Interactive zoom function within Indesign??

Hi all
I have built an interactive document which has images and text on. Within the document there is a section of text (in a small box) which is to be read if nessacery by the client. If the client wishes to read it there going to need a 'ZOOM' feature applied so its readable.
I have applied the button command ('VIEW ZOOM') to my small text within a box but nothing happens.
Can i within Indesign apply a command so the text enlarges when clicked??
Thanks all
AndyP

I have found a work around;
>object state
>resize the second state
>create button making sure the correct state is selected
JOB DONE, my text now enlarges once clicking the button i created

Can swipe and pinch to zoom functionality be used in creating an interactive pdf through indesign?

A client is telling me that there is a way to add these functionalities to an existing indesign file but I cannot figure out how. They would like to have the exact same features that an iBook has, but on a standalone pdf. Is this possible through indesign, or do I need a 3rd party software? I did manage to speak to a company that does this, and all they told me was that they take the indesign file, which is a horizontal layout of a book, and add the swipe and zoom functionality that exactly mimics those of ibooks.

Not in PDF. That sounds like DPS.

How do I add a zoom function to a digital magazine (.swf file) in InDesign CS6?

Hi,
Im creating an interactive digital magazine for our company which will go on the iPad, but also online for computers.
The iPad (.folio) has zoom functions, but on screen (.swf) the magazine is very static and peaple can't zoom and scroll (the zooming buttons function in InDesign doesn't work here).
So, how do I add a zoom function to a digital magazine (.swf file) in InDesign CS6?
(I read older posts regarding this problem in CS5... It's not possible for me to purchase an additional product for that. I have Flash, if there is a tutorial on how to do it, that'd be helpful too)
Thanks for your help!
Best regards!

Although the help implies this should work, and I've seen it written in a book to do things this way, it's not how I do things:
var content_req1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("text/hales.txt");
var content_ldr:URLLoader = new URLLoader(content_req1);
content_ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete1);
Instead, try:
var content_req1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("text/hales.txt");
var content_ldr:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
content_ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete1);
content_ldr1.load(content_req1);

When Firefox is open the zoom function (option/command/space bar) does not work in Adobe programs (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator)

Mac OS X 10.6.7
CS 5.5
When Firefox is open the zoom function (option/command/space bar) does not work in Adobe programs (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator). This happens only when Firefox is open and when I close it the zoom functions work fine again without having to restart the applications.
This is intermittent but happens quite frequently each day if Firefox is active.

MDN doesn't mention -chrome being used for ordinary web pages: https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Mozilla/Command_Line_Options#Chrome
When I use
firefox.exe -chrome about:permissions
I get a usable window, but zoom doesn't work as you noted.
How about using an intermediate page and window.open() for the target page? You can (mostly) restrict the chrome of windows opened that way, but it will leave behind the intermediate window...

DPS: pinch and zoom function not working on all pages within folio (v30 tools using the pdf setting). What would cause some pages to pinch and zoom fluidly, while other pages appear a bit sticky? Could it be a button on the wrong layer?

What would cause some pages in the same folio to pinch and zoom fluidly, while other pages appear a bit sticky? Could it be a button on the wrong layer that's not allowing the pinch and zoom to work?
I do have a "go to state" button that enlarges graphic to full page on the page. Could this be cancelling the pinch and zoom functionality? Would a box with text wrap ON affect the ability to pich and zoom? What else may be causing this?

Coding interactive print button in Indesign

we create pdf brochures from Indesign. A number of buttons appear on every page which have been coded in Indesign, coded using the 'interactive button options' function. We have a print button on every page and there is no option to code this within Indesign and is becoming a tedious chore to code in the final pdf every time we make a brochure. I have experimented with some js in Indesign but can't get anything to work.
can anyone offer a solution please.

thanks, I went to the thread and used the script, changing email to print. I get an error though.

Disable zoom function in app

We are currently working on an Adobe DPS app, in which we use InDesign files with Edge Animate animations.
We seem to have all bases covered, but we are struggling to disable the zoom functionality on Edge Animate items. We know how to disable the zoom functionality when applied to browsers, but we need it disabled inside an app and it does not seem to do that.
Any help?

Hi Gary,
Can you please share more details about the issue?
Is the complete animation is scaled or you want to zoom in/out any element within edge animation?
Regards,
Devendra

How do I create an interactive PDF file in InDesign CS6 with Folio Overlays?

I have been trying to export an interactive PDF file using InDesign CS6. It exports fine, and all the content works except for the Folio Overlays I created. I created two Folio Overlays (one Pan & Zoom and one Scrollable Frame). The overlays work if I preview them from the Folio Overlays panel, but they do not work on the PDF document.
I am using File >> Export... to create the PDF document, and I am sure the PDF document is of the interactive type and not the print type. Am I exporting it incorrectly? Is there a specific step that I have missed somewhere? Do I need to create a Folio Build to make the Folio Overlays work?
When I mouse over the Folio Overlays, I get the crosshair cursor which only selects part of the image when I click and drag it.

PDF is one thing. Folios for DPS is another. There is a little bit of
overlap but not much.
The interactivity in the folio overlays panel is for DPS only.

Interactive PDF file using InDesign CS5

I've created an interactive portfolio within InDesign. Within the InDesign layout I've created a button "Testimonial" when the user clicks it reveals a reference letter. (The reference letter is also a button.) Then the viewer needs to click on a "close" button on the reference letter to go back to the portfolio view.
It's set up and when I view it within InDesign using the Preview area. It works.
When I export as a Interactive PDF and view in Acrobat. The "close" button is not there. So I'm unable to return to the portfolio view.
Any suggestions?

Thank you... what was wrong. Didn't I do everything correct and have the close button on top in the stacking order... was this a software bug?
I'm not sure what that other poster was doing. Duplexing won't exist until the drivers get 64 bit clean. I've been there and done that.

Set exported resolution for each image within InDesign

I'm generating a document in InDesign destined only for the screen (as a PDF) and I'm wondering whether in CS6 the user can set the exported resolution separately for each image. i.e click on a image and set the resolution for that image. Reason: to allow end-viewers to zoom in on certain images and retain quality.
And while I'm on the subject of changing resolution, a few years ago someone wrote a script for me (in response to a post), that when you clicked on an image within InDesign, resampled the original to 300 dpi, saved it, and made the necessary adjustments in InDesign so the image stayed the same size.
Can CS6 do that? Or do I need to dig up the old script?

> ... destined only for the screen (as a PDF) ...
The developers of PDF will thank you for that statement!

Create Interactive Zoom and Pan (in out, left, right)

Hello Flash Forum,
I have been checking the forum for ideas and suggestions on
how to implement an interactive zoom and pan on an image. I would
like the user to be able to drag a "magnifing glass" over an image,
and then zoom in (or out) on the area in the magnifing glass, using
the mouse wheel. How might I go about creating this effect? Or, the
easier way, steal someone's code who has implemented this kind of
functionality.
Thanks

I am sorry but I do not understand.
I am not a programer .I have not idea about SDK, how it works neither how to install it.

Since Mavericks, the scroll-with-modifier-key-to-zoom functionality often fails, and I have to deselect it and reselect it in the accessibility pref-pane to get it working again.

Take it to your local Apple Store or AASP, it's covered by a 1 year hardware warranty. If you have AppleCare then give them a call but I'm pretty sure they will advise the same. If you have not purchased AppleCare yet please do, this will extend the warranty to 3 years however it MUST be purchased within the first year of ownership. Let it go 366 days and you are out of luck. AppleCare will also include telephone support too.
Good luck.

Lost the Trackball Camera Zoom Function

Hole everyone,
I recently did an upgrade on to my phone, which caused the Lost of the Trackball Camera Zoom Function. I was wondering how do I get it back??
I have to manually zoom similar to how my old bb used to do by goin back n forth in the menu to click zoom in / zoom out. It was so much easier when the scroll bar was there and all you have to do is scroll up and down.
Plz can anyone tell me how to get this back or if I have to upload an app to put it back
Plz n Thank you

Hey FieryT,
Does the trackball still work? Or it just doesn't work when the Camera app is launched?
If it works everywhere else, just not within the Camera, I would suggest a clean reload of the device software.
Be sure to back up your device prior to the reload as all data will be wiped clean.
Article KB11320 will show you how to do the clean reload.
After the load completes, test the zoom on the camera before restoring any information.
It is recommended to selectively restore data. KB10339 will walk you through this process.
Thanks and have a great day!

Zoom function stopped to work

The zoom function (option key and +/-) used to work within all windows/applications. But suddenly it doesn't work anymore.
What can I do to get functioning properly again?
Thanks

You are right - was a typo on my side. Anyway, found the problem in the meantime.
Under System Preferences - Universal Access - Zoom Function needs to be "on"
CMD +/- works only in Safari and Mail. In other applications e.g. Address, Excel etc. you have to press CMD and Option +/-
Maybe this gives others extra hints that are not much published
