Acrobat X, Word 2011, and Links in Table of Contents

I have a 300+ page document in Word 2011, with a Table of Contents that has been automatically generated by Word, based off headings.
When I "print" the document using "Save as Adobe PDF" from the Print dialouge, the PDF comes up, but the links in the ToC no longer work.
I've looked online for a solution, but I am noticing two things:
1) The option to turn the ToC links into Hyperlinks is not present on the Mac version of Word (2011).
2) I opened the file in Word 2010 on a PC, and enabled the above feature, and then brought it back to my Mac and Word 2011 - the links now seem active in Word. However, when I convert it to PDF, the links still do not work in the PDF.
Is there an automated way to make the links convert, or to add them to the PDF? With 300+ pages, a Table of Contents with working links is almost essential for navigation.
Thank you!

That's a defect (bug) in Adobe(Mac) that has been going on for 15 years and Adobe refuse to admit it and fix it. In Reference to Links.
The only work around is to use iWork's Pages.
The links should be active. Then Create the PDF from there The links should be live.
I've heard you can do the same thing with Preview, But haven't tried. I know Pages will.
Its no wonder that Apple won't allow Flash on the iPad. Besides not fixing Flash issues on the Mac paltform, They have a history of refusing to fix problems with Acrobat on The Mac Platform.

I am having the same problem. When I save a document in word, particularly with track changes and comments, it freezes and crashes. I fould this forum as I was reading help posted in a previous forum and the "helping" comments were saying this must be a problem on the user end - but that can't be right as so many people are posting this problem. Its clearly an incompatibility between the software from two competing companies. Figure it out Apple!

"Create Link" in table of contents being overwritten?

Hello community,
I'm using Acrobat X. Just one item in my table of contents is linking incorrectly. I've deleted the link and tried making new ones by:
Using the Link tool under Tools > Content.
Right-clicking the text and selecting "Create Link."
For some reason the link keeps taking me past the heading I want and onto the start of the following page. Text is about 2/3 of the way down on the page. I can link anywhere else in the document just fine -- even higher up on the same page. Just not around this one particular heading.
Any ideas why this is happening? It's driving me mad.
Thanks in advance.

Try using the go to a page view action for the link.
Be well...

Is CDN built in Azure Websites or CDN needs to be created and linked to website for content sharing

Is CDN built in Azure Websites or CDN needs to be created and linked to website for content sharing...

Hi
CDN is a separate service in Azure and you can serve your content there.
Then your azure website can use those CDNs that you provide in azure (just like any other CDN out there like Jquery Ajax etc ..)

MS word 2011 and Lion 10.7.2

Dear All,
After updating to Lion 10.7.2, I have encountered this error message when trying to save files in MS Word to my own hard drive. This happens after a couple of minutes use.
'You cannot save while the file is in use by another process. Try saving the file with a new name. (xxxxxx.docx)'
This makes MS Word very dangerous to use, as the autosave sometimes fails. Any ideas or hints, or will I need to downgrade to 10.7 and wait until Apple or MS offers a solution?
Many thanks.

Same problem here. All software up to date. I have an extra issue in that word 2011 completely crashes my finder as well on occaision, to the point where only a full restart will fix it. I saw an answer to the first problem in a microsoft PC forum that says it's a known problem and to turn off auto save. That is not an option for me! If only pages did cross refernces and captions I could get rid of word!

Issues with editing in Acrobat 5 with Form and link tool

In my version of Acrobat 5, I used to be able to edit with the form and link tools. Now for example if I try to add an action in the execute menu item in the Field Properties (Form tool or Link mode), it brings up a splash window saying 'Please select the menu item you want to execute from the menu bar' and that is it, It does not bring up a list so I can not add an executable item.
PowerBook G4 (ti) - Mac OS X 10.4.11
Any ideas, as it is really frustrating.

Ok... so I have created a file in InDesign and exported it as a .pdf to create an interative document.
I am trying to add next page from page 1 and so on, and also hyperlinks to e-mail addresses.
I create a box by dragging using Form Tool (F) whereby Field properties window pops up.
I Name the item and choose what type of button I require, and modify the settings in Appearance.
When I then go to choose an Action... I choose mouse up, then Add... which brings up the Add an Action window.
I choose 'Execute Menu Item' from the drop down list and then try to 'Edit Menu Item' this brings up a further window 'Menu Item' with the message "Please select the menu item you want to execute from the menu bar" and here I try to choose the type of item I need to execute.
I have tried clicking on the item on the menu bar, but it makes a faint sound when I click with my mouse... but no no item is executed.
I have done this before with previous documents, but not for a while... but it does not seem to want to do it this time around.
However, I can execute the following in the same window 'Edit Menu Item'
Import Form Data
JavaScript
Movie
Open File
Read Article

Any thoughts?

Creating PDF with links in Table of Contents

How do I convert a Word file (in which the page numbers in the Table of Contents are links to their corresponding headings) to a PDF file so that the page numbers in the Table of Contents are still liinks to their corresponding headings? I am working with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. Thanks!

Hmmm. I hadn't heard of this limitation. Indeed, http://www.pdfa.org/2011/08/pdfa-–-a-look-at-the-technical-side/ says "With regard to hyperlinks, the special ‘Link’ annotation type is permitted with or without activated ‘Appearance’. " Maybe this document is being generated with a different kind of annotation.

SAP Portal development-Table Controls having link to table cell content

Hello all,
I am creating the SAP portal in which i am using Table controls to display the data. I want the function should be called whenever user clicks the table cell content. i.e. i want to create the function link to table cell.
Please reply soon.
Regards,
Prashant

Hi Prashant,
You haven't mentioned if you are using Webdynpro or HTMLB JSPDynPages.
If its the webdynpro, you can declare then and there itself that the content to the table column is a row my changing the property.
If it is a HTMLB component TableVIew that you are trying to use, you can include a TableCellRenderer Class which renders the cells of the table at the runtime as links or buttons or whatever you want to put.
So let me know, what exactly you are trying to use, then finding a solution will be more clear.
regards,
Sujana

PDF/A results in non-functional links in Table of Contents -- Normal?

Hey,
Got a quick Q here - I recently converted a .docx into the PDF/A 1-b (2005) standard, but for whatever reason, save the computer that did the actual conversion, the links in my Table of Contents no longer function.
If I use Preflight to remove the PDF/A tag, the links work OK. Is there something about PDF/A that removes linking functionality that I'm not aware of? These links on my document simply move to different parts of the document, nothing too fancy.
Thanks.

Thanks.

Converting Word Doc to PDF on Mac and *retaining links* (Acrobat XI & Word 2011)

Whether I do it through Adobe > Create PDF or on Word from Save As > PDF, the hyperlinks in the Word doc no longer work in the PDF. I am on a Mac.
I've read a few work arounds (that require other tools to complete), but none have worked all that well, often messing up the formatting.
Would love to see Adobe fix this problem!

I agree with John that the version level may be the issue. Typically the first release of each version is buggy. Often the problem seems to be with the fonts - maybe the source of your problem. It might be that the "P" characters were part of the original as flags to change a font style and did not get removed.
You might also try printing to the Adobe PDF printer to see if that gives the same result (I suspect it will). If it does, an update would be appropriate and should at least be tried on one machine.

When creating PDF from Word, links in table of contents are getting switched and messed up

Has anyone else seen this error? Any idea on a fix?

Something to try - update the entire TOC table prior to PDF output.
Have Adobe PDF printer as the OS default printer.
