How to make Clickable Phone Numbers in PDFs

Hello,
I am creating Word Documents and converting them to PDFs. We put contact information in them such as names, phone numbers, email address.
I have already got email address to work, with the hyperlinks and that converts fine to PDFs, but I am having problem with phone numbers.
I have gone to hte hyperline and in the address typed tel:+0000000000 (of course switching out numbers), but it always attaches to a document path.  When I try to click on it in a PDF, nothing happens, but it shows clickable.  Mainly want this for people with smart phones to dial the number.
The whole concept works in Word on a smart phone, but we lose design and pages.  That is why converting to PDFs.
Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

The only similar thing I've encountered are hyperlinks on top of a phone number that launch Skype and attempt to call that number. In fact, I've even developed a script that automatically converts plain phone-numbers in a PDF to such links, but you have to have Acrobat to run it...

  • How do I highlight phone numbers, in documents such as .pdf or pages or numbers, so I can call that number simply by touching that number?

    I save a document into my iPhone 6's pdf reader, such as a pages, word, excel doc   Sometimes the phone numbers are highlighted, so that I can call the number just by touching that number.  Other times the phone numbers are not "live."  How do I make the phone numbers work?

    If I go to my notes app ( not a note in a contact) and I add a phone number and tap done the number becomes live.  However if I then copy the live number from the notes app and try and paste it into the notes field in a contact it is no longer live.  Weird huh

  • HT1349 just got a new iphone. How do you transfer phone numbers from an old iphone to a new one

    PLug your 3gs into iTunes, in the left panel right click on your iPhone and create a backup. After the back up is complete plug your 4s into iTunes, right click on it in the left panel and select restore from backup, select the backup file from your 3gs and that should load everything from your 3gs to your new iphone

  • How to make the phone's battery last longer ?

    Hi everyone,
    i am wondering if there is any difference when the battery is fully desharged thus the phone swithes off , and then you plug it into the power outlet to be charged.
    or if it is not fully decharged, and it has some one or two battery bars on the upper right corner of the display, and you set it to be charged, is there any signifficant difference between these two states ?
    is there any official or technical advice on "How to make the phone's battery last longer " ??
    thanks in advance.

    It depends on the battery.
    Charging the battery when there is some power in it is especially bad for NiMH batteries. The loss of power is called "memory effect" - battery "remembers" that it does not get fully utilized and over time starts supplying less power.
    But new Nokias come with Li-Ion or Li-Polymer and the effect on these being charged when there is still power in them is negligible. Especially for the Li-Polymer ones.
    See here about batteries and "memory effect":

  • I don´t know how to make a phone call whit my ipad...and how to sent a message? is it possible?

    i don´t know how to make a phone call whit my ipad...and how to senSeleneGMt a message? What do i need? or is it impossible?

    You can't; not natively, anyway, since the iPad is not a phone. If you want to make a call, you'll need to use some third-party Voice-Over-IP service such as Skype.
    I'm not sure what you're asking when you ask about sending a message. If you mean a text message, you can either use iMessage, which can send messages to other users also running iMessage, or you can look in the iTunes Store for SMS apps, a few of which are available. They use separate services to actually send the message and so require an Internet connection, either WiFi or 3G.

  • How to remove duplicate phone numbers under iMessage settings?

    I've been using iMessage for a while now and a lot of my friends have brought to my attention that every iMessage I sent showed it came from my email rather than my phone number. So I signed out of iMessage and tried logging back in using my phone number and it would not work, saying the activation did not go through. So I tried again and again throughout the day and it finally worked eventually. The problem is I get a duplicate (lots of it) of my phone numbers, I'm guessing from my countless attempts at signing in. How do I go about removing all the duplicates that are grayed out? Also why do the last three have tick marks next to them? How do I make it so that only one of them is tickmarked and delete the rest of the duplicates. I've provided screenshots below.
    Also, "waiting for activation..." has been shown under the settings for almost the whole day. How long does this take?

    I've tried signing out and back in again. It doesn't do anything. I still get the unnecesarily long list of duplicate phone numbers and have 2 or 3 of them randomly tick marked. I've tried this multiple times, it doesn't get rid of them at all. As far as I'm concerned, my friends do receive my iMessage from my number rather than my email. I just find it a nuisance to have such a long list of my phone number 25 times over. I don't think it affects anything though, but any way to get rid of them would be great.
    Also, it's been 3 days and it still says "waiting for activation" on my iMessage and Facetime settings. How long does this take? As far as I know, my friends have told me iMessaging with me is flawless but I'm confused as to why it's still trying to activate.

  • Phone numbers in PDF files

    Is there a way to
    make phone numbers live in a pdf file that is viewed on the iphone or other
    smart phones so that if the user clicks on them they dial that phone number.?
    Chris

    You're referring to the Data Detectors feature in Apple's iOS operating system for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. (Whether there is such a feature for the Android operating system, I have no idea.)
    It is not an industry standard like URLs (Universal Resource Locators) so there's no standard way of calling them out.
    What you want is to make a feature request for Apple to recognize the Data Detectors in a PDF file, which I don't believe it currently does. I think you might ask on the Apple Forums, and not here.

  • How does one format "phone numbers" using "Numbers"?

    Want all phone numbers to format as (555) 555 5555
    How is this done?

    Hi Thomas,
    The old Numbers will be on your computer unless you deleted it. Look in a folder called iWork '09 inside your Applications folder. Launch Numbers 2 (Numbers '09) and do what you used to do to create a Custom Cell Format. For example, you might want a nine-digit phone number to appear as (123) 456 789.
    Save that document. To protect it from Numbers 3.0, make a copy of that document with a different name. Ensure that both your original Phone Number documents are closed (to protect them from that bully Numbers 3.0). Then Open the copy in Numbers 3.0. The custom format will be listed in Format Inspector > Cell > Data Format
    Type a nine-digit number into any cell and format the cell with Format Inspector > Cell > Data Format > Phone Numbers.
    Note: copying a cell with Custom Format in Numbers 2 and then pasting into Numbers 3 does not work. The pasted cell ends up as Text, and the Custom Format is not added to the Data Format list.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • How to make the Internal numbering as Alpha-Numeric

    Hi,
    In the Document Info Record, the Internal numbering is always numeric.
    How to make it Alpha-Numeric?
    Regards,
    Shashi

    Dear Shashidhar,
    Number assignment is derived from Document Type of the DIR. You can customise the Document type settings (DC10) to make the number range as External or Mixed.
    Modify the settings in "Number Assgmt" tab as 2 for only external number assignement and 3 for mixed number assignment.
    Hope this solves your question.

  • How to make only part of a PDF document editable?

    I'm looking to see if there is a way to make only part of a PDF document editable. My problem is, I have pieces of collateral that some of our channel partners need to be able to add their logo to and then edit the contact information on them, but we don't want them to be able to change any of the main copy on these documents. The only thing I've been able to come up with as a solution is to create outlines of the text that I don't want editable, but I need the copy to be able to be read by computer systems for disability purposes. Does anyone have any ideas on something I could do for this? Or has anyone dealt with anything like this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi vward26,
    You can use Acrobat to make only part of a PDF document editable.

  • How to make folders in numbers

    how do you make folders in Numbers for templates and spreadsheets.

    This sounds like an iOS (iPad/iPhone) question. If so please let us know, using the "report post" can be used to have it moved to the iOS forums.
    In iOS, you use the same method as you do in the main operating system. From your spreadsheet list, Tap and hold till they wiggle, then move one on top of another.
