How to access hyperlinks in Adobe Reader X when the hyperlinks were created in Microsoft Visio then exported as a PDF?

I created some hyperlinks in Microsoft Visio then saved the document as a PDF. When I opened the document and scroll over the shape I set the hyperlink to, it doesn't even register it as a hyperlink. The cursor doesn't change shape as a click able object, when I do open another PDF file that has hyperlinks it responds correctly to each shape (those hyperlinks were created within Adobe so I don't know if that has anything to do with it). I have looked all over the internet and found a couple of forums that answered a couple portions of my question but not entirely hence why I am reaching out now. If anyone could assist with this I would be very grateful.

Commonly there are three ways to create a PDF from MS Visio.
The first is a Microsoft process built in to the Office applications.
For issue resolution (if any) associated with this process you must investigate what is available over in Microsoft web space.  
The second and third methods are predicated on having Acrobat installed.
Method 2 makes use of the Adobe PDF virtual printer.
This is installed with an install of Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Pro (but not with Adobe Reader). 
This virtual printer outputs to PDF rather than paper. As with output to paper the output to PDF provides no interactivity (e.g., links).
Method 3 makes use of PDFMaker.
Acrobat's PDFMaker is installed with an install of Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Pro (but not with Adobe Reader). 
PDFMaker can be configured to pass Office applications' hyperlinks through to the output PDF as PDF Link annotations.
IMPORTANT DETAILS !!
#1 - For Viso you must use Acrobat Pro.
#2 - The Acrobat / Viso versions must be compatible.
#3 - (as with all software) the application version(s) used must be compatible with the OS used.
Consequently, for any meaningful suggestions to be forthcoming you must identify the specific method used eh.

    I don't think you understand: I want to open Dreamweaver and build a brand new site, then when I am done I want to host the dreamweaver site on the Business Catalyst platform. I dont want to use anything in BC to build the site, I just want to use the hosting platform. I do not want to import a BC site into dreamweaver or anything like that. I just want to use BC the same way I would use godaddy, or uhost or any other hosting provider. Based on your response you said that "of course its possible to build a BC site in Dreamweaver" I dont want to build a BC site, I want to build a Dreamweaver site and host it on the BC platform. Like I said before it doesnt seem like this is possible. As of now we can only build a new site in MUSE and integrate it into BC without using a BC template. Can you understand what I am saying. I DONT WANT TO USE A BC TEMPLATE, I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH BC WHILE I AM BUILDING THE SITE WITH DREAMWEAVER, JUST LIKE MUSE DOES.

  • How do I digitally sign with reader XI when the fill and sign functions are grayed out?

    I am using Adobe Reader XI. I am suppose to digitally sign a fillable .pdf document for online submission. However, the fill and sign functions are grayed out.
    What are my options to put a signature in the signature box of the document?
    Thank you in advance!

    Pat Willener,
    Thank you for replying.
    Here is an image capture of the properties.
    The document is part of a job application that is suppose to be digitally signed and submitted soon. I have thought about printing, signing, and redigitizing to submit, however, the cells are statically sized and do not expand to include all of the information when printed.
    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

  • Cannot open any files in Adobe CS6 even though the files were created in cs6

    I am currently using Adobe cs6 I cannot get any of my old files to open do anybody know of any possible issues that may have been experienced with this program please help

    Hi there,
    Are you able to open the file in Acrobat? If so, try saving it as a .PDF then see if you can open the PDFs in Illustrator.
    Otherwise, the files might be corrupted.

  • Hi I would like to know, how do I add a Hyperlink on Flash, that opens a PDF in adobe reader and not the web browser.

    Hi I would like to know, how do I add a Hyperlink on Flash, that opens a PDF in adobe reader and not the web browser.

    Yoh, what is FSCCommanr ? sorry man I am an absolute beginner in Flash. I tried the code:
    /* Click to Go to Web Page
    Clicking on the specified symbol instance loads the URL in a new browser window.
    Instructions:
    1. Replace http://www.adobe.com with the desired URL address.
       Keep the quotation marks ("").
    instance_name_here.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage);
    function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void {
      navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com"), "_blank");
    this is the same code I used before and it opens a pdf file in a web browser, and it doesn't open an AutoCAD file.

  • How to restore files from Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad)?

    I started using Adobe Reader for iOS to annote and comment pdf files. I used the Adobe Reader for Mac OS to upload the files to the Acrobat.com cloud.
    Opening the files on iPad worked pretty straight forward and I started editing the pdf right away. When opening the pdf again a couple of days later on iPad, the app downloaded the pdf again in an older version with a couple of annotations present, but a couple of the more recent missing. This is a very disturbing behaviour since I cannot understand why it would sync an older version of the pdf from the cloud over the newer one. Luckily, this was no very important edit, but I will be very hesitant to use this feature in the future if there is a likelyhood for this happening again. Is there any possibility to recover the file with the original edits from the iPad?
    The second thing that I don't understand is the mismatch of files shown in the adobe creative cloud and on acrobat.com when using the acrobat reader. 2 of the files I uploaded can be seen in both the adobe creative cloud and in the 'acrobat.com' cloud (is that a different thing?) as can be accessed from adobe reader on Mac OS. However, there are also files that can be accessed exclusively from the adobe creative cloud and files that can be accessed exclusively from the 'acrobat.com' cloud. I don't really understand the difference and how to sync the two.
    Help is highly appreciated. Thanks!

    AnAppleADay,
    I personally agree that having two separate Adobe cloud storage services (Acrobat.com and Creative Cloud) is confusing and undesirable.  However, I am not able to speculate on Adobe products or services in future releases.
    There is no direct way to download files on Acrobat.com to your iPad/iPhone.  However, you can download files from Acrobat.com via the web browser interface (https://cloud.acrobat.com/files) on your Windows or Mac desktop/laptop computer.
    Then you can (a) email them to yourself and open them in Adobe Reader on your iPad, which results in storing the files locally on your iPad, or (b) use the desktop version of iTunes to transfer the files from your computer to your iPad.  (It's convoluted.  But I am not aware of any other options.)  However, if you uninstall Adobe Reader for iOS, the operating system will erase all of associated application data including locally stored PDF documents.
    I suspect that your problem is related to changes not being saved to Acrobat.com properly (not about syncing to an older version).  When you make a lot of changes to a PDF document (e.g adding annotations or filling out forms), I'd recommend closing the modified PDF document occasionally, which forces Adobe Reader to save the changes to Acrobat.com.  You will have less chance of losing changes due to unexpected problems or defects in Adobe Reader.
    Please let us know if you know the steps to reproduce the problem (of losing changes) with a particular file on Acrobat.com.  We can investigate the problem.
    Thank you.

    If the PDF is a form fillable PDF, which I assume that it is, email it to yourself or send it to DropBox and open it on your computer. You should see the fields filled in there. It works for me if I do it that way.
    Adobe Reader supports it, but the other apps don't. I assume that if you email the PDF to a computer user it would be readable in Adode Reader.

    It may depend on the plugin that is loaded into your browser. However, right click on a PDF and select the Open With option and go to the default button to select Acrobat as the default. That might do it.

  • How to view PDF documents because say you must launch adobe reader and accept the end user license

    I have a question about to display the PDF documents, could you tell me how can I display it?, I have this message that say before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser

    I've got the same issue and I want to use Preview to read pdfs on Safari. At some point I had Acrobat Reader installed, but deleted it and everything associated with it. However no matter what, I get: "Before launching pdf documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the end user license agreement, then quit and relaunch the browser."
    This means I am forced to use Reader, when I don't want to. There seems no way to default to Preview to read pdfs on Safari, even after deleting Adobe Reader completely.
    Anyone have a clue how to fix this?

  • How To Mark Content In adobe Reader

    Hi Experts,
    I hope you guys are doing well. At work I have to read lots of PDF document and I want to mark or color few things so that I don't have to search Important points again and again. FYI I using adobe reader 11 on Centos 6.
    Any help would be great.

    Odd that you say you have Reader XI because it's not listed in the Tech Specs:  Tech specs | Adobe Reader XI
    It's not listed in the available Reader XI downloads:  Adobe - Adobe Reader download - All versions
    The last version of Adobe Reader listed for Linux of any type was Adobe Reader 9.x and it did not have the ability to comment without Reader Extended PDF files.
    So that is why I am puzzled on how you are running Adobe Reader XI when there doesn't seem to be one listed anywhere on Adobe's website for any Linux distribution.
    Now if you were running WINE or a VM that would make sense.

    Once again, my thanks for your assistance. If I may impose on your generosity one more time, if I understand you correctly if I create a document on Word or WordPerfect, print it and scan it to create a pdf, the search function will not work. But, if I create the pdf document in Word the search function will work. Unfortunately, I am not sure how I create a pdf document in Word other than by printing it and scanning it. Could you please explain.

  • How to open in regular adobe reader, NOT touch?

    How do I open a pdf in adobe reader, NOT adobe reader touch, as I am on a laptop?  I dowloaded adobe reader, and uninstalled (I thought) adobe reacher touch - yet when I open a file from email - it defaults to touch which I cannot operate on a laptop.

    You can go to Control Panel > Programs > Default Programs > Set Default Programs, then set Adobe Reader XI as the default program.
