Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?

Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?
Depending on the system version, and Office Word version:
- a pure URL link starting with http or even www sometimes works in PDF, either produced by Aperçu or Adobe, sometimes does not work;
- other kind of links where the text under display is not a URL, never work!
I like everything with Apple computers and software, except PDF generation. Output files are usually bigger in size, and no better quality, than under Windows. Furthermore, it is weird that something as common as hyperlinks does not work correctly!
I related this question with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but the problem is still there with Mac OS Lion.
This problem seems to have been around for years, without any proper solution from Apple and/or Adobe! To me, this is very embarrassing!

Greetings NoNameGiven,
If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.

  • Drivers Work Perfectly in Windows 8 but NOT in Windows 8.1

    Due to several reasons, most of which pertain to Windows Store app compatibility, I want to upgrade to Windows 8.1. However, I tested the preview beforehand to make sure everything driver-wise was compatible... Everything is fine, except for my Atheros
    AR9285 wifi adapter. For reasons a bit to complicated to explain in this paragraph, I am using the Windows XP driver for this adapter. Please don't say the driver is too old, and that's why it's not working, because I am well versed in drivers and versioning.
    BTW, this driver works perfectly in Windows 8. Just NOT in Windows 8.1. Any help would be appreciated as I am currently ripping my hair out.

    yes, I think also found that

    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. 

  • On i-pad, when try to enable itunes match, it says, "you are not currently subscribed to iTunes Match. Use iTunes on your computer to subscribe." I am subscribed though! Then it says no my request and item not available in the U.S. store. WWJD?

    On i-pad, when I try to enable itunes match, it says, "you are not currently subscribed to iTunes Match. Use iTunes on your computer to subscribe." I am subscribed though! Then it says no to my request and, "item not available in the U.S. store."

    On the iOS device you must be logged into the store with the exact same Apple ID you used to originally purchase the service. Go to Setting > iTunes & App Stores and if necessary sign out/in and then enable iTM.

    @Carolyn:
    Yes, I did search before but restricted it to the past month, because I had the feeling that it’s worse now since the update to 5.1.10, but I may be wrong.
    It seems this is an old and unsolved common problem.
    @andy:
    “Top Sites” is hot, but I’ve never used that funny dots without any mouse-over text.
    After deleting (before starting Safari)  it’s restored by a default TopSites.plist, it seems these cookies
    - are only reloaded when viewing the Top Sites (?)
    - are not among my reappearing cookies, I have never seen such a cookie / cache on my system before (e.g. expedia, orbitz, monster, usatoday, disney, craigslist).
    And Top Sites would not explain why the Web Inspector has different infos regarding use of cookies and local storage than Safari’s “Privacy” tab.
    After playing with deleting TopSites.plist, without surfing, suddenly I have ”121 cookies or other data” at Safari’s Privacy tab, nearly all are listed as “Cache” or “Cache, Cookies” but the Web Inspector doesn’t show any of them, only my google.co.uk items.
    ---> Thanks, I’ll send a feedback to Apple.

  • How do I maintain column formatting when converting from PDF to Excel?

    How do I maintain column formatting when converting from PDF to Excel? All info is no longer on the lines or in the columns they started out being in? Any help would be appreciated.

    Sara,
    Perhaps I am expecting too much from Adobe ExportPDF. The reason I subscribed to this service, for which I pay a yearly fee, was that I need a way to  convert scanned and digital documents to Word &/or Excel. I read the link you included but to be candid the more I tried to understand what was written the more confused I got. The process should not be this difficult. Currently I am using a NEAT scanner to create PDF documents of whatever I scan. After I changed the OCR setting on Adobe ExportPDF the output was much better but not to the point it was usable as it was. Information that appears to be lines and columns are sometimes not recognizing two columns and just putting them together in one. Obviously not usable. The other thing it does is bunch numbers that appear in a column that are just a bunch of numbers that I have no way of fixing. 
    Please let me speak to someone who can help me. Right now I not getting anything of value in my paid subscription.

  • Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my AOL messages sometimes, but not always open with a blank page. If I open AOL in Firefox, the messages open fine.  This does not happen with any messages by any means, and it is not any type of certain message

    Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my AOL messages sometimes, but not always open with a blank page. If I open AOL in Firefox, the messages open fine.  This does not happen with any messages by any means, and it is not any type of certain message. In fact, in the same screen I can often open an email from the same sender with email intact. This is weird. Sometimes I close the page and open a new page. Sometimes that works and sometimes it does not. It is a very annoying thing.

    Hi,
    When you start Messages fro the first time you are asked for an Apple ID
    When this is verified and entered it appears in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts and is Enabled.
    The App should have also picked on on those iChat Accounst you had before.
    These should be Enabled if they were when you last used iChat.
    Exactly which "Accounts" are logged in can be seen in Message Menu > Accounts and will include the iMessage "Account" and Bonjour.
    In the Window menu you will see CMD +0 for the Messages window and CMD+1 for the "Buddies" window which is a combined list at this stage.
    Go to the Preferences > General Section and Untick the "Collect all accounts into one list".
    This will give you separate iChat type Buddy lists.
    You can check if that account/Buddy list is set to Invisible or if in the Preferences > Accounts > Security you have settings that will block some people from seeing you as On line.
    You are saying Buddies can see you as On Line which implies they are still sending to your AIM based Names (@Mac.com is a valid AIM Screen Name)
    I am not sure from your post if you are trying to iMessage their email IDs thinking they are Apple IDs and that they are using Messages as well.
    There is no Buddy list for iMessages side
    No-one can tell you are "On Line" until they have your details in the "To" spot in Messages with the correct iMessaged contact info (iPhone Number or Apple ID)
    Obviously an Apple ID can be an email or look like one.
    In some cases they are also valid AIM Screen Names as well.
    In the case or the @mac.com name you may have linked this Apple ID to iMessages as well.

  • Moving Scriptlet Code to backing bean when converting from JSP - Facelets

    Hello!
    We are converting our application from jsf1.2 to 2.0 and all jsps are being converted to XHTML. Some are trivial while others had very complex scriptlets.
    I would like to know what are some of the recommended ways of moving Scriptlet Code to backing bean when converting from JSP -> Facelets.
    I have thought about listeners, actionListeners, putting code getXXXX() of the backing bean and then calling #{bean.XXXX} but not sure whats the best way.
    I do appreciate the response!
    Eg of a jsp page:
    <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h" %>
    <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f" %>
    <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/xxx-jsf.tld" prefix="l" %>
    <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/yyy-pp.tld" prefix="p" %>
    <%@ page import="com.ttyy.search.beans.jsf.AdvancedSearchFormManagedBean" %>
    <%@ page import="com.kkee.util.*"%>
    <%
        AdvancedSearchFormManagedBean advancedSearchFormManagedBean = (AdvancedSearchFormManagedBean) request.getSession().getAttribute("AdvancedSearchFormManagedBean");
        if (advancedSearchFormManagedBean == null) {
           advancedSearchFormManagedBean = new AdvancedSearchFormManagedBean();
           request.getSession().setAttribute("AdvancedSearchFormManagedBean", advancedSearchFormManagedBean);
        advancedSearchFormManagedBean.initializeForAdvancedSearchOptions();
        advancedSearchFormManagedBean.setQuickSearch();
         request.setAttribute("portletHeader", "Hello " + advancedSearchFormManagedBean.getPerson().getFirstname() + ", check out the latest programs in your practice areas and jurisdictions");
    %>

              portletContainer="#{PortletContainerManagedBean}"
              id="MYCenter"
              portletScope = "TEST_SCOPE"
              suppressIfNoData="true"
              portletSkinName="SOME_SKIN">

         String flag = PropertyItems.getInstance().getPropertyItem("response.time.flag");
         if("1".equals(flag)){
              ResponseTime rt = (ResponseTime) session.getAttribute("responseTime");
            if(rt!=null){
                rt.setDesc("my cle loaded");
                long now = System.currentTimeMillis();
                long start = rt.getStart() + rt.getTotal();
                rt.setInterval(now-start);
                rt.setTotal(rt.getTotal()+rt.getInterval());
                LogUtil.log(rt.toString(), LogUtil.DEBUG_LEVEL);
                session.setAttribute("responseTime", rt);
    %>

    That helps.
    This could be another topic question but itst kind of related to what i am doing right now. while converting JSP to facelet (in jsf2) I came across another issue.
    <h:commandLink id="Save" rendered="#{RegistrationBean.isNOTInOrigionalRegistrationMode}" action="#{RegistrationBean.updateProfile2Submit}" styleClass="#{portalSkinManagedBean.contentPortletSkin.strongTextStyle}">
              <l:htmlSkinnedImage id="SaveImage" style="border:0;" url="save.gif" alt="Save Information"/>

  • Acrobat Pro 9.2 crops text when converting from Word 2003

    When converting a Word 2003 file to PDF, using either PDF Maker or directly from Pro 9, the converted file crops a few lines of text at the top of some pages. Converting the same file by just printing to PDF is a work around, but this method does not create bookmarks, so is not preferable.
    I create an updated version of a particular file monthly, using the old file as a basis.  The file will always have tracked changes in Word which are all accepted before converting the file, and the file always has a watermark, which is removed in Word and the file saved before converting to PDF.
    Now here's the weird thing, if I remove the watermark in Word, save the file and convert to PDF, the cropping occurs.  But if I leave the watermark in the saved file, convert to PDF and remove the watermark in Acrobat, no cropping occurs! This is an OK work around too but I'd rather not have to do the workaround at all.
    I've tried all the variations and settings I can think of, but I still end up working around the problem every month.
    Any ideas?

    They won't show up unless
    you have click on each text box
    Go  Format  > Shape
    click on lines
    chose desired line color for the borders.
    once the Borders a colored they will show up in the created PDFs.

    Hi!
    I figured it out! It was a firewall issue.
    I use Handsoff and I checked it before i wrote here. There was no "user defined rule" that denied the communication but when i changed to "All rules" the program displayed several rules regarding AppleTV and its IP.
    So if anybody has the same problem make sure you see all rules of your firewall and get rid of the AppleTV related rules generated by the program itself. You dont need to update to the latest iOS on the AppleTV!
    I hope that I can help some people with this info to fix the problem.

  • How to maintain original lines when converting a word file in a PDF

    Unfortunately the table lines often change when converting a word file in a PDF, e.g. dotted/broken lines into straight lines or different kinds of broken lines. How can I maintain the original lines when converting the documents?
    Many thanks in advance for your advice.
    Li Li

    Hello,
    Ok, this is the background.
    I’m a publisher. Any document to end user will go as pdf. And off course it preserves the word appearance. We ship our manuals only in pdf.  At this point my end users have to copy the “CODES” into his editor to run the product.  So when doing it, the “Codes” copied from pdf to his editor loses its format.  Editor need not be the actual one; you can also test in a notepad.
    P.S: You can find the difference by copying the code from word to notepad and pdf to notepad
    Hope you now understood the purpose what I’m looking at for.
