PDF hyperlinks in iWeb

Hi people,
I'm having problems with PDF hyperlinks in iWeb (version 1.1.2)
I highlight a word, I use the inspector to enable hyperlink, I link to a PDF file, I choose a name. Simple, but it doesn't work.
I can't open/download my PDF file.. (these are files from Word saved as PDF)
My download/preview window doesn't even appear..
Can anyone help?

  • PDF files in iWeb

    How can you put PDF files into iWeb so people can download and print them. (I am a teacher and want my students to be able to download my notes.)
    Thanks for your help!

    In general, you can hyperlink a file by setting it up in iWeb Inspector's Link tab as "Link To: A File. The following video tutorial shows an example of a PDF document being linked for downloading, but it can alternatively be an MP3 or other file:
    http://www.apple.com/findouthow/web/iweb08.html#tutorial=nav
    Note that you won't be able to test the hyperlink in iWeb itself — only after publishing will you be able to test the hyperlink in a browser.
    A PDF hyperlinked in iWeb as "A File" will open in the current browser window/tab. At the bottom of this test page (not mine) there are a couple of text links to PDFs — click on them and see what happens...

    ...In Safari 3, you can move the cursor to the bottom of the PDF page to display a small black control window.

  • Pdf download on iweb

    is there a way to put a link to download a pdf document using iweb 08?
    thanks

    Yes,
    Insert a text box or picture or whatever. Open inspector and navigate to the hyperlink tool (it's next to last). Select whatever it is you want linked. Select "Enable as Hyperlink" in the inspector. In the "Link to" box in the drop down menu, select "a file." Now navigate to the PDF file you want and select choose.

  • How can I create an internal hyperlink in iWeb? Would like to put an interactive menu at the top of a page.

    How can I create an internal hyperlink in iWeb? Would like to put an interactive menu at the top of a page.

    Do you meant a link to one of your other pages or to a location on one of your pages?  If it's the latter those are called anchors and iWeb does not support them.  However, there are workarounds for that.  See this blog: How to use anchors in iWeb.  If you don't have a lot of widgets on the page it can work fairly well.

  • Pdf hyperlink and CF

    I am developing a coldfusion web application that contains a
    page displaying a pdf created in Autocad. The pdf contains a
    building's layout and a hyperlink has been created in each of the
    rooms containing the room number.
    The question is - how can I get CF to:-
    1) Detect the user clicking on the hyperlink in the pdf
    2) Pick up the room number contained in the hyperlink
    3) Prepend the correct forwarding page information in front
    of the room number
    4) Get CF to then navigate to that page (in the same window)
    I do not want to hard code the full URL into the pdf
    hyperlink as the system may move servers etc in the future.
    Hope this makes sense!
    Regards

    I think the problem might be that PDF's are opened locally
    from the client so there is no context to resolve a relative URL.
    Suggestion:
    Dedicate a domain name to the location of your .cfm page and
    hard code that URL into the PDF hyperlinks. If the system changes
    servers, just remap the domain in the DNS to point to the new
    location.
    Hope that helps.

  • .pdf hyperlinks in word open in Internet Explorer instead of Firefox

    I have website addresses copied and pasted into a word document, which automatically makes them a hyperlink. Normal website addresses open fine in firefox (which is my default browser) when I Ctrl+click on them. Web links to a .pdf, however, open Internet Explorer and then open in Adobe Acrobat inside Internet Explorer. How can I get .pdf links to open in Firefox when I Ctrl+click on them?

    I have the same problem (roughly) - I have PDF hyperlinks in an Excel spreadsheet and, when clicked, instead of them opening directly in Acrobat (or via Firefox, my default browser), they open via IE. Regular HTML links in the Excel spreadsheet open in Firefox.
    I have enabled the '''Block PDF files' access to all web sites''' option under ''Trust Manager'' category in the Adobe Reader ''Preferences'' tab.
    I have also disabled the '''Adobe PDF Link Helper''' Extension in the ''Manage Add-ons'' tab in IE.
    Obviously, neither of these settings made any difference.
    * Windows XP Pro SP3
    * Microsoft Office Excel 2003 SP3
    * Internet Explorer 8.0

  • Changing hyperlinks in iweb

    when i attempted to reformat the hyperlinks in iweb, it wouldn't allow me to change anything on the site. i disabled the links, went to formatting and won't allow anything.
    any ideas?

    glad to help. I have been daydreaming about a third-party iWeb master site...where all the other sites are linking to. It would hold all the knowledge folks have learned over the years, and it would still be up if Apple deep sixes this iWeb discussion group.
    There are so many little hints and tricks that make using iWeb so much more fun. I know there a lot of folks here who have their own iweb help sites, but it will take a ton of google search to find them after this focus for iWeb users goes dark...if it fact, it does.

  • PDF document on iWeb page - Can't get hyperlinks to work

    I have dragged a .pdf file which contains working hyperlinks onto my iWeb page. The .pdf file displays properly but the hyperlinks are inactive. Is there a way to make them work? I do not wish to use an iFrame because I don't want the clickable links to open in the iFrame.

    Hi Old Toad,
    Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure I understand. My PDF file, which originated as a Numbers table, contains a numbered list with hyperlinks to outside sites. I exported the Numbers document as a .pdf, then dragged that onto the iWeb page. I see that if it is being converted to an image, the links won't work once placed on the iWeb page. When I tried to use the iFrame widget from your site, here: http://web.me.com/toad.hall/Demo1/Scrolling_TextBox.html, the links worked but the URLs opened right in the frame. Is there a solution that will make the links open in another window given that my file is made in a Numbers file converted to PDF? Thanks much for your help and for all the great resources on your site....

  • Is it possible to hyperlink a PDF file within iWeb?

    i understand the fact that the pdf file is on my computer and other users cannot access the file; however, the reason i made the pdf in the first place was to keep it off of iweb. i feel as if iweb slows down and/or generally has problems digesting larger files. my real question is: what do i need to do to my pdf file in order to make it accessible to those trying to access it off of iweb?
    any help would be greatly appreciated–this is for my design portfolio and the sooner it's online, the sooner i get paid!

  • Hyperlink to iWeb Page not working

    I have created an iWeb page. I have a hyperlink to the page on a document. The hyperlink takes me to a mobile me error page ie "We can't find the page you requested. Please make sure the URL is spelled and capitalized correctly, and try again."
    Yet if I copy and paste the exact same url I have entered in the hyperlink filed into the address bar on Safari it goes to the right page no problems.
    Any ideas please?

    Is that the page you're trying to link to in the PDF document?
    I was able to place a hyperlink in an rtfd text file and and Word 2008 document to your web page that works. The link in the Word document takes about 5 to 7 seconds to get to Safari and open the Page. The rtfd document, created with Bean
    Bean, a great, free word processor, opens the page in Safari almost immediately.
    In Work I used the Insert ➙ Hyperlink menu option and entered the URL of you page and the text to use as the link. For the Bean document I clicked and dragged the link title at the top of your web page onto the Bean page and saved as a rtfd formatted file. If the page is saved as a plain text document the hyperlink is lost.
    Click to view full size
    If I do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save as PDF from Bean I get a working link in the resulting PDF file. But with Word the link does not work.

  • Is there a maximum file size (or number of hyperlinks) for iWeb?

    This isn't a problem, just a concern. I've built a very large iWeb file to keep track of a genealogy project and the file is getting big: there are 1800+ people listed in the file, each with her/his individual page; each page has a minimum of 6 hyperlinks (links to parents, children, indexes and home page); and the size of the iWeb domain file is approaching 600MB. It's a tiny file compared to Wikipedia, but I'm seeing the pinwheel "cursor of death" for c. 30 seconds whenever I launch iWeb and getting a bit nervous. Am I getting close to some sort of size/complexity limit for the iWeb program? Thanks in advance for any advice. (By the way, I don't plan to publish the genealogy on any sites; I always publish it to DVD-ROMs for family use only, so uploading is not a concern.)

    David ~ Probably. iWeb simply wasn't designed to do what you're doing with it. Although iWeb may not have a numerical limit on size or links, bear in mind that it was designed for small personal sites.
    One thing you could do to reduce the size is post some of your data on an external site such as Posterous and hyperlink to it. Posterous will automatically place PDFs in a convenient viewer, e.g.
    http://dont-panic.posterous.com
    By the way, the PDF there was converted from Posterous' web page via this:
    _Free online URL to PDF Converter_
    And Weebly allows sub-pages (and sub-sub-pages) accessible via drop-down menu. This might allow you to organize your data in a more structured way than iWeb allows:

  • Embedding a pdf file in iWeb on a remote server

    I am having no success in embedding a compressed/zip pdf file in my website using iWeb. When I upload the page it reverts the link of the file to www.apple.com/support -
    If I add the same file in a new site on my mobileme account it works
    Is it not possible to embed files on remotes servers using iWeb?
    Would appreciate your feedback!

    You can embed files this way using "Link to: A file" in the link inspector but this is not the best way as the file has to load with the web page and therefore slows the page download in the browser.
    Create a download folder, put your zipped PDFs into it and upload it to your server. On the webpage, create a text of hyperlink to the file.....
    http://www.website.com/DownloadFolder/FileName.pdf.zip
    When clicked in the browser this link will cause the file to be downloaded to the viewer's desktop.

  • Updating pdf files in iweb site

    I have a site with several pdf files linked throughout the site. These pdf's get updated regularly, and I assumed that if I replace them with a new file named the same, it would update on the website. Strangely it does not.
    The only way I can get the pdf links to go to the new document is to break the link and then re-establish it. Even though the old file doesn't exist any more (has been replaced), it still persistently shows up.
    While I can continue to do this, it is tedious as multiple documents are linked on multiple pages throughout the site.
    Have tried publish and publish all. Is their any way to force iweb to use the new pdf files, or is there a different way to link them in the first place?
    The whole idea was so that multiple people could upload content to my public folder (schedules, lists, etc) in pdf and update the info without having to mess with the site.

    Instead of creating a hyperlink and then choose a file, put the pdf(s) on the server yourself first.
    Create a separate folder for them.
    Then determine the URL(s) to the file(s).
    In iWeb add a hyperlink *to an external page*. Use one of the URLs to the pdfs.
    Now you can update the pdf without iWeb.

    Thanks
    Yes you can, and I don't think you have to concern yourself with iDisk. Here's what iWeb's Help viewer says:
    To create a hyperlink:
    Select the text or object you want to turn into a hyperlink.
    If the Link Inspector isn’t open, click Inspector in the toolbar (or choose View > Show Inspector), and then click the Link Inspector button.
    In the Link Inspector, select “Enable as a hyperlink,” and then choose "A File" option from the Link To pop-up menu:
    A File: Downloads a file to the visitor’s computer. (The file is part of your website; visitors won’t have access to your computer.)<<< </div>
    ...Choose your PDF file.
    Note: The downloadability won't be apparant in iWeb - only when you've published the site will you be able to click on the link in a browser and test that the PDF downloads correctly.
