Missing .PNG link in PDF file

I need to modify text in pdf file but getting .png missing error in Ai and need help. I am learning so please bear with me.
I have to modify text in a PDF file which also contain images. When i open pdf in Acrobat, it shows everything correctly but when i open PDF file in Adobe Illustrator CS5, it complaints on missing <FileName>.PNG, and ask me to point out the folder where .png is located, and i dont have it because i only got PDF. When i click on ignore the complain then it shows the pdf without the image, and some text boxes i need to modify (which i suppose were part of the link as well). I can re-create text boxes but for missing image, i am guessing I have to copy paste the images from the opended PDF file in Acrobat, and then adjust the background in Photoshop to make it work to blend into the PDF file (because after i copy the image it show black background  behind the objects and via Acrobat it only shows the objects with transparent background), but i dont have Photoshop to correct it. Pardon me, but this to me looks like tool deficiency, one tool shows the other does not or may be PDF should not be opened in AI for modifications.
If latter is correct then what is the best practice to modify the design when you do not have the design/ai file and have PDF only?
Any recommendations how can i resolve the missing .png issue?

Pardon me, but this to me looks like tool deficiency,
No, it isn't. You just don't understand how it works (no offense). The PDF was saved with AI editing capabilities and when present, AI favors this part of the PDF file over the native PDF data. Hence you run into trouble. Had whoever sent you the file just sent a flattened PDF, AI would open it at the cost of possibly creating a mess on other ends. You simply cannot have both. The fault is with the workflow and how the fiels were created in the first place. Similarly, copy&pasting content from Acrobat to otehr programs such as you do is working perfectly correct. Transparency handling is diffewrent between programs and additionally, color space conversion issues may figure in. all Acrobat ever knows and cares about is the flattened result, which is just the baked appearance, not something meant for extensive editing. So to cut a long story short: Feel free to employ the patching method involvin Acro, PS and AI that you already described yourself, but if you ask me, the smarter thing to do would simply be to request that missing PNG...

  • How to create link for pdf file in discoverer worksheet

    Hi All,
    I would like to create a link for pdf file into discoverer report (worksheet).
    So that i can open linked pdf file using worksheet link.
    Can any one tell me about this?
    Thanks
    Ravi

    Hi,
    I think the best way to do this is to use a database directory so that you can access your pdf file as a bfile. Then create a mod_plsql procedure that sets the mime type and downloads the pdf file. You then create a calculation in the EUL then returns the URL to your mod_plsql procedure. You can then include this calculation as a hyperlink in your worksheet.
    It is not as difficult as it sounds. Please let me know if you need anymore details.

  • Linking to PDF files in HTMLResources.zip file with Windows 8.1 Viewer

    I have followed the instructions from 'DPS Tips' regarding creating a HTML Resources folder and compressing  the PDF files etc... It works on IOS Viewer but it doesn't work on Windows 8.1 Viewer.
    Is linking to PDF files in HTMLResources.zip file  support for Windows Viewer?
    Thanks

    Hi Bob,
    I do not understand, you're telling me that if I set my default browser to Chrome on Windows 8.1, the Viewer works with, or does the Indesign Folio Preview works?

  • Links to pdf files created in DW not working

    Linking a pdf file to an html page where the expectation is that clicking on the link will display the pdf file in the browser is common. A page that I created would not display my linked pdf files. Google searches suggest this is a common problem with perhaps a variety of causes.
    I found that the solution to my problem was to remove my "mark of the web" statement. When this <!-- saved from url=(0014)about:internet --> appeared on my web page, pdf links would not open in my browser; when I removed the "mark of the web," all worked fine.

    Personally I always download pdfs for offline reading.
    I do, too.
    As a courtesy, I always tell site visitors what they are clicking on and the file size.   If you want to force a download, you can zip the PDF file ahead of time, and post a link to the zip file.

  • How to validate all hyperlinks, including links in pdf files?

    Dreamweaver's link checker only checks links in html files. Is there's a Dreamweaver plug in I could use to check links (all kinds of links) in pdf files on my site?  I haven't been able to find one and would appreciate suggestions. Thanks.

    Not a DW extension but look at Xenu's Link Sleuth.

  • Links to PDF files with relative paths from a Captivate 4 project

    I'm creating a presentation in Captivate 4 (I'm making an exe file) with some links to PDF files; the links are buttons with the 'open URL or file' set. The presentation will be distributed in CDs and obviously the links will not work for they point to an absolute path in my PC. Is there another way to display external files? thanks

    "file:\file folder\filename" is not a relative path.  It's still an absolute path because you're specifying the path all the way from the root drive, whether you used a drive letter or not.
    A relative path shows where to find the other file in relation to the file that is calling it.
    Relative paths look like this:
    myDoc.doc (if the file is in the same directory as the file calling it)
    folderName/myDoc.doc (if the file is inside a folder in the same directory as the file calling it)
    ../myDoc.doc (if the file is located in the parent directory above the file that is calling it)
    ../../myDoc.doc (if the file is located two levels above the file that is calling it)
    etc
    Here's a tutorial that explains it better: http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=230ad

  • Insert/link a PDF file in MM02 transaction.

    hi
    I would like to know if it is possible to insert/link a PDF file in MM02 transaction.
    Please let me now something.

    Hi Vale,
      I think that it would be possible to insert the pdf file to the MM02 transaction: Please try following the below steps:
    1) Follow the path : MM02 -> System -> Service for Object -> Create -> Create External Document (URL).
    2) You will get a popup saying "Create a link for Web page".
    3) Fill in the required details as per the requirement. Give the appropriate title, Location for the file to be attached ( Path ),
    4) Click on Execute button, SAVE.
    Note: Please remember to provide the file extension like .pdf while attaching the file. Else the file wont be displayed when you try to display the attached file.
    Thanks

  • RH9 TOC Links to PDF files are quirky

    I have a project that consists of TOC book links to PDF files. In RH6 I always just manually popped them into the \!SSL!\WebHelp folder and linked to them from TOC books because importing them into the project took days. Or 20 minutes at least. Some of these files were 300 pages, so I manually loaded the smaller files too, to maintain procedural consistency. Either way, manually loading them is fastest so it just makes sense.
    I'm doing this in RH9, and it works just fine in the live project. The problem is in Robohelp. No sooner do I close the project and reopen it, but all the books have question marks with crosses through them as if they have broken links. They do not.  The links are STILL fine, and when I compile the project they open, just as they should. In RH6 this wasn't remotely an issue.
    Is this a bug? I went back and redid the links twice before realizing it wasn't me, it was Robohelp. So whenever I open a project that has a TOC book link to an outside file, like a .pdf, or .ppt, or xls or whatever, is this going to happen? I lose visual clues for the broken links because they ALL appear to be broken?

    Hi Maureen
    I used to encounter this all the time with RoboHelp X5. And it coaxed me into developing what I feel is an interesting and more reliable approach.
    Have you noticed that even on a fast intranet it seems to take an inordinate amount of time to open a PDF? I mean, with most of your topics, the user clicks and nearly instantly something happens. The topic generally loads right up in the topic pane. But a PDF, Word document or other file seems to take eons to load. Well, comparatively.
    So I developed this thing I referred to as a "docfetch". Basically, I created regular RoboHelp topics. Linked those topics to the books pages or whatever. Then configured those topics to redirect to the PDF, Word document or other.
    The expected benefit was that because I was now actually linking to topics in the project, those funky mysteriously broken links in the TOC disappeared. The unexpected side benefit was that users then saw an immediate response to clicking the link. I configured each of these topics to present some verbiage to the effect that they should please wait as the document was being opened. This put a stop to users reporting that things were "broken" as they then saw an immediate response.
    The code you need will be placed in the HTML of the topic. Just insert it somewhere in the Head area.
    <meta HTTP-EQUIV=refresh CONTENT="3;URL=File_Name.pdf">
    Of course you will want to adjust it to suit your own needs. For example, the line above is configured for a 3 second delay. You may want a shorter (or longer) delay. And you would adjust File_Name.pdf to reflect the path and file name of the PDF (or other file) you are linking to.
    Hope this helps... Rick
