Adding many hyperlinks to images / pdf imports in InDesign

Hi, I have recently imported a PDF into Indesign which are now images. One page is the table of contents and I wish to add a link over the top of the image so I can link to other parts of the document.
How do I add many hotspots or hyperlinks to 1 page that is 1 image?
thanks!

Draw a bunch of no fill/no stroke frames and convert them buttons. Then
add the function to them.

How should I save Tritone image for import into InDesign?

Photoshop only gives me 4 file format options, and InDesign CS4 only accepts one, .EPS
Otherwise I got the error, "This files uses an unsupported color space."
There are several .EPS options. I chose "Single File with Color Composite". However, I'm concerned because the image looks fine in Photoshop but a little faded when I import it into InDesign and then export it as a PDF.

Problem with a product image/pdf production in Indesign CS5

Hi,
this problem probably has an obvious solution, but I can't figure it out due to my limited experience in using Indesign. I'm trying to export my poster lay-out as pdf, but one of the several product images does not show up in the exporte pdf correctly. Instead of a product image, I only get this white image that is similar to the shape of the product image, but the actual product image is not visible. The product image is a .psd -file and it shows correctly in InDesign document, but not in the exported .pdf file. Could somebody help me to tackle this problem?
BR,
Masa

Hi,
- It shows in the preview mode
- I'm using only one layer in the layout with all the images on it
- The image is not non-printing in the Attributes panel
- Links have no errors and theya re up to date
When I create the PDF via FILE > PRINT, then the problem does not occur, but I have another problem with white margins on both top and bottom of the .pdf-file. ¨
I still would like to create the pdf via Export.
Thank you for your quick reply, what's next?

PDF with hyperlinks to images and other PDFs.

Hi, All.
I would like to create a small booklet with approximately 12 to 16 pages as a PDF document but wish to have images and text in the document set as hyperlinks so that they can launch other images and/or documents. In other words, a viewer could click on an image or text and then see an enlarged image open on the center of his computer screen or see another document open over the original PDF. This would work in a similar fashion to what one can do with interactive books on the iPad created with iBook Author.
The questions I have are:
Where can I find more material to read on how to create PDF with these features?
I have seen PDFs that open with an application on screen that makes them 'feel' more like a real magazine. They are not a typical Acrobat or similar PDF viewer but rather an application that 'flips' the pages in a similar manner to what one would do holding a real magazine. Is it possible to do this with the PDF documents launched by hyperlinks on my PDF document?
Can these hyperlinks open enlarged images in the center of the screen while the remaining area around the image (background) become darker to place emphasis on the image?
How can I learn more about these features and how to use them with Acrobat and PDF documents?
In case the information is relevant I am currently running Acrobat 9 Pro version 9.5.3 on a Mac.
This is sort of an urgent project so any help you can share will be very appreciated.
TIA,
Joe.

Many of my images have disappeared while trying to export/convert a file down to a PDF

I am making a portfolio for a submission, so when I finished, I was converting/saving it to a PDF file. I was trying to make the file smaller as to fit in the required submission size. As I was doing that, many of my images disappeared. A lot of them seem to be images I brought over from Adobe Illustrator. Some linked files are gone, while others remain. I am confused how this happened. Even some text that I generated within InDesign is now gone. I sadly saved before I realized this, so when I reopened it, the blank pages remained. Some of the images though have the context/frame boxes still, but no images. Any help?
I'm using InDesign 2014 and I am using a MAC

Can you detect the missing images in the Links panel?

I created my first movie using one long video (all photos) clip created in Keynote and imported to Imovie. I added many music clips, some overlapping. I now want to lay down a new updated video clip, eliminate the original but retain the audio. Can I?

I created my first movie using one long video (a montage of photos) clip created in Keynote and imported to Imovie. I added many music clips, some overlapping. I now want to lay down a new updated video clip, eliminate the original video, but retain the audio. Can I? And if so, how. I cant seem to
find the info anywhere in help.

I would suggest that you go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure that Advanced Tools are enabled.
Then, you can drag your new video clip on top of your old clip and a popup menu should appear. Choose REPLACE.

One of Many Hyperlinks not working within Visio 2007 PDF document

I am using Visio 2007 to publish a PDF document, and am running Acrobat 9.4. All hyperlinks in this document are to pages within
the same single Visio/PDF document (no external links).
However, after exporting the Visio document to the Acrobat (PDF document), some (not all) of the hyperlinks in the PDF version do not function. The links
are visible, exist and function from within Visio itself.
Have tried deleting and recreating, copying and editing working links but to no avail.
Any help greatly appreciated.

I did not see an answer to this problem. What was the solution? I am having the same problem. My drawing include lines that are hyperlinks which are defined in depth on following pages. However, the lines that cross over each links get confused.

UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithData:imageData];
UIImageView *m_oImageViewer = [[UIImageView alloc]init];
m_oImageViewer.image = image;

Please guid me if i am missing anything.

Hi Sreelatha. The best example code for your purpose is the Scrolling sample app I referred to previously. The word Scrolling in that post is a link to the download page. I think that code will answer all your questions about how to init a UIImage, then use it to init a UIImageView, and then position the UIImageView frame in a UIScrollView. Two cases are demostrated: 1) Scrolling horizontally through a series of images; 2) Scrolling both H & V over a single image which is several times larger than the window.
You might also be interested in the PageControl sample app in case you want to add a page control to your scroll view.
Reading your last post again... I sure hope we've been discussing images (like jpegs?) in this thread. This isn't about reading and rendering the actual xls, pdf and doc files, is it?? Of course the iPhone handles html beautifully, so for example, an html representation of a doc file would play nicely. But in that case you'd want a UIWebView, not a UIImageView.

Settings added when when images are imported

When I import images into Lightroom3 the images have already been tweaked. How do I turn off the setting as the images are imported? Second, when I attempt to send images to Photoshop for editing Lightroom makes a copy, how can I stop this fom happening?

Two things to avoid that LR applies "tweaking" on import.
1) Make sure that the <Apply Auto-tone adjustments> box is unchecked. You find it under <Preferences> in the <Presets tab>.
2) In the Import Dialog on the right hand side, in the panel <Apply During Import>, make sure that <Develop Settings> shows <None>.
There is no way to avoid making a copy when you open a RAW-file in PS. PS can not save a file as a true RAW-file; there is a Photoshop-RAW but that is not a true RAW-file like the one that your camera creates.Since PS can save your edits only in a different format than true RAW, by necessity a copy has to be made.
If you have JPG's in LR (or TIFFs or PSD's) and want to edit them in PS, you can choose <Open Original> and then no copy is made. But when you open these as <Edit a Copy with LR Adjustments> then again a copy is made.

Hyperlink Problem, slow PDF load

I had previously built a Web site with an earlier version of iWeb, and posted it on my site (not .mac) with no problems. I needed to redesign the site; I used iWeb version 2.02. I did everything the way I did before as far as creating hyperlinks, but this time there were problems. The hyperlinks assigned to text mostly work, but the pdf's associated with them load incredibly slowly. Much slower than previously. Additionally, I tried to use images to create hyperlinks, also to pdf files, and some of them worked and others didn't. They were just dead. I tried several times but to no avail.
Does anybody have any suggestions? Also, when installing a hyperlink, and choosing the related file, is there anyway to edit the file's actual pathway? The dialog box just allows me to choose files, which it then loads automatically.
Thanks,
Rex

Hi,
Well, then why don't we get right to figuring out what the reasons are.
-Can I assume we are talking about PDF documents created using a MAC?
-Being exported using either Pages or the Print dialog?
-Using what quality setting if in Pages?
-Compressing or not compressing using Quartz Filter in the Print Dialog?
-Exported files to be opened using which application, browser or program?
If you are making these decisions as necessary than the only other thing you could look at would be the content imported into the documents at time of creation. That is unless your documents have security issues that created problems for those using other platforms during the last year.
Working your way through the above checklist should help you answer your original question.

Images/PDFs in another server

Can I specify a URL (http://someserver.com/image.gif) as a place holder for the location of a PDF or image file? I believe that MDM stores a local copy of the file in the server. This is not desirable in my project because the latest version of the files will be stored in another server. The desired behavior is that MDM will grab the most up-to-date version from the image server and display it on the screen, even the thumbnails.
I tested the "Link to original", as opposed to "store in repository", option when added the image/PDF file. When I deleted the original file that was on my PC, MDM still was able to display the image that I originally loaded. Hence, my suspicion that MDM stores a local copy in the server.
Regards,
Simon

Hi Simon,
Currently MDM supports one of two approaches:
1. Loading images into the repository (preferred)
2. Linking to images stored on a file system (no http-driven access).
Your requirement is noted and others have requested it but no current plans for this functionality for a variety of reasons (many of them related to image management/manipulation capabilities built into MDM's Image Manager application)

How to hyperlink from a pdf file to a specific page in a second pdf file

I would like to setup a set of pdf documents, on the hard disk of a PC or Mac, that can be open in acrobat pro and have hyperlinks that jump to, and open in a new window, in acrobat pro, to a given page of a second document in the set.
It seems to me to be something that everyone would want to do and should be simple enough.
But I seem to be missing something.
I had partial success a few years ago using what I recall are the following general points:
Create files in word,
Use absolute address
Use / not \,
Converting the spaces in the address to %20
Set the hyperlink base to “file:///T:/PdfDocumentsFolder/”
Add location with #page=3 to end of file name,
Convert to pdf with acrobat pdfmaker
Open pdf with web browser into reader.(could not get it to work on mac with OS 9) by Checking Edit-Preferences-Internet-Web Browser Options-Display PDF in browser
This will allow the pdf to open to a given page, but only in the acrobat reader under MS IE, Not in Acrobat pro and not on a mac even in the reader.
Now I have a large (500) PDF documents with a very large number of comments and a key user switched to a Mac and can not automatically go to the page and would lose or have to transfer comments that have been made on the pdfs.
I have looked at and tried a number of things that have not worked:
Change all the links by hand:
Tools-Advanced Editing-Link
Action-Open file
I can not see where when Inserting a link by hand one can place the page number
Action-Open weblink
Close, This can open a file,
If Edit-Preferences-Internet-Web Browser Options-Display PDF is checked it will jump to a page
But if it is not checked it will open in acrobat pro and not to the page
Does not seem to work on a mac
Looked at acrobat javascript
Don’t seem to see any method that would allow a page number
Under open document
Open under a URL
app.launchURL("Document.pdf", true);
seems to error if a #page=2 is add to file name
Looked at security
Don’t seem to see that there is anything in the preferences that can be set to enable the jump to page action
Looked at privileged and non-privileged and did not see how that would help
Looked at adding disclosed=true;
function Disclose()
this.disclosed = true;
Looked at Portfolios to see if some kind of group of documents would allow the jumps but could not find a solution.
I have not looked at bookmarks to see if I bookmarked every page “Pagexxx” and then jump to the bookmark would get around the problem.
So I am not getting the right combination and could use some help
Thanks
John
Current Systems in use:
Windows XP
Acrobat 9 pro version 9.4.4
Or
Mac OS 10 Lion version 10.7.4
Acrobat 9 pro version 9.5.1
(note I have limited understanding of Mac’s)
P.S.
In a similar vain within the word source documents I was able to get a hyperlinks to make the same kind of jump to a page using a VBA macro with the following call:
Shell "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe /A page=" & iPageNum & "&Zoom=125=OpenActions """ & sHyperlinkBase & sHyperlinkAddress & """", vbNormalFocus
After parsing the hyperlink and to get file name and the page number
So I know acrobat pro can be called as an application to jump to a page

Thanks for that information.
I did not see that the “go to view link” could change documents. I thought it was only within a document.
I manually added two “go to view links” and that seems to work on both mac and pc computers.
That brings up two questions.
For old files can a acrobat java script batch file be setup to read the hyperlinks in a pdf document and replace them with a “go to view link” style?
Can one place a “go to view link” style in a word document and then have the adobe convert to acrobat process it into the pdf format with the rest of the document? (or set up the converter to make word hyperlinks change to pdf “go to view links”?

Can't view some images or export them to PDF from CS6 InDesign

I recently reimaged my Win7 PC hard drive and I was told by Adobe that I needed to reinstall CS6.
I was editing a document I've been working on for months and when I went to export it to PDF, like I've done many times in the past (pre-reimaged hard drive), I got an error message during the PDF export. Now when I view the document in ID, many of the graphics on other pages display as grey boxes and I can't export to PDF(or print to PDF) anything but grey boxes or no images for many of the images/graphics. Or, I may get a PDF without the graphics, but a dark area for the drop shadow only in place of the graphic. When I try to relink the graphics I get an error message that says "You don't have permission to open this file. Contact the file owner or an administrator to obtain permission." I am the file owner and admin. These files gave me no problems before this reinstall.
I also found that if I try to open an offending AI or EPS files in AI CS6, I get a similar message that says, "Can't open the illustration. The file may be read only, or the files is in use by another application, or you do not have the required permissions. Please save the document with a different name, or in a different folder or directory. -54"
I uninstalled and reinstalled CS6 again (as administrator), and did the appropriate updates. Same results.
I also opened another client's file and had a similar issue when I exported to PDF.
I tried to save the first file to IDML so I could open it in CS5, which (CS5) has been working perfectly since the reinstall. When I created the IDML from CS6, it did some really strange things when opening it in CS5, including while opening the IDML file, it would "call" an ID CS6-based file, which of course, CS5 didn't like at all. It then goes into an endless loop which requires Windows Task Manager to get out of the program.
Any ideas as to what's going on here? Do I need to change some settings in ID? Acrobat?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

I found the solution in other discussions...
I need to run iTunes in 32-Bit mode.

Image instead of List Name, and hyperlink the image to view 'All Items.aspx' page

Hi,
I would like remove the Page title for list (i.e., name of the list in view all items.aspx page) , and instead use image and hyperlink the image
to 'All items.aspx" page.
Using developer tool found the element (#PageTitle) and added 'Script Editor' webpart and below css script to it. I am successful in replace the
title to image, however, I am unable to add the HTML tag for hyperlink. Where do I need to add or how do I add? Could anyone help me please??
<style type="text/css">
#pageTitle
background-image: url('http://w2k81368:2116/SiteAssets/Test.jpg');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
text-indent: 100%;
white-space: nowrap;
</style>
Regards,
Sunitha

Hi Sunitha,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to change the list title to an image.
I recommend to add the code below to the list page:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function (){
var s = "<img alt='SP' src='http://w2k81368:2116/SiteAssets/Test.jpg'>";
var $t = $("#DeltaPlaceHolderPageTitleInTitleArea span span a");
$t.html(s);
</script>
After that, the list title will change to the image and it will show allitems.aspx page when clicking the image.
Thanks,
Victoria

Hyperlinks embedded in pdf don't all work in Preview

Hi,
I've been creating pdf files, opening them in Acrobat Pro and adding hyperlink click boxes over the text I want a link to. When I save the files and open the pdf in Preview, not all of the hyperlinks work. When I say they don't work, I mean the cursor changed to a hand (indicating a clickable object) but clicking does not take me to the web page that's indicated. I know the links are correct, and 9 out of 10 links created the same way work just fine.
Any thoughts on how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Aha! Just figured it out! Someone created one of the pdfs I was linking to with spaces in their names...I just had to add the internet space character (% 20) into the hyperlink and all was well.
Thanks for your suggestion.
The annoying thing was that the hyperlinks were originally created in Word, and the hyperlink with the space worked in word, and the hyperlink in the pdf worked in Acrobat Reader, but not in Preview. I guess Preview doesn't automatically turn a space into a % 20.
