Stamp loses hyperlink in Acrobat 9 Pro

At my former job, I had Acrobat professional (V8??) and used stamps quite a lot to add to an already finished document. This stamp had my email adress linked to my email adress and my www.adress linked to my url. I use Acrobat 9 PRO now under windows XP, just to discover, that if I make a new pdf document out of this MS WORD document, this will have the links I want just fine. But: if I use this newly created pdf document which is fine and use it as a stamp in another document, the links are not there anymore vanished in the adobe orcus. I have been reading all day, and found no solution.
Maybe I should have a work-around, but I used this method often, and it was perfect. Help? Hilfe? Thanks!

Another addition - I was busy.. I also tried "backgrounds". Made another "stamp-like" pdf with working links. Looks beautiful, but then I use it as a background and guess what: links won't show. What the h....
Thanks for reading this and DANKE for any more suggestions!

Skype hyperlinking in Acrobat Pro XI

Hello!
I try to hyperlinking a "Skype call" in a PDF file with Acrobat Pro! I read numerous sites about that...
I do not want to any skype button just a hyperlink to my phone number. So after somebody click on it Skype will launch and begin calling my phone number!
It works fine with MS Word, but in Acrobat I can not figure out what the problem is!
I tried Javascripts, hyperlinks, and did not find any solution!
Thank you

I developed a script that converts phone numbers in a PDF to Skype-links, so I have a bit of experience with how to do it. Basically you need to launch a URL using the "skype" protocol. With JS it will look something like this:
app.launchURL("skype:324234234?call");
Clicking a button that has this code associated with it will launch the browser, and then launch Skype and open the Dial dialog with the specified number.

Create a file in illustrator - then create hyperlinks in Acrobat Pro - if need to re-edit in illustrator loose hyperlinks

Hi, i have created a very detailed map in illustrator CS4 (PDF file). Then i wanted to add hyperlinks, so i opened the pdf file in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to put the links on. everything worked perfectly. Then i had to change something on my map - so i opened the PDF file in Illustrator and all the hyperlinks are gone. HELP. what am i doing wrong? how do i keep the links. (it is not the sort of edit that i could do in adobe acrobat pro - it is a design and move things around type edit)
thank you.

You would be best off replacing pdf pages in your existing linked pdf.
Edit your original Illustrator file and creating a pdf of that. Replace (don't delete!) pages in your existing linked pdf with your updated pdf. The links will remain and you'll have the updated image you need. It is also a better work flow to maintain your Illustrator file.

How do I search a document for hyperlinks in Acrobat Pro XI?

Running Windows 7 Enterprise -- It seems neither the advanced nor simple search option includes a check box for hyperlinks in a search. What am I missing?

That method has worked for me before with external URL's; however, I am attempting to enumerate links to sections, figures and tables within a large document. Another way to do it (for this particular document, as it happens) is by adding tags via the Accessibility tool, but this process is tedious and the accessibility problems Acrobat found are mostly spurious, found just by luck.
All I want is a wildcard regular expression search and a check box to include all links in my search, like how the search function worked in previous versions of Acrobat.

How to edit hyperlink properties in Acrobat Pro 9?

I'm trying to edit a PDF document (generated from Windows Word) on my Mac with Acrobat Pro 9.
What I want to do is make the borders invisible, because in Mac Preview the hyperlinks appear with ugly boxes around them. Apparently when no borderWidth property is set, Acrobat Reader defaults to a value of 0, but Preview defaults to a value of 1.
I selected Tools > Advanced Editing > Link tool and can see all the hyperlink boxes.
But I can't find a way to edit their properties.
I tried double-clicking on the rectangles, which is what it says to do in the manual, but nothing happens.
I tried control-click on a rectangle and a dialog pops up. I select properties from the dialog, but no properties appear.
Anybody know how to get this to work?
Thanks,
doug

Wow GQDiaz,
What a wonderful gift you have given us! You have saved me hours of shuffling pages one by one between large cumbersome document scans.
Your script works like a dream. Thank you for this gift.

Hyperlinks in PDF fail when security turned on Acrobat Pro 6

The InDesign CS created buttons I exported to PDF stop working when I apply security to not permit changes to document. The other bookmark type hyperlinks work. The external hyperlinks work. Just not the button types.
Using Acrobat 6, OS X 10.4.11, Power PC G4.
Can anyone help?

Why does working with Stamps cause Acrobat Pro XI to crash on close

Although other people in my organization have been experiencing crashes several times a day with Acrobat Pro XI (usually from stamping PDFs and closing Acrobat), I've just started receiving crashes after working on custom Stamps. This hasn't happened before to me. What is so special about the stamps that might be causing these crashes?
Our users using Acrobat for scanning receive the crash message "Adobe Acrobat has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Charlie

Hi George - a few divisions have stamps with JavaScript to query user to enter a date and time document was stamped. Most of the users do not. Just a set of static signature and File stamps. The File stamps have fields that contain custom calculation scripts to always display the current date and time of stamping. This was never a problem in Acrobat 9 Pro, though. Some crashes have occured just scanning through Acrobat without touching the stamps. Thanks for the quick reply and would appreciate if you have any more I can look into.

Dynamic Stamps Not Working in Adobe Acrobat Pro

Hi everyone, the dynamic stamps on Adobe Simultaneous Review are no longer working for us. I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 (it works for me) but it's not working for many other people (they have Adobe Acrobat Pro X). Does anyone know how we can fix this. I think the problem started occurring a few months ago.
Many Thanks!
Joy

You can shutting down Acrobat and then try moving (DO NOT DELETE - you may want put them back afterward if this doesn't work) the Collab and Sync folder out of the User's Acrobat folder and then rejoin the Shared Review to see if the Dynamic Stamps reappear.

Hyperlinks missing after converting Word 03 docs to PDF using Acrobat Pro 9.

I'm having an issue when I convert a Word 2003 doc using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to pdf that the hyperlinks are disappearing. I've had success with this in the past but for some reason now the hyperlinks never carry over or show up in the pdf. I also have a good amount of bookmarks making up a table of contents within my word doc that aren't making the conversion either.
I've spent a few hours thumbing through options in both the pdf printer and word as well as searching online with no luck.
Kind regards,
Tim

Alright, I've got link creation process working again.
However, now I have another technical issue with how the links are being handled.
My work has an Intranet site that these Polices and Procedures are being accessed from (http://is-intranet/policiesandprocedures/). For some reason when you open one of these forms on our Intranet site and click one of the embedded links (that are linking to another one of the Policy and Procedure PDFs) it's adding extra text to the path. i.e. open 2.01 Employee Handbook when I click a link embedded in that form to http://is-intranet/policiesandprocedures/3.01 Technology Usage Policy it's adding an extra is-intranet to the beginning of the path http://is-intranet/is-intranet/policiesandprocedures/3.01 Technology Usage Policy causing it to not open.
I cannot seem to prevent this from happening. Now, if I go through the form and look at the link it's correct and if re-link it to the other form everything works fine and the path of the link in the PDF doesn't change. But now the link works correctly when opening the forms from our Intranet Site.
It's a very confusing issue.

Can I create a custom-scripted dynamic stamp in Acrobat Standard or do I have to buy Acrobat Pro?

I am researching options for the company I work for to take it's invoicing system paperless and I need to know if I can create a custom-scripted dynamic stamp in Acrobat Standard or is that possible only in Acrobat Pro?

You can create a custom dynamic stamp in Std. and Pro. and you can use the dynamic stamp in Reader as well. Here is an infographic on Creating a Custom Dynamic Stamp in Acrobat XI.

Dynamic stamps with Acrobat Pro X

Help needed!
How to create own dynamic stamps with Acrobat Pro X, without any knowledge of programming.
It was very easy with the program used before (Nuance); unfortunally it's not possible to export from Nuance to Acrobat.
Thanks in advance
vtosi

It can't be done without using a script, and not a very simple one, either.
There are detailed tutorials about how to do it, for example here:
http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials
If you're interested in someone to create the stamp (and all the required
scripts) for you, feel free to contact me by PM or at [email protected] .

Update to Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.10 won't allow stamps to be published

Since updating to Acrobat Pro 10.1.10, the dynamic stamps for approval and review during a review are no longer retained after publishing comments. The comments are retained but the stamps are not. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? It just started with the update yesterday. If I uninstall the update and return to the Acrobat Pro version 10.0.0, the stamps work. It has got to be an issue with this particular update.

We are also having this issue. found another link describing the problem here: Dynamic Stamps won't publish after Acrobat ProX update to 10.1.10 (Review & approve)
supposedly (though not confirmed) 11.0.7 also has this issue.

Acrobat Pro X - Hyperlinks don't work

We upgraded to Acrobat Pro X. When converting a Visio document to Acrobat, the hyperlinks quit working. These are Arrows that are used to move forward and backward between the multiple pages in the document. Not linking to an external source. These worked in Adobe 8.

I can confirm that behavior in Acrobat 9 Pro (and in Acrobat X Pro as well!). I unchecked all the options in the Optimize dialog except for changing Images (unchecking all the options to discard various kind of data). It should not remove hyperlinks but it does. I've never notice (or heard about that) before.
I would tweak your PDF settings in QuarkXPress to reduce file size (or downsample images ahead of time if Quark is not capable of doing that).

Acrobat Pro X - Hyperlinked PDF's not displaying correctly

After installing Acrobat Pro X we are having issues when clicking hyperlinks to PDF files from webpages.
If we click a link to a Multi paged document it opens everytime to the top of page 2.
If it is a one page document it opens at the bottom of page 1
There don't seem to be any exceptions to this rule. It is happening on all 6 computers in our office all running Windows XP SP3. Browser is IE8
Is this a known fault? Is anyone else having the same issues?

I am experiencing this same problem.
Now that I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro, documents clicked on in ANY web browser: Firefox, I.E., Safari... all open DIRECTLY to page 2... even when I have them set in preferences to open on page 1.
What's up with this?
Have you found a solution?
