Accessing Specific PDF page in a hyperlink within CHM

I have built a CHM in RoboHelp 9 and am trying to make a hyperlink that will take the reader directly to an included PDF page number, that starts a section in this PDF of about 3 pages.
WIN7 TCS3.5

Having multiple images in a tiff file is probably not the best practice. THe image object meta data might not make much sense (width, height, format...).
But....
For 8.1.7, there is no way to do it from PL/SQL. You could do it outside the database in a servlet.
For 9i, there is an undocumented interface to allow for access to tiff images other than the first image that is being considered for documentation with 10i.

  • Link to a pdf page on web from a chm file

    Hello,
    I'm using RoboHelp 9.0.2.  I'm trying to create a link in a chm file to a specific pdf page using a URL.  The link I am using is http://www.actuarialstandardsboard.org/pdf/exposure/ASOP_No27_second%20exposure_2011.pdf#p age=41
    I put the above line in my chm file.  It appears correctly in the URL project list and shows correctly when I choose Show.  It also apeears to be correct in the HTML code of the page. 
    However when I create the chm clicking on the link just brings me the start of the pdf file.  After clicking on the link in the chm file and explorer opens, the URL in explorer does not show #page=41.  It ends at.pdf.
    Am I missing something or does anyone kno whys this is not working?
    Thanks
    John

    Hi there
    That link doesn't even work for me when I paste it into the address bar of my Firefox browser. It does work in IE, but not in Firefox. In Firefox it opens the PDF generically.
    I tested in a CHM and it did try and link, but it presents a black page. Looks like the correct page, but it's blacked out.
    CHM files rely upon elements of Internet Explorer to display their content. So perhaps it's something specific to a certain version of Internet Explorer as well as a certain version of the Acrobat Reader.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Hyperlink to specific pdf page

    I would like to be able insert a hyperlink into Excel 2011 which specifies a page within the pdf to jump to.  From looking at various web pages, it appears that one should be able to append the following text to the hyperlink #page=25.  However, this does not appear to work.  I thought that it was something to do with Excel but even if I insert the hyperlink into Safari, it still does not work.  With both Excel and Safari, the pdf opens but it does not jump to the specified page.  I am running OS 10.6 and 10.7 and I get the same results on both.
    Has anyone managed to get this working?

    Thank you for the link.
    I think the solution is for a windows machine that can use Internet Explorer.  I have already tried using this solution but with Safari but it unfortunately does not work.  Ideally, I would like the hyperlink to open preview at the required page.

  • Specific PDF page range via URL

    Hi!
    We have a 60 page PDF, but would like to be able to only show pages 5-10 (or whatever) via a URL and have parameters in the URL only show pages 5-10. 
    Is this possible?  It would be as if the URL parameters hide/omit pages 1-4 and 11-60, and simply show the user specific data presenting a "lightweight" version of the original PDF.
    Thank you!

    No, this would require a server process to make a subset PDF and serve it.
    You can link to a specific page.
    Also, when shown in the browser, if a file is optimized for fast web view, it goes directly to specific pages rather than waiting to load the whole file.

  • Way to scroll to specific PDF page fast ?

    Im using Safari for reading PDF docs from web.
    The PDF docs have a lot of pages. 200 pages is standard.
    Is there a way to quickly get to desired page ? Ie page 100
    Scrolling manualy thought 100 pages isn't exactly user friendly.
    Also is there a way to bookmark specific page in PDF for Safari ?
    so it doesn't opens on 1st page, but goes straight to page 100
    I'll be glad for any advice.

    This is not something I know personally can be done right now.
    But iPhone 2.0 is coming out soon and many cool applications. So maybe a nice PDF application for iPhone might be coming out. Not sure. We will have to sit back wait and see what the world of App programmers have to offer

  • How to add a Comment to a specific PDF page or page element?

    I'd like to share a multipage PDF and gather comments about designs presented on the different pages.
    Currently comments seem to only apply to the entire PDF file and not to individual pages or elements on pages. I don't see an obvious way to add contextual annotations.
    If someone adds a comment, how do I know which page they are commenting on? Perhaps they just have to write something like "Looking at page 4 I'd like to change..."
    Thanks,
    DAN

    Thanks for the feedback. Currently you cannot comment on a specific page in the Creative Cloud.

  • Create excel hyperlink directly to PDF page in a file

    I have seen some old posts on this saying this could not be done. Wondering if anyone has developed a way to do this yet?
    I want my excel hyperlink to take me to a specified page within a PDF that is filed on my harddrive.
    I'm able to link the PDF but not to a specific page.
    Any ideas how I might do this?

    Hi,
    it's me again.
    Well, with the PDF open parameters I am now able to open a pdf document via HTML on a specific page number.
    (http://example.org/doc.pdf#page=10)
    However page numbers are changing so I want do define a special Article using the following command:
    http://example.org/doc.pdf#nameddest=Article16
    but the pdf opens always at the first page. Is there something to do in the pdf document with Article 16 first ?

  • How do I navigate from a hyperlink on one page to an anchor within the tab widget?

    Hi guys can you please assist me with that issue I am describing in the question: How do I navigate from a hyperlink on one page to an anchor within the tab widget? I assume that it is not working because the tab widget is truly just on one page and anchors work within a page but not a specific tab. Is there a way around that?
    Thanks.

    an interesting question. Anchors work across pages (global) without any problem. Do they work within tabs or any other widgets I haven't tried, but it looks like you have and without success. I can see the temptation for doing this, but if you think about it why would you? Set the anchor on the page next to the tab(s) and hey presto the user needs only click the tab to which the hperlink refers, nothing could be more convenient! Of course, if the user cannot relate the tab to the hyperlink there's a problem. Generally solved by titling (like if the hyperlink is cats, the tab should preferably read cats and not dogs)! It's the only work around i can think of. Hope it helps.

  • Is it possible to link to specific files on a server from within a pdf?

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to create hyperlinks to a specific file on a Windows server from within a pdf?
    Let me explain further, I am working on a Mac trying to create hyperlinks from within InDesign to specific files on a Windows server. I am exporting the file to pdf, along with the hyperlinks, which look correct when I click on them from within Acrobat.
    On Windows, the links will read as \\servername\directoryname\filename so this is exactly how I enter it as the hyperlink. When I view the hyperlink information in the resulting pdf from within Acrobat, it still looks correct as \\servername\directoryname\filename but when I try to click on it from the Windows side OR the Mac side, the link doesn't work and gets changed....the slashes revert to the opposite direction and the whole link gets messed up. I am trying to figure out if the cause is InDesign, Acrobat or whether this can even be done? Of corse, I never have issues with normal URLS.
    What we are trying to do is set up an internal catalogue for the company of all our materials. (Everyone works on Windows)
    Should I try to create the links from within a Windows version of Acrobat... do you think that will make any difference?
    Thanks in advance for your help:)
    Very much appreciated!
    Christine

    Thank you for your help...very much appreciated!
    Basically, what we needed were for the links to be static and not relative, and they were mainly for Windows users. What finally worked was creating the links from within a Windows version of Acrobat. We plan to email the final pdf to several employees around the word (we are an international company) with all the links intact. Once they were logged into our network (vpn'd in) the links would still be valid no matter where the document was located. The trick is to change the start of the link to a specific IP address (the server address) when you are setting it up in Acrobat. I hope this makes sense and is helpful for everyone else out there:)
    (P.S. This works for Windows users only though and cannot be done via the Mac version of Acrobat. I can set things up within the Mac version of Acrobat so that the links will work as long as the document resides in the same location on the server... the advantage to doing it THIS way is that it will work for BOTH Mac and Windows users.)
    Thanks again,
    Christine

  • Hyperlinks within .PDF document won't open in browser.

    So what I want to happen is when I click a hyperlink within a .PDF file which is opened via Adobe Reader XI, I want a new tab/browser (the link) to be opened with/in Chrome.
    Currently when I hover my mouse over a link, it turns into a clicky hand thing with a tiny letter 'w' and the address floats above in a box. When I try to shift/normal/ctrl click the link, nothing happens.
    Default settings in the reader and chrome.
    Thanks!

    Yes. If I open this .pdf file in chrome and click the link, a new tab will open with the link.
    Also, I just found something else out. When I open the settings in Adobe Reader and try clicking on the 'help' links such as 'What is protected view' under 'security', I get a message saying "Online help content cannot be displayed. Verify you can launch your web browser and have access to the Internet".

  • Pages 5.0, hyperlinks, PDF file, links don't work

    I upgraded to pages 5.0. My documents have many hyperlinks. When I convert them to PDF files the hyperlinks don't work in the pdf files. In pages: file > export > pdf > best image quality then to desktop. The links work on page 1 of the pdf file but not on the remainder of the pages. With the previous version of pages all the hyperlinks worked in the pdf files I created. Something I need to be doing with the new pages 5.0? Help. The links are a key component of my documents.
    Thanks in advance.

    1. In the new version of Pages, export your document to a Word doc. Save.
    2. Right-click on that Word doc in the Finder, Choose Open With > Pages (4.1) [Or just open Pages 4.1 yourself, then use File > Open and choose that new Word doc]
    3. The old version of Pages opens your doc. Choose File > Export... Choose PDF. File will save where you choose, links active and working just like old times.
    This is my first discussions post and hope it's useful!
    Why would you want to export to Word .doc?
    Just use Pages '09 4.3 in the first place and avoid the problem.

  • Exporting PDF files on CS5 - hyperlinks to URLs only work for first page

    I'm new to InDesign and am working through the "Classroom in a Book" training workbook for CS5, I 've got to lesson 14 and have found that when exporting to PDF (interactive) format, the hyperlink to a URL only work for the first page of the document.
    I made my own document with links on multiple pages, and the same thing happened. I followed the lesson to the letter (3 times!)
    I also tried setting up individual links for individual pages and that did work, so how do I get one piece of text to link to one URL on multiple pages of a document (ie on a Master page) ???

    Thanks Peter,  I've actually got CS5.5, so I presume this patch is already updated on this version, because when I tried the 7_0_4 patch it wouldn't run; giving the message: "Some updates failed to install, and "update is not applicable". So I tried the latest update: 7_5_2 patch, but I'm still experiencing the same problems with hyperlinks not working from the Master pages.
