Interactive pdf using indesign CS5 (pop out graphic image)

Trying to figure out how to create a pop out image of a thumbnail.  Making a digital portfolio for a class project and I would like to have thumbnails of my work on each page of the interactive pdf.  When someone rolls over the thumbnail I would like for a larger version of it to appear.  I have found a tutorial on this however I ran into a stumbling block when the very first step showed him using "object styles".  In his menu was a style called popout graphic (or something similar) and that does not appear in my object styles menu.  I have been looking for this for about 45 minutes now, going through every little menu and clicking on every possible thing to see if I can locate it.  I'm really desperate at this point this project is due on Monday so I hope someone can save me.  Thank you!

Please post in the InDesign forum. This forum is for suite specific issues only.

  • Interactive pdf using Indesign CS5.5 problem with layering

    Hi all
    I have designed an interactive pdf - not for the web. I have a problem layering out a page. On the page there are 6 buttons. Each button when pressed will bring forward a box containing content/information. When I designed the page using indesign cs5.5 I made sure the largest box of information was at the top of the layer. I thought this would be the cleanest way to present the page. By having the largest content box (each of the six content boxes are different sizes) at the top it would cover the other boxes. When I exported the file out the smallest box was at the top, then the secondest etc. It looks pretty messy.
    Is there a way to ensure that the lagest content box is at the top when it exported to pdf????
    Regards

    Have patience!
    Have you tried putting that largest box on it's own layer at the top?  I don't know much about buttons etc though, if you wait someone will come on here that does.  A lot of contributors are in different time zones though.....

  • How Can I disable page scrolling when creating an interactive PDF using InDesign?

    I'm attempting to create an interactive PDF portfolio with links from the homepage to gallery pages and projects etc, but it seems useless if I can't stop the PDF pages from scrolling? Can anyone help?
    I have InDesign CS5.5 and Adobe Acrobat Pro.
    Thanks,
    Elizabeth

    scrolling through the pages
    There is nothing you can do to prevent a viewer from navigating on their own through a PDF. One method would be to have the PDF open in Full Screen mode, this hides the navigation tab. But a viewer can use their arrow keys to go page to page, ignoring the links within the PDF. And the viewer can hit the esc key to go back to normal view. Another option would be to use a swf export, indstead of pdf, but seriously depends on how you plan to distribute this portfolio.

  • Hyperlinks are not working in Interactive PDF in InDesign CS5

    Hi, I have a book that I previously in CS4 exported as interactive pdf, with Hyperlinks and buttons. Now in CS5 When I export it as Interactive PDF, the Hyperlinks don't function anymore (there are hyperlinks in the TOC to link to specific pages in the book) - if I export as Print PDf the hyperlinks funtion well, but the buttons no longer function (prev. Page, next page and so on)  Any suggestions?

    The process is as followed:
    Insert a 'Text box'
    Wrote Wesport in Text Box
    Highlighted the word Wesport, right clicked and selected the hyperlink option
    Selected the option to inset a website link
    Pasted the whole link and pressed ok
    The hyperlink then was shown in the document blue with an underline
    Then selected the Adobe Printer through the Print option
    The PDF was then created but hyperlinks did not work.
    Hope thats is enough detail let me know if you need any more.

  • Exporting a pdf in indesign CS5 interactive portfolio, the buttons dont work?

    interactive PDF using Indesign, Export problems
    im working on an interactive portfolio, its got 6 pages and four of them have buttons which scroll through alternative images which relate to that page. All very simple stuff. as far as im aware its all set up properly and in preview its working like a dream. As soon as i export > adobe pdf (interactive) > i tick buttons and media Include All  but when i open the finished pdf i wont let me use the buttons. they are acknowledged by the fact that when i hoover over them there is a tin black box that apears but the actual button its self wont work.
    if anyone knows how to export such a file so i can share with people as an interactive portfolio i would be most grateful. thanx

    Or, better than that, export the PDF from InDesign as PDF/X-4!
    By default, Acrobat and Reader use overprint preview when displaying PDF/X-4 files. Plus you have the benefit of full color management and not having transparency ruined by premature flattening.
    One other note. Other than for the fairly common practice of overprinting black text over colors to avoid halo effects due to registration, one should be exceptionally careful in using overprint. Trapping, the other good, justifiable use for overprint is really best performed by the RIP. Most modern RIPs provide for automatic trapping. Overprint should absolutely not be used as a “poor man's transparency,” especially in conjuction with spot colors. With the advent of real transparency in the Adobe imaging model and hence in Illustrator, InDesign, and PDF, there is no good reason to use overprint hacks anymore to simulate transparency.

  • Forms Warning with Interactive PDF from InDesign

    Hi all,
    I have created an interactive PDF in InDesign CS5 with a series of buttons, and those buttons link to bookmarked pages within the document. These buttons are setup on one of the Masters. It seems that whenever I get more than 10 buttons on the master, I get the following warning when I open the exported PDF in Adobe Reader:
    "Please Note: You cannot save a completed copy of this form on your computer. If you would like a copy for your records, Please fill it in and print it"
    I don't have any form fields in the document that I am aware of. Is there any way to locate form fields if they do in fact exist?
    Is there a limit of 10 buttons per master perhaps?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Glen

    Thanks Peter.
    Is there a known workaround? I ended up using hyperlinks instead, I suppose there really is more than one way to skin a cat.

  • Interactive PDF in InDesign - works in Preview, not in export

    Hello. I have a multi-state object set up. I've placed buttons over a central map on my page, with links to the proper multi-states in the object below. This works within the Preview Pane when I preview the interactivity. However, when i export non of the buttons bring up any multi-state.
    Any ideas? What is changing between using the Preview pane within InDesign, and publishing the interactive PDF?
    I'm using InDesign CS5.5 version 7.5.3

    I ended up creating a separate page for each State of the Multi-State object. A pain, yes, but it works, then you create the same illusion, but just have the buttons set to jump to a page and not a "state" within the same page. The MSO's are not that fancy that they should require Flash. I hope that Adobe works on this to make Interactive PDFs more robust in functionality, and in how we prep files. Creating a separate page for each "state" exponentially increases the document size.

  • Interactive pdf in indesign with hyperlinks warning

    create adverts that are interactive pdf in indesign with hyperlinks and mail to links and now we are assembling the document back together in the form of a book but on importing the pdf back into indesign we are getting the
    warning: “this file may contain newer extensions or information than this viewer can support. it may not open of display correctly and cannot be changed.”
    when the pdf imports the hyperlinks on the text work but the hyperlinks on the images are gone?
    Using version cs5 v7.0.4

    @Steve – I'm not so sure about that.
    At least the OP could experiment with Acrobat Pro's "Import as Layer" function.
    With "Import as Layer" you could import another PDF to a new layer.
    But I don't know if all the interactivity will stay in place and will be working.
    Did not test that yet.
    See the screen where I did layer two different PDFs together. A German version and an English version of the same document:
    "Import as Layer" is an option in the Layers at the sidebar of Acrobat Pro.
    As you can see there are some options for positioning with "Manual positioning".

  • Creating an interactive PDF using a placed FLV file...

    Is it possible to use text or graphics on top of a placed FLV when creating an interactive PDF from InDesign?
    (I have placed a FLV file into InDesign. Then I created an interactive PDF. The video plays within the PDF just fine.
    However, I would like to have a graphic or text appear over the FLV while the FLV is playing in the PDF. So far,
    the graphics and text disappear after making the interacative PDF).
    matt

    Ok guys Thanks. Appreciate the backup.
    As a temporary fix, I enlarged my document size to allow the FLV to come in
    with room underneath it. Then I placed my text under it (avoiding the FLV file).
    This allowed me to have copy underneath the video to at least simulate what
    is being said on screen while the video is moving.
    Thanks,
    matt

  • PDF of InDesign CS5.5 has text drift in a table

    In InDesign CS5.5 I have a large table (36 rows, 17 columns). The content is prices, right-aligned, two decimal places.
    When I export as a PDF, the numbers slowly shift, moving top to bottom, either to the left or right (this happens on many (but not all) different pages), for 20-25 rows, at which point the positioning is corrected. Total deviation from row 1 until the correction varies, from 0.0067 inches to 0.0109 inches.
    This happens only when exporting a PDF from InDesign (CS5.5). If I print from the .indd the problem is not there. If I print a .ps and use Distiller, the resulting PDF is fine.
    All cells have the same settings as far as padding, tabs, type size.
    I'll post this in the InDesign forums as well.

    Steve, I don't seem to be able to move this back -- missing some privileges I think. This was a cross-post -- already in the ID forum -- and he was hoping maybe someone in Acrobat had more ideas. Can you move it back again?

  • Why does black turn grey when creating a pdf from InDesign CS5??

    Why do blacks turn to grey when I create/export a pdf from InDesign CS5?

    Unfortunately, things like this are rarely glitchy little programming errors but deep, by-design, problems with using colour management. Usually you are getting exactly what you asked for, just not what you want, and the more colour management options there are, the more likely this is.
    There are many possible causes, but one of the easiest to do is and hardest to spot is applying a CMYK profile in InDesign export, and a different one through Photoshop settings. This is actually demanding that colours be converted for the worst! Since your print workflow will be different, a work-around of rich black is likely to make things worse.
    So the first thing to check is whether the colours you indended made it to the PDF, indeed. Output Preview is the first tool to use (as well as inspecting plates, you can hover over points to check the colour mix).
    Also, go to your PDF export under the "Output" tab which includes colour and PDF/X. Either send a screen shot, or read off all of the the settings there.

    Making a interactive PDF from indesign, but it's too big. Tried to reduce file size in Acrobat, but it does not reduce file size.

    Use the Optimize PDF command in Acrobat, it gives you more control. I think it's under the Advanced menu in Acrobat 9 Pro and File > Save As > Optimized PDF in Acrobat X Pro.
    You might try playing around with different settings. You can also click the Audit Space button at the upper right to see if its from images or other things causing the file size problem.
    Unfortunately, InDesign doesn't write interactivity in a very optimized way. You get better results with buttons, for example, creating them in Acrobat Pro and using the Duplicate command to duplicate them across multiple pages.

  • Interactive PDF in InDesign

    I create an interactive PDF in Indesign and when I export it as an Interactive PDF some of the text is missing in the PDF file. I changed the font to something universal like Times to see if it was a font issue, but the font still does not appear in the exported PDF. 
    How do I fix this problem?
    Thanks,
    ~V

    I am having one of the issues mentioned. I have made two buttons. On mouse down they should open PDFs. When I export to PDF I make sure that I have 'Interactive Elements' ticked and Multimedia set to 'Embed All'. I would assume this should embed the two PDFs that are connected to the two buttons but it does not.
    How do I embed the PDFs in the final PDF? I am using CS2.
    Cheers.

  • Exporting PDF problem indesign CS5

    Hello,
    I'm trying to export a 72 pages document to pdf in indesign CS5 but during the exporting proces the pdf file disappeares. Who knows a solution to this problem. Thanks in advance for helping me.
    with creative greets,
    Robert Bastiaenen

    what I did was saving the indd file. After that I wanted to export the HR-pdf document so I started the export and after 15 minutes teh file disappeares when it wasn't finished with saving. When i tried to save it as the smallest file size possible there was no problem and the file was exported correctly. So I allready found out that the problem can be found in de export to HD_PDF.

    I am using Indesign cs5 version 7.0.4 with a mac OS X version 10.9.4. I am having an issue where the save and save as option disappears. I am exporting the file as .idml and then resaving to avoid losing work but has to import all the images which takes ages. Any help out there?

    I believe there are a couple of similar threads about CC or CC2014 behaving this way that might give yo some hints, but CS5 is not supported on your OS and may not run properly regardless of what you do. An in-place OS upgrade or an attempt to migrate the application would both be major problems for ID, so if you did either of those things you'll want to uninstall, run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3) and reinstall.
