Link creation in Acrobat - viewing on ipad

Hi All
As posted above im having problems with a pdf and links on an ipad.
I have a 10 page pdf that I have created in indesign ( this doesnt have any interactivity set, just standard pdf output)
I then set links using the link tool native in Acrobat pro. The links are simple links to open a page view ie, just linking to another page in the document.
I have this set to 'Go to a page view'
Once saved, it all works fine in acrobat.
When viewed in Acrobat reader for iOS. one of the links works where all the others dont.
I have checked and they all have the same settings.
My client doesnt have the option of adding any other reader app, Acrobat reader is the only option as its for a large sales team.
Surely Acrobat reader iOS should be able to read links natively created in Acrobat pro?
Any help welcome
Thanks
Steve

The only way to get the navigation buttons to work at this time on the iPad is to use the form tool. This article on Navigation Button Tricks for Interactive PDF on an iPad will explain how to do this.

View link creation on two view objects, and both view objects are populated program(not from sql)

I have master and detail VO , both views data is loaded in program. Now for show/hide feature, I create View Link Object and using one element from both child and master VO , View Link Object created properly.
But I can not able to add that view link object into AM.
Now because of that , I cannot say what is a instance name of that view link object.
Hence getting following error -- Invalid or missing view link. Please attach view link with the bean.
Please can you provide some directions.

Forms created in Acrobat Pro XL do not display data when viewed on iPads

I have a simple form that when completed and saved as an Acrobat Pro XL document and then emailed to customers, do not display the field contents of the form when viewed on iPads. So the customers just see a blank form. I have tried to use Optimize for Web and Moblie to solve this, but it appears that many times, since the iPads are so prevalent, that people can;t see the full content of the form that I send. Is there a solution for this?

When your customers opened the PDF form (which was as an email attachment) on iPads, it is highly likely that Apple Mail (not Adobe Reader for iOS) was displaying the preview of the PDF form. Please note that Apple products on iPad/iPhone (e.g. Apple Mail, iBooks, Safari) do not render field contents or annotations (sticky notes, highlight, underline, strikeout, freehand drawing, etc.) in PDF documents.
The Mail sections of the following FAQ documents describe how to open PDF attachments in Adobe Reader for iOS.
For iPad, see How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad on iOS 7 version)
For iPhone, see How to open PDF documents in Adobe Reader for iOS (iPhone on iOS 7 version)

Bug in view link creation

Here's an interesting bug in JDev 9.0.3.1, Win2k:
I'm working with a view link using the Edit View Link dialog. It links two view objects, ViewA and ViewB, in a 1:* relationship. Entities EntityA and EntityB are the respective underliers of ViewA and ViewB. Under the View Link Properties node in the dialog, the only accessor generated is for the Destination view object.
When I click OK, the column constants at the top of EntityA.java become messed up!!
To be specific, all of the accessor column constants defined on the entity object are removed and then re-defined one line above the beginning of the column constants declaration section. They also are renumbered starting with zero, which causes them to have the same value as the first n column constant definitions. Naturally, this causes a "duplicate case label" compile error for the EntityA.java file.
Even worse is if the column constant definitions start on the same line as the opening brace for the class, like so:
public class EntityAImpl extends EntityImpl
{ protected static final int COLUMN_1 = 0;
protected static final int COLUMN_2 = 1;
// etc.
The effect of clicking OK in the Edit View Link dialog is then to produce a ParseException error as the dialog is dismissed. Looking at the EntityA.java file, it's clear why:
public class EntityAImpl extends EntityImpl
protected static final int ACCESSOR_1 = 0;
protected static final int ACCESSOR_2 = 1;
// etc.
{ protected static final int COLUMN_1 = 0;
protected static final int COLUMN_2 = 1;
// etc.
What puzzles me is:
* Why is the entity object being affected at all, since the accessor was only supposed to be generated in ViewA?
* Why are all the accessors being removed and re-added, even those that have nothing to do with the view link being edited?
* Why, when the accessors are re-added, are the constant values duplicated?

Please send a test case. I'm unable to reproduce this in a simple project in 9.0.3.1 or 9.0.3.2.
Is there entity inheritance involved?
Do your entity XML files mention _superAttr anywhere in them? If so, you might be hitting a known issue with 9.0.3 relating to entity inheritance at design time and the accessor attributes.

How can PDFs be distilled with narrow margins for optimized viewing on iPad?

I am not reporting a serious issue. I am seeking to expand my understanding of PDF creating.
Using Adobe Acrobat XI version 11.0.10 on MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB DDR3), I have been creating PDF files of music charts optimized for viewing on iPad using Acrobat Distiller XI version 11.0.10. I recently upgraded to Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10.2). Music charts are designed using Pages 5.5.2 using Page Setup for HP LaserJet 1012 and a custom page size (7.75 in. x 10.25) with four 0.06 inch margins. This allows me to replicate exact content of a PDF file optimized for printing [Page Setup for HP LaserJet 1012 with US Letter page size (8.5 in. x 11) having four 0.5 inch margins] on a PDF file optimized for viewing on an iPad. The iPad PDF has reduced white space in margins allowing the music chart to have the largest print viewable when looking at an iPad while performing.
I am creating a PDF by distilling a Postscript file and using Acrobat Distiller [PDF/A-1b:2005 (RGB)]. "Save as an Adobe PDF" does not work; it only generates "Error An error occurred while saving the PDF file." Moreover, "Save as an Adobe PDF" never works for any circumstance.
The issue is iPad PDFs no longer have 0.06 inch margins. A PDF file is created, but there is more white space in margins. I have determined the PDF production is being affected by the HP LaserJet 1012 0.167 inch minimal margins. The outcome does not change if I select Any Printer from Page Setup.
However, a PDF with 0.06 inch margins is created if I use the MacOS PDF generator (MacOS X 10.10.2 Quartz PDF Context).
Is there any thing I can do to use Adobe Acrobat XI to make charts optimized iPad like I could before I upgraded to Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)? Just curious…
Kind regards, –John
P.S. I am attaching 3 screen shots of sample files (PDF with 0.5 print margins, PDF using Distiller, and PDF using MacOS Quartz)

Howdy Sukrit,
Thank you for taking time to respond to my query.
I tried your suggestion for resizing the size of the pages. Unfortunately, the PDF was created from a document that did not designate headers and footers. The Add Header and Footer tool did not recognize the existence of any header of footer, thus I could not use this method to resize the document.
Your suggestion did prompt me to realize I could hand crop each page of a PDF, but this would be a tedious but functional process.
I am convinced this issue is more a product of the Mac OS 10.10.x than an Acrobat issue. (I was creating properly sized PDFs with Acrobat XI and Mountain Lion Mac OS 10.9.x.)
I tried setting up a virtual PostScript printer with a generic PostScript in System Preferences > Printers & Scanners. [Ref: Set up a default printer in the Print Center (Mac OS X) <https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/set-default-printer-print-center.html>]
That produced the same results.
I tried using all available presets including Oversized Pages as well as editing Adobe PDF some default settings for Distiller.
I tried setting the printer to EPSON Stylus Photo R280 inkjet printer using Page Setup. Although this printer has minimum margins set to 0.12 inch, the result was a poorly oriented PDF on letter-size page.
I have been distilling quality PDFs for years using Acrobat 4, Acrobat 5, Acrobat 6, Instant PDF 3, Acrobat 7, Instant PDF 4, Acrobat 8, Acrobat 9, Acrobat X. I once could create PDFs using a virtual Adobe Distiller printer with generic PostScripts and specific Laserjet PostScripts, but all my PDF had margins of 0.5 inch or greater. The need for me to limit white space margins PDFs used on iPad only came about in the last year.
Something seems to have changed after upgrading to Yosemite Mac OS 10.10.2. Now PDF creation using Adobe Acrobat seems to be tied to my HP LaserJet 1012 preferences having 0.167 minimum margins whereas the Mac OS X 10.10.2 Quartz PDFContext is not restricted in default margins. This has piqued my curiosity, and I want to learn more about this.
I appreciate your help and expertise.
Kind regards,
–John P. Zannini

Adobe Content Viewer in iPad dont update the contents on mi Folio Builder! Help!

Please, someone have de same problem?!
When i update my folio through the Folio Builder in Indesign 5.5, the Content Viewer in iPad dont update de folio.
In Acrobat.com i see the contents update, but in iPad/Adobe Content Viewer not.
Why this problem happens?
Tanks.

As I wrote on another thread (and this was directed at Adobe employees)
"I have been closely monitoring many threads here at DPS (and DPS Private Beta Forums) in the last few weeks, and yes I am new to this particular product group having only been in it since March. But I wonder if there is some way that Adobe can be made aware of how serious this issue is with Builder and Viewer and tools "not lining up" with Apple.
"To keep putting this problem on Apple is somewhat of a shopworn technique (and I say this with all due respect.). Still, Apple commands fully 80+ % of the tablet market. They are the big dog.
"Suggestions for the future: Perhaps there will be a way to choose a tools/viewers workflow at startup -- or to put a bigger "red flag" before installing any update that is not yet supported by Apple. Approaching this from the engineering side, you may have forgotten just how many disclaimer screens the average designer/production person faces every week! Many of us don't read them carefully. (Richard Dreyfuss reads them).
"I have nothing but admiration for what Adobe software engineers are trying to do -- and these are nascent times to be sure. But it certainly seems like this launch is going poorly.

Invalid link message in Acrobat 7 but not in Acrobat X

Dear All,
When clicking on an invalid external link in Abobe Acrobat 7, I receive the following error message:
The specified file ... does not exist.
But in Acrobat X, nothing happens in the same situation and I don`t know how to enable this message.
Can anybody help?
Thank you,
anszpa

The binding determines whether the data in the field should be written to the data dom or not. A value of Normal indicates that you want the dta written to the dom and it will follow the hierarchy set in the hierarchy view of Designer. If you set it to None that indicates that you do not want the data written to the dom. You can bind the field to other inbound streams but that is another topic.
The Data Dom is what is used to store all of the data in the form. It is what is used to make the data structure of the data file that is saved or submitted.
Does that help?

"Link Appearance" in Acrobat 7.0 PDF generator

Under Acrobat 5.0 PDFmaker in MS Word you can set some display options for the generates PDF file. Options like showing default bookmarks panel, visible rectangles around links and make these rectangle blue/solid.
Where can i find these options in Acrobat 7.0 PDFGenerator? Under the job options in Livecycle i do not see the same options (only the bookmark panel, page layout and page number option are equal in 7.0).
Also settings for gererating bookmarks and annotations/notes are not there anymore?
What is then the best way to set for example the "Link Appearance" in Acrobat 7.0 PDF generator or can't these settings be made anymore?
I already tried thinks with epilogue.ps:
% OPEN INFO
[ /PageMode /UseOutlines
/Page 1
/View [/XYZ null null null]
/DOCVIEW
pdfmark
But more then these DOCVIEW settings i can't find?
I also saw that the PDFMWord.dll (having a PDFMakerCreateStructure method for combining 2 PDF's to one!?) used in 5.0 is smaller then in 7.0. This method creates my blue visible rectangles because i can see the differences in the temp PDF's that are used before and after this execution. I also can't find any macro's (PDFMaker.dot) in 7.0, so it's probably a different handling?
So, what is the best way to solve the above issue for 7.0?

Hi Laura:
Can you elaborate a bit more on "converting some interactive/dynamic templates from Acrobat 5.0 to 7.0" and "pre-populate"?
If you were converting the template in Adobe LiveCycle Designer (comes with Acrobat Professional), then FDF import wouldn't work.
However, if you are executing the same action via Acrobat then FDF and xFDF import/export should still work.
Also, for designer based forms, you also have the option of merging the data into the PDF form using Adobe LiveCycle Forms (A server based product).
Another server based solution is to Reader Extend your PDF form to allow local import/export of data using Adobe Reader.
It really depends on what you want to do.
So options are this:
If your form is a Designer based forms:
- Manually Import Data (in XML) into PDF Form using Acrobat Professional
- Manually Import Data (in XML) into PDF Form* (Reader extended PDF form) using Adobe Reader
- Merge Data Programmatically (in XML) into PDF Form using Adobe LiveCycle Forms
If your form is an AcroForm (acrobat based form)
- Programmatically merge FDF data into PDF Form using the FDF toolkit/Acrobat SDK
- Manually Import Data in FDF/xFDF into PDF Form using Acrobat Professional.

Need help: unable to login Adobe Content Viewer on iPad

Need help: not able to login with my Adobe Id and password on adobe content viewer on iPad. I'm able to login on the adobe.com site with my Id and password, but not on my iPad in the adobe content viewer. I've reset my Adobe ID password a couple of times to make sure I'm using the correct password and ID and I've even tried it with a complete new Adobe ID account, but it has not helped. Anybody who knows how to solve this?

Your Adobe ID needs to be verified to work with DPS. Can you use that Adobe ID to sign in to the Folio Builder panel? If not, sign in to http://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com and follow the prompts to verify the Adobe ID.
If your Adobe ID is verified, try removing the Adobe Content Viewer app from both the iPad and iTunes, sync, and install it again.

Limitations/issues v.2 Adobe Content Viewer on Ipad 1 (not tested on 2)

Update on 23-Feb-2012
There a a few problems/limitations I'm running into with the Adobe Content Viewer for Ipad 1 (not tested on 2), like:
Autoplaying more than 1 multiple-state is impossible. Only the object in the highest place in the layers is visible (like having pulsing navigation arrows and a fade in text) -works perfectly in de windows Adobe Content Viewer with Indesign 5.5
Autoplay of an multistate object with 'stop at last frame' does not work. It just fades the entire multistate object out, instead of holding. -works perfectly in de windows Adobe Content Viewer with Indesign 5.5.
Cropping Images (changing the objectbox) in indesign, becomes skewed (or squashed) like the image just gets pushed in the new objectbox size.
Buttons with a click image/appearence become invisible in a multistate object. -works perfectly in de windows Adobe Content Viewer with Indesign 5.5.
The viewer on the ipad will crash on a navto://NameOfPage#PageNumberOtherThenTheFirst, if that page where it directs to has a slideshow. this happens 90% of the time.
Some ideas for change
Not allowing an Overlay (which is larger than the page itself) on a page depth of 1, on top of a page with depth 0. Seeing content of the page below the currentpage seems quite unuseful.
Allow multistate objects to autoplay within another multistate object (thus allowing like a: menu catagorie wich can call an autoplaying slideshow)
Zooming in on an image without first having to tap on it to enable zooming.
Updating content button.
Hitting the update button in Indesign cs5.5 (windows) doesn't update all changed content.
Hitting download update in de Adobe Content Viewer (Ipad 1) doesn't change all changed content. Archive and redownload nessesary.
We would love to see the top issues working.
Kind regards,

Folio not appearing in Adobe Content Viewer on ipad

folio i created in indesign cs5.5 not appearing in Adobe Content Viewer on ipad.
I have CS5.5, Apple ipad 1st gen ios 5.0.1 Adobe content viewer 1.9.1
the folio appears on the acrobat.com site in the FOLIO PRODUCER
but nothing is appearing on my ipad in the Adobe Content Viewer.
I work for a large magazine publisher and would like to demo the folio on the ipad to sell the concept of the DPS.
However if i cant get this on my device, its going to be a no go.
Help please.
Thanks,
James.

Thanks Ants,
Your doubts motivated me to do some testing on the subject;-)
I made several files of different dimensions, and uploaded them to the cloud. All of them rendered correctly on the desktop. But only those which used exact 4:3 width:height ratio appeared in the Content Viewer on the iPad. And only those, which were at least 1024x768px. A perfect 4:3 document sized 768x576 did not show. But the 1536x1152 one appeared correctly.
I am still certain, that the reason of absence od James' file in his iPad was caused by the dimensions of the folio. I would however modify my statement:
Only the folios sized exactly 1024x768 px (Landscape, portrait or both orientations) are valid for iPad
It should be: Only the folios sized 1024x768 px or more, with exact 4:3 ratio (Landscape, portrait or both orientations) are valid for iPad.

Tomek

Acrobat reader on iPad giving an error message

Acrobat reader on iPad giving an error message "No viewer available on your device" when I try to open a PDF I uploaded to Acrobat.com. I changed the name of the file. It shows up on the list and starts to load, then gives the error message.

It could be a corrupted file. Can you view it on a Mac or PC in Adobe Acrobat.
BTW, there is no Acrobat Reader on iPad. It's ADOBE READER.

Color shift in pdfs when viewing on ipad

Hey all,
Just wondering what I need to do to my PDF to ensure color are some what close to original when saving a PDF in Illustrator or InDesign. Yes i understand iPad would be using a different coor management to a desktop computer but surely there is a way to get the colors, brightness closer to original?
I notice that when doing standard and high quality saves in PDF format, the saturation and brightness contrast changes quite a bit, but if I save the image as a jpg its a lot closer.
I was just browsing a car site which seems to be exeriencing a very similar situation with one of their PDFs. When viewing in iPad have a look at how bad this looks (its way too dark) but when viewing on a desktop machine its fine.
http://www.holden.com.au/Satellite?blobcol=urldata&blobkey=id&blobtable=MungoBlobs&blobwhe re=1236959563505&ssbinary=true&blobheader=application/pdf
(If the link does not work go to the main domain, click on vehicles from menu, select captiva5 then click view brochure) to load PDF
Is it just a matter of color proofing using a specific model and drawing back on blownout levels before outputting to PDF?
Any help or insight would be great

Probably you are starting with an cmyk document and the profile is being translated that way.
Try converting the document to rgb then adjust your colors. Make sure you are using sRGB and not Adobe RGB 1998 or Color Match.
That should be the way to go.

Desktop Viewer and iPad Adobe Viewer conflict on video previews

Steps:
Place .mov file in InDesign layout. Ignore the warnings about .mov file not for SWF output, only PDF. Be sad there is no poster.
Place .f4v file on same page in InDesign. Be happy that there are no warnings. Be happy there is a poster.
Use desktop Content viewer to preview the page. The .f4v file plays as desired. Image moves with controller. The .mov file controller moves but there is only a black screen, no image.
Use Adobe Viewer on iPad to preview the page. The .f4v file is a static picture with no video controls or images. The .mov file plays but there was no poster.
I was told that the desktob Content viewer is only for the most "raw" previews of the Overlay effects, but it seems that this is not quite correct. If you go by what the Content viewer shows you would not place the .mov file.
But if you place what does preview in the Content viewer, the .f4v file doesn't play on the iPad.
Based on what the desktop Content viewer displayed, I thought the only format that would work on the iPad would be the .f4v. But given the love between Apple and Adobe regarding Flash that didn't seem to be possible.
I've had someone else confirm these findings.
Any thoughts?

Sandee,
You're best sticking with .mp4 files, at least for now.

"Supported video and audio files you place in InDesign play when tapped in the Viewer. For video files, use a format that is compatible with Apple iTunes, such as an MP4 file with h.264 encoding. For audio files, use MP3 files."
http://indesignsecrets.com/picking-the-best-video-format-for-digital-publishing.php
"What is the best video format to use for most digital publishing output? Surprisingly, there is usually one answer—H.264 files. H.264 files are the most widely supported: Adobe InDesign CS 5 and 5.5 let you place them, and you can control their viewing with the Media panel. They are supported in Adobe Flash Player, and they are embedded into Acrobat 9 and X, and Reader 9 and X. Apple has supported the format on its very popular devices (iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch), and it’s equally viewable on Macintosh or Windows computers. When you view videos on YouTube, Vimeo, or other sources on the internet, you’re viewing H.264."
