Saving a interactive pdf.

Hello,
I followed this https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/user-interface-technology/wd%20java/wdjava%20archive/offline%20interactive%20pdf%20form%20using%20download.pdf
to design a offline interactive pdf. When I run the DC, I get this exception.
   com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.exceptions.WDRuntimeException: pdfSource of InteractiveForm UI element should be populated with pdf binary content in USE_PDF mode
In the template project I see the designed pdf under
TutWD_UploadDownloadInteractiveFormsrcmimesComponentscom.sap.tut.wd.uploaddownloadinteractiveform.UploadDownloadInteractiveFormComp
In my DC, I do not see my designed pdf. Do I have to manually save the designed pdf at this location. I am not sure how to save the newly designed pdf.
Thanks
Tony.

Hi Tony,
Please check the type of PDFSource (Context attribute) in the viw where Interactive form is embedded. The type should be set to Binary. Also check if the pdfSource propety of interactive form points to this context attribute.
This attribute stores the generated Interactive form in binary form at runtime.
Hope this helps!!
Cheers,
Arafat

  • Saving an interactive PDF at the client

    I have the LiveCycle Designer and have created an interactive form. I want some of my staff to be able to save the document on their computer, but they only have reader. Apparently this can be accomplished with the reader extensions, is this  part of x pro, or do I have to purchase it. Also there is another option to make the PDF Reader Enabled. I have looked in acrobet for the advanced tab and can't seem to find where to do this. Could someone please advise as to what I need to do and where I need to go to get this done. Itn is most frustrating. Thanks for your help.

    Thanks Paul,  could you please let me know how I would go about doing this in acrobat Pro.

    You export to PDF, not save.

  • Help needed with saving interactive PDF (Video and Youtube in InDesign)

    Designing a brochure in Indesign CS6 I have placed small MP4 video file into indesign, when I save the file as an interactive pdf the video files dont show up in preview on mac, just a blank white space. the window does show in adobe reader but im having problems with the play function not being able to pause that. Would like the file to be a pdf so can share across a few devices and platforms.
    Have also tried a workaround which hyperlinks an screencaption but the link appears broken when i click the image, is this something to do with you tube video being private? 

    Moved to InDesign forum.
    When you export you will note that you export an Adobe PDF. There's a reason for that.
    Mac Preview is fine for a plain vanilla PDF but it ends there.

  • I publish a 41mb newsletter monthly into interactive pdf. It always becomes a file size of 4mb, 10% of original, when I save to pdf. This month my newsletter is 41mb and it drops to 11mb, 25% of original. I have re-sized all pictures, deleted pages separa

    I publish a 41mb InDesign newsletter monthly into interactive pdf. It always becomes a file size of 4mb, 10% of original, when I save to pdf. This month my newsletter is 41mb and it drops to 11mb, 25% of original. I have re-sized all pictures, deleted pages separately, have gotten the file size down to 16mb and it drops to 7mb, 45% of original.
    I have gone back and saved Feb and March and it saves to 10% of original, as it did before, and I use the same mechanism to save now.
    I have gone to Acrobat Pro and optimized down to 8.8mb, but the quality is not acceptable.
    What other variable is there that I haven't discovered?

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • Interactive PDF forms

    Hi,
    In Our project we are creating an Interactive PDF form. This form shows some data that we get from the bapi.While creating the form there is no issue.
    We are also saving the generated PDF's at some location in the server. Through a different application we are accessing these old stored pdf's. Now when we save the PDF to our local machine and try to open it we get a message saying:
    >"This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document".
    With this message all the javascript written on the PDF form get disabled and due to this few of the data are not getting displayed.
    What can be the reason for this? Does it has something to do with ADS configuration on the server?
    Please reply.
    Thanks & regards,
    Sujit

    Hi, Sujit!
    To me it seems that the document somehow gets modified while you process. Try to save your file on the local machine under a new name, enable and save again.
    Regards,

  • Interactive PDF stopped working after upgrade to Safari 7.1 (i.e. all Mavericks users), Suggestions?

    We have a set of interactive PDF forms that our users access via the web.  We have to use the PDF forms online because they are configured to pre-fill basic information that is acquired from our database/information system, which our users can only access via a web-based interface (i.e. no client).  Furthermore, when we save/submit any of these forms, the resulting FDF needs to also be tied to whatever record the user is working on (again, via the web-based interface).
    It appears that the Adobe plugin for Macintosh only works for Safari, and 90% of our users are on Macs... so for the last few years we have recommended Safari as the only browser that will work for any Mac user one who uses these forms.
    However the Adobe plugin doesn't appear to be working very well with the latest update of Safari (7.1).  We can open the forms online, and all the pre-filled data is present, and initially we are able to interact with our form and we can even save/submit.  However at some point we simply lose the ability to interact with any of the fields (i.e. after a few minutes of initial use, or if we attempt to edit after re-opening a saved form).  Strangely enough - we can still cut and copy text, and the save button still works - but that is about it... no typing or clicking radio buttons etc..
    And as Mac users are probably aware, the Safari 7.1 upgrade is tied to the Mavericks OS upgrade - and you can't really just go back to an older version!
    Questions:
    1) Can Adobe be made to work on a Mac with any browser other than Safari?
    2) Are there any other Mac users who use interactive PDF's in Safari 7.1?  And if so, are you having (or did you have) any issues and how did you fix them? 
    3) I have created all our interactive forms on Adobe Pro 9.0 (which I only use to maintain these forms).  Until now I have had no reason to upgrade... but could the older version of Pro be part of our problem?

  • 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.
    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.

  • Problem saving Reader extended PDF created in Livecycle with Javascript functions built in

    Afternoon
    I have created an interactive PDF in Livecycle with built in Javascript functionality.  I need users to be able to complete and save the PDF so have saved it as a Reader extended PDF.  The problem I'm having is that when a user completes the form,saves it, and then opens it again the Javascript functionality is not showing despite showing the original selection that the user has made.  The Javascript is simply a dropdown menu that will show a different table based on the selection so isn't anything major.
    I've trawled forums and this is driving me mad so I'd appreciate some help.
    I am using Adobe Pro XI.
    Thanks in advance
    Ben

    At the moment I can't sorry.  I've run the Javascript debugger in Adobe Pro and it seems there are some errors

    Basically the form has been built in Livecycle Designer and have drop down menus that show or hide tables depending on the selection but when I Reader Enable the form and users make a selection and then save the form it is not showing the table when it is opened again.
    I appreciate your help

  • End user have ability to change font style in text field of interactive pdf form?

    Does the end user of an interactive pdf form able to change the font style, i.e.: make something bold or underline a word in a text field?
    I am making a form with text fields and the end user would like the ability to make something bold or underline it.. I do not see anywhere in acrobat that allows styles to be changed.
    I have created the form in Indesign > saved it as an interactive pdf and brought it into Acrobat.

    Thank you for the quick response! Do you set this in Indesign before exporting or do you set this in Acrobat? I am in Acrobat 10.1.10 and when I go to properties it doesn't give me  'options' to choose from.

    What PDF viewer are you using for your interactive PDF (Reader, Acrobat, Preview, other)? Did you set a preview in the InDesign Media panel (the default is None)?

  • How to export an interactive pdf from InDesign at a smaller file size.

    I have a single page InDesign doc with a side navigation panel to the right of each page. This panel has interactive buttons created in InDesign.
    When I export as an interactive pdf, the file size is over 27MB and I need it to be much lower.
    I should mention that this doc was made from an original PRINT InDesign doc of facing pages, which was about 55MB.
    When making it single pages for the interactive doc, the InDesign file size increased to 105MB.
    Can anyone explain this and have any useful tips for saving the pdf down WITH interactivity working?
    Many thanks.

    Okay - With the 15MB pdf, when I go into the PDF Optimizer dialog box, it's telling me that the Fonts are using 40% and the Acrobat Forms are using 29%.
    Anyone know of a way I can reduce either of these???
    Many thanks in advance!

  • 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!

  • How do you enable zoom in an interactive PDF (SWF) file created in InDesign?

    I'm putting together a scrapbook for a few friends in InDesign CS5. I added a page turn transition and enabled page curl when I saved it as a SWF file, but when I was viewing the project, because it's a SWF video file, I couldn't zoom in and read the notes on each page. Is there a way to add a zoom button or enable zooming another way? Or is there a way to add the page curl to an interactive PDF version?

    good question ;-)
