State objects with pdf's on indesign

I have an transition of state objects with pdf's but automatic reproduction not function in the ipad. I can see it in the Content viewer desktop. Help me!!!

While not common, what you describe is no unusual either. I can tell you that the person who created the PDF almost certainly used Adobe's products. It is Adobe that is not compatible with all of the other PDF implementations. I encourage you to submit a bug report to Apple and include a copy of the PDF. There was a "bug" in Apple's PDF rendering software in version 10.6.7 for which Apple released a fix fairly quickly. I say "bug" in quotes because the PDF was perfectly valid according to all published standards. All PDF viewing programs on either Mac or Windows could read the PDF - except Adobe.
Ultimately, PDF is a print technology and will fall by the technology wayside pretty soon.

Help with PDF settings in InDesign for Newspaper print

Hi I work for a newspaper and until recently we have done the newspaper layout in Pagemaker. We finally changed to InDesign. I am now at the point where I have to export to PDF. What would be the best to use, export as PDF or printing to postscript? I'm not exactly sure what PDF setting to use if I do export it? With Pagemaker I used to print to a
Postscript printer

I suggest you ask the person that will recieve your file, what suits him or her best.
If it's a PDF exported from InDesign, you could even ask for a definition file to import (see screen shot for the menu item to select), so that you don't need to make all settings yourself, but get them correct from the start.
Best regards

Can i use data merge with pdf images in indesign?

Hi need to do a data merge but with pdf's not jpg or tifs. I am having the result with jpgs but not with pdf's.
Can i do it with pdf's?

in fact that is not a problem because i have both pdfs same size and orientated, the only thing is that i cannot use the pdf docs for some reason.
eg. in the csv file i have (this is not working)
Field 1                                      Field2
'@background                          '@page
Machintosh HD:bg1.pdf           Machintosh HD:page1.pdf
eg. in the csv file i have (this works)
Field 1                                      Field2
'@background                          '@page
Machintosh HD:bg1.psd           Machintosh HD:page1.psd
I would like to use the pdf file is there a different way to do so?

Urgent text shifting problem with pdf creation from indesign

I have eps files placed in indesign and when some pages of my document are exported as pdf for press, the text moves slightly, like 1/16" or less, but enough to cause problems. I'm using the original Indesign CS and eps files saved out of Illustrator 10. Yup, old.....I know, but it's what I have to work with right now. Some files are working fine but others are don't and they were all created/saved/exported the same, as far as I can tell. Here's a small sample. All the street name text is shifted down and to the left from the actually street. Occurring with text on path as well as straight text. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

You might also try exporting to .idml form CS5 (see Remove minor corruption by exporting). We've had other reports of similar beahvior when working with legacy files, and exporting to .inx from the original version may work even better.

Issues with PDF Converter and InDesign files

Step InDesignToPDF forced conversion failure by conversion engine because of error: 'Unable to convert, the printer 'IDC PDF Converter' is not printing to 'c:/temp/idcoutput.ps'.'.
Thanks a ton!

Is there a maximum number of "multi state objects" per article? Indesign keeps crashing

Hi, i have 12 multi state objects on a page, and indesign keeps crashing.
i know this seems like a high number, but I have done this to create a work around - ticker (like an old style airport board e.g. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=airport+board&espv=2&biw=1306&bih=653&source=lnms&tbm=is ch&sa=X&ei=TkYUVb3ZJIb0PJ7DgZg… each set of 3 creating one graphic e.g. 3.35
After creating these Indesign keeps crashing when i try to preview?
Any advice would be appreciated.

It sounds like you're running in to a memory problem: Memory Handling in DPS
That said, usually multiple MSOs on the page don't usually cause memory problems because only the first state of the MSO is loaded into memory. If the first state of each MSO is loading a web overlay displaying ticker information, then that's the most likely culprit. Consider redesigning the page so that only a few tickers are loaded into memory and the user needs to tap to reveal additional tickers.

InDesign cs6 crashes when exporting objects with drop shadows to interactive PDF

I am using the trial version of InDesign CS6 on a mac OSX 10.7.4 I need to export my document as an interactive PDF. I have found that the export works fine so long as none of the objects within my document have a drop shadow. However, if I add a drop shadow to any object (text, images, or video) InDesign will crash when I try to export. I am adding the drop shadow by selecting the object and then choosing Object > Effects > Drop Shadow. Is there another method I should be using to add the shadow if I want to export to an Interactive PDF?

Hi Peter, thanks for the response. Yes, I have tried creating a new blank project and adding one text object with a drop shadow and then exporting to Interactive PDF, and I experienced the same result. I tried replacing my preferences as you suggested and found that it did not have any affect.
I continued developing my InDesign document without using any drop shadows and began to experience the same type of crashing under two more circumstances. 1. When relinking assets in my Links panel. 2. When exporting to interactive PDF with interactive objects that are being clipped (I get a warning telling me I have clipped objects before I export; when I click export I experience the same crash.) I have tried exporting the same file to a print (non-interactive) PDF and experienced no crashing.
I thought I should mention that I am using a retina display mac book pro with 16GB RAM. Could my graphics cards or the configureation of my machine be causing my issue?
Thanks so much,

Problem with PDF 1.3-Export: Photoshop-Files with transparency over InDesign colored objects

Hello!
I'm using InDesign CS6.
I'v finished now a layout for a folder, and I put a photoshop-image with transparency over a InDesign-rectangle which I have filled with a cmyk-color in yellow.
When I export a PDF with the Settings "PDF X-3:2002" (with PDF-Standard 1.3) the Photoshop-image shows uggley jagged edges at the border to the InDesign-colored background. However, the Photoshop-images which are over another bitmap-image (as background), this images don't show this annoying edges.
When I export to PDF-Standard 1.4 the problem doesn't occor, however my printing-service requests PDF 1.3.
I know, the workaround for this problem is, to replace the yellow background-color with an bitmap-file with the same color, but is there any other option to get a correct result without this more time-consuming image trick?
I think it has to do with the transparency reduction which is necessary if using PDF 1.3. When I examine the PDF-File in Illustrator, this edges occurs mostly at the borders from the tiles in which the image is cut during the transparency reduction process. Although, if I open the rendered PDF in Photoshop this jagged edeges are visible, so it is definitly a render error.
I would be glad if someone of you has a solution for this problem, in the attachment is an image which illustrate the problem.
Best wishes

Find another printer.
End of problem. It really saddens me to think that these Luddites are
still in business making no effort to move into the 21st century.

Object with multiple states and slider in folio are rasterized, settings seem correct.

I am having trouble keeping An object with multiple text states from being rasterized, as well as a slider that is also rastering.
I have read that you are supposed to set the folio and article up to be .pdf and that the slider should have the vector option chosen.
I haven't found anything for the multi state object to for these settings.
What happens is when I output the folio to Adobe Content Viewer, only the text in those items is rasterized. All other text is crisp. Tested on both iPad Mini and iPad Retina and the both are blurry.
Is there a way to force the vector option? It seems even with the correct options selected it is still rastering the test in interactive elements.
Thanks!

Here is the MSO with the folio.
Here is the Slider with folio overlays panel.

Object with gradient feather disappears upon export to pdf

I'm troubleshooting a file where an object with a gradient feather disappears from the exported .pdf file. The rest of the file is perfect. I've tried different .pdf presets. I've tried moving the offending object to its own layer at the bottom of the layer stack. I've tried copying all the art to a new file. I've tried grouping everything. Nothing is working. I can successfully export to .jpg format. I'm using InDesign CS5 on an iMac. Thanks for any suggestions.

InDesign file on the left, PDF on the right.

My multi-state object disappear's when I export to PDF but works in Preview mode?

I created a multi-state object which is a series of logos that appear when a button is clicked. There are two buttons one is set to go the the previous state and one is set to go to the next state. When I view it in the preview mode it works fine but when I export it to PDF nothing happens when I click the buttons. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Multi-state objects are NOT supported in PDF. The PDF standard preceded the development of multi-state objects. It's now under the control of the ISO so may be slow to adapt.
They work when exporting to SWF or with the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite.

Interactive pdf - Buttons within multi-state objects

Hi,
I seem to have a problem. I dont know if it is even possible, but I made a button that goes to a status of 2 multi-state objects. Within one of those multi-state objects is a button that closes that multi-state object. So now I am wondering if it is possible to make that same button close the other multi-state object aswell?
Marc

Yes, you can attach multiple actions to one button, but there´s a bigger problem... based on your title I guess you are trying to use multistate objects with interactive PDF and that´s not possible. MSOs are supported only with SWF exports and with Adobe DPS / Folios....

Multiple Problems with PDF InDesign, Bridge, and Acrobat Reader

I create proof books with a blend of Adobe Bridge & InDesign.
Here is my work flow: I will BOLD the errors I am having and need help with.
Step 1.) I create contact sheets in Bridge and save them as PDF's
Problem with Bridge ( I have another posting for this thread as well under Bridge) I cannot save PDF's larger than 400ish photos at 300ppi (important for my printer) without it saving as a blank PDF. COMPLETELY EMTPY! So I have to split up my photos into groups of 400 or less photos then patch them back together.
Problem with Acrobat: If I patch those PDF’s back together with Adobe Acrobat (a suggestion from another person on here) they save great but I get an error when I try to import them in indesign. The error reading: ERROR. Cannot determine page count.
Please open the PDF file in Acrobat, do a “Save As…” and try again. (99)
Step 2.) I use a script (MultiPageImporter2.2.1.jsx) to import the PDF's into Indesign. (if saved as one pdf in acrobat I get the above error)
Problem With InDesign: I run this importer script in InDesign to create my books with a template I use from my printers. Well since I have to import multiple pdf with multiple pages ( because I can’t piece them together without the above error. Then I have this problem:
I place a pdf with 1-226 pages in. I start this on page 1.
I place the next pdf with 1-141 pages in. I start this on page 227.
An error pops up that says I MUST start my import on page 226!!!!!!!!!! I don’t want to import on page 226 because I have two photos on that page!
I tried it several ways and no matter what I loose my last page of my first import.
PLEASE someone help me! I feel like I might be doing something really silly but I’ve spent 7.5 hours today working on this books with error after error.
I have done all the updates on my computers and nothing works. I use two macs and both have the same errors. I have a mac-book Pro | snow leopard and a Imac | snow leopard.
Thanks much!

All your problems seem to stem from the PDFs that you are making from Bridge. What you are describing should be perfectly possible, but the fact that Bridge doesn't want to make a PDF with more than 400 photos and it all goes downhill from there makes me suspect Bridge.
Here's a plugin that may help? Looks pretty cheap for what it does.
Apart from that I'd try to clean up the PDFs that Bridge is producing if Indesign doesn't like them. One way would be to print to a new PDF, after you've combined them as necessary.
As to the last pronlem you mention, where it forces you to place on page 226, have you tried creating a blank page 227 first, before you try placing?

Unable to create PDF/A with PDF from InDesign

Hello,
I'm trying to create PDF/A document from InDesign CS4 with Adobe Acrobat 9.
I create my PDF from InDesign (I create a tagged PDF).
For each document create from InDesign, I receive this message from the Preeflight "Convert to PDF/A (sRGB)" of Acrobat.
PDF document is not compliant with PDF/A-1a (2005)
- Structured PDF : Type entry in a structure element not "StructElem"
- Structured PDF : Type entry missing
Thank for your help.
Cyril.

Hi graffiti,
let me clarify my question. Indesign doesn't export to PDF/A1a.
Acrobat has to convert a tagged PDF 1.5 document generated by indesign to PDF/A1a.
If anyone could explain the errors to me:
- Structured PDF : Type entry in a structure element not "StructElem"
- Structured PDF : Type entry missing
...this would also be greatly appreciated so i can narrow my search.
Since you guys are the PDF experts and Acrobat does the conversion i believe this forum is the place to find answers.
(Also the problem has already been presented on the indesign-forum: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1959226#1959226 where the advise was to pose the question here)
