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.

    It's hard to say without looking at some of the files. When you look at the links properties in Acrobat, are they "Open a file" or "Go to a page in another document" type actions?

    Unfortunately this appears to be a bug in CS6 -  for more information check out this discussion in the InDesign forum.

    Hi George,

     

    Thanks for replying.

     

    When I go to Tools, Advanced Editing, Link Tools, there are no links to see as this is because the interactive buttons were set up within Indesign.

     

    Is this what you are refering to?

     

    Thanks

    Julie :-)

    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.

     

    Julie :-)
