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?

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.

  • Bookmarks and Hyperlinks not Working in PDF's

    Hi,
    I have 2 pdf files, one has extensive bookmarks which do not work. The other pdf has anchor links to refer you to certain areas in the document some work and some do not. How can i fix this in Acrobat Pro 11

    Hi,
    Thanks, I have found the actions details and can set the pages I want. The
    other file has hyperlinks to anchor text I think, not bookmarks, but when
    you right click there is no info given only document properties. Any idea
    how I can fix those links in the pdf. And again thanks for your help.

  • Hyperlinks not working in PDF created from Word

    I have created a Word document containing hyperlinks but when I print it to a PDF file (using Acrobat 7.0.9 on Windows Server 2003), the hyperlinks look OK in the PDF file but nothing happens when I click on them.
    In Acrobat, under Edit > Preferences > Convert to PDF > Microsoft Office > Edit Settings, the "Add bookmarks and links to Adobe PDF file" option is ticked.
    How can I get the hyperlinks to work in a PDF file created from a Word document?

    The original post did not indicate the method of creating the PDF. The result that was obtained was what happens when you print to the Adobe PDF printer. To get the hyperlinks embedded in the PDF, you have to use the PDF Maker (create PDF in WORD 2007).

  • Hyperlinks not working in PDf created from Keynote '08

    When I produce a pdf from File > Print in Keynote '08, the hyperlinks do not work in the pdf. I have tried all the various pdf settings (even the ones that export hyperlinks) and no luck, the links are not working in the pdf. If I invoke the File > Export > PDf command in Keynote, the hyperlinks do work, but Export does not provide as much flexibility in PDF creation that File > Print does, thus my need to go to File > Print.
    Any suggestion?

  • Hyperlinks not working in PDF from ID

    Hi folks:
    I am currently creating a file in InDesign (CC 2014) and attempting to export it to a pdf. When I do export it, only 6 out of 15 hyperlinks work in PDF.  The links that work AND do not work are both URLs and Emails.  In ID all links function in the Hyperlinks panel. I have unclicked "Shared Hyperlinks Destination" for all links. It is not that the links are broken, it is that in the PDF version, half of the links are not reading that a hyperlink is attached.
    Any troubleshooting ideas are greatly appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    Jen

    When you export with File > Export > Adobe PDF (Print), you need to check Hyperlinks at the bottom (see below). Hyperlinks are not included by default:

  • 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.

  • Hyperlink not work in PDF forms on the iPad

    I have created a form using Acrobat XI Pro and have added a hyperlink to a web site, this link works when using the form on a mac or PC but not when using the form on reader on the iPad.
    Is this a acrobat limitation? Is there a work round?

    I assume you are using the "create a web link" function. One thought: make sure it is a strictly correct URL. For instance, make sure it starts with the seven characters http:// even though certain versions of Acrobat will fix this error when you click.

  • Hyperlink not working in PDF. Created from Microsoft Publisher

    Does the link contain blanks or non-ASCII characters?

  • Hyperlink with tracking applied does not work in PDF

    We use lots of web addresses in our advertising and generally the web addresses automatically convert to hyperlinks when we distill the files and make PDFs. Recently we've had two instances where someone applied tracking or justification to the line of text containing the url to make it spread across the page. When we make our PDF the url is not clickable. Is there anyway around this? We tried actually creating a hyperlink manually in InDesign by using the Hyperlinks panel and entering the address, but that didn't work either.

    Peter,
    We'll look into that. We already do two separate PDFs for print and web, but
    we are distilling both right now. Wouldn't be too much of a problem to
    change to exporting the web version I don't think.
    I did a test, just curious, is there a way to keep it from putting a black
    box around the link on the PDF?
    Thanks for your help! We appreciate it!

    Subject: Hyperlink with tracking applied does not work in PDF
    Distilled PDF uses Postscript which does not support hyperlinks and
    interactivity. To make your hyperlinks in ID you'll need to export and check
    the Include Hyperlinks and Include Interactiviity boxes.
    Your printer doesn't need hyperlinks because they don't work on a printed
    page. The requirements for print and interactive PDF are quite different, and
    you may find you need to make two versions.

  • SWF/Flash hyperlink not working in iweb

    Hi guys,
    Really really stuck with this one...
    I have a flash file of which i have placed wihin my iweb site (the flash file shows and operates perfectly)
    However - the SWF's hyperlink will not work within iweb.
    The flash file itself is fine and the nyperlink within it works perfectly when opened within a browser.
    Here is the code below - if anybody has any help I would be so grateful.
    <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000" id="obj1" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/ flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" border="0" width="800" height="600"><param name="movie" value="http://droprecords.net/drop_records/drop_circle_1_CS5_network.swf"><param name="quality" value="High"><embed src="http://droprecords.net/drop_records/drop_circle_1_CS5_network.swf" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="obj1" width="400" height="200"></object>

    I've tried about 5 different codes now and although they all show the flash button - none of them allow the hyperlink within it to work properly.
    So frustrating.
    The closest one was this one;
    <iframe src="http://droprecords.net/drop_records/drop_circle_1_CS5_network.swf" allowtransparency="true"  width="400px" height="200px" frameborder="0" </iframe>
    But that opens up the link insiade a small iframe window instead of the full external window.
    ARRGGGHHHH

  • Spotlight not working within program. Please HELP!

    Spotlight not working within programs. Cannot not locate files on network volumes.
    For example: if I am using Photoshop or MultiAd Creator Pro, and want to open a file, I will do File>Open and  use spotlight in the "Open" dialog, and it doesn't ever find anything? I can see the files but if I search it fails to locate. Same thing happens if I try to "Place Graphic" In MultiAd and other programs. It appears to be a universal issue regardless of program.
    I tried re-indexing spot light via the system preferences (privacy, drag in volume, remove volume). I also tried re-indexing via terminal.
    I tried mounting the volumes via afp, smb, cifs and nothing works!!
    This issue is handicapping production.
    Anyone??
    Thank you in advance RR

  • Applet work well in appletviewer but do not work within browser

    hi, i created an applet that works well in appletviewer,but it does not work within a firefox browser, it issue a message: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission imgDir/vsam.jpg read). What can i do to solve this issue please ?

    sign the applet, use doprivileged and trust the applet when you open it.
    Use htmlconverter in jdk/bin folder to convert you applet so it uses

  • Some of my bookmarks are not working in my safari browser after dl of snow leapord, do i need os x moutain lion and maveriks?

    Bookmarks are not working properly, example: bank of america, and lumosity. How do I download OS X Maveriks if I just downloaded snow leopard?

    First of all make sure your download is complete.   If you bought the disk that gave you Snow Leopard, it would probably have been 10.6.3.   That means you need to download and apply the 10.6.8 Combo updater and do some software updates too.
    Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
    Then check that your machine is capable of running these higher OS's
    Apple - OS X Mavericks - Read the technical specifications.
