Cannot change existing link in CS4 on Windows 7

I am really hoping that some else has run into this issue!
I have Dreamweaver CS4 running on a 64 bit version of Windows 7. When I try to edit an existing link via the Properties panel the link will not change when I select a new page/file. Now if I select a page/file I don't want to link to, then the page/file that I want to link to it works fine. Seems to me that a person shouldn't have to do that to link to a different page/file. I never had to do that when I was running XP.
Here is a screen of what I see when I first click on a different page/file. Notice the URL at the bottom still shows the old file.
Any help here would be much appreciated.

Unfortunately that's a known bug with CS4 on Win 7 and Vista SP2.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2551997
Adobe has never issued a patch for CS4.
The only options are to live with a workaround (select a different folder first then select the folder/file you really want) or upgrade to CS5.
I'm in the same boat as you. I've frustratingly accepted that Adobe won't be patching it in CS4 and I have to workaround it.

  • Is there a good way to automate changing existing links to external PDFs to instead be to PDF attachments with same names?

    Greetings!
    Can anyone tell me a good way to automate changing a "main" PDF's existing hyperlinks to external PDFs to instead be links to PDF attachments to the main PDF (the attached PDFs to have the same filenames as the external PDFs) ?
    Format of current link in main PDF:
    Go to a page in another document
    File: C:\\path\filename.pdf
    Destination name: P:1
    When link is manually changed to link to a PDF that has been attached to the main PDF:
    Go to a page in another document
    File: PDF attachment
    Page: 1
    Zoom level: Fit page
    The new PDF link does not list the PDF attachment filename in the link.
    The main PDF (the one that has the links that I would like to automatically change) is generated with the hyperlinks to other PDFs from Adobe FrameMaker 11.  In FrameMaker11, we added special marker text "openpage filename.pdf:1" that is "automatically" changed to be hyperlinks to external PDFs when the main PDF is created (postscript file is processed) by Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.
    My first choice is to be able to change the format of the special marker text in Adobe FrameMaker source file, but I have not found way to specify a link to be to a PDF attachment with a certain filename.
    However, I would also really like the option of running a batch file on a main PDF to change the links there.
    Has anyone tried using that Adobe ExtendScript ToolKit CS6 to do this? That is, a script that could automatically modify the hyperlinks in a PDF to link to PDF attachments rather than external PDFs, or else modify the unprocessed links while they are still in Postscript file format, or else modify the marker text in FrameMaker to instead of creating a link to a PDF in the same directory as the main PDF being processed, to create a link to a PDF attachment files?
    Thank you,

    FrameMaker's Hypertext feature has no ability to "link" to an attachment on/in a target PDF.
    PDFs sourced from FM can have named destinations set in the FM authoring files such that a link from file01.fm to the specified named destination in file01.fm will be functional in the PDFs created from the FM files.
    Then, of course, there's the dynamics possible by use o FM Books. But that's the grist for the mills at the FM user-2-user forum.
    RE: Scripting - PDF scripting is via Acrobat JavaScript. That something still of and by Adobe although it may migrate to an ISO Standard (or be rolled up in a future ISO 32000).
    So, to the point - look to Acrobat JavaScript for scripting.
    Be well...

  • Cannot establish a link between MacPro and Windows 2003 Server

    I just had an issue where we had a server crash. This server supports several PCs, as well as two Macs. The server has been brought back online and can communicate with all of the PCs. However, neither one of the Macs can now communicate with the server.
    When I try to connect through the sidebar in the finder window, it will bring up the authentication window. But after I type in my password and hit enter, it gives me the message, "The alias "" could not be opened because the original item could not be found."
    When I try to connect through Go>Connect to Server, it gives me the message, "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "" could not be read or written (Error code -36).
    My IT guy says that everything is alright with the server and that the problem has to be in the Mac settings. He does not know anything about Macs, however.
    Can somebody help me out with this issue?

    The only thing that comes to mind is a few settings in the Security Options of the Local Policy. Here's a link:

  • Cannot use email link add-in with windows 8.1

    Emailing links directly from firefox using my email used to be easy but now using windows 8.1 (and currently firefox v 37.0.1) I keep getting sent to a page requesting that I add my email account (office 365). However when I do this it just says that this account is already added and does not give me any other options.

    Oh, was that solved already?
    What's the issue with Bing? If it's showing up on new tabs... Here's how you can change your new tab page:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page:
    * ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
    * ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
    * ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
    * ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
    Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?
    If problems persist, some potential diagnoses and remedies:
    ''If Firefox won't let you edit this setting:'' you may have something called SearchProtect on your system. This needs to be removed from the Windows Control Panel.
    ''If Firefox lets you save your change but ignores it:'' one of your extensions may be overriding it. You can review, disable, and/or remove extensions on the add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then cast a critical eye over the list on the right and disable (or remove) anything unknown.
    ''If the change works during your session, but at the next startup is back to the unwanted page:'' you might have a user.js file in your personal Firefox settings folder (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and remove the file: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
    Any luck?

    Hello bh8er,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having mail issues with your Mac. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are seeing/describing. What are you seeing when you go to Mail > Preferences and select the Accounts tab? Does it show more than one account in the left hand column, and does it allow you to select your account? What does it say for Account Type? You may also find the additional troubleshooting steps in the following article helpful, in particular the portion about using the Mail Connection Doctor:

  • Cannot Change Desktop Background in Windows 8 Installed Via Bootcamp

    I select the new image in desktop background in personalization click save changes and the background stays the same...?
    I don't get it.
    And by the way, I am NOT new to windows or mac, been using both for a long time and was a systems administrator and bench for years, this is NOT a novice "how to" question...It's just not working?
    Anyone else seen this before?

    are you using an activated version of win 8? you cant personalise win desktop otherwise.

  • Windows 8.1 cannot change password in Windows 2003 domain level domain

    On several installations of windows 8.1 enterprise, users cannot change passwords by using <ctrl> + <al> + <del> keys and choosing change password. 
    The error is: "The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship"
    Fresh Windows 8.1 enterprise installs with no patches to fully patched windows 8.1 enterprise workstations have the problem.  Backed out patches one by one and tested password change without success.  Tried various dell laptops, tablets, and workstations
    but same issue.  Tried VMware guest workstation with windows 8.1 enterprise.  The domain functional level is 2003 with a mixture of Windows 2008 R2 DC's and Windows 2003 DC's.
    The add/remove from domain did not help.  What troubleshooting steps should I take from this point?  Is this related to secure channel failures?  Note: did not find event log entries for the failures in the DC's nor on the workstation. 
    Perhaps I did not search  for the proper entry on the DC's.

    Hi,
    Please find below several possible cause of error “The security database on the server does
    not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship”
    Secure channel is broken (Can fix by rejoin problematic client to domain)
    AD replication issue. The computer account exists on one domain controller but not others.
    Duplicated SPN (seems not possible)
    So, to narrow down the issue, you need to make sure the AD replication is working fine. Please run command
    repadmin /showrepl * on a DC, then post the result here.
    After that, please run
    set l on a problematic client, then post the result here.
    Moreover, please check on system event log and check if there have any related error of the issue.
    Thanks.

  • Yahoo Search Links Opening in New Windows Instead of Existing Window

    This literally happened withn the last hour. I've done some Yahoo searches, and when I click the link, instead of opening it in the existing window like it always does, it opens the links in new windows.
    Is this something I did inadvertendly? How can I fix this? I don't want to have to right click to open in a new tab in the same window.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

    Hello, dear Colleagues.
    User with administrators rights cannot change printer properties on "Advanced" tab from "Devices and Printers" on Windows Server 2012 R2. 
    If to launch "Devices and Printers" on server, all printer properties on "Advanced" tab are inactive (see screen below). 
    But I can change it manually with "Print Management". Features become active.
    The main purpose - to uncheck "Enable advanced printing features"  with powershell
    scripts.
    $erroractionpreference = "continue"
    $colPrinters = Get-Wmiobject -Class win32_printer -computername print_server -Filter "Name like 'printer1' or Name like 'printer2' or Name like 'printer3' or Name like 'printer4' or Name like 'printer5' or Name like 'printer6'" # get printers on server and filter with names

    Write-Host $objPrinter.RawOnly
    $objPrinter.RawOnly = "True" # Untick and update the object in WMI
    $objPrinter.Put()

    Can you help me with that? Look like somethings with rights.
    Thank you.

    Hello, Alan
    Morris.
    Thanks for your reply.
    I've tried to runs PS Script both locally and remotely, previously running Powershell ISE as Administrator.
    I've noticed interesting thing - if to
    check "Enable advanced printing features"
    manually thru Print Management snap-in, script works fine. But, time to time after some manipulations on print server, this advanced feature returns to enabled state automatically by system, I think. In this case PS Script does not work. Next, if to disable
    feature manually again (thru Print Management snap-in),
    and enable manually again, PS Script will work. Very strange situation.
    Thanks.

  • Cannot change Material Type due to existing DR

    Hi All,
    I tried changing one material by it reflects an existing Delivery for the said material, I checked the DR and found that it was already received - although its Shipment Cost hasn't been transferred. What should be done with these DRs?
    =)

    To change a materials type you will have to make sure that all documents are complete and ther is no stock of the item.
    As long as there are open documents you cannot change the materials type.

  • Windows host cannot establish Ethernet link to Arch Router

    This is a weird problem.
    I have a Windows host about 20 meters away from my Arch Router, the Ethernet cable goes into the wall, with wall sockets, so it's a total of 3 cables (1 in wall, 1 @ router, 1 @ host). I've tested the Ethernet cables with a LAN tester, they are all fine. When I connect the host to a Linksys router using the same cables, an IP address is obtained and the link is up and running.
    But when I connect the host to my Arch Router (an Arch computer with some network cards), no ethernet link at all is detected. No lights on the ethernet card of the host, and ethtool on the router reports the link being down. I have connected my laptop to this ethernet card of the router and it works just fine, I get an IP and I can surf the web etc.
    I really have no clue why this other host cannot establish a link. Does anyone have a clue what the problem might be?

    pyther is right. Check for Auto-MDIX support on your network cards.
    What network cards are you using?
    Rule of thumb:
    Auto-MDIX is a requirement in the Gigabit Ethernet specification, so proper Gigabit capable cards will work 99% of the time whatever cable you use.
    Fast Ethernet (100mbit) and below does not have Auto-MDIX in it's specification, so those 9 out of 10 of those cards will not perform it! When connecting these directly to another network card, use a cross-cable.
    Also make sure the network cards are in working order. I assume the ArchRouter PC's network runs fine when you connect that to your Linksys router?

    When I send my ical link to my better half , who sadly, still uses a windows based system- He cannot open the link back to my calendar- any help?

    I've been using iCloud since it's inception as "mac.com" or whatever it was called. I've been able to Sync Outlook Exchange Calenars to my iMac, iPhone and iPad. However, I cannot get iCal (when viewed in iCloud) to display Exchange or Google Calender items.
    It's odd, all other Mac versions of iCal are happy e.g. iMac, MacBook Air, iPad Air, iPhone etc. But nothing when I login to icloud.com and look at the iCal there.
