Pdf buttons not working when pdf loads in browser

hi
I have a pdf with buttons which work fine. Once pdf is put on our website and you click on it, it opens in firefox ok but none of the buttons work.
Safari, chrome - work

The road to hell is paved with good intentions... FF wanted to provide their users an easy-to-use, built-in PDF viewer, which is good. Problem is that developing a fully compatible PDF viewer is a very complex task that requires a lot of time and effort, so they decided (it seems) to settle for something that's "good enough". So now users are stuck with something that usually does an OK job when it comes to just displaying a simple PDF file, but as soon as you have a more complex file (for example, one with form fields) it breaks down entirely and either fails to load the file at all, or does so incorrectly, and the developers are left sorting out the mess...

Hyperlinks to pdf files not working when project is exported out as SWF and uploaded to server

hI all
I'm using CS5 and i have hyperlinks to pdf files in my indesign project. However when i export to SWF, although the links work locally, they do not work when i upload all the relevant folders and files and test it from a server the links to the pdfs can not be found, the error messages indicates its looking for the files on my hard drive. I have also noticed that if i copy all the relevant folders and files and exported swf to a different directory and then launch swf from there the links do not work there either.
Other than seperately uploading each pdf indvidually on to the server and then creating a hyperlink to it from the local indesign project i don't know what else to do.
Any advice much appreciated.

I have your same problem, but didn't consider uploading the PDFs and then linking to them. I'm willing to try it. Let me know if you ever found a better way, ok?
Thanks.

Layered menu buttons not working when built.

I have a project that has one menu and one track. The menu has 7 buttons linked to 7 different markers in the track. When I run the simulation in DVD SP, the buttons link fine, and play as they should...but when I build the project and run it in DVD player or burn it to a disk, the buttons do not work.
If I create a non-layered menu, the buttons will work when built...
I feel like i'm just missing one little setting on the layered menu
Thanks
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Don't forget that a layered menu will normally need two presses to get anything to happen, one to select the button and the second to activate it.
That said, are you sure that you have got the psd file set up correctly? I would recommend using a background layer with everything on it that you want to appear when not selected, then only adding layers with the changes necessary to show the button selection/activation.

SP2013: OK button not working when editing Settings on List app

Hi, all! Currently running Sharepoint 2013 under Server 2008 R2. My client is Win7 Pro/64-bit running lastest Firefox, Chrome & IE11. I am currently a Domain Admin for our corp domain.
Long story short, I've created a test List app. When I attempt to add a column to the layout of the custom list app, nothing happens when I click the OK button to save the app. No access spinning, no errors on-screen (also none visible when I view
the source of the SP page or header), no nothing. The highlight of the button changes as expected, but nothing else. The Cancel button will Cancel as expected, but OK does nothing whatsoever.
My current permissions include member of Domain Admins, Site Owners (Full Control), and Visitors (Read). A Check Permissions on myself yield the following:
Full Control | Given through the "~site~ Owners" group.
Read | Given through the "~site~ Visitors" group.
Edit | Given through the "~site~ Members" group.
(Note: "~site~" is replacing the actual SP2013 site name above)
I'm thinking it has something to do with effective permissions. I just added myself to the Owners group this morning with no effect. I've also tried both Compatibility mode on and off in IE, and Firefox and Chrome don't work, either. Suggestions
are most welcome as I'm at the point where I'm not sure if IE11 is causing a problem or if it's actually an effective permissions problem that's preventing me from saving any column changes to the List app above.
Thanks, guys!
Steve

Hi Steve,
From your description, my understanding is that OK button does not work when you create a new column.
Please check if you get any JS error after you click OK button by pressing F12 to OP developer tool.
Besides, please try to create a new column with steps below:
1.
Click LIST tab in the Ribbon.
2.
Click Create Column in Mange Views section.
3.
Create your column in the dialog.
4.
Click OK button.
In addition, please confirm these points below:
1.
Test your issue in another list.
2.
Test your issue with another computer.
3.
Test your issue with another account.

Vincent Han

Buttons not working when viewing .pdf on tablet...

I created a .pdf to view on a tablet. My links are working, but the buttons I created are not.
For example, Button 1 is supposed to take the user back to page 1, but touching the button does nothing.
Help!
Thanks!

If you're using the free Adobe Reader, it currently doesn't support buttons.
You need to get a paid 3rd party PDF reader. PDF Expert should work for you.

Interactive PDF - Buttons stop working when emailed

Hi there,
I have made an interactive PDF using InDesign CC.
I've checked in preview and once saved and all the buttons work and take me to the correct URL.
Once I email the PDF the buttons do not work, in fact they don't not even come up in the email. Please help!

The images that I have made in to buttons are not there once emailed.
I am aiming to send out a company newsletter and the buttons are for social media.
So I want to embed the PDF in to an email, and when you click on the Facebook, twitter etc icons I want it to take you to the correct social media pages.
I have set up the buttons correctly in InDesign as they work when I view the PDF, but once its emailed ( I sent it to myself as a test) the buttons are not there

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.

Scrowing with touchpad not working when pdf file is opened in one of the the browsers tabs

When I have a .pdf open from one of the browser's tabs I am not able to scroll with my touch pad in the rest of the browser's tabs. Once I close the tab with the pdf everything is working fine. I using Firefox on my Toshiba Satellite Pro laptop.

Hi NSHS,
Have you checked to see if your PDF add-on is up to date? You should take a look at the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] Knowledge Base article. There is a lot of good information in there. You should try both of the suggested PDF add-ons to see if that fixes the issue.
Hopefully this helps!

Javascript not working when pdf is rendered in the browser IE9

I have a javascript on the initialize event of a field and it works fine when doing a Preview PDF but not when i render the PDF in the browser
if(F.Page_1.field1.rawValue == null)
F.Page_1.field1.presence = "invisible";
F.Page_1.field2.presence = "visible";
Can some one pelase help?
Thanks,
F.Page_1.field1::initialize - (JavaScript, client)

Hi,
The initialize event is supported in browsers, but the issue may be if the form is saved as a Dynamic XML Form in the save-as dialog in LC Designer. Or if you using LC Enterprise Suite to render the forms at runtime, if you have set the render in LC Designer: File > Form Properties > Defaults to Dynamic XML Form:
Changing an object's presence requires a dynamic form.

Buttons not working when implimented using Adobe Configurator

Hi there, i recently learned about a new program called Adobe Configurator, which allows you to build your own custom panels for Photoshop. The program is brilliant, a brilliant idea, and all seems to work perfectly. However, its connection to Photoshop in only two buttons that i have tried to use, seems to fail.
I set up two of my custom buttons to follow the path of "File > Share My Screen...", and the other to follow the path of "File > Device Central...". However, weather i have a document opened or not, these buttons never work. I get the error message saying "The command "Select" is not currently avalible.". It says this with other buttons, but only when there is nothing open, so it is understandable. So do these buttons just not work, or am i doing it wrong?
Thanks.

That's a limitation of many PDF readers on the iPad. They don't support interactivity well. There are a few that do. Here's a posting on InDesignSecrets.com that I did on the subject of differences between PDF readers:
http://indesignsecrets.com/finding-the-best-tablet-pdf-reader.php
My favorite is PDF Expert. However, I later found I had to outline the type if I used them in an InDesign-created button.

Exit button not working when entering wrong date

how do I get the message not to appear by day Invalid (Frm-50004) in forms

dear Shrikant,
i have one item start_date whose data type is Date and format mask is DD/MM/RRRR ,
when i m entering worng date it is showing below message which i kept on ON-ERROR trigger of start_date item with an error code 50004 ;
"FRM-50004: Day must be between 1 and last of month."
as i m entering wrong date i want to exit my form but my exit button is not working properly.
The message appears several times, about 3 or 4 times, because the focus is on the text item to the date, and is firing the trigger ON-ERROR, debugging the code, you notice that after the message back running the line "IF", because the error frm-50004 can not be erased, is giving this error all the time because the focus is on her text item!
i have kept my push buttons mouse and keyboard navigation property to "NO".
then also it is not working tell me if any solution is there.

XML Data Button Not working when Exported onto BusinessObjectEnterprise

I have an XML data button on a dashboard. It works fine in preview and on web. It does not work if it is exported onto Business Object server using XCelsius' Export to BusinessObjectEnterprise.
In the InfoView, I double click on the flash file, the flash files opens as expected, but when XML Data button is clicked, no new data seem to come in...
If I export as Adobe file, and then post it onto the server, and view it using Info View, the XML data button works just fine.
Please advise.

Hi All,
Even I have similar requirement.
Any work around is appreciable.
Thanks

Webutil_host.blocking is not working when an existing Chrome browser is already open

Hi Everyone,
I've a small issue which I would like to share with you and hopefully you might have come across this problems before and assist me to resolve it.
The problem is I'm using Oracle Forms [32 Bit] Version 11.1.2.0.0 (Production) version and in one of the Form's button I'm calling an external API to display the image in a Chrome browser and once it completes, it would return control back to the Oracle Form. In the ideal situation where there isn't any existing Chrome browser opened, the logic would work perfectly as I was using the webutil_host.blocking command that block Form processing until the Chrome browser is terminated. However, as soon as I have one or more existing Chrome browsers open, I was still able to call the external API to display the image but the locking or blocking of the Oracle Form would not work. By the way, all clients accessing the oracle Forms are using Window 7. Is that a solution for that? Is that a Chrome, OS or/and WebUtil issue? Thank you for your assistance and time.
Regards,
John

Hello,
does anyone have any thoughts on this or a workaround?
We use the blocking feature to allow the user to make changes to the document and then restore those changes to the database. Without this feature the code falls through and breaks the link between the document and the forms application.
appreciate all help

Button not working on PDF

I've a button which should add instance of a subform on click event using following script -
xfa.host.messageBox("adding instance", "Warning", 3);
Detail.Blank_Page.ItemSet.instanceManager.addInstance(1);
Detail.Blank_Page.execInitialize();
When I click the button, the script is getting executed as I put Messages to see that, but the subform instances do not get added :-(.
I've also added following code to the wdDoModify event of my Web Dynpro view-
IWDInteractiveForm form = (IWDInteractiveForm)view.getElement("InteractiveForm2");
form.setDynamicPDF(true);
In one of the threads I read that, if we open the XDP file in designer and check the "Dynamic Form" property, it might help.
File -> Form Properties -> Default tab -> Dynamic Form
I set this property and save the XDP form. Now, when I rebuilt and deploy my Web Dynpro project again, I went and checked this property-
it was re-set.
I am near frustration as I've done possibly everything that I read on this forum.
Please help me to get this working.
My platform is as follows-
NWDS4 - SP18
Adobe LifeCycle Designer - 7.0
Adobe Reader - 7.0.9
Internet Explorer 6.0
Server has SP21
Thanks,
Vimukta

Hi Vimukta,
Little late in replying to your post. I tried to generate the PDF using the same XDP template sent by you.
It is working perfectly fine for me.
Can you please verify the code you have written on the WDDoModifyView method ? Just check the form element name once again.
I know you might have done it but just double check on this.
//@@end
public static void wdDoModifyView(IPrivateCreateView wdThis, IPrivateCreateView.IContextNode wdContext, com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDView view, boolean firstTime)
    //@@begin wdDoModifyView
if(firstTime){
   IWDInteractiveForm iForm = (IWDInteractiveForm)view.getElement("InteractiveForm1");
   iForm.setDynamicPDF(true);
    //@@end
Step to debug :
1. Try in another desktop, try to access the same URL where you have adobe reader 8.1 is installed.
2. Just create one sample PDF with 2/3 fields and try to hide those fields on click of checkbox throgh java script. let me know if that is working or not.
3. May be you have problem with the "ReaderRights" Please check your Adobe credentials.
Actually i have tried with WebAS versiion 7.0 SP10.
I just think there is mnor problem with ADS configuration.
Cheers
Satya
