How can I create a link to a pdf file and show it in the same webpage or in a new tab

It is no problem to create a link. But the formats are limited and - unbelievable - the pdf format is not supported??!
Where are the parameter (_blank or _self) to show it for example in the same webpage or in a new tab??!

PDF is media. It is not a web document. Your end users must have plug-ins and helper apps installed on their device to see PDFs in browsers. Depending on their settings, the PDF file may or may not launch in the browser window. On my system, PDF files download and launch inside Acrobat Professional; not my browser.
The safest approach is to provide a screenshot on your page with a direct link to the PDF file so people can handle it as they wish. See example: http://www.adobe.com/manufacturing/3dpdfsamples/3dsolutions/

How can I create a link from a CHM file to a webhelp file?

How can I create a link from a CHM file to a webhelp file?
The CHM output (accreditation.chm) is stored in a parent directory, and the webhelp output (index.htm) is stored in a child directory.

Open the usual Link dialog and enter the relative path from where the CHM will be installed to where the webhelp will be installed.

I’m using version 11.0.10. So where the Menu resides in a folder ready to be burnt on to a CD, that same folder is where the links point to.
Thanks

How can I copy part of a larger PDF file and create a smaller one?

How can I copy part of a larger PDF file and create a smaller one?

Hi,
Copy the content of PDF file in Adobe Reader and paset it to MS Word then create PDF file from the Word file.
This may not work for all PDF files as some PDF files are not created correctly or some content cannot be copied.
Acrobat XI Pro has features to extract/delete/crop pages in PDF files and you can download it from www.adobe.com(Trial version- 30 days free). Or you can upgrade your subscription to Acrobat Plus and see more information at https://www.acrobat.com/acrobatplus/en/home.html

Hello, 
 
I've been using the PWS to run the website on NT workstation 4.0. It was working
fine. 
The URL should be as below: 
http://127.0.0.1/index.htm or http://localhost/index.htm
And suddently, it stops working, it can't find the connection. I tried to figure
out what's going on, but still NO CLUES. Does anyone
know what's going on? Please see the link for more.... I believe that I setup
everything correctly and the bugs still flying in the server.... 
Thank you for your help.

Hi!
This is a possible solution to your problem.
import java.io.*;
class AddressExtractor {
 public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException{
 //retrieve the commandline parameters
 String fileName = "default.html";
 if (args.length != 0) fileName =args[0];
 else {
 System.out.println("Usage : java AddressExtractor <htmlfile>");
 System.exit(0);
 BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(new File(fileName)));
 StreamTokenizer st = new StreamTokenizer(in);
 st.lowerCaseMode(true);
 st.wordChars('/','/'); //include '/' chars as part of token
 st.wordChars(':',':'); //include ':' chars as part of token
 st.quoteChar('\"'); //set the " quote char
 int i;
 while (st.ttype != StreamTokenizer.TT_EOF) {
 i = st.nextToken();
 if (st.ttype == StreamTokenizer.TT_WORD) {
 if (st.sval.equals("href")) {
 i = st.nextToken(); //the next token (assumed) is the '=' sign
 i = st.nextToken(); //then after it is the href value.
 getURL(st.sval); //retrieve address
 in.close();
 static void getURL(String s) {
 //Check string if it has http:// and truncate if it does
 if (s.indexOf("http://") > -1) {
 s = s.substring(s.indexOf("http://") + 7, s.length());
 //check if not mailto: do not print otherwise
 if (s.indexOf("mailto:") != -1) return;
 //printout anything after http:// and the next '/'
 //if no '/' then print all
 if (s.indexOf('/') > -1) {
 System.out.println(s.substring(0, s.indexOf('/')));
 } else System.out.println(s);
}Hope this helps. I used static methods instead of encapsulating everyting into a class.

It can be compiled/run as an applet or application something like this (e.g. for a Win command prompt).

The code is not intended to be well designed. It is just written to be brief and demonstrate a few points.
Edit 1:
Added some access keywords in a passing gesture that the sample aimed at encapsulation.

How can I create a link to download a file in Captivate?

So, in my Captivate file, I want people to be able to download an XML file to their machine. If I create a hyperlink to "open a file", then when a user clicks on it, captivate attempts to open the xml file in a browser window instead of downloading it. I can't figure out how to use the download attribute for an href in captivate and I'm not sure if javascript to do this would execute properfly. Anybody know the best way to accomplish a force download of a file from a captivate presentation (Captivate 6)?
TIA.

If you want to really do this so that it is consistent for all browsers, you'll need to implement this at the server level. I did this with the Dynamic PDF Export Widget. Typically, a PDF will be displayed in the browser, but I added the ability to download it instead. It does require a PHP file (or some other server side script). In the PHP file, you'll want to set the response header for Content-Disposition to "attachment"... that's the key.
The elbow grease part has to do with managing how the browser handles the link. You'll want the Captivate hyperlink to open a new window so that the student does not navigate away from your course in the current window. But since you are opening a PHP file, you can inject javascript into the document of the new window/tab to close itself. The download will still continue eventhough the window/tab was programmatically closed. However, most modern browsers will automatically close the window/tab for you when downloading a file. If you want to see an example of a PHP file that implements this, go ahead and download the trial version of the Dynamic PDF Export widget. You'll see the create.php file in the zip package.
http://captivatedev.com/2012/07/25/adobe-captivate-6-x-widget-dynamic-pdf-export/
If you want to go simple as TLC Media Design suggested, just zip it and let your students unzip the xml file, or just rename the xml file with a .zip extension and tell them to rename the file back to .xml after downloading.

How do I create a link from a pdf file to post on my website and Facebook?

I have created a pdf file from a document. Now I want to post a link to the pdf document on my website and on Facebook. In my Adobe Reader XI there is a tab that says "Create Link", but when I click onto it, it just takes me back to the original file, where it is saved on my computer, I am not real techy. If anyone can explain this step by strep, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you.

Reader will not be involved.
First, you need to upload the pdf to your website. Once you upload the file, you need to add a link to it from a page on your website and Facebook.

How can I display my ipad on a remote screen and charg it at the same time

I need to display my ipad on a remote screen for 10+ hours a day so I need to be able to charge it at the same time. Is this possible?

The best way to charge the iPad is with its included AC charger. If it is not doing something energy intensive, it can be charged and used at the same time and not deplete the battery, especially if services that are not being used are turned off.
Can you share more about the situation or environment in which you want to employ the iPad and which model you want to use? The new iPad consumes more energy and takes longer to charge the battery than the iPad 2.

Webapps. How can I create a link to a page instead of showing the details-view

I want my client to define what page a webapp shall point to in list-view, instead of showing the details view, but I cant figure out how. I have tried this, but it seams that tags don't work inside links:
<a href="{tag_my_custom_link}">{tag_name}</a>
.. does any one know how to do this?

The problem is the format of your tag. If your field name in the web app is "My Custom Link" then your tag is {tag_My Custom Link} (note the spaces).
Cedric is right though, make sure the field is a textfield and not a hyperlink field in your web app. If you use BC's new "Develop" tab up top you can navigate to your web app detail layout in /Layouts/Web Apps/<yourwebapp> and find "list.html". Then, you can use the toolbox on the right (click the data tab) to insert tags without having to guess. You can choose your custom field and insert the tag.

How do you create a link to a pdf in Muse? Thought it was going to show that with Katie's menu and can't find in any of the tutorials.

The steps would be :
- Add files from file menu > select pdf > add to site
- Select the content (rectangle,text etc) and click on hyperlink dropdown > it should show you the added files list
- Select the file you want to link

How can I remove a signature on a PDF file that I created using Preview on iMac computer??

How can I remove a signature on a PDF file that I created using Preview on iMac computer?? I inadvertently hit the icon on the Preview tool bar with an xS and a line through it. There is my signature in the middle of the PDF file I was editing. How do I get rid of it? Cannot select it. Cannot find any tools that allow me to delete it. The Preview documentation tells how to create and apply a signature, but not how to remove it. I think when a signature is added the doucment becomes locked from any editing.

Hey needadobehelp10,
Using Adobe Acrobat/Reader, you can simply change your PDF view settings under "View > Page Display > Single Page View"
Is this really you wish for?
Please let me know.
