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.

Hyperlinks to pdf file not working

I hope someone will be able to help me. I have been using PDF
converter online for awhile now and on some of my websites. I know
how to use hyperlinks (I am a webdesiger). All of a sudden, my
hyperlinks are not working on any NEW ones I create. I click on the
link on the website and it comes up with Error 404, Page not found.
I am using regular word documents.
The support team keeps instructing me on how to set up
hyperlinks - I know how to do that.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Thanks!

I am a new user to OnLINE Adobe. My hyperlinks from Word
documents do not transfer to the PDF files. Please help!!!

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

A link to other pdf files not working in only Android OS. How Can I fix it ?

If there is many folders and pdf files in there and a pdf file is at root and the root pdf file has many link to pdf files.
In Windows OS links work well. but In Android OS, not working. when I click links, there is no difference. How can I fix it?

Hi,
Are you trying to open a portfolio or a pdf with attachments on Adobe Reader on Android or a pdf file with links(in form of text) to other pdfs? Would it be possible for you to share the pdf with us at [email protected] so that we may investigate?
Thanks,

Opening PDF Files Not Working Sporadically

I inherited a VB.Net Windows application. It uses MDI Parent and MDI Child forms. Two of the child forms have viewers that open PDF files. In both cases the child forms are launched and the PDF file opened when the user selects a menu item. My application has references to four Adobe dlls, AcroPDF.dll, adodb.dll, AxInterop.AcroPDFLib.dll, and Interop.AcroPDFLib.dll. In both cases when the menu item for the desired document is selected (this raises a button click event) a very simple line of code " AxAcroPDF1.src = [path]\ [name of PDF file] " is executed. When executed from a CD, the application works fine on the development machine and on some user workstations, but on at least one workstation when the user selects the menu item that open the PDF file they get an unhandled exception error. The error message is quite lengthy, so I will only include excerpts. "0x8000405 Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component" is the meat of the error message.
The user's machine on which the error occurs has Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Distiller, as does another user workstation on which the application runs fine. Windows Vista is the standard, so I do not believe it is being affected by the version of Windows. All of our workstations are supposed to be imaged using the same master; however individual users can have other software installed as needed. We do have some stringent security requirements and they vary depending on the network the particular user is on. I do not think this would have any affect on a standalone Windows application running from a CD, however I am not certain that is the case.
Any answers, suggestions, thoughts, etc. on why this error would occur on some machines but not others will be greatly appreciated. There is so much on the net that my Google searches return it is difficult to filter through all of it. The error message in question can apparently be generated many ways and so far I have not found anything that is specific to the error occurring when attempting to open a PDF file within a Windows application.

The user's workstation on which the application throws an error has Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro as does one of the other workstations on which the application runs correctly. I verified this with the user, so we can eliminate the version of the software as being the culprit. Please express any thoughts or ask any questions you feel are pertinent. I would like to get to the bottom of this and will gladly do whatever will help other posters help me. Thanks.

Problem with Acrobat Hyperlinks to packaged PDF's not working when moved to PC platform

Hello,
I'm having a little issue with the new Acrobat CC.
I have a master PDF presentation that includes Hyperlinks (set up in Acrobat) that link to external pdf files (packaged in a sub-folder from the source PDF file).
On a number of macs they work fine, opening in Acrobat / Reader. But when transferred to a PC platform the link clicks but none of the files are opening.
I'm geting no dialogue boxes or error messages, just does nothing.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Matt

Second question: I can't seem to link an image that I inserted on a "My Photos" template page. There is no way to select the image--when I do, it just shows the "blue box" around the image but it doesn't actually select the image itself so I can link it.
This is correct, you cannot make the image holders hyperlinks. The solution is to put a Shape over the top of the image that you want to be a link, then Opn Inspector, Graphic Link and make the Opacity 1%, no more no less. Then make this shape a link. Beware that this image will still display in a slideshow and if you insert more images and it moves, the shape will not move with it.
You may also want to click on the shape and then go Arrange > Bring to Front.

Help! INDD PDF file appears pixelated when projected, but not on laptop

Hello, all,
I'm preparing an important presentation and want to ensure that my slides look great when projected at an event next week. I'm concerned because at a practice pitch a couple weeks ago, they appeared pixelated when projected, even though they looked beautiful on my laptop screen. This includes fonts and vector graphics. I had created the slides in InDesign 6 and exported to PDF. I'm posting screen shots of the file settings for each below. Should I have done something differently? Can anyone share best practices for exporting to PDF when the intent is to project the PDF from a laptop? I would really appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Waiting on technical details of projector

If you're displaying the PDF with Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader then any vector content (graphics and text) will scale perfectly; the document setup in InDesign has no bearing other than to set a 4:3 aspect ratio for the pages (PDFs don't measure in pixels). As Rob says there's no getting around the resolution of the projector.
Given how PDFs behave there's no complex 'best practice' guide for on-screen or projected content driven by a desktop computer. You can work in any color space and use any combination of transparency, raster and vector content you wish, then just run Export > Interactive PDF with the default options. If you're displaying via a mobile device it's a good idea to work in RGB, as some PDF-reading apps will mess up CMYK>RGB conversion, and don't bother with any rich media (Flash/video).

Hyperlinks within .pdf documents not working IMac Safari

I am working with a website that displays several .pdf documents. The documents contain hyperlinks to urls. Everything works fine in other browsers, but in Safari, these hyperlinks do not work. The cursor does not change when it enters the hyperlink space, and nothing happens if the link is clicked. I am using an IMac running OS 10.6. 8 and Safari 5.1.10. I have tried both the native (Preview) option and a plug-in. Neither makes any difference. Can anyone suggest a fix other than abandoning Safari?

I am having problems getting my hyperlinks to PDF files to work

It seems that since this recent update, the links to my PDF files don't work. You can only highlight the files but the PDF does not download. Can anyone help me fix this or should I reload iWeb and not update it until they fix it? The website is arlingtonwomensclub.com if anyone wants to try the links.

I do see your problem, and I have a possible solution for you...
Here is the (working) link to your PDF file...
http://arlingtonwomensclub.com/Town-Wide%20Garage%20Sale_files/Arlington%20Women %25d5s%20Club%20Garage%20Sale.pdf
And here is the (non-working) hyperlink that is on your page...
http://arlingtonwomensclub.com/Town-Wide%20Garage%20Sale_files/Arlington%20Women %E2%80%99s%20Club%20Garage%20Sale.pdf
And this is the name of your PDF file...
"Arlington Women's Club Garage Sale.pdf"
The problem here is that the name of your PDF file includes an apostrophe and it is being coded by iWeb and interpreted by your server in different ways, which is leading to the "File not found" error message when you click on the link.
I would encourage you to simplify your filenames and pagenames and sitenames, because long names with spaces and other special non-alphanumeric characters will get converted into their character codes and may not be interpreted correctly by browsers or other servers.
Change the name of your PDF file, maybe to a simple "application.pdf". Relink it to your text link. Republish and I think you will see an improvement.
Let me know if you have any questions or run into any other roadblocks.

Imbedded link to downloadable .PDF file not working in Safari

Two questions:
I imbedded a text link that is supposed to download a .PDF file from my iDisk. However, when I click the text link from my Safari browser I get this error message:
"“A network error occurred while accessing this document on the Internet. Would you like to close the document or reload it?”
When I retry by pasting my iWeb published page into Mozilla, the linked file downloads quickly with no problem. However, when I paste it into Internet Explorer's browser, it takes about 4 minutes to download!
Second question: I can't seem to link an image that I inserted on a "My Photos" template page. There is no way to select the image--when I do, it just shows the "blue box" around the image but it doesn't actually select the image itself so I can link it.
I was able to link images in my .Mac pages so I don't know why I can't on iWeb.
If anyone wants to try it, here is the link to that page. ONLY CLICK ON THE BERMUDA AMEX TRAVEL PLANNER TEXT as that is the only link I've imbedded thus far. This page is obviously still under construction.

Links to embedded pdf files not working in iOS reader

I have created a pdf document that links to a variety of embedded pdf files.
When I open this file in the iOS reader on my iPad 3, the links are not active. All of the embedded files are listed in the attachments list, but the links themselves do not launch the attachments.
Please help!
Thank you

We only support internal and http links in the current reader,not including links to attachments. However, PDF attachments should be open-able using the attachments button (bottom right). It should also work for password protected documents. If it does not, please share a sample file with us at [email protected] so we can investigate.
Thanks!

Search in saved preview .pdf files not working any more

When I download a .pdf file from the internet and open it in preview, the search command works ok. When this same file is saved to disk and opened again, search is not working any more. Is this a bug, or my fault. Regards Rolf

Hi,
I hope this helps...
A while back we have more than one browser running on our PC (IE, Firefox, Chrome) and we messed by how Acrobat views documents over the web.
I think that this has some relevance here, as around this time LC also started falling over previewing forms.
Now if we open LC and Acrobat is not running, the "Preview PDF" is not present or accessible. So now we fire up Acrobat before we open a form in LC Designer and the preview tab is there and functioning.
Not much of a workaround; but I am hoping that someone will have a better one!!!
Good luck,
Niall

Stop / Start of server, Redeploy of War, this does not work.
Any idea ?

Thanks Ben!
That helped. I also was using that
from the examples, and it did not play well in the HTMLPanel.
I appreciate the quick assistance, as I am pretty new to Spry. I have been creating version 2 of my website code, and one of the conversions has beenfrom JQuery to Spry for almost everything. Spry is a lot easier to conceptualize, except I completely missed the setting you gave me.
One of my problems is lack of knowledge on how to see what is happening, or not ahppening with javascript on a page. I have firebug, and that seems to give me some info. But when I tried to look at stuff with scripts running on the HTMLPanel, I was unable to see anything.
Thanks again,
Jamie

Hyperlinks in PDF doc stop working when emailed out in Mac Mail. Why?

I have created a Pages document with hyperlinks and then saved it as a PDF.
The PDF document retains the hyperlinks (they still work).
When I attach the PDF to Mail and email it out the hyperlinks stop working unless I double click on the PDF document (which "opens it").
Why? Help please as I want the hyperlinks to work when the email is received - ie. without double clicking on it. Thanks.

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?

Full Text Search in PDF file Not Working in SQL Server 2012

OS: Windows Server 2012 @ Azure
DB: SQL Server 2012 SP 1 with Cum Update 6
Filter: OfficeFilter installed, PDFFilter64 11 installed (actually I tried 9 too)
I have done the following steps:-
1. Configure SQL Server Instance to enable FILESTREAM for Transaction-SQL Access (IO Access and Allow Remote Client Access to FileStream data) and restart the instance service.
2. Set Stream Access Level to Full Access and
3. Create Database with file stream folder and set the created database Properties.Options: FileStreamDirectorName = fileContainer and FileStream Non-Transaction Access = Full.
4. Create a FileTable with file director
5. Execute the following scripts to ensure all installed components working. PDF is listed as one of the supported filter.
EXEC sp_fulltext_service @action='load_os_resources', @value=1;
EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'verify_signature', 0 -- don't verify signatures
EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'update_languages'; -- update language list
EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'restart_all_fdhosts';
EXEC sp_help_fulltext_system_components 'filter'
reconfigure with override
6. Copy a few PPTX, DOCX, PDF file into the file director.
7. Search the data by following command. I can PPTX and DOCX files can return right result but PDF is not returned although it contains the searching contents.
SELECT *
FROM dbo.Course
WHERE CONTAINS(file_stream, 'Counsellor');
Any expert advise?

Are you seeing any errors in the SQL Server Error Log, the Windows Application or System logs? How about in the Full-text crawl logging?
Troubleshooting Errors in a Full-Text Population (Crawl)
If your server has a mix of multi-threaded iFilters and single-threaded iFilters, this can cause serious problems with building the full text index. (How do I know this? Well, let's just say that I have suffered as well. And I was shocked!)
The efficiency was greatly increased by this article:
Troubleshooting: Slow Full-Text Indexing Performance Due to Filtering Process
This means changing the threading model for the multi-threaded (e.g. Microsoft Office) filters to be Apartment Threaded. Or perhaps if you are full text indexing PDF files, abandoning the free single-threaded Adobe IFilter and purchasing the FoxIt
(or some other) multi-threaded PDF iFilter would benefit you.
