Rollovers in Interactive PDF acting a bit sticky...?

CS6.
I've created "previous" & "next" buttons to move between pages on click...and placed these on the master page.
They have rollover states which changes their appearance sightly & this works as intended....until after i click one of the buttons, and move pages. Then the button is "stuck" in the rollover state, even after I move the mouse away. Its not until I mouse back over the button and then off it again....that it returns to its normal state. This happens each time I click and move pages. Just to repeat...the rollover state behaves as expected if I dont click the buttons to move pages - mousing over works perfectly. any ideas what is going on here?
thanks

It works fine for me.
First, restart your computer. Then restore you InDesign preferences, recreate the effect, and try again.

  • DPS: pinch and zoom function not working on all pages within folio (v30 tools using the pdf setting). What would cause some pages to pinch and zoom fluidly, while other pages appear a bit sticky? Could it be a button on the wrong layer?

    What would cause some pages in the same folio to pinch and zoom fluidly, while other pages appear a bit sticky? Could it be a button on the wrong layer that's not allowing the pinch and zoom to work?
    I do have a "go to state" button that enlarges graphic to full page on the page. Could this be cancelling the pinch and zoom functionality? Would a box with text wrap ON affect the ability to pich and zoom? What else may be causing this?

  • Making buttons rollovers and hyperlinks work in an interactive PDF!

    Hello!
    I'm actually real life tearing my hair out here, I wonder if anyone can help??
    I'm desperately desperately trying to make a simple document, that has a few menus where text will link to certain pages, and that has a few links to websites via highlighted text.
    I have -finally after an entire day of trying!- managed to create a 'go to page' element in an interactive pdf so that the links within the document can connect to the correct pages. However! I cannot at all get the external website links to work and I cannot get any of the rollover states for the buttons to work. It is important to get it to work as otherwise the user doesnt know that its an interactive element!
    I hope that makes sense?
    To be clear:
    -The Rollover states of the biuttons do not work ing an interactive pdf
    -and the URL links do not work in a PDF
    Please please can anyone help?? I was supposed to finish this this morning but it looks like it will be a late night for me. Adobe is usually so good but this has been a total nightmare, not intuitive to use at all and no clear information on how to use it
    Best

    EDIT: I see you mentioned that yourself but the header of your question was 'How to make SWF file work in interactive PDF'. Strictly speaking, forgetting the iPad, the answer would be: export the animation from InDesign to SWF, delete the animation and now place the exported SWF back on the page. Then export to interactive PDF.
    Still won't work on iPad however!
    On Desktop this will work in PDF *if* Flash player is installed on that desktop for Adobe reader/Acrobat 10 and later; versions 9 and earlier have 'build in' Flash players...

  • Interactive PDF rollover states flashing in Acrobat XI

    Hello,
    I am having a problem with an interactive PDF I created in Adobe InDesign and am viewing in Acrobat XI. Any buttons that I have created with rollover states are flashing (disappearing and reappearing) whenever I actually mouse over them. A previous PDF I created with rollovers doesn't experience this problem at all and works fine. The functionality of the buttons still works but the flashing is very frustrating and looks unprofessional and this is for a client deliverable... Would love to know if there is any fix for this. The buttons and rollovers were created in InDesign (they are not links) so I have no idea why it keeps doing that.
    I am running Adobe InDesign CC 2014.1 (10.1.0.71) and Adobe Acrobat XI version 11.0.10.
    Thanks!

    Hhmmm...I'm actually having this problem even with Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional. Does this make sense?
    Again, I'm creating the document in InDesign CS5 and then building the PDF with  Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional, and the rollover effects don't work in Adobe Acrobat 9, Adobe Reader 9, and Adobe Reader 10.
    I'm a bit new to this process of software not providing its basic touted functionality. Is this the kind of thing where support for this functionality will vary from product to product? I had the same issue with PDF Portfolio -- where all its functioanlity was not supported in Adobe Reader X. If so, perhaps I should simply stick with the classic features of PDFs. Or can I trust, reliability, that going forward, this rollover effect will be supported in all Adobe Reader versions? This is quite an important issue for me as I provide all the documentation for my employer, including customer facing documentation -- and I simply don't know. Any recommendations?

  • Interactive PDF with mouse-overs was created in Illustrator, now pauses and flashes when opened in Acrobat

    I have created an interactive PDF using Illustrator that has mouse-overs. When i export the file and then open it in Acrobat there is odd pausing on teh image bewteen mousing over it and the text callout that shold then display. Did I export or save incorrectly?

    Thank you for both responses! I'm impressed with the fact that you're reading my post.
    I'm new to tech matters with Adobe/PDF/Nitro tho I've been using them for several years.
    The original file was created by an agency and given to independent contractor to use.  I don't know which program they used to create the form. And I don't know what XFA or LiveCycle Designer means  because I'm not technically sophisticated unfortunately.
    I used Nitro 6 to populate the data and have a number of forms already filled out, which I periodically open and modify and resubmit. But Nitro 6 is acting sick, despite reinstalling several times.  I'm attempting to see if it's worth transitioning to Adobe Acrobat, i.e., can I reopen the forms I've populated and continue to work with them.  I like some of the Adobe features for other purposes (e.g., OCR). 
    Any help in determining how to open the form while keeping the data?

  • Interactive PDF: Rollover button state no longer working properly  ???

    Okay, what's going on with the Interactive PDFs lately?
    Now all my rollover buttons no longer work properly.  If I have a button that's simply a black arrow, and in the rollover state it's red.
    No matter if I'm checking it out in the latest Acrobat Reader or Pro X, the rollover only works for a brief second..then reverts back to black - the original state.
    This, combined with my latest problem with the show/hide button state, is really becoming a frustrating hassle:

    Any help would be appreciated.
    I'm running 7.5.1.
    Is this an Acrobat issue?  The button function here seems to work in the InDesign preview mode.

  • 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.

  • Issues with buttons in interactive pdf (CS4)

    Hi there, I'm working on an interactive pdf that is going to be used cross platform. I'm working with ID CS4 (6.0.6) and Acrobat CS4 (9.4.4). I have some issues with the buttons I've created that I need to solve. The buttons are contours made in AI and pasted in ID. When done I exported my pdf from ID and checked with Acrobat and added a few links using Acrobat as one can't use the command 'go to specific page' in ID itself (yes, this has to be a non-Flash pdf).
    When testing in Acrobat I noticed 2 things I need to solve.
    First: sometimes a button doesn't work properly the first time but later on it does or the other way around.
    Second: when viewing on a pc using Acrobat Reader 9.4 some of the buttons show little dots in a square showing the active field when hovering, although I've set border colour and fill colour to none on all buttons.
    How can I fix these issues? I couldn't find anything in the properties dialog box. And one final question: from which versions of Adobe Reader (Mac and pc) are interactive pdf's supported?
    TIA

    Thanks George. You're correct, most of the actions were set straight in ID. The only reason I go into Acrobat is to hookup the buttons that need to go to a specific page rather than to the next page. Since my version of Acrobat is not English I had to google English manuals to get the exact English phrases. Alas, I can't hand you a copy of the document either since it holds some sensitive information that I'm not allowed to share.
    Instead of posting all the settings I made, I looked more carfeful to the buttons that have multiple actions. In Acrobat you have a bit more control over the hierarchy of the actions so I guess this is where we can straighten out the hickups, right? I have a few buttons that have actions for go to a next/previous page and toggle the show/hide of a few items on the pages. So I my case most of the buttons were set to first do the show/hide and then go to the next page rather than first go to the previous/next page and then do the show/hide actions. Could this be the cause of the staggering of some of the buttons?
    And for last, right now the ID document has 4 layers. I could reduce that to 2. Would that be of any (additional) help? Thanks!

  • InDesign CS6 and CS5.5 Export to Interactive PDF

    Hi Guys,
    I am having this huge problem when I tried to export 124 pages including links, buttons (show/hide) and video (mp4) to interactive PDF. However when I tried to use CS5.5 to export, it stops at page 98 and prompts an error that say cannot be exported. In CS6, it managed to pass the page 98 but hangs at page 123 till I got to force quit it.
    I am able to export in pieces but not as a whole and I believe that it could be a memory or ram issue which is beyond my control.
    This is the first time I have encountered this issue. Anyone have solutions for this?
    Mark Plunkett

    I manage to combine them in Acrobat X and the links worked, I was happy but for a while. When I tried to save the combined PDF, same thing happened, it just keeps optimizing running at 100.3% of the resources. What I have noticed using my Activity Monitor in Mac is that InDesign renders it using 1GB or Ram while Acrobat only uses 380MB of Ram when I have 8GB of ram available in my Mac. More the reason why InDesign should have gone into 64-bit in CS6, but was dissapointed it did not.
    I found the cause of the rendering issue, it is not so much about the vector or image size (it does play a part though), it is because I was using too much Show / Hide functions in the Buttons Panel. There seem to be a limit to how much you can use and on how many pages you can have them. I was doing a "Drop down menu" in the PDF with this particular function, each page have about 40 Show/Hide buttons, and there is a total of 124 pages. That is what caused it not to export out successfully, when I removed the buttons, it worked after waiting for 40 minutes of exporting the file, not very happy it took so long, however it got exported.
    I think that both Acrobat and InDesign developers should start looking into able to use Scratch Disk or let the users optimize more Ram to the usage of the software.
    Forgot to mention that this only worked in CS6, not even close in CS5.5

  • Interactive pdf on ipad pain...

    I've created a simple interactive pdf in inDesign, with video, put it in dropbox to use it on an ipad and for a while all was fine. Now they no longer work. Did something happen?
    I've tried several pdf readers and none of them seem to support these videos - am I missing something?
    John

    Cheers all,
    I tried expert pdf and all was well. In fact the mp3s work better too, with proper controls. It does seem to be a bit hit and miss with media... Can't understand why adobe reader doesn't support media properly.
    Oh well!

  • Interactive PDF file using InDesign CS5

    I've created an interactive portfolio within InDesign. Within the InDesign layout I've created a button "Testimonial" when the user clicks it reveals a reference letter. (The reference letter is also a button.) Then the viewer needs to click on a "close" button on the reference letter to go back to the portfolio view.
    It's set up and when I view it within InDesign using the Preview area. It works.
    When I export as a Interactive PDF and view in Acrobat. The "close" button is not there. So I'm unable to return to the portfolio view.
    Any suggestions?

    Thank you... what was wrong. Didn't I do everything correct and have the close button on top in the stacking order... was this a software bug?
    I'm not sure what that other poster was doing. Duplexing won't exist until the drivers get 64 bit clean. I've been there and done that.

  • Help! InDesign interactive PDF buttons not working in Safari or on iPad

    I made an infographic in Indesign for our university magazine with a QR code to link to an interactive pdf. Nothing too complicated animation wise, simply buttons that you can click on to view different parts of the graphic. However, the buttons are not working at all in Safari and on the iPhone and iPad, the buttons disapear completley. Please help.
    http://bit.ly/yrTN4R?r=qr
    Thanks,
    Gretchen

    Whether buttons work correctly in a PDF file depend entirely on what PDF reader you're using. Here are a couple of important facts:
    * While corrected created interactive PDFs will display correctly in the FREE Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat, they probably won't display correctly in Apple's Preview application which is probably what you're viewing in Safari.
    * None of the PDF readers currently available on an iPad (e.g., iBooks, GoodReader, etc.) correctly handle interactivity like buttons on an iPad.

  • Errors with interactive pdf containing motion paths

    I have created an interactive pdf in indesign with simple motion paths. In the preview in indesign it works perfect, but the animations do not work in the exported pdf. This is created in CS6 and I have the creative suite standard installed.

    I have tested with both Acrobat Pro X (10.1.1)  and Acrobat Reader XI (11.0.0.). Due to IT  restrictions I am unable to use such "transfer files" providers, so I am bit stuck. I have tried to put the different animations in layers and in one layer only, with same results. I am
    beginning to think that there are internal restrictions that make this happen

  • Streaming video in interactive pdf

    I have read everything I can on this subject, and although it looks like I should be able to do it, I have so far been unable to make it work!   
    My dilemma: Creating an Interactive PDF from InDesign CS6, and I would like to include links to various streaming video's throughout the pdf.  I would like them to run within the pdf (as a floating window), not pop out to the users web browser.  I would like people to be able to play them, and then play them again if they need to listen again, aka, loop, I guess.
    My attempts: I have created the Play button (to launch the video) in InD and when I exported it to PDF, I tried to set the video up there.  I had minimal success with that route.  I've also tried to do the whole thing directly in InD, including the link to the video, but had no success. 
    I have downloaded two different replacement Flash players and tried to make both of them work, but with no real success.  However, I fully admit that I am not as technically savy as what they expect, since I really don't get the whole "do this in Java" part.  I tried to copy their script stuff in and replace my info where I saw it fit, but apparently there is other things going on that I am not getting. 
    Help!  If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.  Or even if there is somewhere you can steer me to learn how to do it, I'll go.  So far, most of the stuff has been programmatically over my head, even though I'm not a new user to the Creative Suite, unfortunately, it's all been print.

    First thing to say is that if you want the video to be truly "streaming" it has to be served from an Adobe Media Server platform using the RTMP/RTMPE protocol.
    Assuming you have the URL of such a stream, it's easy to create the annotation in Acrobat Pro. If you want a floating window and a 'play' button, this is the simnplest workflow as there's no scripting involved - but you need to create an image that will act as the button.
    Use the Add Video tool to draw a region on the page which will be where your 'play' button sits.
    In the Insert Video dialog there's a "Select file or insert URL" field at the top - in there, type the full URL of your RTMP stream.
    Click "show advanced options" and select "Create poster from file", then open your image of the play button.
    Set the playback style to "floating window" and enter the dimensions of the stream.
    Click OK.
    If you already have the graphic for the play button as part of the PDF page itself, you can use a different workflow:
    Use the Add Video tool to draw a very small region on the page which will be where the video poster sits (it has to exist but you want to hide it somewhere...).
    Set the video options as before and click OK.
    Use the Add Link tool to create a link region around the play button shape on your page.
    Set the link to "Custom Action"
    On the Actions tab, set the event to "Multimedia Operation (Acrobat 9 and later)", choose your video from the list, then in the lower area choose Play.

  • Interactive PDF meltdown with InDesign CS5

    Howdy,
    I've just switched from InDesign CS3 to CS5 and I was creating interactive PDF's for my portfolio.
    I work as a retoucher and all I was doing was making an image change from the "before" to the "after" image when the cursor rolledover the image. Easy-peasy job done.
    For some unknown reason, when I now open my images in Acrobat, the images are terribly pixelated and the rollovers do not work.
    It seems the images have to be at 300dpi, whereas before I can downsample them a little to reduce file size and still get a creditable "before" and "after" pic.
    Now it's just a mess mith a massive file size! This seems to have happened all by itself and it's gone into meltdown!
    Any ideas welcome

    Rollovers are currently not working properly, we expect a fix shortly.
    InDesign's PDF export system does not have any connection to Acrobat, so your main question needs to be posted on the InDesign forums.
