Back button from cross-document link shows Security Settings pane

I have a PDF with many cross-document links (links to page views in another PDF within the same folder). When users have these set to open in the same window, the expected actions occur: the source document closes (or appears to close) and the destination document opens to the chosen page view. However, once we password protect the PDFs, we notice an odd behavior. When the Back button is used to get back to the source document, it takes the user back to the appropriate spot; however, if the user had their bookmarks pane open in the source document, the Security Settings pane is open instead when Back is used.
So, to summarize:
- Cross-document link from source doc to destination doc, preference set for these to open in the same window.
- Source doc and destination doc both password protected.
- Initial view setting for both docs is Bookmarks Panel and Page.
- User has bookmarks pane open in source doc, clicks on cross-document link.
- Source doc closes, destination doc opens as desired.
- User presses Back button.
- Destination doc closes, source doc reopens to the appropriate location - but bookmarks pane is now replaced by the Security pane.
We'd really like to find a way to avoid this; this is a pretty useless pane to have open and the structure of these docs means that users are frequently going to view them with their bookmarks open. Is this a bug? Is there a setting I can dig for? We think it's not happening in Acrobat 9 (I can't confirm, but this is what my client has said) but is happening in 10 and 11, and also in the current version of Reader.
Can anyone shed any light?

Remember that here you have of community of fellow end-users. Not the Acrobat Engineering team eh.
afaik - It is build in behavior. Similar to defaulting to display of the pages thumbnail pane in the navigation panel when an "insert" page is done.
There is a certain logic to it so it may have been deliberate. As an end-user I'm not appreciative of such. Some "developer staged user assistance" I can do without.
You may want to consider a submission via:

Be well...

Can't navigate using back button from web gallery linked to iweb page

I have a web gallery that I enabled as a hyperlink to my iweb site. When I go to the gallery from a web page, I don't have any problem navigating to the gallery to view photos, but I am unable to navigate back to the web page using the "back" button. Instead I have to relaunch my web page in Safari; otherwise I would be "stuck" on the gallery unable to navigate to other web pages.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Load the gallery in your browser and copy the URL.
Create a text or image link and in the "Link" inspector select it as an eternal link.
Paste the gallery URL into the box and check "Open link in new window".
This way, the gallery window can be opened and closed but your original webpage will remain.

Forcing "Open cross-document links in same window" to be unchecked

Hi All,
I am distributing a PDF document set where there is one PDF with well over a hundred links to other PDFs which are located in sub-folders.
The set will be distributed on USB thumb drives.
It will be simplest for users if they have "Open cross-document links in same window" unchecked.
Is there a way I can "force" it to be unchecked?
During a test, someone got a security warning: "This document is trying to access abcd.pdf" Allow/Block. Why are they getting that message when there is no Internet request?
Thanks very much for all thoughts and wisdom,
David

It works in an older version 6.0
Anyone know how to get this to work in the newer versions?

Temporarily disable cross-document links in PDF

I am working on a series of PDF files that have cross-document links to other PDF files embedded. What I would like is to temporarily disable the links from opening the cross-document link until I am ready to activate the link and open that specific PDF.
I am familiar with the "Open cross-document links in same window" feature in the Preferences - General tab; however, this does not temporarily disable the links (only toggles how the PDF is opened - same window or new window).
Is there a setting in Reader to temporarily disable these links or possibly a keystroke combination (ctrl + __) ?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

{Sigh)...I was hoping there was a way, but it looks like I am stuck with the links being always active.
Thank you,

Since I've updated to iOS 6 I am unable to use the next/back buttons from Headphone for audio book chapters.

Since I've updated from iOS 5 to iOS 6 I am unable to use the next/back buttons from Headphone for audio book chapters.
This is working fine for albums but are broken for audio books.
The back button refers always to the first chapter of the audio book (very annoying if you are in the middle of an audio book) and the nex button goes one level higher back to the selection of the audio book itself.
In iOS 5.0 it was still possible to navigate throught the audio book chapters using these buttons.
This still happens in iOS 6.1.
Is this a known bug?
Does any solution exist?
Thx,
Oliver

To gdgmacguy your a f****** idiot for one I'm having the same problem as pennymar. And you tell me to quit whinning. You got more problems then the iOS 6 you did not answer my question nor the other 13 or whatever you replied to within a 30 min time frame. You must got nothing better to do then to harass people and to pretend you know something about apple products. Which you don't from what I've read the other advices you should have gave to other people. But you didn't you replied a question back to the people asking a question. So if your not gonna use these community forums the right way don't use them at all.

Cross-Document Links

Good Afternoon,
Is there any way to use Cross-Document links in the Adobe Reader Touch App?
I have a huge manual that i use day to day, it would be quite handy to be able to use this documetn on the Windows Surface 2 with thr Adobe Reader Touch.
As of right now i have not found any way to do this with Adobe Reader Touch.
If it isn't possible right now will it be possible in a future release.

Thanks for the info, Shlomo. I've now spotted the relevant text in the 8.0.2 release notes; that is, that PDF links created in Distiller 8 now work in Acrobat Reader 7. I must have missed it before.
With some new testing I can confirm that cross-document links also now work when the PDF file is viewed in xpdf.
However, cross-document links in Linux Reader 8.1.2 still give intermittent errors that are frequent enough to make any link intensive navigational documents practically unusable. I suspect this particular part of the problem is a Linux Reader 8 issue and not a Frame issue. But at least Linux users can now use Reader 7 or xpdf until Reader 8 gets fixed.

Hi skydivingsnowman,
I'm sorry you're having such trouble using the ExportPDF service. What browser are you using?
Please try clearing your browser cache, or using a different browser (here's a list of supported browsers: http://www.adobe.com/acom/systemreqs/.
Please let me know if that works.
Best,

Back button does not work, links are no longer coloured/underlined

I'm running a Mac OSX 10.5.8
While pages load well, several perfectly normal features don't seem to function. The "back" button is shaded out and unusable after you have arrived at a web page, and you need to have another tab open to switch between to activate it. Same thing with forward. Also most standard links on web pages are no longer colored and underlined, though the option for that has been selected in the preferences. Links still function, but they are in black without underline and are thus difficult to distinguish from other text. The cursor also becomes the text-editing cursor rather than the hand cursor when you hover over a link.

Extensions that may '''interfere with the Back Button''' that are already listed in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions Problematic extensions] as creating other problems
*McAfee Site Advisor (update perhaps 3rd week July 2011)
*Yahoo Toolbar (https://support.mozilla.com/questions/845691)
I would also disable the extension you mentioned until your problem is solved with the Back Button.

Accessing MetaData from Bex - Document Links?

Hello experts,
This is a two part question.
We are interested in BW's ability to provide metadata access to report users. We are familiar with the Metadata Repository in the Admin Workbench but this will not be accessible to the majority or report users.
Issue 1: Is there a way to access BW metadata from the Bex report? If not what possible workarounds can you suggest?
One workaround that was suggested was to create a document link within the Bex report to access our own technical specifications.
Issue 2: Is it possible to create a document link for a Bex report? If so how? Is there more flexibility to access metadata via Web Reporting?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Adam

Elaborating on point 2 -
You can attach a document to the BEx query. This can be done in properties section of the query. You can also attach documents per characteristic in AWB. Whichever of the above suits your requirements.
I am not sure what exactly you mean by "...more flexibility to access metadata via Web Reporting?". It is possible for documents to be available over an HTTP content server.
Anil.

Programming the BACK button from a list

Hi,
I have a program that utilizes a selection-screen, a customized screen, and a list (leave to list-processing) respectively. What i want to know is how to enable the back buttom from the list to immediately go to the selection-screen instead of the customized screen (which comes before the list).
at user-command doesn't seem to work... any advice is welcome. Thanks!

hi winnie,
this documentation may solve your problem..
To pass control from the dialog processor to the list processor, you must include the following statement in one of the dialog modules:
LEAVE TO LIST-PROCESSING [AND RETURN TO SCREEN <nnnn>].
You can include this statement in either the PBO or the PAI event. Its effect is to start the list processor and display the basic list after the PAI processing of the current screen. The basic list contains any list output from all PBO and PAI modules that have been executed up to that point.
If detail lists are defined in the corresponding event blocks of the ABAP program (AT LINE-SELECTION, AT USER-COMMAND), user actions on the basic list will lead to the detail list, and further interaction will lead to further list levels.
You can leave list processing in two ways:
By leaving the basic list using the Back, Exit, or Cancel function.
By using the following statement during list processing:
LEAVE LIST-PROCESSING.
In both cases, control returns from the list processor to the dialog processor. Each time this occurs, the entire list system is initialized. Any subsequent list output statements in PBO and PAI modules apply to an empty basic list.
By default, the dialog processor returns to the PBO processing of the screen from which the list processor was called. The optional addition AND RETURN TO SCREEN allows you to specify a different screen in the current screen sequence at whose PBO event you want to resume processing. In particular, the statement
LEAVE TO LIST-PROCESSING AND RETURN TO SCREEN 0.
can be used to end the current screen sequence and return to the point from which it had originally been called.

Recommended Procedure
If you want to display lists during screen processing, you should create a separate screen for each list system that you want to call. This screen encapsulates the creation and display of the basic list. It can then be called from anywhere in the program using CALL SCREEN.
The actual screen mask of this screen can remain empty. You do not need any PAI modules, and only a single PBO module. In the PBO module, you define the basic list of the list system and call the list processor.
First, use the
LEAVE TO LIST-PROCESSING AND RETURN TO SCREEN 0.
statement to call the list display at the end of the screen, and to ensure that, after leaving the list, you return to the point from which the screen was called.
Next, set a GUI status for the list; for example, the default list status SPACE or a list status of your own.
Use one of the following statements to ensure that the empty screen is not displayed:
SUPPRESS DIALOG.
or
LEAVE SCREEN. Instead, the list is displayed immediately at the end of the screen.
Now define the entire basic list, and place any necessary data in the HIDE area.
If you want to process user actions on the list, you need to define the relevant event blocks in your ABAP program. If you want to call more than one independent list system in the program, you must ensure that you can tell them apart in the list event processing. You cannot do this using SY-DYNNR, since the container screen for a list is always number 120. Instead, you could assign a different GUI status to each list, and distinguish between the list systems using the value of SY-PFKEY, or you could place some unique information in the HIDE area of each list system.
Example
REPORT demo_leave_to_list_processing .
TABLES sdyn_conn.
DATA: wa_spfli TYPE spfli,
 flightdate TYPE sflight-fldate.
CALL SCREEN 100.
MODULE status_0100 OUTPUT.
SET PF-STATUS 'SCREEN_100'.
ENDMODULE.
MODULE cancel INPUT.
LEAVE PROGRAM.
ENDMODULE.
MODULE user_command_0100.
CALL SCREEN 500.
SET SCREEN 100.
ENDMODULE.
MODULE call_list_500 OUTPUT.
LEAVE TO LIST-PROCESSING AND RETURN TO SCREEN 0.
SET PF-STATUS space.
SUPPRESS DIALOG.
SELECT carrid connid cityfrom cityto
 FROM spfli
 INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF wa_spfli
 WHERE carrid = sdyn_conn-carrid.
 WRITE: / wa_spfli-carrid, wa_spfli-connid,
 wa_spfli-cityfrom, wa_spfli-cityto.
 HIDE: wa_spfli-carrid, wa_spfli-connid.
ENDSELECT.
CLEAR: wa_spfli-carrid.
ENDMODULE.
TOP-OF-PAGE.
WRITE text-001 COLOR COL_HEADING.
ULINE.
TOP-OF-PAGE DURING LINE-SELECTION.
WRITE sy-lisel COLOR COL_HEADING.
ULINE.
AT LINE-SELECTION.
CHECK not wa_spfli-carrid is initial.
SELECT fldate
 FROM sflight
 INTO flightdate
 WHERE carrid = wa_spfli-carrid AND
 connid = wa_spfli-connid.
 WRITE / flightdate.
ENDSELECT.
CLEAR: wa_spfli-carrid.
This example switches to list processing during the screen processing for screen 100. Screen 100 has a single input field - the component CARRID from the ABAP Dictionary structure SDYN_CONN.
Do contact me if you have any problem
and do reward the points if you think this documentation is of your help to you.
Thanks and regards,

[iphone] Remove back button from navigation bar

I have an app set up with a navigation controller which is working fine. What I'd like to do is remove the back button when certain views come up. In fact I can't seem to manipulate the back button at all. I tried putting self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem.title = @"TestTitle"; in the view controller for one of the views in the app, and the title doesn't change. Mainly I would like to remove the back button. Anyone have an idea? This is on beta 6.
Thanks.

Each view controller that is being managed by your UINavigationController has a property called navigationItem. You should do something like this in the managed viewController:
self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = YES;
hope that helps

How to create a pdf document with specific security settings

Hallo,
in Adobe Acrobat you can set security settings which make documents unprintable, unchangeable etc.
What I want to do is: I want to set these security settings by creating the pdf-document, because I do not want to open every document and change the security settings. Is this possible at all???
Thank you for help
Elisabeth

How are you creating the documents? If using Adobe PDF printer, use the security options in Adobe PDF printer settings. If using PDFMakers (Acrobat buttons inside Office applications, open the Preferences menu item and set security there)

I was messing with the computer, not sure what i hit but now all my toolbars at the top of the screen are gone? (file, edit, history, tools and my forward and back button). Please help me get these settings back to the way they were?

My file, edit, view, history, bookmarks, tools, and help buttons at the top of the screen are gone, along with my forward and back button.

For details of how to restore it, see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/menu+bar+is+missing
Once the menu bar is restored, you can use the Toolbars entry in the View menu to restore other toolbars such as the navigation toolbar.

Why does IE 11 prevent me from downloading PDF files. Security Settings are set at MIN. Pop Ups & Cookies are ALLOWED

I get the following pop-up displayed on my screen:
YOUR CURRENT SECURITY SETTINGS DO NOT ALLOW THIS FILE TO BE DOWNLOADED.

See if anything in here helps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-internet-explorer-security-settings#1TC= windows-7

Made buttons from flash, but links don't work on webpages...

I actionscripted some custom flash buttons with the getURL("www..."), and they work when I preview them IN flash. When I publish it, however, and open up the .swf file, I get a warning when I click it saying something about security issues, and the link never opens (or even attempts to). And lastly, when I put the .swf into my .html, they don't do ANYTHING when I click them in preview...
FYI - I just started making the site, and I'm not connected to any server yet. I'm working locally.... I use windows 7...
Please help! I'm about to sign up with iPages for webhosting and want to get the site up soon!
thanks!

It's always a good idea to debug pages by publishing them to a live web server before your site goes live.
Flash buttons are not a practical or web friendly choice for navigation because many people/devices can't use Flash. What will these people do? Consider using CSS styled text links instead of Flash buttons.
