Scrollable frame prevents swipe to next page

Hello
Does anybody else find when they create a PDF format for the iPad that scrollable frames don't work as well as in auto format.
I have placed a large scrollable frame which takes up 3/4 of my page. When I swipe to the next page the scrollable frame wont let me swipe?
Cheers
Gemma

bugs and behaviour like this is a suspicious sign of a wrong architecture,
too many cooks/programmers ruining the menu (a German spoke word), or
incomplete testing.
DPS is a massive complex system.but for these, data models and information
architecture are critical to success.
I see movement at adobe here. there are more and more people from adobe
responding to problems, actually engineering on these forums and more
concise product management. one can feel that.
but sometimes, these "funny" things happen... they don't matter to the big
publishers still on sprint 15 or enterprise level publishers with their own
track if DPS (visible in the cryptic version number for the WIRED reader
and others).
but they matter to the designers, makers, thinkers and people on the
bleeding edge of DPS actually trying to produce stuff and stumble upon
these things.

Scrollable Content and Swipe to next article Problem.

I have multiple scroll trays on my page that when pulled out take up all the space on the screen. Since interactive content always sits on top of static content how does one workaround not being able to swipe to next article.
At the moment I create dummy buttons that sit on top of the interactive content that have navto properties but my user would not usually figure out to tap instead of swipe to next article.
Thanks for listening to my first post.

This really needs to be fixed especially for vertically scrolling frames when swiping horizontally and vice versa.
With the new choices in the scrollable frame overlay it should be obvious that if you swipe in the other direction you want to go to new page.

I can't swipe to next page after placing my edge animation in dps

I've created an animation in Edge and exported it as a .oam file. I've placed it into dps (full page size) and although it plays fine I'm no unable to swipe between pages.
Initially I thought instead of using the animation at the full page size I could use it smaller so I would be able to swipe the area outside of the animated object. My problem with this is that the background of the page is a coloured gradient and as I've not managed to export my animation with a transparent background I need to set the background up in Edge also. This leaves me with the problem of how to navigate to the next page?
Im new to Edge (as you can probably tell) so any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hey Ross,
There's currently a bug when using DPS where the poster image won't clear from the composition and remains in the background when it plays in DPS. Does your animation automatically play? If so I have a workaround for you.
If you set your poster image to transparent, and your stage to transparent, the animation will play on a transparent background. Create a 1x1 transparent png and import it into your EA composition. In the publish settings, set this PNG file to be your poster image.
Also be sure to set your stage colour to 0% alpha.
Publish and you should be good to go.
As for not being able to swipe, Animate compositions import as "Web Overlays" which means overlay in the most literal sense; they are placed on top of your publication so any interactivity you have may interfere with the gestures of your publication as created in ID. You can opt to turn interactivity off in the web overlay panel in ID, though this might defeat the purpose of your placed composition. It sounds like in your case if you're able to get the transparent stage to work this might remedy some of the problems you were having.
HTH,

Repeating frame over flow into next page

I have a report, on the first page of which I have a repeating frame. On the second I have only different paras of text.
When ever the repeating frame on the first page, returns data more than it can fit on the first page, it is getting printed on the second page. But as a result the text of the second page is being pushed down.
It also creates a gap between the place where the repeating frame data ends and the text of the second page starts. How to avoid this gap.
What is the solution . Please share.

Hi Nag,
Thanx for your question.
1. As you know its difficult to simulate the problem
through a sample report. I would like to know
which version of reports are you using?.
2. I suggest to surround your second repeating frame and the last paragrphs with a normal variable frame.
I mean include the second repeating frame and the last group frame into a variable frame that spans over the two pages. then you should set the "print object on" to "first page" and to "enclosing object"
for all parent frames.
3. if it does not work .Try this one too: To avoid the gap use "Anchor", anchor the last paragraphs frame to the second repeating frame by minimizing the gap between them(See help online about anchoring).
Hope this helps,
CB

Scrollable frames inside swipe MSOs

I'm trying to put an scrolling text frame inside of a scrolling box all inside a swipe able mso. The intended effect is that the user pulls a tab up from the bottom of the screen to expose most of the text, and then swipes the text to see the rest.
The effect is fine if the MSO is controlled by buttons, but when swipe between states is turned on, the scrolling text no longer works.
I tried changing the names of the items as suggested in James Lockman's article from a few years ago (http://blogs.adobe.com/jlockman/2012/02/08/nested-overlay-solution-for-dps/#comment-55), but that didn't work.
Any ideas?
Thanks

You’ve stumbled upon a limitation. That scroll within a scroll will work but not once you put it into an MSO.
Want to guess how I know this? <g

How do I get a box that surrounds all applications off?It prevents scanning to next pages

there is a box the surrounds everything on the phone that prevents me from even unlocking the phone. I tried to restart it and see if it went away but no success.

I have know idea what you're referring to but have you tried resetting the phone by holding down the power and Home buttons until the silver apple appears on the screen?

Swipe to next article in horizontal scroll. frame

Hi,
If the reader reaches the end of an horizontal scrollable frame, the swipe to the next article does not work (neither does two finger swipe work). Instead, swiping to the next page on the end of an vertical scroll. frame works fine (v29 viewer).
One more thing to fix.
Kind regards,
Yves

Yves,
Are you testing in Adobe Content Viewer or a custom viewer? We specifically did work to make swiping to the next article work inside a horizontal scrollable frame.

Scrollable frame in PDF-based folio prevents page swipe

Can someone confirm for me that scrollable frames in a PDF-based folio prevent one from being able to use that area to swipe to the next page?
Thanks,

I confirm too.
We publish a weekly magazine for iPad2 and iPad3.
iPad2 folio is a jpg one, and we use pdf format for iPad3.
Scrollable full page contents work fine on iPad2 but prevent swiping on iPad3.
Our solution: creating "cold zones" on the edges of the pages using buttons (setting them "navto://nowhere"). I think it's the simpliest way to make it work.

Can't swipe to next article on scrollable frame?

Hi,
I'm not sure what's happening here. I've got a page with a scrolling frame which covers the whole page, frame is set to scrolling, scroll direction is vertical only. I've just updated some of the scrollabe content and now when I view on iPad I can't swipe to the next article, the swipe to next article worked fine yesterday, all content and links work OK I just can't get off the page now... any suggestions?

So Okay,
Excuse the lame design (only 10 minutes of my lunch break left)
So I quickly mocked up a 768x1024 doc (Horizontal)
Made a Scrollable frame 732x952px to sit on the page bleed at the bottom and within left and right margins
Created 4000px Deep worth of fake content (Grouped and pasted into the scrolling frame)
Set to vertical scroll only
Popped a stickly overlay on top and a background image underneath
All in seperate layers.
Imported as a PNG article
and here are the results.
All images are screen grabs and the last demonstrates that even with a scrolling frame this long - if you import as png you can still horizontally swipe off it
All's good!
Tim

In the vertical page with scrollable content, i can´t swipe to next article. why?

in the vertical version of the page with one scrollable content frame, i can´t swipe to next article. the scrollable content frame has in both versions the exact size of the page. in the horizontal version this works perfectly. Used folio builder v22, pdf and smothscrolling off.
Message was edited by: lost in dps

Thanks for the answer. But i found out, that it was my fault. A status of an object was outside the scrolling content frame. But thank you for the possibilty to ask questions.

Scrollable Frames canceled out by video on page

I had wired up a scrollable frame (tab) at the bottom of my page. Tested and everything works fab. I added a layer above this scrollable area and dropped several video clips into the layout. Those clips are part of the main page content.
As soon as I did this, the container and the scrollable content placed into that container doesn't render when the file is Published/tested. It fails on both Desktop and iPad Viewer.
If I hide the layers contain the video clips the scrollable frame content returns and works just fine. Is this a known issue that video even being present on the same page kills scrollable content?
New to using scrollable frames along side video content, and I haven't tried the myriad of hacks to get it to work. Want to start with the obvious questions... should this work?
Thanks
Steve

I've made some progress, and have also made some odd discoveries.
So, I was able to make the MSO work - but it doesn't work consistently. I went back to the original approach of putting the tab on the first state, and the videos on the next 3 states, This way the tab starts things off, and as soon as someone taps the invisible buttons to jump to any video, those videos play fullscreen.
The trick is a tap to return to the first state where you are then able to drag the tab (scrollable frame) up. It might trip a few users, but is a trade off, where most people will just try to drag it again and will have success. Acceptable for this secondary content.
This page is the last page in a 9 page stack. When I "Preview" the page on Desktop or direct to iPad. the page loads up by itself and everything works great!
However, when I upload the whole article/stack to the DPS server, and download it. I of course have to swipe down from page 1. When I arrive on page 9, the videos work just fine, but the tab is gone on the first state. It doesn't render at all.
Once you click to a video, you see the "dummy" tab appear on those other states. Clicking in that place holder area to return to the first state where the tab should be removes the "dummy" tab, and the actual tab doesn't render.
As you can imagine - this is maddening!
Thoughts I have... could something on the other pages be messing it up? Possibly, but every page in the rest of the article have static content, and 1 scrollable frames. No other videos OR multistates. And all the other scrollable frames work 100% of the time.
Is there a limit to the number of scrollable areas and I've hit it? I'm going to start trashing pages one at a time to see if I strike a nerve. But I'm grasping at straws.
If you think of something, all suggestions are welcome.
Thanks!

In MS Word, it is possible to prevent tables from breaking at page breaks. So, if a table, when populated with data gets too big for the spae allotted on one page, the table will move in its entirety, to the next page. Can this be done in "Pages"?

I am trying to figure out ow to prevent tables from breaking along a row when there is a page break in "Pages". This is done in MS Word by going under Table properties under "Rows". I have a document with small three row tables and I want to keep the tables together and move to the next page in its entirety when there is a page break. Help!

The table that I don't want to break between rows looks like this, except it fits the width of the page:
quilt name
picture of quilt
source
Size: XX; Difficulty Level: 3
I inserted a Inline Text box into the document, copied the table inside the text box, then pasted it through the document (which lists quilting projects). When the table spans a page break, even when in an inline text box, the picture which is in the right hand column splits, as well as the information pertaining to the particular quilt.
Jerry - thank you for your help. I tried to give you a "solved my problem" rating, but I am adjusting to the Mac slowly after 20+ years on a PC.

Frame line not display in next page of main window

hi Xpert,
I am creating layout in SAP SCRIpt,it working fine only the main window of next page frame line is not display.
i m define next page as a FIRST page and writing main window of first page following coding
/:           POSITION XORIGIN '0.50' CM YORIGIN '7.75' CM
/:           SIZE HEIGHT '17' CM WIDTH '19.25' CM
/:           BOX FRAME 10 TW
when i run the program first page are coming properly and only when i go in second page of output then main window lines not displaying.
please guide me how to solve this problem.
Regards,
pravin

Hi Praveen,
In that case why you have to make the main window in the first page and secondry window.
You can use it as manin window itself. Print the total amount in the main window itself in the first page. and copy that main window to the second page.
In the first page under the main window create a text. and there u print the total value and text.
Now copy the main window to the second page..only COPY DONT CREATE NEW.
In the second page now under the main window create the table to print the line items. What every u add in the second page main window it will come in the first age also in the smartforms. But it will nto get printed in the first page.After the text to print the totals call the COMMAND option and call next page in that.
Hope you got me..
Regards

I'm trying to place my edge animation in dps but I can't swipe over it to take me to the next page?

Hi, could anyone help with this?
I'm using an edge animation on the Samsung Galaxy and it won't allow me to swipe over to go to the next page. Does anyone have a solution to this, or can this not be done? Please advise.
Thanks

Hey Ross,
Another user had the same problem and came up with this workaround:
With regards to using it in DPS, it's not an ideal solution but I imported it as a web overlay rather than an html article and made it smaller than full page so there is a border around the edge on which the user can swipe to turn the page and tap to see menu options.

Repeating Frame leaves blank area on next page before record

I have a report with multiple repeating frames. Near the bottom of the first page the last repeating frame starts to print. If there are too many records to fit on the first page, they show up on subsequent pages. That is OK. However, on the 2nd, 3rd, etc. pages the records are part way down the page with much blank space between them and the header above.
I would like the records to start at the top of the next page just beneath the header. Also, because of another repeating frame before this one, I can't even be sure if this particular frame will always start printing on the first page.
I have tried properties such as page break, print object on, page protect, etc. They hve not resolved this issue to date.
Thanks in advance from a beginner.
DT

hello david
in this case you must consider what is printed on next pages ... for this i recomend newbie to colorize each frame and repeating frame to see what is there. from your describtion is possible that there are some objects on your frame with print condition set only to first page ... so they is not displayed on second, ... pages - this could happen f.e. with added descriptions, colmn heading, ... so my advice is to look why the space is there and then (maybe) make a correction ...
