Acrobat 9 pdf links not working from InDesign CS3. What is wrong?

My links are working in my 40 page Indesign CS3 file using Mac. After I convert to a .pdf, some of the links are no longer going to the right location. They have either duplicated other links, or trying to take me incorrectly to my desktop or network. Can't figure out what is wrong.

Links meant to go to an outside website are supposed to be filled out in the following format : http://www.phillipmjones.net
in Acrobat should look something like : This is my personal website
In Acrobat go go create you link then click on action:
(I'm using my own personal website as an example)
If you choose something else such as open a file then that is what it does.

Just cross check certain things
- The servlet you specified in Form Action is correct
- The Form Method must be POST not GET
- The query string param you are specifying in URL which is classifiedsearchtype, You are trying to get the same param in the servlet. It is case sensitive.

Navigation Link not working from save search result

Hello Experts,
We have a requirement in our application which is created from scratch, I have implemenetd save search and its working fine, we have some navigation links in result. these links does not work from save search results moreover it works with normal search.
Can anybody help me out to achieve it.
Thanks in advance,
Madhu Omer

Hi Madhu,
If you want to trigger cross-component navigation to an overview page, then the following conditions should be satisfied:
1. Your last outbound plug calls method fire_outbound_plug( ).
2. The collection passed in fire_outbound_plug( ) contains two entities - a navigation descriptor as the first entity and a root object of the object you want to navigate to as the second entity.
In your case, is condition 2 satisfied? You can create a navigation descriptor by calling the following method passing its two mandatory importing parameters as indicated:
CL_CRM_UI_DESCRIPTOR_OBJ_SRV=>CREATE_UI_OBJECT_BASED(
    EXPORTING
        IV_UI_OBJECT_TYPE = * UI object type of object to which you want to navigate *
        IV_UI_OBJECT_ACTION = 'B'            "for Display
If you keep debugging the standard outbound plugs, then you will see that at some location, SAP will surely be inserting this navigation descriptor object in the collection as first object in the collection when calling fire_outbound_plug( ).
If you still can't trigger navigation, please mention the BOL objects you are working with, the component you have created and where you have used it.

I have the new ipad and tried to set up my work email and it did not work.Tried several times, what is wrong?

I am trying to set up my work email on my new ipad3 and the exchange email is not working for me. What am I doing wrong?

Make sure your work it folks are ok with the pad. They can tell device type, and some companies simply don't want pads on their mail systems. ( yes, I know....)
There is also usually another password entering the flow, your exchange password, that may be different than your normal password. Give your friendly it guy a call.

Conversion of Microsoft Word 2010 to PDF-Links not working in the PDF

I have a Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit Operating System and Microsoft Word 2010. There is a particular word document(Word 2010) that I need to convert to PDF.I did a "save as" and stored it as a PDF. But the issue in the PDF is that the links in the "Table of Contents" do NOT work. I am using Adobe Reader 10.1.2.Please let me know how could I do the conversion and how can the links work correctly

Adobe Reader 10.1.2 cannot convert DOC files to PDFs. You will need Adobe Acrobat to do this.
Save As > Adobe PDF feature is using Microsoft's PDF converter. You may need to follow up with them regarding the same.

PDF links not working in Safari?

I'm noticing that links in PDFs (made with Acrobat 9) are not accessible when viewing the PDF in Safari (although they do work in iBooks). Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

I don't beleive Safari for iOS opens PDF documents natively. You may need a reader, such as Goodreader to open them.
Correction - it does open the PDFs in the browser (but gives a choice of otherapps). My mistake

PDF Link Not Working - Can't Isolate the Issue

I have a unique issue I can't figure out. The trouble
shooting I have done so far is this: (1) I've recreated my Topic
several times using old topics that work, ones in version control,
ones not in version control, blank ones, and even from scratch as a
New Project. (2) I've recreated my Word Doc and PDF. (3) I've
uninstalled Robo Help 5 and reinstalled it. (4) I've uninstalled
then reinstalled Adobe. (5) I've uninstalled then reinstalled MS
Office. After reinstalling all of the above, I created the Topic
yet another time.
I took an existing Project which was initially created in v4
with a PDF Link created in Word then converted to a PDF in Word.
This topic was not in version control and I copied it onto my Local
Drive. From my Local Drive, I modified the Topic to include all of
my new information. I left the original PDF Link, however, to test
it. Here are the results:
A) The original PDF Link still operates just fine. It
launches the PDF with no problem.
B) The new PDF Links I am trying to create refuse to work no
matter what I do. WHY? When I click on the PDF Link in my compiled
CHM, I get an Internet Explorer Window with an error that the "Page
cannot be displayed". I have tried this on a network drive and on a
local drive.
Are there any ideas or suggestions? Linking a PDF does not
require rocket science. I have done dozens of them over the past
couple years and never had this issue. All of my other hyperlinks
are working just fine (ie to external CHMs) - just not to PDF or
DOC files.
1 thing I did notice which is why I uninstalled then
reinstalled everything: I found the new option inside Word of
ROBOPDF, and that is what I initially used. When I noticed a
coworker did things differently, I decided to delete that,
reinstall it all, then created the PDF the old way through the PDF
Maker toolbar in Word. I got the same results.
Please, please email me if possible:
[email protected]

Internal pdf links not working in chrome and firefox

I have some PDF files that I am adding links to additional PDF files that are located in the same folder on our webserver using Acrobat Pro XI. The links work fine in IE and the other PDF files open up and display well in the IE browser, but the links don't even show up in Chrome and will not open in Firefox. Further, the links in Safari, deliver an error message pop up saying the file could not be opened. If you click OK, the file does open. Also, in Acrobat > Tools > Add or Edit Link, I can change the properties to "Open File" and pick the "Open in New Window" option, but when I save the changes and come back, the option has automatically changed back to "Execute a Menu Item" and of course, the file I'm linking to does not open in a new Window. These files were originally created in Word by another person and the person who converted them to PDF added fillable form fields throughout the document prior to converting to PDF. The links I am adding are being added using Acrobat Pro XI in the PDF file. Should we insert the above-mentioned links in the Word docs prior to converting to PDF to ensure the links work in all browsers, or are these browser issues common to all internal PDF links?
Please help!
Thanks,

Make sure that you are using the Adobe PDF NPAPI viewer for Chrome and Firefox. Both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox now have their own default PDF viewers.
To change Chrome's settings use this blog: Change PDF Viewer back to Adobe’s in Google Chrome « Caveat Lector

Mailto: link not working from a particular website but works from others

the mailto: links on my website are not working in firefox v26.0 but other sites mailto links work perfectly well and open gmail has i would expect them to. i know the links on my site are working has i have tested them in chrome and work has expected so the issue is purely within firefox.
Can anyone give me any clues

hi
This is where things are upto:
Tried everything that has been suggested so far without success,
I therefore unistalled firefox and rebooted computer and reinstalled FF and retested the links from the top level frameset then clicking the Contact Us link in the left frame.
The mailto: links when clicked on now open a newly composed message by firstly initiating a new tab within chrome its self (mailto: set to use google chrome within Options-> Options->Applications). If I set this to be Use Gmail then the problem i was having returns.
Does anyone have any suggestions of why this is.

PDF Printer not working from portal

Hi Experts,
We are on EP7 SPS13 & ITS version 620 patch level 20.
problem we face is PDF printing from Portal. But when we directly access through ITS, PDF printer is working.
Could anyone give some inputs on this.
regards
ambicasony

A server exception would suggest you are using Acrobat in the cloud. I don't have an answer in that case other than trying later. Is the Adobe PDF printer indeed installed on your machine or in the cloud?

Links not working from cs3 to cs4

Draft PDF link not working?

OK, this is happening now for someone using both Contribute CS4 and Contribute CS3 (we're also using the Contribute Publishing Server, if that matters).
We've tried sending a PDF as a draft to someone else by using the "Send File from My Computer" option. The PDF is listed in the Draft Console, however, nothing happens when one clicks the link (it's like the Draft Console just reloads) and there doesn't appear to be any way to approve, delete, etc. the draft PDF that we were sent.
If I right click on the link, and do copy, I get a link like http://www.example.com/MMWIP/f42d9d462bb09f15/6620e8ceca42d429.pdf (which I guess isn't surprising since it's a draft). If I copy it into a regular browser, I get the PDF that we uploaded for review so I know it's there, but if I paste it into contribute, I just return to the Draft Console.
Any ideas about what might be going on here? Apparently it was working on Contribute 3.11, which is the version that the person using CS4 had been using. Most sites are administered by me, who is using CS3. I don't know if that might cause any problems or not.

The workflow of the drafts have been changed in the newer version (from CS4) of Contribute. To know more about the new workflow process, please refer to Assigning workflow & drafts review process.
Since the draft workflow had been enhanced,
a) The draft created and send for review/edit/publish from CS5 (/CS4) to the user using CS3, will not receive the draft.
b) The draft created and send for review from CS3 to the user using CS5 (/CS4), the user will receive the draft, but will follow the CS3 draft review process, not the new review process.
If this is not the case, please check by sending the PDF to the same user.

Creating a PDF with a watermark from InDesign CS3

Hello,
I have a question on exporting or printing a PDF file that will have a watermark.
What I'm wanting to do is take a InDesign file (and/or Quark file) and export/print a PDF file that will be in low res and have a watermark placed on it. (for a "Review" copy)
I am aware that I can place a watermark on a PDF file with Acrobat Pro, but it seems like I need to make the PDF file first then place the watermark. I am wanting to do this in the exporting/printing step all at the same time.
Thank you any information.
Scott Isbrecht

OK, maybe I need to reword the question.
I have a full version of Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.
I am wanting to take a file/book that is in Indesign/or Quarkxpress and make a PDF file that is in a lower quality/resolution that also has a watermark "review stamp" on at least the front cover, if not on every page. (would like it on every page)
If there is not a way to export a PDF file out of InDesign or Quarkxpress this way, can it be done by printing a .PS (postscript) file and have Distiller create the PDF file?
I would like to keep the InDesign/Quark file "As Is" in a final print ready format, and be able to produce a smaller "review" PDF with a watermark on each page of the PDF file. (watermark on cover page only would be OK)
This way there is no chance of this file making its way to a full scale printer and it being printed with a low quality PDF (review copy).
Any information would help out.
Thanks,

Printing NOT working from PS CS3 - Z3100 but DOES work with Lightroom 2

I have been printing on a Mac with PS CS3 using a Z3100. All has been fine. Today I'm trying to print a 46x54" image from PS. I have not been able to make this work. PS sits for a while, thinks for a while, chews up resources, hangs on occassion as reported by the Activity Monitor, and then .... nothing. PS sits there and the print goes away. The job never appeared in the print monitor. I did all the usual. Rebooted the world, reinstalled the HP Z3100 drivers, and the same thing. I then gave it a shot, after many hours, and thought I'd try Lightroom 2.0. Holy mother of Michael Phelps, the print job was submitted in no time and the job is humming along with no issues. The only issue is that Lightroom is not showing Absolute Colorimetric as an option which I use and chose Perceptual instead.
The file size was 1.2 GB and 16-bit. I lowered to 8 bit for PS and still to no avail. I printed in 8-bit on LR 2.0.
Is this an issue with Photoshop? I'm running a Mac Pro Quad with on OS X 10.4.11 and 6 GB of RAM.

Something has gone wrong with how Lightroom finds and communicates with Photoshop.
That could be a registry string, or some preference within Lightroom.
The Lightroom forum is more likely to be able to help you solve this.
