Hyperlinks in PDFs

We use Acrobat Pro 10 / LiveCycle Desginer to create our fill-able forms to then publish on our website.  Our users can click the form on our webpage, the PDF opens in Chrome just fine and they can fill in the fields.  But when a user trys to click on the Hyperlinks, the Hand doesn't turn into the Finger allowing you to click the link and go to the webpage.  When looking at the properties of this PDF, I can see there are restrictions.  I only want to allow my customers to click on the Hyperlinks.  Keep in mind, they are using Chrome with default Chrome PDF Viewer.  Also, many of our internal users do not use Adobe to view/edit PDFs.  Their default PDF viewer if eCopy or PowerPDF, so when they open this form in those applications, the Hyperlinks do not work either.  The hyperlinks only work if I open with Adobe.
Also, I saw a security restriction in the document properties where is says can only be opened with Acrobat.
Is there way to modify this?

Hi;
This forum is for Adobe Fill & Sign, your question would be best answered in one of the following forums:
PDF Forms
LiveCycle Designer
Thanks,

Once user click on that hyperlink it should ask me to "Check-Out & Open' pdf file directly from sharePoint document library then it should automatically gets opened into 'Adobe Acrobat' where user will do some annotation/ comments in that pdf file & again 'Check-In' back his changes to SharePoint Document library.
    Following article will explain how I want to Check-In & Check-Out  pdf files from SharePoint document library once i click hyperlink on my '../SitePages/Approver.aspx' page.

    Please let me know how to achieve this functionality using office 365.
    Your assistance would be greatly appreciated as this is top-priority requirement for us.

    For instance, the forms.conf file:
    # Virtual path mapping for Forms Java jar and class files (codebase)
    AliasMatch ^/forms/java/(..*) "D:\Oradev/forms/java/$1"
    # Virtual path for JInitiator downloadable executable and download page
    AliasMatch ^/forms/jinitiator/(..*) "D:\Oradev/jinit/$1"
    # Virtual path for runform.htm (used to run a form for testing purposes)
    AliasMatch ^/forms/html/(..*) "d:\oradev/tools/web/html/$1"
    # Virtual Path for icons
    AliasMatch ^/forms/icons/(..*) "d:\icons/$1"
    ...you can move your files in one of the existing physical directories - e.g: d:/icons - and call them with the following:
    Web.show_Document('/forms/icons/document.pdf','_blank');But you can also add your own virtual/physical directory:
    # Virtual Path for documents
    AliasMatch ^/forms/documents/(..*) "d:\documents/$1"
    ...with the following code:
    Web.show_Document('/forms/documents/document.pdf','_blank');Francois

    Instead of cross-posting unformatted code you could have taken a look at the API, because there you might have come across a method named getLinks...Even though it's not documented, I really suspect that it will return the Hyperlinks on a given page.

  • Hyperlink in PDF to relative file does not work

    I am creating PDFs from Java and the PDF contains a link to a relative file which is distributed along with the PDF. When the link is clicked, the file is opened with the OS default program (written by us). At least that is how it is supposed to work.
    How should links to relative files be formatted?

    Thanks for the reply Daterson! This could be a nice new feature for Adobe Reader, but our reports are cross format, so this solution should work in HTML as much as it does in PDF.
    I think this problem stems from the fact that launching a different application from a hyperlink in PDF is neither secure, nor cross platform. Therefore, I think the support for such an action doesn't exist in PDF, but also in other formats, which we would also like to support.
    If anyone comes across a clever idea or technique for this problem, I would love to hear it!

  • Insert hyperlinks in pdf-documents

    Since Mavericks you can´t insert hyperlinks in pdf-documents. I miss this option in the preview. Are there any other possibilities?
    (I have MS Office for apple, therefore the links get lost, if I convert it to pdf).

    No one here can guess what "Apple wants." This is just an end user forum. There are open source alternatives to Pages and Office you may want to research: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6941
    http://www.apple.com/feedback is where you can put your two cents if you so desire to get Apple to consider them.

  • Find hyperlinks in pdf's

    How can I find hyperlinks in pdf's? We have an external service which checks hyperlinks in our pdf's but does not tell you the location of them, so I know I may have an invalid link but can't find it. Any help at all would be appreciated

    The InDesign CS created buttons I exported to PDF stop working when I apply security to not permit changes to document. The other bookmark type hyperlinks work. The external hyperlinks work. Just not the button types.

  • Hyperlinks in PDF files

    We are having problems with hyperlinks in PDF files.
    When clicking on a link in a PDF file the following message appears:
    "The file and its viewer application are set to be launched by this PDF file. The file may contain programs, macros, or viruses that could potentially harm your computer. Only open the file if you are sure it is safe. If this file was placed by a trusted person or program, you can click Open to view the file."
    There is a box that says "Do not show this message again", but selecing this box does not stop this message from appearing next time.
    Is there any way to disable this notification??

    Hi Jakob,
    BlackPlum suggets: "Thankfully, I noticed that in the Export... dialog box, (from the File Menu), you can select "Current Sheet" in the Layout field (this field defaults to "All Sheets", it's easy to miss). So select Current Sheet, and voila, you now have a pdf with multiple pages (and clickable hyperlinks!)."
    Though my Export To ... PDF does not have such an option.
    Hope a solution will come soon.
    Numbers 3.1 with a very long table (will not fit on one page when printing) and two sheets.
    B2 contains  an active hyperlink.
    B32 contains an active hyperlink.
    Menu > File > Print >
    And on the right,
    Now click on Print...
    Now click on PDF (bottom left)
    Save as PDF
    Here is the PDF opened in Preview (zoomed out to make a smaller screen shot)
    Two pages .
    Both of those hyperlinks are active.
    Clicking on this one:
    takes me to
    apple.com/sitemap.
    (Proof coming in my next reply. Having trouble with posting the screen shot.)

  • Hyperlinks to pdf files not working when project is exported out as SWF and uploaded to server

    hI all
    I'm using CS5 and i have hyperlinks to pdf files in my indesign project. However when i export to SWF, although the links work locally, they do not work when i upload all the relevant folders and files and test it from a server the links to the pdfs can not be found, the error messages indicates its looking for the files on my hard drive. I have also noticed that if i copy all the relevant folders and files and exported swf to a different directory and then launch swf from there the links do not work there either.
    Other than seperately uploading each pdf indvidually on to the server and then creating a hyperlink to it from the local indesign project i don't know what else to do.
    Any advice much appreciated.

    I have your same problem, but didn't consider uploading the PDFs and then linking to them. I'm willing to try it. Let me know if you ever found a better way, ok?
    Thanks.

  • Hyperlink in PDF changed

    the Rev is adobe reader x 10.1.4,
    in the company internal website,after I downloaded some  PDF files ,the hyperlinks indise the files are all pointed to my PC disk, why not the website address like before?

    the process was:
    1.At the first times,I open the PDF files in the company websites online,
    it was ok, what the hyperlink pointed was another website address which
    located a PDF file.
    2.After I saved some PDF file which I opened online to my local disk ,
    someday, when I wanted to open a hyperlink from a PDF file online ,it can't
    be realized ,like what I say at the beginning.
    my question is :
    why it changed,normally,the PDF embeded in the website can't be changed
    with anything.
    why did the hyperlink change,when I opened the PDF file ?

  • Hyperlinks to PDF files only work in Preview

    I cannot get any of my hyperlinks to PDF files to work in my
    ouput WebHelp file. The links work fine in Preview, but not in the
    actual output. And the files have been added to the baggage folder,
    and can be seen in the Baggage folder. Any help would be greatly
    appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi Retso
    Sorry for not replying earlier. I've been conducting a
    RoboHelp HTML class all day.
    Are you using RoboHelp HTML 6? If so, there is a new option
    labeled "Mark of the web" that could be nailing you. When you
    generate your WebHelp by double-clicking the layout, see if this
    option is enabled. If so, disable it and your PDF links should
    begin working. Note, however, that by DE-selecting this option, you
    could start seeing the Yellow Information bar as Internet Explorer
    ever so helpfully deems this as a security threat and blocks your
    WebHelp until you click it and allow the content to be shown.
    Cheers... Rick

  • How do I get working hyperlinks in PDF files?

    Hyperlinking procedures as laid down by Pages 09 work.  Conversion fromPages format to PDF format work - in principle.  But when one clicks on created hyperlink in PDF file, nothing happens.  So, no one outside of the working Pages community can go further.  Suggestions?  Thanks.

    Pages '09 ≠ Pages 5.01.
    You have the bugs and reduced features of Pages 5, the version you recently installed.
    Pages '09 should be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Use that instead.

  • Creating hyperlinks to pdf docs on a CD. Anyone experienced in doing this?

    Need to create hyperlinks to pdf documents in a CD. The pdf docs were created using an older version of Adobe and I am trying to follow a YOuTube instructing me how to create hyperlinks in the Table of Contents on the CD. The instructions on the YoTube do not match what is in the document for creating a hyperlink. Do I need to send and save all documents as NEW adobe pdf.s??? Thanks!!!

  • Word2007 hyperlinks to pdf documents

    I have a word2007 docx that contains several hyperlinks to pdf documents. With ctrl-click to one of the links, the acrobat reader always opens and changes its window to maximized mode. I can override the page display options in the reader to always display "single page - continuous" and 100%, but there is no option to always open in normal mode for the window size.
    Is there a way to avoid this maximizing?

    I have the same issue.  This is unacceptable!
