How to maintain PDF links when viewed in Apple Mail

Hi All
I've created a single page promo flyer in InDesign which has an email and a web link at the foot of the page. The flyer is to be distributed to clients as a PDF attachment via Apple Mail. The PDF has been created from the InDesign doc and the links display and behave as they are intended to. When I attach the PDF to a mail it displays just fine. I want recipients to be able to click on and follow the links directly from the Mail view in a single action without having to download the PDF and then click on the links. However when you try to click the links the whole PDF highlights blue and no link is activated. Can anyone suggest a way to achieve this?
I'm using Apple Mail v7.3 on an iMac running OSX v10.9.5.
Thanks in anticipation!

If you are asking about addresses that are not in your Address Book, they are listed in Windows > Previous Recipients.

Safari's "Email Website" option poses problems when viewed in Apple Mail

With the new Safari came a great set of new features. One of them is the "Email Website" option under the "Share" button. This embeds the website in an email and allows you to send it to anybody. I've received a couple of these. They look great. However there's one big issue. There is no way to then open the original page in Safari. The links on the page are clickable, so you can open some new page, however unless you knew where on the website the page you were emailed is located, you might spend half an hour looking for it.
To make this feature fully functional, there should be an option in Apple Mail to "Open webpage in browser", which would open a link to the original website. Meaning that you still get an embedded website in an HTML email, however there's an option that will open the original URL (which could be anything like http://www.mywebsite.com/store/gifts.html).
Unless this is already implemented and I don't know how to enable it?

Ok, so even thought no one has answered, it appears that once I move mail to the "On My Mac" mailboxes, they no longer exist on the server (though they can be moved back there if desired). Which means that I'm fine if I migrate my hosting to a new server, and redownload them, because the mail in "On My Mac" will be untouched. The only thing I don't know about is the "Sent" mail, but I believe those also exist on the server, and therefore if I migrate them then the link relationships are maintained (no idea about the mail that is "On My Mac" that has links to "Sent" mail in the server, but I guess that isn't so important).
As for keeping a completely syncronizable Mail application - the only way it appears I'd be able to do that is to forgo "On My Mac" entirely, and keep *all* mail on the server. If I want to move mail into different folders, those folders would have to be Server folders created for that account, and hosted by that hosting company. This actually doesn't seem like such a bad move, especially as we get further and further away from having only one device that we use to process Mail.
Are there any disadvantages to *not* using the local "On My Mac" folders? Are there any major advantages to using them?

Using internal pdf links when viewing document online

Hello
I created a pdf document with internal links to different parts of the document. However, when I published it in Acrobat.com to share it, the links are no longer operational. Is there a way to keep the links operational when being viewed online? (Once you download them they're usable again)
Thanks, Daniel

Hi dalvo2002,
I'm sorry, but links aren't rendered in the file previews that you see on Acrobat.com. The links aren't removed from the file (as you've discovered), they just aren't included in the preview.
Best,
Sara

How to call PDF file in Web Dynpro Appl?

Hi Gobinath,
1. Create a value attribute of type byte called pdfSource.
2. Insert an UI element called Interactive Form in your layout
3. Set the source property of this Interactive From UI element to the context pdfSource.
4. Insert a button which would open your pdf file.
public void onActionsubmit(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
    //@@begin onActionsubmit(ServerEvent)
   IPrivate<viewname>.IContextElement contextElement = wdContext.currentContextElement();

Although all photos in my libraries are rotated to the correct orientation, random pictures still show up in the wrong position when viewed on Apple TV. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your comments
Several of our iPhone users in the UK reported the problem this morning, and as the Apple fan in the office I've got the job of resolving the issue
The original Excel was an old .xls file, but I have saved it as a .xlsx and the problem still appears
I haven't spoken with our developer yet, but I assume he has created the Excel file using some programming tools rather that directly using Excel
In the meantime I have created a simply spreadsheet with 8 cells contain values
In the first 4 cells, I have formatted them using Currency, and have used the currencies USD, DEM, GBP and CHF
In the remaining cells I have formatted them using the Accounting option, using the same currencies
When I review the spreadsheet on the iPhone (or iPad), the first 4 remain the same yet the last four all show the £ symbol
I have now changed the Region Format of the iPhone to United States, and when viewing on the iPhone the bottom 4 values are now all showing the $ sign!
If I had created the spreadsheet I would have put the Currency code in a seperate cell and purely used a numeric format for the number, and there would be no issue. That might be the only solution
Yes, the Director has the full MS Excel app on his Windows 8 device, but I can't expect all of our clients to go and do the same, in business many of them will have the iPhone
We may have to change the way we produce the report because of Apple's failings here, and it's not the first time that we have had to change something because Apple devices can't display them properly
In business, submitting a potential job contract only for the recipient to get the wrong idea of the costs is a major concern

Emails always are suck in outbox when sent through Apple mail

Emails always are suck in outbox when sent through Apple mail. How should I deal with it ? Many thanks!

As mentioned, Outlook is not email standards compliant. It probably never will be based on Microsoft's history. However, I think there are various issues involved in the problems people have. I often send emails from home to my Outlook account at work. I have never experienced any of the problems that I've seen posted anywhere regarding Mail and Outlook.
My conclusion is that there are issues with certain Exchange Server configurations and/or issues with your own ISP mail server causing the issues.
I do have my system set up to Always send windows friendly attachments (from what I've read, this really is 'send Outlook friendly attachments'), and always put attachments at the end. Prior to the 'always put attachments at the end,' I wasn't having any issues, either. However, I read that that setting helped with other email clients, so I use it.
The obvious question is, "well, how is your exchange server configured." I would love to provide the answer to that question; however, I work for a DoD organization, so actually tracking down the person that knows the answer to that question will take somewhere between five years and never. With my 20+ years experience with the DoD, I'm leaning towards the never end of the spectrum. The other half of the equation is, "I'm using cox as my ISP."

How do I not automatically download photos in Apple Mail?

How do I not autmatically download photos when I open Apple Mail. I lve on a boat and internet by the satellite gets expensive. I would like to know how to turn off automatic photo downloads.

Check with your email provider. Blocking images is a function they usually can provide.

I never send anything from there but I have the same email in yahoo but delete them and they still show up in apple mail from day one how do I get rid of these once and for all.Please help
<Edited by Host>

I am soooooooooooo confused now. Ok, if you are having problems with Yahoo Mail and Gmail but you do not use Apple's Mail you need to do the following:
1 - Post in Yahoo's Mail forums and/or contact their tech support.
2 - Post in Gmails forums and/or contact their tech support.
Neither of the above are Apple's products.

In Apple Mail, how can I maintaining Mailbox links when migrating hosting?

First, I apologize if this question has already been asked and answered. If so, please kindly point me to the appropriate discussion.
I'm in the process of changing hosting for one of my (several) websites and email addresses. I have been using Apple Mail succesfully with the site email using IMAP for several years, and have many thousands of messages, many of which that have been moved into different folders in Mac Mail locally (not the IMAP folders). What I'd like to know is if it's possible to maintain all of these links during and after I migrate my website and all server mail to a new hosting company. I'm very paranoid that all of my links (to mail in those boxes, and relationships to sent mail) will be lost, and that all that mail will simply redownload to the primary Inbox.
On a separate note, I'd also like to know if, once the above issue has been addressed and resolved, it's possible to copy my entire Mail application to another computer so that I can keep a mirror copy of two mail applications fucntioning like an exchange server. Meaning, if I download one piece of mail on one computer, it will automatically be downloaded and marked as read on the other *and* if that mail is moved to a local Mail folder, if it will be moved on the other computer in the other Mail application. Basically so that all mail and mail relationships stay in sync across multiple machines.
Hope this question makes sense. I'm happy to elaborate, and am appreciative of any help.

Ok, so even thought no one has answered, it appears that once I move mail to the "On My Mac" mailboxes, they no longer exist on the server (though they can be moved back there if desired). Which means that I'm fine if I migrate my hosting to a new server, and redownload them, because the mail in "On My Mac" will be untouched.

Sapscript output(Spool) to PDF problem when viewed

We have a number of documents which are output in Russian using the Cyrillic courier font within our Uincode SAP system. They look fine on the spool when viewed, print okay, and all look fine when converted to a PDF file (using RSTXPDFT4) and viewed via Adobe PDF viewer (vers 9.1.20), except one form, the invoice, which will not display properly in Adobe, showing square blocks with crosses through them when viewed. The strange thing is that when this same PDF is viewed via Sumatra (Open source PDF viewer) it looks perfect, but will not display via the Adobe PDF viewer, even though all the other delivery/dispatch docuemnts (all Sapscript) print and view fine via the Adobe PDF viewer.
I guess I could suggest that we just use Sumatra from now on, but that is not really the answer when you have a multinational company which has Adobe already installed on all hardware as default.
Has anyone come across this problem before. I was wondering if there could be anything in Sapscript that might have caused this as this is a copy of SAP standard Russian Invoice Sapscript (J_3RVINVOICE)?
I'm going to check OSS to see if there's a fault with the PDF convertion program (RSTXPDFT4) but I would like to hear from anyone that may have encountered the same problem.
Regards
Gary

Hi Gary
How the issue is resolved, please let me know. Since i am also facing same issue.

[Visio 2013] Data graphics linked to SQL view, drops link when view recreated

Hi,
I have a SQL database view that pulls information from a SQL table and gives a status update. This runs each night and it is basically a progress indicator of to where in a step a sequential data load is up
to. So the view looks like this:
Task | Task 1 | Task 2 | Task 3 | Task 4 | Task 5
Done
Started
Started
NULL
NULL
These tasks do not always finish in sequence and we have a Visio diagram with a shape linked to each step as a green/red status flag. So I drew the diagram on Friday and it was all working fine. Today I've
dialled in and checked it and found the following:
The view seems to truncate as there were only two rows in it instead of five but it breaks the links in Visio then. Anyone have any suggestions how to maintain links for this?

What was the unique id using which data was linked to the shapes? Was it actually unique?
After data refresh if Visio sees more than 1 rows for a same unique identifier or it doesn't find the row for some identifier then in both the cases shapes will get unlinked and the "Refresh Conflicts" pane is shown to the user to resolve the conflicts.
Did you notice this pane? Having unique ids for all the rows should solve this problem.

Bad navigation bar buttons/links when viewing in browser

i've created my own nav bar, but when i view it online, the buttons/links are out of line
i.e. the page you view has the buttons below or above the horizontal of all the other buttons.
this looks scruffy!
everything is kosher when viewed in iWeb. none of the buttons overlap. i'm using standard web fonts (helvetica, courier).
i'm scratching my head wondering what's gone wrong.

here's one:
www.drewpower.com
i realised, after posting, that the offending button is the page title button you are on.
e.g. when you're on 'links', the 'links' button is duff.
my solution? well as they're redundant, i took em out.
but any feedback would be helpful.
ta!
