If the user fills in/chooses in the first 2 input fields and then ignores the Add Another button and uses the OK-Cancel buttons the script proceeds fine.īUT if the user clicks the Add Another button, the script utilizes a call-back/event handler function (add_AnotherInputline) to first remove the OK-Cancel button group and then add (through add_inputFields function) another group of the text edit field & dropdown, and then re-adds the OK-Cancel buttons. (group 1 = 1 text edit field and one dropdown list and the Add Another button ie I can show a simple, two group, ui window In brief, you’ll create the same two buttons, and use the States panel to set the same properties.I'm trying to show a script ui window that will add another group of input fields IF the user clicks an Add Another button instead of the OK or Cancel buttons. Working in InDesign CS, CS2 or CS3 works essentially the same. Mousing over the trigger button shows the hidden button. Set the visibility of the show/hide button (the balloons) to the eyeball with the slash symbol (meaning hidden).Įxport the PDF (remembering to turn on the Interactive Elements checkbox on the Export PDF dialog). Again, choose the Show/Hide Buttons action. For the same button, choose the Off Roll Over event. Set the visibility of the show/hide button (the balloons) by choosing the eyeball icon to indicate that it’s visible on roll over.ģ. (I selected one of the buttons from InDesign CS4’s Sample Buttons library, and added some text.) For the Event called On Roll Over, click the + button beside Actions to add an action. (I chose an image of a balloon festival and chose Object > Interactive > Convert to Button.) This button should have no action, but choose Hidden in PDF as a property from the panel menu.Ģ. Turn the object to be shown/hidden into a button using the Buttons panel. I’ll first illustrate this in InDesign CS4, which has a more elegant interface for creating buttons:ġ. It requires creating two separate buttons?one for the object to be shown and hidden, and one for the button which triggers the show/hide effect. This is pretty easy to do in InDesign, but the method isn’t obvious.
If anyone could help me figure this out it would save me an immense amount of time.
My plan was to have a mouseover/hover text pop up containing the contact information when the mouse is over the circle/city name. The map will consist of about 80 locations (marked with a small circle and the city name) with contact information for particular individuals. I have been tasked to produce a product that will consist of a interactive map of sorts in a PDF format. A question on the Adobe InDesign Forum reminded me of another.
In my recent postings on creating buttons in interactive PDF, I gave some tips on creating buttons.
