Linking in a PDF Via coordinance or hover over

I have been looking for a way/tool/script/etc to create links to other PDF, or HTML, ETC from within a PDF. For example if you are viewing a PDF in a browser, the PDF has a picture of an orange and an apple, if you click on the orange it takes you to orange.pdf if you click on the apple it takes you to apple.htm. Can anyone direct me to an application or anything that can help me? Is this even possible with PDF?
Thank you, and I am sorry if this is a stupid question.

I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button

I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button to navigate back to my starting point the bookmarks are replaced by "page thumbnails". Is there anyway to stop this from happening?

Hi Pusman,
While setting up the links, if you choose to open the file in a new window then you won't face this issue, then you can simply switch to the previous file and bookmark view will remain as it is.
Does that helps with your query?

Sharing an imported PDF via a link

I uploaded/imported an AcroForm to my FormCentral (FC) account, added the submit button in FC and now I'd like to share a link to the file for users to access the form, vs me having to send them a the Submission-Enabled PDF version that I downloaded.
I thought there was a way to share the PDF via a link, however, the "copy fillable form link" button is greyed out. My understanding is that the form that I uploaded to my FC account is hosted on the Adobe server, so why can't I generate a link that I can have others point to - to access the form? Or is the option to share direct links to the form ONLY for Web/HTML forms created within FC?
Please advise.

Hi;
The Import AcroForm feature allows you to use a form you have already authored, not requiring you to re-author in FormsCentral, to collect your data in FormsCentral and access features like Submission Reciepts, Notifications and the reporting available allowing you to share access to the responses etc. The Imported PDF does not create an HTML fillable form and does not provide any URL to the form.
You can host your form on a website and create a link to download the PDF from there rather than attaching the PDF to email, but there is no URL provided by FormsCentral. How complex is your form? Could you re-create it using our authoring?
Thanks,
Josh

I want to save a converted PDF (via your cloud product) onto my desktop. I want a hardcopy on my drive and not a link via Chrome to your cloud. How do I do this?

I want to save a converted PDF (via your cloud product) onto my desktop. I want a hardcopy on my drive and not a link via Chrome to your cloud. How do I do this?

Hi WalterFranco,
When you convert your files using ExportPDF or Adobe PDF Pack, files are automatically saved to your online account. But, you can log on to your account at https://cloud.acrobat.com/files, select the file that you want to store on your hard disk, and then click the Download link at the top of the file list.
Please let us know how it goes.

How can I retain hyperlinks while saving a webpage as PDF via Print?

How can I retain hyperlinks while saving a webpage as PDF via Print?
This is the title of an apple forum question, and it is a bug in both Safari 5.1.3 and under, and I find it to also occur in Firefox browser (at least 9.* 10.*, 11.0), running on Lion OS (10.7.2, 10.7.3). See:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3212301?start=0&tstart=0
Under the newer Mac OS mentioned, and Firefox 10.2, 11.0, 9.*, if I select:
File -> Print -> PDF -> Open PDF in Preview"
(and view / save the PDF in Preview, you will see none of the links in the original web page are active
or using
File -> Print -> PDF -> Save as PDF...
same problem. Try this using any Wikipedia page, for example.
When this problem was posed in Apple forums, by a user of the Safari browser, it was found to be a bug (since Aug 2011) fixed in a Safari browser build 5.1.4 circa Jan 2012. I tried the newer Safari browser and sure enough the problem went away (except that links embedded in the PDF no longer appeared as blue text - ARGH - but "hover over" with the cursor showed the link and clicking the link in Preview viewer activated the link in a browser window).
So I post this to the Mozilla community, please fix this 'cause I don't want to have to switch over to Safari browser every time I want to archive a PDF with active links!!!!
P.S. I did a spot-check and with the newer add-on Enjoy Reading 1.0.1 and FF11.0. When the Enjoy reading formatted version appears in the browser window, all URLs/links are preserved and highlighted in blue, but when I print that browser window as PDF, the links are dead (don't work) even though they appear in blue in the PDF.
So, what's going on, can the Safari fix be researched and applied to FF?
Also, on some forums, people are responding, Well, try installing Acrobat reader. Well, I don't want to, Preview reader has worked fine for me for years.

Thanks jscher2000.
RE: -- '''Generally speaking, PDF converters that work by intercepting a print job do not have access to the URLs behind links in the page.''' --
I cannot say I agree. I could email you a PDF clipping or two (generated from Safari on Mac OS, in its native capability with no add-ons) that shows you otherwise. When I used PC platforms I did have to install PDF converters (tried both free and expensive ones) that did what I describe.
I cannot try the add-on you mention, '''Print Pages to Pdf.''' in Firefox. It shows in my browser and Mac OS platform "Not available for your platform." So I am guessing it was written for the PC version of Firefox.
The Mac OS has had a native PDF-creation functionality for as many years as I have been using it; I used PC prior to that, Win3.1 through XP and NT. And on my PC, I bought (and at work, my employer bought $$$, I had to justify three levels up to management the ability to create PDFs on my work PC) some Adobe functionality to CREATE pdf's (readin's free and easy, makin' em's costly on the PC).
I've gone and dug through some of my (Mac) doc and clipping archives, and I find that stuff I created after about Dec 2008 or so seems to eliminate all link functionality. When viewed in the Apple native "Preview" application (sort of Apple's equivalent to Adobe Acrobat reader, ships with the OS): link tags are highlighted/tinted, clicking a link opens a (default) browser and takes you there; hover-over the tag text shows the actual link. (Of course, not all old links are still VALID or point to the desired source.)
I could, in Safari or FF browser window and with no add-ons or Adobe paid products whatsoever, use the native OS method to create PDF's from any application (word processor, spreadsheet, browser, etc) via the menu File -> Print -> Save as PDF menu and create a PDF that had active hyperlinks. In Apple OS Lion 10.7.3, I still can't when it uses this broken WebKit interface, links are "dead" as a doornail until a fix is distributed in WebKit for a future Lion release. It seems this functionality died at least as far back as Leopard OS 10.6.8, but don't quote me on that. Also, my version of Pages 2009 version 4.1(923) (sorta like Word) STILL creates a PDF document that preserves (1) text hyper-links within the document, and (2) web links (in the PDF) that open the browser. I just made a test document.
When all you can see in the PDF is the tag text, there is nothing to copy-paste to follow any link. Also, hypertext links are often used by authors to create links to other points in a document: now even *that* is broken in the PDF version of the documents I retrieve from the web and print from FireFox (Broken in Safari 5.1.3 and earlier but fixed in 5.1.4).
Try this on the PC, in your browser and print a news clipping as PDF, do the links in the PDF work? What products do this, and what don't? I would bet the machine with a full Adobe suite this will work flawlessly. (Why should a PC user have to pay hundreds of $ to create this functionality in what I thought was an open standard (PDF)? But that's talkin' religion, let's not start that.)
Some folks might say,
go online and find the original source doc in your browser. Or,
go and add those links manually using the Preview edit add-link capability (hunh? no thanks) , or
save each item worth saving as an HTML archive instead of a PDF (argh, creating a whole directory in the process, I might add, including ads). Or,
who needs PDFs, everything is online.
Or, buy some Adobe product.
I think they miss my point. This is a real strange dumbing-down of archival PDF documents, or at least a destruction of the ability to use PDF as an archive that retains its links and references.
C.F. the guy who has archives of scientific papers, and the old material all cross-references nicely but after date X there are no working links.

When i send a PDF via e-print, it gets cropped, is there a way to prevent this from happening?

PDF's are printing fine when i print direct to the printer but when they are sent by e-mail they get cropped, is there a way to get the document to fit to page when sent as an email attachment?
The Printer in question is a HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 color M551n, the printer is brand new installed last week so i don't know if this is the norm or not.
Edit: Please can someone please explain how to correct this.

If you're using a desktop or notebook PC to send the email you could try installing the HP ePrint Mobile Driver software on your machine, the link to the download is here. This will allow you to print the PDF to any ePrint capable printer without having to email it to the printers email address as an attachment.
Once installed and with your PDF open on your machine, select Print from the File menu, then select "ePrint" from the list of available printers (don't select the actual printer itself) and click Print in the bottom right corner of the box. A dialogue box will open showing the avaialble ePrint printers you can print to. Click on the Connected button on the left of the screen to add your printer to the list if its not listed.
Hope this helps.

Forcing link in one web based PDF to open link to another PDF in new browser window

We have created a form using LiveCycle Designer ES2. The form is found on our website and is used by faculty to submit proposal information to our office. Depending upon the answers to questions in the form if they say yes we had a link to another form that we would like them to complete and submit with the original PDF that they are working on. The problem that we are having is that when they click on the form it opens the new PDF and all the data that they had entered in the original PDF is gone once the new form opens up. Is there a way to force the new PDF via the use of some scripting that can go along with the link, or via the use of a button that can force the new form to open in a new browser window? It is impractical for us to expect 1500 faculty members to change their browser settings to open new PDF's in a new window. We have removed the links for now and have just put in text that says if they select yes they need to go out and complete the additional form.
The form we are using can be found here: http://spo.usu.edu/files/uploads/SP-01.pdf
The first three questions on page two where we reference the other forms is where we would like to be able to add the links to the new forms and have them open in a new browser window. When the form is downloaded and opened in Adobe Acrobat/Reader the links functioned correctly, it just did not function properly when it opens in a browser.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer in regards to this issue.

I used a button, removed the border/fill properties and underlined the caption to look like a URL.
The click event is...
// form1.page1.subform1.urlBtn::click - (JavaScript, client)
app.launchURL("http://spo.usu.edu/files/uploads/SP-01.pdf",true);
The PDF will open in a new window or tab, depending upon the browser configuration.

Is there a good way to automate changing existing links to external PDFs to instead be to PDF attachments with same names?

Greetings!
Can anyone tell me a good way to automate changing a "main" PDF's existing hyperlinks to external PDFs to instead be links to PDF attachments to the main PDF (the attached PDFs to have the same filenames as the external PDFs) ?
Format of current link in main PDF:
Go to a page in another document
File: C:\\path\filename.pdf
Destination name: P:1
When link is manually changed to link to a PDF that has been attached to the main PDF:
Go to a page in another document
File: PDF attachment
Page: 1
Zoom level: Fit page
The new PDF link does not list the PDF attachment filename in the link.
The main PDF (the one that has the links that I would like to automatically change) is generated with the hyperlinks to other PDFs from Adobe FrameMaker 11. In FrameMaker11, we added special marker text "openpage filename.pdf:1" that is "automatically" changed to be hyperlinks to external PDFs when the main PDF is created (postscript file is processed) by Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.
My first choice is to be able to change the format of the special marker text in Adobe FrameMaker source file, but I have not found way to specify a link to be to a PDF attachment with a certain filename.
However, I would also really like the option of running a batch file on a main PDF to change the links there.
Has anyone tried using that Adobe ExtendScript ToolKit CS6 to do this? That is, a script that could automatically modify the hyperlinks in a PDF to link to PDF attachments rather than external PDFs, or else modify the unprocessed links while they are still in Postscript file format, or else modify the marker text in FrameMaker to instead of creating a link to a PDF in the same directory as the main PDF being processed, to create a link to a PDF attachment files?
Thank you,
Judith Wallace

FrameMaker's Hypertext feature has no ability to "link" to an attachment on/in a target PDF.
PDFs sourced from FM can have named destinations set in the FM authoring files such that a link from file01.fm to the specified named destination in file01.fm will be functional in the PDFs created from the FM files.
Then, of course, there's the dynamics possible by use o FM Books. But that's the grist for the mills at the FM user-2-user forum.
RE: Scripting - PDF scripting is via Acrobat JavaScript. That something still of and by Adobe although it may migrate to an ISO Standard (or be rolled up in a future ISO 32000).
So, to the point - look to Acrobat JavaScript for scripting.
Be well...

No. I am able to use the other features such as underlining, highlighting, adding rectangles and oval and save those changes.

Issue while converting turkish text in PDF via SMARTFORMS

Hello Experts ,
We are currently involved in translating an application to Turkish. Though the translation is completely done, when we test the issue we find that the application is working perfectly with the Turkish text but the transfer of data from application to the PDF via SMARTFORM is not working correctly. We find that the issue is due to 3 characters in Turkish which are (Ğ,İ,ş), We found out that this issue can be resolved using the OSS Note 625818.
However we have another issue which has cropped up.
Wherever certain characters are being printed the characters right after them are printing at the same location and thus overlapping.
For eg:
Whenever the character u201CIu201D is printed it is being overlapped by the character which is supposed to be printed after it instead of printing next to it.
Should be - İN
Currently - both are overlapping
Any idea on how can this be fixed?
when I actually tried to copy the text from PDF and paste it in this email the character u201CIu201D is replaced by the character u201CÝu201D in this email text box.
Please find below the actual text from the PDF. The u201C u201D is seen nowhere and is replaced by the u201CÝu201D.
GÖREVÝN DEGERLENDÝRÝLMES
we have found a solution for the same which is to give a tab space between the İ and N but this will lead to unnecessery space in the application.
Thank You!
Best Regards
Bonny

Safari, when I hover over a link, doesn't show the web address, +Hotmail qu

Hi, two questions.
New to safari, when I hover over a link it doesn't display the web address, is there a way to turn this on or is it not available in Safari.
In regard to Hotmail, is there a way to synch up Hotmail with Mail in leopard so that when I click an email address it allows me to send via hotmail.
If not, how do you find out the email address, because when I click it, just takes me to mail and doesn't allow me to at least view what the email address is, so I can manually send it via Hotmail.
Thanks for your time.

Unintended Links Encrypted in PDF?

Hi Adobeians, I am experiencing an issue with Indesign/Acrobat where almost all of my PDF exports have this encrypted link that I cannot get rid of. I have tried re-typing the text, and in most cases it works and in other cases it does not. I have checked the links panel and the it shows there are no links in the file.
It wouldn't matter so much but since these brochures are being hosted to our company page, if a customer clicks on the link it opens up their mail program (which is weird because this occurs on any/all of the text.)
I attached what it looks like when I hover over text with this mystery link encryption. Please help! Thanks everyone.

Found the solution myself. It's a default setting in the newer versions of Acrobat which searches for text which looks like web addresses. To turn this setting off, go to Preferences > General > and uncheck "Create Links from URLs."
Here is the source where I found the solution: http://indesignsecrets.com/why-are-my-hyperlinks-still-working.php

Does anyone else have problems with built in website url links in a PDF not working in iBooks?

I have several magazine PDF files that have lots of website url links built in to them.
When I click the links when viewing the PDFs via iBooks they often don't work.
However, the exact same PDF when viewing/clicking using other PDF apps like GoodReader work perfectly fine.
Nothing else is different except which app I am using to view the PDFs.
Anyone?

It would appear iBook app doesn't support hyperlinks except within a document.

Linking to another PDF file

Obviously in Acrobat you can setup links to another PDF file. And I understand you can do that in Designer but as I can see, the only way is to do it via a URL/browser. Importing a PDF into Designer doesn't preserve the link. Looked in the documentation but I didn't find anything so far. Is this where one would use subforms? I just want a button to open another PDF file in Reader basically.
Thanks
Jzach

The "Open File" action is limited in its ability to actually
kick off external applications. As a rule of thumb it is best used
to redirect the user to HTML documents - and of course, opening any
file can be problematic if the end-user's computer has no valid
"association" to the linked file-type in his/her machine's system
registry.
For instance, if an AVI file is targeted, it will be a
crap-shoot what application will be used to display it (if any). On
one machine, Windows Media Player might be opened to play the AVI,
and on another, perhaps a DiVX player or maybe even Flash (though
not likely).

Want to delete the "submit" link on a pdf

I just created a fillable pdf that is only to be completed, then downloaded and printed and then mailed to with a paper check. How do I delete the "submit" button on this pdf?

Hi,
I believe this is a form that you created with FormsCentral and then you downloaded/saved as PDF via the "Save Submission-Enabled PDF" button via the Distribute Tab.
Please select via FormsCentral app main menu:
- File -> Save As PDF Form... and then
- when you get the dialog "Would you like your PDF form to collect responses online in the "View Responses" tab?" select "Don't Collect Responses" button.
This will save the PDF form without the Submit button/link.
Thanks,
Lucia
