Conversion of Microsoft Word 2010 to PDF-Links not working in the PDF

I have a Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit Operating System and Microsoft Word 2010. There is a particular word document(Word 2010) that I need to convert to PDF.I did a "save as" and stored it as a PDF. But the issue in the PDF is that the links in the "Table of Contents" do NOT work. I am using Adobe Reader 10.1.2.Please let me know how could I do the conversion and how can the links work correctly

Adobe Reader 10.1.2 cannot convert DOC files to PDFs. You will need Adobe Acrobat to do this.
Save As > Adobe PDF feature is using Microsoft's PDF converter. You may need to follow up with them regarding the same.

I just installed Adobe CreatePDF desktop printer, when I try to use from Word or Excel, it does not work. The Adobe print queue says "error" in the status screen. I have uninstalled and re-installed. Any ideas of what to do next?

I just installed Adobe CreatePDF desktop printer on a Windows 7 home PC. When I try to use from Word or EWxcel, it does not print. The Adobe print device queue reports an "error" in the status column.

Adobe retired this Feb 17, 2014.
This app sent content to and got content from the web based services of "CreatPDF" and "PDF Pack".
These are subscription services out in "the cloud". When the app was live you had to be online and signed into your account. The user forum for CreatePDF has a DOC that speaks to the app removal.

PDF Viewer Not Working Some Scanned PDF Files.

I Have Firefox Latest Version. I Want To View PDF files in Firefox without downloading them. But Firefox PDF Viewer Not Working Scanned PDF. Other Browsers Can View It.

This Is A Serious Problem & Please Fix This Issue.
Thank You.

Same problem. Am using Firefox 24 (W7x64).
I've tried setting it to use the built-in PDF viewer, to always asking, to using Adobe plugin, to using Nitro plugin.
I changed the pdfjs.disabled in about:config to true but that didn't help.
The plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types was set to
user set string ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

PDF Link Not Working - Can't Isolate the Issue

I have a unique issue I can't figure out. The trouble
shooting I have done so far is this: (1) I've recreated my Topic
several times using old topics that work, ones in version control,
ones not in version control, blank ones, and even from scratch as a
New Project. (2) I've recreated my Word Doc and PDF. (3) I've
uninstalled Robo Help 5 and reinstalled it. (4) I've uninstalled
then reinstalled Adobe. (5) I've uninstalled then reinstalled MS
Office. After reinstalling all of the above, I created the Topic
yet another time.
I took an existing Project which was initially created in v4
with a PDF Link created in Word then converted to a PDF in Word.
This topic was not in version control and I copied it onto my Local
Drive. From my Local Drive, I modified the Topic to include all of
my new information. I left the original PDF Link, however, to test
it. Here are the results:
A) The original PDF Link still operates just fine. It
launches the PDF with no problem.
B) The new PDF Links I am trying to create refuse to work no
matter what I do. WHY? When I click on the PDF Link in my compiled
CHM, I get an Internet Explorer Window with an error that the "Page
cannot be displayed". I have tried this on a network drive and on a
local drive.
Are there any ideas or suggestions? Linking a PDF does not
require rocket science. I have done dozens of them over the past
couple years and never had this issue. All of my other hyperlinks
are working just fine (ie to external CHMs) - just not to PDF or
DOC files.
1 thing I did notice which is why I uninstalled then
reinstalled everything: I found the new option inside Word of
ROBOPDF, and that is what I initially used. When I noticed a
coworker did things differently, I decided to delete that,
reinstall it all, then created the PDF the old way through the PDF
Maker toolbar in Word. I got the same results.
Please, please email me if possible:

Internal pdf links not working in chrome and firefox

I have some PDF files that I am adding links to additional PDF files that are located in the same folder on our webserver using Acrobat Pro XI. The links work fine in IE and the other PDF files open up and display well in the IE browser, but the links don't even show up in Chrome and will not open in Firefox. Further, the links in Safari, deliver an error message pop up saying the file could not be opened. If you click OK, the file does open. Also, in Acrobat > Tools > Add or Edit Link, I can change the properties to "Open File" and pick the "Open in New Window" option, but when I save the changes and come back, the option has automatically changed back to "Execute a Menu Item" and of course, the file I'm linking to does not open in a new Window. These files were originally created in Word by another person and the person who converted them to PDF added fillable form fields throughout the document prior to converting to PDF. The links I am adding are being added using Acrobat Pro XI in the PDF file. Should we insert the above-mentioned links in the Word docs prior to converting to PDF to ensure the links work in all browsers, or are these browser issues common to all internal PDF links?
Please help!
Thanks,

Make sure that you are using the Adobe PDF NPAPI viewer for Chrome and Firefox. Both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox now have their own default PDF viewers.

Why text and button links on a PDF do not work in the iPad

I have Acrobat Pro 9.2.3 and InDesign CS5.
I've tried creating both button and text links directly from InDesign (Window > Interactive > Hyperlinks). I then export the multi-page PDF with "Acrobat 6 and Above" selected as well as the "Hyperlinks" and "Interactive Elements" checked. When I open the PDF in my iPad, none of the text or button links work.
Then . . .
I tried opening the same multi-page PDF in Acrobat Pro, and manually created the link boxes (Tools > Advanced Editing > Link Tool). The iPad still can't interprete these two interactive elements.
Any clues what I'm doing wrong?

Try exporting as ePub - now test inside Digital Editions and if OK - drag the file into iTunes and synch to iPhone/iPad.
It's probably a Preview issue as mentioned but exporting to ePub is good fun!

Acrobat 9 pdf links not working from InDesign CS3. What is wrong?

My links are working in my 40 page Indesign CS3 file using Mac. After I convert to a .pdf, some of the links are no longer going to the right location. They have either duplicated other links, or trying to take me incorrectly to my desktop or network. Can't figure out what is wrong.

Links meant to go to an outside website are supposed to be filled out in the following format : http://www.phillipmjones.net
in Acrobat should look something like : This is my personal website
In Acrobat go go create you link then click on action:
(I'm using my own personal website as an example)
If you choose something else such as open a file then that is what it does.

PDF links not working in Safari?

I'm noticing that links in PDFs (made with Acrobat 9) are not accessible when viewing the PDF in Safari (although they do work in iBooks). Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

I don't beleive Safari for iOS opens PDF documents natively. You may need a reader, such as Goodreader to open them.
Correction - it does open the PDFs in the browser (but gives a choice of otherapps). My mistake

Draft PDF link not working?

OK, this is happening now for someone using both Contribute CS4 and Contribute CS3 (we're also using the Contribute Publishing Server, if that matters).
We've tried sending a PDF as a draft to someone else by using the "Send File from My Computer" option. The PDF is listed in the Draft Console, however, nothing happens when one clicks the link (it's like the Draft Console just reloads) and there doesn't appear to be any way to approve, delete, etc. the draft PDF that we were sent.
If I right click on the link, and do copy, I get a link like http://www.example.com/MMWIP/f42d9d462bb09f15/6620e8ceca42d429.pdf (which I guess isn't surprising since it's a draft). If I copy it into a regular browser, I get the PDF that we uploaded for review so I know it's there, but if I paste it into contribute, I just return to the Draft Console.
Any ideas about what might be going on here? Apparently it was working on Contribute 3.11, which is the version that the person using CS4 had been using. Most sites are administered by me, who is using CS3. I don't know if that might cause any problems or not.

The workflow of the drafts have been changed in the newer version (from CS4) of Contribute. To know more about the new workflow process, please refer to Assigning workflow & drafts review process.
Since the draft workflow had been enhanced,
a) The draft created and send for review/edit/publish from CS5 (/CS4) to the user using CS3, will not receive the draft.
b) The draft created and send for review from CS3 to the user using CS5 (/CS4), the user will receive the draft, but will follow the CS3 draft review process, not the new review process.
If this is not the case, please check by sending the PDF to the same user.

Internal PDF links not working in AIR

I have an AIR application that accesses and opens PDFs of lesson plans. Works great. However, when opened in AIR the internal links between PDF files no longer work, it just generates an error. Is there an easy solution to this?
Thanks in advance...

Thanks for the quick reply. AIR 1.5, Reader 9. I have attached a file that
has this issue. If you select the first link in the menu "Lesson 1.1", then
scroll down to the bottom of page 4 of the resulting PDF, there will be a
link to "Lesson 1.1 Teacher Notes". The error happens there. It should
open the file that is the second link in the menu. The error returned is
"Could not open file "Lesson1_1_TeachersNotes.pdf"" This works fine when
previewing the original html setup (built in Dreamweaver) in Internet
Explorer, so the links worked before. They just no longer work when opened
in AIR.
Thanks,
Wes

X-refs are not working in the PDF output

I correctly generated a PDF from a ditamap using DITA-FMx and cross-references are not working.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks Scott, although I don't think this is the best solution in our case.
The target PDF is a file that is delivered to a customer. This means that it won't keep the same location on the file system, and therefore links will no longer work I guess. In addition to that, we are still not ready for publishing our doc on the web. So the delivered PDF is a file that lives on its own.
If the problem occurs only across different nested ditamaps, I thought I could get rid of these nested diatamaps and just have a global ditamap containing only topics. But then how would I obtain the different section levels in the TOC?
Today, I use nested diatamaps in order to get the following structure:
|_ Section 1
|
|_ Section 2
|_ Section 2.a
|_ Section 2.b
|_ Section 2.c
|
|_ Section 3
where Section 2 is a ditamap with three topics.
Are there other alternatives to nested ditamaps in order to keep the same level of indentation?
Thanks

Plain Text URL links not working in the Windows 8 Mail App for only one account.

Hello,
I just started using a Surface Pro, and randomly one of the accounts I have setup in the "Modern" Mail app stopped parsing the pain text URL path that was included in them. Specifically links to forum discussions. I have 4 other Win
8 devices and they display the links fine.
More confusing is this issue happens ONLY with my O365 mail account and only on one PC. I have an Outlook.com account and it renders the pain text URL as a clickable link, but when I send the same email to my O365 account it just shows up as
text, no link generated. All in the same Windows 8 Mail App.
I ran the Windows 8 App Troubleshooter, I've reinstalled the Mail app, I've removed and re-added the mail account. Nothing fixes this. Anyone know why?
Thanks,
Joe

Same problem for us, the link is also not rendered, if the mail is sent to an on-premise Exchange server.
Its only for plain-text messags, HTML-messages work fine.
Why is this problem ignored? The app is useless with that limitation.

Buttons not Working in the PDF version

When viewing the PDF file generated after publishing my project I'm unable to toggle the TOC button (this is an image button I added on the slides, with a Toggle action to show/hide the Table of Contents. Any ideas what might be wrong?

Perhaps that's simply a feature that isn't supported by presenting a Captivate intended for the web from inside a PDF?
Just guessing... Rick

How can I send emails to a list of email addresses using mail merge feature in Microsoft Word for Mac? It would work with the power pc but not with macbook Air

I want to send an email and personalize it to several contacts. I could always do it with my old Power PC using Microsoft Office Word for Mac but cannot access my emailoption when I use the Macbook Air. Anyone have a solution??

No way for us to know for sure (without similar product/issues) but the
HP Support site suggests that with the current Mavericks OS X 10.9.x
their drivers should be available through Apple Software Updates:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/HP-Product-Support-using- Apple-Software-Updates-for-new-OS-X/td-p/3086229
However that may be limited to certain models of printers or scanners that
already had been known to be working under OS X as of that date in a
prior OS X (such as 10.8.5, 10.7.5, 10.6.8, etc) with earlier product support.

•OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download
HP Officejet t65 All-in-One Printer
{According to this page, your old printer has only Windows & Linux drivers
but you may or may not look into third-party driver support through such
sites as Gimp; though unlikely to be available with Mavericks, or Yosemite}
•HP Support Forum - Home:

You may be able to get a deal on a new printer as they are rapidly obsoleted.
PS: edit to add... there was a Gutenprint driver reference for T65 Printer here:
Mac OS X 10.5: Included printer drivers
Yet a driver for ancient Leopard 10.5.x may not be suitable for Mavericks 10.9.x
but the Gutenprint lead may be helpful to locate whatever may exist; or not.

PDF LINKS NOT WORKING !!!!!

Dear all,
I tried several time to load a pdf file and clickable for each sublinks.
this is the code in my root:
var newsXML:XML = new XML();
newsXML.ignoreWhite = true;
var output:String = "";
newsXML.onLoad = function(success) {
    if (success) {
    for(var i:Number=0;i<newsXML.childNodes[1].childNodes.length;i++){
var tlink:String = newsXML.childNodes[1].attributes.Name;
var linkS:String = newsXML.childNodes[1].childNodes[i].attributes.name;
var textS:String = newsXML.childNodes[1].childNodes[i].firstChild.nodeValue;
var pdfS:String = newsXML.childNodes[1].childNodes[i].attributes.pdfurls;
var urlpdf = pdfS;
_root.sub_bg.subTXT1.htmlText += "<a href='asfunction:linkF,"+textS+"'>"+linkS+"</a><br>";
_root.sub_bg.linktitle.htmlText = tlink;
_root.bg.butpdf.onRelease = function() {
getURL(urlpdf,"_blank");
What i missed?
i appreciate your help!
MELAS

great. so, if your buttons are _root.bg.butpdf0, _root.bg.butpdf1,...
use:
this is the code in my root:
var newsXML:XML = new XML();
newsXML.ignoreWhite = true;
var output:String = "";
newsXML.onLoad = function(success) {
    if (success) {
    for(var i:Number=0;i<newsXML.childNodes[1].childNodes.length;i++){

_root.sub_bg.subTXT1.htmlText += "<a href='asfunction:linkF,"+textS+"'>"+linkS+"</a><br>";
_root.sub_bg.linktitle.htmlText = tlink;
_root.bg["butpdf"+i].urlpdf = pdfS;
