Page turn swf

Hi,
Have browsed the forum and found a topic that was covering navigation buttons for a interactive magazine but it didn't cover exactly what I was after. Basically I have a magazine which exports as an SWF using the page turn transition fine and has navigation buttons built into it. Great. But the page turn includes the buttons when it turns. Fuctionaly that works fine but ideally I wold like to have the navigation buttons as a separate entity down the bottom. I have included a Link where I have seen this done
http://www.starcity.com.au/Resource_Library-Whats_On_Mag.cms?ident=YULS18B8CYL8YQ8QBN9RPDU 9J8DV97&analyticsLink=WheelFlash
Is this possible using IDcs4?

Are you still strugling with that?
Check out this sample:
http://www.prepress.fi/eDocBrowser
If that´s what you looking for, download free demo and test it with your own documents:
http://www.prepress.fi/edocbrowser_demo/eDB_DEMO.zip
1. UnZip demo package, you will have folder eDB_DEMO
2. Export SWF any document you like to that folder but use name 1_magazine.swf and overwrite old one
3. Open index.html to your browser
4. If you like to test with second document, export it with name 2:magazine.swf. Now you have 2 swf linked together.
You can export 2 different document or split one long document to two parts by using page range in export SWF window.
ps. Is there by the way any tool for sending private messages in this forum? I could send these informations directly to people who have asked about swf export...
EDIT: I found it myself by digging little bit....

Page Turning SWF File

Having created a magazine in Indesign CS6 with hyperlinks throughout - I now want to create a page turning SWF. On doing so, everything works fine apart from the hyperlinks. If I export as a interactive pdf the links worth fine - has anyone else had this problem??

Thank - you Petteri - Much appreciated!!

Can a page-turning SWF to PDF have navigation?

I'm working on creating a flip-book PDF which needs a Replay button or some other way to get back to the first page OTHER than laboriously clicking back through every single page. In CS4 InDesign, files with Page Turn transistion must be exported as a SWF file, but the button I've put on the last page with a Go to First Page action won't work. Evidently that's because the SWF file after being turned into a PDF via Create PDF command becomes "one page" at least as far as Acrobat is concerned. Flash won't edit SWF files, so that's not an option.
Any theories on how to have a simple Start Over function would be appreciated. TIA!

eDocker might do the trick for you, here´s a sample:

CS5 doesn't offer basic audio functionality (playback stops on page turn)

I would like to place a sound file and in the exported pdf have the sound file play (via button or playback toolbar), without stopping on page turn. To me, this is a very basic function to ask for. But guess what? CS5 can't do it. Turn the page and the sound stops. Is a workaround converting the sound to a video file? Possibly, but any converted file (to avi or mp4 containers for example) gets an error message when I tried to place it. My question is, can anyone make this basic function work? If not, my second question is, where would I go to submit this issue to developers. Also, I understand it's possible to address this issue on acrobat, but this is not feasible when we're talking about hundreds of audio files in a document.

Hi publicduck, I'm not sure if you meant you embedded swfs or if you exported from indesign to swf with an html file. But your suggestion helped, because after being unable to find any audio format that didn't stop playing on page turn (without the use of a playback controller), I tried exporting to swf instead of pdf, and for some reason, in swf, opened as an html file in firefox, I was able to click on the button to start the mp3, and turn the page, while the mp3 continued. So thanks!

Realistic Page Turn Effects from a PDF document

Is there a way to create animated page turn effects from within Acrobat or in combination with Flash?
I would like to create books, magazines, brochures that have hot links to other pages within the same document, web links, and multimedia capabilities, but which display animated page turns. Something along the style of http://page-flip.com/products.htm
Ideally, I would like to create the documents in various programs, and then turn them into a PDF with the hot links and multimedia capabilities. I then want them to display as a Flash video with the animated, realistic page turn effects, along with pagination and zoom controls.
There are software programs available that will do this but they cost big $$$$. Is there a way to export/print/save a PDF file to a SWF format and automatically have the page turn effects added?
I have CS4 with Acrobat Pro and Flash Pro. I found a couple of Flash extension that appear to do this but they are clumsy to use and I am not very experienced with Flash and ActionScript. I am looking for an easy way to accomplish this, hopefully, right from within Acrobat.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
Dan

Adobe CS5 support animated Flash and movies in PDF files, you can visit the home page for detail. When it comes to convert PDF to SWF with Page-Flip effect, Adobe didn't work that good. I recommend convert online at http://www.axmag.com/submit.html , this seems to be free.

Making page turns in a pdf from Indesign?

I have made a brochure in Indesign, I then converted it into a flash file in order to get the page curls I then went back into Indesign placed the flash file just created back into the Indesign document on a new spread then go to create a interactive pdf, however the pdf doesn't pick up the information from within the flash file it just prints the blank Indesign page with the image of the flash file. Can anyone help???

The blank page to the left of the first page will always be there when exporting page curl swf from ID. Here is what I have done to make this less conspicuous. On the dead space, I have placed an instruction blurb (like "turn the pages for more info"), so viewer will realize there are pages to turn. Also, I have made this area the same color as the background the swf is over. In Indesign you need to place this content on the pasteboard to the left of page 1, but insure the content touches a portion of the page. If this content does not touch part of the page, it will not be included in the swf file.

Can we keep page turn and accessibility in InDesign/PDF CS6?

Hi there
I have been working on an accessible PDF for awhile now and my client wants this doc look more interesting by applying 'page turn' and animation. Understanding we only could export as SWF for the page turn functionality but at the same time we lose all the accessibility. Is there anyway we can keep both? If it's not, are there any software to do that?
Also, for my understanding, these SWF files are not compatible with iOS device except Android? Ummm its a bit of drag when you can export SWF from InDesign and yet can not be view in Apple??
Any advice would be appreciated!
Cheers
Karen

There are some solutions outside InDesign which will convert pages with page flip effect compatible with iOS.

Placed mp3 stops playing on page turn in exported pdf

Hi, I placed a sound file in an indesign file, left the 'media' setting 'stop on page turn' unchecked, and still, the file stops when i turn the page in the pdf. I have one button controling the play (mouse release action) and stop (mouseover action) of the file.

hi steve, you're right; from what i've found, the only way that an embedded audio or movie file will keep playing is if you float a controller. The problem there however is that you have to use the controller; that can be dealt with in pdf, but not from indesign, and if one has a lot of media files in their interactive pdf, that's a lot of work after export. from within indesign, that controller can be made fairly small, and it ends up sitting in the top right corner of adobe reader once a media file is clicked; and it only goes away if you close it; and if you open other media files, the contollers start piling up.
what i ended up figuring out as an alternative was that if you export to swf instead of pdf, for some reason the mp3 (i only tried mp3 in swf) keeps playing on page turn (with no controller); and the nice thing about swf is that you can get 'curl' page transitions, and since it opens as an html it's ready to go online.
the document has buttons that upon being clicked, play the file (with nothing popping up); and the mouseover stops the file; and click again plays it.
one thing that would be nice is if one audio file could be placed that buttons on other pages could access cue points within; unfortunately; buttons can only access audio files that have been placed on the page. so instead of having 1 file, accessed at different navigation points, you have 50 files cut from the 1, each with their own button.

Creating interactive PDFs with page turn,issue with PDF

I recently watch a video on adobe tv titled "indesign : creating interactive PDFs with page turn and flash animation". The video was great,simple to follow with great results, I was able to create a document with interactive page turns that was viewable in a web browser,the next step was to then create the same document but be able to view it in PDF format. I followed the above mentioned video and everything worked apart from one issue once I exported the indesign file out as an interactive PDF it opened up in adobe acrobat pro with no problem but when I went to turn the page it would lag and slow down to the point were it was almost impossible to turn the page, the page turning didn't seem to flow as well as when viewing it in a web browser. The document I am creating is a catalogue and I am happy with the interactive version for the web but I am looking at putting the catalogue on a CD/ USB and need it to open and work with PDF, it would be a great help if anyone could advise me on the reason why the interactive page turning runs so poor in PDF format. I am currently running on a very powerful computer with the adobe CS5 master suit.
Any help would be much appreciated

The page flipping is an SWF effect, so essentially you now have an entire SWF embedded inside a PDF.
If you forget about this garish effect (which, I can guarantee you, by next year will be "so 2012") you can send out a standard PDF which can be easily viewed on otherwise sub-standard computers, and using very straightforward PDF readers, such as the ones currently available for the iPad and its clones.

Navigation with page turning PDF?

Am using CS4 products, don't know whether Acrobat or InDesign is the problem. I can get a flip-book by adding Page Turn transitions in InDesign, exporting to SWF, using Create PDF from file in Acrobat, then poof, I have a PDF with page turns. So far, so good. But, can't get navigation to work, what I want is one Start Over button on the last page that returns user to first page. I suspect it's because the SWF file is considered only 1 page by Acrobat. Any workarounds?
I can get the Start Over button to work in a PDF exported directly from InDesign, but then there can't be Page Turns.
Tried to put the SWF PDF in a portfolio in Acrobat, thinking I could add navigation, but couldn't figure it out.
Any theories would be appreciated. : )

You're correct - PDF files don't support page turning, so when InDesign exports your document places a single SWF into a one-page PDF file, therefore none of the navigation features of Acrobat or Reader will apply.
Navigation *within* the SWF should work as normal.

PDF to Flash page turning book effect

Can anyone recommend a particular professional PDF to Flash page turning book effect software. I've googled but there's a fair few out there and not sure which to go for. Anyone recommend a software in particular or know if any have been approved by Adobe? This is following a request by corporate client of mine but I'm stuck on which one is best to go for.
Thanks in advance
Molly O'Moon

Thanks for your reply Dave
Just tried exporting an ID file using the swf export settings but it does seems to be just be limited to a page curl effect. Is good but not quite what I'm after. What I need is something that produces page turns, zoom in and out options, a 'go to locked pdf' version and a print option that prints from the pdf and not the swf. Not sure this can be done in the ID export menu? I might be missing something though - so really after recommendations on software that would let me to do this to a pdf but not sure which would be best choice out of the options that are out there.
Really appreciate your help.

Flash page-turn quality

Ho do I maintain image quality in a flash page-turn. I create the pages in InDesign and export as a swf file then import to flash. Once I export the movie from flash the images are degraded. Especially noticable in zoom mode.

Trying to make a page turning book on a Mac in InDesign, won't work

I have been trying for a few days to create an interactive book (where the pages turn) but when I go to preview the navigation button won't work (they show the roll over but don't actually move to the next page). Also I try to export and save as a .swf file but it says that it is 'not supported'. Can anyone help, I would be very grateful!

Alright thanks! Ok this is what happens in my end:
- The interactive PDF you sent me works fine. The iD file opens fine as well and is exactly the same process so that checks.
-I exported your iD file to .swf, created a new iD document and imported the exported .swf file from the file you created. I exported this new document to interactive PDF. I open it and again I click the links and only google chrome windows open
This is the link it probably works fine on your end
https://www.dropbox.com/s/on5tun0v0eunjhu/buttons%20email%20text%20swf%20imported%20to%20i nteractive%20pdf.pdf
I think there is something going on in my end. "Google Chrome" or "Flash" might be intersecting email links or something becuase I cannot get these .swf + interactive pdf combo to open the email client not even after I used your iD file, exported .swf, imported it and export again to interactive pdf.
Again the interactive pdf you sent works fine and when I export my file to interactive pdf it works on my end as well, its only after i export to swf and then I use the file inside iD and export to interactive pdf that it does causes me trouble. I will see what I can do to fix this. At least it was working for you so if its only in my end then its not that bad but it will bugg me forever haha!
Thanks again for your help!! Sorry to take your time Salah!

Page Turn Effect in Adobe eSeminar

I recently saw a page turning effect in a recent Adobe eSeminar that was delivered sometime in June 2009. I cannot seem to remeber which app it was for but there only seemed to be one check box that required ticking to achieve the page turn effect on a brochure that was to be published on the web. Not sure if it was a Dreamweaver eSeminar or InDesign or something else but it looked very simple to achieve.
Does anyone know which Adobe eSeminar it may have been and how do I go about watching the eSeminar again.
Thanks.

Page turns based on template SWF files are part of Captivate, Adobe e-Learning Suite, InDesign and Fireworks AFAIK and are generated using their slideshow features.

Limitations of indesign flash page turner

Hello,
We have a company newsletter that we wish to launch digitally as a document that can be:
a) be viewed as spreads
b) incorporate a realistic page turning action
c) has a zoom function.
InDesign has a function that will turn the PDF into a Flash file where the page turning function works. Unfortunately, there is no zooming option, and when viewers click on the page (the text is too small in this format), it opens up a PDF of that particular side of the spread, defeating the purpose of a special format where you can turn pages realistically. There is a program called Page Turn Pro which incorporates all of these functions, but it is very expensive, at hundreds of dollars per year. Are there any other alternatives out there?
Thanks,
Neal
