AcrobatActiveXVB SDK Sample - Links in PDF Not working

Hi,
I am trying to create an application in VS.net (similar to AcrobatActiveXVB SDK Sample) to display PDF files in my application. PDF file opens fine. But external links in PDF file are not working. I trying to display a main index pdf file, which contains external links to 10 other PDF files. All 10 PDF files are located in my local hard drive (main index pdf file is also located in the same folder). If I open the main index file in Acrobat Reader then it the links are working fine. It is not working only when it is opened inside the AcrobatActiveXVB SDK Sample. Please help.
Please Note: Links are not grayed. I get the hand mouse pointer, when I mouse over to the links.
Windows OS - XP SP3
Acrobat Reader - Tried it with 9.1.3 & 9.3.3. Un-installed and re-installed multiple times
Thanks in advance.

hello, the pdf viewer is still somewhat experimental and under very active development - you could try if the same error is occurring in the current development version, which you can download as an addon from http://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/extensions/firefox/pdf.js.xpi
in case it has the the same rendering problems, you could then file a bug report at https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/issues (a github account is necessary for it though) - please also provide a sample document where the error is apparent!

Links in PDF not working when viewed in browser

Whenever I view an interactive PDF in a Firefox window the links in the PDF don't work. They work in other browsers like Chrome and Safari, but in Firefox they are as dead as normal text.
It also says: "This PDF document contains forms (even though it doesn't). The filling of form fields is not supported."
Why is Firefox's PDF viewing and editing capabilities so poor when all the other browsers have not trouble with it?

Links within PDF not working

I have emailed myself a few simple PDFs and have noticed the hyperlinks within my PDFs aren't working on my 3G or my 3GS (current, non-jail broken OS).
I'm not certain if this is common behavior and the onboard PDF rendering on iPhone OS is lacking or if perhaps my PDFs are malformed somehow.
Can anyone confirm for me with PDFs of their own making?

Attachments are not fully functional with iPhone currently...since iPhone doesn't have the ability to do anything but display the PDF or doc etc, the links don't hyperlink to the data you're trying to open from within the PDF...
Perhaps with OS 4.0 this will be available

CS4 "Save as Adobe PDF" not working in Mountain Lion

CS4 Save as Adobe PDF not working in Mountain Lion
Just bought a new Mac with mountain lion, installed CS4 design premium twice trying to fix this. When you go to "print" then "Save as Adobe PDF" the process fails with a pop-up saying "An error occurred while saving the PDF file". I can still do the standard "Save as PDF" - but that usually results in a file size 10x larger than Save as Adobe PDF so it won't work for me; I need the small file sizes of Save as Adobe PDF.
When I go to Help > Repair Acrobat Installation it seems to be recognizing a repair needed with Adobe PDF Printer (see screenshot below); but when I go through the repair nothing changes it still won't work.
Any help is much appreciated!

"Save As Adobe PDF" works fine in Snow Leopard.
Thanks for the link, but this is no help - I already have "Save As Adobe PDF" on the menu - the problem is when I click that it errors out...
I just think its sad that Adobe charges people $2000 and provides zero support for future updates; when I buy an iMac for half that amount of money or an iPhone I get operating system support and bug fix downloads to deal with the latest internet advances for years to come - but Adobe apparently takes your money and says sayonara! Is it really that hard to provide updates on $2000 worth of software for say 24 months??

Some PDFs not working in Preview. Mac created PDFS work but windows created PDFS dont

Some PDFs not working in Preview. I installed adobe reader and then deleted it because the software was aweful and PDFs have been haveing issues ever since. I can open up PDFs created on my Mac in preview just fine...
But when I try and open a PDF created on a windows computer it says:
"Please wait...

I am not sure why where the PDF was created would make a difference but couldnt help but notice that was the difference between the PDF files that work and the ones that give that message. I can view the PDFs on a windows computer just fine and never had issues untill adobe, it seems to have messed up PDFs on my Mac and I am so frustrated with them. I have searched my computer for any remaining adobe files, deleted them and restarted my computer but I am still getting this message.

Why is exporting to PDF not working?

Why is exporting to PDF not working?

Dear Claudio,
I know it wasn't much to go on but I got your attention!
I work for a charity and use a program called "Donor Perfect".
It has a feature that when you generate a report it gives you the option to export to MSWord, Excel, and PDF.
Below is the step by step description of what happens.
After log on ......
     1. Click on Reports
     2. Listings
     3. Report Category(any)
     4. Select Record type(any)
     5. Select report options (any selection filter that fits or Build a filter) and sort order(any)
     6. Enter title (accordingly)
     7. Click on Preview
     8. When next screen opens with report visible - in "Report Print preview" line above report choose PDF icon
     9. Export to PDF window opens
     10. click on Page range-ALL
     11. What to print-All pages in Range
     12. Save as C:\DPW32\dpsumm.pdf
     13. collate
     14. number of copies(1)
     15. Click on "Screen"
     16. Click on "Display Conversion Status"
     17. Then "OK"
     18. After conversion status reaches "100%" nothing happens -screen does not change!
Then I minimize DP screen and I go to Start menu
     1. Click on Start
     2. Then "My Computer"
     3. Local Disk "C"
     4. Dpw32
     5. Look for "dpsumm" file with today's date
     6. Size of file says 0 KB and that's it!!!!
In previous versions of DP (8 and 9)
the PDF would open on the screen as soon as the Step 18 was finished, then I could save it with an identifying name to a different folder and use it as an attachment that a Donor could receive by e-mail.
I hope I can get back to that because now I have to convert to "Word" (Which takes a long time)then from that I have to create PDF from Acrobat. too many steps ..... if I have 20-30 reports it's too cumbersome.
Waiting for your suggestions,

After installing firefox 27 "save link as" is not working

after installing firefox 27 "save link as" is not working started a few days ago use to work fine before v27 was installed. please help.

Hello hansram, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item: 
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]] 
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.

D-Link dub e100 not work in mac 10.10

hi , i just upgraded my macbook pro to mac 10.10 and after upgrade my USB-to-ethernet device (D-link dub e100) not work and in setting says me self assigned ip
please help.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I have found that clicking on the photo works on export, but not all of the time.
I tried redefining a keyboard shortcut. That does not work since the "Menu: View/Zoom In" function does not work either.
Strange that it is only a problem with multiple photos open and they appear in tabs. I have tried deselecting "Open new documents as tabs" under preferences. That 'fixes' the problem since the zoom in / out does not work only with multiple tabs open, but it works with multiple windows open. I suspect that this 'fix' will work on the export problem too, since I will be exporting the active window.
So essentially, the 'open new documents as tabs' is so buggy that it should not be used.
Hopefully Adobe will not try to charge me for an upgrade to CS5 in order to fix this problem.

Adobe PDF not working in N95

in my nokia N95 i m not able to open pdf files last 20 days i think adobe PDF not working properly i want to repair it but how i donn know? can anybody help me to get rid of this prob

I do not think that PDF Maker has been updated for IE9 yet. IE9 is a recent release and Adobe does not generally work on the final software until the release. They also have to be sure it still works with other products. In the meantime, try just printing to the Adobe PDF printer or opening the URL in Acrobat directly.

Destination Link from PDF to another PDF not working in Browser

I'm linking PDFs by using destination links to get to a specific page of the destination PDF, which works just fine.
Now I'm displaying all PDFs in a browser.
My links are now opening the destination PDF, but instead of opening on the destination page it is opening the first page of the PDF. The destination address seems to be lost or ignored with this link.
Is there any method to get the PDF to open at the destination link page in a browser environment?

I should say the new lines are also being disallowed. Personally, I'd copy to NotePad, then re-copy the bits I wanted to use.

TCS2 - Cross References between linked Frame files not working

Hi,
All the cross-references in my linked in FrameMaker 9 files work when output in PDF, however, when outputting WebHelp from RoboHelp 8, FrameMaker cross references that reference another FrameMaker file (i.e. not Current) do not work. The format is correct, they appear blue and underlined like every other link/cross-reference, but when moused over in the browser, there's no link to click. The HTML created by RoboHelp does not point to a file. For example, here's the HTML for one link not working as shown from within RoboHelp:
   •   <a>Create Supported App from
Install</a>.
RoboHelp appears to partially convert the link as appears in the HTML but I think there should be more information in the <a> definition, such as in the HTML created for a link that references a topic created from the same FrameMaker file.
   •   <a
 href="#XREF_17096_Creating_an">Creating an App</a>
I've ensured all the cross-references in each framemaker file in the book have the same format and are mapped to <$paratext> in the project settings. I've also tried importing the FrameMaker book instead of linking it and the same problem persists.
Any ideas on how to make RoboHelp create the link correctly? Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jacquie Finney

Most of the major cross reference issues have been resolved in TCS 2 with further improvements in TCS 3.
Please ensure that you have all the patches of TCS 2 installed on your system.
If the issue is still there, there could be an altogether different reason for cross reference not working or the issue might have been fixed in TCS 3.
The reason or workaround can be analysed once the sample files with the issues are provided.
It will be great if you could share a small sample FM document containing the cross reference and target having the issue. If the cross reference is across documents, then a FrameMaker book along with its FM files can be shared in a zip format.
You can mail the documents to me at magrawalATadobeDOTcom

Framemaker 12, Save as PDF and Print PDF Not working...

We are using Framemaker 12 version 12.0.3.424, it tells me it is the latest patch level, and the issue we are having is that it won't either save as or print to PDF, both options are failing, they start up and then go to a certain point and come up as "not responding" and then just stops. I have managed to get a postscript file on two occasions that got 141 pages out of 1400+. I have gone through a bunch of the threads here and made sure that I have changed Adobe PDF printer to the default and deselected the box about using the specific fonts, still nothing. We are also using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard, and that is now up to the latest patch level as well. I am running out of things to try in order to get this full book put together and ready for delivery. If anyone has any additional things to try that would be great. One thing I feel might be an issue is that some of the files seem to be using a different font, "Times" vs. "Times New Roman", Frame automatically substitutes it, so was wondering if that is the issue.
Any and all assistance will be great on this.

> .ps file was running about 57,000kb
Then you aren't anywhere near a 32-bit file size constraint.
> We are running 64 bit machines here, though the program I think is the 32 bit version.
Pretty much all CPUs are 64-bit now. What matters is the OS version, and Win7 and 8 installs are commonly 64-bit these days. FM may not even have specific 32- or 64-bit installs. I've tested FM9 on Win7/64 for file size limits, and it sails past 4GB with no problems.
> ... stops everytime on one particular page, that has was is an OLE linked .vsd file in it.
As if the world needed another reason to never ever use OLE for anything anywhere, esp. in Framemaker. Export that object in a stable graphical file format (PDF should work). Import that.

FormsCentral PDFs not working for Linux and Unix users

I recently created a PDF (using Indesign > Acrobat IX Pro > Formscentral [AFC]) that includes radio buttons, form fields, linked videos set to play in the PDF once clicked and (after running through AFC) a submit button.
The form has been distributed and we have already had hundreds of successful responses collected in the AFC site, all is working well there.
One major problem we are having is that we have a lot of Linux/Unix users and the response from them is that they can't activate the videos, the form fields are out of kilter alignmentwise and the submit button does not work. Even when using the proper Adobe Acrobat Reader (v9, for example).
Is the Adobe development team aware of problems such as these for Linux/Unix platforms and is there a suggested fix that they know of?
The link to the actual file is here: http://cms.iopscience.iop.org/alfresco/d/d/workspace/SpacesStore/b5a48eac-8642-11e2-8cf8-e 50acbc9fd86/NJP-Video-Abstracts-Competition-2013.pdf
Thanks in advance

Hi Jesse,
can you email me ([email protected]) the original PDF (before you imported it in FormsCentral)? Also, I'm curious about the format of the video in the PDF. Does the video in the PDF worked in Linux/Unix before going through the FormsCentral import/export?
When I look at your PDF on my Red Hat Entrprise Linux 6.0 system with Reader 9.5.4 it does look fine (location of the fields) but the video generate an error (which I'm still investigating). I have not yet try the submit button on your form (as I don't want to submit bad data to you) but I seem to have an issue with the submit button on other PDF forms I generated (when I try to submit from a linux machine). Still investigating that as well.

Links in pdf's work if...

The links created in version 5.0.1 when exporting to a pdf did not work. They now work in 5.1 newly created docs EXCEPT if you open a doc created in 5.0.1 they will not work. If you copy paste to a new document they work.
FYI

Starting in Firefox 14, Firefox no longer creates registry settings for launching links using "DDE". This has been reported to create two different problems:
* "Firefox is already running" or "Firefox is not responding" error when following links in email messages in Thunderbird ([https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/932461 Can't open links in Firefox by clicking URL in Thunderbird])
* New instance of Firefox launches if the existing instance is running in Sandboxie ([https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/933798 Firefox is running. I click on a link, say in an email, it tries to start another instance of the browswer instead of just opening a new tab as it did before.])
Not sure whether your "silent fail" scenario is related.
It is possible to configure Firefox 14 to use DDE by inserting some settings into the registry. I haven't researched this carefully myself, but there was some information about it on and external site linked in the Sandboxie thread.
