Interactive Syllabus question

If I create an interactive syllabus in InDesign, will my students need InDesign to use it?

If your students may be viewing it on an iPad or other mobile device, you may need to be careful of the kind of interactivity you're using. Some features (certain button actions, video, audio) are NOT supported in Adobe Reader. There are other mobile PDF apps which do, however.

Combining scored interactions and questions - navigation settings

I'm trying to get to grips with the way the Preferences > Quiz > Settings > Requried options work when my quiz combines both scored interactive objects and questions.
I'm currently using Cp4 but would be interested to know if Cp5 behaves the same.
Am I right in thinking that the effects of the different options are:
Optional
The learner can scrub back and forth with the playbar as much as they like without restrictions.
Required
The learner can scrub back and forth without restriction, but only up to the last slide with a scored interaction or question. To get further into the lesson they have to click any one of the previous scored interations, or submit a single question answer (wrong or right).
Pass Requried
I couldn't figure this out at all! I set a pass score, had a load of scored interactions and questions, but the learner could scrub right through the slides with scored interactions into later slides that weren't scored. Ah well, good job I'll be using the LMS to manage pass/fail
Edit: Oh, it looks like this only comes into play if I select 'show score at end of quiz' - you can only ontinue past the results page if you achieve the pass score.
Answer all
Learner can scrub to the end of any slide with a scored interaction or question, but to get to the next slide must either click the interaction or submit an answer (right or wrong). And if the next slide also has a scored object, repeat. Once they've 'unlocked' a slide they can scrub out and back into it in the same session.
Any observations on that?
Obviously learners won't be able to scrub back if backward movement/review is disallowed.
Incidentally, I did notice that the point Cp locks the slide seems on 'answer all' to have some very odd properties. If I removed the pause from the click box, or the learner clicks play at the pause, then it carries on into a kind of phantom frame - with no captions or slide background - but the click box still works, if you know where on the screen to aim for!
Does anyone know a way to modify that locking frame to provide some info for the learner on what they need to do to progress?
Thanks

Hi BrightonJon
For the back movement there is an additional field. "Allow Back Movement" (or close to that)
Required only mentions that you cannot skip until you have answered
Pass Required means that you have to answer it correct to continue
These are about single questions.
A locking frame often happens at strange places. I have it most often using advanced actions.

Interactive pictures question

If you look at the free iBook "Life on Earth" that's in the new textbook section of the bookstore, you will find that when you tap pictures or do a two finger spread, they enlarge to full screen mode. Is this some special widget that the publisher has or can you do this with iBooks Author's standard widgets? After a lot of searching on the internet, I discovered that you can get pictures to enlarge with a tap by selecting the picture and then in the Widget Inspector clicking the title selection under layout followed by clicking the Full screen only selection under Interactive. This essentially turns the selected picture into a one picture gallery to which you can add a caption if so desired. If you do this, the picture will enlarge to its full size when taped on your ipad. However, this does not do the two finger spread enlargement mentioned above. You can enlarge the image by spreading your fingers on the iPad screen, but as soon as you remove your fingers the picture pops back to it's original size on the page. In "Life on Earth" it will stay at its enlarged size when you remove your fingers.
And yes, I have looked at Publishing with iBooks Author, but have not been able to find anything about the question above.
Thanks for any insight.

As KT said, it is a gallery widget, and thats how they work (2 finger launchs full screen)
single image with caption and "full screen only" selected, a tap lauches full screen and the 2 finger spread justs inlarges the whole page/image untill let go and it snaps back. (I have Accessibility off)
if single image not set to "full screen only", the 2 finger spread launches full screen (just like the gallery widget)

Hi,
Sory, but I'm still not sure, how ADF comunicates with BPM (I know that it uses EJB services and hwtaskflow.xml). But a still don't have an answers for follwowing questions:
1) I know ADF quite good. Having method in data controls (in our case getTaskDetails()) we need to invoke it somehow. I don't see anywher invokation of this method.
2) In generated task flow there is some managed beans and params - what is role of them ? Having over 50 task flows , do I need it in all of them. Where can I find description of those beans and params
3) In our approach we use BPM , ADF RC for UI and Business Components to persist data into database. Only data from payload we need is ID of master-level row. My question is - do I have to generate data controls for all human task ?. In my my opinion it should be only one communication point between BPM and ADF but not the same for all pair human task --> task flow.
All infomation I need from BPM is:
- task ID
- task flow name (to open apriopriate tab in my application)
- available outcomes
- to know is BPM operation is enabled

Interactive swf question

hello forumers.
im exporting an swf file from indesign,and id like to know why indesign or the swf generates an empty blank left hand page.?
and when im making a pdf file,everything seems a bit buckled and pixelated although my images are 300dpi
thank you.

Hi
First - There is nothing stopping you continuing to use swf's with html5 as the object/embed code used is still valid and recognised by html5.
Second - You are probably asking this question due to the fact that the iPhone/iPad does not allow flash content. Unfortunately there is no way to get flash to play on these devices, (at the moment, but this could / probably will change). To use interactive graphics on these devices requires the use of the canvas element and javascript, but unfortunately the canvas element are not usable on current versions of IE, (IE9 does allow them).
There is a javascript fix that will allow the use of canvas on IE versions prior to IE9 but I cannot recommend its use due to its speed of rendering except for very simple animations, (and I do mean very simple).
The general opinion of most designers/developers appears to be that unless your target audience is the iPhone/iPad, then continue to use swf's for such items for the next few years at least, after all, the purchasers of the iPhone/iPad did buy these devices, (in most cases) knowing that they could not render flash.

Interactive Popup Questions when entering data

Hi
I created an interactive document for work where the processor has to enter a dollar amount in a text field. Is there a way to create the form so when the processor enters the amount, a question pops up to ask "Are you sure this is the correct amount? I am trying to find a way to have the user have to confirm the amount. I really apprecate your help if you have any suggestions.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Try67.
I was hoping I might be able to bug you with one more question. Another community memeber sent me thecode below that will actually put the dollar amount in the Pop Up Question which my boss prefers. The only problem is I have a reset button and when I click the reset button, t makes the Pop Up Question pop up again with a blank amount. When I use your code, I do not have the reset button problem.
It is odd because I tried to ask this person if there was a solution but when I click on View Original Discussion in the email from him, it states it was deleted. Here is his answer:
A good event for this is the Validate event of the text field. You can use the app.alert method to ask the question, and based on the response, either accept or reject the value. For example:
var sMsg = "You entered: " + event.value + "\r\rAre you sure this is the correct amount?";
var resp = app.alert({cMsg: sMsg, nIcon: 2, nType: 2, cTitle: "Verify amount"});
// Reject the entry if user doesn't select Yes
if (resp !== 4) event.rc = false;
Again, sorry to bug you but grateful if you have a solution.

GP and WD with Adobe Interactive form question - need some guidance.

Hello experts,
FYI, I'm running ECC 5.0 Support Stack 9, EP 7.0 SPS 11, NWDS 2.0.9_15 with Adobe Livecyle Designer.
I am slightly stuck with what I'm trying to do. I have created a web dynpro application that has an Adobe interactive form. I'm trying to use guided procedures to initiate a process so that this interactive form can be filled out and submitted to an approver. I need the relevant parties to receive a notification email. I have setup email templates and services, I just need to know how it will fit into the process. Once approved in the process, a BAPI should be invoked to populate some fields in the form. Should I be creating the Web Dynpro application to invoke the bapi or should a guided procedure callable object invoke the bapi? I know how to do these things, but I dont know which method I should use, in order to correctly have this process flow from point A - point B. Should the process appear in the Universal Worklist? If not, why not? Will it only appear in the GP runtime? I have pretty much read thru most of the tutorials but still cannot get this GP stuff to work as a WHOLE process.
Any guidance, suggestions, possible solutions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Kunal.

Hi,
It seems you have not activated the Composite Form object. Only after activation you will be able to use it to create a Callable Object of type composite form.
Hope this helps,

Interactive pdf-questions from InDesign 6

I have some issues making a interactive pdf in 6 - my client wants the following (witch I cant be able to figure out how to do, or even if it is possible):
- I have some trouble making spesial caracters in the final pdf (in this case ÆØÅ - I´m Norwegian) - how do I make these letters work?
- Can you somehow make the date-section so that it automaticly comes out the right "date"-way when people type there?
- Can you do the same with numbers: fields that represents a sum of money?
- Can you add the numbers of two or more fields automaticly together, making an automatic sum? In this case prices of carparts, and adding a 25% taxes and giving the final ammount all together (ExCell-style)
I´m using MacBook Pro 10.7.5, InDesign CS6.
Thank you for any comments....

InDesign can make basic PDF forms, but in your case it might be easier to take the PDF to Acrobat, and then add formats and formulas to the fields.
I think that you should use Acrobat to fine tune the exported PDF. See http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/creating-distributing-pdf-forms.html

Quick Interactive Report Question

I am testing Apex 4.1 on the oracle webisite
In order to use the download options of pdf or rtf on an interactive report, do we need BI Publisher.
I have tested the download email option and it seems to work, but with the subscription option, but I am not recieving an email.
Gus

Gus,
If you want the pdf/rtf in custom format then you need BI Publisher, if just downloading i dont think so.
Subscription:
Make sure you enable subscription under
Report Attributes->SearchBar->Subscription
then under Add Subscription make sure you fill in all the fields, i use this feature for almost all my applications, it sure does work.

Another Interactive Report Question

Hi guys!
Is it possible to create link which filters Interactive Report? I would like to create a report on one page which contains all the user saved interactive reports and then if another users clicks one, page changes to a page with an interactive report and the saved report opens?
With regards,
PsmakR

I'm referring to this help text in Advanced attributes - "If saved versions of the report exist, this specifies if they should be displayed as tabs. Turn tabs off if you want to create a separate page with a list of reports.". This is my goal - separate page with reports with on click page redicrection to saved report.
Im looking through help file and found this:
Report ID Item
This attribute enables you to send a user directly to a saved view of the report that they have saved. You specify an item whose value stores the report ID of the saved view. Report ID's can be retrieved from the APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_RPT view.
Has anyone played with this? Is it working?
Please help...
With regards,
PsmakR

Filtering interactive report question

hi all,
i created an interactive report that uses a query like this..
SELECT i.issue_id "ID",
i.title "TITLE",
i.module "MODULE",
u1.last_name || ', ' || u1.first_name || ' ' || SUBSTR(u1.middle_name,   1,   1) || '.' "OWNER",
u2.last_name || ', ' || u2.first_name || ' ' || SUBSTR(u2.middle_name,   1,   1) || '.' "REPORTED BY",
i.report_date "DATE REPORTED",
u3.last_name || ', ' || u3.first_name || ' ' || SUBSTR(u3.middle_name,   1,   1) || '.' "SUBMITTER"
FROM issues i,
users u1,
users u2,
users u3
WHERE 1 = 1
AND i.owner = u1.user_id
AND i.reported_by = u2.user_id
AND i.submitter = u3.user_idi created an application item called APP_USERID and added a process on the 101 page to select the userid into :APP_USERID from users_table where username = :app_user.
i want to create a default filter based on the current user's user_id. if i change my query like this
WHERE 1 = 1
AND i.owner = u1.user_id
AND i.reported_by = u2.user_id
AND i.submitter = u3.user_id
AND i.owner = :APP_USERIDit works fine but if i wanted to view all records not just owned by the current user, i will have a problem.
can anyone suggest an approach on how i can solve this.
thanks.
regards,
allen

Hi Allen,
I tried some different things in the Interactive reports (make a default with :ITEM or &ITEM.), but they didn't work.
The only why I can think of now how to get it work is by adding in your query a DECODE or NVL
WHERE 1 = 1
AND i.owner = u1.user_id
AND i.reported_by = u2.user_id
AND i.submitter = u3.user_id
AND i.owner = NVL(:APP_USERID,i.owner)
Basically what it does, if the value of :APP_USERID is set it will use that, if that value is null it will return all records. So you would have a process or computation that sets the item APP_USERID to null when you hit something to get all records.

Dimitri

Interactive Report question - report list question

Hi!
I was wondering if I turn off the option to show report as tabs is there a possibility to make another page with list of reports created by current logged in user with an option to click on the name of the report and the IR region shows the saved report?
With regards,
PsmakR

Hi Imran,
Basically we can have one basic list and 20 interactive lists.
Once when we reached to 20th list then it goes to shortdump.
So, inorder to avoid that we can modify the system field
SY-LSIND.
Just see this example and try this. I hope this will be useful for you.
REPORT ZSAMPLE1111.
data: begin of itab occurs 0,
        matnr like mara-matnr,
        mtart like mara-mtart,
        mbrsh like mara-mbrsh,
        end of itab.
data: begin of jtab occurs 0,
      maktx like makt-maktx,
      spras like makt-spras,
      end of jtab.
select matnr mtart mbrsh into table itab from mara up to 10 rows.
loop at itab.
write:/ itab-matnr, itab-mtart, itab-mbrsh.
hide itab-matnr.
endloop.
at line-selection.
select maktx spras into table jtab from makt where spras = 'EN' .
case sy-lsind.
when '1'.
loop at jtab.
write:/ jtab-maktx, jtab-spras.
endloop.
when '20'.             * changes see here.
sy-lsind = 1.
when others .
write:/ 'name',sy-lsind.
endcase.
I hope this will be helpful for you.

Interactive Reports - Question about Downloading PDF, CSV, Email, etc

I recently installed the latest version of APEX. I deployed it as an EAR on Oracle WebLogic. I then created a simple
interactive report that has the search bar above the report. The downloads (emailing, pdf, etc) do not work after I
run the report.
What setup\configuration is required to get the emailing and downloading of the other files to work?
fyi: right now I have Oracle WebLogic, Oracle 10g, and APEX running locally on a XP based laptop.
Thank you in advance,
Wes

Hello Wes,
Sending a report as an email requires an SMTP server. You need to configure your instance settings to point to the SMTP server.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/admin.40/e15521/adm_mg_service_set.htm#BEJBCEEH
To download a report as a pdf, excel or RTF... you need to have a reporting engine installed. Check this link for details...

Interactive Report question-New to Apex

Hi, I am new to Apex..I request your help in solving a prob..
I am trying to create an interactive report(IR) which has more than 160 columns..It says the max limit is 60(or 64) columns..I remember when I was just starting to build the app it did allow me to create the report with 160+ columns but I didnt want to start with IR..My entire application has been built and this is the only thing that has to be done..Is there anyway to create an IR with 160+ columns now that I am almost finishing up the app..
(just a thot-may be create another app with the IR and then import that page-if you think that will work plz guide me on how to do it)
Regards,
R

Hi R,
I had the same thought; if it's possible to create a new appl with IR with 160+ columns then do so.
After creating a new appl go back to the original appl, open one of the pages, click the copy button on top of the page, click 'Page in another application', select the new appl with the IR, then select the page with IR ...... follow the steps
Kind regards
Mel

INTERACTIVE PDF QUESTION - Scrollable Text Area

I am trying to do my resume in a interactive pdf and need more room than my page offers.
Is there a way to make a interactive pdf with a text box in place that has hidden text that can be scrolled up or down to read.
Basically make the text area look like a placed web page within the interactive pdf with scroll bars.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

If you want the scrollable text in the interactive pdf, and you are using indesign to create it do like this
Export to interactive pdf
Open the pdf in Adobe livecycle Designer and create textbox where you want and remove the Limit Text checkbox
Then Export it to the pdf
I think it will solve your porblem
