Can a Button be created in a PDF to go back to website index page?

I should know this. But the idea to do it hasn't crossed my mind to do it. I use PDF's extensively in my website http://www.phillipmjones.net/
Is it possible to put in a Home Button, at the end to have it go back to the index page, rather than having use back button on web Browser?

In order to do so you have to:
Open a Graphics Program and creae a button, in my case I used Fireworks to create a button with a special Filter that use button affects.
Create desired button.
Open original Word File and insert button at Desired Location Save as both Wod Docx and as PDF files.
open desired Pdf in Acrobat choose replace File.
Open Forms editor and create a form field that is a button.
Make form outline with no color.
make fill color with no color.
make button action Web URL. Type entire link using all directories, sub directories and index page of desired directory.
Save.
get out of forms editor.
Save file.
upload to web site.
It works but is way to many steps be worthwhile.
This is being posted for those that desire to use a web link button in a PDF.  and want to know the desired steps.

  • What webbased tools can I use to create a custom PDF Reader Web App?

    I want to build a webtool that allows user to view PDFs but I also want to add my own toolbar to allow users to do some custom things to the document like select text and return that text to the webapp (built with AJAX). Or maybe insert a bookmark or open multiple PDF documents in multiple windows to compare them.
    What tools do I need to build something like this???
    Thanks!

    I've seen it done with Flex, which means in theory it should work with AIR as well.
    However, the Acrobat SDK would be way out of range for this. You are not allowed to install Acrobat on a web server (section 2.3 of the EULA), so it would have to be entirely separate from the Acrobat SDK, since the SDK is nothing and does nothing without Acrobat installed.
    EDIT: Actually, I believe it was using FlashPaper, not a direct PDF-in-Flash render.

  • How do I create an interactive pdf form my clients can actually use?

    In the new CS6 Indesign (which is very easy to use to make forms) I've gone through all the steps to make a beautiful form whose buttons, text fields, and hyperlinks all work (great!) but now I've stumbled across one VITAL problem: the submit form button does not work!
    I’ve set it up as I’ve seen it done on videos, as a “submit form” type, with the address “mailto: emailaddress.”
    Once I exported the file to a pdf interactive form, my "Print form" button works well, and I though I'd fixed the problem when I downloaded adobe reader to read my form, however, no matter what type of computer I use with it, when I hit the "submit form" button, a message saying something to the effect of “you must open in your browser” pops up.
    When dragged the pdf document into my browser like the message suggested, not only did the “submit form” button still not work, but now I cannot interact with any of the buttons or fields!
    My goal here is simple: make an interactive form my clients can access online (whether as a downloadable pdf or directly on my website) that they can fill out and submit to us directly to our email.  As many of our clients are older, I’d like to make it as easy as possible for them to use our system, and be able to just hit the “submit form” button instead of having to go through the trouble of attaching the finished pdf they filled out to an email and submitting to us.
    All the videos I’ve come across so far talk about how to MAKE these forms, but not how to set them up to be used realistically for a business.  Any help I can have would be appreciated, I don’t mind so much how this gets done, as long as it is easy for my clients to access the form and fill it out easily and quickly. 
    Thank you in advance,
    ~Kara

    Yes, this is the page that the pdf is on.  It's the link that says "Online Ordering Form."

    what version of pages?
    what is the files type that you are trying to export?
    what do you mean unless I create a duplicate file? the whole point of export is that you get a new file with a new format

  • How do I create an interactive PDF file with variable data

    We would like to basically do a 'mail merge' of our list of customers with an interactive PDF file (including videos, menus, etc - not just form fill out and web links) to create a single PDF file that contains multiple mail pieces ... one for each customer ... with each mail piece being customized for that customer.  Customizations would include different greetings (Dear Bob, Dear Dana, etc), as well as different charts based on data unique to the customer, different photographs, etc.
    I've seen that InDesign and Acrobat Professional can be used to create an interactive PDF (such as from http://tv.adobe.com/watch/ask-the-adobe-ones/14-calling-rufus-about-interactive-pdf-making).  However I don't understand how I can insert data from a database, csv file, excel file etc into the PDF file so that each page, or each set of pages, within the PDF can be customized.
    Can anyone point me to a tool to use for this?
    Thanks,
    Bob Kendall

    For that kind of volume and unattended operation, you want InDesign Server – which is the server/high volume edition of INDD.

    If I buy Pages, will I be able I upload pdf and word files to websites?

    Pages can export to PDF and .doc formats and send those via email, but it has no "upload" function.  That is something you normally do with a browser or an ftp app.

  • How can I disable right/left mouse buttons and scroll wheel in PDF?

    Hi all,
    I want the user to have to click on "forward" and "back" buttons that I've created in the PDF, in order to move around in it. Is there any way to disable the mouse buttons and scroll wheel from allowing users to go back and forth?
    Also, a separate question: I want the user to click on embedded images and receive either a pop-up comment, or be re-directed to another page in the PDF. Is there any way to set this up?
    Thanks for your time!

    You can achieve what you want in Question 1, just not via scripting.  You would need to create a plug-in in C/C++ that would be installed on the client machine.  Other than that option, try67 is correct - there is no way to achieve this from the document-level.

  • How can I edit the email on a PDF form that's not created by me?

    I'm a beginner for Acrobat Pro and there is an email button on the form for user to email to the previous admin, how can I change the email addres to mine? When I try to edit on forms, it asked me to click "save a copy", I really can edit and changed to email address, however when I tested it, it said this is only a data but not a form.

    Tools > Content > Edit Document Text
    Better yet, edit the original source document, create a new PDF, and replace the old pages with the new: Tools > Pages > Replace

  • Created a form in Forms Central. Exported the PDF with Submit Button Option. When the PDF is filled out and submit clicked, it comes back asking for required fields to be filled but they already are. Any Help?

    Hi;
    OK - I can clarify some things and tell you how to do what your looking for. 
    The desktop FormsCentral application tools are really designed towards create forms that do collect data on FormsCentral servers.  You can still easily create PDFs that do not submit data to FormsCentral, but you'll have to add any alternative submit functionality using the Forms tools in Acrobat.  You can create a PDF without the submit button in either case, signed in/out of the Desktop Application from the "File" - "Save as PDF Form" menu item.  You can then modify the PDF in Acrobat XI Pro by doing a "Save A Copy", when you open the copy you can edit it any way you like, adding a "Submit" button that email's the PDF/Responses back to you...
    Here's how: In Acrobat open the PDF you saved from the FormsCentral Desktop application and go to "File" - "Save a Copy" and choose a location, this will remove the security.  Open up the copy you just created and you can now edit it, here is a YouTube video tutorial using Acrobat XI, he covers the email button in about two minutes, there are lots of tutorials out there but this one is easy to follow:,

  • Create a button to link to a pdf

    I created a button to link to a pdf but i cant get it to pull up when i click the button. Ive tried editing the index.asp file where the button resides but im having no luck. Can anyone help me?

    I infer that you are speaking of a form element button. You need not use a form to do this, just a hyperlink applied to the image of a button.
    I am unfamiliar with asp, but in straight html, all you need is an a tag wrapped around the 'button':
    <a href="[path to pdf]">button image</a>

  • I need instructions on how to create a button that will email a pdf form to someone else on a websit

    I NEED ASSISTANCE CREATING A BUTTON THAT WILL EMAIL A PDF FORM FROM A WEBSITE TO WHOEVER THE VIEWER WANTS TO

    Just a bit more info. E-mail can be used, but has potential problems -- often related to the client machine that you have no control over. Use the data submissions (either FDF or XML) rather than the full PDF so you do not have to deal with Reader Rights and the related license issues. The FDF and XML data files are easily imported into the original form so that you see what the client sees. With those aspects in mind, just go ahead and try one. Be aware that you can add form fields using the form tools in the Advanced Editing tools, OR use the forms menu that will take you to Designer. You might want to try both to see the pros and cons. Be sure to keep such a test simple so you are not wasting time on your final form just for testing. I typically create a 1 page form that has all of the possible fields for such a test.

    Post the PDF files to a web site. The browse to them in Safari on the iPad.  When you Open the files specify the Open to occur in Adobe Reader.  Then you can have/Save them in your Documents folder on the iPad.   An iPad has limited access to files otherwise.
