How to remove the automatically recognized hyperlinks in PDF after converting from Word?

Hi everyone!
When converting Word to PDF, texts with "http", "www", or email addresses with "@" are automatically hyperlinked.
The way Adobe Acrobat recognizes URLs is not by the text's underlying hyperlinks rather it is by the actual characters in the text. If the text contains "http" or "www" it recognizes it as a URL address, if it contains "@", it recognizes it as an email address.
I am aware that you could choose to disable the hyperlinks by going to Edit - Preferences - General - untick Create links from URLs. However, other users who have this ticked will still be able to click on the hyperlinks.
In Word, you can specify whether to add a hyperlink or not, or to direct the hyperlink to a different path. But in Adobe Acrobat, it automatically recognizes the hyperlink by its text. I know it is possible to manually add a hyperlink to a PDF, but is it possible to remove the automatically recognized hyperlinks?
Is there also some sort of ADM administrative template for this purpose?
Thanks.
.m.u.r.d.o.c.h.

I was thinking it could be possible with a document-level script that
removes all links, but then I saw that the link Acrobat adds are not real
link objects, so a script can't remove them. Therefore I think the answer is
no, you can't do it. The only way might be to use shorter addresses in order
to confuse Acrobat into thinking they're just plain text. For example, use "
google.com" instead of "http://www.google.com/". In my tests it remained as
plain text.

How do I activate hyperlinks in PDF files converted from WORD

I have created a flyer in Word and converted it to PDF with the Adobe PDF Pack. The hyperlink to a URL in the doc is not active. The hyperlink to an email address is. What do I need to do to activate the URL hyperlink?
Thanks

Hi cjsewmour01,
There's a preference in Reader and Acrobat to "Create Links from URLs." It sounds like that preference is enabled, or the email address wouldn't be hyperlinked. That particular preference looks for link text (http, www, mailto: and so on) in the PDF and then creates hyperlinks for that text. It sounds like Acrobat isn't recognizing the link text--is that particular link formatted correctly?
Best,
Sara

How to remove the automatically generated text fields from the InfoSet

I followed the procedure by SAP help.
Automatically generated text fields are marked with a 'T' on the icon in the InfoSet. You can remove the automatically generated text fields from the InfoSet in the initial screen of the InfoSet maintenance under Further Functions -> Delete Text Fields. Cancel the DataSource creation on the next screen and delete the text fields in the InfoSet maintenance transaction.
I know that there is an option "No automatic text recognition" when I create a new InfoSet, however, I couldn't find out how to change an existed InfoSet. I checked menu Goto->Global Properties, but that option is disabled. Is there a way to remove text fields from an existed InfoSet?

Hi,
In the initial screen (when you enter transaction code SQ02) type your infoset name and goto menu: Infoset -> More functions -> Delete text fields. this will delete all text fields.
I hope this helps to resolve the issue.

How do I get PRO to not include codes when converting from Word?

Thanks Bill for your reply.
I am using Acrobat XI, just downloaded it and Word 2003. There are no punctuations on my form, I just hit return to go to the next lines.
I put in a little square check box and that is also causing issues. I checked to make sure the field codes are off on the original word doc.
I did try from the printer to save and adobe and I get the same codes. Other people that I work with are able to get my document to save correctly in acrobat with the same versions of word and XI.
It has to be some small setting on my computer.

How to remove the automatic option of saving in iCloud?

Is there a way to change the automatic option of saving to iCloud when saving new documents in most of the applications in osx lion? Example: launch pages. Immediately a screen pops up that shows finder or the option to create new doc. (I also dislike this feature; would love to go back to launching pages and a blank page coming up or nothing happening at all, leaving me the option to do whatever I want rather than be told wha tthe options are). Create new doc. Then try to save. Then it tries to automatically save to iCloud. After having to click on a few places, I get where I want I be. Unneeded work. How can I change options, to go back to how things used to be?
Thanks

To prevent saving in iCloud, go to System Preference/iCloud and uncheck the Documents & Data box. Now if you start any OS X app like TextEdit, it won't show that iCloud Dialog.

How do I make the images look clear in PDF when converted from MS Word?

Hi
When I convert an MS Word-2010 file (which contains images also) to PDF through Acrobat X Pro, some images which are of bigger size do not look very clear. Is there any workaround for this problem? Please reply. It's quite urgent.
Thanks

In my experience (not necessarily the best), I find it best to rescale image copies with a graphics package before importing into WORD or whatever. Resize and then set the resolution to about 600 dpi before you import. The issue of using the clipboard appears to be an issue with WORD 2007 and such. I clipped a 300 dpi image into my technical word processor and then back to a graphic editor and all was preserved. I did the same with WORD 2007 and everything got messed up and the resultant image looked terrible. In fact, in WORD I got the same result if I imported the picture or clipped it from my graphics package. So it appears there are some strange issues with WORD itself.
I am not trying to make any claims here, but just making an observation. The original image was at 300dpi. WORD also changed the 8-bit B&W photo to a 24-bit photo and reduced the number of pixels from 774 per width to 252 per width about a factor of 3 reduction in pixel resolution when clipped. When I expanded the image size in WORD, then the clip size increased also. When I do the same expansion of the image size in my word processor and then clip back to IrfanView, the original image is retained. My only conclusion is that OFFICE 2007 plays around with graphics and it does not seem to make any difference if you clip the image into WORD or import it, WORD still messes around with it. My guess this is just a general MS thing.
Some folks a year or 2 ago got me to looking at nice sunsets in PPT. There were all sorts of issues with creating the PDF (AA8) from the PPT to get a reasonable result. The image obtained from the MS converter seemed to keep the picture nice. The images obtained from PDF Maker and printing to the Adobe PDF printer gave slightly different results and tended to break the image into smaller parts that often left little lines in the picture if you zoomed in. Folks were blaming this on Acrobat and yet using the same version of Acrobat with OFFICE 2003 the sunset came out great.
This post is a bit jumbled, but the jist is that a lot of the graphics issues with WORD files seem to go back to WORD itself and possibly with hooks MS put into OFFICE (OK, no proof on that and probably impossible to prove) to mess up Acrobat conversions. It would be interesting to see if the same result for the PDF is obtained from other converters, or if it is just something that OFFICE 2007 does "nicely" for Acrobat.
Sorry for going off the deep end, but I just have a major annoyance with OFFICE starting with 2007, particularly for things like this. They couldn't get equations right either, just one more thing that they messed up. As far as I am concerned, a lot of the issues stem from MS and not Acrobat.
Just for the heck of it, I ran the PPT picture through Open Office and used both the PDF export and the print to the Adobe PDF printer. Both retained the full image. However, when clipping from OOP to Irfanview, the resolution was 96dpi. The result seemed to be dependent on the zoom. So there are definitely some issues with copy and paste, at least with how some packages handle it.

Why are hyperlinks no longer working in PDF, when converted from Word?

I have Acrobat Professional 11 and have recently upgraded my PC with a new operating system (Windows 8). I can't remember how to find out what version of Word I now have, but it should be a fairly recent version, given its new. Since the upgrade, when converting Word documents to PDF using the "Create Form" function in Adobe Pro 11, only full hyperlinks (with the @ symbol) are working in PDF, not other hyperlinks that we've renamed. Under the old operating system, ALL hyperlinks used to transfer & work when converted ... am I missing a checkbox somewhere?? HELP please, I have loads of word documents to convert and it's very time-consuming to have to do weblinks manually!!

First off, Word should show you the version on a splash screen when you launch it.
Also, what happens to the links if you just open the document in Word and save it as a PDF?

Create hyperlinks in PDF file converted from Indesign

OK - i hope you can help me. I created a file on Indesign which I then converted to PDF. Customer wants words in the document Click Here to link to other PDF files.
I went to:
Tools>Content>Add or Edit Interactive Object> Link
I tried clicking on Link after highlighting the words Click On. Nothing appeared to happen and there was no way/place that I could see to enter the PDF file name.

Once you have the Link tool active you draw the link annotation "box" over the desired text string using the mouse cursor. You follow the dialog(s) to establish what Action you desire the link to perform.
You may want to review Link related information in Acrobat's LiveDocs online Help.

Hyperlinks in a PDF document converted from Word 2003

I have a large document for our state's mathematics vocabulary. It has internal hyperlinks to help someone navigate the document. I created it in Word 2003 and converted it to PDF using the tool in the menu bar. When finished, the PDF document has some working hyperlinks near the beginning (about a third of them), but most of the links (in the last two-thirds) do not work. I have also tried doing the conversion from Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 (8.1.4), but I get the same results. Can someone help me solve this problem so the PDF document has all working links? Thanks.

Yes, you can create a script in Acrobat that loops through the links and adjusts the link's "rect" property to suit your needs. You'll want to consult the Acrobat JavaScript Reference, and look at the doc.getLinks method in particular: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.479.html
along with the Link object properties: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.802.html
Post again if you get stuck.
I don't know what control you have over this on the InDesign side of things. You may want to ask in one of the InDesign forums if you haven't already.

After 7.1, how do I remove the automatic shadow added to wall paper?

I took a screen shot on my phone, and want to use it as a wallpaper, like so:
But iPhone adds a shadow gradient automatically so date/time can show. And it looks awful.
How to remove this gradient? This only happened after I updated to 7.1
I already turned on reduce motion and got rid of parallax. The issue is beyond that.

is it possible please give me step by step procedure for how to remove the '#' Symbols in reporing layout.
this is very urgent please help to me on this issue.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Guna,
To achieve this issue, we need to replace the value of #, we need to change the description while retrieving the data from tables. So we need to write some ABAP code in SE38. Go to RSA1 transaction and go to Info objects tab. Then go to context menu for cProject Key Figures as shown below. Click on the Object Overview to get the overview of all the info objects. Here you can see the field names which are used to know the table names.
In SE11, type the table name in Database Table field. Now press F4, then you will get the next screen to select one of the P/Q/S/T tables.
Now click on the button rounded in the below screen to view the data in the table.
Now click the execute button or press F8 to view the records.
Now go to Tcode: SE38. Create a source code and give some program name for that source code. To write code, you need access key. Contact your BASIS for this.
Now write the below code for that particular table in which you want to change the value # to description Blank. In the below source code, we are updating particular table, setting the field as Blank where it is null or no value. Here the field will automatically get updated to # if there is no value or null.
update /BIC/PXXXXX set /BIC/ZXXXX = 'Blank' where /BIC/ZXXXXX is null or /BIC/ZXXXX = ''.
if sy-subrc eq 0.
write 'successful'.
commit work.
else.
write 'unsuccessful'.
endif.
OR
If this # is because of the missing master data than,
right click that IO -> maintain master
you will see first row as a blank.
whatever value you maintain in this row that will come in the report for all Not assigned # values of the master data in the report.
maintain it according to your requirement, save and activate the master data
Hope this helps u...
