When will Adobe Reader support interactive PDF elements on iOS?

When will Adobe Reader support interactive PDF elements on iOS? I don't want to hear the line that Apple won't allow Flash. Adobe needs to get a workaround PRONTO! We need detection of simple buttons and support for Mp4 and f4v - as exported inline by inDesign when creating PDFs.

Pat Willener, Thank you for your message. I have done what you suggest. I could have sworn I started this topic in the general Adobe Reader discussion. So I have also placed a copy back where I thought I first had it so it can be found by other Windows users who, like me, are creating PDF files because they are meant to comply with an international cross-platform standard and not simply be the domain of one platform over the other.
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature: Support for interactive PDFs
How would you like the feature to work? When I add a transparent frame containing a basic Adobe Media encoded mp4 or f4v video, export to interactive PDF from Adobe InDesign, I want the PDF and its interactive videos to work on iPads. See an example file here: ***EXAMPLE PROVIDED*** Click the lefthand top and bottom corners to bring up interactive video elements which should open in floating window, maximized, then have an exit button to close and continue reading the PDF. Of course, this does not function under Adobe Reader for iOS. You also need to attend to audio files embedded in the same way and allow an exit button to close the audio window so the reader can continue reading the PDF on Windows.
Why is this feature important to you? I create eReaders for schools across the whole country and they are taking up iPads at an unprecedented rate. If Adobe do not produce a solution for interactive PDFs on iOS then I will no longer use InDesign, Acrobat, Adobe Media Encoder or Photoshop to create works in the future. You're looking at a massive education market that will leave Adobe behind if this is not acted upon very very soon. For some publishers it's already too late and they have moved to app based creation tools.

When will Adobe Reader support annotating pdf documents on a microSD card in lollipop android?

I really like Adobe Reader for annotation of pdf files on an external microSD cards in phones and tablets. Android Kitkat took access away. Android Lollipop gave it back.

When will Adobe Refine the Interactive PDF Audio Controller?

Whenever Reader plays interactive audio content, this dreadfully small or dreadfully large audio controller comes up (hard to understand how the size is respected via inDesign's tools), looking incredibly clunky and does not even have an exit button so that you can close the played audio file and continue to read the page!
When will this be fixed as an update to InDesign CS6 ? This feature should never have been allowed to be released in its current form. When a core feature fails to live up to its promise, then it's in breach of basic consumer laws where I live!

Pat Willener, thank you for your post but this is a forum for users like me to post about issues, some of which may be affecting other uses and some of which may be answered by other users.
If Adobe had any kind of interest in the purpose of these forums and the support of their product, if they were also pro-active, then they'd have someone over here acting upon deficiencies mentioned here, not the other way around. FGS, I'm not paid by Adobe to do their bidding, I pay them to provide me with a product that I believe I should have already got in return for my money, not a product with half-cocked features. I filed a feature request, as per your instructions weeks ago and Adobe have not replied.
From what I now know, Adobe is extremely deficient when it comes to after sales service and the company is gaining a very poor reputation because of that.
Which brings me back to what I asked, doesn't anyone from Adobe attend to these discussion threads? From my time at other forums, a company rep responds giving a full answer and timeline for a fix.

When will Adobe Reader for Mobile Devices support 3D PDF files?

When will Adobe Reader for Mobile Devices support 3D PDF files?

There are two basic varieties of LiveCycle XFA...Static XFA and Dynamic XFA, which are very different in terms of their future for potential support in Adobe Reader for iOS. Which variety of XFA are you using?
Static XFA uses the PDF markup language for content and form fields, so users can view the documents in Adobe Reader for iOS, but we currently do not properly handle filling, saving, and submitting those forms. I have improving our handling of Static XFA on my roadmap, but cannot offer any specific date yet (sorry, policy plus actual uncertainty). I know that there are some other apps that partially support Static XFA, though I do not know how complete their support is. If you can even open the XFA document in Adobe Reader for iOS, it is likely Static XFA.
Dynamic XFA is effectively a JavaScript application packaged inside a PDF wrapper, which generates layout and form fields via code and requires a significant engine to support this. Support for Dynamic XFA is unfortunately not currently on our roadmap for iOS due to the nature of the technology, and our concern that any implementation we try likely will not pass Apple's restriction against installing something that allows other "apps" to be downloaded and executed from within it. The LiveCycle team is exploring solutions for our enterprise customers wanting to use Dynamic XFA from mobile devices as part of their server offering, but I cannot offer any insight here. To my knowledge, there are no applications that handle Dynamic XFA other than Adobe Reader for the desktop platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux).

When will Adobe LR5 support Fujifilm XT1?

When will Adobe LR5 support Fujifilm XT1?

To avoid confusion and complaints Adobe could have just not released ACR/DNGC 8.4 until LR 5.4/LR6 was ready, but they did want to get feedback on the new camera conversions from at least some of their users.
I would hope that Adobe is taking more time with Lightroom so that there is just one installable version of LR that can be licensed either with a serial number or with logging into CC, so that we don’t have to repeatedly answer the same question, every day, of why there is no LR offered for install after someone has just been purchased the PS+LR bundle, or why there LR is still asking for a serial number when CC doesn’t use serial numbers.

When will Adobe Muse support ordered and unordered lists?

When will Adobe Muse support ordered and unordered lists instead of forcing users to create manually formated bullet points? I've asked this question before, but never saw an answer to it. I know others have asked it as well. Adobe has set a high bar with its other solutions. It doesn't look good that Muse does not support ordered and unordered lists at this late date.

Lance,
Thanks for responding - I guess I pushed a button
My perception of the forums and response from Adobe is based upon looking at most of the postings in the "bugs" forum. There are lots of reads, very few replies.
Given the fact that many users have asked about bullets and other basic text formating I am surprised that there is still no sign of them. Perhaps it is felt that there are workarounds that will do. The truth is, as you noted, that none of the workarounds are great, some are not even practical. For my specific case, I would have been happy to use workaround #1, except that the line items were hyperlinks, and I needed to open them in a separate window using the javascript window.open function. As I've detailed in other posts, there is a real problem with this in Muse. Hyperlinked javascript calls are invoked via the "href=" attribute, but this doesn't work properly in a number of browsers. There isn't a way to tell Muse to use onclick instead (which works for all browsers). This led me to have to use embedded html.
That leads me to try #2, which is to use CSS styling in the embedded html. This too gave me fits. Using a <style> section to set the attributes for <ul> or <li> did not work. I can only assume that the tags inside the embedded HTML have a Muse-generated id or class. I tried to get the bullets by setting the list-style-type in the <ul> tag itself using the style attribute, but this did not work (it should). It does work if you put the list-style-type in the <li> tags. This is pretty tedious, and led me to create text files containing the html separate from Muse so that I can use an editor to copy repeated strings. Then I cut and paste into the embedded html container.
Note that, even though I finally found something that works, it is not visible in the design view, so you can't even tell it works without previewing it!
I haven't tried option #3, but given the need to force the use of onclick I imagine that would not be possible with your widget. I was aware of the list widget however.
I'll have to look at the Mucow docs and give it a try. The docs are a bit light - any plans to flesh them out?
Thanks,
Gareth

When will Adobe Lightroom support tethering for Nikon D810?

I am wondering when will adobe support Nikon D810. Aperture already supports it...what is holding Adobe to add tethering for D810?

My guess is that Nikon writes the tethering driver for Apple so it is ready very quickly, whereas Adobe has to wait for an SDK then wait for their own resources to finish coding and I imagine it is messy and low priority so it takes a while.

When will Adobe Reader for iOS support Livecycle XFA forms?

Adobe Reader for iOS currently does not appear to support XFA forms created through Livecycle. Although it supports some field types, the HTTP submit and Email submit buttons don't work.
Being able to email the completed form ready for someone else to submit would be a work around, however when attempting to 'share' a completed form and send it by email the form is blank when saved and opened in the desktop version of Adobe Reader on a PC.
We are getting more and more requests from ipad users who wish to use our forms, and it seems that some other paid-for apps claim to support this. Seeing as Adobe Reader is the industry standard product for using PDFs could we have more support for pdf forms please?
...or at the very least, a product roadmap with some dates for when this might be available please?

When Will Adobe Discontinue Support to All Pre-Cloud Software Suites?

Hello,
I work in a high-security US military installation. My team used the CS4 Creative Suite until the summer of 2013 when Adobe support ceased (updates; patches), and according to US Army policy we immediately had to stop using the software and upgrade to the next available, which was CS6 at the time. Now that the Cloud is in use, we need to know the date that CS6 support will discontinue so we can plan for the switch over to Creative Cloud.
Thank you.

As far as I know (I do not work for Adobe) direct support for the 3+ year old CS6 has already stopped, in that there are no more updates/patches
All updates start here and select product, read to check dates for the individual product http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/

WHY WILL ADOBE READER NOT OPEN PDF FILES?

I have just downloaded free Adobe Reader X. When I try to open a pdf file I immediately get a Microsfoft box saying "Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close" I have Windows XP. Has anyone else experienced the problem and what did you do to fix the problem so pdf files open? Setting in control panel is for al pdf's to be opened by Adobe Reader, and when I downloade, I briefly disabled my anti-virus software. Really frustrating, Can any one help?

We saw the same symptoms as you describe.
It turned out that the new sandbox feature in Reader X is not compatible with Re-Directed "Application Data" folders.
Disabling the sandbox safety feature (via a special registry setting) appears to be a workaround, but somehow we now feel less safe.
Folder redirection involves group policy as used in large corporations with IT teams to manage large numbers of PCs in companies.
For example, in corporate environments, users My Documents and AppData folders are often re-directed at a secure server share, so that people's documents/photos/mp3s they save into my documents are secured on a server, instead of scattered about on various PCs. Home users never use this technology.
However, If you've got Adobe Reader X installed to a different DRIVE to the one where your APPDATA folder is, then you might get the same effect.
I guess this could also happen to peole with Windows installed on their D: drives, and Adobe installed on the C: drive, or similar.

When will Adobe AIR support 96x96 and 144x144 icons for Android?

I´ve been searching the Forum for any hints on this. I´m not sure but is there really no solution for it!?!?
The first post I found was this one: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1088092 from October, 25th 2012 asking for a solution.
One year after this post I installed Adobe AIR 3.9.0.1050 to Flash Pro CC - but I still can´t add these Icons. Really?
Do I miss anything? Can anyone please tell me how to add these Icons to my Android App so I can upload it?

Hi,
The new update(Flash Pro CC release - November 2013) that allows to publish the AIR applications with newer icon, is now available to you. This Flash CC update will update your flash version to 13.1.0.217.
You can update from the Adobe Creative Cloud application or from Flash Pro CC Help -> Updates menu.

When will Camera Raw support .arw files for the new Sony RX-100?

I have Photoshop Elements 9 and just purchased the RX-100. Currently the .arw raw files the camera produces are not supported in Camera Raw. When will Adobe be supporting this format?

No one can tell you when, but the new RX100 has support in the beta of Camera Raw 7.2 RC for Photoshop CS6 so I would guess that PSE11 will either ship with or could soon after be updated to ACR 7.2 with RX100 support.
PSE10 is the current version, but in the past, a new version of Elements has come out about this time of year so sometime in the next couple months.
What you can do right now is download the beta of the DNG Converter 7.2 RC from Adobe Labs which will convert a folder of ARW files to DNG files which can then be processed with older versions of Camera Raw including what comes with PSE10 or PSE9.
You could also download and use the beta for Lightroom 4.2 RC from on Adobe Labs to work with your files natively until the beta expires by the end of October, but before then you’d probably have a new version of Elements that would work. If you go the LR 4.2 RC route, you’d want to save your changes to XMP sidecars in LR so you could read them using ACR in Elements, later.
Betas/RCs are available at: http://labs.adobe.com/

Adobe Acrobat losing file association when installing Adobe Reader X or XI (Using Cust. Wizard)

Hello Adobe Forums,
I'm an IT professionnal in a large company, and we've been dealing with an issue using this software.
Using the "Adobe Customization Wizard 9", prior to version X and XI, the following option was available:
Adobe Acrobat 9:
Adobe Reader 9:
As you see, the customization wizard of both software allowed you to leave Adobe Acrobat as the default PDF handler.
Now, let's look at the Customization Wizard X
Adobe Acrobat X: (XI has the same options)
Adobe Reader X: (XI has the same options)
Now here, we can see that in Adobe Reader X, we only have "Make Reader the default" or "Installer will decide which will be the default"
I want to keep Adobe Acrobat as the default, so I choose "Installer will decide which product will be the default"
Guess which software becomes the default? Adobe Reader....
So what is happening here is that Adobe Customization Wizard X and XI will NOT let you keep Acrobat as the default, unless you execute a repair or reinstall Acrobat after installing Adobe Reader.
Adobe Reader X and XI forces itself to become the default handler, in every option scenario we can find. Adobe Customization Wizard 9 would let you choose to keep Acrobat as the handler. Why was this removed in X and XI?
This is very annoying and causing a lot of grief inside the company. Is there a solution for this?

Sup guys
