Possible to attach an Interactive pdf to DPS ? ( & Keep the interactivity alive )

Hi,
Is it possible to open an interactive pdf from an DPS app and keep the interactive alive
( buttons /textboxses /submit / send to email ) ?
I know how to make an zip-folder and link to the document form a button ( HTMLResources/filename.pdf )
But the pdf is flatten , and the document is useless for my purpose.
It would be great if this worked, and Adobe DPS could be even more handy than it is to day
I know it's also possible to import html to indesign, and I have tried to make a form in Dreamwaver.
The form looks nice on the Ipad & the buttons/ text fields works. But when I press submit ( mailto url )  the email opens.. But no data follows.
( Might be something wrong with the form of course )
If I could link to Adobe Reader ( where the document already exist ) from the DPS-app.. that could be an solution/ and the interactivity works in Reader..
But I haven't found any way to do that.
My wish for the DPS of the future is that it would be more like MUSE. More options/ menus and no coding
If someone have any good ideas on this issue, please let me know.

Hi, after my first post in this issue I have solved the problem my self.
The answer is to use Dreamweaver.
1. Create an form with all the information you need in Dreamweaver. Be aware of the pixel value of the form, should not be larger than the Ipad
Import the HTML into Indesign (Object /import HTML )
If the form is larger than the Ipad - You can resize the imported html "frame" and use scale to fit in the web content menu.
But in this way you don't have 100 % control of what your doing.
After you imported the code in Indesign, and used the settings you like in web Content ( Folio Overlays ) Upload the DPS article as usual.
2. Another way is to create an HTML article, where you import a folder with all files the form consist of ( Pictures, CSS and the HTML form  )
A lot more you can do in this way like dropdown menues, fading images ++ . But is a bit more complicated workflow. So go for nr. 1

  • How do I create a button in an interactive PDF, which will forward the PDF via email?

    Hi,
    So, I have an interactive pdf, with a share button. This button goes to the correct mail program and fills in the subject field.
    But I can't find out how you can add the pdf as an attachment in that e-mail.
    Thanks
    Indy

    Hey vanhaelst,
    You need to have Adobe Acrobat/Reader to attach PDF as an email attachment.
    Select 'Send file as email attachment' icon from the toolbar (as shown below):
    Hope this helps.

  • Interactive PDF forms linked in the article to appear in the folio

    Can I make an interactive PDF form that can be used in the folio via linking or some other way. I need this book to have a review area with question that can be answered. and since you can create nifty forms in InDesign now, I was wondering if this new form feature can be used in a book you create with the Folio building options.
    I have linked a PDF but text imput was not present in the app

    Yeah, that is what I suspected as well.  My question is, how force all fields to use the "private version", rather than embedding so I can correct these large files?
    I managed to come across another thread on the forum that you commented on a while back.  You suggested running a script, which I attempted (and resulted in error)
    The thread: Set default font type and size in formcreated using Acrobat X Pro
    for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i++) {
        var fName = getNthFieldName(i);
        var f = getField(fName);
        if (f.type === "text") {
            f.textFont = font.Arial;
            // Other properties go here
    InvalidSetError: Set not possible, invalid or unknown.
    Field.textFont:7:Console undefined:Exec
    I feel like I'm getting closer to resolving this.. I'm glad I at least understand the issue now.  It's been puzzling me for a month.

  • Is there a plug-in for Indesign Interactive PDF buttons which simulates the same control as Acrobat?

    I want to know if there is a third party out there making plug-ins for Indesign CS6 specifically for interactive PDF buttons and forms which allows for better control over text boxes.... ie. date formatting, 1-10 characters per text boxes, etc.

    Not that I've heard of. You'll have to tweak those features in Acrobat Pro.

  • 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.

  • Is it possible to have an attachment within a pdf doc print at the same time the main doc prints?

    Okay, so this may be kind of a weird question.  We have some users who are wanting to add a page to an already existing xml document and correct me if I'm wrong, but I've read that it's not possible to add/delete pages from a pdf that's in xml format.  Since that is not possible, I have added the page to the xml document as an attachment.  Now what I am wanting to know is if it is possible to have the attachment print out at the same time as the main document.  We are using the latest version of Adobe Reader and I have access to Adobe Acrobat Standard 9 & 10 and then I have access to Adobe Acrobat Pro 7.  I've been unable to find anyting via google or by searching this forum so hopefully I'll draw out some kind of smart cookies and we'll get this figured out.  I appreciate any and all input!
    Thanks,

    I know of no way to do this with Reader or XML.

  • Is it possible to attach audio to a clip? Like the opposite of "detach" audio.

    Newbie here.
    I took an audio track from a video and edited it outside of FCPX. Now I want to drop it back into my projet and replace the clip's audio with the imrpoved audio track.
    I know it's possible to deatch audio, but can I merge it to the clip so it doesn't become mis-matched when I'm editing? Thanks.

    Just drag it and place it under the clip.
    It will stick to the clip wherever you move it.
    Alternatively select the clip and audio and make them into a Compound Clip.

  • PDF TO FLASH Keeping the size around 180kb

    Our company has lined up to produce a number of E-Brochures
    Quickly as opposed to our old method of inserting each individual
    image and copy and pasting the text from PDF, we have been looking
    for a way of converting page by page of a PDF file into a single
    flash swf that has to be around the 180kb size, i have directly
    imported a page into flash 8 then duplicated that page and put it
    into the page flip component, the size of each file is 340kb and
    the page flip struggles with it, i need the text to go in as text
    so that it keeps its quality on the zoom and the images to all go
    in in good quality also for the sake of the zoom! have tried using
    indesign CS4 and that loses quality in the pictures, have tried
    inseting the whole page as JPEG that loses alot of quality, have
    tried these websites which do it for you, but we need to do it
    ourselves so we can actually have the FLA file as we need to set it
    to certain styles for other companies, have tried printing to SWF
    that was just rubbish quality was worst of everything i have tired,
    have tried PDF to SWF converter, that just didnt help as gave me an
    swf file which when decompiled came out as rubbish aswell, now kind
    of lost, if someone could help me as quick as possible, this is an
    URGENT matter
    Thanks for your time in reading this any help would be
    greatly apriciated!
    Jay

    Why 180kb ?
    There is NO WAY you will get your filesize to 180kb.
    How pages is the PDF file ?
    We may have a solution. We are currently in beta of solution
    that allows you
    tdo this. It will try a SWF from PDF file in vector form and
    not images.

  • How do you delete part of a PDF file and keep the rest

    If I want to keep page 2 but not pages 1 or 3...how do I do that?

    Possible with Adobe Acrobat, not Adobe Reader.

  • Preview: Save as PDF while approximately keeping the file size ?

    Hello!
    I know that several good discussions took place about the way to reduce the file size when saving (as) a PDF from the application Preview.
    I tried:
    • the default poor quality "Reduce File Size" preset filter,
    • the additional filters provided by Jérôme Colas (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6250289)
    • the "Compress PDF Workflow 4.0" that reenables feature for Leopard (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/compresspdfworkflow.html)
    Has anyone come across a method to _keep in about the *original size*_ of the original Adobe PDF ?
    When saving a 3 MB PDF with Preview, I see it increase to 80 MB, so that dramatically reducing it to 40MB is not really satisfying, is it?
    Thank you in advance for any suggestion !

    Bernd, thank you for your attempt to help but the option dialog windows do not contain the same options.  There are numerous other posts on this forum about this issue and there is no answer.  Clearly, there is an issue.  I have submitted this issue to our internal help desk.

  • Why does PDF export not keep the layout as the indd file?

    I have a 132-page book ready to upload for printing. It says in the pages panel 132 pages in 67 spreads. There are no sections, chapters or automatic page numbers. When I create a pdf, the (intentional) blank page that is supposed to be page 2 (on the left side of the first spread) moves itself to the position of page 1 (supposed to print on the right as very first printed page). This, in turn, puts page 1 on the left and pulls the rest of the pages in the book off, ruining the spreads. Any ideas as to why this is happening? Thanks!

    High-Quality Print is for outputting to office printers. There are a number of Press-ready settings - ask your printer which one to use.
    In the meantime: Open your mis-flowed document in Acrobat and under Page Display, see if Show Cover Page in Two Page View is checked. If not, check it and see if that fixes the problem.

  • Load interactive pdf with data from database

    I am trying to understand our options for loading database data into an interactive pdf..?   Some of the data is not stored in the database and needs to be manually entered by the user in the interactive pdf.
    Here is the interactive pdf I'm working with:
    http://www.dcma.mil/dcman/NPP/files/dd1149.pdf
    As I understand it, there are 2 options:
    1.  Create an xml file from the database data.   Users can manually import this xml file into this existing interactive pdf and then manually add the additional data, and save the interactive pdf.
    Would users need to use Adobe acrobat Standard or Pro edition to import the xml data?
    2.  Create a XFA PDF form that's made with LiveCycle Designer.   Can this method create an interactive pdf so that users can enter additional data later and save the pdf?  
       What adobe products are required to use this method?
    thanks for any assistance..
    -D

    Yes,using LiveCycle you could accomplish this easily.Once you have your invoice form ready based on predefined XSD, you can easily update the form data by fetching the values from database using JDBC operation.Also you could email this updated form using Email service.
    Thanks,

  • Exporting Interactive PDF

    Been trying to export an Interactive PDF but non of the interactive elements work. I've implemented simple roll-overs for a few images, and when I view it in preview it all works fantastic, however once I export the Interactive PDF non of the interactivity works.
    This is the first time i've worked using Interactive PDF's and i'm pulling my hair out trying to troubleshoot this issue without much luck finding any revelant information online.

    What version of InDesign? What kind of interactivity are you creating?
    Be aware that some forms of interactivity do not work in Interactive PDF. Animations and Object States do not work.
    You should be able to do buttons, page transitions, hyperlinks, bookmarks, media (video and audio if you choose the correct format).
    There is a workaround for animations and object states: You can export them as a SWF file, then place them into the InDesign file and export PDF.
    BTW, there is a lot of information in the InDesign Help file. Start there.

  • How do I create an interactive PDF file in InDesign CS6 with Folio Overlays?

    I have been trying to export an interactive PDF file using InDesign CS6. It exports fine, and all the content works except for the Folio Overlays I created. I created two Folio Overlays (one Pan & Zoom and one Scrollable Frame). The overlays work if I preview them from the Folio Overlays panel, but they do not work on the PDF document.
    I am using File >> Export... to create the PDF document, and I am sure the PDF document is of the interactive type and not the print type. Am I exporting it incorrectly? Is there a specific step that I have missed somewhere? Do I need to create a Folio Build to make the Folio Overlays work?
    When I mouse over the Folio Overlays, I get the crosshair cursor which only selects part of the image when I click and drag it.

    PDF is one thing. Folios for DPS is another. There is a little bit of
    overlap but not much.
    The interactivity in the folio overlays panel is for DPS only.
