Forgive me if this has been asked. When I create interactive buttons in InDesign 6, their display is erratic in Acrobat X. Sometimes they display correctly. Sometimes, their display is erratic and sometimes they do not display at all. I have noticed that in Acrobat X, the cursor changes to the hand over the correct area, but nothing happens when I click. Oddly enough, the buttons always display correctly in Reader. This is fine for my users but makes my job in doing the final prep very difficult. As further information, with small book files, the display is fine, but as pages are added, button display goes haywire.
Unfortunately this appears to be a bug in InDesign CS6 - for more information check out this discussion in the InDesign forum.
Lori,
Thanks for your response. This is an incredibly painful bug. I hope Adobe is a little more attentive than they usually are in fixing this. I have more than 100 interactive books which I must convert and maintain (they're our equipment manuals). Not having full functionality, especially given the cost of the software, is a serious issue. Any suggestions as to who needs to be contacted for follow up?
This would be the best place to log your issue Feature Request/Bug Report Form.
Thanks, Lori. I will follow up and report the bug. Oddly enough, the buttons are visible in the Thumbnails pane and, sometimes, after I've worked with the file for a bit, they will suddenly appear on the pages with correct behavior. But if I close and re-open the file, they become erratice in their appearance again.
