Updating Links in PDF File

I have a PDF file with over two hundred individual links in it, as well as numerous other PDF files with one or more links in them each. There has been a restructuring of the webserver and I need to make updates to all of the links to reflect this change in the webserver's directory structure.
Is there a way to search and/or scan a PDF file for a given URL and/or string (e.g., "http://www.websitname.com/directory/directory/filename.htm") and replace it with an updated or new URL or string (e.g., "http://www.websitname.com/directory/new_directory/filename.htm") such that I do not have to open each link separately and update each link manually via the editing tool? It would also be very useful to be able to scan a set of folders for a given link and update those as well. Is either or both of these doable in Acrobat Professional 8?
I know in older version of CF Studio, you could search a folder of CFM / HTML files and updates any text string "globally". This is needed tool in Acrobat. Does it exist, or is there some sort of utility (Acrobat or third-party) that can do this function?

Bernd,
Thanks for the input. That utilities does seem to work from what I could tell. You do not happen to know of something similar that is Windows / GUI based do you and/or perhaps a bit cheaper? For that much I would have hoped for something a bit more user friendly, but then again, it is better than nothing by a long shot.

  • 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.

    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

  • Hello. My safari (and i keep it updated) cannot open PDF files. Should i install Adobe Reader and which version????? I have Mac Book Pro running OS 10.9

    My safari (and i keep it updated) cannot open PDF files.Should i install Adobe Reader and which version????/ I have Mac Book Pro running OS 10.9
    Please help me!!!!

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • 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

  • It seems like Illustrator may not consistantly be updating the embedded pdf file when we re-save..........

    It seems like Illustrator may not consistently be updating the embedded pdf file when re-saving, even if the embedded illustrator file does. We are seeing a number of issues which seem to suggest this is going on..... I have a file I might be able to share with adobe's developers to really look at this problem. In short this file does not have a client change when viewed in reader or output through Photoshop image processor to generate raster copies, yet when we open the file we see the client changes. I would expect this to be a huge issue..... I have told my team to perform a save-as from now on to avoid what I think is going on-it seems to work.....
    We are using Illustrator  CS5.5 (15.1.0)

    I think your pdf file is probably damaged. There is a tool called Advanced PDF Repair. I have used it to repair many corrupt PDF files successfully. Its homepage is http://www.datanumen.com/apdfr/  Maybe you can have a try.
