I'm having a problem with making roll overs work in an interactive pdf for iPad and mobile devices. I've spent hours looking for a resolution, but have found nothing for this specific issue...
What I have is sections in the document where the viewer can answer questions via check boxes. The check boxes work fine. However the check boxes for the incorrect answers trigger, on roll over, a 'pop-up' window that will nudge them to the correct answer. I have tried doing this through InDesign at the design stage and through Acrobat. Right now the functionality is primarily through Acrobat (seems to be closer to the end goal).
I'm not sure if it's as simple as a setting or what? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. More specific information can be given if needed. Thanks!
You have to look at the "documentation" for the various PDF viewers for iOS, and see what they support.
Opposed to the Windows and OSX platforms, Adobe Reader for iOS (and Android) is mediocre at best, when it comes to JavaScript support (which is most likely the base for the rollovers). For iOS, the leader of the pack is PDFExpert by Readdle. With some luck, this PDF viewer may support what you want to accomplish.

My math professor wants to be able to generate interactive graphs (i.e. the kind you can generate with a CDF) on an iPad. Users should effectively be able to do everything they can do on a computer using the CDF player on an iPad, using whatever the web browser can do. I was thinking something along the lines of a canvas element, but does anyone know if there's a native client for the iPad? If not, is there some way of compiling Mathematica graphics code into something Safari or Chrome could understand?
Thanks!
I believe the best (only?) reliable current information comes from the Wolfram CDF FAQ:
Is CDF Player available for iPad?
The iPad is an important part of our CDF strategy. Contact us for more
details about when CDF support for this platform becomes available.
This took longer than expected, but this is now available:

I need to start developing an app to publish interactive magazines for the iPad. However I don't have any idea how I can make the reader. I've been using web views to display normal pdf's, however now I need to use magazines created using Adobe Indesign. Have been looking all over and haven't found anything besides businesses that already provide their own apps for publishing.
If anyone can point me somewhere I can start, I've already looked at a very good tutorial to set up the store and possibly the library:
http://ios-blog.co.uk/articles/tutorials/how-to-make-a-magazine-app-in-ios-part-i/
but i don't think QuickLook is what I need for the reader.
Take a look at this PDF rendering library:
http://pspdfkit.com/
We used it in a similar app, and were very pleased. Peter Steinberger (the author) also gives great support and is very helpful. Previous to purchasing this library, I wrote my own PDF renderer, and I can guarantee you that it's MUCH cheaper to just buy Pete's library. Otherwise, you will spend months to optimize it enough that it runs on iPad 1.
I am creating a very basic App for the iPhone & iPad and it's being built in Flash Professional CS5.5. All the actionscript is done on the frames (inline?) as I'm not familiar with using classes and external .as files etc. I've been meaning to learn that method but just haven't gotten around to it.
So my question is, what is the simplest way to use stageVideo to play a video attached to the IPA? I have looked at various sites such as http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/stage_video.html and spent hours on Google looking for examples, but all the examples and source files are either: external classes, flex, or flash builder. I can't find a simple .fla example where all the code is internally placed.
You need to change the wmode=direct in the Name-app.xml. If you find a way to edit it, tell me please, cause I don't know how to do it on Flash Professional =/
Can someone point me in the right direction to learning how to use Openframeworks to develop and IPad app. Perhaps some good tutorials, I can't seem to find any good documentation.
The docs of openFrameworks is quite outdated. But you can discover OF through the examples. Just download the iPhone package here: http://www.openframeworks.cc/download and follow the instructions in the included readme. I think a good start is, try to get the examples running on your device and start to modify the examples. If you have any further questions, the people here --> http://forum.openframeworks.cc/ will be happy to help you out.
For a more in-depth discover of openFrameworks, look at the inofficial doxygen docs here --> http://ofxfenster.undef.ch/doc/
Getting OF running on iPad is actually pretty much the same thing as running on iphone.
have you got it running before?
if you haven’t, first thing is you need to pay Apple $99 if you want to run it on real device,
otherwise it’s free to try on the simulator.
there is some instructions on OF site for the first run,
just go through it these complicated stuffs only need to be done once:
http://www.openframeworks.cc/setup/iphone/
(the guide is totally not updated at all, but it’s pretty much the same process with minor UI difference)
Any iOS OF example should runs on iPad the same way as iPhone does.
but to get iPad native resolution, you’ll have to change it manually.
it's in Application>General and in Deployment Info change the Devices drop down to iPad. (screenshot attached)
try it with any iOS examples
and if you want to put any code for mac version,
just make a copy of any iOS example and hand paste the code in appropriate void,
they are pretty much the same except mouse event vs touch event.
which a bit different in logic but just play around with it. not too hard to get used to.
basically touch events are touch.x/touch.y instead of mouseX mouseY.
(and touch events are private to each void so you might need other variables to pass it somewhere else)
I don't have a forum link but there was an openframeworks forum question on this just last week and folks posted a number of sites that have good examples/tutorials. Here's one on doing pixel operations for graphic effects:

Can anyone help with combining two pdf's together on an iPad? I dont know where to start.
I have an app that contains a lot of single page pdf's and I want to be able to allow the user to merge them together for printing and emailing if they wish.
I have looked at the various CGPDF classes but dont know where to begin.
I am sorry that I don't have an answer for your exact question, but Fast and Lean PDF Viewer for iPhone / iPad / iOs - tips and hints? is an excellent place to start. When I first started with all of this I used the iText library from Java to see what was actually going on behind the scenes with properties etc (since all the iOS CGPDF classes are Opaque).
