Bookmarks in an exported pdf do not work

I am writing a teacher guide in support of an activity using iBooks Author. I know that many of the users of this document will not have iPads/Macs, so I also want to export the document as a pdf. Within the document, I have several bookmarks, pointing to other content in my document (i.e. "click here to go to the roster page"). When the file is exported, the links are active in the pdf, but when I click, nothing happens (apart from an "error beep"). If I open the pdf in Adobe Reader, I can see that the linked URL is "ibook:///chapterguid(#########...)", so I suspect that is the issue...the pdf is linking to an iBook site rather than internally to the document. I've tried creating links to text bookmarks, specific pages, and specific sections and all of them fail in the same manner. I suspect the links will work fine within iBooks, but since many of my audience are limited to pdf-only, is there some way I can force the IBA bookmark to do an internal link, rather than an ibook:///... link?
I'm using iBooks Author 2.2 on Yosemite 10.10.2.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
--> John

I don't have Acrobat, but yes, they work fine in Reader. Thes PDFs are going out to people who have all different computers/OS. So what is the best setting to use from the ID Export dialog? I may have to avoid the long URLs for Preview users. Thanks.

    How do I get my money back? Adobe Export PDF does not work

    You'd have to contact Adobe (we are users).
    That being said, if you go to the proper forum and give them the details about what you mean by "does not work", I'm sure they can help you. Because it does work.

  • Export pdf does not work

    When I convert a PDF to Word it does not work properly.  I have to edit so many things to make the Word document close to the original.  I may have to request a refund.

    Rajshree:
    I am somewhat confused.  You mentioned my 2012 order.  I tried it then and
    gave up when it wouldn't work,  but I really did not need a conversion.
    Now I do.  That is why I ordered it again, order No. AD014249853 on Oct 4.
    Conversion failed, 4 times.  Are you now saying that the program does not
    work?  Why do you sell it then?  I need to convert legal documents from pdf
    to Word. Isn't that what ExportPDF is supposed to do?

  • On another PC I want to backup my bookmarks but my Firefox browser is not working how can I do the backup before I reinstall Firefox

    On another PC I want to backup my bookmarks but my Firefox browser is not working how can I do the backup before I reinstall Firefox.
    Firefox can't renew it's last tabs and now won't run and let me do a backup

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • Bookmark "star" in URL bar is not working

    I'm clicking on the "star" to bookmark this page. It is not working and doesnt seem to be doing anything. The star shows it's animation on click, but does not allow me to save a bookmark.

    Make sure that you do not double-click the highlighted star.
    Just to be sure that you understand how it works:
    * Clicking the star in the location bar will bookmark the page in the "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder and the star turns yellow (blue on Mac) to show that.
    * If the URL in the location bar is bookmarked (star at the right end is yellow/blue) then click the highlighted star or use "Bookmark This Page" (Ctrl+D) to edit the properties of the bookmark (name, location) and move it to another folder or remove the bookmark.
    * The "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder shows in the sidebar and the Library, but not in the Bookmarks menu drop down list.
    * Bookmarks > "Bookmark This Page" (Ctrl+D) will bookmark the page in the Bookmarks Menu folder (you need to confirm that).

  • Export to Excel not Working

    Java developer,
    Firefox 3.x is not one of the documented supported browsers for 11g TP4 (FF 2.0.x and IE 7 are).
    I'm assuming by "export to excel," you are talking about an adf faces table?

  • PDF hyperlinks not working on app

    I have pasted a PDF (with working links) on a folio page (folios done in PDF format). The page is uploaded but all links on the original PDF are not working once I view it on the app.
    So I'm guessing folios with pasted PDFs on them don't transfer hyperlink properties to the final app? Even thought I've made the folio in PDF format? Does this mean I have to use boxes to create hotspots over the pasted PDF? Is there a way to transfer these properties from the original PDF and skip the hotspot step?
    Thanks.

    You're right -- the placed PDF loses all its interactivity even when it becomes part of a PDF article. You'll need to add buttons over the PDF as you describe. Also, keep in mind that the Show/Hide Buttons action isn't supported in DPS, so you'll need to use a combination of buttons and MSOs to create hotspots, as described in this article:

    Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
    Quit Safari.
    Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
    Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. Try a bookmark.
    If that didn't help, check Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari.
    If Extensions aren't the issue, reset Safari. From the menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
