rarely use, perhaps load the file out of flash?
    Thank you so much for your help,
    Megan

    Hi Willie,
    Thanks for your help. Most likely contact the company who maintains the
    site then to share the file with them I'm assuming?

  • Extend SAP R/3 4.x with Interactive PDF Forms

    Hi there,
    In this blog of Matthias Zeller <a href="http:///people/matthias.zeller2/blog/2004/06/22/the-hidden-secret-of-adobe-reader hidden secret of Adobe Reader</a> there is the following paragraph:
    <i>While mySAP ERP 2004 provides many business scenarios using Interactive Forms out-of-the-box, a lot of customers have asked me how they can use the new Interactive Forms with existing R/3 applications. Therefore, I would like to encourage you to vote for my SAP TechEd presentation proposal ("Extend your SAP R/3 4.x applications with interactive PDF forms"). I plan to discuss how you can connect your existing SAP R/3 applications with SAP Web AS 6.40 to enable interactive form workflows.</i>
    Can somebody tell me if this presentation is somewhere on SDN? Or can somebody tell me where i can find more information about this subject?
    Thx in advance.
    Regards Maarten.

    Hi Maarten,
    Here's a brief run-down on how you could make use of SAP/Adobe Interactive Forms and Workflow:
    1) Remember that a form is really just a UI for collecting data.  A PDF form can be used to collect data online (connected to your SAP system) or offline, e.g. you could send it as a mail attachment, fill it in, and email it to a central point for uploading into the system. 
    2) The main requirements for using SAP Interactive Forms are:
    a) A NW04 (6.40) or NW04s (7.00) WebAs (Java Stack) to run Adobe Document Services. This is the critical component that assigns ReaderRights to the document, e.g. so that the user can change the data and save it on the document.   You could run a WebAs like this alongside your R/3 4.7 - e.g. if you have an XI system or Enterprise Portal you could use that system to run Adobe Document Services.  Every form you create must be generated via the Adobe Document Services to get the Reader Rights. Note: Get a NW04s environment if you can - as this release has usefuul new features such as loading attachments to the PDF, using digital signatures, etc.
    b) A WebDynpro application to generate the Adobe form via Adobe Document Services, and to execute the Adobe Form when using online mode, and to upload offline forms.  Tutorials on how to do this are available in SDN - have a look at the Adobe section within WebDynpro. Note: From ECC 5.0 there are some standard WebDynpros apps provided, but in R/3 4.7 you will need to write your own.
    c) There's also a licensing requirement for any production custom forms (SAP provided forms and cosmetic changes to those forms are free) so make sure you get your SAP account manager involved to help sort out how your intended usage will fit in with your current license agreement and any discounts that may apply.
    3) To use the "form" with workflow has some additional requirements:
    a) You need to store the data entered via the form somewhere that is accessible by Workflow.  The easiest approach here is to use the standard form handling technique Internet Service Requests.  Transaction QISRSCENARIO will let you define all of the form fields, give you BADIs for doing validation, raising workflow events, etc.  Also from ECC 5.0 onwards using Adobe forms as the form entry is a standard option for this technique, so this will help reduce the upgrade impact when you eventually do upgrade.
    b) Assuming you use ISRs, have your WebDynpro App call the function module ISR_PROCESS_EVENT to pass the data to R/3 and do the validation checks.
    c) Assuming you use ISRs, you use the BOR object for notification such as BUS2078, as your main object for the workflow.  The form data is attached to the notification and can be retrieved using function module ISR_SPECIAL_DATA_GET.
    d) If you want to call your WebDynpro App from SBWP (I take you don't have Enterprise Portal?) then use transaction WF_EXTSRV to define the web service to call your WebDynpro app and generate a workflow task for it.  Also you must configure transaction WF_HANDCUST to enable R/3 to handle web services.  Note: If you do have the Enterprise Portal, you can use transaction SWFVISU instead.
    I'd strongly recommend you read the ISR cookbook at http://service.sap.com/isr as well.   ISRs aren't the only way to use Adobe forms with R/3 but they are extremely handy if you want to use your Adobe form with Workflow.
    As for Lotus Notes, you can use your WebDynpro app to generate and send/receive a form to/from an email address.  You can also put a hyperlink in your workflow task to call your WebDynpro app and use RSWUWFML2 (swap to Enhanced Notifications when you upgrade) to send out a mail with the hyperlink attached as per usual.
    You'll also find some useful threads on Adobe forms and Workflow in the SDN BPM Forum.  So if you have workflow specific questions try raising them in the BPM forum.
    Enjoy!
    Regards,
    Jocelyn

  • Interactive PDF created in InDesign CS6 crashes Acrobat XI

    Just finished laying out an interactive document in InDesign and exporting to as an interactive PDF to Acrobat. The document is 48 pages and has 3 pop-up TOC's for each of the 3 sections. There are several other hyperlinks, top and bottom nav menus. The document opens fine but when we try to open either of the TOCs Acrobat either crashes or the menu will pop up with buttons not visible. I have gone through the document several times and rechecked all button settings. Everything appears in order. The document navigates perfectly in SWF preview and when exported as a SWF or HTML. Can't figure out where the glitch is. I'm in the Cloud so have the latest versions of all software. The project is on a very tight deadline and is part of a presentation in 2 days. Has anyone else had this issue? If so, how did you resolve it? Please help.

    Made each menu item a separate text frame and created text anchors/destinations. In buttons and forms panel, set event to go to destination "on release or tap" and chose "hidden until triggered." For each menu there's also a close button. Set "show/hide" for menu items and close button and set the main button that opens the menu to "show" the entire TOC. Each of the TOCs are on their own layers. Very straightforward, nothing fancy.

  • Embedded Video in Interactive PDF from Indesign (click to activate! grr!)

    Hi guys
    I am trying to put together an interactive PDF newsletter which has a video and a small slide show in it.
    I am pretty new to this interactive element of indesign.
    The video seems to have embedded fine (it is a FLV file), but when I view the PDF and hover over it I get a click to activate message.  While this is useful in telling the user to click on it, I would much rather it was nicely greyed out with the small play triangle in the middle and worked when the user clicked on that.
    I guess my issue is a presentational one mainly.  Does this make any sense to anyone?!
    Thanks

    The way the PDF plays in Acrobat or Reader (this is what you're using, right?) is nothing InDesign has any control over.
    So this really should be posted in the Acrobat forums. However, I don't believe there is any way you can modify this message, I'm afraid.

  • Buttons not working - InDesign (CS4) Interactive Pdf

    I've been creating an interactive pdf document for a client over the last few months.
    Initially, this was going to be a 70 page document, with limited interactivity (some forwards and back buttons etc.).
    Now, this has grown and is a 220 page document, with rollover buttons that reveal other buttons layered on top of each other, various menus to navigate back and forth through the document, masses of content, images, bookmarks etc! And, I'm experiencing problems with buttons/ links now working when the pdf is exported.
    Some of the buttons that don't work on exporting pdf, in the inDesign file appear to be set up in the correct way, I have even rebuilt some of them still with no luck on exporting them.
    Is the document now too big and too complex to work??
    If anyone at Adobe could give me some of their expert advice that would be much appreciated as myself and colleagues are now out of ideas!
    Many thanks!

    I've been having experiencing a similar problem after I chose to create a digital presentation with InDesign instead of PowerPoint.
    It's basically a showcase of products with several non-linear navigation buttons (for which I use buttons, bookmarks and the "Go to Destination" option).
    There are several videos, so I thought that the interactive PDF container would be the best choice for a single file, since this presentation is to be distributed to many sales representatives.
    Everything was fine until there were about 100 "pages" (slides). After this point, the "Go to Destination" buttons stopped working (although the mouse cursor indeed changes to a pointing hand). Only the "Go to next page" buttons do work, and I have already tried to export the PDF in several ways. I've been really thrilled by what kinds of restrictions does an interactive PDF have.
    Have you found any solutions to this matter? I think I have pushed this functionality over its limits...

  • InDesign exports to interactive PDF in spreads only

    I saw a suggestion in the comments section of the CS5 help file to start a discussion--so here we go...
    I've created a newsletter for print in spreads, but when I try to export to an interactive PDF, there is no option to turn off spreads. It would seem that Layout-->single page would get me what I want, but it still pops up firmly in readers spreads.
    This PDF is intended for the Web, and I need it to be single page for those who want to print it--it's a real devil to try to print a tabloid-size page onto letter-sized paper.
    Eugene Tyson recommended changing the document setup to turn off facing pages--but, as he said, that can present other problems.
    I saw that this would probably not be considered a bug--well, how about considering it a simple error? Please fix this, Adobe!

  • Interactive PDF Form Speed Issues

    Hello!  I am looking for some info for an interactive PDF form issue.
    A little info on the form:
    Created in Acrobat PRO 9.4.5, Windows.
    File Size: 559KB
    Ultimately the file is placed up on a website, it is 3 pages with a colored background on each page and a lineart logo.  It has text fields for things like name, phone etc., has some radio buttons, drop-downs, two links to other pages within the site and two links to other PDF docs.  It does not have a flowable layout and is only being populated by the end user.  The form has buttons on the bottom to email, print, save & clear the form.
    The form tested fine from our file servers and/or local machines, the client had no issues testing when we sent them the files.  We start to get into issues once the file was posted on their site and the results from testing vary significantly as I would suspect can be somewhat expected due to machine, browser, Acrobat and/or Reader variances etc. but maybe there is something we can do to improve how it functions(?)
    Some end-users have come back saying that the form takes a while until they can enter text in any of the fields following their first click in one of the form fields to begin using the form.  Also commented on was that the PDF pages scroll slowly as they move further down the page.  We do not have any details about any browser versions, settings etc. and also did not receive this feedback directly.
    Internal testing we have found some of the following accessing the form from their site (the site is a DNN site using a file handling module),
    I am going to try and limit the info below as it could get very lengthy w/ all the various outcomes:
    I did not have any issues on first click or scrolling in either IE8 or Firefox4, I do however have some slowness when I click the links that go to other pages on their site and also the links to the other PDF documents (I can only get this to occur when I am accessing the form through the link on their site it does not occur when I test any other way either locally from my desktop, our file server or even when I right click the file that resides on the web server and open w/ either of my browsers).
    A co-worker tested every which way and could not get any slowness at all any way that she tried.  Another tested and found IE on their machine to have the hangups but not Firefox.  And a third had the initial click slowness (but also said he had that when he saved the file from the site to his desktop and opened it), please note browser & Reader/Acrobat versions probably vary from each person testing.
    What I am feeling is that the form itself is ok just that the user variances can produce different outcomes but I just want to check and see if anyone else has had anything similar or has any suggestions to maybe "speed" the form up covering a variety of users.
    Thanks very much!
    Robin

    When you fix it in Acrobat, what you want to do specifically is remove whatever action is present in the button and add a "Submit a form" action to the Mouse Up event. Specify that you want to submit the entire PDF and use the mailto URL you showed earlier, making sure there are no spaces.
    For it to work in desktop versions of Reader prior to 11, you need to Reader-enabled the document by selecting: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools
    The button won't work with the native iOS PDF viewer, but certain other PDF viewers such as Adobe Reader and Readdle's PDF Expert allow you to email a filled-in form and will support the button action.

  • How do you create a non linear InDesign Interactive PDF modelled on having a 'home screen' from which you navigate?

    I am trying to create an interactive presentation for a seminar the institute I work for hosted. I want to have a 'home screen' in which you can get a digest of what happened and then the viewer can subsequently view any of the 6 presentations that happened at the event (six icons will be on the 'homescreen' as well). After they are done viewing, lets say presentation 1, they press a home button and return to the original screen to view the rest if they so wish. Is this possible as an interactive PDF? If not any suggestions on how I go about creating it? Thank you!

    You can do it with hyperlinks, link to: page then export to interactive pdf.

  • InDesign CS3 Interactive PDF print question

    I have created an InDesign document with interactive PDF elements, one of which is a layer with a button that covers the entire document size (11" x 8.5") and has a single page 11" x 8.5" PDF placed on the layer that is to be printed. This has been designated in the States palette / Button Options / General by selecting "Hidden but printable" in the "Visibility in PDF" dialog box. No Behaviours are added. This has worked beautifully.
    My problem is that now my client wants to add a second page that will also print, and I can't seem to accomplish this. I have tried several things:
    – adding a second page to the original PDF placed on the layer under the button -- the second page does not print.
    – on the same layer, under the button placing a second, separate PDF of the new page directly under the originally placed PDF -- the second page does not print
    – adding a second layer just below the first, set up exactly the same as the original one described above with a PDF of the new page I want to print -- the second page does not print.
    Is it possible to do what I want, and can anyone advise me? Thanks!

    Carol, I did change a few things in the attached PDF that are different from the instructions that I first posted. After I re-read your post, you said that the image that you want the user to print would cover the entire page. In that case, you wouldn't need to have the second action of hiding the print images applied to the buttons for roll off. Those images are hidden when you click on the print image, and then you go back to the original state.
    As for the sizes, the print images are the same size as the presentation portion of the PDF. The print images are hidden until a user would engage them. I have taken this approach one step further. In Acrobat, I have assigned an action for the button to bring up the image as well as engage the print dialog box. Then, once the printing is completed, the user returns to the original state of the presentation PDF, hiding the print image.
    I have created this type of presentation for the scenario of having a user view a PDF if it were a slideshow (reverse type on dark background), but allowing the user to print from the PDF a page better suited for a laser printer (black type on white background).

  • How to view an Interactive PDF on an iPad?

    My PDF uses three types of buttons: (1) buttons that go to next/previous or a desination page; (2) Buttons that show or hide other buttons – all of these are generated entirely from InDesign and, (3) Layer visibility buttons - which are created in InDesign, but the button Action is set in Acrobat. These buttons require Acrobat layers.
    I have seen recommendations for other PDF viewers – such as GoodReader – but GoodReader does not support layers. Is there a Viewer that does? Like Acrobat, but that works with iPads?!
    Or do I need to export to another format? Or re-create my document in another format? InDesign Folios do not support the buttons I am using; SWF files do not support layers... sigh.
    I don't need to send the PDF to other iPads, only view it. (The Document is an interactive company presentation - my boss goes to a lot of conferences and he wants to be able to present to clients from his iPad.)
    Anyone got any bright ideas?!

    Sadly, Adobe Reader doesn't support playing videos. You'll need to purchase a better PDF reader, notably PDF Expert from Readdle. US $9.99.
