Are Hyperlinks in PDF fixed yet?

Hello, I've refrained myself from upgrading to pages 5 for almost a year now. The last time I tried it I found out that when I have hyperlinks used for navigation in my file that I then want to export into PDF the navigation is not working. For example a table of contents that on click scrolls to the appropriate chapter, when exported to PDF the table of contents is not functioning.
I would like to know if this bug has been addressed or if it is still persistent.
Looking forward to your replies,
JB.

The only hyperlinks still supported in Pages v5.5.1 (current) are web, and email. The only Pages intra-document hyperlink is the page number in the table of contents.
Web and email hyperlinks survive export to PDF. Table of contents page links do not.
It would be a surprise to us all, if Apple changed course, and transformed Pages v5 into a competitive word processing application. Recommend you either continue using what you have, or seek a non-Apple alternative.

Are the Wifi problems fixed yet?

Hey,
Im from the UK and currently holidaying in the US. I really want an I-pad, and am thinking about getting one whilst im out here, but am very concerned about the wi-fi issues and having problems returning the Ipad to stores in the UK since it isnt out yet.
So, have apple sorted out the issues with the wireless connection as i think its probably going to be the deciding factor on whether i buy or not.
Thank you,

Greetings,
Although there are some people having various issues with their WiFi, I am not one of them, nor are the folks in our users group - the nearly 200 of them that have iPads, so far.
I have taken my iPad to many locations that have WiFi and have yet to experience any abnormal issues with connectivity, throughput, staying connected, etc.
I, and nearly all of the folks in our Mac Users Group use the Apple Extreme Base Stations, at home, and at work we use Aruba, or Juniper WiFi equipment.
None of us use that junky stuff like a lot of ISPs give out, or Linksys, D-Link, etc - most of the other home type network stuff. I do have a high end Netgear, that I use as an extender at one location, and have no problems with it, thus far.
Most of us in our users group are IT professionals, of one sort or another, so I wouldn't expect us to have very many issues, except if they were for hardware reasons. At this point, I don't see any, or we would be having issues, at least some of us. We just had a meeting last night, and I brought this up in the meeting, and the response was that they were having nothing out of the ordinary - just the usual stuff you'd expect with WiFi, from time to time.
I haven't used my iPad in an area where they are having issues - actually I'm not sure where to go looking. Maybe I can find some folks with the cheap, to low grade routers, and give it a go. I was just in McDonalds, and it worked well, but I don't expect Mickey Ds to use cheap stuff. It worked at the airport yesterday, but I was only connected a half an hour or so.
I also frequent Starbucks every workday morning, and have shown the iPad off each day since I got it on that wonderful Saturday. Since that time, over a dozen other folks have gotten one, and every one seems to be happy. I see most of them almost every day at Starbucks, or a couple times a week.
This little device has been a Godsend for me - I use it with my Exchange Mail, my MobileMe mail, I depend on the Calendar, Address Book, use it for note taking, and access ing my files via AirShare, and a couple of other file access methods. It's a damned fine business tool, and was the chief reason I bought it in the first place.
Nope, I see no problems here, on my end, but I do see people on these forums complaining about various issues - some are ridiculous, to almost a non-issue, and others are self inflicted.
I would expect an update at some point in time to help folks with the lower end equipment, and those with poor setups, configs, knowledge, etc
At any rate, I'm enjoying the heck out of mine for business and pleasure - now if I could just get the College to pay for it..........
Good Luck All,
M.

Why are hyperlinks no longer working in PDF, when converted from Word?

I have Acrobat Professional 11 and have recently upgraded my PC with a new operating system (Windows 8). I can't remember how to find out what version of Word I now have, but it should be a fairly recent version, given its new. Since the upgrade, when converting Word documents to PDF using the "Create Form" function in Adobe Pro 11, only full hyperlinks (with the @ symbol) are working in PDF, not other hyperlinks that we've renamed. Under the old operating system, ALL hyperlinks used to transfer & work when converted ... am I missing a checkbox somewhere?? HELP please, I have loads of word documents to convert and it's very time-consuming to have to do weblinks manually!!

First off, Word should show you the version on a splash screen when you launch it.
Also, what happens to the links if you just open the document in Word and save it as a PDF?

Downloaded an app and now my safari keeps popping up with ads and words are hyperlinked on webpages. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi,
I was downloading Skype for mac last night, and now my safari isn't working correctly (has a lot of popups and and words are hyperlinked on my webpages I pull up now. I think I have the 'DownLite' trojan but I am unsure of how to get rid of it. I saw a post in March that Linc helped with describing how to fix it, but unfortunately, it didn't work for me (because I think mine is in a different folder but am unsure how to find it). I have the UNIX shell script diagnostic scan if needed. Can anyone help me get rid of this?? Thank you for your help!

Are the problems with Compressor's encoding fixed yet?

Sorry for the slightly vague title but I only use compressor once a year basically, which is after the production of a Christmas show I produce. Last year I upgraded ot Final Cut Studio to do the DVD and got caught out. I encoded using what I thought was the best setting (2 pass variable bit rate) and got jittery encoding. After investigating on this very forum, I found lots of comments about known problems with Compressor's encoding in this setting and ended up re encoding using one pass which was "ok".
I'd rather do the best job I can so the basic question is, "is it fixed yet". Keeping in mind I understand about altering settings so that I can get the time I need onto one disc (110 minutes unfortunately!) What setting will offer me the best possible picture quality, regardless of encoding time, with compressor? Many, many thaks for any advice you regular user can offer!!
Happy Christmas in advance, Gareth

Gareth:
According what was posted in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=760041&tstart=15
by Brian a lot of problems must be solved using the last 2.3 version.
Hope it helps !

Phantom restarts / crashes with Maverick. Restore Disk Utility, disk can't be repaired says "live system repair is not supported" Is there a fix yet? Or is Maverick "FREE" because Apple no longer offers free phone support?

Get onto the integrated iOS + Mac OS and end support for "legacy" Mac 10.8 and earlier.
Force older hardware users like me to upgrade to new hardware which is where $$ are.
Make apps work across tablets, phone, and computer with similar (though not the "same" app, but able to read and use the same file format).
Simplify.
I don't think anyone incl. Microsoft knew Windows 8.1 was going to be a free upgrade, I didn't and read that it would be more like $30.
No OS is ready for everyone on the day it is launched. iOS 7 is now 7.04 and climbing, Mac OS tends to really not be ready until the last patch and version is out, often a year or more after it was first issued. Ship it, then plan to fix the bugs left in or that surface.
www.macperformanceguide.com is saying "No" to Maverick for now. Of course there will be no "No" on new Mac Pro 2013 6,1 when those ship (Late Jan? )

Hyperlink in PDF to relative file does not work

I am creating PDFs from Java and the PDF contains a link to a relative file which is distributed along with the PDF. When the link is clicked, the file is opened with the OS default program (written by us). At least that is how it is supposed to work.
How should links to relative files be formatted?

Thanks for the reply Daterson! This could be a nice new feature for Adobe Reader, but our reports are cross format, so this solution should work in HTML as much as it does in PDF.
I think this problem stems from the fact that launching a different application from a hyperlink in PDF is neither secure, nor cross platform. Therefore, I think the support for such an action doesn't exist in PDF, but also in other formats, which we would also like to support.
If anyone comes across a clever idea or technique for this problem, I would love to hear it!

i know, for sure, that there are hyperlinks in that document. i want a way to identify all the hyperlinks & click on each 1 of them. they, inturn, lead to opening of another browser, which contains a pdf with hyperlinks & so on...
problem is, i can't create an acroexch.app object in vbscript. is there any way to do this via vbscript & iac?
any help is appreciated..

i'm using acroexch.rect to find my annot. what i'm trying to do is, getting text within acroexch.rect object, then checking if it's of type link annot. if yes, then click it, which doesn't happen.

Insert hyperlinks in pdf-documents

Since Mavericks you can´t insert hyperlinks in pdf-documents. I miss this option in the preview. Are there any other possibilities?
(I have MS Office for apple, therefore the links get lost, if I convert it to pdf).

No one here can guess what "Apple wants." This is just an end user forum. There are open source alternatives to Pages and Office you may want to research: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6941
http://www.apple.com/feedback is where you can put your two cents if you so desire to get Apple to consider them.

Hyperlinks in PDF files exported from Numbers 3.1

The new Numbers is slooowly starting to rock. The new ability to sort and rearrange ranged area is awesome.
I work with PR and we make reports to our clients. These reports are delivered in PDF files.
I have a serious problem with Numbers 3.1 and the hyperlinks included in my report - an exported PDF file. The hyperlinks seems to be randomly mixed up. If I press a certain link for a URL, the PDF might redirect me to the correct page or .. might redirect me another page from the report.
When I work in Numbers 3.1 sheet everything works just fine, all the hyperlinks are opened correctly. The problem only occours when it's exported as PDF.
My current procedure is to work in Numbers 3.1 and once a report is ready to be handed over to the client, I export it in Numbers 2.3 format and then export it as PDF - where all the hyperlinks work correctly.
But it would be sooo much more professionel and cool if everything just worked perfectly with Numbers 3.1.
- Has anyone experienced this as well?
- Does any one know if it's a bug - or if it me who's doing something silly?
Thanks for all ears.

Hi Jakob,
BlackPlum suggets: "Thankfully, I noticed that in the Export... dialog box, (from the File Menu), you can select "Current Sheet" in the Layout field (this field defaults to "All Sheets", it's easy to miss). So select Current Sheet, and voila, you now have a pdf with multiple pages (and clickable hyperlinks!)."
Though my Export To ... PDF does not have such an option.
Hope a solution will come soon.

Hyperlinks in PDF files

We are having problems with hyperlinks in PDF files.
When clicking on a link in a PDF file the following message appears:
"The file and its viewer application are set to be launched by this PDF file. The file may contain programs, macros, or viruses that could potentially harm your computer. Only open the file if you are sure it is safe. If this file was placed by a trusted person or program, you can click Open to view the file."
There is a box that says "Do not show this message again", but selecing this box does not stop this message from appearing next time.
Is there any way to disable this notification??

Hyperlink in PDF changed

the Rev is adobe reader x 10.1.4,
in the company internal website,after I downloaded some PDF files ,the hyperlinks indise the files are all pointed to my PC disk, why not the website address like before?

the process was:
1.At the first times,I open the PDF files in the company websites online,
it was ok, what the hyperlink pointed was another website address which
located a PDF file.
2.After I saved some PDF file which I opened online to my local disk ,
someday, when I wanted to open a hyperlink from a PDF file online ,it can't
be realized ,like what I say at the beginning.
my question is :
why it changed,normally,the PDF embeded in the website can't be changed
with anything.
why did the hyperlink change,when I opened the PDF file ?

Hyperlinks to PDF files only work in Preview

I cannot get any of my hyperlinks to PDF files to work in my
ouput WebHelp file. The links work fine in Preview, but not in the
actual output. And the files have been added to the baggage folder,
and can be seen in the Baggage folder. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Retso
Sorry for not replying earlier. I've been conducting a
RoboHelp HTML class all day.
Are you using RoboHelp HTML 6? If so, there is a new option
labeled "Mark of the web" that could be nailing you. When you
generate your WebHelp by double-clicking the layout, see if this
option is enabled. If so, disable it and your PDF links should
begin working. Note, however, that by DE-selecting this option, you
could start seeing the Yellow Information bar as Internet Explorer
ever so helpfully deems this as a security threat and blocks your
WebHelp until you click it and allow the content to be shown.
Cheers... Rick
