Re: Dropdown Menu in InDesign 2024 Remains Empty

As I mentioned, the OP is wasting his time hoping to implement this feature in an Interactive PDF.

Derek Cross · ‎Jan 28, 2025

Fair enough. Maybe also post in the Acrobat Forum to see if they have any ideas.

Derek Cross · ‎Jan 28, 2025

Are you sure, given all the various kinds of PDF Readers being used by people on various devices, this is a realistic possibility – you might be better using another format, such as FXL ePub, Publish Online or dropping the idea1

I suggest you reset the Photoshop Settings back to the factory defaults using this method: Launch Photoshop and quickly hold down the following keys: Shift+Control+Option+Command When prompted to delete the Preferences or Settings, click Yes (If you don't see the question repeat the exercise.) If that doesn't resolve the issue try the Adobe Cleaner Tool to remove all fragments of the application and try a clean install. https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

You need at least 16GB of RAM.

Derek Cross · ‎Jan 24, 2025

Are you wanting to produce a cut-out of an object and then save it with a transparent background as a native PSD or PNG document? A screen shot would help.

Derek Cross · ‎Jan 23, 2025

To add to Peter's excellent advice, you need to consider whether the cover is for a paperback or a hardback book. If the latter, you'll need to allow for flaps. For those producing book covers regularly, there's a great plug-in which saves a lot of time: https://www.danrodney.com/scripts/makebookjacket.html

Derek Cross · ‎Jan 23, 2025

Make sure you have plenty of RAM and spare hard disk capacity.

Derek Cross · ‎Jan 22, 2025

Are you Placing a native Illustrator image with a transparent background into an InDesign document, or another format, such as JPG?

Derek Cross · ‎Jan 21, 2025

I'm confused by the Parent page aspect, but try this – under the Object menu, select Text Frame Options... and tick Ignore Text Frame.

Derek Cross · ‎Jan 19, 2025

Select the Crop tool then the crop drop down, then the gear icon and choose Reset Tool from the drop down menu.

Derek Cross · ‎Jan 19, 2025

If you do supply native InDesign files to your customer, I suggest you add a strong caveat with words to the affect that you will not be responsible for taking back these files to work on again, should they make further changes to them themselves or have changes to them by another designer. This might protect you from a complete mish-mash!

Derek Cross · ‎Jan 18, 2025

You need to contact Adobe to sort this out, this is a user-to-user support forum and we can't deal with payment issues.

Derek Cross · ‎Jan 18, 2025

You seem to have a touch of the conspiracy theory about you!

Derek Cross · ‎Jan 18, 2025

Trashing the Photoshop preferences often does sort out application corruption, I can't imagine Adobe wants the scenario you're describing.

Derek Cross · ‎Jan 18, 2025

Presumably, you've tried trashing your Photoshop preferences?

Derek Cross · ‎Jan 18, 2025

Bagan5EC3 – It might be better to start a new thread and explain your particuar issue and include your system details (PS version, OS, and amout of RAM and spare hard disk capacity).

Derek Cross · ‎Jan 17, 2025

Others don't have your issue so it might be worth systematically going through the various options. You say you have tried all the remedies, but have you, for example, used the. Adobe Cleaner Tool? And can you confirm the (exact) versions of InDesign and your OS and how much RAM and spare hard disk capacity you have on your system.

Derek Cross · ‎Jan 17, 2025

Just to be clear, Publish Online documents are hosted on Adobe servers (only) so I wouldn't have thought there would be security issues.

Derek Cross · ‎Jan 17, 2025

What do you mean?

Derek Cross · ‎Jan 17, 2025

You can't create that effect reliably in a PDF, as I mentioned to someone else, use InDesign's Publish Online facility which uses HTML5. (You used to be able to produce PDFs with the effects you want, but now that Flash is redundant, you can't.)

Derek Cross · ‎Jan 17, 2025

Publish Online can be integrated into your company website if you're allowed to use it. But I'm not sure why you can't use a PDF for distributing documents – you don't really need them to be interactive do you?

Derek Cross · ‎Jan 17, 2025

Have a look at FXL ePub – but the final user needs a reader.

Derek Cross · ‎Jan 17, 2025

If you have the budget have a look at in5 an InDesign plugin at extra cost: https://ajarproductions.com/pages/products/in5/?ref=footer

Derek Cross · ‎Jan 17, 2025

You can send (email) a hyperlink to the document to people. You can also enable the document so that people can download a (static) PDF version.

Derek Cross · ‎Jan 17, 2025

Try using InDesign's Publish Online facility; you can include multimedia and animations in those documents.

Derek Cross · ‎Jan 17, 2025

No they won't! Use simple hyperlinks, such as a word or words or a image/shape.

Derek Cross · ‎Jan 17, 2025

Multi-state buttons on interactive PDFs will not work on many devices, such as tablets or smartphones.

Derek Cross · ‎Jan 15, 2025

What is the Trimmed Page Size of the book?

Derek Cross · ‎Jan 11, 2025

The AI logo is a vector image and the JPG is rasterised, so it will pixelated (especially if you enlarge it in InDesign). Keep to native AI logos for placing in InDesign documents
