Can an object link to a webpage? PDF

Is there some way to make an object or box link to a webpage? Say after exported to PDF, the viewer can clink on an object and it will send information to a certain website.
I have seen a PDF doc (a form to fill out) on the web with a button on the bottom of the PDF page that says "click here to submit form". Is there a way to do this in InDesign???

Just to clarify:
You can create a button in InDesign to go to a url. However, simply going to a url is not enough to submit a form. You will have to modify the bahavior of the button in Acrobat to do what you want.

How can I make links clickable on all PDF viewers/readers?

I have an InDesign document that's been built to be 'interactive' when printed as a PDF: along the top of each page are links that allow you to skip ahead in the document to specific pages. The links are created using boxes over the relevant text that are set up in an alternate layer of the Indesign document. The links just take the reader to a specific page of the PDF - not to an element on a page. There are minimal images - one on the cover and a logo on every page. It's mainly text.
The links open in the PDF when viewed in Acrobat, and also on on Mac Book (it looks great!), but they don't open on iPads or other devices (and it looks like a complete dud when viewed this way). Are there some settings I can change/use to make my document 'clickable' from all readers?
I'm very far ahead with this project and need to publish it urgently. I wasn't aware of this issue previously. Any suggestions/solutions gratefully received. Just to clarify - the links are mostly internal. I just need people to be able to jump around within the document.

You cant transfer interactivity to a PDF when you print to PDF as you have written.
PDFs have to be exported so that interactivity will live inside the PDF. Of course you have to set up links in the Hyperlink Panels.
But not every reader is supporting interactivity. URL are supported from Reader and Apple iBooks. But you can't force the user to use a certain application anyway.

Pages '09: Can't Embed Link to Map in PDF

I'm really stumped. Links to web pages that I embed in my Pages publishing docs operate as expected when I export the document to PDF. However, I'm having no success with links to Google, Mapquest or Yahoo maps. The links are live in Pages, but are dead once I export to PDF. The link text shows up blue and underlined in the PDF, but it's just static text. This is the case whether I open the PDF in Adobe Reader or Preview in MacOS, or in Adobe Acrobat Pro X in Windows XP. This is also happening on two different Macs. Again, the problem is only with links to map locations. Any ideas?

I just repeated the steps that I had shared with you and achieved the same desired result: a PDF with a working map link. Here are the steps I just applied in outline form:
In Pages '09 4.2, create the standalone text or text box content, that is to receive the hyperlink. If textbox, click outside the textbox to set the box in Pages. If you don't do this, applying a hyperlink to the enclosed text, and saving as a PDF will result in that text not appearing in your PDF.
In your web browser (I used Safari 6.0.2), visit the map site of your choice; key in the location in the search window, and then double-click at least twice on the map to generate data in the map URL.
Choose the link/embed button on the map page. Ensure the URL or tiny URL is selected. Copy it to the clipboard with either Edit > Copy, or Command+C. Perform no other clipboard activity until all steps are complete.
In Pages, double-click the word you want to apply the hyperlink too. If it is multiple words, double-click the first word, hold the shift key down, hover the i-beam mouse pointer over the end of the last word, and click once. Your hyperlink target is now selected. Do not click within the Pages document.
Again, in Pages, Insert > Hyperlink > Webpage.
Enable hyperlink is selected.
Triple-click the default Apple link to select it.
Paste the map hyperlink from the clipboard using Edit > Paste, or Command+V.
Press return to set the hyperlink to your selected text.
Save your Pages document and Export the PDF.
I have walked through this list and was able to recreate one, or multiple map links in the same document, that survived into the PDF file. Both Preview and Adobe Reader XI received active map links that worked.
Hopefully, you will have better success with these steps and avert the Acrobat Pro route.

Error when attaching object link in DMS

Hi Experts,
I am calling the function module CV110_DOC_CREATE in my program. This program i have attached to a ztransaction.Thus the screen after entering the document type, document version and part in the cv01n transaction appears when my ztransaction is executed. But the problem is that i can attach object link (document info record) when the ztransaction is executed initially. But when i click on back button and again comes to the screen i am not able to attach the object link.Then it gives an error as " Object does not exist". Please help.

When the back button is clicked screen for my ztransaction comes.From there it is calling the actual screen to attach the object link.there i am trying to attach the object link again...then it is saying as object does not exists. This same dir i have attached earlier as object link when the ztransaction was run initially.

How to Make Link Open an Attached PDF?

I see in "Link Properties" and "Actions" that there is an option to "Open a file"; but when I select this, and click "Add"--I am not given the opportunity to link to the other PDF file that is already attached to the PDF file that I'm working on.
I know this can be done, just don't see how right now.
Thanks.

Have the Attachments pane open so that you can see the attached PDF(s).
Using Acrobat's Link tool lay down the link annotation (the 'box' you create) over the text string of interest.
In the Create Link dialog use "Go to a page view".
Click "Next".
The "Create Go to View" dialog presents itself.
Leave it for the time being.
Go to the open Attachments pane. Select the desired PDF. Right click and select "Open Attachment".
Back to the "Create Go to View". Now, click "Set Link".
The "Create Go to View" dialog removes itself.
You're now observing the PDF that has the attached PDF(s).
Note that the PDF to which you linked is also still open.
This will be the case for each attached PDF you link to.
So, as part of the clean up ---
Do a Save As to the PDF having the attached PDFs.
Close the other PDFs.
Good to know.
The default for the link(s) will open the target, attached PDF while closing the "source" PDF that contains the attached PDF(s).
You can edit each link in the "source" PDF to configure "Open in" --
--| Window set by user preference
--| New window
--| Existing window
Open a link's properties. Select the Actions tab. Click the Edit button that is under the Actions 'window'.

Object link with finanace Documents (Vendor Invoice) Tcode FB03

Hi all,
Can DMS object link be maintained with finance documents for ex Vendor Invoice?
Tcode FB03.
Thanks
Ansih

Hi,
you can link documents to purchase order item or purchase requisition then obviously this will be displayed in vendor invoice.
Best practice is to use SAP DMS standard functions. Don't go to link with vendor invoice.Anyhow MIRO and MIGO transaction are
depeandent on purchase requisition.I hope this will resolve your query and is a best practice.

Could you please help how to acheive Object Link Classification

I have found that object link classification (Class type 048) is possible for R/3 objects.The classification button gets activated after choosing "Addition functions" from SPRO settings for DMS document types.
Our scenario goes like: We have created two docuement types Baseline(BSL) and SB(Service Bulletin).Inside BSL docuement we are maintaining several SB docuements as "Document Info Record(DRAW)".
When under Object Link tab, we are going to "Customer(KNA1)" or "Equipment(EQUI)" tab , we can see object link classification button however it is not visible inside "Document info record(DRAW)".
Could you please guide me through this - why it is so and if possible what settings need to be done.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.
I have asked for your email address to be edited out. Posting your address in an open thread is a sure way to be bombarded by unwanted email, remember it will be here long after you have resolved your problem, for automated detection software to find.

Maintaining active links and objects when converting Word to PDF

I'm using Acrobat X Standard and am trying to convert a Word 2010 file to .pdf. The Word document has an embedded Word file within it (Insert > Object > Display As Icon), but when I convert the Word file that embedded object is not active - it's more or less a static picture. All hyperlinks (e.g., URLs, Table of Contents) remain active links, except for the embedded object. How do I accomplish this?

You don't. The whole application infrastructure requird to support the insert of an object into an Office file is not something that can be sent over and into a PDF.
It's not something supported by PDF.

PDF from Keynote_Exit Slide object link error

When I export Keynote presentation to PDF all the object hyperlinks work fine (Forward / Back / Specific Slide No) but the 'Exit Slideshow' object doesn't even though it appears as a hyperlink. Any thoughts much appreciated. Thanks very much.
Mazinsky

Hi Jay,
Independent of the 'Object check' flag within document management
system customising, the object links can be broadly categorised into
two types
1. Links that can be created without their existence previously
Ex: material master, equipment, customer, vendor etc.
This means that even thought a material XYZ does not exists in R/3 there
is a possibility to link it to a document, and create the material at
any later point of time.
2. Links that are mandatorily to be present before linking them with
the document. Ex: WBS element, Sales order item, document info record,
asset master etc
This means that R/3 system expects the links to be existing before they
are linked to any document.
The above explaination goes irrespective of the customising setting.
The system is designed to reject NON-existing entries of WBS elements,
sales order etc, when user tries to link them.
I hope this information is usefull for you. If it is, please reward points.
Best regards,
Christoph

Where on the Adobe website can I find a link for a free PDF to text converter?

Can't open links in pdf file 9.3.2

I have installed Reader 9.3.2 and all of the sudden I can't open links within a pdf file. I get a block message and it doesn't give me the option to choose Allow. When I go to Edit > Preferences > Trust Manager > Settings everything is grayed out. I had to revert back to 9.3.1 for it to work again. Does anyone know the fix for this. Our 9.3.2 install was streamlined into a 9.3.0 msi package and then installed through a GPO.

same problem here.. but I figured it out.. Believe it or not, if you just wait 5-10min it will come up. I also "End-Task" on some exe that start or had "3D"in the name and after that adobe would come up fast when opening pdf's. Think you need to disable some of the internet related items under preferences.

Why can't I use the tab key to highlight links on a webpage?

In previous versions of FF and in other browsers, I can use the tab key to navigate through all the links on a webpage - I can't seem to do this with FF5, the tab key will only highlight the address bar, search bar, and any form fields within a webpage.
Using the tab key to navigate through links on a page is an accessibility feature, and I often use it to show hidden skip links at the top of a webpage for users who prefer to use the keyboard over a mouse and for assistive technologies.
Is this something that can be turned back on in preferences? Or is there a reason why it was removed from this version?

It can be fixed in Mac OS X Tiger preferences (Keyboard -> "all controls") or try a ctr-F7
