Video Autoplay when Interactive button added

I am having an issue with a video slide auto playing when a interactive button is added.
From the first slide of the project I have an interactive index that jumps to different slides. When it jumps to another slide the video slide will auto play, but when adding an interactive button to jump back to the home page the video no longer auto plays.
I have added SS to show the index and the video slide.

Just a guess here, but typically a button has a pause built into it. So you may need to check and adjust exactly where the pause is occurring.
Cheers... Rick

How to stop video Autoplay when opened in new tab (before clicking on the tab)

In Firefox on my old PC, and Safari on the current Mac, if I open a video in a new tab, the video would not auto-play, until I clicked on the tab. On Firefox on the Mac the video just auto plays. This is pretty annoying when I open 4 or 5 videos in different tabs and they all start playing. I want to click on the tab before it starts playing.
As safari on the Mac does not play the videos automatically, I am hoping there is a way to stop it on Firefox?
So an example is metacafe.com. If you open a video in a new tab, the video will start playing automatically, whether you click on the tab or not.
If you open up the same site in safari, and open the video in a new tab, the video will only start playing once you have clicked on the tab.

...still blooming me!
Who else the autoplay helps?

Submit fails when "OK" button added to form

I have a PDF form that I import to Forms central, then distribute. Users can submit the form just fine. However, as soon as I add an "OK" button to the form (using Adobe Pro XI) and re-import and distribute, all the "Submit" attempts fail. I can add checkboxes, no problem... Just the OK buttons that choke the submission. Any known work-around for this? Thanks!

We are working on this issue via email but I just want to post here in case someone else encouter a similar issue.
Make sure that the button you add is not used to make a hidden field visible. This will cause issue during submission as FormsCentral doesn't know about hidden fields and therefore the form will try to submit data that FormsCentral is not expecting resulting in a fail submission.

Adding interactive buttons in Acrobat X Standard disables the Commenting and markup tools

Why does adding interactive buttons to PDFs in Acrobat X Standard disable the Commenting and markup tools in the PDFs, but only when they are viewed in the Reader, not when opened in Acrobat? When the buttons are removed, the Commenting and markup tools are re-enabled in Reader.
Thank you.

Which version of Reader are you testing with?

Interactive buttons not working on interactive pdf when the Indesign links are set correctly

Hi all,
I have one Indesign CS6 manual containing 17 files, 126 pages. This has been set to a book file.
This has been translated into 14 languages and now we are having problems creating the interactive pdfs.
After fixing the broken interactive buttons within the Indd files, we are finding that when we create the interactive pdfs, not all interactive button links work. When we recreate the same langauge interactive pdf we are finding that the buttons that were not working the 1st time, are now working, and some buttons that were working, are now not working.
Is there a bug somewhere.
Any idea why the interactive buttons work one minute and then not the next, and vice versa.
Any idea how we can fix.
I’m using Indesign CS6 and Acrobat 9 Pro.
Thanks in advance.

Hi LoriAUC,
Thanks for this. Very much appreciated.
I have asked sagar-khanna from the other discussion is he knows more about the broken links etc.
Thanks again.

Indesign CS6 - Interactive Buttons - Destination links changing when opened on another computer

Hi,
I have encountered a bit of a problem with Indesign CS6.
I have a customer who has created an multi-chapter Indesign file which has interactive buttons within the each chapter in the book. These buttons are linking to each chapter. E.G., Buttons on the first page in chapter one, might link to the first page of Chapter three. This has been done by setting a destination, to the file and specifying the page number within the Interactive elements dialogue box. The client has created an interactive PDF out of this.
When I have opened the file on my side, all of the interactive destination elements have reverted to Page 1 of Chapter 1 in every single chapter (this is the first file in the book). Obviously, this means me relinking all of the locations again (there are over 2000 in the file that would need to be fixed).
Now, I am opening the file on a Windows PC in Windows 7 using CS6. However, the client has created the files on a Mac. Which could potentially be an issue maybe (I am testing this).
However, has anyone experienced this before, and is there a workaround?
James

Interactive Buttons in PDF not working when in iPhone

Hello!
I used CS3 to turn an InDesign document into an interactive PDF with buttons. It works just fine in a computer, but when I tried to view it in an iPhone, all interactive buttons are gone. Does anyone know why? Thanks! Here's the link for the PDF so you can try to view it on your own iPhones:
http://www.cgu.edu/PDFFiles/Creative%20Service%20PDFs/Visitors%20Guide/VisitorsGuide2010B- Web.pdf

Unfortunately there are no pdf reader which support this on neither the iPhone or the iPad.
You have to create an App or rely on the limited functionality of the the pdf readers.
I would like to see a pdf reader for the iPone, iPad ios supporting InDesign buttons and basis interactivity.

Adding to the content pane when a button is clicked

Hi there,
Could you have a look at my code please and tell me how I would execute the following code when a perticular button is pressed,
Container pane = getContentPane();
pane.setBackground(Color.white);
panel = new SwingOvalDrawing();
panel.setBackground(Color.white);
pane.add(panel,"Center");
If the code is left in the main method it will draw the oval when the program is launched, but if I insert the same code in the Action Performed method and press the button nothing happens, not only that but upon compiling the code the following error is shown
"local variable pane is accessed from within inner class; needs to be declared final"
Any help would be appreciated.

I tried declaring it as an object variable but still when the button is pressed nothing shows.
This is the button code
// Add the buttons.
JButton dCircleButton = new JButton("", buttonCircleIcon);
dCircleButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
     System.out.println("Button works ok");
     //canvasPanel = new Panel();
     //canvasPanel.add(panel, "Center");
     pane.add(panel,"Center");
});

Interactive buttons in InDesign - for an iPad

Hello!
For a University project, I have an assignment of pairing up with someone and creating a childrens e-book. Thing is, we've not had that long on it due to other deadlines, and the deadline for this project is this coming Friday (22nd).
We've created the layout of the e-book but the thing is, the buttons work on the Preview window box in InDesign, but it doesn't when using the Adobe Content Viewer app on an iPad - the assignment is creating the document for an iPad.
It's apparently because the buttons use Flash, and iPads dont support that.
We got given some artwork, and want to create a button/interactivity where the reader (a 3-6 year old?) needs to find a certain animal on the page, and then once they do, they need to tap it, in order for a fact to appear about it.
E.g...
This is one of the pages/screens. It tells the reader to find the seagull. Easy, I know, but when pressing onto the seagull, we want it to come up with the fact. The red box around the seagull is a button, and the box towards the top right of the seagull is the fact box which is activated after selecting the seagull.
It works fine in the InDesign preview tab... This was after clicking on the seagull, which resulted in the box appearing...
I've watched a video on the Adobe website about some converter from FLASH to HTML5 programme called Wallaby Technology Preview, but it didn't work with that. The person had a moving animation though I suppose, and not buttons.
Something like a pop-up message would work in iBook Author but it needs to be created using InDesign. (This version i'm using is 5.5)
Many Thanks!

The popup panel (text description) would be your multiple state object. It can be an ordinary element, it does not need to be turned into an interactive object. Select the popup frame, and in the Object State panel flyout, select "New State". This will create an Object (you can name this) with two states. Select State 1 and colorize the frame and text to none (for the invisible state). Leave State 2 as is (for the visible state). Make the seagull art an interactive button. Then select your event: "On Click" and Action "Go to State" and Object "Popup Panel" and State "State 2"

Interactive buttons in Indesign CS6

I'm currently working on a pdf interactive project. A requirement of the project is to have the music looped with buttons to control it which I have done, but I must be missing a step. I've added music and have made the "play", "pause", "resume" and "stop" button on the master page and I've also added actions to the buttons as well. When I export the file as a pdf interactive and open it in Acrobat, the music does start playing when the button is pressed, etc. but as soon as I go to the next page and try to "pause" or "stop" nothing happens or else I have a nice cannon effect as the song start ups again while the other is playing from the previous page. I'm quite new to Indesign and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Playing sounds/music in PDF is page-specific. You can't control the sounds/music throughout the pages. Only on the page you're on. This is a limitation of PDF and has absolutely nothing to do with Adobe InDesign.
If you want to know more about PDF media capabilities and limitations, your best bet is the Acrobat forums. (Acrobat has more controls than InDesign is able to access when it creates interactive PDFs.)
The best forum is the Rich Media/3D forum for Acrobat:

How to Load Progressive-Download Video just when I press Play?

I have set the Progressive-Download video instead of Streaming-Video (because my webserver provider "aruba.it" doesn't offer
streaming videos), in Flash CS4 Professional, and exported to Dreamweaver CS4.
I have also inserted the HTML code in Dreamweaver CS4 to enable FullScreen Playback of Flash .flv Videos.
Now I have a problem:
- When the webpage loads into Internet Explorer 7, it take much time to load all the videos at same time!
Thus I want this:
- I want that the videos start to load just when I press the Play button, individually, not at same time.
- I don't not want that start the load immediately when the webpage opens in IE7.
- I want that the videos start to load content in the same manner of YouTube videos, just when I press play.
How can I do?
What is the HTML code that I should insert into DreamweaverCS4?
I have seen this help page:
http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/fl/video/FLVPlayback.html#lo ad()
At Chapter "Public Methods" I have seen this "load" function:
"Begins loading the FLV file and provides a shortcut for setting the autoPlay property to false and setting the source, totalTime, and isLive properties, if given..."
Can be useful this function?
Horsepower0171.

Excuse me, I am a beginner user of FlashCS4.
OK!
StepByStep:
My site is http://www.cavallodario.it. Please see the third top section called "Sezione 3D">Maya>the last bottom video on the page is published as Streming video (I think)...
There, are all the videos.
I have understood that YouTube video is http streaming.
Instead, in FlashProCS4, I have seen a second Option after ImportVideo Menu (is Flash Media Server streaming?):
1) "Sul Computer" (on the Desktop, local); NOT CHECKED
2) "Già distribuito su un server Web, Flash Video Streaming Service o Flash Media Server"; CHECKED and selected the URL: http://www.cavallodario.it/filmati_Maya/flv/Wagon_01_PAL_Letterbox.flv
> Next > SkinBar with Fullscreen Button (called "SkinUnderPlayStopSeekFullVol.swf") > Next > End.
But I have a doubt if this is a streaming function:
-After published the webpage via FTP with Dreamweaver, in IE7 browser the loading progress bar appears immediately, and loads the video when the webpage appears, not when I press Play Button!
Why this?
How I can do to load the video just when I press the Play button?
- I have seen the "NetConnection / NetStream" classes in the FlashCS4 Help, but I am a confused beginner user and I don't want write an ActionScript code to build a custom navigation bar.
Please response me!
Thanks!

PDF for Print with interactive buttons

In ID CS4 when exporting a book to PDF, the buttons were automatically added when "interactive elements" were checked in the export dialog box. In ID CS5, the export book to PDF requires you to select the "for Print" or "Interactive". I want to create a single file that can be used for print and has some interactive elements included.
When I select export for PDF "Interactive" the two page spreads (8.5 x 11) turn to one large spread (11 x 17). I don't want the large spreads, but I do want the interactive buttons (return to last page viewed) I have at the bottom of the page.
Is there a setting I am missing?
This worked in CS4, why is it not letting me do the same thing in CS5??
Thanks for your help!

IDCS4: Major bug creating interactive buttons

I have a number of IDCS3 files with interactive buttons which jump to a specific page of the document using bookmarks. These buttons no longer work when the file is opened in IDCS4.
In CS4, the button has a "Go to text anchor" action applied however the Text Anchor pop-up below is greyed out and says None. All the Bookmarks that I've created are present and correct. It would appear that CS4 is ignoring page bookmarks and will now only work with text anchors.
This bug is also very easy to recreate with a new document in CS4:
1. Create a new two page document.
2. Go to page two and add a bookmark.
3. Go to page one, create a button and add the "Go to Anchor" action.
4. The Text Anchor pop-up should show the bookmark that was added it step 2 but it remains greyed-out.
I've submitted this to Adobe and reverted back to using CS3 for any interactive work.
Graham.

Hi Sandee,
Thanks very much for confirming the bug and for the workaround however this is a lot of work for my existing projects and easier to simple update them using CS3.
Hmmmm... now, your comment "...bookmarks have never been recognized as part of making buttons." - try telling that to IDCS3, it even indicates that you've linked to a bookmark when you add a "Go to Anchor" behaviour to a button. I found this method more flexible and, to my simple way of thinking, more logical - a Bookmark goes to to a page in a document while a Hyperlink goes to a URL. For new CS4 projects I will now have to use the Hyperlink Destination (Type: Page) option instead. Oh well...
So the problem isn't insurmountable for new projects but is still a bug in that it "breaks" legacy CS3 files opened in CS4 - and that's the argument I'll focus on when I hear back from Adobe.
Cheers, Graham.

User interaction button

Hi Experts,
       I have developed a function module and after running it , in the output screen i want to have user interaction by giving proceed button and if press the buttoon o/p of the FM should be downloaded.
To add the button in o/p screen i used the Screen statement AT USER COMMAND, AT LINE-SELECTION. But FM not access these screen statements.Then i created a screen 100 with PF Status, in that screen i have maintained the proceed button. Then i call this screen inside the FM. The screen is coming along with the proceed button. But the FM o/p not coming along this proceed button screen.
Please help out to have a button for user interaction in o/p of the FM.
Thanks.
Kelvin

Hi Kelvin,
     You have created a screen and then you have added the Proceed button in the screen. Later you have called the screen in the FM . When executing the FM you are able to see the proceed button but you are not able to download the data after that.
The solution is.
     Move your data to a Global variable declared in the TOP INCLUDE of the function group of the FM. Now In the FM before calling screen move all the processed data in FM to that Global variable then in you PAI of the screen, under USER_COMMAND module, Check if the Proceed button is pressed. And if pressed Enter your LOGIC. Code sample given below.
Lets day the data you have to download is in internal table it_data.
Do as mentioned below.
1). In your top include.
DATA: it_data TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_data.
2). In your FM.
it_final is the table in FM which has your processed data and this is also of same structure ty_data.
it_data[] = it_final[]. " moving all the data to global variable.
CALL SCREEN 100.
3). in the PAI of screen 100.
MODULE USER_COMMAND INPUT.
CASE sy-ucomm.
WHEN 'PROCEED'.
<logic to download the it_data table>
ENDCASE.
ENDMODULE.
Thus your requirement can be achieved by moving the data to a global variable then downloading it using user interaction button.
Please do let me know for more details.

Praveenkumar T.

Problem with Interactive Buttons

Hi all,
I seem to be having trouble with Interactive Buttons.
InDesign CS5 - Version 7.0.3
I create a document with 2 pages (Facing Pages is checked).
I add a text box to each page, Page one's text box says "1" and page two's says "2".
Page two's text box I right click and select Interactive | New Hyperlink Destination - Type: Page, Page: 2, Zoom Setting: Fixed
On Page one I add a sample button from the buttons panel.
I select the button and then display the buttons panel.
I remove the default "Go To URL" action and add an action of "Go To Destination" using the Event of "On Release"
When I preview the page from the "Preview" panel, I click "Play" and can see the first page and the button (great), but when I click the button, nothing happens.
The mouse changes as I mouse over the button, the state of the button changes to the rollover state... all seems well but it doesn't actually perform the action of going to the next page.
I have tried exporting to PDF and making sure that "Include Bookmarks" and "References" is checked as well as making sure that "Create Tagged PDF" is checked but the exported pdf doesn't run the action either!
What am I doing wrong? It seemed so easy when I looked at some video tutorials on how to do it.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Andy

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the fast response.
I fixed the issue with the preview window (saw a previous post).
However the Export options I have are:
Adobe PDF Presets...
Define
High Quality Print
PDF/X-1a:2001
PDF/X- 3:2002
PDF/X- 4:2008
Press Quality
Smallest File Size
Export...
Export For....
Buzzword (greyed out)
Dreamweaver
EPUB...
If I choose Export... I cannot see an option for exporting to PDF (Interactive) no matter which options or types of PDF I select.
However, my PDF opens in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - is that the issue? Even if I open it in Adobe Reader 9.3 it doesn't work.
