Why do show/hide buttons show when PDF is opened?

I've created an interactive PDF with a series of show/hide buttons with rollover actions. When I export and open the PDF, some of the target buttons show up. If I mouseover, they correct themselves and go to their correct hidden state until I mouseover. Is this a bug and is there any way to keep them hidden from the start? Note that the target buttons overlap some, and I'm wondering if that is part of the problem so I'll test that, although not having them overlap isn't a viable solution.
Thanks!

Thanks for the response. Hidden until triggered was checked. I rebuilt the buttons and they seem to work fine now. It seems like InDesign is very finicky about the order of operations.

Interactive PDF show/hide button not working properly

I could use some help. I'm creating an interactive pdf using show hide buttons. A button is set to hidden and a second button controls it's visible on mouse enter and mouse exit. Sometimes these buttons which are set to visible turn to invisible in the general/form field propery window and stop working. I've tried replacing the buttons with new ones, but this hasn't helped. Is this a bug or do you think the document is corrupt. This is a large prototype file which has to be shown to a client and rebuilding it is not a welcome thought.
Is there a way to program this using java to create this function? (I'm a Java novice.)
Thanks

HI PAUL, WE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. SO, IF YOUR USING INDESIGN CS2 OR 3 WE HAVE FOUND THAT BY MAKING A NEW BUTTON WITH ALL THE ACTIONS YOU WANT IN A NEW DOCUMENT ON THE MASTER PAGE AND THEN COPYING AND PASTING THE NEW BUTTON INTO YOUR ORIGINAL FILE ONTO THE PAGE MASTER THIS USUALLY SOLVES THE PROBLEM.

Hi lexipuppy,
I dont know if you have your music on your other computer was on itunes, but if it was, make sure that you signed into your itunes account on your other computer. If you are signed in then your music should show up in your library.

HT4847 Why is the "done" button inactive when I try to downgrade my iCloud storage plan to 5GB free? Doesn't work from iOS device or macBook system preferences. I didn't sign up for a $40 plan.

Why is the "done" button inactive when I try to downgrade my iCloud storage plan to 5GB free? Doesn't work from iOS device or macBook system preferences. I didn't sign up for a $40 plan.

I found the solution .,,,
1) click on your current plan and press done your payment details will appear .
2) the first section is your plan and there is a botton "change" click on it
3) it will take you back to the upgrade options
4) press on the downgrade options
5) choose the 5 GB and the done botton will be enabled
6) click on it you'll back to the step number 2 , here read carefully you'll see that your changes will take effect after the current plan expired with the date.

"Internal Error Occurred" appears when .pdf is opened from Outlook 2010 email

"Internal Error Occurred" appears when .pdf is opened from Outlook 2010 email
I am absolutely pulling out my hair over this one!!
PC/Win 7 64bit/Adobe XI/Office 2010
I have tried Uninstalling and re-installing
I have tried using an adobe software removal tool
I have tried modifying the security settings in reader
I've tried running repair on MS Office
If you open the .pdf from an email directly, it opens Reader with the error "Internal Error Occurred"
If you drag and drop the .pdf onto the desktop, and then open it, it opens.
If you open Adobe Reader FIRST, then open the .pdf from the email, it opens fine.
ONLY when you open a .pdf from an email with Adobe Reader closed (so Outlook is asking AR to open first, and then present the .pdf) is it behaving this way.
Hypothesis: Outlook 2010 does not like to open Adobe Reader.
SO....tell me all of you brilliant geniuses? How do I solve this puzzle and become an end user's hero?
PS: WorkAround - the only work around I have found for this at present, is that the user first opens up Adobe Reader and lets it run in the background. I pinned the shortcut to his task bar to remind him.

I have uninstalled Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and installed Adobe Reader XI and everything works fine. This will be our current fix until a solution is found for the above error

Show/Hide buttons

Hey everyone,
Is there a way I can create a "Show" button that would be
visible to users when they click "Hide" (or X) on the nav bar? The
team I'm working with doesn't think that making users click the
Contents, Search, or Index button to "Show" the navigation pane
would be intuitive enough.
Also, how do I hide the "Show" link in a context-sensitive
help window? Some people are thinking that we need to hide this,
thereby "forcing" them to click the "main" help button in the Help
menu, but I disagree.
Thanks,
Jim

I understand the concern but most folks seem to work it out.
If you cick X, you know you have done it and will look for ways
back. That usually involves clicking anything in site! I don't know
of a solution.
How does hiding Show, forcing the user to close that, open
the main help and start over, help them? Yes you are forcing them
but you are not helping them and I agree with you. You can hide
Show by deselecting the show navigation in the wizard but it's a
bad move. With show enabled, they can see the topic they first went
to, its place in the structure and they can navigate from their.
Much more intuitive.

Show/hide buttons based on templates

Hi
1. Is there anyway for hide/show a button (button style template based button) dynamically?
2. If the button is an image (button style Image) Is there anyway for hide/show a button dynamically?
Thanks!

Hello:
I'll assume that you want to hide/show a button using javascript.
Generally, if the button template has the '#BUTTON_ATTRIBUTES#' substitution sting defined you can specify an 'id' attribute for the button in the Button Attributes field of the button definition. For an image based button you specify and 'id' in the Image Attributes field. You can then show or hide these buttons using the
$x_HideItemRow("<button_id>") and $x_ShowItemRow("<button_id>") built in javascript functions.

Acrobat Javascript button not loading when PDF is opened in browser

We have a requirement to have a custom print button in Acrobat Reader 9.1.3. We've created this via a JavaScript file stored in the users application data Adobe javascript folder. The button appears when Acrobat is started up normally and works as expected. However when opening a pdf file via Internet Explorer 7 acrobat is loaded inside the browser but the button does not appear automatically. Instead we need to right click on the tool bar and select Add on tools for the button to appear. Once loaded it works as expected.
Now I was wondering is there a way to make the button to appear automatically when acrobat is launched from within IE as my users are getting a bit annoyed now. I've been searching all over the place and can't find a solution to this.
Am hoping someone here might have an idea as to what the problem might be. I've attached the code I'm using below.
Thanks in advance
app.addToolButton({
cName: "myToolButton",
cExec: "printGreen()",
cEnable: true,
cTooltext: "Print to Green",
cLabel: "Print to Green"
global.objDoc = this;
printGreen = app.trustedFunction (
function()
app.beginPriv();
var objPrintParams = this.getPrintParams();
objPrintParams.printerName = "\\\\burns\\prn-cash-copier";
objPrintParams.interactive = objPrintParams.constants.interactionLevel.automatic;
this.print(objPrintParams);
app.endPriv();

OK... I'm still puzzled. There seems to be something else that controls whether Acrobat JavaScript runs or not.
If I'm loading a pdf stream though a http GET, JavaScript in Acrobat is run even when the setting in Edit->Preferences is disabled.
<body>
<iframe height=600 width=400 src = "http://<some servlet that returns a pdf stream>" />
</body>
If I'm loading the pdf from a file...
<body>
<iframe height=600 width=400 src = "<pdf file path>" />
</body>
... the expected warning (that Adobe javascript is disabled) pops up
The http response in the first case is something like...

Acrobat Form button that when clicked will open a Windows Folder?

Is there a way to have a button on an Adobe Acrobat Form that when clicked will open a Windows Folder located with a predefined UNC path? I'm looking for a scripting solution.
UNC example: \\myserver\myshares\engineering\changeorders
I'm using LiveCycle Designer ES v. 8.2.
Thanks for any help that you can give.

This is in Internet Explorer 6 (yes, horrible, I know), but we use a standardized image where I work, with pretty intense GPO's.
Don't know what happens if you right-click the link; but from any other machine (with the same image) the same link will open with all three options "Open", "Save", and "Cancel". These are not freshly imaged machines, so some setting must of been changed along the way to make this happen on this user's computer.
Repaired Acrobat, but this resolved nothing.
Also checked in IE to make sure that Adobe was enabled under the Programs tab.
Also, the option to view a pdf within the browser is not turned on.
Any other ideas?

Why do applications keep force quitting when try to open them?

Mail, microsoft word, chrome, firefox, iPhoto and another apps force quit wheni try to open them. i have run disk utility and onyx many times.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

Highlight Fields when PDF is opened - LiveCycle 8

LiveCycle 8
Win XP
Hi,
I'm trying to automatically highlight the form fields on a PDF when it is opened. I want the form to act as though the user has chosen the "Highlight Fields" option/button.
I would prefer a javascript function to fire (on itialize?) so I don't have to attach code to every field and possibly allow me to easily use it on future PDFs.
My current thoughts are to loop through all fields on the form and set the fillColor property to a light blue "221,228,255". Here's the javascript I'm currently trying to use:
for (var i=0; i < xfa.host.numPages; i++){
]var oFields = xfa.layout.pageContent(i,"fields");
]var nodesLength = oFields.length;
]for (var j=0; j< nodesLength; j++){
]]var oItem = oFields.item(j);
]]oItem.fillColor = "221,228,255";
Unfortunately, I can't seem to get it to work. Also, I'm not sure where to put it once it does work so that it fires when the PDF is opened.
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
In the File > Form Properties menu opens the dialog window. Go to the Defaults tab and check that the "Save script changes" is set to 'Automatic'. This will make sure that changes to the form from script changes will be saved with the form and honored when the form is reopened.

lately, upon immediately opening Safari, i am prompted this message, no matter what website I travel to.
