Carrying hyperlinks over from Word

Hi, I've just installed Acrobat 9 and tried to create a pdf from my Word documents and it seems to have not carried over internal (ToC) and external hyperlinks. I know I used to be able to do this. I've looked at help files with no joy - any ideas?

Thanks, Sandeep and to Bernd for the helpful link sent though. I confess it's all my fault! Because Acrobat was installed across the network I hadn't thought to restart my machine. D'Oh!
Everything working well now. Thanks
Paul

Hidden formatting held over from Word doc conversion

Our company is shifting our product manuals from Word docs to InDesign. I'm a newbie to InDesign, and I have just converted my first attempt using File>Place. This was a moderate size file (15MB), with a lot of embedded images, diagrams, and formatting. Although some of the text formatting didn't convert properly, the clean up has been easy. The biggest issues I've found are residual page and section breaks that needed to be manually removed from my text frames.
My boss, however, is hesitant and concerned that there might be some "hidden" formatting that carried over from Word that will ultimately undo all my progress and wreck havoc with the new ID document when we least expect it. Is there anything I should be looking for in particular?

ML,
This topic was just discussed at InDesignSecrets.com in the last two podcasts.

Preserving hyperlink properties from Word documents

I am using Live Cycle to convert MS Word 2007 created docs that have been pdf'ed into Acrobat forms. Within these Word files are hyperlinks that have the properties of opening a new browser window when clicked. I have set this to be the default for all hyperlinks within the document. When I save the .docx file as a .pdf file, the links behave as desired. When I create fill -in fields (text and date fields) with Live Cycle and launch the resulting modified .pdf with Acrobat, the links behave as I want. HOWEVER, when I create a link to the acrobat file/form itself in a web page, and it launches into a browser window (with IE6 it doesn't invoke the Acrobat application to launch separately, but within the browser), now, the links in the .pdf/LiveCycle file DO NOT pop a new window, but just replace the open browser window.
This is an issue with IE because if the user has halfway filled in the form, and comes to a link and clicks it, they "leave" the form window and their inputs will disappear when they click the back browser button to return to the form.
How can I preserve the "open new window in IE" for the hyperlinks as explained above?
Thanks, Jay

Hi Jay,
I will get back to you on this issue within another 24 hours. Thanks for your patience.

Inaccessible documents after changing over from Word

I recently got my MacBook Pro - and had One to One transfer "My Documents" from my PC laptop to my MacBook. About half of my documents are now gray and inaccessible to me. Anyone know why this is? More importantly - anyone know how I can retrieve these documents? These are still things that I want to work on. Thanks.

Pages does open .docx files!

Why do imported hyperlinks from Word not show up in Indesign Hyperlinks panel?

ID CS6 Windows 7
I am able to copy and paste hyperlinked text from Word into ID and everything works ok-- when exported to PDF the links work fine.
except now client wants to rename the text of the hyperlink- but there seems to be no way to even see what the URL destination is.
None of the Word links show up in the Hyperlinks panel.
I have to find out the URL and delete the original linked text and redo them.

Um. Are you not talking about proper URLs? I kind of assumed you were :)
Actually, hyperlinks *should* import just nicely into ID, not only plain URLs but also those with alternative text. But if they do, they'd show in the hyperlink panel ...
Can you check if they are mentioned in the Hyperlink Destination list in your ID document? That would confirm or disprove they are actually present, at some level.

Page/chapter numbering probs in material converted from Word

Situation: Need to convert ~300 pages (multiple files) of Word into structured Frame. I'm not very familiar with structured Frame (but am working on this), and am a long-time user of nonstructured. Moving Word 2007 files into Frame9 (in TCS2).
Problem: Chapter/page numbering. No matter what I try, including copies of a file that demonstrably works, one copy does not accept the "Continued" settings for page numbering. It resets the TOC to page 1. Copies of that file added to the TOC also reliably reset page numbering to 1. When I go in to see what's going on I find that the Numbering dialog for each problem file shows it mysteriously reset to start page numbering at 1. (These copies are nearly identical, differing only in a numeral in one heading to remind me what chapter each is file supposed to be.)
Further, when I added an autonumbered ChapterTitle paragraph at the top of each file to test chapter numbering, the page numbering problem resolved itself (!) but the chapters don't increment as expected. Numbering string: "C:Chapter <n=1>" for Chpt1 and "C:Chapter <n+>" for the rest of them.
Test setup: Saw this in production files and stepped back to use a simple Word source file as a test. Constructed several Normal paragraphs, a bulleted list, and a numbered list, and two heading levels (Heading1, Heading2) in this file. Saved; closed. Opened the file in Frame (Structured). Created several nearly identical copies and added all to a book file. Added a TOC to the book. Set the numbering: Chpt1 starts Chapter and Page at 1 and all others are set to "Continued" in both categories.
Added the ChapterTitle paragraph to each file after conversion.
In one experiment I applied several of the "target" Frame paragraph formats. Target formats were supplied by writer who works primarily in a structured Frame setup that is similar to the one planned for the converted material. In one file all paragraphs were set to their Frame equivalents. In others there was a mix of original (as brought over from Word) and Frame formats. Made no apparent difference.
Questions: Is this something about structured vs. unstructured? About structured Frame WRT conversion from Word? Either way, has anyone else seen (more to the point, *resolved*) similar?
Thanks in advance for any insight!
Anne

OK--
WRT "<$chapnum>": check, thanks for the reminder. (Yes, I agree that chapter/page numbering tabs are different items.) :-)
To clarify: yes, the idea is a Word > Frame conversion. The process stumbled upon so far starts with opening Word files in unstructured Frame. (I'd never done it, either---never had a need to try. Somebody new to Frame asked if it was possible, so we experimented and voila!) I have recommended dropping files into .mif and then resaving as .fm in order to lose any artifactual Word stuff.
Step 2 is applying appropriate Frame paragraph styles from a supplied list, and creating book files. (The page numbering issue resolved once I added a ChapterHead paragraph. Using the <$chapnum> tag handles the remaining chapter number issue.)
In theory Step 3 will be the move into handling the fully-converted material as structured Frame documents. The key point, though, appears to be the conversion table. I get this from a WritersUSA article by Alan Houser at http://www.writersua.com/articles/frame/index.html:
FrameMaker provides a mechanism called a conversion table to automate much of the task of legacy document conversion. The conversion table maps unstructured FrameMaker paragraph and character formats to elements, and allows you to automatically nest groups of elements. If your legacy documents were created using a style-based authoring tool (typically FrameMaker or Word [!]) and your authors have used those styles consistently, you may be able to automate 80%-90% of the conversion process. If your legacy documents include a significant amount of manual or ad-hoc formatting, the conversion will be substantially more tedious.
Looks like my group will have to create this.
Thanks, all, for the help. :-)

Hyperlinks not converting when creating a pdf from Word 2010 to Adobe Acrobat 11.0.6

First off, let me say that these are not table of contents hyperlinks. I have created a document in Word 2010 (not a MAC) with hyperlinks to files residing on our company's intranet. In Word the hyperlinks work great but when I create the pdf, the links do not work. I have converted using both PDFMaker from Word and Create a pdf from within Acrobat. Yes, I have all the boxes checked regarding saving links. The links appear to work partially. Meaning that when I hover the cursor over the link, the pointy finger appears but when I click I get a pop-up message telling me the file could not be opened. Also, when I hover over the hyperlink, the address appears. So, I think it knows there's a link and it tries to open but can't. When I create the file within Adobe the link works - once. When I click on the link I get a pop-up window asking me if I want to save my file before closing. After my response the file closes and the linked file opens. However, when I go back into the file and try the hyperlink again, I get the pop-up telling me the file cannot be opened. HELP! I am at my wits end. After spending hours yesterday trying to research (I think I read every thread related to hyperlinks but I am not using a Mac, table of contents or Adobe 7 around which it seems all the prior questions revolve) and futily creating and recreating the pdf (as if doing the same thing repeatedly would somehow magically work) I am about to give up. This is a document that will be published to our intranet for use by employees which cross-references other documents to which they can refer for additional information. I would prefer to publish a pdf and not a Word document. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for your input Bill. I've checked the preferences and "view large images" is turned on. It's not all of the images which are missing, only certain ones do not transfer over to PDF.

How to remove the automatically recognized hyperlinks in PDF after converting from Word?

Hi everyone!
When converting Word to PDF, texts with "http", "www", or email addresses with "@" are automatically hyperlinked.
The way Adobe Acrobat recognizes URLs is not by the text's underlying hyperlinks rather it is by the actual characters in the text. If the text contains "http" or "www" it recognizes it as a URL address, if it contains "@", it recognizes it as an email address.
I am aware that you could choose to disable the hyperlinks by going to Edit - Preferences - General - untick Create links from URLs. However, other users who have this ticked will still be able to click on the hyperlinks.
In Word, you can specify whether to add a hyperlink or not, or to direct the hyperlink to a different path. But in Adobe Acrobat, it automatically recognizes the hyperlink by its text. I know it is possible to manually add a hyperlink to a PDF, but is it possible to remove the automatically recognized hyperlinks?
Is there also some sort of ADM administrative template for this purpose?
Thanks.
.m.u.r.d.o.c.h.

I was thinking it could be possible with a document-level script that
removes all links, but then I saw that the link Acrobat adds are not real
link objects, so a script can't remove them. Therefore I think the answer is
no, you can't do it. The only way might be to use shorter addresses in order
to confuse Acrobat into thinking they're just plain text. For example, use "
google.com" instead of "http://www.google.com/". In my tests it remained as
plain text.

Can Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Pro Convert File Hyperlink From Word to PDF?

Is there any method to convert file link (eg. C:\Documents and Settings\xxx\My Documents\xx.xls) from Word 2000? I have read many related issues, but seems cannot get the final answer. Many of them only mention about URL hyperlink (eg. www.yahoo.com). Can anyone help?

Do you mean that Office XP and later version can automatically convert the file link? No need to manually create the link in Acrobat using the link tool?
I will work this out to see whether ok or not.
By the way, thank you, Michael Kazlow.

Hyperlinks in pdf's from Word

Can I create pdfs from Word with active hyperlinks in standard Acrobat?

Hi Todd,
PDFMaker is a Windows-only feature and unfortunately, there is no Acrobat Standard for Mac, only Acrobat Professional.
However, the attached document was authored in Word 2011 for Mac. I converted it to PDF via File > Print > PDF > Save as Adobe PDF (steps outlined here.). The full URL was recognized by Acrobat after the conversion and is live. The second line was a hyperlink setup in Word, but unfortunately was not recognized since that data was not included in the PDF conversion nor is it an obvious link. That said, you could use the 'Link' tool in Acrobat after the conversion to re-create that hyperlink.
Please let us know if you have any questions.

Values carried over from SDCR to SDMJ

Hi All,
does anyone know where we can control which values are carried over from a change request (SDCR) to a normal correction (SDMJ)? I know how where the partner functions are carried over but want to know where things like external reference number comes from. Thanks.
regards,
Jason

Dear Jason,
Ext reference no is the no which is generated whn you post service desk message from Satellite system
actually this no is normal the basis mesage no.
As we knw there are 2 part
1 CRM
2 Basis
External ref no belong to basis part
So if you can go your ticket and then use follow up button to your support desk ticket then again goto follow up preceding doc
here you can see the same no or basis part of ur message
For copying this no to subsequent doc you can goto spro .....change Transaction ->change Transaction type.->copy control for change req mgmt->define mapping rules
CHosse SDCR to SDMI ....Tick the field Ref....so it wil copied.
here you can chose the doc type and then wht you want to copy ( i mean field select it)
Hope it clarifies.
Regards
Prakhar

Hyperlinks not converting from Word to PDF

I've read the other discussions regarding this topic & the solutions don't seem to work for me. I'm using Word '07 converting to Acrobat 8. Some of my hyperlinks will convert but not all. AND, one hyperlink is linking wrong in Acrobat even though it's correct in Word. I've checked my preferences in Word & Acrobat - all the right things are checked. I've tried creating it from Word & from Acrobat & nothing is working.
Can anybody ease my frustation? Please?!
Thank you.

Please repost in the Acrobat forum.

Hyperlinks in PDFs made from Word no longer work

PDFs made from Word documents containing hyperlinks used to be no problem. I can still make PDFs from Word (using the 'Save as PDF' in the print driver), and the links show up as underlined blue text, but they no longer work.
It's been several months since I last made a Word doc with links and successfully converted it to PDF in this manner, but I can't imagine what might have changed.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Try to redo the default browser (i.e make IE the default and then let Firefox do it again).

Since the latest update I am unable to carry a search from one playlist over to another (example: looking for one song or one artist over several different playlists looking for duplicates). Is there something in settings that would allow me to do this?

How do I embed hyperlinks from Word 03?

Hyperlinks from Word 03 do not work on pdf. The link is highlighted and underlined on pdf but doesn't work. Solution?

Hello,
I apologize for the delay in responding to your post. Are you viewing the converted PDF within the PDF viewer? If so, this is why the links appear not to work... it's a known issue with Acrobat.com's PDF preview function - we're working on it. If you open the PDF using Reader or Acrobat the links should work... let me know!
Kind Regards,
Michelle
