take it out of full screen,

take it out of full screen, there should be a box at the top asking if you trust the document

Yes, drop out of full screen

Yes, Adobe really fixed us good with their Reader 9 update - it used to be when you clicked on media in full screen a dialog box would pop up. But no more - they changed it to a "ribbon alert" where the top of the menu bar turns yellow and an alert notice appears in the yellow "ribbon" space below the menu bar.

Well I hate to tell you Adobe, but there's NO MENU BAR visible in full screen - so the ribbon alert doesn't appear. The doc just "sits there" with no alert.

Yeh I know, it's not a bug, it's a feature ... (wink: programmer's joke).

Is it really a progammers joke?

It seems to me back in 1980s and 1990s that remark was prompted by all the complaints leveled at Microsoft because many copies Word had somehow gotten infected by a virus that was put on the media it came with at the factory. Now you know why my pet name for that company is Microshaft. Oh, and by the way another reason for that is that I once worked for a software firm that was put out of business by the Microshaft habit of annnouncing that they were going to produce the same product we already had in production and distribution. Microshaft didn't even have such a product under development at the the time but the announcemnet they made instantly dried up our sales and we had to absorb the return of several hundred thousand software packages that no onw wanted to buy. So now you know exactly how Bil Gates and crew got so rich and never had to pay anyone even a single cent for the damage they did.

Hmmm! I'm using Reader 9

I am using Adobe Reader V9.4.1. My OS is WinXP SP3. My Browser is Firefox 3.6.13. When viewing the mag in full screen mode and I click on the "3d Click-n-spin", I get a popup in the middle of the screen, not on the "invisible" menu bar. From there, the process, once I click on "Allow", launches my browser and presents the figure with the Quick Time plug-in. I have no (well, it is a little "hokey") problem causing the figure to rotate CW or CCW. What am I doing wrong ?

(P,S, Irv - sounds like DR DOS - 1993 ?)

UPwilly ... there's the std edition and the embedded edition

The standard edition (which works on just about anything, including smart phones and iPads) goes to the internet to play the media.

The embedded edition is cool (all the media's already in the PDF - you stay in the magazine to play it), but pretty much is a PC-only viewing experience. Unfortunately, there are too many bugs or problems with embedded media in PDFs on non-PCs so we don't offer it. Besides the embedded edition is a massive download compared to the std edition since all the media is *also* embedded in the PDF.

It sounds like the original poster (OP) was trying to do the click-n-spin in the embedded edition and was getting no satisfaction - most likely was in full screen.

Makes no difference if in

Makes no difference if in full screen or in normal Adobe window.  Nothing spins when I click.  Yes embeded edition.

What to do on the 3-D click and spin page and it freezes

This is also known as Turkey no workey now The Fix.

If your using Mozilla Firefox the spin will not work until you go to the top of the page and click allow this or trust this site. This releases  the 3-D spin feature.

Try this:\

1) Go to page 90 in the embedded edition and left click the center of the page.

2) Look to the top of the photo for web approval as your browser has now blocked this function.

3) Go to the top of this photo click on the bar saying "Some features are being blocked & need your approval to be shown" click on the right end of this bar to ALLOW all features on this site always.

4) finally place your curser on the lower right or lower left side of the photo and hold down the left mouse button. The photo should start to spin, So now just tap the left mouse one click at a time to have controlled slow movement. You can also set the curser on one end of the car in the photo or the opposite end and holding down the left mouse button move your mouse from left to right to rotate the car in the photo.

Once you have allowed one 3-D photo to spin all 3-D photos will spin for you from left to right or right to left.

One more thing you will have to give your approval every time you open the magazine due to PDF have no memory of you releasing this function. Stupid PDF's but it's all we have for now.

P.S. this works in full screen or any other screen size when your on any a PC and have the embedded edition.

What to do on the 3-D click and spin page and it freezes

That may work with FF but does nothing when using Adobe Acrobat stand alone.

Acrobat Stand Alone

I am using Acrobat 7.1.0 Professional. When I click on the pg90 Click-N-Spin image in the embedded version "MRH11-01-Jan2011-E.pdf" the below message appears. Either answer results in the Click-N-Spin functioning. The message indicates the media is in Apple QuickTime. Do you have Quick Time installed on your computer?

later versions changed this dialog

 later versions of Acrobat changed from using a nice dialog like above to being a yellow ribbon just below the menu bar.  When you are in full screen mode however, this ribbon is not displayed!  You may need to exit full screen mode and then locate this ribbon and then you can reenter full screen mode.

ADOBE READER 9 is required

ADOBE READER 9 is required for the EMBEDDED Edition

The EMBEDDED Edition of MRH Issue 1 requires Adobe Reader 9 in order for everything to work right when viewing the mediaZine. If you try any other version and something doesn't work right, well, we told you what you needed to use!

THIS IS A FREE READER Above ^

You can get by with using Adobe Reader 7 or greater with the STANDARD Edition. But 3D Click and spin does NOT work with 7 .

I got it to work!

I finally got it to work.  I was about to pull out my last good hair when I took a look at the navigation bar along the left side of my Adobe window and saw a big red X at the top.  I clicked that and amazingly the yellow warning bar appeared!  I was able to "allow" acrobat to trust the document and was in business.

I hope this might help others.
