Lightroom 3 pdf slideshow not in random order

I have attempted several times to setup a slideshow in random order that repeats. The preview works fine but on other machines (Windows mainly) the adobe reader does not display the pdf slideshow in random order nor will it repeat when these preferences are selected in Lightroom 3.
You can work around the repeat issue but I can not find a solution for the random order. Any suggestions.

PDF slideshow is not supposed to be random.

  • How do I make a slideshow play in random order?

    I have a simple slideshow comprised of about 10 images that fade in and out from one photo to the next. I'd like to be able to have them play in random order. How can I make this happen?

    You need use JavaScript or jQuery for generate random numbers and use this numbers for navigate in the timeline

  • PDF-Slideshow not synchronized with music

    I built a slideshow with PSE 5 and added music to it. I export the show as a wmv-file as well as a pdf-file. Playing the mwv-file with the windows media player everything works well but playing the pdf-file the music ends nearly 20 seconds before the slide show (which takes about 4 minutes in total). The music doesn't interrupt or lacks something, it seems that it's playing faster than the slides with the Acrobat Reader (latest version). Any suggestions to address this? Regards Andreas

    My guess is that displaying the PDF file is effected by the resources of the PC on which it is being played. Over the last few years, other people have posted that the timing of playing a PDF slide show is not totally consistent.
    Since you say the slides are presented slower, it seems that this could be caused by a slower processor, a video card with a small amount of memory, or other processes and programs that are running at the same time on that PC.
    suggestion:
    You did not post which choice you made for resolution when you did the output of the PDF file. If you used full size images, then I suggest that you create another Output PDF file with the choice of optimizing for display on screen and see if that eliminates or decreases the gap where the music ends before the photos.
    Why I suggested this:
    If the PDF file is created with the images at a lower resolution, then less processing may be required at the time the PDF is displayed.

  • I need an app to search PDF, words not in sequential order. Please help

    Hopefully this means something to someone. I need to search through hundreds of PDF files but need to search for the words in the file name in non sequential order.  Every app that I have looked at so far can search for words in the middle of a file name but type them out of order and it doesn't recognise.
    I hope someone out there can help. Many thanks in advance.

    hullo there
    i know that writepdf lets you search for keywords within actual docs, then it comes up with a list of interactive links of documents that have that keyword
    would that be any good?

  • Slideshow random order

    I wanted to generate a quick slideshow to run on another computer. I want random order, so I made sure that box was checked. It looks fine on my local computer, but the PDF it generates does not use a random order. There also aren't any random order web galleries that I could use.
    I did find a horrible workaround where I exported all the files to a work directory, made a slideshow with PSE6 in random order, then used premiere elements to burn a DVD. Way too much work for something that i could have just used the PDF for...
    Any ideas how to make that easier?

    type random in the search and your first response does a good job of answering it

  • How do you get Slideshow in the Finder to NOT randomize the order?

    This has been bugging me for a very long time. Does anyone know how to stop the Slideshow feature from randomizing the order of the photos?
    As an aside, why is this the default behavior in the first place?

    Oddly enough my sis-in-law called me last night wanting to know how do a slideshow on a Mac (she is normally on her Windows machine, but since my brother is currently in Bangkok she was using his Mac and couldn't ask him). I explained the Finder method, including the "random" problem, and also how to use Preview to do the show (and to sort them in Preview to change the order--control click in the drawer displaying the thumbs and then choose the sort method). One thing she would like to do that I don't know how to accomplish is to have the name of the pix display while the show is running. You can choose that if you make the slideshow in iPhoto, but evidently not in the Finder or Preview.

  • Slideshow not playing as a PDF

    In the last version of Lightroom, I could export a pdf slideshow and it would actually play when the PDF was opened. No music but it did play. Now I do not know if it is a PDF issue or a Lightroom issues, but my slideshows have to be arrowed through, they do not play on there own.
    Any suggestions?

    I'm experiencing the same issue. Plays fine in lightroom 3, but no
    sound in pdf.

  • Create random order slideshow and burn to dvd

    I am trying to create a random order slideshow and burn it to a dvd playable on a dvd player. I tried creating the slideshow in iphoto using the album mode, and was successful in creating the slideshow, but cannot save, export or burn. Would appreciate any help.

    Thanks for your help!
    I am trying to make a slide show of 900+ photos. I moved the photos from a CD into iPhoto. Originally I tried Magic iDVD, dropped the photos from the Event zone into the drop zones in Magic iDVD, chose a theme and previewed. The slides were shuffled from the beginning, and at first I thought that some of the themes allowed the shuffling of the slides as an effect. However, I did notice that the slides remained in the same order regardless of the theme chosen, but wasn't sure why this was the case. I then made the mistake of trying to eliminate a few of the slides and divide the slides more evenly between the two drop zones. I went back to the Event, opened the folder and selected the photos to be included and moved them to a new folder. From that point on the "shuffle" of the photos was gone and the photos appeared in the order in which they were taken. I spent several hours of trial and error trying to reinstate the shuffle, called Apple, talked with various Apple help and more expert users and finally ended up seeking help from the discussion boards where I found the post explaining how to create the shuffled slideshow in the Albums area of iPhoto . This is exactly what I am looking for--shuffled photos and random transitions! Unfortunately, it seems as though you can only view this slideshow from the computer. Now I am looking for another way to do the same thing. I am new to Apple, and trial and error is extremely time consuming and in this case not very productive. If there is a software program which will create a random shuffle (either Mac or Win) I can always create the shuffle and then import the photos back into the Events folder and create the DVD. Any help/ideas for a successful completion of this project are welcome! Thanks.

  • Photos: Random-order slideshow; how?

    In iPhoto a valuable feature was a slideshow in random order. How is this done in Photos?

    Petersit:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you selecting an album and then using the Play button in the bottom toolbar? If so, then in the Setting window there's a checkbox, checked by default, setting the order to random. Uncheck it.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Stop random order in iPhoto slideshow

    Every time I set slideshow photos manually they revert to a random order when playing. I need for this to not happen! Help

    What version of Photo are you running? Are you playing the slideshow from an album? How are the photos sorted in the album?
    There's a bug in  iPhoto 9.5 and Mavericks and Yosemite in that slideshows from Albums do not play correctly if they are sorted manually.  Only photos that have been sorted by date, keyword, rating or title will play from albums correctly.
    Go to the App Store and update iPhoto to iPhoto 9.6 which fixes that bug.
    To have a slideshow with photos sorted manually with iPhoto 9.5.1 use the slideshow mode in iPhoto.

  • After upgrading to 5.01, songs in my playlist no longer are in the same order as on itunes.  I want to at least list them by the most played first not some random Apple order.

    After upgrading to 5.01, songs in my playlist is no longer are in the same order as on itunes.  I want to at least list them by the most played first not some random Apple order.

    Not sure why this is happening and it is a pain. Once the Purchased list sorted by 'date added' go to the left most column and select the top - in my Purchased list the new items go to the bottom and I drag them back up to the top position.

  • In downloading my Events from iPhoto on my Mac to my iPad Air, the Events arrive in the proper order but not showing the Key Photo.  At the same time, the Events arrive in iPhoto on the iPad in totally random order but showing the Key Photo.Why?

    In downloading my Events from iPhoto on my Mac to my Ipad Air, the Events arrive in Photos in the correct order but not showing the Key photo. At the same time, the Events arrive in iPhoto in a totally random order but with the Key phto showing. Why? of course and is there a way to shift the order in Iphoto and get a Key photo in Photos?

    HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
    i tried to sort it out  by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
    i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
    WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
    I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated.

  • IPhone 3G displaying emails in random order / not displaying some at all

    My iPhone is displaying emails in random order - mainly oldest first at the moment. Since I can't set viewing preferences I would like to know how to get iPhone mail back to normal behaviour. For some reason it is not displaying emails from 5 December to 30 November as well.
    I have deleted my .mac mail account and re-instated it to no avail.
    I should add that my mac.com webmail is behaving similarly strangely. Instead of displaying emails by most recent first it decided to display them by oldest first.
    Since I have not done anything differently and this behaviour came out of the blue I am pretty puzzled.
    Mail.app on my Powerbook works fine btw.

    First try Resetting it: Hold down the home and sleep button, ignore the red OFF slider, wait for the Apple logo then let go.
    If that does not work, Restore your iPhone in iTunes from your backup.
    If that still does not fix it, Restore your iPhone and a new phone (not from backup) and see how it works. If it is doing fine you have a app you are using that is probably causing your problem. Load them one and a time until the problems recur and you will have found the one that is a problem.

  • Pdf slideshow from PS CS4 - not bridge/output!

    Does anyone know if I can get it back in the automate settings, perhaps as a legacy function?
    I've just downloaded the PS CS4 and LR2 trials (and using the beta LR2.2 and beta ACR) as my PS CS2 and old raw plugin don't open my new cameras images.
    imho I don't think they've really thought it through from a workflow pov, I provide both contacts and a pdf slideshow to my clients. If I use the bridge/output method for both on every job - and all the swapping over of the options that entails I will be smacking my head off the nearest wall after a couple of days.
    The bridge/output also limits my choices severely - I thought the idea of upgrading was to IMPROVE functionality......... I'm not usually a grumbler, but I'm about to pay an upgrade price of nearly a grand (in £'s - not $!) essentially for a lovely raw plugin and nice LR2 web galleries - it's not looking like a particularly good deal :-(
    I've found the "PS CS4 goodie" folder on the adobe site and installed the contact sheet II option into the automate area - it's just not practical for me to have a set of contacts in pdf format, it's definitely a step backwards for me.
    I'd hoped for an improvement, with options to include a title, date etc - but nope.
    I'm also not happy with the pdf slideshow in bridge/output - I miss the compression options, I often need to keep them small on the file front - whilst keeping the screen looking good (150ppi compression works well) - which I don't have the ability to do this in cs4, constraining to screen size choices with a "high" or "low" option is useless to me. I just don't get it - this is pro software - with a pro price - is it too much to ask for more pro workflow considerations? Come on Adobe, play the game......
    Apologies for the rambling rant and general grumpiness - all help & suggestions very much appreciated :-)

    I found an answer to my own question. A work around of sorts.
    Download Photoshop Elements 6 for Macintosh. With PSE6 I made a slide show with 550 images 1920x1200, without thumbs. I ran into one problem making the slide show. My images contained 4 images which had not ben created by Photoshop and could not be included in the slide show. Opening the images in Photoshop CS4 and re-saving them still did not make then acceptable. Not a big deal. I probably could have fixed the four images by stripping all EXIF data before opening them in Photoshop. BTW, PSE6 made the slide show in demo mode.
    I hope the bug in Photoshop CS4 will be fixed in Photoshop CS5.

  • Combined pdf random order

    I have tried to combine several PDFs into one using the combine menu option but the result is a random order of the files. I have done this several times and the result is different every time with a different order and number of pages. I have used the same files each time. I have adobe acrobat 9 pro extended.
    Message was edited by: markgian

    No error messages. Some of the pages are duplicated and in random order. The result is different each time????
