Linked media in interactive PDF has low output volume

The link FV4 video in my exported interactive PDF produced in InDesign is practically inaudiable. The the audio in the stand alone quicktime video is fine.
How can I increase the volume output in the interactived PDF?
Thanks!

There are no controls either in InDesign or in Acrobat Pro to change the volume associated with a video file.
I've made many interactive PDF files from InDesign and the volume playing from the PDF is always exactly the same as when I previewed it in the Media panel in InDesign.
Open up the Media panel in InDesign (Window > Interactive > Media) and preview the video there. I'd bet that it previews the same as when you play the PDF file.
There must be something that was done in QuickTime to change the audio.

How do I create a downloadable link from an Interactive PDF file created out of InDesign CS6?

Hello,
I created an Interactive PDF file out of InDesign and would like to make the large file a downloadable link and share it with the user in an email. I do not want to use DropBox or GoogleDrive.
The company I contract for has their own site - do I insert the file into the site or can I create a separate link for it?
I will be recreating these presentation PDF's constantly, so I would like to know if there is a simple way to create this link for files in the size of 7-12MB.
Any ideas on downloadable links? I do have flash - but rarely use, perhaps load the file out of flash?
Thank you so much for your help,
Megan

Hi Willie,
Thanks for your help. Most likely contact the company who maintains the
site then to share the file with them I'm assuming?

Unwanted keyline around media in interactive PDF

Using:
Indesign CS6
Acrobat X Pro
I am exporting an interactive PDF with a movie placed on a page, and when viewing in Acrobat I'm getting a black keyline around the movie's bounding box when I enter the page. If I click anywhere else on the page, the box disappears, however this is not possible in full screen mode as the cursor/hand instead selects the next page, and besides, I don't want the user to have to click away just to view it correctly.
Please reference the image attached. The text is just there to help show the keyline/border.
I have tried using both .mov and .f4v files (.mov because it allows looping) and both end up with the same result.
I have tried not looping to no effect.
There isn't a keyline in the movie file, nor in the bounding box in InDesign.
It's as though Acrobat is saying, "Here's the media file you wanted activated upon page entry. See, I've put a black box around it so you know".
So the question is, is there some way of having media files playing upon page entry without this keyline?
Thank you for your assistance.

Interactive pdf has random black boxes appearing after video slides

I am using indesign cs6 and I have a document that is 52 pages long with images, text and vidoes that are flv files. I export the doc as an interactive pdf. I open the doc in Acrobat and it plays fine. The only issue is that after a video slide, A random black box, the same size as teh video element is appearing on the slide after the video.
Right in the middle. As if I have left the video element on the same slide.
Not sure if this is a ram issue or something I am missing. I have checked the slides after the videos and the elements are fine.
Please help. Thank you all.

It's a long-time bug, doubt it'll ever be fixed. You can use Acrobat to change the annotation properties to 'disable when' = page is not visible, so the Flash Player instance is unloaded from the display stack - that usually helps. InDesign doesn't let you control that parameter.

Low output volume

So when I have my iphone plugged into the computer the output is good and loud for plugging into a stereo.
However when its not plugged in then it is very very quiet. Is there a way to make the volume loud all the time? I'm not wild about cranking my stereo up then forgetting its so loud and changing devices and having it blast me out of the room.....

have you checked the iPhone volume level to make sure it's up? have you tried playing with the volume controls while it's plugged into the stereo? i have seen that the iPhone saves the last volume level for the device you were using, so it will keep 1 set of volume levels for the headphones, another for a different set of headphones, and then another for the on board speaker.

Help! InDesign interactive PDF buttons not working in Safari or on iPad

I made an infographic in Indesign for our university magazine with a QR code to link to an interactive pdf. Nothing too complicated animation wise, simply buttons that you can click on to view different parts of the graphic. However, the buttons are not working at all in Safari and on the iPhone and iPad, the buttons disapear completley. Please help.

Thanks,
Gretchen

Whether buttons work correctly in a PDF file depend entirely on what PDF reader you're using. Here are a couple of important facts:
* While corrected created interactive PDFs will display correctly in the FREE Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat, they probably won't display correctly in Apple's Preview application which is probably what you're viewing in Safari.
* None of the PDF readers currently available on an iPad (e.g., iBooks, GoodReader, etc.) correctly handle interactivity like buttons on an iPad.

Licensing concerns for end users of Interactive PDFs

The following is hypothetical...
My Company has bought and has licensed some Adobe Creative Suite software in order to use LiveCycle Designer to produce Interactive PDFs for use by any type of Customer - internal to the Company or external to the Company.
Once an Interactive PDF has been produced and then distributed out to the Customer, does the Customer need to have a license in place to use the PDF? Does the Company have to ensure the Customer has a License in place? Is the Company going against any particular License?
Sorry to be vague but I guess the bottom line is what and who needs to be Licensed in order to use and/or distribute Adobe Interactive PDFs?
Thanks,

If the forms are just going to be distributed, filled in by Reader and the results submitted as a web form would be, there are no limitations... that's part of the value of PDF and the Adobe Reader.
But if you take the form and reader-extend it with Acrobat Pro to allow local save of the filled-in form, there are licensing limitations. I recently covered this in another post, so I suggest looking there. If there are more questions, just post them to this thread.

Animation symbols not running smoothly in interactive pdf

I created an animated symbol on flash and placing it on the interactive pdf has been quite successful, except it does not animate as smoothly as I hoped it would.
Instead of looping a smooth animation on its own it requires the mouse to be hovered over the element area in a kind of sweeping motion in order for it to play keyframes, and sometimes with relatively smooth success and other times not. I've tried running the pdf in adobe reader in different computers and achieve the same results.
It was made for the NavCardSelected instance and the symbol itself is a relatively simple 'growing vine' animation, if that helps elaborate any more. Anyone have some kind of workaround to this?

I would check the Flash/SWF code to see if it requires any special events to be sent.

DDTS-100 low output

Can Creative help me on why I have a low output (volume near to max for both ) from my Altec Lansing 505R speakers connected to my PS2, Xbox n DVD(optical), Creative soundcard Audigy(coaxial) and TV, Creative soundcard Audigy(stereo) but when I connect stereo direct(stereo input) to my speakers with volume set mid, the speakers output is way louder n better. Is there something wrong with my DDTS-100? Adjusting the center, rear and subwoofer didn't make any difference for my output. Anybody have any comments on this. Thinking of sending it down to the Creative service centre for a check if there is no solution for this. Hope Creative can advise on this.

I guess I should have done my homework before posting! I went to dolby.com and found that prologic II does not support the subwoofer output.. I guess this is for older systems that don't have one. It would have been nice if creative could have enabled the sub out though.. but it probobly is against dolby's rules. The good news is that all of my speakers are large, full range ones anyways. (the new dolby prologic IIx does support the subwoofer out, but the DDTS-00 doesn't support prologic IIx, go figure) Overall the unit seems like it will work ok for me... Oh, by the way, I plan on using it as the input for an older McIntosh tuner/pre-amp in my home theater, no computer or powered speakers involved. It has a 6 channel input, but no dolby digital decoder.. I hope it works for that, seems like it should. I just need the mini plug to RCA adapters, right?
Thanks, Ron

TOC links fail when using book function for interactive pdf output

I have a large print publication consisting of multiple files using the Indesign book function. I have created a Table of Contents in the first document (there are multiple files in this book), but when I save to interactive pdf to create a digital version the TOC links are lost. They only work within the first document.
I have read numerous forums but cannot resolve this issue with the combination of:
1. TOC creation
2. Using Indesign Book Function
3. Multiple documents in the one book
4. Interactive Pdf output required
I look forward to answers???

I am on CC version 9.0 but am updating CC as I type this in the hope this may have some answers?
If you are on CC, you should update your InDesign version to 9.2.1 as it is the latest version. Then you should open the TOC definitions, check it, activate the new add anchor on destiny function and save. Now you should actualize all TOCs.
The TOC functionality has been improved and changed between 9.0 and 9.2. If you update your files accordingly you will suffer less pain.

How to Add Media to a Custom Frame That Preserves to Interactive PDF

What I'm doing/trying to do:
I have a custom object that I want to use as a frame in which the video would be placed. The object is a somewhat rectangular frame that I've custom made to fit over a portion of my background image.
Adobe InDesign interactive pdf exports don't play any html embed codings I add (even after making sure the http:// is present) nor does the InDesign accept any of the video from URL links I put in from YouTube or Vimeo using the Add Media function. Therefore I tried using the actual media file and uploading it to my Adobe Indesign file. However, the video won't play or appear in my custom frame when I export it, but the video file will play when I plop it in without a frame. Before exporting I get the message: :
So:
A) What urls will Adobe Indesign ACTUALLY accept since all the ones I've used so far don't work?
B) How do I add a video file to a custom frame that fits appropriately into the frame?
C) How do I get URL based media to work in interactive pdfs?
D) If I can't do what I'm trying to do as an interactive pdf what file should I be saving it as so that I can make it work?
I hope that makes sense. Thanks in advance for the help!

I have never yet heard of anyone who has successfully played a YouTube or Vimeo streaming video from an interactive PDF. You could search for some kind of a third party utility that claims to convert that to a video format. You should aim to create an MP4 file, preferably with H.264 encoding. I've also never read the description of someone who has done such a conversion, though it is theoretically possible.
You will be unsuccessful in masking a video to play in a non-rectangular frame because in a PDF, the interactivity also is display above anything else on the page.

Interactive buttons not working on interactive pdf when the Indesign links are set correctly

Hi all,
I have one Indesign CS6 manual containing 17 files, 126 pages. This has been set to a book file.
This has been translated into 14 languages and now we are having problems creating the interactive pdfs.
After fixing the broken interactive buttons within the Indd files, we are finding that when we create the interactive pdfs, not all interactive button links work. When we recreate the same langauge interactive pdf we are finding that the buttons that were not working the 1st time, are now working, and some buttons that were working, are now not working.
Is there a bug somewhere.
Any idea why the interactive buttons work one minute and then not the next, and vice versa.
Any idea how we can fix.
I’m using Indesign CS6 and Acrobat 9 Pro.
Thanks in advance.

Hi LoriAUC,
Thanks for this. Very much appreciated.
I have asked sagar-khanna from the other discussion is he knows more about the broken links etc.
Thanks again.
Julie :-)

Relative links in interactive pdf

Hi. I'm building an interactive pdf that will work as the content of an interactive cd. The main document is saved on the "cd" directory, on the desktop. I created a button that will open an external pdf file. The link to the file is an absolute link:
Macintosh HD:Users:myuser:Desktop:cd:files:file1.pdf
Now, I need this to be a relative link so I can burn the cd and make sure it works, independently of the file's root address. How can I achieve this?
I tried changing the : to / and doing something like ./cd/files/file1.pdf but it didn't work. This probably has a simple solution, I just don't know how to express relative links in InDesign. Any advice? Thanks.

Hi. Honestly I don't remember how I solved this at the time, it was over 3 years ago... The problem was just as described. I had an interactive pdf that I had to burn on a CD. On the CD was another file that could be opened via a button on the interactive pdf. Thing was I didn't know how to create a button with a link for the document on the CD, I could only do it with guaranteed results using a link to the file on my computer. Hence the need to have a relative link.

Interactive pdf is "dead" after accessing via intranet link in IE

Hello,
Our marketing dept. has created some nice interactive PDF's.    After posting to the intranet, however, these come down "flat" (all interactivity stripped out) in the IE pdf viewer. I'm assuming that this is by design for security reasons.
The audience is technophobic and unable to open Acrobat reader and flip the setting.   I'm exploring setting the default reader to Acrobat via a registry edit.
Is there any way to tell the IE in-browser pdf reader to allow interactivity to be displayed if a document is from a trusted URL?   We're using about 90% IE 7 and 8 with some IE6 remaining.
Any input/suggestions that you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Trey Carroll

Hi Bernd,
The interactivity is mostly just a bunch of links that allow navigation within the pdf.   Also, the page orientation where 2 pages display side-by-side (horizontally) is lost and the pages render singly in sequential order (vertically) when viewed in IE.    I was guessing that this was becuase the IE viewer imposes security restrictions.
Thanks,
Trey Carroll

Does anyone know how to avoid the Ok, upload, thumbnails links that appeares when you touche the ipad screen when viewing an interactive pdf?

i'm trying to read several interactive pdf on my ipad, but when i touch the screen it ppeares a top bar with "ok" that if i touch it closes the pdf, an upload button, & the thumbnails of the pages on the righ side of the screen appears too. Does anybody know how to avoid it? Thank's

Are you saying that all pages appear blank when you open the particular PDF document (AINF....pdf) in Adobe Reader for iOS? It may be due to a bug in Adobe Reader for iOS.
You mentioned "links"...There are three different actions that the desktop version of Adobe Reader supports for links.
Go to a page view (within the same document)
Open a web page
Open a file
Adobe Reader mobile products (for iOS, Android, Windows Phone) support the first two but does not support opening a PDF file or any other types of files.
Additionally, hyperlinks are not visible in Adobe Reader mobile products. (It used to show hyperlinks in light blue highlight. But due to customer complaints, hyperlink highlighting has been disabled.)
Please let us know if you can share your PDF document with us (Adobe). We can take a look at it and diagnose the cause of the problem. Thank you.
