Retaining Two-Page Scrolling when Exporting to Interactive PDF Not Working

I'm currently trying to export from InDesign a continuous facing page PDF.
My document has four pages and is set up as pages, not spreads.
Left page is even, right is odd. Looks fine in InDesign.
I need to do Interactive due to hyperlinks, etc.
I choose Export and choose Interactive PDF
My settings are All, Pages, Fit Visible, Two-Up Continuous Facing
When it finishes and opens in Acrobat it's starting as a right, cover page. Even if I go to Two Page Scrolling/Viewing in Acrobat it shows my left-hand page starting on the right.
Is there something in Acrobat that isn't set up correctly? I'm using Adobe Cloud so latest version of all software. Thank you in advance! It's driving me crazy as it's always worked in the past.

Try turning on this setting in Acrobat:
View > Page Display > Show Cover Page in Two Page View

How Can I disable page scrolling when creating an interactive PDF using InDesign?

I'm attempting to create an interactive PDF portfolio with links from the homepage to gallery pages and projects etc, but it seems useless if I can't stop the PDF pages from scrolling? Can anyone help?
I have InDesign CS5.5 and Adobe Acrobat Pro.
Thanks,
Elizabeth

scrolling through the pages
There is nothing you can do to prevent a viewer from navigating on their own through a PDF. One method would be to have the PDF open in Full Screen mode, this hides the navigation tab. But a viewer can use their arrow keys to go page to page, ignoring the links within the PDF. And the viewer can hit the esc key to go back to normal view. Another option would be to use a swf export, indstead of pdf, but seriously depends on how you plan to distribute this portfolio.

Indesign CS5.5 Crashes when exporting an Interactive PDF

My InDesign CS5.5 continues to crash when trying to export an Interactive PDF.
It begins to come up with a box titled WARNING but it all closes and i don't even see the error message.
Will it work if I deactivate and reactive? will that work by any chance?
Its really frustrating.
Yasmine.

Please upload the crash report to http://pastebin.com and post a link here.
I saw the "Replace, or "trash" your InDesign preferences" thread but am confused as to what I need to delete vs. rename or move.
It's teh same as the vulcan nerve pinch you tried -- I assume InDesign prompted you to delete preferences and you said OK.
What happens if you create a new document and Pages (panel) > Move Pages pages 1-83 to the new document, and then recreate 84 and 85 by hand? Does it work? Presumably this is document corruption of some sort.

Video disappears when exporting to Interactive pdf

Hi,
I have just started using InDesign yesterday and am trying to put together an interactive pdf. It is essentially a pdf catalogue with several clients on it. I have carried out all the hyperlinking, but now I want to embed a video into the pdf. I do so by importing a video file and configuring it with the interactive media box. Every time I export he pdf however, the video is completely missing.
I have tried to convert it with Media Encoder to flash, mp4, avi, h.264 etc. I'm not really sure how I can fix it so that it remains an interactive element in a pdf. I have been playing around with the Adobe pdf presets and still nothing.
Could somebody please help me? Complete noob here
Cheers

You mentioned you have played with PDF presets? Are you sure you have exported Interactive PDF not Adobe PDF (Print)? Those are two different formats in InDesign´s Export File format list... videos are not supported in PDF for print format. And PDF presets works only with PDF for Print, not with Interactive PDF format.
If you are using proper Interactive PDF format, make sure you have checked (Forms and) Media; Include All option in export window.

Retain multi-page layout when exporting to PDF

I have created a multi-page layout, I want to export this to PDF but retain the multi-page view so the client can easily understand how it will look. Currently it exports to single pages rather than the nice 3 page spread I have created.

Actually it seems it doesn't need to be created as facing pages, as long as you have the doc set not to shuffle and you've dragged the pages together into a single unit. Check the "Spreads" box in the export dialog.

HELP! CS5.5 Crashes When Exporting as Interactive PDF

I just finished an 85-page document that needs to be exported as an interactive PDF but when I export it, InDesign CS5.5 crashes as it gets to page 84 every single time. This has happened with other CS5.5 documents but when packaging the files instead.
I have already tried resetting the preferences (via the Cmd + Ctrl + Opt + Shift (Mac) method) but to no avail. The document crashed again.
I have also tried saving it as an .idml file and resaving as an .indd file but still, the crash.
Then recently, I received this error message for the very first time: "Adobe InDesign is shutting down. A serious error was detected. Please restart InDesign to recover work in any unsaved InDesign documents."
I saw the "Replace, or "trash" your InDesign preferences" thread but am confused as to what I need to delete vs. rename or move.
I'm using Mac OSX 10.6.8 and running InDesign CS5.5 7.5.0.142.

Please upload the crash report to http://pastebin.com and post a link here.

What is going on??? InDesign crashes when exporting an interactive .pdf!

I created a 24 page interactive form for an iPad in InDesign CS6 for a class project. I used the new buttons and forms feature. Whenever I try to export the form to an interactive pdf InDesign crashes and an unexpected error crash screen comes up. This is very frustrating because I need to export it to view the interactivity. PLEASE HELP ME!!

Can you export it in two halves? If not, does one half export, but the other crash?
Waht's the OS? Is ID patched to 8.0.1?

Interactive PDF not working. Please help.

Hi,
Can anyone help me please?
I've created a website prototype with just two pages (home and lower page). For the relevant navigation I have created two links and and rollover states to demonstrate interactivity. I've set this up using slices and swap image behaviours. In preview mode, everything works as it should, but when I export to PDF and view, only the links work, not the hover state changes.
Can anyone help me solve this issue as, for me, this is a major reason why I was trialing Fireworks in the first place as my chosen tool for web design. It means the difference between me continuing with Fireworks or reverting to Photoshop for protype creation.
Thanks again for any advice you can offer
Greg

Sorry, I just wanted to be sure anyone else reading the thread didn't latch onto my suggestion in the wrong manner.
Hotspots do not support rollovers, even in Fireworks. Only slices support rollovers. Regardless of the web object used, it must indeed be a true rectangle (not a polygon that looks like a rectangle). Acorbat doesn't support polygon or elliptical web objects. I think they're completely ignored in the export process.
What you probably saw was Acrobat's capability to show a hot area. This is not to be confused with a swapped image from within the Fireworks document.

Interactive PDF Not Working On Other Computers

Hi,
I created an interactive pdf from an Indesign file on my personal computer. I put the file on another computer but it doesn't work? What could be the problem?
Thank you,
Kristie

I'm trying to view the PDF on a MacIntosh. I created the PDF file on a PC
(Windows Vista) and used Indesign 5.5. I went to File, Export and selected
Interactive PDF as the file type. I accepted the other defaults. Also, I created
three bookmarks in the Indesign document. The first two work but the third one
doesn't and It's always the last bookmark I click on that fails to work. The
bookmarks work fine in the Indesign document.

Simple Interactive PDF not working

Once again I'm stumped. I'm attampting to create a simple slide show which animates from one image to the next with just a previous and next button. The project seems to work fine when using the preview mode within InDesign CS6 (8.0.1), but when I export the document it will not work.
When I open the interactive PDF in Acrobat and attempt to click on the next and previous buttons, an icon appears of a Hand with a black down arrow on the hand?
Any thoughts as to what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks.

Simple slideshow? How?
My guess is you're using MSOs which are unsupported in PDF.

Page numbering when exporting book to PDF - ID 5.5

I'm having a lot of trouble exporting a PDF from a book file in Indesign 5.5, running on Snow Leopard.
On certain pages it appears to place the page numbers randomly in the middle of the artwork.
I am using master pages for the numbering. On most pages it works fine, but on others this problem will appear.
I understand that 5.5 has had issues with the Export to PDF from a book file, I recently installed an update which I understand was supposed to fix these issues, but the problem still persists.
Has anyone experienced this issue, or have any methods to resolve it? A screenshot is below which shows the correct position on the left, and the incorrect position on the right.
Numbering appears fine in the ID file itself.

Try exporting the files to .idml (see Remove minor corruption by exporting) and resave.

InDesign CS6 crashing when exporting as a PDF (not font problem)

I have attempted exporting my PDF with all different kinds of settings. It's only an 8 page document. It has about 15 low res jpgs in it. I used a stock Adobe font.There are a several hyperlinks in the file but, mostly it is just text. I have no idea how to fix this. And naturally, I need it for work tomorrow. I do get one error message saying that there is overlaying text on 3 of 8 pages, but I really don't think that is something that would cause this problem. Any ideas??? Thanks!

I thought that's what that link was for...the crash report I posted to pastebin. I have never used that site before. Sorry.
Alas, I was able to get it work...after 5-6 hours of working on it. I ended up saving it as an IDML (again, the first time didn't work). It replaced all the images with gray squares, but at least I had the content. The images were the least of my worries. I recreated the entire doc (borrowed every page but page 4) to get away from whatever that was about and just redid the layout for page 4. It exported perfectly as a PDF and is now on the boss lady's desk, just in time.
Thank you all for all of your help!

Interactive pdf not working

I have InDesign CC 2014 and I'm a novice at this. I read a lot and created a file that just turns the page. I saved it as a SWF file and had it create an html. The "use in document" was checked for the page curl. When I opened the html or pdf file neither does the page curl. The html file tells me to add Flash to my computer. I have it there. I tried to open the file on three different machines, two with Windows 8 and one with Windows 7.
Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I created the file in InDesign, exported it as a swf with the html option checked. It automatically opened in Internet Explorer and it works there. When I closed the html file and tried to open it again, I got a message that I needed to get Flash. And the link takes me to the Flash download screen. I didn't download it. It's already on the machine. I checked the Active-x to make sure it was active and that made the html file work.
Thanks for your help.

Is it possible to place a video into a circle frame for export as interactive PDF?

I've been trying to figure out how to embed video files into a circle shape frame for export as interactive pdf. Every time I export the document as interactive PDF, the video frame reverts back to a rectangle shape. Basically what I'm attempting to do is embed a .gif like animation of a face (saved as mp4 because it's my understanding that PDF can't support gif files) in a circle frame that plays on document load when exported as interactive pdf. Any suggestions, bypasses, solutions would be much appreciated.

Correct! Good solution!
But you missed a couple steps in your directions:
(1) Make a rectangle filled with Paper color.
(2) Make a circle filled with None (this will be the mask for the movie).
(3) Move the circle over the rectangle. Select both and choose Object > Path > Make Compound Path. This creates a paper-color rectangle with a hole.
(4) Position the rectangle-with-hole object over the movie to position the mask.
(5) Use the Buttons and Forms panel to make that object into a button. Give it an action of playing the movie.
(6) Choose File > Export > PDF (Interactive).
It works because the button (which has interactivity) is atop another object which has interactivity (the movie).
Brilliant!
