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 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.

    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 release the update to support Nikon Df raw/NEF file?

    when will Adobe release the Lightroom update to support Nikon Df raw/NEF file?

    In the mean time, or if it doesn't make it into LR 5.3 and you like techy stuff, see http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/52616096 for how to patch the exif of Df NEFs to look like D4 NEFs, as the presumption is that the sensor is identical. 
    Warning: take note of the advice in that thread to make backups of your NEFs first.  Second warning: read the whole thread.  In the first post he says Exiftool when he means Exifchanger.

  • When will Adobe support the new Canon S100 RAW format in Lightroom (& Camera RAW)?

    Just bought a new Canon S100.  It generates RAW files, but Lightroom would not import it as it said it was unsupported.  Any ideas when Adobe will start supporting this new RAW format?

    Got mine yesterday and discovered LR and PS didn't recognize the camera.  To make maters worse the Canon software and manuals are on the included disc.  Unfortunately my iMac wouldn't recognize the the disc.  I called Canon and they told me the camera was too new and they couldn't help me. They didn't have another disc they could send me or I couldn't download the software on line.  They told me to check back in a few weeks.  Before I hung up, the rep asked me if there was anything else he could help me with.  All I could do was laugh.

  • When will Adobe upgrade the flash player For PS3?

    ??????????????

    Battery life is but one of many reasons Apple didn't approve of a Flash player for iOS. However, as stated by Stedman1, Adobe has stopped future development of all mobile flash players, not just iOS.
    There are some third party apps in the App store that will allow some flash content to be utilized. Puffin, Skyfire Photon, Playable, are just a handful of the apps available in the App Store. Feel free to try out some of those, but read the descriptions and reviews first to make sure it will allow the types of content that you are hoping to access.

  • When will Adobe make the 'Moleskin,Creative Cloud Connected App' available for android devices?

    I'm going to get a mobile upgrade soon and I like the android OS more than the iOS. But the app is only available for iOS. I'm willing to switch to Apple if the appl isn't coming out for another 1+ year.

  • When will adobe support the G700 & G500 for GPU accelerated processing?

    when i bought my new mac pro trashcan mac told me that their graphics cards were supported so i plunked down my $10k and waited for a month for it to come in the mail.  I was working just fine using what seemed to be GPU acceleration, but then (as you know) it stopped working.
    what's going on and when can i expect this to be resolved?  if never, then i need to switch to a pc where i can buy the cards that adobe supports!

    Did you happen to have an OSX update that caused the change?

  • Smike47's problem is not isolated. We have same problem. When will Adobe fix the problem?

    Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional Registration Popup occurs every time Adobe is opened.
    Tremendous waste of time/money.
    Come on Adobe. You are smarter than this!

    OK, one important point of information you did not provide was the subversion of AA8. If you are using AA8.0 for instance, you have a lot of updates to do that may very likely fix the problem. It seems to have been resolved a long time ago for others (I have not heard about his in about 2 or more years) and the updates may resolve the issue. Version 8 is about at 8.4.3 as I remember off hand -- in any case a lot beyond 8.0.

  • 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 issue an update to Camera Raw to include the Olympus E-M 5 MARK II camera?

    When will Adobe issue an update to Camera Raw for CS6 and Lightroom 5 to include the Olympus E-M 5 MARK II camera, does anyone know?

    What I wonder is when folks will start researching their favorite software BEFORE buying a new camera model?
    I have never seen a cart pulling a horse!!
    We know the our software, we know the new camera will be 'ahead' of updates. its the time between that we all seem to just accept. We should not.
    We can go round in circles pointing fingers as to who is to 'blame', thats not the point. The point is, no matter how far you go back, since the advent of digital this has been a problem. Posting on all web sites as far back as I remember contain "when will there be RAW support for xyz?". There are even some on this site back in 2006 asking the same question.
    The interdependent link between camera makers & software vendors is not working properly. They need each other yet don't support each other. Do you think Adobe thought up DNG just as a exercise? From memory it was an attempt to standardize, with an open code, a raw format that was universal. I blame Canikon for not wholeheartedly supporting it. Then the Oly, Panny alliance come along with MFT, an ideal opportunity, but proprietary issues prevail as if they got some sort of advantage from it. They don't IMO.
    Sorry for the rant, got carried away! Its just so frustrating.

    Nobody knows even whether CS6 will get this or if there wil lbe a paid/ Creative Cloud exclusive 6.5 update or something liek that. You're asking teh wrong question to the wrong people. Even if we knew, we wouldn't be allowed to tell you anything until Adobe announces this officially.
