PDF with page curl effect

Hi,
I understand that Indesign can produce pdf with page curl effect. what if I only have a pdf file and i want to include the page curl effect? anybody knows what's the quickest way to do this? Is there any way to import multiple pdf pages into Indesign CS5 so that i can republish it from Indesign CS5? or is there any third party software that can do this easily?
thanks in advance

You understand wrong -- the Page Curl is NOT available for exporting to PDF.
See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WSE9637270-6B1C-4287-A97B-0EC73859A3EB.html -- it says "(SWF only)". (Doesn't it also say that in the Transition options dialog?)
With that out of the way,
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
what if I only have a pdf file and i want to include the page curl effect?
See above.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
anybody knows what's the quickest way to do this?
See above.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
Is there any way to import multiple pdf pages into Indesign CS5 so that i can republish it from Indesign CS5? or is there any third party software that can do this easily?
Sure. Search for "Scott Zanelli's PDF Import script".
(... If all you wanted was to get that nice page curl in your PDF, you probably stopped reading already.)

Interactive PDF with page curl

HI there
I am trying to create an interactive pdf with page curl from a book created in indesign CS5 that has multiple chapters. I found out how to do it with one file, however in the export menu for the book there is only the option to export it as a pdf or an epub file. No swf...
thanks

I suppose you are talking about a work-around method where you export your actual layout as SWF and then place that SWF-file back to InDesign and export that as Interactive PDF?
Unfortunately you can use that method properly with 1SWF/1PDF combination only (as you have noticed). And there is no easy way to export multiple indd-files to one SWF.
Your only option is to combine your indd-documents to one indd manually. I think Move Pages tool in Pages panel´s menu is the best tool for that but prepare yourself to face problems with styles, master pages, pagesizes, preferences etc
If I were you, I´d try to find some other way to produce you eMagazine....

InDesign - exporting interactive pdf with page curls issues

I followed a Rufus Deuchler adobe tv video called "InDesign: creating interactive pdfs with page turn and flash animations" and I was able to create an Interactive Pdf document with page culrs but it is limited to only my mac Book Air as when I sent it as an attachment (pdf) it did not work on any other PC or mac.
Have I missed the point or have I not done something as I thought the video mentioned that any adobe reader could view the interactive pdf (ie on other PCs or tablets)?
Thanks
David

Only Adobe Acrobat or Reader can show those PDFs (and many others) correctly. Are you sure that the PDF was opened in one of these 2 applications and not in Apple Preview or Ghostviewer or something else?
Only Adobe Reader 9 and X and Acrobat 9 and X can show PDFs with Flash content correctly. If you have an older version, let us say Version 8 or older, you are not able to see Flash content at all. If you have a newer version, that is Reader XI or Acrobat XI you need additional Adobe Flash player have installed on that computer and allow access to your PDFs. Can you check, if these substantial requirement are fulfilled?

How to create a PDF document with page curls using Adobe CS 4?

My goal is to create a PDF document with page curls. I am using Adobe CS 4.
1.      The document was created in Adobe InDesign CS 4 where the page turn (curl) transition was applied.
2.      Then the document was exported to .swf.
3.     The .swf file was imported into   Adobe Acrobat Pro to create a PDF file with flip page or page curl transitions.
These are the problems.
1.      The background is not transparent.
2.      Page dimensions have to be increased at least an inch in width and length so that the full page can show
3.      The command and+   will not only increases the document's screen size. It increases the page margins.

PDF was never designed to support the Flash page curl effect (it didn't exist back then). Anything you try (and you've tried the standard hack) will look like a hack. Personally, I don't think the effort is worth it for an effect that's much overused.

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.

Export single-page pdfs with page name

I've been looking for a script that:
- exports every page of an indesign file to a seperate single-page pdf (or other filetypes)
- names the pdf with the name of a page -> this is the hard part to find
The reason i could use it: i have a 200+ page file with productspecs. I would like to export every page with the correct productname. (extracting pdfs in acrobat is not a problem, but then i have to manually rename every file)
I'm not sure how to name the pages, as it's not a function in indesign. Ideal would be to be able to "tell" indesign: this textframe = the pagename, so it wouldn't be necessary to label the page seperately.
I'm not a scripter. I searched the forum and found some info on this already, but not a working script including automatic pagenaming.
I did found an old post where someone points to such a script, but i can't find it:
http://www.techplex.net/postsm40018_possible-to-name-pages.html#post40018
Did anyone ever made/found/used such a script?
(btw, a similar script for illustrator artboards would be very useful too!)
Any help appreciated!

scott zanelli made one years ago. does a fantastic job.

Exporting to pdf with page marks and color separations

Hi All.,
I have a requirement to export the current document as PDF file. I am using the export provider with the service registry to export the document as pdf file. The code works successfully. Now I have a requirement where I need to save the pdf with color separations and page marks. First I need some information on what does page marks and color separations actually mean for a pdf file. And second I need to know how this could be achieved. Do I have to set some preferences? I have tried setting preference for color , bleed and it works. But I am not sure whether this satisfies the requirement. I would be thankful if someone would suggest me on the same.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
In my experienced it cant, you can export it to pdf but you dont have the ability to make it fillable, unless doing it manually, from the exported pdf, install an Adobe Professional software to have capability to save data's.

InDesign: Creating interactive PDFs with Page Turn and Flash animations | CSInsider | Design | Adobe TV

This episode gives an answer to a question Rufus hears very frequently: "Can I have page turns and animations created in Adobe InDesign in a PDF?" - The answer is yes. Find out how.
http://adobe.ly/wmHCbl

Not an expert, but would think you still get 508 compliance by the normal PDF reader controls -- the page curls are visual extras only.
I understand these 'techniques' perfectly -- but they sure seem awkward.
- why doesn't InDesign properly emit the combination page turner PDF in one step?
- why doesnt InDesign show the actual background of the embedded Flash animation as it will be, and why doesn't it allow you to set background transparency right there in InDesign, again showing you what the result will be?
I hope this is done in such a straightforward and clear way, in InDesign CS6.

Saving as pdf with pages in correct order.

my magazine is 40 pages, i want to perfect bound this . so obviously i will be only printing 36 pages as a magazine, Then the other 4 pages will be the front/back cover to be attached afterwards.
when i print in indeisgn for perfect bound to my printer, indesign re-arranges the pages in the correct oder so when i fold them they match up.
e.g (4,1 / 2,3 / 8,5 / 6,7 ect) and when its folded up it reads ( 1 / 2,3/ 4,5 / 6,7 / 8 ect)
but since im not using my printer i need the magazine to be printed from a PDF file.
when i save as a pdf it just saves in order (1-36) so when it goes to print its not in the correct order that my magazine needs to be.
could anyone tell me how i can save this in the correct order for perfect bound as a pdf.
if i cant do it so simply could anyone tell me the easiest way to get these pages in the correct order.
thanks

When you send out for commercial printing, that's what you want -- an unimposed PDF consisting of the individual pages. It's the Printer's job to impose them for his equipment, especially for perfect binding which requires a grind-off at the spine.
Most likely the cover (which will need a spine panel) is going to be printed separately on differnt stock, and should probably be prepared as a separate file, but check with the printer.

Links no longer working in PDF with Pages 5

I have links in my Pages 5 document that work in Pages but no longer work in the PDF. They did when this was a Pages 09 file. In Pages 5 I can edit the, test them and everything is fine. Links are useless unless they can be part of the final deocument. Does anyone else have this issue and a work around? I am on Mavericks.

This is just one of over 90 features Apple has removed from Pages 5.

Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Archive/trash Pages 5 and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

When I email an interactive PDF with Page Turn, the receiver opens a blank PDF document.

Hi there,
I am trying to create a digital lookbook for my client. Similar to the one here: http://www.cabionline.com/collection/look-book/
I've created the PDF in Indesign CS6. I exported as a .swf. Then I placed it back into Indesign and exported it as an interactive PDF. I can view the document on my computer and it works fine. But it won't work for anyone that I send it to.
Any thoughts?
Thank you!

This is the forum for Adobe Contribute. I'm not sure how that is involved with this issue.

How do I open PDF with Page?

I bought an Ipad to use at work and bought Page because the sales person said it would do what I need.
I cant open my PDF documents, does anybodu know how?

You cannot open PDF files in Pages. You can save/export Pages documents as PDF files, but you cannot open them in Pages. The salesman was wrong,

How can i have Page Curl and video in same pdf?

I just learn to add Page Curl to a PDF in this video InDesign: Creating interactive PDFs with Page Turn and Flash animations | CSInsider | Design | Adobe TV. but when i do it now the video i have in the PDF wont start. Is ther a way that i can have both Page Curl and a Working video in the same PDF ?

Sorry, you are insisting in a functionality which is NOT supposed to work and will not work in some rare exceptions. It makes no sense to say I will that it works this and that way, when it does not work,, because this functionality is explicit not supported.
With Acrobat 9 and X it was possible to use SWF without extra Flashplayer on Computers, but with XI it will not work without Flashplayer,
It will never work with computer without Flashplayer installed or on any Android or iOS.
If you implement it, you must have first no-one-needs-it curly effect, and after it is done change to another page where with a page action will run a movie. But this will not work with many users.
Why do you want to have this effect, if you know that a lot of users will not able to see it? Even yourself will experience problems, when you try it on a different computer which has a different capability.

How do I add a poster to a page curl/turn PDF in InDesign 2014?

I have created a two-page Christmas card for my company. I used the Adobe TV video to see how to create a SWF file with page curl to import into an InDesign file and keep page turn in a PDF.
The only problem is that I can't find how to use the first page of the card as a poster for the PDF; when receivers see the file at the moment, they get is the image below, a screen-filling image with a SWF icon in the corner with a button that says 'activate here' which looks ugly.
In the Adobe TV video which uses an older version of InDesign, it's easy to see how to set a page as the poster but in InDesign 2014, I can't see how it's done.
Any suggestions? Thanks for reading this.

I strongly suggest you rethink any use of SWF. Most emails are opened on mobile devices today and that mean no flash.
Add to that many people don't even have it installed on desktops anymore.

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.
