Problems trying to create scrollable text in InDesign CC

I'm making an interactive presentation in InDesign. Im trying to create some scrollable text. i didn't know how to do that in CC, so I looked up some videos over the web and learned I needed to use the "Folio Builder" or the "Overlay panel". i never was able to find the latter and the Folio Builder gives me this message: "A software update is required to use Digital Publishing Suite. Please go to the Help menu and select Updates to get the required software." My software is already up-to-date (at least that's what the Adobe Application Manager tells me). Is this happening because I'm using a trial version? I'm planning to buy the Creative Cloud package but first I need to know it's worthy. Thanks for your help!

You are most likely looking at some very old videos. As it happens my DPS
course was just released on lynda.com:

essential-training-is-live/
There's a link to a one week trial there if you don't have a subscription.

  • Creating Scrollable text frames in InDesign

    I've been trying to create scrollable text frames in InDesign CS6 and, for the life of me, cannot figure out how to do so for an interactive PDF. 
    I've done so for touchscreen devices before through DPS and the scrollable frame option, but I've never tried to do it for something non-touchscreen/mobile.  I don't even know if it's possible, but I am sending this to someone who may not have touchscreen access with touchscreen scroll functionality and I wouldn't want to risk a good portion of text to go unread because of a lack-of functionality.
    So, I guess my question is:  Is there a way to create a scrollable text field for an interactive PDF that could be scrolled through using a mouse or keyboard? 
    Thanks in advance!

    No. It's DPS only.

  • Trying to create a text item with a scroll bar in Indesign 5.5

    Is there a simple way to create a scrollable text article in Indesign 5.5? It will later be exported to a SWF as a mini-flash web portfolio.
    I would appreciate any help.
    I'm new to Indesign.

    Do you mean a text box people can type in (for a Web form
    entry) or one for displaying your content?
    If the first, then you use the textarea tag and scrollbars
    appear when the user types more lines that you specify. See the
    textarea
    description at W3Schools.
    If the second, then that's usually done in Flash, but can be
    done with CSS. See these two pages:
    Dynamic
    text with scrollbar (Flash)

  • Trying to create a text that is on fire or more like a hot branding iron

    Trying to create a text that is on fire or more like a hot branding iron

    Something like this?
    That was from a project I did a few months ago.  Sounds similar to what you want.  I did that in After Effects.
    Basically all I did was add a glow effect to the text and messed around with the glow parameters.  The black smoke is animated and moves on the actual video and is basically some pre keyed smoke footage that I had.  The smoke was originally gray but black looked cooler.
    I'd say it's pretty close to your hot branding iron thing.

  • Whfree can i find my channels in elements 11..i am trying to create a text effect

    I am trying to create a text effect that requires me to make all channel active.  Normally in photoshop i can find the tab near my layers  but they are not there.

    There is no channels palette in Elements.
    You can select channels in the levels command. There is generally a way to do what you want in Elements; can you give more details about what you want to achieve?

  • Trying to create this Text Transition...

    Hi guys, can anyone help, I'm trying to create a text transition like the one below in FCP...
    http://www.alex.mastersofcreation.com/alexw/spacetesttransition/spacetesttransit ion.html
    Just something similar, does anyone know of any useful plugins or tips?
    Thanks

    Create your text layer with the title and blow it up to be the size of the screen and keyframe it so it moves right>left. Place the second layer of video (the one you're transitioning into) below the text layer, and set the text layer's composite "Travel Matte".
    Nest (or export with an alpha channel and bring back in) this sequence above your first layer of video.

  • Creating scrollable text with Adobe DPS

    I'm using the Overlay creator panel to build a vertical scrolling text panel on a page. As I am saving the folio as a PDF the text within the scrolling (pan) container looks different to the non scrolling text columns. I assume this is because the pan function is converted to PNG or JPG and not built as PDF. Is there a way to build scrolling text panels and retain the sharp scalable PDF text? The only solution I can see is to build the folio as a PNG which withh mean larger file sizes. Help!

    You're correct, the text inside the scrolling container is getting rasterized at folio creation time, whereas the rest of the text is getting rendered at display time by the PDF engine on the device. This will result in slight differences in appearance on the device, however if you are creating your folios correctly it shouldn't be a sharpness difference.
    Are you trying to create content for the new iPad? If so, make sure you are creating your folio in folio builder at 2048x1536. When you add the InDesign document as a PDF article to a folio that size we will rasterize the scrollable frame content at a resolution high enough to look sharp on the new iPad.

  • Problem trying to create FIELD SYMBOLS in BADI.

    Hi guys!
    I'm trying to create a Field Symbol in method CHECK of BADI me_process_req_cust (well, I'm working on a Z implementation).
    The problem is that I'm trying to create a FIELD SYMBOL and when I check the syntaxsis, I receive the next error:
    Clase ZCL_IM_MM_PURREQ_UPDATE,Método IF_EX_ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST~CHECK
    Names may only consist of the characters "A-Z", "0-9" and "_". In
    addition, they may not begin with a number.
    This is the code:
            FIELD-SYMBOLS: <sy-mereq> TYPE mereq3328-afnam.
    Any idea????
    Thanks in advance!
    Bet

    Hi Silveria,
    The problem lies in
    FIELD-SYMBOLS: <sy-mereq> TYPE mereq3328-afnam.
    instead of that it should be something like this
    FIELD-SYMBOLS: <sy_mereq> TYPE mereq3328-afnam.
    With your code you will be getting a syntax error saying sy-mereq is not defined,as it will be looking for the mereq in the system fields.

  • Pan & Zoom option in Overlay Creator disabled/grayed out when trying to create scrolling text

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to create a scrolling text frame using the Paste Into method. I've created a long text frame, cut it, pasted into another frame. When I go to the Overlay Creator and click Pan & Zoom, it tells me to select a cropped image. I've tried an identical work flow on another computer and it works fine - the pan only radio button is available.
    I've reinstalled the CS5 extensions, restarted my Mac and I can't resolve the issue. I only downloaded the extension tools last week, so I'd hope they aren't too out of date now. The About screen tells me I'm on 11.4.2.20111116_m_671500 7.0.3.13
    Any help appreciated.

    The best place to get the new builds is the DPS Dashboard (https://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com). You can also view the detailed help topic about installing:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS67cb9e293e2f1f60-21ba9a4512e5e5e0b8d-7 ffe.html
    If you install the Folio Producer tools and then the Folio Builder panel, you should be able to sign in just fine. Let  us know if you still get the error.

  • Help trying to create a 2 page indesign doc with 1 landscape & 1 portrait page?

    I'm creating a double sided A5 flyer, how do I create a 2 page indesign document with one page portrait & the other landscape?
    Thank you in advance for anyone who can help with this ;-)

    You can use the Page tool to change one, but if it's going to print I think it would be better to make them both either ladscape or portrait, then use Rotate Spread View in the Pages panel to make one appear inthe other orientation on screen while work.

  • Trying to create fillable form from InDesign table

    I am working on a very long document, over 100 rows and about 18 columns, which will exist only as a pdf. I need to make 6 of the columns interactive so that they can be filled in with one of three letters by the end user.
    I created the design in InDesign CS 5.5 as a table. That worked well for design control, but Acrobat X 10.1.3 does not recognize any of the cells in the PDF document. Is there a different InD export option that will make a table convert to a fillable form? I used press quality, then opened the pdf in Acrobat.
    I have worked around by creating a short drop down list with the three letters in it and copied that into the cells using the Place Multiple Fields command. Then I can adjust position easily enough.
    *Except* my client would prefer that the end user just type one of the letters into the cell/field rather than doing a drop down selection on each of the several hundred cells. She'd also like to be able to copy and paste the final filled-in information into her original excel document.
    Am I missing something in Acrobat? I don't do fillable forms often and have never had one this massive.
    I am working on a Mac.
    Thanks for any help.

  • Problem trying to create graphic style...

    I'm trying to create a nave menu and in doing so, create a single graphic style that can achieve my end goal. I can get what I want by using a seperate shape, but that defeats the purpose of the single graphic style. I thought I could achieve the look using an effect under
    Effect>Pathfinder
    But that doesn't get the result I expected. Below you can see both what the graphic style currently looks like, and what I want to add to it (the gloss) hopefully within the same graphic style. Is this possible?
