interactive PDF file

Engaged ,

Hello community.

 

it's been ages since I have used indesign, and it's time to get back into it. I bumped into my first problem today. 

 

I made an objecc state with 5 images, and when I click in the on each state, I can see each image. but when I publish the EPUB to view it, its only cycling 2 images from the 5. Why is this happening?

 

Also when I export the interactive PDF, I can see the First image from the 5, but the previous and next button is missing.

 

What am I doing incorrect?

 

Thank you.

Multi state objects are not supported in PDF and without seeing your file there's no way anyone can tell why it doesn't work in an EPUB.

Hi Stefan,

Object States won't work in PDF files. It hints at that in the Buttons & Forms "Action" menu.

If it is only partially advancing in the Publish Online document in your browser, go back to your InDesign document and make sure you made the Object State correctly and that the trigger button is associated correctly with the named Object.
