Slideshow in interactive pdf (PDF is not a slideshow)

Hi, I am looking to create a slideshow in interactive pdf.
My first try i used images and created an object state. I exported it to test and it didnt work. The only way this option would work is to save as .swf. I dont want document to be a swf but pdf. So I found another solution to save the slideshow seperate as a swf and place into the pdf. It works. exported and it works. This seems to be the better way.
Now the only issue is that when I open the interactive pdf, the slideshow shows up as a flash button. You have to click on it for the slideshow to show up but it does work.
Is there a better way, or is there a way to automatically show the slideshow vs the flash button.
Ive uploaded it to drop box here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pkoqrb6n1ndpsqn/sAUk-gDPky
Thanks

There's nothing you can do about this. It's a security setting and is set by each individual.
I would avoid SWF like the plague. It won't play on mobile devices at all.

Pdf object postMessage not working in FF 22

Hi,
After updating my FF to 22, i seen pdf object postMessage function does not working. We used adbove livecycle intraactive pdf forms to collect the data from the user.
When user click the save button from the pdf, postMessage function called, but after update this not getting execute.
For your reference i include the URL which also had the same problem. I also tried without addons.
Refer: http://www.windjack.com/WindJack/Browser2PDF/brwsr2acroJS.htm
HTML to PDF => works
PDF to HTML => not working (in earlier versions it worked)
Thanks n Regards

This is likely the fault of Livecycle Interactive. Most likely, Adobe has not yet provided an update for supporting Firefox 22. I would recommend informing adobe support about it.

Pdf files will not open

Hi,
I have viewed through this forum and did not find a problem with similar symptoms.
I upgraded from Adobe Reader 8 to Reader 9 and then the .pdf files will not open.
Actions and Observations/Symptoms:
1) After I clicked onto the pdf document icon - nothing happens.
2) I right click onto the pdf icon and chose "open with Adobe 9" and get the same response. Nothing happens.
3) I go to the the start menu - select Adobe Reader 9 - and the program does not even open.
=======
I have since removed Reader 9 and re-installed Reader 8. I tried the above actions and got the same behaviour. Not a whole lot happens. It seems like something is broken after the first initial upgrade.
In fact - I went to the folder:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader and
tried to open Reader by double clicking onto "AcroRd32.exe" and there was no response.
I'm completely lost! Can anyone share a fix to my problem?
Thanks,
Mike
Some hardware & OS background info: Toshiba Laptop - 1.58 Ghz, 3GB RAM - M/S Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3

I can't explain the cause to the problem - but I found two "work-arounds" to get me running again.
Workaround #1:
I found another program (and there are many) on the web that will also read .pdf files. I downloaded "Foxit Reader" , installed it and it works. I can now view my pdf docs!
However - I got so used to Adobe Reader - I really wanted to get Reader working again.
Workaround #2:
I re-installed Adobe Reader 8.
Instead of running the usual Adobe installation script that I got from the web, I copied (from another PC's C-drive) the "Reader 8.0" folder and all its contents into my current C- drive directory structure C:\Program Files\Adobe\.
I re-booted the PC and can now open my pdf files using Reader 8.
It seems to work - but I don't know what the effects of this installation method will have in the future - or the interaction it will have with other programs. I guess when I need to remove the program in the future - I'll have to do it manually, since it doesn't even register in the "Add or Remove Programs" under Control Panel.
===============
Hope this helps out anyone else with similar symptoms.
In the original problem, it's unfortunate that there were no error messages whatsoever when I tried opening the pdf files. It was like as if Reader was not even activated or even loaded on my PC. I'll bug me for a while - but at least I got Reader working again (for now....)!

Reader 11.0.10: the links pointing to other pdf-Documents do not function anymore.

I have updated Reader 11.0.09 to 11.0.10. But now the linked pdf-documents in the main-pdf-document do not open. Nothing happens until I disable the "Sandbox-protection" (potected mode enabled by start). Under 11.0.09 this was not neccessary! Is there a bug in 11.0.10?

Hi grissler,
Are the linked pdf documents weblinks?
PDFs have evolved from static pages to complex documents with features such as interactive forms, multimedia content, scripting, and other capabilities. These features leave PDFs vulnerable to malicious scripts or actions that can damage your computer or steal data. Enhanced security lets you protect your computer against these threats by blocking or selectively permitting actions for trusted locations and files.
When enhanced security is enabled and a PDF tries to complete a restricted action from an untrusted location or file, a security warning appears. The type of warning depends on the action and your version of Acrobat or Reader.
If yes then you need to add it to the trusted list. To bypass the enhanced security restriuctions, please refer: Adobe Acrobat X Pro * Enhanced security

PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document.

I am trying to down load an HMRC file ChV1 which I believe is interactive (my layman's description - I have to fill it in) but I get the message ...
"If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF
viewer may not be able to display this type of document. , etc.,
I am using Windows 7 and Google Chrome
But I have the latest version - Adobe Reader Version 11.0.10. Can anyone help, please?

It may be that the "PDF form" is an XFA form created by LiveCycle Designer. These forms are wrapped in PDF and to view/use one must use Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
BUT -- today one can use browsers that provide their own built-in PDF reader that cannot 'service' XFA forms.
Google Chrome is one of those browsers. So, don't bother with trying to view/use/do any thing to - with PDFs when using Chrome.
Save the PDF to your computer's HDD.
Now, open the PDF with Adobe Reader XI (fully updated of course). Process the form.
Be well...

Create Interactive 3D PDF file from Illustrator CS4 DXF or DWG iii

Hi,
I posted similar question in the Mac Creative Suite section and Acrobat and I was asked to move my question here to Illustrator so i hope no one gets angry with me. I wasn't sure where to post because I'm not sure what direction to go.
I want to create an interactive 3D PDF, the kind with the 3D controls which allow you to rotate the product to view it at different angles and sides.
What I have are DWG or DXF files from SolidWorks that I would like to use in Illustrator to apply artwork onto the CAD frame. Using the Illustrator 3D tool I can rotate the product but I have no way to export the U3D file format which Acrobat requires to generate a 3D PDF file.
How can I accomplish this? I need some direction to go in as far as bridging applications together in order to make this work.
Is there an Illustrator plugin to export U3D?
I basically need to apply graphics to a CAD frame first in Illustrator then get it into an interactive 3D model.
I tried downloading Blender but I can't even get it to open my DXF file.
I tried downloading Esko Artwork Studio but that plugin tells me I don't have a Structured Design File to work with.
I've read online hear about Acrobat X and Tetra but I'm having a hard time connecting the "software dots" to get where I want to go from what I have to work with.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Well, you don't need Illustrator at all... To output a 3D PDF, you will need tools liek Deep Exploration CAD Edition or the export features of the respective CAD programs in which the drawings were created. And STEP and IGES are both standardized CAD interchange formats not specifically tied to a specific CAD program...

My pdf's will not dl either and nothing will open except qt picture viewer.

Differences between PDF (Interactive) and PDF (Print)

What are the main differences between PDF (Interactive) and PDF (Print)?
Now it seems to me that PDF (Interactive) is limited version of PDF (Print).
Any links to read about this topic?
Thank you in advance,
Mykolas

There's actually quite a few differences between (Interactive) and (Print).
Here's a list of pointers written by Michael Ninness (previous product manager of InDesign and now working at Lynda.com) http://www.lynda.com/michaelninness
I just got premission from him to post this (Thanks Michael!):
Here is some info for you regarding what choices are being made under the hood when you choose File > Export > Adobe PDF (Interactive).
Things that just happen or are included, with no choice in the dialog box:
Hyperlinks, Bookmarks, Fast Web view, Compress Text and Line Art, Crop Image Data to Frames.
Things that are not included, with no choice in the dialog box:
Visible Guides/Grids, Hidden and Non-Printing Layers, Hidden and Non-Printing Objects, Marks & Bleeds, No Ink Manager or Simulate Overprint options.
Things that you can choose:
Security Settings, Embed Page Thumbnails, Create Tagged PDF, Create Acrobat Layers, Initial View, Initial Layout, Open in Full Screen Mode, Page Transitions, Image compression and resolution.
Other:
Fonts: Subset 100%
Color Conversion: Destination
Destination: sRGB
Profile Inclusion Policy: Include Destination Profile
Transparency Flattener: No Flattening
And lastly, Compatibility is set to Acrobat 9 (PDF 1.7). This last point is important, and largely explains the main reason we split Interactive PDF out as a separate export choice from Print PDF. When you export an interactive PDF from CS5, included media is now written out to the Rich Media Annotation Layer, which means this content is played back via the embedded Flash Player within Acrobat Pro 9 or Adobe Reader 9 or higher. In previous versions, this content was written out to the Screen Annotation Layer, which meant this content was played back via QuickTime. This has been a long-standing headache for end users as playback across platforms was often inconsistent, would frequently break when Apple updated QuickTime, etc.
Lastly, if you want to include rich media in your interactive PDFs (SWFs, audio and video), the only formats supported if you want to target Adobe PDF (Interactive) are MP3 for audio and FLV for video. Other file formats will need to be converted to these formats before you export to Interactive PDF. For video files, you’ll be able to convert to FLV with Adobe Media Encoder. For audio files, you can use any number for free audio conversion tools, including iTunes.

Heavy performance issues using Adobe Interactive Form PDFs generated by SAP BPM

Dear experts,
we use Adobe Interactive Form PDFs (generated with LiveCycle Designer) as Human Tasks within SAP BPM processes. The PDFs are generated and transmitted correctly, but when they are opened at the receivers PC, Windows freezes for 2-3 minutes, then the PDF opens and can be filled out and sent back. The next PDFs can be opened much faster, but when the PC is restarted, we get the same problem again. We use Adobe Reader XI (11.0.2) on our clients; is their any know performance issue?
Please note, that we have this problem with EVERY Adobe Interactive Form PDF... I created a simple PDF containing just a field and the client PC still freezes. So it can't be in the form or the scripting. Normal static PDFs can be opend without any problems.
Best regards,
David

They haven't really announced it, because there is no product to announce. Rather the opposite.
There are no conversion tools, so far as I know.
XFA forms are a non-starter if you want portability.
AcroForms are a nightmare in themselves, because the functionality is limited in Adobe Reader and varies between absent and weird in other products. No idea about Blackberry support.
You will not find a simple recommendation. Rather, you need to use Acroforms and carefully test everything (EVERYTHING: no assumptions) on every platform you intend to support.
Yes, rather unsatisfactory, but until Adobe realise that the future is platform equivalence or irrelevance, this is where we are.

Interactive report PDF download

Hi,
PDF output is not proper when interactive report is having more number of columns. I have a interactive report with 40 columns. I tried to change Page attributes in print attributes tab. But there is no change.
Please tell me what setups to be done for this.
Regards
Mohan

hi ,
i think you need to configure BIpublisher to setup inside your server to get the pdf output from apex report.

Re: Interactive Adobe PDF forms

Hi,
In interactive Adobe PDF forms only two events are give such as OnCheck and OnSubmit. Is it possible to use other events appart from check and submit.If so how to use it and where to code it.
Is Interactive pdf forms are ment for these two purposes only.
Thanks and regards .
Karthik

Hi
The other events you may need would be mostly for field level validations. The adobe framework allows one to write javascripts. Every UI element on the Adobe will have its own set of events. For eg say u want to fill a dropdown frm a RFC when an other UI in the form is clicked and you choose not to use the oncheck or submit action, here is the way:
Make the RFC a webservice, call the webservice using javascript in the onclick action of UI element 1. Similarly you can use other events to fill, validate and manipulate data. Finally once all that is done submit the data to SAP. Hope it helps. Thank you.

Downloaded certain files from my old computer on a memory stick.Have inputted stick into my new mac and can open PDF files but not xlr,aww or eps files.Is there a solution to this please?

Transferred certain files to my new Mac from my old computer via memory stick.Can open PDF files but not xlr,aww or wps ones.The important ones are in xlr format.Is there a solution please?

My guess is they don't care. Most likely they're illiterate and don't know what a colon is for. They probably think it's a little-used character. Remember: these are the people who don't know the difference between "deprecate" and "depreciate".
I have the same colon problem as you do. But it's not the biggest problem I have encountered in Lion. If it was only that I'd be Mr. Delighted with Lion. There's worse than having a colon - uh - that won't cooperate. A lot worse, in Lion.

The PDF output is not always displayed!

Hello
I'm tryin' to build some PDF outputs and I have the next problem: I have 20 reports to make it on PDF form (viewed with the Acrobat plugin from IE 5.5 or higher) and when I try to see what was builded the PDF it's not always displayed ( mean it's not readed by the plugin). I generate the PDF output from a servlet (which also set the servlet output context as 'application/pdf') and, if the output it's generated too fast (meanning the report information was too small), the Acrobat plugin doesn't catch him ! I think that I have to slow down the servlet response to allow the plugin complete loading, but I don't khow how to do this (and, ofcourse, if it's possible).
Please, I need a solution. !
Thanx!

Hi,
setting content type as application/pdf is quite enough for the plugin to catch
I generate the PDF output from a servlet
(which also set the servlet output context as
'application/pdf') and, if the output it's generated
too fast (meanning the report information was too
small), the Acrobat plugin doesn't catch him !but i think IE has a problem catching this, cause i also once ran thro this kind of problem
I think that I have to slow down the servlet response to allow
the plugin complete loading, but I don't khow how to
do this (and, ofcourse, if it's possible). Yes it is possible.... if ur sevrvlet ehich is displaying pdf is http://host/PdfServert
just make in such a way that the extention is pdf..
http://host/PdfServert?xy=z.pdf or register the servlet with .pdf ext
http://host/PdfServert.pdf...
belive it really worked perfect for me..
