Acrobat 6 & 8 hyperlink condition

Created a form with hyperlink in Word, removed the link box in Acrobat 6 and the link does not work due to no link box. This is right. However, when I open the same document in Acrobat 8 the link will launch using the hand tool, the underlined text, and no link box?

In the preferences of Adobe Acrobat 8 disable the entry 'Create links from URLs'.

Acrobat is changing hyperlinks when opening in browser

Hi everyone,
I have a pdf file containing a lot of hyperlinks. When certain links are clicked on, Acroabt opens up a browser window but the page won't load because some of the characters in the URL are being changed. For example the following url:
http://law.ato.gov.au/atolaw/view.htm?rank=find&criteria=AND~PS~basic~exact:::AND~LA~basic ~exact:::AND~2010%2F4~basic~exact&target=OA&style=java&sdocid=PSR/PS20104/NAT/ATO/00001&re cStart=1&PiT=99991231235958&Archived=false&recnum=1&tot=3&pn=ALL:::ALL
...gets replaced with this:
http://law.ato.gov.au/atolaw/view.htm?rank=find&criteria=AND%7EPS%7Ebasic%7Eexact:::AND%7E LA%7Ebasic%7Eexact:::AND%7E2010%2F4%7Ebasic%7Eexact&target=OA&style=java&sdocid=PSR/PS2010 4/NAT/ATO/00001&recStart=1&PiT=99991231235958&Archived=false&recnum=1&tot=3&pn=ALL:::ALL
It seems to be swapping out the tilde sign (~) with the following characters:
%7E
When I hover over the hyplink in Acroabt, the correct version appears. It only happens once it's clicked and the brower window is opened.
Does anyone know why this happens or whether there is a workaround?
Thanks in advance

Tilde is indeed arguably forbidden in a URL, and should be replaced by %7E. So Acrobat is doing the right thing. We can now often get away with the tilde, but they should be treated as exactly equivalent.
This is discussed in http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/tilde.html which can also be accessed as http://www.cs.tut.fi/%7Ejkorpela/tilde.html.
You are right that the Australian government web site isn't accepting this. The site appears to be faulty.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Truncating Hyperlinks

I thought I would give back to the community by sharing something I just discovered when using Microsoft Word 2007 and Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.
If you have a long hyperlink in a Word document, I found that the hyperlink would work just fine in Word;however, when you "Print" to Adobe, the hyperlink is truncated - you can see this by hovering your mouse over the hyperlink.
To resolve this problem, I used the "Save as" Adobe Acrobat and (wonderfully) the complete hyperlink appears in the saved Adobe file and all works well.

In MS Word use the function 'Convert to Adobe PDF'. Printing to Adobe PDF doesn't create hyperlinks.

Acrobat Pro X - Hyperlinks don't work

We upgraded to Acrobat Pro X. When converting a Visio document to Acrobat, the hyperlinks quit working. These are Arrows that are used to move forward and backward between the multiple pages in the document. Not linking to an external source. These worked in Adobe 8.

I can confirm that behavior in Acrobat 9 Pro (and in Acrobat X Pro as well!). I unchecked all the options in the Optimize dialog except for changing Images (unchecking all the options to discard various kind of data). It should not remove hyperlinks but it does. I've never notice (or heard about that) before.
I would tweak your PDF settings in QuarkXPress to reduce file size (or downsample images ahead of time if Quark is not capable of doing that).

Acrobat Pro X - Hyperlinked PDF's not displaying correctly

After installing Acrobat Pro X we are having issues when clicking hyperlinks to PDF files from webpages.
If we click a link to a Multi paged document it opens everytime to the top of page 2.
If it is a one page document it opens at the bottom of page 1
There don't seem to be any exceptions to this rule. It is happening on all 6 computers in our office all running Windows XP SP3. Browser is IE8
Is this a known fault? Is anyone else having the same issues?

I am experiencing this same problem.
Now that I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro, documents clicked on in ANY web browser: Firefox, I.E., Safari... all open DIRECTLY to page 2... even when I have them set in preferences to open on page 1.
What's up with this?
Have you found a solution?

Acrobat 9 Pro Forms - Conditional (If) statements don't work!

Trying to calculate a value via Custom Calculation Script. I've tried this numerous ways... I can set the event.value but even the simplest conditional statement is
ignored.
Here's the current version (using Diff as a value holder)
var NetMother = this.getField("NetMotherFwd").value;
var PAMother = this.getField("PersAllMother").value;
var Diff = NetMother-PAMother;
If (Diff > 0)
    event.value = Diff;
else
     event.value = 0;
FYI, the following also doesn't work properly - gives zero every time
event.value=0;
If (1==1)
     event.value=1;
Any help would be greatly appreciated! G

JS is case-sensitive and there's no such thing as "If". You need to use "if"
instead.

Acrobat 9 - Hyperlinks don't work after optimizing.

Acrobat 9.5 on Mac: hyperlinks go away after Optimizing. I use Quark 9, and after exporting to make the PDF, I have a large file size. When I open the PDF in Acrobat, all my hyperlinks created in Quark work. Then I use Optimizer to reduce the file size, and the hyperlinks go away. How can I keep them live without going back through and manually linking them to a webpage?

I can confirm that behavior in Acrobat 9 Pro (and in Acrobat X Pro as well!). I unchecked all the options in the Optimize dialog except for changing Images (unchecking all the options to discard various kind of data). It should not remove hyperlinks but it does. I've never notice (or heard about that) before.

Hyperlinks and InDesign CS4

I have created a document in ID and created hyperlinks for several items featured in the document. Everything works fine except I want the hyperlinks to open in a new window.
In my example, the created pdf document is being emailed to my database. When my customer opens the email and clicks on the PDF, it opens as a pdf document but in a browser window. Now when they click an item in the document, it opens up to my website, but opens in the same window so they only way they can go back and view the pdf doc is to "go back". I want the pdf window left open and each time they click an item, a new browser window opens.
I should also mention that the exported PDF document works perfectly. The pdf doc opens in Adobe Acrobat and the hyperlink opens in a browser window, exactly as I want. The issue is when I insert this pdf document into a "newsletter" to go to my customers, it is inserted into a Browser window rather than opening in Acrobat. Sorry for the lengthy explanation and I hope it makes sense.
Here's the results of what my customers sees after they open my Newsletter: http://www.heirloomlinens.com/docs/flyer%20front%20page.pdf The links to my website are all there but they don't open in a new window.
Any help would be appreciated.

Problem solved. Saved the pdf ias a jpg. Inserted the jpg into the news;etter and used an image map to create the links back to my website. All good now.

Preventing black boxes around hyperlinks?

My document, created in Word 2010 and saved as a pdf in Adobe Acrobat X Pro 10 (newest version), has hyperlinks referring to other areas of the document. The document looks fine on my screen (on a PC) and other screens, but on a particular computer (that happens to be a Mac desktop) it shows black rectangles around the hyperlinks when opened in Adobe Reader.
I went into the edit links dialog, and it shows the Link Type as Invisible Rectangle.
How to I prevent this from happening on certain computers?
Thanks!

The Reader should actually never show the frames, unless there is an extra option to do so (I don't know of any).
In Acrobat, only with hyperlink tool selected, the frames are shown.
What version of Reader on the Mac is it and are the frames bold or thin?

Hyperlinks stopped linking

Hi Everyone
I have a collection of reports that that are supposed to allow drill down into each other.
The problem is that (for various reasons) I can't use data models here. So I have a set of queries each describing one face of the hypercube I would have created, and each query has its own graph.
So, by way of illustration, the report starts with a bar chart showing event counts grouped by time. Clicking on a bar gives a menu of hyperlinks that allow you to either drill down time-wise and get more detail for that period, or else drill into (say) the user facet and get a chart of event counts per user from that period.
Once you're in the user chart you can drill back to the time chart restricting events to a particular user, or drill into another dimension, like event type.
The trouble is that the hyperlinks on some of the reports stopped working and I can't get them to work again. The reports are all more or less copies of one another, varying only in the data set driving the report and the parameter values passed over the hyperlink.
Any ideas? I've been banging my head against this one for more than a week!

Hi Colin! Thanks for the reply
Colin Sutton wrote on Tue, 14 July 2015 00:23
Nick Fortune I can't answer your question, but can offer advice. Rather than having reports that are copies of one another, use one report only, with all the
hyperlinks going to itself, and set parameters to choose the datasets etc.
by passing all the parameters as required in the hyperlink.
That was my first thought. The only reason I didn't take that approach was that I needed a different hyperlink menu depending on what aspect of the data I was displaying. If I'm showing event counts by time, the top entry is to drill down into the time period under the mouse. If it's showing counts by users, then I want the option to return to the time breakdown but showing only that user.
I did wonder if there was a way to show hyperlinks conditionally, or to change the text shown on the link, but I couldn't work any of that out.
Colin Sutton wrote on Tue, 14 July 2015 00:23
For example, to remove a dataset when not needed, in order to save a
performance hit:
if (params["condition"].value== true)
{this.querytext = "select a,b from mytable"}
else
{this.querytext = "select '' as a, '' as b from dual where 0=1"}
I didn't know I could set the query in js! That could be useful.
I was actually doing something quite similar to that. I had a query to a common table expression, and then have a union of smaller queries against the CTE each conditional on the facet of the datacube which I passed as a string parameter. It worked quite well, and would be fine with a single report - if I could do the conditional hyperlink problem
With separate reports it makes more sense for each to have a variant query, but I can return to the CTE/union approach fast enough/

PDF with hyperlinks from ms access?

Will Acrobat preserve the hyperlinks in the Access Report
(version 2002) when you convert to PDF?
If so, will acrobat also convert hidden hyperlinks on images
as well?
Starting with which version of acrobat?
many thanks!

Report - Alert Message when Link with value 0 is clicked

Hi,
I have a report with many fields eg. Year , Count of High Priority Project , Count of Medium Priority Project , Count of Low Priority Project.
I have used Column Attributes to link the report data to page 22.
Now , some of the cells in the report have 0 . Is it possible that when user click on 0 the link does not take to page 22 , but show javascript alert window stating no data.
Any help will be highly appreaciated.
Regards,
Shijesh

Thanks Denes for the reply.
I'm sorry that i was not able to explain my question clearly.
Below is a bare minimum version of my report.
[http://www.geocities.com/shijeshkumar/Untitled.png]
I have a table say dummy_project with field Year , Priority ( it can have only any of these three value - High Medium and Low ) and Project_Status ( it can have only any of these three value - Red , Green and Yellow ) --- As you can see value of the field has been used as Column Lable ( eg. High , Low and Medium ) --
now when user click on first cell which has value 1 -- It pass the High Column Lable , Priority (High value is in priority field of dummy project table) , and Year to Page 22.
Since my original report contains 17 fields, it will be very difficult for me to include hyperlink in the query.
Is there any other way to make my hyperlink conditional , when it has 0 value there should be no hyperlink ...
If i use the method which is metioned in the link it will work as I want but the code will become to lenghty and hard to debug ( Condidering there are 17 column) and each column is derived using decode and case and other conditions....

Corrupt crosslinks when exported from InDesign to PDF

Two of my colleagues are using Indesign on win7 64 bit computers.
CS 4, one computer has indesign version 6.0.4, the other computer has version 6.0.5 - and that is the computer where our problem is.
When we open a file in indesign and chose the alternative Export to PDF, export with hyperlinks and bookmarks, a pdf-file is created. Some of the links are ok, but most of them doesn´t work. The properties for the link seems to be ok with the correct destination name. (and if we try to export the same indesign file from the other computer all links are ok, so the orignal file must be ok?)
We have tried to create a new user account on the computer, with full admin-permissions.
Any other ideas, anyone?

I´m not a user of the program myself, so i´m not definetely sure... What we have done on the problematic computer is to reset the settings. We got help to remove some setting-files.
Are there any specific settings that you might know about, that could cause this kind of trouble? We have checked in acrobat that "use hyperlinks" (?) is marked under Edit, Preferences,

Lots of goodies seen at the Adobe RoboHelp STC sneak peeks

In three different sessions at the STC conference in
Minneapolis I saw pre-beta demonstrations of RoboHelp "next".
Certainly there's a mind-boggling number of new features. But more
than that, Adobe has spent a lot of time listening to authors about
ways to make their workflow easier. The presentations were made by
Akshay Madan, Adobe Product Manager for RoboHelp. He and his team
have obviously been busy! Here's a recap:
1. What struck me right away was a multiple document
interface (MDI). You can work nicely among any number of topics
that are open and displayed in tabs. I'm glad to see that they are
not planning to throw the baby out with the bathwater. The popular
and friendly Word-like WYSIWYG editor is still central to the main
work area. You still feel like a writer and not a coder (no offense
to programmers).
2. At the same time, the UI is more modern and cleanly laid
out. There are also customizeable toolbars and "pods" that can be
moved around and configured the way the author works. These
configurations can be given a name so for example, an author can
have a layout for authoring sessions and one for editing sessions.
3. These movable panels or pods are handy, but I also like
that you can quickly return to "factory defaults" in case the
layout becomes too fragmented.
4. No <kadov> tags! These much-maligned tags are often
used by competitors to bad-mouth RoboHelp. Well, they'll have to
come up with something else because I saw nice clean,
color-customizable code behind the WYSIWYG editor.
5. There is also Unicode and double-byte support for
something like 34 different languages including Asian and Eastern
European characters.
6. For single sourcing, the author can create multiple TOCs
and name them so that they are easy to use when generating output
for different audiences (or for print vs. online).
7. Help for translators: Because of MDI, a translator can
have an English topic open in a pane side-by-side with a Japanese
topic for easier comparison and editing. Languages can also be
mixed. So, I can have Japanese, Greek or any number of words or
phrases mixed within a topic. The same is true for the TOC, Index
of keywords or Glossary of terms and definitions.
8. Snippets of HTML code make it easy to have chunks of text
and graphics saved for re-use. For example a logo graphic and
copyright statement can be saved and placed in multiple topics. If
you change the logo or text in the snippet, the changes are
populated wherever the snippet has been placed (kind of like
RoboHelp 6's User Defined Variables on steroids).
9. Breadcrumbs offer a nice touch for the user experience
with links that show the user where they are in the heirarchy of
topics.
10. Searching in WebHelp/Flashhelp: When searching, the "hit"
terms are highlighted in a color of the author's choosing. This can
easily be turned off by the user as well.
11. Much improved Framemaker MIF support. Matthew Stern was
at STC and was impressed. "You can import a MIF file directly into
RoboHelp and everything is retained: variables, graphics (including
Flash and Acrobat 3D files), and conditional text."
12. There is support for MS Vista and Office 2007 including
the new XML-based .docx format, (though this was not yet enabled in
the pre-alpha build I saw.)
13. Better Screen capture manipulation within topics.
14. Adobe representatives also said there would be news
posted on the
Adobe TechComm Blog
with invitations to sign up for the beta program when it gets
underway.
After using RoboHelp since 1992, I get caught up in the
feature race like everyone else. But, as Vivek Jain, Group Product
Manager for RoboHelp said, features are not the only thing that
define innovation. Rather he says, "Quality is innovation."
This should put a rest to the "RoboHelp is dead" garbage.
As a user and instructor since 1992 it was very satisfying
and exciting to see these sneak peeks and that Adobe is not only
bringing RoboHelp back to life, but making it a central piece of
the suite of applications that make up the Technical Communications
(RoboHelp, Framemaker, Captivate and Acrobat).
Sneaks peeks were also shown for Adobe Framemaker 8 and Adobe
Captivate 3 as well. The sneak peeks were introduced with the usual
caveats, such as,“The features presented during the
Technology Sneak peek contain proof of concept features and
features in the development pipeline. They are not final for the
next release however we want to take this opportunity to show the
general direction of where we are taking the products.” They
also mentioned that while they cannot comment about release dates,
they "expect to see new releases this year." However, from what I
saw, this pre-alpha build looked stable and rich with the
functionality I've outlined.
It's an exciting time for technical communicators!

Hi all,
That certainly looks like a promising list of possible
enhancements. :-)
I've been putting off switching to Flare for a few reasons
(for me, the user friendliness of the editor doesn't appeal) and
have been hoping that Adobe would pick up on RoboHelp and develop
it further.
RoboHelp's ease of use just seems to allow me to concentrate
more on creating content and that has always been its major
advantage.
Maybe I'm just getting lazy, and I know all software has its
foibles, but spending time fighting with an editor to get the
output to look and behave how I want is not where I want to be.
Even the great RoboHelp kadov debate doesn't bother me so long as
the output works, but, if they can get rid of proprietary tags so
the code is more compliant - brilliant.
The X6 release came across as a first step but not
necessarily a needed upgrade - the stuff they're talking about for
the next release looks much more promising, and definitely feels
like a reason to hang on with RoboHelp a while longer.
By the way, does anyone know if the X6 version still strips
out meta tags from source when you produce output files? The
feature list of X6 didn't prompt me to upgrade immediately, but X5
gives me a world of hurts with metatags, and that could actually be
something that could get me to shell out some dosh for the X6
version rather than wait for what looks like a major new release.
Sorry for being lazy and not installing the trial to see, but
I'm a bit tight on project time so if anyone knows I'd really
appreciate it. Thanks.
PS - something that made me laugh out loud this morning:
"One of the most interesting requests from customers at the
STC Conference Minneapolis was for a migration path from Flare to
RoboHelp. Clearly, some of the customers, who had migrated from
RoboHelp to Flare, want to come back to RoboHelp."
http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/robohelp
The MadCap people seem very helpful, but some of their
marketing comes across as too pushy, so that blog really made me
smile. Maybe Adobe are almost 'too'big', but with the new release
talk, it looks like things might be about to get interesting again.
Cheers

Word 2000 hyperlinks don't work in .pdf created with Acrobat 9 Pro

I'm new to Adobe Forums, so please overlook the effrontery of my posting a query previously discussed. Perhaps someone can simply reply with a link to the prior discussion. I have installed Acrobat 9.2 Pro in 2 computers, one running XP64 Pro, the other XP32 Pro. Word 2000 is installed in both. All Word hyperlinks work fine, but after .pdf conversion using Acrobat 9.2 Pro, none of these work. In 'Preferences', I have navigated Convert to PDF > Microsoft Office Office Word > Edit Settings > Add Links to Adobe PDF File and confirmed that the Add Links feature is enabled. Having ascertained that this glitch is not specific to either XP64 or XP32 operating systems, I uninstalled Acrobat 9.2 Pro from the XP32 computer and reinstalled Acrobat 6.1 Pro. Then using the same Word 2000 document, I converted to .pdf using Acrobat 6.1 Pro, with no problems whatsoever. This looks like a serious bug in Acrobat 9 Pro, which the telephone support folks have acknowledged. Alas, they won't give me the tiniest clue how to resolve it, nor any workaround, but merely refer me to AdobeForums.com for help. I suspect a corrective patch or 'upgrade' will be forthcoming, but meanwhile, if anyone knows of a workaround, please enlighten me. Thanks. /rmbrown

Thank you, CtDave, for your speedy reply and for the 'Acrobat Technical Evangelist' knowledge base article. Word 2000 is one of Microsoft's masterpieces - by disabling 'autosave', the application is totally stable, does not require 'activation' by Microsoft. Acrobat 9 enables 'saving' of interactive .pdf forms, a most valuable feature and one much appreciated by anyone completiing such forms. There must be more to this issue than 'incompatibility', because I can create a test Word 2000 document, hyperlink a valid URL, convert to .pdf with Acrobat 9, and the hyperlink works fine in Acrobat 9. When I attempt to do this using a much more complex Word 2000 document, embedded with scores of hyperlinks, these links fail to work following conversion to .pdf with Acrobat 9, but work fine following conversion to .pdf with Acrobat 6. I can then use Acrobat 9 to open the .pdf created with Acrobat 6, and successfully edit any of these fully functional hyperlinks using the 'Link tool'. I don't know who prepared the 'Acrobat Technical Evangelist' article (AF1908DCd01) - no credits were cited, and I'm far from certain that this authentically belongs to Adobe's knowledge base. So I appreciate your sharing this information with me, but I cannot say that my question has been definitively answered. If you have any further information or tips, please reply in this thread. /rmbrown
