Trouble with PDF links

A little background: I work for an agency and have a peripheral responsibility for updating our website, so I am learning everything on Dreamweaver from square 1 basically. So bear with me as I muddle through this. A couple years ago a former employee installed version CS3 on the PC I use, and is the version I am working with to this day.
I need to post a .pdf link of a meeting agenda to a page on the site and have it show up when it's clicked. Links to previous meeting agendas on the page work fine, but the most recent one I added 404's, even though I follow the exact code as previous .pdf links.
My suspicion is that I trouble lies in the fact I have an old and unsupported version of the software, or some sort of conflict between HTML/HTML 5 (if something like that exists), or a combination of the two.
Thoughts and suggestions? Thank you.

My suspicion is that I trouble lies in the fact I have an old and unsupported version of the software, or some sort of conflict between HTML/HTML 5 (if something like that exists), or a combination of the two.
I think it's very unlikely that either of these would be involved. No doubt the issue is either with your code for the link, with your path to the linked file, or with remembering to upload the linked file. Can we see the code on the page (best way is to post a link to the live page)?

The more you know about HTML (and CSS) the easier this will be. It might be a good idea to spend some time on http://www.html.net, or http://www.w3school.com

More trouble with PDF folios

Hi.
I also have a trouble with PDF folios, where vertical article has 2 pages and horizontal article has 1 page.
When i set that folio horizontal swipe only, there will be one extra blank page at the horizontal article.
When there is more pages in articles (4 and 2 accordingly), there is no such artifact.
Ants.

have you tried my example that I just posted here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4173179#4173179

I am having trouble with PDF 8.1 reader. Tried to download upgrade to 10.1 reader. Rec'd error message. Message said Adobe 8.1 needed to be updated by this set-up? Isn't this part of download upgrade process?? How can I straighten this out?

It is always better to uninstall the older version when skipping versions. What is your operating system?

Issue with PDF links and opened Adobe files

I have tested and IE 8 opens correct links inside PDF's.
When I open link in Mozilla or Chrome it will not work.
Is this related to Adobe Plugin which is installed inside Add-ons?
Strange is that link inside PDF shows the following link:resource://pdf.js/web/
After checking support issues there was quoted in the past:
The current Firefox 27 beta release still doesn't show the links properly using version 0.8.641, but the current Aurora 28.0a2 build does show the links to the Appendices properly using version 0.8.759.
So that would mean that when Firefox 28 gets released in March it will work for users with this Firefox version.

This is likely a problem with the way those links are coded in the PDF file, so the file may have to be saved again using different settings to make it work with PDF Viewers other than the Adobe Reader.

Problem with PDF, link in website doesn't find the adobe

We are using Windows XP, Internet Explorer 8 and Adobe Reader 9.0.
There is a website with a link to open the dokument with adobe. But when we take a klick on this link adobe isn't found. The format of the file is any file and there only cryptical sign in the file, which would be open. Please - I need help!

I have the same problem - shocked that this hasn't been addressed by Adobe or Microsoft. It began with recent updates. Adobe Reader will not open a .pdf file on the web. I sometimes get the following dialog but mostly I get a blank screen with "Done" in the status bar.
If I open a .pdf from my hard drive I get a message about protected mode. If I click on the link in the message, I get Adobe instructions about turning off protected mode - but it is already turned off. If i cancel that message i can open a local .pdf.

Strange behaviour in Chromium browser with PDF links

I am using the Chromium browser from the repository (v4.0.249) and xpdf as my PDF reader. xpdf launches fine from Firefox and Opera when clicking a PDF link in a website. Before I had Chromium set as my default browser Chromium would actually launch Firefox(!) and then FF would load the PDF document into xpdf. That in itself is strange. Now that I have Chromium set as my default browser (using "export BROWSER=/usr/bin/chromium" in ~/.bash_profile) when I click a PDF link Chromium opens a new tab and gives me this error:
This webpage is not found.
No webpage was found for the web address: file:///home/larry/Downloads/Hardware
The Downloads directory is where all my downloads go. Any ideas on how to set up Chromium to use xpdf properly would be greatly appreciated. I went to the Chromium forum and there was a similar query with no response as of yet.

Works for me™
Do PDFs open in the right app if you open them with 'xdg-open path/to/pdf/file' ?
Edit:
I forgot to mention that I haven't set any "special" environment variables before using chromium.

Trouble with PDF fonts - fields only

We're having trouble with our PDFs once the data is merged into the PDF template. All of the merged data appears cut in half in the form fields so only the top half of the letters are shown; the rest of the document is fine. We think this could be due to a font issue, but loading different fonts haven't seemed to make any difference. Could this be caused by anything besides the fonts?
Thanks!

Pdf is designed for presenting information graphically to reduce the file size. This reduction is achieved by making it an uneditable - something that comes in handy if you don't want people to alter your content.
You can (using a pdf writter) create pdf forms where information can be added in to a text field or box. However if you want to edit the content from a pdf file then you could select the text and copy and paste it in to a document like Pages or Word and then re-export when you're finished.
But I'm affraid you can't edit pdf as such - this is the case on Macs and PCs. If you need to edit documents on different platforms then you'll need to find a common editor. There's Office for Mac (student teacher versions) or you could try OpenOffice Org - it's free, works on both Macs and PCs, and will convert most Word documents provided there's not too many tables or a complex layout format.
Hope this helps

Trouble with PDF Export from ID CS6

I am having the following problem with PDF exported from an ID CS6 document. I have a couple of pages where a b&w photograph is partly covered by a non-wrapping text frame and in that text frame there is blue text. In ID it looks like this:
It also looks like this in the exported PDF in Apple Preview.app and for most of these pages they also look good in Acrobat Pro. But two are giving me trouble. They look like this:
and sadly, they also look that way when Ingram tries to use them. I export using the typical print format PDF/X-1a:2001
I have a minimal ID document that shows the problem with 3 such pages, one with the problem.

Select one of the troublesome objects and open the attributes panel as well as the effects panel.
Give us a screenshot.

I have trouble with website links not working but they work fine on I.E. it's a problem on quite a few sites .

The problem I'm having is the links are just unclickable . I have checked all the settings and everything seems ok , but the links are not working . Everything is fine in I.E. and I am not having any problems , it appears to only be when using mozilla . On this site http://compare100.com it's the links at the bottom of the page , is any body else having the same issue ?

After a bit more troubleshooting... This appears to be a CSS float clearing issue. In a page with both left and right floated containers, if the float is not cleared in one of various ways, Firefox may render the page properly, but the hyperlinks do not function. By clearing the float in the application of the page footer division, I am able to correct the problem in my web page structure such that all browsers render correctly with working links. When you experience this problem, you won't be able to do anything to Firefox to correct it, the page owner will have to resolve their stylesheets, unless a patch or something comes out to address whatever causes Firefox to behave this way.

Trouble with PDF files in Safari for Windows

I downloaded Safari for Windows at work on my XP machine because I much prefer the Safari interface. The problem that I am having is that one of the web-based programs that I use at work does reports in PDF format and when I click on the link for a report Safari is popping up a window that says the document doesn't exist. Of course, the document does exist and my Internet Explorer and Safari for Mac that I have at home both view these reports with no problems through Safari. I have the most up to date version of Adobe Reader 8, and when I check the installed plugins through the help menu on Safari it shows that the Adobe plugin is installed. So, I have no clue how to get this to work, but if I can't get it fixed soon I'm gonna have to switch back to Internet Explorer (which I don't want to do). Can anyone help???

Try to uninstall and after that install Acrobat Reader 8 again.

Problem with pdf links

I use Microsoft Word 2010 with Windows 7 and IE8. Yesterday I updated my Adobe Reader to 10.1.5. I have numerous Word documents that have hyperlinks to pdf documents in them. Now when I use Word to convert these Word documents to pdf, the links in the new pdf document don't work. Instead, I'm taken to my company's home page.

Thanks Steve
I trashed the two preference files as instructed.
Expoerted the file to IDML.
Opened the IDML file and saved it as an ID file.

Trouble with PDF FORM

Hello Adobe. We have our PDF form and are having issues with everyone being able to submit it from our website. The link is http://qualitystaffingsolution.com/test-pdf/
But after submitting it, one of our programmers can get his to go through on almost every browser but many other people who have tried it, upon clicking submit, the form does not show up in our forms central database.
Can anyone help, offer advice or have any thoughts? Thanks so much for your help!
Thanks!

Hi;
PDF in a web browser is problematic and we recommend against having the PDF set to open in the browser, we recommend that you have users download the PDF and use Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat to fill out the PDF.
The problem in a browser is that you don't know what viewer may be used to view/fill the PDF and if it is not Adobe Reader it will not work.
I would recommend you post the PDF for download and alert users that they should use Adobe Reader/Acrobat to fill and submit.
Thanks,
Josh

CS 5.5 problem with PDF links of master page TOC

Hi
Lately i moved from ID CS5 to CS5.5 working on Windows 7.
All spreads of my document are based on a master page. This mater page includes a pane with a TOC. This TOC serves as navigation pane.
When exporting the document to interactive PDF, the TOC appears on all spreads but the TOC links function well on the first spread and will not function on the next pages.
The interactive PDF export settings include: "open in full screen mode" and "buttons and Media = include all".
I made a test, and added hyperlink on the master page next to the TOC, now the TOC links turnned active on all pages but the PDF will not open in full screen although i did not change the export settings. If i remove this extra hyperlink the TOC links problem returns.
I used the same document a lot in the past (with CS5) and did not have any such problem.
Hope i managed to describe this case well.
Highly appreciate your help.
