      Hey guys, need a bit of urgent help for an assignment due tomorrow.

      I’ve made a pdf with a transparent background (its got a top bar and bottom bar of text), and I’ve placed an FLV below it. The Indesign itself shows me all layers with the video and the PDF on top of it with transparency, but when I export it to an interactive PDF then that file only shows the video on the full screen with all my buttons/text/bars from the placed PDF on top of it missing.

      How can I fix this? Thanks

      Try making the PDF object a button in the Buttons panel. Doesn’t have to have any action applied to it.

      Hey David,

      Making it a button helped. Thanks a lot.

      Last issue, the video itself. Although in the media settings I muted it and kept loop on, the PDF itself won’t honor those settings. Any help on that?

      You might have to adjust that in Acrobat. I can’t recall. Interactive PDF is finicky. Note that it almost certainly won’t work on an iPad.

      Ah ok will do. I guess its not that big a deal if it doesn’t loop since it pauses on a decently image-worthy frame. Just wish I could mute the video in InDesign.

      Thanks a lot though, really appreciate it
