Text Hyperlink from PDF (converted Word doc) to specific Excel cell in same Portfolio

Good Morning,
I have created a Word document with an embedded Excel sheet (both Office 2007) and created a text hyperlink within the document that points to a specific cell on a specific tab. My company wants to send our document to a customer, but will only send PDFs. When converting to PDF the hyperlink does not work any longer.
To make the behaviour in Word one must open the embedded Excel object to the specific sheet and then copy the specific cell in question. In Word choose Paste as Hyperlink. Press Alt+F9 and then change HYPERLINK to hyperLINK. Press Alt+F9. Edit the Settings of the Hyperlink and change the Text to Display.
Is there a way to do this with Acrobat 10? The plus side would be that the Excel document would not be embedded in Word although it would still need the Document ID of the Excel file in the portfolio. Futhermore, the Word document won't be included in the portfolio.

While Acrobat cannot pass opening parameters to non-PDF files it can do so for PDF (under specific circumstances).
See the "Parameters for Opening PDF Files" document at:

Be well...

  • When I converted a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text.  How can I solve this problem?

    When I tried to convert a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text.  How do I solve this problem?  I don't know how to change it from Read Only.

    Dear Sara
    Thank you very much for sending the converted file.  Yes, I am able to edit it - that will be very useful to me and I appreciate your help.
    Referring to your previous message when you said you'd converted via Acrobat and not Acrobat.com, I'm converting via Acrobat.com because that's the only option that is shown (how do I convert via Acrobat? - perhaps that would be more successful).  I'm using the Export PDF website, and the OCR is enabled to "Recognize text in English UK".  However, I've just tried converting a different LPA pdf form, this time for Health & Welfare https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/245571/LPA114_He alth_welfare_LPA.pdf and again I have the same problem as before.  I've altered it from "Read only" and thought I'd then be able to enter text, but "Drawing Tools" is shown in the pane and I'm unable to enter anything onto the form - everything appears to be in images.  Also, the lettering on the heading of' page 1 has become jumbled, with the word "Public" overlaying the word "Guardian."  Any suggestions as to what it is I'm doing wrong would be welcome - I don't like to be beaten!
    Regards,
    Judith.

  • I paid to convert a file from pdf to Word doc. and it is unintelligible. Why ?

    I paid to convert a file from pdf to Word and it is unintelligible. Why ?

    Hi M & B P,
    Please give the following a try:
    If you're converting via the ExportPDF website, log out, clear the cache, and then log back in.
    If you're converting from within Reader, choose Help > Check for Updates to make sure that you have the most current version.
    Please let us know how it goes. If you're still having problems, please let us know how you're converting, what browser you're using, and whether you're on Mac OS and Windows. We'll do some deeper digging if need be.
    Best,

  • Hyperlinks in PDF'd word doc

    hyeperlinks aren't happening after I PDF a Word doc. I'd be soooo grateful for right answer on this - the hyperlink feature is the whole point for me to have Pro.
    thanks so much.

    There is a PDF Creator
    from Code-Poetry http://www.codepoetry.net/projects/cups-pdf-for-mosx
    That will do it.  install. install it and if word has any hyperlinks when you go to Printer:
    The will Transfer over with no problem :
    Note the two email adresses show in this png one is mine that now goes to a spam dump email address for me.
    the other belonged to a cousin but she changed providers so this email address doesn't exist. Plus this a PNG representation and is not clickable
    this was a copy of an email that was  was converted to a word document  to be used in a family tree item on my website.
    In or to do this in acrobat I actually have to go to advanced menu then choose create to a url, or a  mailto
    This Utility actually proves a point, MS has been making about needed information to create URLs and Mailtos are in word Mac and have been all along.

  • Converting from PDF to Word doc: Text in Fields disappears. What to do?

    Hi,
    I have a PDF template I filled out, for the cover of my thesis, which included 3 fields.  I am using the trial version of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, and saved the filled in template as a new PDF. So far, so good.  However, I need to covert the PDF into Word. When I do so, and open the new Word doc, the text I filled in is gone.  Help?

  • Edit document that was converted from PDF to Word Doc.

    How do I edit a document that I converted from a PDF to a word document????? When I open my now "Word Document" it does not allow me to edit the text.

    Bill, The PDF came from a scanning of a Word document, but my office did not produce the PDF and I don't know exactly how the original Word document was scanned, whether OCR was engaged at that stage, etc., but the select tool in Adobe Reader leads to the cross-hairs on the PDF. We are working without AA, and I was trying to convert the PDF back to an editable Word document through ExportPDF, with which I thought I had had some success in the past in similar circumstances (converting an image PDF back to an editable Word document). With this document, the conversion back to Word through ExportPDF has led to an uneditable Word document with text in image frames whether OCR is on or off in the PDF to Word conversion effort... and if there is a way to remove the frames in Word, but keep the text, I haven't "re"figured it out yet. For instance, triple clicking doesn't seem to do anything.
    On this particular document, we've gone back to the old fashioned way of retyping the page that has the error in it ... and sticking it back in the document. (It also would have been smarter timewise for me in this case to have spent more time on tracking down the preceding Word document.)
    Was I missing something in the conversion process from scanned image PDF to Word document with edit capabilities? Thanks!

  • From PDF to Word DOC

    When I attempt to convert a multiple page MS Word 2003 doc (25 pgs) to PDF using Adobe Std 9, it works. When I attempt to take that same PDF and convert it back to WORD using the feature within Adobe Acrobat 9 Std FILE - EXPORT - WORD DOCUMENT, Adobe will take the 25 pages and convert it to 2 pgs. Is there a setting turned on that I'm missing?

    The fact that it is a new WORD doc is not the point. It is the process you used to create the PDF. I suspect from your post that you used the print to the Adobe PDF printer option. That option includes no tags or bookmarks. The tags are needed to reverse the process, though that may still not be perfect. The 25 pp to 2 pp is a bit drastic, but without knowing the content of the WORD file and the method of creating the PDF, I am only guess at possibilities.

  • Trouble creating a pdf converting Word doc ..."Could not find the application that created the file"

    Hello,
    I am working with Acrobat Pro 8 and am trying to create a pdf by converting a word doc. When I try that, I keep getting an error message, " Could not find the application that created this file...please select a file created by an application that resides on your computer." I can always convert a word into pdf first and then insert it into the pdf project that I am working on, however I have multiple files and I really would like to bypass that long step.
    I found another thread in this forum which talks about a simillar issue (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/429585).I tried the solution suggested there by Bill@vt regarding the print menu. I am not really sure if t have distiller installed, so I tried opening it in acrobat, but it failed. During the process, I got the follwing message "Check the Status column for a list of files that could not be printed".I do not have any clue how to check for AcroTray running in the background.
    I would really appreciate any help.
    Thanks!

    If Distiller failed to open, it sounds like you need to do a repair of your Acrobat installation. Have not heard that one before!

  • Insert a PDF ro Word doc into an Excel sheet

    I have to track parts.  I created a spreadsheet to do this.  We are trying to as paparless as possible is my office.  I need to insert a PDF copy or the actual Word doc into the spreadsheet so my techs can access it and indicate that the
    parts have arrived.  This spreadsheet is on a SharePoint site and so are the PDF or Word copies of the documents that the techs need.  Inserting a hyperlink will pull the PDF doc up in another web tab which is what I don't want. 
    I need to be able to pull the docs up and modify them and save them back to the SharePoint file. Help!  THANKS!!!! 

    Have you considered using a SharePoint list instead of an excel spreadsheet? You can then attach one or many documents to each row in the list.

  • Cannot convert from PDF to word doc.....

    I am not able to access PDF files on my desktop to then convert.

    Hi Dan,
    What happens when you try to access the PDF files? Do you get an error message? Are you converting from within Adobe Reader, or via the ExportPDF web interface?
    Are you able to log in directly to https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf and convert your files from there?

  • Save as pdf or word doc with password

    I can't seem to create a pdf or a word .doc from my (applework) document which has a password.
    That is I want the pdf or word doc to have a password - the same one hopefully as my original but I can't find how to do it!
    Any tips please?
    Gordon

    You may be able to set a password for the file at the system level.
    Open the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and create an encrypted disk image without putting the password in your keychain. Move the file to the mounted image, and then throw away the copy directly on the hard disk followed by choosing Secure Empty Trash in the Finder.

  • Copy and pasting from PDF to Word for Mac

    I have a Mac Book Pro and I am having difficulty in copying from PDF to Word documents. Specifically, I cannot highlight the text that I want to move to the Word document. I have followed the help suggestions, and found that the PDF has not encription barriers. The cursor does not go from the arrow head to the other symbol that would allow me to highlight that which I want to copy. I have the text tool, and under edit, the copy word is ready. I am at a loss, as I can copy from e-mail and other things. Thanks.

    I'm glad you've got the problem licked now, or at least understand the limitations on some of your downloaded PDF documents. I suspect those limitations will apply to all documents that are downloaded from the same database or source, and will consistently not apply to documents downloaded from specific other databases, because of differences in the way documents are scanned by different database services.
    By way of clarification, let me just point out that what you are calling Acrobat, which used to be called *Acrobat Reader,* is now officially called *Adobe Reader.* Adobe changed the name to distinguish more clearly between Acrobat — an expensive commercial application for +creating, modifying and manipulating+ PDF files — and the freeware Adobe Reader, which only enables you to view them. You'll avoid needless confusion by calling the Reader by its proper name in the future. No big deal, though: lots of people make the same mistake here. (I've explained this distinction to my wife any number of times, and have finally learned not to bother doing it again: she simply doesn't care.)
