10.4.7--PDF links won't work

Since installing the 10.4.7 update, links to PDF files won't open. The url appears in the appropriate place, but the page stays blank.
Ideas, please?

Yes to both; I installed the Adobe update in the hope that this would solve the problem, but to no avail.
The PDFs download normally with Firefox, BTW. But, unlike many, I greatly prefer Safari, so I'm anxious for this to be fixed. Thanks for your replies.

Some PDF Links don't work

Structured Frame 7.2, Acrobat 8.1.2
Some of my Frame xrefs work as links in PDF, some don't. All xref formats use elem rather than para, the jumps work in FrameMaker. These are the first PDFs we've created after moving to structured Frame. Any suggestions? Help please!

Teresa,
This sounds like a long-time known bug in structured Frame which I think may carry over into unstructured Frame, I'm not sure. The bug is that some PDF hyperlinks don't work if you don't include the target in the PDF bookmarks. For example, if your xrefs target a Heading3 element, but you don't include Heading3 elements in your bookmarks, Frame may fail to create named destinations for those elements and your links won't work.
There is a workaround to this bug in my shareware XRef Wizard plugin, available at www.weststreetconsulting.com. It might be able to help... look in the documentation for "named destinations."

External links won't work once published

Hi, I'm self taught so don't always understand everything and I'm a complete novice with iWeb, used Front Page before getting a Mac.
I'm in the process of building a new website using iWeb and I'm having problems with getting links to external pages to work. They work fine in iWeb. 'Enable as a hyperlink' and 'make hyperlinks active' is ticked for all links. I've formatted the links to be coloured red, then orange when visited and blue with an underline on roll over, grey if disabled. All works fine in iWeb but then when I publish the links won't work. They will momentarily and then they won't. If I refresh the page then one or two will work but when you go back to the page they won't work again. I've deleted them all and redone them, still the same problem. Tried it in Safari and Firefox, same problem. Deleted the site from the server and republished, same problem. Anyone got any ideas?
On the page in question I have a widget to SkyScanner, thought that was maybe causing a conflict. Deleted it and republished, same problem.
Here's a link to the page I'm having problems with http://www.marbella-rentals.co.uk/MarbellaRentals/flights.html and it's the links to airlines on the right that I can't get to work.
Also I have another couple of questions. How do you resample images? I have used a background image on the pages and I've managed to get it to stay static by altering the code slightly but don't know how to resample it so that the page will load quickly. Ditto with all the rest of my images. Don't want to have to resize them all manually if possible. Also, with the background image I don't know what size I should make it if I was to do it manually.
Last question... How do you change the title of your page and add a favicon?
If anyone can help me would be much appreciated.
Thanks

You have an image covering some of the hyperlinks - GraphPaper_01_3.png
Do a Command A on the iWeb page to find it.
Your background image seems to load OK. Use an optimizer to to get it and the whole site to download faster...

To add title tag and meta description you need to open each HTML file post publishing and add them with an editor app. More conveniently, you can use iWeb SEO Tool...

Links won't work...in certain circumstances.

Okay...here's the situation:
A couple days ago, all was well. ALL links were working just fine. Following a minor update, all links died.
I set the site up to navigate by clicking pictures rather than using the nav menu. All links to site pages were set up as internal links, any links to outside the site were set up as external links.
I've rigged a partial fix to this: I put clear shapes over the pictures and linked them...these work. Any links that I haven't done this with no longer work.
None of the hyperlinks on text work, nor do the ones I haven't covered with a clear shape. I've gone through, unlinked everything, relinked it and tried again, the text links and non-covered pics still don't work.
To top it all off, the photo albums created BY IWEB aren't working either! (these will be ericthelutheran.info/sclcy/bb2011 & ch2011 in the link I provide). When you try to click on the navigation buttons between pages or on the pictures to get to a larger view, they don't work at all. Again, the albums were created by iWeb itself.
I don't know what to do short of starting over, but I hate to do that after all this work (though it's not finished yet). Help!
Current versions of iWeb & Lion, tried multiple browsers w/ same result.
Site: http://ericthelutheran.info/SCLCY/sclcy.html
Thanks for the help, I'm so confused!

EDIT: Links won't work due to ID-10-T error. I laid a clear box over everything with line edge to "frame" the page...nothing like a nice sheet of glass to prevent it from being messed with!

Creative Suite CS5 download link won't work

Creative Suite CS5 download link won't work after eight attempts, trying to transfer software to new laptop. Final Solution: new software cds mailed if possible?

Hi Sheena,
After dowloading the CS5 Design Premium, I get an error messagin stating "A problem occurred while extracting the archive. Please try downloading the Adobe CS5 Design Premium again." I repeated this process multiple times (8) to no avail. I am trying to download the CS5 design premium on my new laptop, but don't have the software cds to do this. Thus, I can only download the software but after i download the two files required, that error message appears. (I already have my serial number). I have tried disabling my Antivirus as sometimes it detects the files as virus and removes them while downloading. I have also tried downloading after performing Selective Startup.
Can Adobe mail the software cds instead of sending download links?

Anyone know why pdf links won't open? also- malware has hijacked the downloadable file available when clicking on Adobe's file:

Changed OS to Mavericks & pdf links from websites won't open. I also had private browsing on in safari.
I have acrobat 10.1.10. I tried to update it when prompted by auto-updates and it said it can't because the product has been changed since installed. that can only be the switch to mavericks osx. But it might have prompted me to get version 11 though I only have version 10 & I did the version 10 update in mid-Sept.
Then, I tried going to adobe.com, searched "upda" and got a list of the cs items with icons, plus two text only links, one was acrobat for mac and the last one, "Update manager update (Mac OS)". It said it is to "resolve a common issue with Adobe Update manager on Mac OS". I cliucked that and got some bogus file. When I hit the button on adobe's site, it shows that the file name should be Adobeupdatemanager403.dmg or something very similar to that. Instead in the download list /box I got " installjdownloader.dmg" I clicked it once & saw terms of service in which they will switch you to use only their search engine, serve ads, etc. So luckily I didn't install it.
Does adobe need to investigate this malware problem? Others might search the way I did.
Anyway, this all started because after installing mavericks, i can't open any pdfs from the web.
Can anyone help me? Thank you very much in advance.

Pdf links don't work for imported text

Hi.
I imported some common sections located in their own frame file into three different books.
I tried this by reference first because I want to make changes only once, to the actual file.
When I make a pdf, the toc links to the imported reference text don't work. Nor do links within the text to other locations in the text.
When I import by text, the links work. But import by text defeats the purpose of having one source for multiple books.
I appreciate any help on this.

Unfortunately, cross-references in FM files imported by reference into other FM files ("text insets") are not converted to PDF links -- this applies to all versions of FrameMaker and Acrobat.
Limited workarounds are to (1) convert the text insets to regular text (on a temporary copy that is discarded after the PS/PDF is created; this can be automated using FrameScript) or (2) use hypertext links to create the PDF links (these are converted properly even when in a text inset).

"Compress images in pdf documents" won't work

I created this workflow:
1. Get selected Finder objects
2. Compress images in pdf documents
3. Copy Finder objects to...
... but it won't work, the images are not compressed. Anyone any suggestions?

To examine this I made three pdf documents from three Pages documents (running compression during export to pdf) each containing one image: one psd, one tiff and one jpg image. Running the workflow on these pdfs, the pdfs containing the psd and the tiff files were compressed but not the pdf containing the jpg image. I then made two pdf documents exported from Indesign containing a tiff file; one pdf export compressing and downsampling the tiff image and one with no downsampling and compression. Running the workflow on these two pdfs did not further compress the already compressed pdf, but did compress the pdf containing the uncompressed image. To further optimize pdf documents already compressed on export from Indesign one has to use Acrobat, which, of course, is the most efficient and flexible tool for optimizing pdf documents.

Blog Post Links Won't Work

Greetings!
My blog post links at http://HealthyDayFitness.com/ won't work and I can't figure out how to remedy the problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers!

Thanks for the reply!
I'm publishing to a folder and using FileZilla to upload the site. I simply click and drag all the files within my site folder onto the site. I did not click and drag the folder, because then it gives me the address http://HealthyDayFitness.com/HealthyDayFitness/Welcome.html. Looks messy in my opinion.
I'm a little confused on what you mean by blank spaces on the page name... This is the blog page that works: http://healthydayfitness.com/Blog/Blog.html
If you click on "First Post," that's when things go haywire, but I don't see any blank spaces in that broken URL.
Any other thoughts? If not, I'll give the folder upload a try.

PDF Links Won't Open in Safari 3.1.2

Whenever I click on a PDF link in Safari, I just get a blank gray page with a spinner. PDFs use to open with no problem. I did update to Adobe CS3 last week - don't know if that's part of the problem. I have plenty of memory and disk space. Any ideas?

Do you have Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat Pro installed? If so, that is the problem.
You need to quit Safari, start the applicable program(s) you have, go to Preferences > Internet and uncheck the box where it says "Display PDF in browser using:". Then go to Users/username/Library/Internet Plug-Ins and remove the Adobe PDF plugin. Restart Safari and try view a PDF in the browser.

Rogue Link Won't Work

I have used a script that I found here in the forum to create a "back" link. I used it on over 20 video pages. It works on every page but one. I have created an entirely new page. I did a "save as" wtih a similar page with a working link, reworked the content, saved it under the url that I needed, uploaded it and it still doesn't work.
You can test this by going to http://www.hstool.com/rolling.html. Select the video link in the bottom right corner which will open the video page. The "back" link will not work. Go to the same site /splitframeodmount.html, activate the link and the back link on that will work fine. Same script used on both.
Working with Dreamweaver CC, html 5

The others aren't opening in a new window, there's no target="_blank" in the Video link.
When you open a page in a new blank window or tab, there is no history for the javascript to read in that window/tab so it does nothing when clicked.

Table of contents links won'T work in reader

Hi all,
Im using Adobe Reader XI 11.
and I noticed that in my pdf file, table of contents links wonT work in reader
I browsed the internet and saw that I need to turn off reading in PDF/A mode. but that doesnt work either.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks..

No need to apologize. You're getting closer to solving your issues in the other thread.

FrameMaker 8.0p277 Generated PDF-to-PDF Links Don't Work On Solaris

Currently I create a PDF of a book index pointing to several guides. The company logo in each guide's PDF provides a link back to the index.
All the links worked on Solaris & Windows OSs. Now they do not work on Solaris. I get an error saying, "There was an error opening this document. The file cannot be found."
All files are located in the same directory and they are all there.
The only thing that I have changed is the source was in FrameMaker 7 and it is now in FrameMaker 8. I use Acrobat 9 Pro Extended 9.4.6 and I have the latest updates for both Acrobat and FrameMaker.
I did some more digging and found a difference in the generated postscript file.
FM8
[/Rect[1409 2622 4926 2441]/Border[0 0 0] /Action << /Type /Action /S/GoToR /D /F /F << /Type/Filespec/UF <FEFF0063006D00690063002E007000640066> /F(cmic.pdf) >> >> /Subtype /Link /ANN FmPD2
FM7
[/Rect[1830 2661 4578 2430]/Border[0 0 0]/Dest /F/Action/GoToR/File(cmic.pdf)/Subtype /Link /ANN FmPD2
I am trying to get off of FM7 and it is counter productive to keep generating our final PDFs from FM7 just to get them to work.
Has anyone else had this problem and know how to resolve it?

Cross-file links in PDFs authored in FrameMaker 8 use Unicode-encoded file paths and file names, which are only supported in Windows Acrobat/Reader 8.x (MacOS Acrobat/Reader 7.x or later).
As a result, cross-file links are not functional when the PDF is displayed in earlier Acrobat/Reader versions, even though the target PDFs files are present in the target location.
While it is possible (through post-processing) to change the links so that they are backward-compatible, I suggest checking whether one of the Reader versions available for Solaris supports Unicode filenames and indicating that such a version is required to view the PDFs.
