Buttons to change to next/previous state not working

May 18, 2012 8:08 AM

Hi guys

 

Apologies if you consider this an acrobat issue but I thought it was more indesign.

 

I am trying to add in a slide show to my interactive pdf and I just can't get it to work.

 

I've followed a couple of tutorials to the letter and when I preview in indesign the buttons work fine and the picture changes the next/previous state.  When I export to SWF, again, it works beautifully.  But as soon as I export to interactive PDF, the buttons dont work.

 

I can only think this is either something in the export settings or something with my acrobat not letting it be interactive.

 

I use CS5 and Acrobat X pro.

 

Any ideas?  Literally nothing happens when I click on the buttons in the PDF.

 

Thank you

    Hi Bob (this is my personal account and my previous one was my work one)

     

    I have managed to get it working before im certain.  Could you clarify what an MSO is please?

     

    Thanks

    Si

    Ah, I think I have just found how I did it before - export the selection as swf and then place that in and should be able to export as pdf!

    MSO….multi state object.

     

     

     

    Unsupported in PDF. Never has been.

     

     

     

    The only possible workaround is to create it in a different file, export as SWF and place the SWF into a PDF.

    Bob is totally right about this. MSOs have never been supported in interactive PDF unless you save them as a SWF and place them into the PDF.
