《Creating an interactive PDF》 【本字幕由ACELY 整理&转码】 This catalog, which is a 17b version from the exercise files folder, is designed to
【本字幕由 CGSUB.COM 独家制作发布】 be viewed onscreen. And it looks pretty cool, but we want to
take it to the next level by adding even more interactivity.
First, let's add a movie. It's easy to do.
You import it just like any other graphic.
I'll go to the File menu and choose Place.
Now, in the links folder from my exercise files folder, I'm going to scroll down to
the bottom and choose this movie. It's the one that ends with MP4.
That's a movie format that InDesign can read.
When I click Open, InDesign loads it up onto the Place cursor.
If I had an empty frame, I could click to put the movie into it, but in this case,
I'm going to click and drag out a frame. When I do that, InDesign makes the frame
and places the movie into it. The frame is a little bit too large, so
I'm going to come up here to the Control panel and click the Fit Frame to Content button.
That looks better. Now to control this movie, I'm going to
open up the Media panel. I'm in my interactive for PDF workspace,
so I see that my Media panel shows up here in my dock.
You could also get to it by going to the Window menu and choosing from the
interactive submenu. The Media panel actually lets me play the
movie right inside of InDesign. I'll do that by clicking the little Play button.
(MUSIC). I can pause it, and even move forward
into this movie. (MUSIC).
Unfortunately, this movie looks like a big, black box on my page.
That's not very compelling, but I can change that by finding a frame that I
like inside the Media panel and then setting it as my poster.
Just drag this slider until you see a frame that you want and then come down to
the poster pop-up menu and choose from current frame.
Or you can click on this little double headed arrow on the right.
Now I'm going to give this movie a controller.
You know, something that lets the viewer start and stop it.
I can do that from the controller pop up menu.
And it gives me a lot of options, but I'm going to just choose this one at the very bottom.
That has a lot of different functions in it.
Plus, I'm going to make this controller show only when I roll over the movie.
I do that by turning on the Show Controller on Rollover check box.
So that's it. Now I've got a movie in my InDesign document.
I can't play the movie on my InDesign page.
In fact, none of this interactivity works in the InDesign page, but when I export a
PDF, you'll be able to see it. Now let's add a button.
I'll close my Media panel and I can see that I have some buttons down at the
bottom part of my page. I've already set most of these up as
buttons but one of them, the Go To Page button, is not yet set up.
Now, of course I want these navigation buttons to be on all the pages of my document.
So, I put them on the master page. Let's go to the Pages panel.
Double-click on the master page. And we'll see the master page and the
buttons down there. These are all just selectable objects now.
Let's go ahead and zoom in on this part of the page, so we can work with it better.
I want this to be my Go To Page button. So to make it a button, I'm going to
click on it to select it, and then open my Buttons and Forms panel.
To turn it into a button, all you need to do is click on the Make button, button.
Technically, it's called the Convert to Button, button.
Now, you can convert any object in InDesign into a button, and as soon as
you do that, this panel springs to life and we can start adding actions to it.
It's a good idea to name your button something recognizable.
Just click up here in the name field, and I'm going to change this to Go To Next Page.
And now, I'm going to set this up, so that on a particular event, in this case,
on release or tap. That means, when I either tap on a
touchscreen or when I release the mouse button.
On that event, do an action. I can see a list of all the actions here
in this little pop up menu, the one with the plus symbol.
And in this case, all I want it to do is go to the next page, so that's pretty
much it. This is now an interactive button, but
let's give it a little bit more pizzazz. First, let's pretty it up.
While it's selected on my page, I want to give it an effect.
How about a bevel and emboss effect? Now to do this, you have to understand
how buttons work. They're actually nested objects.
My original object, that kind of blue triangle thing?
Is nested inside a new button object. So to select my original object, that
triangle to format it, I need to double-click on it on the page.
When I double-click on it, I select the original object and now, I can come up
here and add a bevel and emboss. I'm just going to go with these default
values and click OK. And that's pretty cool, but why don't we
add a rollover effect, too? To add a rollover effect, all you need to
do is click on the rollover state down here in the middle of the panel.
Now of course right now, both normal and rollover look exactly the same so I need
to change the rollover effect. Once again, I'm going to double-click on
the button to select inside of it. That's the object inside my rollover
state button. I'll go back to the Effects panel, choose
Bevel and Emboss, and I'll just change this a little bit.
I'll set the direction to Down, and click OK.
So that's it. Now we've got the normal state and the
rollover state. To see the difference, all you need to do
is click on the two states in the appearance list.
Okay, it's finally time to see our PDF in action.
Let's go ahead and export it. I'm going to go to the File menu and
choose Export. You'll notice down here in the Format
popup menu, that there are two options for making a PDF, interactive or print.
In this case, because we're doing movies and buttons and hyperlinks and all that,
guess which one you want to choose. That's right, interactive.
I'll click Save, and up comes the Export to Interactive PDF dialog box.
Now, there's a number of options in here, including the ability to set the view.
For example, when I open this, I want to make sure that it fits the entire page in
the window. I also like to make sure the resolution
down here is at least 100, if not 144 PPI.
That way people can zoom in on the PDF and still see a pretty good quality image.
Alright, for now, I'm just going to click OK, and InDesign will write this PDF to
disk, and then it'll automatically open it up in Acrobat.
Here we go. Note that you may have to have Flash
player on your system in order to play movie files and other interactive elements.
Our movie is right there, and if I click on it, it starts playing.
(MUSIC). Note that this controller only shows up
when I move the cursor over the movie. (MUSIC).
And these button work, too. Down here in the lower right corner, I
can see the button that I created. And when I hover over it, it changes.
And then when I click, it does just what I wanted.
It jumps to the next page. As cool as all of this is, I've only

InDesign, a form field.
