Bookmark/hyperlink problem

I have a group of topics in a document in MS Word. I
bookmarked each item and put a hyperlink to each bookmark in an
index at the front of the document. Each link works perfectly with
ctrl-click in Word. However, when converted to PDF with
Professional, some of the bookmarks don't go to the right places.
They are sort of in the region but not close enough to spot the
item. Does anyone have an idea what is wrong and what to do about
it? THANKS!

Any pointers?

Has anyone been able to get a book's internal bookmark hyperlinks working when exporting the book as PDF?

When a PDF-version of a book is viewed within Preview, bookmark hyperlinks do not work, but they do work on iPad.
In this support page, Apple states that hyperlinks should work.
Has anyone got a successful workaround that doesn't involve adding hyperlinks, one by one, via Preview?
Cheers,
Tim

Hi Ken.
By "Preview", I refer to the Apple Preview app on my iMac; 'Preview' displays the PDF but the hyperlinks within the PDF will not link through to their respective pages throughout the book. Each hyperlink displays underlines, and the 'hyperlink' mouse icon displays when hovering over a hyperlink. It's just that the links won't work. There are hundreds of bookmarks, so adding these manually from within 'Preview' is not a viable option.
Any thoughts?

Pages 5.0: Where is the Bookmarks/Hyperlinks panel?!

I swear I've looked everywhere. I hate the new "inspector" window. I need the bookmarks/hyperlinks/etc panel. I do documenting work for a couple of elderly couples, and I need to have a "table of contents" with hyperlinks to positions in the document. (Trust me, there's no way of teach all but one of them any other way.)
Please help!
If it's possible to revert to Pages 09, that'd be lovely. I don't have iWork or anything, I don't think. I just bought Pages off of the App Store on my MacBook Pro.

Apple has removed bookmarks along with over 90+ features in Pages 5.
The hyperlinks aree largely broken and buggy.
If you had it before Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.

Acrobat 9 PDFMAKER for Word - Relative Hyperlink problem

In the past I have successfully use Acrobat Standard 6 PDFMAKER with Word 2003 to preate PDF files with relative hyperlinks. I have a large massively hyperlinked PDF document collection which I distribute on DVD and hence need relative hyperlinks because people's DVD drives have different drive letters. The PDF links produced by Acrobat 6 PDFMAKER have only a single "F" entry in the CosDict and that entry is the desired relative path. The PDF files I make are PDF 1.4. These work with Adobe reader.
Acrobat 9's PDFMAKER for Word 2007 appears to be unable to produce PDF 1.4 files with relative hyperlinks that work in Adobe Reader. I get PDF files with Annot entries containing a correct "F" entry with a relative path, BUT there is also a UF entry with an absolute path. I have reported this as a bug because it appears to me that the PDF spec says the UF field is a PDF 1.7 feature. I'm speculating that the presence of this undesired absolute path in the UF field of the Annot object is why Adobe Reader (and Foxit Reader) won't follow the hyperlinks as relative paths. Foxit complains about not finding the absolute path.
Is there a way to coerce Acrobat 9's PDFMAKER to produce truly relative hyperlinks from Word 2007? Am I wrong is diagnosing the problem? I am using Acrobat 9.4.2. Is there a newer version that has fix this problem?
Any suggestions for how to produce PDF files with functional relative hyperlinks from Word 2007 would be appreciated. Since my document collection is very large (1000,'s of files in a directory tree) I'd like to be able to automate this. I have successfully written VB script code to automate running PDFMAKER but the relative vs absolute hyperlink problem persists whether I make the files one at a time from Word or in a batch from VB.

I don't believe Word 2000 is supported by Acrobat 9

Bookmark hyperlinks not working within PDF

I have added hundreds of bookmarks and created hyperlinks to each one. The hyperlinks function from within iBooks Author but as soon as I export to PDF, the hyperlinks stop working.
From within the PDF the hyperlinks appear as underlined text, and the curser changes to indicate that a hyperlink is present. But clicking on a link does nothing. However, external hyperlinks (to websites: e.g. http://www.site.com) function OK.
I have opened the PDF within Preview, Adobe Reader and also within various iPads. Apple indicate that bookmarks/hyperlinks work when exporting to PDF, so what am I doing wrong?
I've searched the net for solutions and it appears that I'm not the only one with the same issue - but no solution is present.
Any ideas?

If I export to pdf in Keynote, all my saved hyperlinks default to http://livepage.apple.com/ (when the pdf is subsequently opened in Adobe Reader).
Are you sure that you really entered a link when you created an Hyperlink?
The described one is the one which is used by default by every iWork's components.
We must enter the true one by ourselves.

Adobe Reader, Telnet Hyperlink Problem

Hi, I met a telnet Hyperlink Problem in Adobe Reader.
When click the Hyperlink (like telnet://a.b.c.d), Adobe reader gives me a Alert:
Acrobat does not allow connection to: telnet://a.b.c.d
And I also need to open this telnet hyperlink in web browser with Adobe reader plugin.
Would you please give me some help?

Acrobat and Adobe Reader recently closed off access to custom protocols. Telnet is a standard protocol, but I can't see Adobe leaving it working.

Bookmarks and bookmark/hyperlink markers

I was working in story editor on a book chapter today and realized that my text was peppered with the nonprinting symbol for bookmarks or hyperlinks, even though I've added none to the document (see image).
The text was placed from a Word document.
So seeing all these, I opened the bookmark panel and found a couple dozen bookmarks with the name OLE_LINK, numbered. I deleted them all but it looks like a lot of the nonprinting symbols are still there.
So what's the deal with these? I'm concerned that later on down the line when I produce an ebook that these might be a problem.

My assumption was that these were being (wrongly) generated in ID. But after reading your comment I realized that someone had indexed the Word doc, and I didn't have bookmarks visible in Word. OK, problem solved...or at least explained.

Lost all bookmarks & hyperlinks are now black! (Mac)

While using firefox my browser froze as i ran out of memory. I tried to close some windows while the browser was paused, however it was frozen so i had to force quit. When i re opened firefox all my bookmarks were gone, both in the toolbar and bookmark folder. I tried to restore however it gives the error message "Unable To Process The Backup File". I have tried following the support pages with no luck.
I have also tried to downgrade from 15.0.1 to 14.0.1 but this made no difference.
Also, i have noticed when i was using google to search for help all hyperlinks are now showing as black instead of blue! This is happening with multiple web pages.
Is there any way to manually restore the bookmark folder or is this impossible? I can't figure out how to fix this.
Current version of OSX i am running is 10.5.8
Current version of Firefox is 14.0.1
Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer any help.

Would like to say i have solved this problem myself.
Decided to risk using the 'reset firefox' button (Help > Troubleshooting Information > Reset Firefox) which worked a treat. As soon as i pressed it, everything was restored! I am surprised i did not find this referred to in any help docs.
Hope this may help someone in the future.

PDF with hyperlinks problem

Hi all.
I have a PDF document that I generated from a word document. The word document was created using Office 2007 on a windows XP PC. I converted the document to PDF using Acrobat 9.0 Standard. Upon conversion, the hyperlinks within the PDF file worked fine for me. My PC has IE8. I sent the document to the administrative assistant in our office to review the PDF document. When she clicks the links, she gets the security window asking her to allow or deny PDF access to the web. She clicked the button to allow the link, and then nothing happens. No browser window opens. I checked her machine and it's an XP box with IE7 on it. She is using the acrobat reader 9. I asked a few other folks in the department to try clicking the links and their computers acted as expected. I do not see why problems exist. The only difference I could find on the problematic PC was that the Bing and Google toolbars had been installed. I tried disabling them and that did not solve the problem.
The boss in my department wants to insure everyone in our department (all 9 of us) can open the links within the PDF before we declare the document in its current PDF state complete and ready to distribute. I have been searching Google for assistance. I found out how to use the link tool to modify the links so they run JavaScript code "app.launchURL("http://www.somesite.com", true);” instead of using the open a web link command. That way a new browser window is opened with every link click rather than using an existing open window and having the user possible missing the opening of the link. I’ve now tried both methods and am still at a loss. Both methods bring up the security window, but fail to launch the browser.
All help is greatly appreciated.
Mike

There are a few possibilities. First try removing the toolbars rather than disabling them. See if there is any security configuration in IE and Reader that is stopping the weblink from opening. It is possible that the issue is with a security setting within IE that is causing the problem. To check this out see what happens if you view the pdf from within Firefox.

How do I fix these hyperlink problems?

Hello all,
Here's my situation. I'm a copywriter at an ad agency and I just published a site in iWeb to showcase my work.
This is my site: http://web.mac.com/rp173/iWeb/Site/landing.html
These are the type of hyperlinks I'm having problems with:
A text box that links to another page.
A thumbnail image that links to a larger jpg.
For example, if you are on the page that shows my print/magazine work ("PRINT")... you'll see a list of brands/clients, but two clients- "Sealy" and "Midway Airlines" won't be hyperlinked.
And when you're on the same page and you click on "Thomasville Furniture" it'll take you to a page that has 3 small thumbnails. For some reason, the first two aren't linked, but the third one is. (I've noticed that a lot of thumbnails that are located in the middle and to the left of the site don't link up, while those placed to right of the page do. What's up with that?)
I've made sure the links are correctly linked in iWeb... I've checked to see that nothing is behind the link... I made sure that boxes weren't touching or overlapping... I've saved in iWeb before I tried republishing a page. And now I'm just scratching my head.
I've asked three other people at work... and they're all stumped.
To kill me softly even more, I've got a couple of hot job leads... but I can't forward anyone a link to my half-working website. Aaaarrgggh!
So this is my S.O.S. signal. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
In case it matters what kind of machine I'm working on, I'm on an Intel MacBook Pro/ 2GB /2.16 GHz. And I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.8 and iWeb 1.1.2.
Another thing... I've noticed different links work with Safari and Firefox.

"Some of your links are in the nav layer"- what exactly does this mean?
When I turn on "Show Layout" I see a thicker gray line that cuts across the top portion of my page. Is that suppose to be there? Do text or thumbnail links have to be above it or below it?
A friend thinks that I should make sure the boxes for "Include page in navigation menu" and "Display navigation menu" are unchecked in the Inspector.

Hyperlink problem when converting Word to PDF

Hi everyone.
I am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard version 7.1.4 on a Windows 2000 environment.
I am using Word XP/2002 SP3.
I have a couple of problems when converting Word to PDF.
When converting a long link which is in 2 lines, PDF just takes one line into account, not considering the whole link
When I have hyperlinks that links to a web page, the link works fine in Word but in pdf, it gets the few words after the url address making the link not work. For example. I have a hyperlink that http://www.google.com/ and after this I have the words: "This is a sample text". The hyperlink in pdf would then become http://www.google.comThisisasampletext
Do you have any ideas how I can correct this?
Thanks.

To get the cross references, you have to use Convert to PDF (PDF Maker part of the Acrobat product). However, you first need to go to the print menu and set the printer to the Adobe PDF printer. Close the print menu and then do a reflow and link update of the document (ctrl-A, then F9 I think). This is needed to get the links correct since WORD reflows the document based on the printer (problem with them going to the wrong place).
Printing to the Adobe PDF printer (the step of print to file is not needed, just print to the printer and the rest is automatic) does not include the links. PDF Maker is a PreProcessor for the Adobe PDF printer that adds PDF Marks to the PS file before it is sent to Distiller (OK, the printer when used normally creates a PS file and then invokes Distiller to complete the process - your steps did with the Adobe PDF printer is the same process done manually).
Summary:
1. Fix document after setting the printer to Adobe PDF.
2. Use PDF Maker (create PDF button)

Acrobat 9 Professional Bookmark rendering problems

Some change in Mavericks is causing the disclosure triangle graphic on the bookmarks is extremely huge, making it unuseable:
I can't figure out any way to even contact Adobe about it. All the relevant forums seem to be locked, and the link to report a bug for the product is bad.

Same problem here. I just checked the Adobe forum linked to by andrewknott, and as of the end of November 2013 no solution had been found (other than buying a newer version of Acrobat Pro).
This is very frustrating for me, as I had been successfully using the bookmarks to help me in my studying for exams in the pdf files of the lectures my prof has supplied us. I can no longer use this system due to the massive size of these bookmarks.
PS I have found that I can add the bookmarks in Pro, save, then view the pdf in Reader. The bookmarks look fine in Reader.

Can I return to previous page after clicking a bookmark hyperlink?

I am writing a book that I want readers to be able to click on a hyperlink to view more information about things, but then easily return to the previous page. For example:
Ingredients:
1 - apple
2 - bananas
4 cups sugar
apple, bananas, and sugar would be hyperlinks taking the user to spot in the book where I discuss each. I want them to be able to easily return to the page that sent them, but cannot find a way to do it.
Thank you!

Well, perhaps I should give a little more detailed example to illustrate why I'm trying to do this. I see now that my initial example was probably overly simple.
The book is an emergency care manual for providers in the field.
It will have, for example, a section devoted to intubation that describes the technique, medications to use, proper verification, and so forth (this section would be a significant amount of information). Then in a different section, say cardiac arrest, it will say "perform intubation per general guidelines" which will be just one little line of the entire cardiac arrest section. I want to hyperlink "perform intubation.." to the intubation section but then have a way to quickly and easily return to the cardiac arrest section.
Does that make more sense? Maybe there's a better way than hyperlinks/bookmarks, but I haven't discovered it yet.
Thanks.

InDesign interactive pdf hyperlink problem

Hi, I've set up an InDesign document to have Hyperlinks to other pages which is fine and separate pdf's where the problem lies. They're all in one folder, all a certain shortish length, not overly high in memory, numbering around 35 so far, will work fine for a while then want to connect to the internet with the Windows Internet Explorer warning box saying: Cannot find xxxx%5xxxx%20xxx%20... Make sure the path or Internet address is correct.
I'm working from the company server on a PC in InDesign CS6 CC, exporting as an interactive pdf including hyperlinks. Any ideas please?
Thank you, Emma

Thanks Sumit but the Hyperlink list does not have %20 in, only when you hover over or get warning.
