Does anyone know how to activate the zoom feature in Adobe acrobat reader for an Interactive page flipping PDF file?
 
I have exported an Indesign file to a page flipping swf and i imported it into Acrobat and saved it as a page flipping PDF file. My question is when i tried to zoom in the page in acrobat reader 9, only the page white background is zoomed in and not the swf content itself. May I know what do i need to activate??
 
I have a sample file that can actually zoom in the swf content in Acrobat reader but i can't seem to know how to activate it. please help!!
 

 
thanks!

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 9.0, Windows

"page flipping PDF files" do not exist - what you've created is a single-page PDF file containing the entire InDesign document in a single SWF annotation, so none of the Acrobat navigation tools apply. Although the zoom tools in Acrobat/Reader affect the magnification of the PDF page, the zooming of a SWF depends on the way it defines Stage scaling within its ActionScript - some SWFs zoom to fit the area of the screen they're displayed on, some stay at a fixed size, etc. - Acrobat cannot override that, nor can it change what scale mode a SWF uses.

Thanks UVSAR.

I know it's possible because I got a sample file that contain a SWF that can be zoomed by using the acrobat reader zoom tool. Please let me know if you want to have a look so that i can send it to you privately.

thanks!!

It's possible, but it has to be set when the SWF is created. Different page-flipping software will set the scale mode differently, as they all assume it'll be displayed on a website rather than a PDF, they don't tend to consider the consequences of embedding a SWF this way.
