Preview and scrollable text problems

Is anyone else having problems getting the scrollable text function to work in an overlay to a fixed layout ePub? I have the latest version of InDesign CC, purchased last week.
Here is a picture of my file. As you can see, it's pretty darn simple. Content box is on the right. You can't see the entire box but It is long enough to fit all of my text. On the left, I created a container box, wider but shorter than the content box. I then selected the content and used Paste Into to put the content into the container. Next, I selected the container, went to Folio Overlays, and I designated the content box as vertical scrolling, start at upper left, and Vector format. But when when I tried to preview it (more on preview problems in a minute), the container appears as a simple text box with no scrolling capability. I've asked the Adobe help people and they don't seem to have any ideas yet.
As far as preview goes, well, I can export to Adobe Digital Editions or I can look at the page in Window/Interactive/EPUB Interactivity Preview. But File/Folio Preview just processes the page and then returns nothing. And the same thing happens when I hit Preview in the Folio Overlays panel.
I'd love to know if this is unique to my system or a common problem. Since I only purchased CC to produce annotated books, there is not much I can do without it. And if CC doesn't do it, does anyone have a suggestion for something a non-programmer could use to get the same result?
Thanks for any help.

Scrollable frames are a DPS -- Digital Publishing Suite-- function (as are all other effects from the Folio Overlay panel). Those are a different beast than Fixed-Layout EPUBs.
For fixed-layout, all interactivity is supported (any panel in the Windows > Interactive flyout) except for Forms, Page Transitions, and the two Animation presets Smoke and Blur. Note that the panels Folio Builder and Folio Overlays are not part of the Interactive group of panels.
I know it's very confusing!
If you're trying to create an *app* then you use DPS, and you should be asking this question in the DPS forum.

If you're trying to create an *ebook* then this is the forum to post in.

  • Preview and Adobe fonts problem/missing in PDF

    I have a PDF document that doesn't show some fonts. The PDF was displaying fine on preview and then all of the sudden the next day it got messed up. I didn't performed any update or installed any new app. The problem persists in both Preview app and Adobe Reader; at least Adobe tells me: "Cannot find or create the font 'BYGBIR+Helvetica-12-0'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." Here's a screen shot of what it looks like.

    L Huffman,
    First of all, Welcome to the Discussions!
    Try to select one of files in question by clicking once and then press the key combo command + i or go to the File menu and select Get Info.
    Once the Get Info pane is open drop down (if not already in the open position) the disclosure triangle next to "Open with:" and change the application that will open "this" file. To change all files of the type make sure to click on the "Change All" button.
    That should do it....post back if that is not what you are trying to do.

  • Upgraded to Adabe 10.1x reader and drag and drop text problems

    I cannot drag and drop text from my saved PDF files to word files or for example, into online forms since upgrading to Adobe new reader version today. How can this problem be resolved?

    So after a month of trying to figure all this out I FINALLY fixed the problem!
    Before you do anything just go to your destop > right click personalize (this is for windows 7 - might be different for XP; I honestly forgot, but same idea) > find "window color" > select "advance appearance settings
    (I think can be found by just typing "window color and appearance" in the search from the start menu).
    Finally select "active title bar" (If the font is SEGOE UI, then following the link is the best thing to do; IF ITS NOT, I would think you can just follow the same steps and modify accordingly to how you want your fonts to look in iTunes). http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-desktop/how-to-change -system-default-font-in-all-parts/dfce15db-7337-420a-a42e-517521a8502e
    Hopefully this helps!!! Worked for me!

  • 4S Touchscreen, Orientation and Speak Text problems?

    Hello my Fellow Nerds and/or iPhone lovers,
    I have been having a number of problems using my touch screen on the iPhone 4S and I'm not sure if it's directly a hardware problem or simply I don't know how to use it. It seems as though when I make an attempt to select a single word and make the desired edit that more or less text happens to get selected. Same problem with paragraphs or other amounts of text as well that I am not able to select what I wish.
    The main areas I've been using that feature is in Notes app, email messages and places just like here where I'm editing the text as I make my post. In The Notes App I don't know why but sometimes I'm getting a keyboard when I don't want it and sometimes I can't seem to correctly edit the text.
    Just checking to see if anyone out there has had similar problems as well. I think this has something to do with the iOS 7 upgrade or simply that I don't know how to use my iPhone. I have just recently started using it much more for editing text. Maybe it's simply that I need a refresher on the screen use and editing text so if you happen to know a good Apple webpage or another link just let me know about that if you could.
    My other issue that's ongoing that the screen orientation is flipping when I don't have the phone in that position. Again I think this is something to do with iOS 7 but perhaps not since is a new issue and I have never had problems with that in the past.
    Part of the editing/screen orientation is related also to do with speaking text. Once text is selected, I don't always get the speak text button or when I try to touch the button it barfs out on me going through the small menu that you navigate.

  • Fixed Column and Scrollable JTable problems

    I've implemented a table that has the first column fixed, while 2nd to end are scrollable.
    following the fixedModel examples, i am able to get this working..but im not able to update it. the exmples tho, subclass AbstractTableModel and use anonymous classes to define it...mine uses a class that subclasses DefaultTableModel..but DefaultTableModel subclasses AbstractTableModel...so i think it should be ok.
    i have 2 table models, one for the fixed, and one for the scrollable..they use the same data/column arrays...then i create 2 tables that with these models...
    initially i have no data Object[][] data = new Object[0][0]) and a bunch of column names
    it works fine..but i have trouble updating it with real data
    i use fixedModel.setDataVector(...) and scrollModel.setDataVector(...) to update...but it doesnt work..i dont get any exceptions or anything..just nothing comes up...revalidating the tables doesnt work
    if i choose not to use the fixed/scrollable tables..and just use one normal table with setDataVector..it works fine
    any ideas?
    heres the code:
    fixedModel = new SortableTableModel() {
        /*  for sorting to work correctly  */
        public Class getColumnClass(int col) {
           return getValueAt(0, col).getClass();
        public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col) {
            return false;
        //new methods
        public int getColumnCount() {
            return 1;
        public int getRowCount() {
            return data.length;
        public String getColumnName(int col) {
            return (String)columnNames[col];
        public Object getValueAt(int row, int col) {
            return data[row][0];
    fixedModel.setDataVector(data,columnNames);
    scrollModel = new SortableTableModel() {
        public Class getColumnClass(int col) {
            return getValueAt(0, col).getClass();
        public boolean CellEditable(int row, int col) {
            return false;
        //new methods
        public int getColumnCount() {
            return columnNames.length -1;
        public int getRowCount() {
            return data.length;
        public String getColumnName(int col) {
            return (String)columnNames[col+1];
        public Object getValueAt(int row, int col) {
            return data[row][col+1];
        public void setValueAt(Object obj, int row, int col) {
            data[row][col +1] = obj;
    scrollModel.setDataVector(data, columnNames);
    ListSelectionModel lsm = fixedTable.getSelectionModel();
    lsm.addListSelectionListener(new SelectionListener(true));
    lsm = scrollTable.getSelectionModel();
    lsm.addListSelectionListener(new SelectionListener(false));
    fixedTable.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);
    scrollTable.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);
    JViewport viewport = new JViewport();
    viewport.setView(fixedTable);
    viewport.setPreferredSize(fixedTable.getPreferredSize());i really need to get this fixed..thanks for the help!

    i fixed the problem a couple days ago
    my anonymous class for the fixed and scrollable table models defines the data given from a 2D Object array..and not a vector of vectors, which i was using when setting the data :P
    oops...
    thanks for the help tho.

  • List and justified text problems

    I'm creating a PDF that uses justified text for all paragraphs and centered headers. One of the problems I'm having is that if the last sentance in a paragraph contains just a few words, it ends up far to spaced out. It ends up looking rediculous, in extreme cases there is a word against the left margine and one against the right margin. How do I limit the space allowed between words?
    Second, how do I creat a numbered list without it indenting the left margin of the paragraph that comes after each number? I need the number to be indented, just as you would indent the first sentance of a paragraph, but the rest of the justified text needs to have the same left margin as the non-numbered paragraphs.
    Third, how do I keep the space between the number and the text the same with justified text? As it is now, it changes to acount for the number of charicters in the line of text. I aso need to keep the distance for number to left margin the same, I'm just pressing the tab button twice right now. I'm not using the list function right now because of the margine issues, I'm just including the number in the text.

    1. To prevent the last line of text from spacing out, make sure you use a hard return at the end of the last sentence in the paragraph. That marks it as the end of a paragraph, and Buzzword won't try to justify the last line of what it recognizes as a paragraph.
    2. You can use the ruler to adjust the indents and margins for paragraphs. For more details, open up the Help documentation, click on Buzzword tips (it's under Using Buzzword on the left), then click on Editing, then select the first item -- How do I create indents. It's a little tricky, but I think that you'll find that it provides the control you're looking for. Note that when you're adjusting the formatting of list paragraphs, all paragraphs in that list that are at the same list level will have the same paragraph formatting.
    3. I think that if you use the paragraph formatting (via the ruler, as noted in #2) and the list functionality, the problem of the inter-character spacing will go away.
    Hope this is helpful!

  • Preview and PDF: Text such as headlines are sometimes garbled

    On occasion when I read PDF document some text gets garbled up. If I open the same find in Acrobat there are no issues.
    I've tried to figure out how to report this but there seems to be nothing on Apple's support site regarding Preview at all.
    It looks like the text is displaying one character on top of another.

    Same problem here. Usually a restart helps. Sometimes one PDF doc will be garbled, another time not.
    One thing I have noticed... how are you creating the PDF documents? I can see from the above post, one person created them in Windows. This might be the problem: the PDF engine used to generate the PDFs. I have been testing company invoices generated by a 3rd party FMP database, and now, just out of the blue, the pdf invoices render as garbled in Apple Mail and garbled when opened in Preview. Sure enough, when opened in Adobe, they render perfectly.
    I don't know, however, if this is an issue with a non-Apple PDF generator, as I am not sure if my database system is using Apple's engine or something else...

  • Thumbnail images, bigger images and some text PROBLEM

    Unclear title, with an unclear problem.
    What I'm wanting to do is, when I click on a thumbnail image, I want the content in the DIV on the right to change accordingly to display the image and information relating to the thumbnail you have just clicked. I'm using Dreamweaver CS5 on MAC:
    - I have a page split into 2 vertical columns. On the left I have 6 thumbnail images in their individual DIVs, wrapped all together in another DIV container
    - on the right of the page I have assigned a large DIV to display a big image with a description underneath of what the project was etc...
    I know you can attach a behaviour to the thumbnail to change the big image on the right, but I have a short paragraph of text below the big image too, and I don't particularly want to make the image and text one huge image. I want to keep the text, text.
    How do I do it? Is this a simple thing? or is there a lot of coding to do this with JQuery or Javascript or something? Is there something to do with Data record sets involved?
    Is there a way of doing it that when you click on the thumbnail that it can load the relevant image and text into the DIV on the right?
    Sorry if it's not clearly explained, not sure how to do it, therefore not sure if I'm describing it properly.
    As always, all help and advice very welcome.

    Hi Murray,
    Here is a screenshot of the page in question.
    - On the left are the thumbBox DIVS, (shown here, "thumbBox1")
    - On the right there is a main container, "galleryDisplay"
    - Within "galleryDisplay" there is a DIV for the large image, "galleryDisplayImage", and another DIV to display a paragraph of information on the project, "galleryDisplayInfo".
    Just to repeat, I want that when you click on the "thumbBox1", that the content of "galleryDisplayImage" and "galleryDisplayInfo" change in accordance to the thumbnail clicked.
    Murray *ACP* wrote:
    The easy way to do this is to have each click on the thumbnail change the display Property of a container (containing both the image and the caption) from "none" to "block".  In the column on the right, just line up a series of divs, each containing the desired image+caption, and use DW's Chage Property behavior on a null link surrounding the thumbnail.  For example, a thumbnail image:
    <a href="#" onClick="MM_changeProp('image-caption1','','display','block','DIV'); return false"><img src="path_to_thumb.jpg" width="165" height="50"></a>
    Each click on a thumb would also have to change the display Property of all other image-caption containers to "none".
    I don't understand what I have to do with the relevant large image and text. You say to "line up a series of divs"... I don't understand. Where do I "store" the image and text combinations for each project? I can understand how an image can be loaded into the image div, but how and from where do I load in the html text with css applied into the info div?
    Can I change the content of 2 separate divs from one click?
    Sorry for not being overly clear, but I can't get my head round this.
    Thanks for your help. I'm sure I'll get there in the end with your expertise.

  • Getting files from a business that uses Photoshop CS6. I use CS3 and have text problems

    Hi, I'm getting files from a business that uses Photoshop CS6. I use CS3 and when I edit the text, the text moves to a different location even off screen.
    Anyone know how to fix this?
    It makes it hard to copy the text and imposible to change the color or make corrections.
    This just started when they went to Photoshop CS6.
    Thanks,

    Ask the folks supplying you with files whether they've updated to the latest version...  There were problems with Photoshop CS6 13.0.0. saving text layers in jumbled-up fashion.

  • Nokia N95 send and recieve text problems

    I have just bought the Nokia N95 and am not able to send or receive text messages. I can make calls, so I know that the service provider is correct.
    I also phoned the help service of my provider who took me through the settings of network selection but it still won’t send or receive messages.
    My messages I write go to out box but just display as failed. They also just display the number for the contact and not the name.
    I don’t yet have a micro SD card installed so am reliant on the SIM and internal memory. From what I see the memory is not full either.
    Am I missing something?
    I’ve done this for settings: Main menu – Tools – Settings – Phone – Network – Operator selection – Options – Change – Manual – then it Searches – I choose anything other than my provider such as O2 or Tmobile and it says not allowed – then I choose my provider which it gives me confirmation of my home provider. I switch off the phone and then back on again so I am on the correct network. Still can’t send or receive any texts.
    Has anyone had this happen to them and do you have the solution?
    Many thanks

    Your message center is provably not configured correctly. Go to message setting then message center. Ask your provider what is the message center number or get someone who have the same provider as you are & note down the message center & put it in your phone. If the message center is correct, you'll provably have software problem. Backup your phone & format your phone. Codes are in the sticky tread for codes.

  • N82 Animated SMS and Predictive Text Problems

    I've just got a new N82 and think it's a great phone. I downloaded and installed the Animated SMS program from Nokia's software site and have a couple of problems! The first is that I've set my left direction shortcut to come up with a New Message, now it lists SMS, Email and MMS but no A-SMS, I have to go through the message icon in the main menu. The second problem is that when I open the A-SMS application up and I do use and like Predictive Texting, it doesn't work! Everytime I push a button to start texting nothing displays on the screen and SPELL comes up over the left softkey. Turn off Predictive Texting and it works, very annoying. Anyone else had any problems and anyone know a solution? Have contacted Nokia who haven't got back to me yet.

    you might want to try FA136050 here
    /t5/Software-Updates/Symbian-Anna-Troubleshooting/​td-p/1127953
    but i've always used the * button to scroll through options. once you move off the word it stops being a sequence of key presses and just becomes the letters as is.

  • Captivate preview and publish text does not match slide. (Magic Shrinking Text)

    The text size on the Captivate slide matches the PowerPoint. So far so good.
    When I preview (or publish) the SCORM module, the text shows up as a smaller size and moved to the left. I don't understand why it doesn't match the original captivate slide. It seems like it's arbitrarily shrinking some of the text. (Other slides come across just fine.)

  • SWF File Size and Rollover Text Problem

    Hi and thanks in advance for any input.
    Two problems....
    1. SWF File Size
         I've made a fairly small (at least in my eyes its small) flash site. However, even tho there really isn't much content, the swf is already 2.4mb and I haven't even finished it. It loads fine on my internet speed, but im worried about general users with slower internet. Is there something i should be doing to get the file size down (hopefully without comprimising quality).
    2. Text Buttons (Movie Clips)
         The rollover function (Event Listener) for MCs containing text keeps running while the mouse is over the button. I.E. It isnt treating the text box as a button, its treating the text only as a button, so as you roll between one letter and another, the rollover is re-set and re-starts.
    The Swf is here.
    And the FLA is here. *EDIT* - How can i get this fla to you guys? this doesn't seem to work when i try to download file - it just gives a fla.txt file?
    Thanks.
    Zack.

    Reduce bitmap quality (increase compression).
    For each bitmap, select "custom quality" in the symbol properties and set it to no more than 80.
    Set the mouseChildren property of the button movieclips to false to avoid mouse events from triggering by child objects (the text inside the movieclip).
    services_inner.mouseChildren = false;
    projects_inner.mouseChildren = false;
    etc..

  • Preview and printing scale problems

    Hi,  I couldn't find a forum for preview. iphoto was the nearest...
    basically I am just trying to print an image opened in preview to a fairly small size and no matter what I do it always seems to scale it to fit the A4 paper size. If I go to Tools - Adjust size -  and make it quite a small image, (5cms across for example) when I go to print it it still just blows it up as before, all blurry and pixely.  really I don't seem to have lots of options, I have, of course, deselected the scale-to-fit button. I have tried reducing the number in the % field.  but nothing...

    Note the Scale option in the Print Dialogue - Just below 'Auto-rotate'. It's set to 394%. What happens if you set it to 100%?
