Can I anchor within a PDF to other points in that PDF?

I am creating a multipage PDF with a Table of Contents. At the conclusion of each section, I'd like to create a link, or anchor to go back to the TOC. Is this possible and if so, how can I do it?
Thank you!

You can create links and buttons anywhere you want. The bookmarking feature is used by many to create a TOC replacement. If you original application supports it you can create links within your original document. This can be done with InDesign, FrameMaker, and probably with <shudder> Word </shudder>

Html link to a named anchor within a PDF file?

So, I want a link on a web page to hop to a specific part of
a pdf file.
Same thing as using named anchors really. The issue I see
here is that the
web pag (link) has no real notion of pdf's implementation of
anchors, so how
could it know to utilise them?
I assume this is not possible, but need to make sure.
Thanks.

It is possible. You can link to a page in any pdf document,
or link to a 'Named Destination'

How do I navigate from a hyperlink on one page to an anchor within the tab widget?

Hi guys can you please assist me with that issue I am describing in the question: How do I navigate from a hyperlink on one page to an anchor within the tab widget? I assume that it is not working because the tab widget is truly just on one page and anchors work within a page but not a specific tab. Is there a way around that?
Thanks.

an interesting question. Anchors work across pages (global) without any problem. Do they work within tabs or any other widgets I haven't tried, but it looks like you have and without success. I can see the temptation for doing this, but if you think about it why would you? Set the anchor on the page next to the tab(s) and hey presto the user needs only click the tab to which the hperlink refers, nothing could be more convenient! Of course, if the user cannot relate the tab to the hyperlink there's a problem. Generally solved by titling (like if the hyperlink is cats, the tab should preferably read cats and not dogs)! It's the only work around i can think of. Hope it helps.

How do I link to an anchor point within a web page from within a PDF

Hello,
Can someone tell me how to link to an anchor point on a webpage from within a PDF?
I created a page in Word and when i add my url with the # to reference the anchor eg. www.google.com/web#test1 and test the link it all works fine. I then create a PDF of this same page however the PDF seems to strip out the URL and looks to reference a file #test1.
Any suggestions, ideas?
Thanks

How do I import my edge animation in indesign so that it can play within a PDF file

Plz help.

Hi there,
Have you tried reading this tutorial on exporting Edge Animate files to be used in InDesign?
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/enhancing-your-dps-folios-with -edge-animations.edu.html
Edge Animate files can be played in DPS folios. PDFs are not capable of playing Edge Animate files at this time. I did find a work around to get SWF files to play in PDF documents:

Why can't I "save as a word or excel online" within the PDF document

I can go online and convert a PDF to word but I can't do it within the PDF document.
When I first purchase ExportPDF a few weeks ago I was able to do this, now I can't.
I get an error that states "File failed to be converted with Adobe ExportPDF".
Please advise!!

I am getting messages that I can't download and read .pdf files since I have the wrong Adobe reader. I know about their security disasters of course, but I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader from the Adobe web site and I have other ,pdf file readers as well, and for some reason they won't work either. I have 5 computers running top end processors and RAM. By this I mean I have one, this one which I am using that has an AMD Phenom Black 3.2 Quad-core with 8 GBs of Corsair top DDR2 RAM, my other two AMD have either an Athlon II triple core with 4 GBs of DDR2 Corsair RAM, one with the Phenom X4 965 3.4 GHz Quad-core with 8 GBs of their best DDR2 RAM, and two Intels with the i7 920 Processors using the triple channel 1366 socket processors and one with 8 GBs of low latency DDR3 RAM and the other with 4 GBs of the same RAM. I am getting the message on this one, which has a fresh install of XP Pro X64 operating system, as do the other 4 as well. I have run Avast Business Pro Anti-virus on this one, which I am getting the message on with a single result which I deleted, and also both Spybot Search and Destroy, which came back clean as well as Malwarebytes Antimalware, which got a lot of tracing cookies now removed, and SuperAntiSpware which also found a few cookies also now deleted. Can you tell me what I need to do to get these files to show as .pdf files rather than as a clean blank page. One other issue is that I wish to know how to turn off my downloads so they are saved and Mozilla will give me the option of returning them instead of me losing them all together as it does now. Thanks for your assistance. If there is another Adobe reader I should download and install, could you provide me with the link to it? I appreciate your assistance here

Brilliant! Problem solved! Thanks so much.

Can't open libHaru-generated PDF with Reader, other readers work.

Our application uses libHaru to export PDF images. These PDFs can be opened using PDFlite on Windows, Preview on Mac and some other readers. However, I have tried several versions of Adobe Reader on both platforms and the files fail to open with the message: "There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading this document (14)." So, it seams that Adobe Reader believes that there is problem with this file. However, from my very limited understanding of PDF structure, I have no idea what might be wrong, so I don't know how to fix it. The file is written unencrypted. It is about as simple a PDF as we can generate - a red-filled rectangle. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or help.

For a variety of reasons, mostly related to security, the iOS operating system limits what can be done with respect to file uploading and downloading. But whenever you encounter a limitation like this always think, "There must be an app for this."
Check the apps James Ward suggests.

Open an attachment (non-PDF) within a PDF document (via button/link/other)

Good morning,
I have a PDF file where I attached an excel file and I'd like to use a mechanism (button/link/other) in the PDF to open the attachment. I read the the link technique only works if the attachment is a PDF. Is that true ? Is there anything else I could do to achieve this ?
Thanks,
Fabrizio

This can't be done with a script, but you can do it manually by going to
the link you created, editing the "Go to a page in another document" action
in it and then setting the "Open in" option to "New Window".
This can also be done with a stand-alone tool, but that is more
complicated, of course.

I lost all data in "notes" on both my iPod Touch and my new Ipad within minutes of each other. How can this happen?

Where were the devices doing since the content was there and when you found it missing?
DId you power it off ond then back on?
Did you reset the iPod?
I would try resertting the iPod. Noting is lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

How to: Add Internal anchors to a PDF and then link from an external webpage?

Hi,
I work in email marketing and create html emails that we send through our own web based system. I am just wondering if it is possible at all to create internal anchors with unique urls that I can then link to from my html email as a hyperlink?
The client has created the PDF and I am wondering if I can create the anchors and when linking to these anchors from my email, it downloads the file and opens to that specific anchor location?
Thanks in advance.

I seem to having a new issue with this task. Thanks to Bernd I have managed to create named destinations within the PDF document. From there I have then created the email and linked the pdf url with the destination tag to open to that location. However what we're finding now is that once the PDF has been downloaded once, if you go back to the email and select another link it opens the PDF in the last viewed state.
This client has created one PDF containing many different articles. In the email she has created a table of contents and wants to link from each listed article to that destination in the PDF. But once you have clicked on one link, shut down browser, go back to the email and select another link it just opens what you were viewing last. Is this a cache issues? Are we using the named destination method in the correct manner?
We tried suggesting, linking once to the PDF and then from the PDF creating a table of contents with internal anchors however the client doesn't want this.
Suggestions?

Can't open links in pdf file 9.3.2

I have installed Reader 9.3.2 and all of the sudden I can't open links within a pdf file. I get a block message and it doesn't give me the option to choose Allow. When I go to Edit > Preferences > Trust Manager > Settings everything is grayed out. I had to revert back to 9.3.1 for it to work again. Does anyone know the fix for this. Our 9.3.2 install was streamlined into a 9.3.0 msi package and then installed through a GPO.

same problem here.. but I figured it out.. Believe it or not, if you just wait 5-10min it will come up. I also "End-Task" on some exe that start or had "3D"in the name and after that adobe would come up fast when opening pdf's. Think you need to disable some of the internet related items under preferences.

Is there a way to create an email button to multiple addresses within a PDF?

I have to regularly update a list of committee members and their email addresses which is then sent to all of the members.
Does anyone know if there a way of creating a button for each of the committees in the list which, when clicked, creates an email to all the members contained within that committee? I will need to add up to 14 email addresses to the one button. I need to know this because the various members in the committees are fed up of copying and pasting all the email addresses into their email messages.
I am now using Acrobat XI but I still can't figure out if this is even possible. If not a button, is there some other way of being able to launch an email to multiple addresses within a PDF?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Not really. But you can combine the data from multiple forms into a single (new) spreadsheet via Tools - Forms - More Form Options - Merge Data Files into Spreadsheet...
