Hyperlinks from InDesign to Acrobat

I am using CS3 programs on a PC on Windows XP
I'm trying to create hyperlinks in InDesign. When I export the document to a pdf, I clicked "include interactive elements." However, in Acrobat, it only makes the email addresses or web addresses active. The regular sentences and images that I linked are not active. Any suggestions? Thank you.

ah, I didn't notice the hyperlinks box as I was focusing on "interactive elements." Thanks!

  • How do I match the color from indesign to acrobat

    I am printing from indesign to adobe acrobat pro 9 and the colors do not match. I looked up the preferences, color management and its said, that the colors are unsynchronized, to synchronize, select suite color settings in bridge. I looked up in bridge and it's said, that the creative applications are synchronized. Now I have no clue what to do. Can anyone help?
    I appreciate, thanks.

  • Formatting of text fields when exporting from InDesign to Acrobat Pro

    How does one preserve the formatting  of a text field when exporting from InDesign CS6 to Acrobat Pro? It loses both the font and the alignment formatting in the PDF.

  • "transparent" bounding boxes appear when printing from InDesign and Acrobat

    Hi. I have encountered a problem with both CS4 and CS5 InDesign and Acrobat 9.0. Mac OS 10.5.8. When I print (artwork flattened before I create PDF with standard "Press Quality" from InDesign or Adobe Illustrator default from Illustrator) lighter areas that are rectangular shaped will appear on the color print. We use a rip and this appears to happen randomly. I have spent considerable time troubleshooting this...I have used every work around I can think of—to no avail.
    1. What is this?
    2. Why is this happening?
    3. Is there technical information out there to help me get rid of it?
    Thanks so much!

    Solid areas of lighter color. I am not sure if our rip can handle live transparency. It is a Fiery 8e Release 2. I tried a solution from a previous post that suggested de-selecting the Pantone match option when I print and that did work.
    The PDF's are high res. It has even happened on some PDF's that were created through Distiller as high res. I have seen this at the print shop I work at and also at the college where I teach design.
    Thanks so much for your quick response.

  • Export cross-references and hyperlinks from InDesign to Word?

    Hi,
    I am wondering if it is possible to export text from InDesign (CS5) to Word (2010) keeping all cross-references active?
    This would be really nice if so as we do a lot of translations for literature and need to keep moving back and forth with editors using Word.
    If anyone has any information on this, please let me know!
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    Thank you for the suggestion, but our company is world-wide and each subsidiary deals with different staff and editors (who only some use Adobe software, but all use Office). I will pass along the info though.
    This would be a good Feature Request for a future release of InDesign!
    Thanks again.

  • Removing hyperlinks from InDesign when exporting to PDF

    I have an InDesign file with no hyperlinks set up that contains text which are URLs (for example, it includes the text www.google.com but NOT a hyperlink to that URL). I need the file to be set up that way because I am not allowed to publish PDFs that contain active links. Every time I export the InDesign file to a PDF the hyperlinks become active in the PDF. This happens whether or not the "Include...  Hyperlinks" box is checked. The Hyperlinks window is empty. Any advice on how to keep this from happening or how to remove the links from the PDF?
    Thanks!
    Laura

    Did you post this yesterday in another thread? The answer hasn't changed.
    Reader and Acrobat, by default, in newer versions scan text for text strings look like URLs and automatically will set them to be links to the address that is found (valid or otherwise). This is not behavior that you can control in ID. It can be turned off in the Acrobat prefs by the user, but you can't force them to do it.

  • Working with layers from InDesign to Acrobat

    Hi, I'm currently creating a fairly large pdf document for a client which has pop-up effect windows in Acrobat. The artwork is created in InDesign and the file is exported as an interactive pdf with layers. In Acrobat I then make these 'pop-ups' visible then invisible when hovered over/moved away from respectively.  I was at the finished stage, all interactive elements that couldn't be set in InDesign had been meticulously added in Acrobat. Twice now, however, my client has made a small change to one of the pages that has several of these layer effects on it and each time I replace the page in Acrobat I have to re-do all the interactive parts. My question is: Is there a way you can replace a page in Acrobat and retain the layer interactivity that existed on the original, outgoing page? It seems impossible as whether I delete the page first and insert the new one in its place, or alternatively do a straightforward 'replace', the outgoing page's layers are deleted with the page and the incoming page's layers come in - but with none of the interactivity. I have to set it all up again. Bear in mind these are interactive events that can only be set up in Acrobat, not in InDesign, and I suspect that's where the problem lies. The new completely wipes out the old.  Does anyone have any advice on a work-around for this - or should I just go and open the wine early, take a deep breath and re-do all the interactivity for the third time?  Many thanks for your time, whether the news is good or bad

    If you need the black text to wind up on a separate printing plate from the black in the 4-color images, you will need to create a spot black, and set all your text (and table rules that will change) into that spot black.
    I use this method to keep the pricing in my catalog separate, so I can print one version with prices, and one without.

  • Acrobat (10.1.3) crashes when exporting a pdf from InDesign (7.5.2)

    So every once and a while I export a file to pdf from InDesign and Acrobat crashes.  Sometimes it doesn't crash until I reduce file size.  It always happens when it is actually saving the file.  Usually I am overwriting a file with a newer version but not always and either way I get a crash.  I copied my crash report below.  Please help.  This reduces my productivity greatly.
    http://pastebin.com/DNpKCNXA

    I'm going to leave this open here in case anyone has some ideas, but since this is an Acrobat crash (it looks like it might have something to do with security), you should cross post in the Acrobat forum.

  • Won't print from InDesign/Acrobat CS3

    I have the strangest situation with an install of CS3 Standard edition on a 10.4.9 iMac C2D and printing from InDesign and Acrobat.
    I installed this last week on 3 iMac's. One older G5 iSigh iMac, and 2 C2D iMac's. Everything went fine, untill on one of the two Core 2 Duo machines I wanted to print. (Every machine has their own Canon IP 4200 attached to it). The printjob is handed of to the system, and after that the progress bar in Printmonitor just keeps on scrolling. Nothing happens.
    Printing from PhotoshopCS3/IllustratorCS3 and even Bridge is not a problem, and printing from Indesign CS2 is also not a problem.
    What I have done: reset PRAM, reset PMU, repair permissions, deinstall and reinstall printer, reset printersystem and reinstall, clean fontcaches, tested fonts, made simple documents with just a colored rectange, printing using the Adobe PDF printer and printing from Acrobat, nothing works. Connected and installed a completely different printer (HP Deskjet 7200) and that doesn't work either. The only thing that DOES work is printing to a shared printer on another Mac.
    Before I go for an Archive and Install, anybody else have any bright ideas? Thanx for thinking with me...

  • Auto-generated links exported from InDesign do not work in tablet apps

    Hyperlinks automatically detected and exported from InDesign CS6 8.0.1 as a PDF work fine on the desktop version of Acrobat Reader. However, on the iPad version of Adobe Reader as well as iBooks and GoodReader, these links are completely ignored, meaning they are just text.
    On the other hand, if I was to manually set the hyperlink in InDesign or Acrobat, the link works fine.
    It would be extremely tedious and time consuming to manually reset hundreds of hyperlinks in my documents since InDesign use to handle this correctly.
    Is this a bug? If so, it's pretty serious and should be Adobe's priority to fix since millions of people read documents on tablet devices.

    No, it's a Feature of Acrobat and reader that they attempt to create links from anything that "looks like" a URL. Other readers lack the feature.
    It's not good practice to depend on this in any case as it's hardly foolproof even in Acrobat. Links that break across lines, for example, will not be properly recognized.

  • InDesign and Acrobat Won't Print

    15" MacBook Pro running 10.4.11 --- CS3
    I cannot print from InDesign or Acrobat. I can print from the other CS3 suite and from other programs. I have reinstalled both programs. I have tried printing to different printers via usb and wireless. I have reinstalled both printer drivers.  I have purchased a new battery. I have never installed additional plugins.
    Both printers will print test pages. Please post suggestions or knowledge.

    Wait...you don't have enough harddrive space to do a full install? That could be the answer to your problems right there.

  • I need to create a PDF from InDesign that people can edit in Reader or Acrobat

    I need to create a PDF from InDesign that people can edit (for example, change a name from "John" to "Johnny") from either Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat. I have already looked at forms, but they do not keep your font colors, faces, and sizes and just make everything that is selected as a text form Black, 12pt, Times New Roman.
    Can anyone here help me?

    Vincent,
    If you use Acrobat pro, generate your .pdf file and then save it as (french version):
    ... so that anyone using Acrobat Reader (or Pro, of course) can modify the .pdf file (with limitations), add comments, ...
    If you want to try to "protect" your .pdf file, you can try with this (in the "Préférences" menu (french version)):

  • Acrobat 9 Pro - Batch Create Multiple Files from InDesign CS5 files

    When attempting to batch create PDFs from Indesign CS5 files using Acrobat Pro 9's File>Create PDF>Batch Create Multiple Files ... option the operation fails with the error 'Could not find the application that created this file: [path to file] Please select a file created by an application that resides on your computer.' as shown in the screenshot below:

  • Cannot overwrite PDF when exporting to Acrobat from InDesign CS6

    When exporting to Acrobat Pro X from InDesign CS6, there are times when I want to overwrite an exising file but I get an error msg that the file is in use (it is not--this even happens when I have closed the file and quit Acrobat) or i don't have permission. In the Info panel at the Finder, i see that "myusername (ME)" does have permission to read and write this file. As a test, I also changed the permissions for Admin and Everyone to Read & Write, but that did not help. I've checked Preferences in both InDesign and Acrobat Pro anc can't find a relevant setting.
    To save the file with the same filename as the pre-exisitng PDF, I have to close the pre-exisitng PDF and move it to the trash.
    I have no problem overwriting a PDF document from Acrobat. This only happens when I am exporting from ID.
    I am on a Mac running the latest version of OSX.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Carol Gunn

    Make sure that the PDF you are trying to overwrite is not selected in your finder. I've found that if it's selected in the finder then the preview tricks Indesign into thinking the file is busy

  • PDF Forms from InDesign, Acrobat for iPad

    I have downloaded (& thrown away) a number of PDF apps, adobe reader is one and pretty good yet it still does not handle filling in the form fields created in InDesign &/or Acrobat Pro very well. My document works great on the computer and even 95% works on the Adobe Reader app on my iPad but when I go to email the filled out form from the iPad app, most of the fields end up blank or blacked out. Am I using the wrong PDF app or is there something else I need to do in InDesign or Acrobat before sending to my iPad to fill out the form? PDF Expert looks promising but I want some advice before I spend $10 for something that may not work.
    Any help would be great,
    Thank you

    Your conclusions are basically correct. There's nothing you can do except create the best PDF editor on an iPad.
