Image hyperlinks are lost upon export to HTML

Hi,
I have many documents I need to convert to HTML.  I need the images in the documents to be links.  This has worked fine, according to normal procedures if the images are png, jpg, or gifs.  However, most of my images are not those formats.  So if I have an eps, pdf, and tiff in my document, upon html export, there is no hyperlink.  That is, the <a href></a> tags are not in the HTML at all.  But if I convert the images to png, jpeg, or gifs, put them in my document, then choose that file format for conversion, the links work fine. 
I want to say there is an issue with the link tags upon file conversion.  It could be something else, but I am not sure why it works for certain file formats and not others.  I figured ID would keep the association with the hyperling after converting an image from say and eps to jpg.  If anyone knows what if going on, that would be most helpful, or if anyone knew of a good way to keep hyperlinks for images after exporting to HTML, I would greatly appreciate it. 
(I can obviously add the link tags myself in the HTML, or convert the images myself and put them in the docs, but I have many documents and would like some automated way.)
Thanks for the help!

Might help if you told us what version of InDesign you're using.

  • Rollover effects are lost when exported as Fireworks HTML

    I created a simple graphic in Fireworks, which has a rollover
    effect. The finished symbol was assigned a LINK, ALT and TARGET in
    Fireworks, and exported as an .htm file. Every slice was selected
    and saved in the IMAGES folder.
    After I placed the htm file in Dreamweaver, I previewed it in
    Safari and FireFox. It worked perfectly. After I uploaded it to the
    Web Host, however, all effects were lost.
    Here is the link:
    http://www.jlwa.net
    The effects are limited to the word "enter."
    If anyone sees what I'm doing wrong, please let me know.
    THANKS!

    though, my experience has not been good doing the build in
    Dreamweaver. Perhaps it is because I'm on a Mac...I don't
    know...everytime I try that the finish result pulls apart at the
    seams when viewed on a PC.
    On this page, for example:
    http://www.jlwa.net/projects.html,
    the Accordion (when viewed on a PC) has horizontal gaps between
    each of the Accordion's tabs, and all of the text, despite being
    set at "left" justification, appears as if I centered it. I'm still
    wrestling with this page to get it right.
    Thanks again - Paul
    Hmm. It looks okay in Chrome, but I see it pulls apart in IE
    7. That is probably due to inconsistencies in CSS rendering between
    the different browsers. Using Fireworks won't help you with that.
    You're going to have to modify the CSS to account for browser
    differences if you want it to address those little spaces. The CSS
    for the Spry accordion element is very simple and I don't see any
    hacks to get around the box model differences that I know people
    use. You might ask on the Dreamweaver forum, but it certainly isn't
    anything that Fireworks is going to fix for you.
    Also, there are some other maintenance issues I see in your
    page. Your navigation images are directly using the Fireworks
    naming scheme, such as jlwa_main_r2_c2_f2.jpg. When you export your
    images from Fireworks, give them good, reasonable names so that you
    can maintain the code. You have a row of unnecessary spacer gifs in
    your header. You should pull your CSS out into a separate file,
    rather than having it embedded into each and every file. That way,
    you only need to edit it in one place to have it take effect
    everywhere. Give your styles meaningful names, too, descriptive of
    their purpose. You have style1, style4, style5. If you want to edit
    them, you don't even know what they are without digging into the
    HTML code.

  • JPG files are ignored by exporting to HTML.

    I work with optimized jpg and png files for my project. But if I export to HTML Adobe Muse convert every graphic to a png file with even bigger file sizes as an jpg file.

    This happens, if transparency effects (shadow, rounded corner etc) are applied to a picture. JPG-images don’t support transparency, therefore these pictures have to be converted to PNG.

  • Has anyone seen this? All by "c's" in a font are "blocks" upon export!

    It was a fairly short (test) project. Upon export, every "c" in my text was "blocked." What gives?

    Nope. It's Helvetica, factory-installed FCPX. (Not 3rd party.) Never had the problem before. Doesn't happen with other fonts. I re-exported ("shared") and the blocks disappeared.
    Then... it showed up again intermittently. Trashed prefs. Yep. It's a genuine bug, even if it's one-of-a-kind that is particular to my system, at this moment.
    I'm not terribly worried. But, I'll be interested to see if it replicates itself inside other machines running 10.0.8. Hopefully folks will, literally, keep us "posted."

  • I am using excel to add hyperlinks to other documents. When I email the spreadsheet to another user the hyperlinks are lost "cannot open the file" error comes up. Any suggestions?

    Any suggestions on how to retain hyperlinks in a workbook after emailing to another user. The links to external documents were lost. However the links to other sheets within the book were retained.

    Probably some form of corruption. If you already tried JetComp (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/295334) try copying objects to a new empty db. Chances are they all copy except for one. Of course you could
    go back to a backup as well, perhaps just to retrieve that failing object.

  • Entered data in form is lost upon export to excel? Help.

    Dear forum members,
    I have a need to deliver a user fillable form to customers on a thumb drive. I created the form from an existing excel spreadsheet. The customers need to enter (numerical) orders for products and return the drive to me. I can get the data entered by the customer to save in the pdf form,but when I export back to excel the entered data from the pdf form is missing. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Ah, ok, this is for regular PDF files, not for form contents (which are entirely separate). Use TOOLS > Forms > More Form Options > Manage form data. Various export formats are available.

  • CS4 hyperlinks are inactive on exported PDF

    Ok, I have hyperlinks to URL's on my Indesign CS4 document.
    I selected the text, clicked new hyperlink, link to URL and unchecked shared destination and selected in character style my saved hyperlink style... then pasted the URL address into the destination. When exporting as PDF I have checked off to include hyperlinks.
    When the new PDF is opened in Preview the link "appears" active, but does not forward to the webpage of the hyperlink.
    WHAT IS WRONG ???

    AND I have downloaded the latest version of Acrobat Reader X, and when I select a live hyperlink I get a notice if I want to connect to the linked site, and when I select yes I am still not directed anywhere... it's a dead-end.
    It seems like something has changed within InDesign CS4 within the last two months, now there seems to be a hyperlinkage inability for PDF's.
    It worked fine for me before this time just using basic Preview... and now nothing.
    And I need this PDF by the end of day

  • Corners and overlaps in vector paths are transparent upon export

    Hello,
    I am tasked with using Illustrator and Flash to develop skins for Flex (CS3). I have managed to work through the process, but the when the paths on custom graphics are exported into Flex, corners and points of intersection where two paths or parts of the same path cross are transparent. For example, if I drew an X, there would be a clear spot at the intersection. If I drew a O, there would be a little clear spot where the points on the path overlapped. If I drew a Z, the corners on the letter will have clear spots .
    The problem occurs in Flex, and then also persists in the various browsers. It happens on my Apple and on my Mac.
    How do I prevent this? Is there some transformation I can do in Illustrator to prevent this?
    Thank you for your help.

    You can try a few things.
    Use the 3-way color corrector in FCP to bring the white levels under 90%.
    If all your text is on the same horizontal plane make sure it's on an even number
    Add a .25 blur to the graphics
    use the de-interlace filter

  • Acrobat X combines several images into one when exporting to HTML

    I'm trying to export a PDF that contains a table of text and images to HTML. When I do, Acrobat correctly places the text in an HTML table. The individual images, however, are combined into a single image and appear outside the table. Here's a sample PDF.
    The images in the PDF are simple sparklines. They're generated in Excel 2011 (Mac). Excel, bless it, can't export sparklines to HTML on its own. So I'm exporting to PDF instead. When I open the PDF in Acrobat, I can select and manipulate the images individually, so I don't think they're already combined before the PDF>HTML export. They are afterwards, though. Since the total number of rows that need to be exported to HTML is about 2,000, exporting the images from Acrobat individually isn't a working solution.
    The image that Acrobat exports doesn't even look that great, but a working export would put me miles ahead of where I am now. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Generic advice, which has been true ever since Acrobat 1.0. The fact that you can convert X to PDF, and PDF to Y, does not mean that this is ever a good way to convert X to Y. Too much information is lost at each stage.

  • Embedding image in export to HTML

    We are using SAP Crystal .NET runtime v13.0.9.
    We export to HTML 4.0 and embed the report output within the body of an email (not as an attachment). The report contains a link to a static image using an http URL using the Formula Editor.
    When received by the email recipients, the image is not visible and upon reviewing the source, it looks like the http URL is replaced with a file location ("C:\...").
    How can we ensure that the URL remains as the link to the image in the exported HTML output rather than being replaced by a file location?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    What happens when you export the report the HTML to local disk?
    Does this also happen when you export the report to PDF?

  • Can you include hyperlinks in an indesign doc. exported to HTML?

    Trying to send an email newsletter that has images/hyperlinks and maintains its format.
    When you export an indesign doc. into html code will the hyperlinks still work?
    If so, what do I have to do to make sure that the links and images work after sending it in email body.
    Thanks very much - any help is warranted

    Hi, I was just wondering if you got the problem resolved. I'm asking because we are experiencing kind of the same issue in our office. Our Marketing Manager is using Adobe InDesign and exports her documents to PDF. These PDFs won't print in any of our printers in the office. It spools and then gets stuck and it actually makes our HP Coloured Laser Printer throw an error (error 79) and we'll have to restart the printer due to this error. We can print other documents and other PDFs in the printer so we know it's not a printer driver issue. In fact, we have isolated the problem to only PDFs exported from InDesign. Even if we create a blank document from InDesign and export it to PDF it still won't print. Really odd. We would appreciate if you could share your solution if you were able to fix the issue. Thanks!!

  • Keynote hyperlinks don't work after exporting to html

    I'm working with Keynote in iWorks '08 on an iMac running OS 10.5.2. My hyperlinks (graphic and text) work perfectly running Keynote as a slide presentation, but not when I export it to an html format. What am I doing wrong here?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.
    Jeff
    PS: The hyperlinks do work after exporting in flash or pdf format, but our webmaster says I can't use those formats due to compliance issues.

    I noticed this as well. What I realized is that Keynote seems to just export the slide as a .jpg with a an .html file referencing the .jpg image. So in essence it is not creating an .html file of the slides contents but rather a reference to a picture of the slide. I haven't tried but maybe "send to" iweb and then "publishing to folder" will give you what you need. Not sure.

  • Could work an animated flash bitmap image exported in html 5, in DPS ?

    I'm new in DPS, just started for a couple of weeks and I need to use a image in an animation.
    I created the animation in inDesign exported in .fla, used de toolkit js, load it in a container with web content overlay, and when I preview it with Adobe Content Viewer it doesn't work, it apears a blank screen. Neighter of animation from that stage won't work.
    To be very precise any animation works fine, when I test the html in a browser, the problem appears only in the content viewer.
    The animation is very simple: smal logo entering in the stage from the right, not very complex.
    I tried in flash with other images in a test file and loaded in inDesign, and still don't work. Other vector animation works well, no problem. I saw that if I have an image in library in flash and export a simple animation with a vector ball, won't work in indesign preview, with content viewer.
    My question is, Could work an animated flash bitmap image exported in html 5, in DPS ?  If so, what should I need to do ?
    Thank you in advance.

    Two possible solutions I was considering:
    1) In my index/first page, have all the swfs present (scaled to 1x1, behind something, or invisible) and have a preloader code on that first page... so all the content gets loaded before continuing onto the rest of the site.  That would certainly work in making the site run quick... but would mean a relatively lengthy wait at the start.  Luckily, unlike my current site, all the actual site content (aside from the header/nav interface) is HTML... so the bulk of the site's content is in the HTML pages, not as part of the Flash header... so it probably wouldn't be too horrific a wait.  However, it would be loading EIGHT of these swfs, since there are eight pages... so then maybe it would be....
    2) Have an swf that consists of just the 'draw up' of the interface, and it's idle state... then when each button is pressed, load a new swf to replace the main one, which has the specific page's animated title sequence, and ends with the code to load the html page.  So, each separate HTML page would have embedded into it only the main swf, and the title animation swf would be swapped in when a nav button is pressed.  Main issue here is each button press would envoke a preloader sequence (kind of tedious)... and unfortunately all the 'main interface' elements loaded in with the main swf would have to be loaded in again at the start of each animated title swf (although none of the draw up... just the loading of the interface and buttons).  For highspeed users, it should be okay, I guess....
    Thoughts or better ideas?

  • Can't select text when export in HTML and Images

    I am entirely new to Fireworks and I can't find anyone to teach me Adobe Fireworks. I followed some youtube tutorials but most of them are vague. I am still figuring the way to export from Fireworks to Dreamweaver, without affecting its contents like bitmap images and the text. When I export in HTML and Images format and opened the htm file, I can't select the text I've inserted in Fireworks. Can anyone tell me what I should do?

    I cant scroll below or above viewable section of text in any of my Macbooks, iMac, Mac Mini. Never have been able to, never could, except by pressing the arrow keys whilst selecting, to move up or down.
    Its stupid
    I dont have flash installed (never will do since my first virus of video ad sound running in background from Cnet was downloaded and kept returning until i deinstalled flash).
    I believe that this is a universal issue because none of my Macs can scroll out of screen when selecting text, which as a webmaster and developer, is a pain in the butt
    My issue is not in word documents, its in everything

  • How to make muse export to html and image/asset files only without css and jquery?

    Hi there adobe community,
    I am here today to see if there is a way of only exporting a muse site as html with the css integrated in like dreamweaver does. Therer probably is no way to do this. However, i dont want external .css files and .js files i want them all in the html file, is there a way to do this. The reason i want to know is because my client wants no external files and only wants an image and html documents. I told him that it might not be possible and i want to know if it is. If you could help me that would be great.
    Thankyou For Your Time.

    Hi Pink,
    When Muse exports as HTML , It exports everything separately like the HTML files , .Css files in a different folder and the .js files in a different folder. There is no way in Muse that you can export in any other way.
    This is because a lot of the Css properties are used all across the site and not only on a particular page and so these properties are shared.
    Moreover this is a much more efficient way of designing a website rather than keeping everything in  a single file.
