Acrobat X external document linking problem

Hello,
I have been using Acrobat 6 standard for our user manuals for years and have recently started using Acrobat X.
It seems that the external document linking has changed though. I used to put all of our 3rd party literature (PDFs) in a separate folder (to keep it clean and neat) under our main manual PDF. I would link to all those documents inside our user manual PDF. Then when I later burned the PDF and the 3rd party literature to a CD, as long as I maintained the folder heirarchy, everything worked just fine.
Under Acrobat X though this doesn't seem to be the case. If I just burn it to a CD, then the all of the external links are broken. I have been able to do this by adding Desinations names to the 3rd part literature but this is a lot more work and I don't want to modify all of the 3rd party docs. In addition, some of them are read only and you cannot edit them.
Does anyone know how to link to external documents in Acrobat X and then move them to a new location while maintaining the link without editing the external documents (some are read only).
Thank you for any help you can give me.

The Javascript code populates a field on the form and the If Then statement sets this value based on the amount in another field. I have changed all of the values in the If Then statement but the button is still using the old values.
I have tried this on three different computers and it will not pick up the new values.

InDesign to Adobe Acrobat to Adobe Reader Link problem

Hi - I'm responsible for a long conversation about link problems in creating file links in InDesign that did not work in Acrobat. At the end of that long discussion, I thought I solved the problem, but didn't. Since then, I've been MUCH more observant.
The problem appears to take place in Adobe Reader.
My home computer on Win7 is different than my work Computer (XP), but I have the same software on both.
At work, I discovered that when I clicked on a PDF, it worked fine, that its links opened a new PDF window, but when I clicked on links on the second document, the links failed and Microsoft returned an error message telling me that I was screwed. Because I was screwed, I couldn't see what was in the path of that error.
It turns out that for some unknown reason (which you might clarify for me), my Adobe Readers are attempting to open my documents in Internet Explorer and that just won't work.
What I observed at home is that I made 5 test documents in ID, and ported them to Acrobat. As it turns out, my default for opening PDFs is Adobe Reader, which I saw on the chrome of the first document I opened. When I clicked a link, and I got the error message, I noticed my browser was up.
When I set my default for opening in Acrobat, everything worked like a charm! How about that!
Now then, what that says to me is that Adobe Reader is to be used exclusively with a browser, so if the people who are going to read your internal PDF files with Reader without those files being on a web server of some type, you are totally screwed. The only way you can use Reader is if you click on the file and bring it up directly. Don't rely on linking to other documents.
I mean, that is what it seems to me.
Now, I am creating a big project for an environment without a webserver and obviously my sense of panic is palpable. That said, I believe that all my users can read my files using Acrobat (to be tested tomorrow), which I hope means I can breathe a bit easier.
Do any of you have any thoughts on this subject? If you are really curious, I can make a packet of test files available.

The files and the PDFs are all in the same directory.
The tests are on local drives. All indesign files and their related PDFs were in the same directory.
The same for Word and its related PDFs. Note that the PDFs created by Word then read by Adobe Reader worked correctly. They all opened in Adobe Reader.
If the default program for opening PDFs is Acrobat, everything works correctly, with the added benefit of everything opening in a different window, which is what I want (yet to be tested at work). If the default program is Adobe Reader, the second generation of links do NOT work because Reader opens in Internet Explorer.
When I open a Word-created PDF with Acrobat, view the link, and click to the Actions menu, the action is "Open a file"
When I open an InDesign PDF with Acrobat and do the same, the action says "Open a web link"
Big BIG BIG bug.
Are you seeing the link commands by editing them in Acrobat? If not, try, so you can see the exact command and file or URL instruction. It still may be a bug, but you'll have better evidence when you report it here:
Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
And, you might want to try correcting a link command in Acrobat, to see if can work for both Acrobat and Reader.

External Document Linking

Can someone tell me if it's possible to link to a specific
area of an external document via ColdFusion?
For example, I can create a link to a Micorsoft Word
document. But is it possible to link to a certain page or paragraph
within the document?
Thanks,
Brian

i was thinking that this is not possible, but, after testing
with it a couple minutes... select the word where you want your
"anchor". then under the insert menu you have the bookmark option.
give it a name (myAnchortest) save your document and upload it to a
web server.
refer to the document from a page...
myMSWordDoc.doc#myAnchortest
that looks like it will work...i just didnt test it.

Acrobat Online PDF Destinations Linking Problem

Hi
I've created several destinations from several web pages to different end points within a single PDF document. Our testers are confirming an intermitent problem where they link to a different end point than is set for that link. Thi may occur 1 out of 5 or more attemps. In other words the link works correctly most of the time. Is there anything someone could suggest to prevent this from happening. I'm going to re-create the end points all over again, but I was hoping someone could come up with a better recommendation.
Thanks!

Here is the .pdf file (.jsp file) I need to open, i.e. the SC 30 Dismissal Small Claims Court.pdf (updated 11/05/13)--- (see screen shot):
This is what I see when I open the .pdf file (.jsp file) link with Internet Explorer (see screen shot):
This is what I see when I open the .pdf file link (.jsp file) with FireFox (see screen shot):
Here is the default programs in my Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit PC to open .jsp & .pdf files (see two screen shots):
I'm not a computer expert, but I think somehow I need a program or plug-in or something related to Java in order to open the .jsp files, not Adobe Reader. Can you assist me with figuring out the Java thing if you think that could be it?

Occasional document linking problems

We have a site that has a lot of links to resources for learners. In the past we've had some difficulties linking directly to .doc, .ppt, and/or .xls files. I think the problems usually involved Internet Explorer (or corporate standard) and various versions of the Flash plugin.
The problem would be that we would have a link to a resource that when clicked just wouldn't open. However it would be intermitent and only affect some users. So we were never quite able to get to the bottom of it, but I think it had something to do with IE trying to integrate with Office documents and having trouble with that. Our solution was to only link to PDFs or create a zip package of the files.
This was when we were using AS2 and getURL().
We are updating the tool to AS3 and I'm wondering if anybody else has had trouble using navigateToURL() and linking directly to Office documents?
I was thinking of replacing that with FileRefence to make it a download for all the documents instead of trying to open them in the browser. But I worry about having to deal with mutliple attempts at downloads and/or the fileReference instance going out of scope.
Should I stick with navigateToURL or switch to fileReference.download? Other ideas?
Anybody have advice on how I might approach this?

Were you able to get this fixed? Is it a ML issue or wifi card issue?

BP change documents ( linking problem between Object id and Business Partner)

Hi,
We need to create a report for documents changed for a Business partner.
This will be done in sap bw.
on source side I have created the datasource with function module changedocument_read and I am getting most of the information
which I want. Only missing part is Business Partner number.
Can somebody suggest , how I would be able to link Object Id to business partner.
I need to pull everything that is changed at BP level and the Object class selection around 30 in number.
So I am looking for any standard function module which can provide me the link between Object id and Business partner.
If I establish the rules to determine the Business partner from Object id , its getting bit difficult.
Can somebody please help/suggest.
I have gone through many documents and scn posts but unable to find anything on this.
Thanks !

Hi, looking at the change history header table CDHDR it seems that object ID simple equals the internal format of the business partner number.

How can I hyperlink from FM to an external document and make the links work in PDF-XChange Viewer?

A couple of months ago some of you kindly taught me how to insert links to an external document in FrameMaker. The syntax that made all the difference, was the following:
message openfile "H:/folder name/to/your/file.ext"
I converted my FrameMaker file to PDF format using Acrobat Distiller, and everything worked like a charm when the users opened the resulting PDF document in Acrobat Reader.
Much to my frustration, someone has now decided that the organisation should use PDF-XChange Viewer instead of Acrobat Reader, and my links don't work anymore... Nothing happens when you click on them. (This only applies to links to external documents. Links to e.g. websites work nicely.)
Has anybody got any idea what I could do to make the links work in PDF-Xchange Viewer as well? Or am I trying to do the impossible now?
Best regards
Jorunn

How to link to and open external document with Mac Dreamweaver

I'm evaluating Dreamweaver on the Mac. I know how to link to
an external document, such as a Word or Excel document. However, I
would like for the file to automatically open when the link is
clicked, rather than taking me to a directory window (where I then
have to double-click the file icon). Another option would be to
easily import data from a Word or Excel document, but the Help
indicates that's only possible when using Dreamweaver on Windows.
Thanks for any guidance you can provide.

What you need to do is this:
1.) back up all your data from your iPod
2.) reformat it on the Windows machine.
You'll then be able to use your iPod on both Windows and Mac:) If you need more help, let me know!

Yes, it looks like linking problem,...but for me everything seems set-up.
- Included header files (from instantclient-sdk-windows.x64-11.2.0.3.0.zip)
- Included library path from OCCI download (11.2.0.3.0)
- Added oraocci11d.lib in linker
Please, what am I doing wrong?
Millions of thanks for any kind of feedback ;-)

Have you succeeded? I tried vs2012 and it passed compilation, but gave the run-time error of _crtisvalidheappointer. But the same code runs well with vs2010. I think Oracle needs to publish the new patch for vs2012

Web Application Designer - Redirect document link to external documents

Dear all,
within a Web report we actually show document links (master data) by setting the parameter
DOCUMENT_ITEMS_MASTER_DATA in the corresponding Web Template to 'ON'.
Clicking the document link icon the corresponding document out of the BW document store is shown
This is standard.
We now want to replace this functionality by presenting documents (one per master data entry) stored on the application server of the BW-system in a separate window; means - a click oh the document icon shall lead to an 'external' document.
Is it possible to do this (f.e. using Javascript ?!)
Thanks in advance
Hagen

Dear Hagen,
I saw, that you worked and solved by your own the topic in

Could you provide your solution--- we have the same request ( do not broadcast empty queries with empty results)

Create External document (URL) in SAP Personas

Hi Smart People!
To save some steps and incorporate a scanner I am working on creating buttons to "Attach Documents" in different areas such as MM03, FB03, and a few others where we have to keep a scanned in document attached to certain other Materials or Payables and such. All docs are scanned in and saved online and then we use the "create external document (url) menu option to link it where it is needed in SAP.
In one place it works just fine and in the others it is not working at all and custom button or even just following the already existing menu options it keeps giving me this error. I tried search on the SCN and Google and no such luck on this error. Anyone have any ideas? See pic below and also the text below is the separated error so you can see what it actually says.
[Unknown] ses[0]/wnd[0]/usrUSRAREA/ctlcntITS/itsdoc
Thank you for any help you can give!

That screen shot is for the Silverlight browser plugin.
You can check your Personas version and patch level in System -> Status. Clicking on the magnifying glass in the SAP System Data box will list all the components of the ERP system. It will tell you what Personas version and SP is installed.
Something like this:
The above means Personas 2.0 SP2.
If you indeed happen to have Personas 2.0 with no support package (so SP level says 0000), then the first thing I'd recommend is to bring the system to the latest level, which would be like in the screen shot, and then trying again. There is a good chance the problem will be resolved.
If your system is completely up-to-date and it still gives you trouble, then create an OSS incident.

Purchase Order Modification: External Document Number already assigned

Hello,
We're running Extended Classic Scenario in a SRM 4.0 implementation.
The problem is the following: When the user modifies a purchase order (this purchase order is already replicated to the backend), sometimes (not always), the next error occurs:
"Purchase Order XXXXXXXXXX: PO header data still faulty "
"Purchase Order XXXXXXXXXX: External document number XXXXXXXXX already assigned"
The system does not provide additional info (RZ20 give us the same message, no ST22 dumps...
We think it could be some kind of error in the standard BAPI BAPI_PO_CHANGE.
We've revised the SAP OSS but didn´t find anything....
Some idea?
Regards and Thanks in advance!!!

Hi
Any other rrors / dumps noticved in system using RZ20 and ST22 transactions ?
Have you seen this helpful pointers and link ?
The related SAP OSS notes are as under :
"Purchase Order item 00010 still contains faulty account assignment items"
Note 1000184 - Account assignment error when document transfer to back end

External PDF links in Internet Explorer - PDF/A issue?

Hi,
I am having an issue with certain links within PDFs not working when the PDF is being viewed with IE. I have created external PDF links using the Go to a Page View linking feature within Acrobat and then opening an external PDF file and setting the link. The extrernal links work fine when viewing the PDFs within Acrobat, however when I view the PDFs within IE the external links do not work. I am running Acrobat 9.3 and IE 8.
I know there is an issue with PDF/A disabling external PDF links, is it possible that IE always displays PDFs in PDF/A mode, even though I have set PDF/A View Mode to never within Acrobat? Also, I do not remember this being an issue in earlier releases of Acrobat 9, however I am supporting a large group of people that have already updated to Acrobat 9.3 and would hate to have to roll them back. Any ideas as to a possible solution would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
