Convert text to hyperlink?

Hi,
I have asked for this feature for the past few versions of Captivate.
I want to create a childrens course on the English language, and it would be ideal to be able to have a sentence on the screen and then the child clicks on the wrong word etc and then which ever word they choose takes them to another slide.
I want to be able to highlight a word or a froup of words and create a hyperlink that will go to another slide.
Can this be done yet?

There exists an interactive widget that allows you to create a piece of rollover text that looks just like a hyperlink:
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/catalog/widgets/interactive/wdgt_hyperlink_01
You still need to set the Success action for clicking the text to open the URL desired.
Is this more along the lines of what you wanted?

Is there any function module for converting text to hyperlink?

Hello all,
          I am designing an application in BSP wherein the user can enter hypertext values for some
          of the data enteries in the database table. Is there any function module available for converting
          text into hypertext. Eg. if the user enters 'www.mypersonalwp.com' then it should convert this
          text value into a hyperlink.
Thanks in advance.

Convert text to hyperlink within object

Hi,
How can I convert part of the text within a text caption to a hyperlink? I do not want the whole text caption to be a Flash hotspot though...
Thanks for your time

Hi again
I'm thinking you could achieve this as follows.
You could insert a Click Box that you would use to pause the project. The trick would be to time it so it pauses at the right time. You would then configure it as Hidden by clicking the Options tab and clearing the Visible check box. (If it isn't visible, it won't pause).
Now you configure your Click Box for Multiple actions. The first action would be to open the URL in a New window. The second action would be to show the hidden Click Box you inserted to pause the project.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

Convert URL to Hyperlinks in Indesign

Hyperlinks in 2-3 lines are clickable when exported to PDF
I have many URL in the PDF, but the problem is the URL's that are in 1 line are clickable.
The URLs that runs to 2-3 lines are not clickable. One the 1st line of the same URL is clickable.
For example:
https://developer.atlassian.com/display/DOCS/Set+Up+the+Eclipse+IDE+for+Linux
On the page layout the same URL comes in 2 lines. Only the URL till https://developer.atlassian.com/display/DOCS/Set+Up is clickable, but the following URL is not clicable in PDF.
Please assist me with this.

Thanks Ellis for the sugesstion but we have to convert all the Hyperlinks Manually and its taking lot of time.
I have found a Script from http://kasyan.ho.com.ua/make_hyperlinks_from_urls.html.
But there is a little problem.
When I run this script its converting the URL to Hyperlink, but its changing the original URL text present in the Indesign file.
Can this script search for a specific URL character style and convert it to Hyperlink by retaining the Original text in Indesign.
For Example:
The Original URL in Indesign file is this:
https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Connecting+JIRA+to+a+Database
When I run the script its changed to:
confluence.atlassian.com
Please help me.

Make hyperlink text actual hyperlinks

We have a couple of CSV files we use for datamerging with InDesign. Some of the text in the CSV has hyperlinks in the paragraph.
Since InDesign does not automatically make hyperlinks in the CSV text actual hyperlinks and there is no special syntax to indicate it is a hyperlink (such as using @ for image paths).....we have decided to wrap any hyperlink text with the <link></link> tag.
InDesign, we want to find all of these <link> tags and replace it with an actual hyperlink. The link maybe an http link, mailto link, or a tel link.
How would I do this with InDesign scripting (prefably javascript or c#)?
I have the following so far in C# (similiar to javascript):
app.FindTextPreferences.FindWhat = "<link>";
How do I replace it with a hyperlink?

Hi,
as you want to use the found link itsself as textsource ... have you thought of calling the command 'convert Urls to hyperlinks in the GUI'¿
The link-tags wouldn't be needed then ...
A script could be like this:
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
var doc = app.activeDocument;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = '(?<=<link>)[^<link>]+(?=</link>)';
var objs = doc.findGrep();
l = objs.length;
while(l--)
     var currTarget = objs[l];
    var lnkDest = doc.hyperlinkURLDestinations.add(currTarget.texts[0].contents);
    var lnkSrc = doc.hyperlinkTextSources.add(currTarget);
    var lnk = doc.hyperlinks.add(lnkSrc, lnkDest);
    var leftIndex = currTarget.index;
    var rigthIndex = currTarget.index + objs[l].length;
    var pStory = currTarget.parentStory;
    pStory.characters.itemByRange(rigthIndex, rigthIndex+6).remove();
      pStory.characters.itemByRange(leftIndex-6, leftIndex-1).remove();
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = '<link>|</link>';
app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = '';
doc.changeGrep();
The commented stuff would delete the link-Tags during the repeatloop instead of the actually used second search ...
Didn't test what'll be faster ...

"Convert Text to Table" Size limit issue?

Alphabetize a List
I’ve been using this well known work around for years.
Select your list and in the Menu bar click Format>Table>Convert Text to Table
Select one of the column’s cells (1st click selects entire table, 2nd click selects individual cell)
Open “Table Inspector” (Click Table icon at top of Pages document)
Make sure “table” button is selected, not “format” button
Choose Sort Ascending from the Edit Rows & Columns pop-up menu
Finally, click Format>Table>Convert Table to Text.
A few days ago I added items & my list was 999 items long, ~22 pages.
Tonight, I added 4 more items. Still the same # pages but now 1,003 items long.
Unable to Convert Text to Table! Tried for 45 minutes. I think there is a list length limit, perhaps 999 items?
I tried closing the document w/o any changes. Re-opening Pages & re-adding my new items to the end of the list as always & once again when I highlight list & Format>Table>Convert Text to Table .....nothing happens! I could highlight part of the list up to 999 items & leave the 4 new items unhighlighted & it works. I pasted the list into a new doc and copied a few items from the middle of the list & added them to the end of my new 999 list to make it 1003 items long (but different items) & did NOT work. I even attempted to add a single new item making the list an even 1000 items long & nope, not working. Even restarted iMac, no luck.
I can get it to work with 999 or fewer items easily as always but no way when I add even a single new item.
Anyone else have this problem? It s/b easy to test out. If you have a list of say, 100 items, just copy & repeatedly paste into a new document multiple times to get over 1,000 & see if you can select all & then convert it from text to table.
Thanks!

G,
Yes, Pages has a table size limit, as you have discovered. Numbers has a much greater capacity for table length, so if you do your sort in Numbers you won't have any practical limitation.
A better approach than switching to Numbers for the sort would be to download, install and activate Devon Wordservice. Then you could sort your list without converting it to a table.

How do I use the Services menu to convert text to an iTunes track?

I'm trying to convert text to an iTunes track using the Services option on the Firefox drop down menu, but having trouble with it. I have set my preferences to turn on that option, but all that happens is I get a spinning wheel at the top of my screen, and it doesn't record. I can't see anything in the iTunes settings that I need to change, but wondering if that could be the problem? Any help would be appreciated.

I have created a email in Fireworks and wanted to make a line of text a hyperlink that would take the viewer to a page on my website. I want to attach the final document to my email and sending it out.

I have created a email in Fireworks and wanted to make a line of text a hyperlink that would take the viewer to a page on my website. I want to attach the final document to my email and sending it out.

1) design for no wider than 600px (otherwise it may not fit in email clients).
2) Slice up your newsletter design in segments for images and html areas with the slice tool.
3) add the <a href="http://www.yourwebsite.com">my website</a> link in one of the html areas.
4) export as generic html 4 code, and put the images in a separate folder.
5) upload all the images to your website's server in a folder (you cannot embed images in an email newsletter - they must link to externally hosted images).
6) change all the links in your html page to the ones that were loaded up on your server. For example, an image's source link would work out similar to this: <img src="http://www.yourwebsite.com/newsletter/image1.jpg" alt="alternate description of your image">
7) open the newsletter with working external images in Chrome or Firefox. Select the entire page content (ctrl-a), and copy it (ctrl-c).
8) create a new email in your mail client. Place the cursor in the body. Paste the newsletter (ctrl-v).
9) send your newsletter to hundreds of recipients, and get blacklisted by several email servers. Receive warning messages from your own hosting provider not to spam other users' email accounts.
10) realize this is too much of a hassle, and instead opt for a service such as MailChimp.
(The result in (9) depends on whether you sent out your newletter only to acquaintances, or not. But even then you might be warned off.)
Btw, many email clients turn off images in an email by default. You must provide the most important content as html, not as images.

Problem in converting text to image.

Hi I am trying to convert a text to image. The code for the same is pasted below. The problem is how do I change the background color. No matter what color I give with Graphics2D object, the background is always black. I want a white background.
public class TextToImg1
public static void main(String args[])
try
int width = 400;
int height = 400;
BufferedImage bimage = new BufferedImage(width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Graphics2D g2D = bimage.createGraphics();
g2D.drawString("This is the sample page to convert text to image.",100,100);
g2D.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
g2D.setColor(Color.WHITE);
File f = new File ("anImage.jpg");
ImageIO.write (bimage, "jpeg", f);
catch(Exception exception)
System.err.println(exception.getMessage());
}

Probably because you didn't draw the background. Use the fillRect(...) method to paint the background using the color your want.

Acrobat Pro 10.1.2, unable to convert text to outlines

Hello,
Since updating to Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.2 on Mac OS X 10.7.2, I am unable to use the flattner preview to convert text to outlines. The dialog box appears, and there are no error messages, but upon comleting the same steps I've been using for years (including last week), text is not converted to outlines. It just isn't working. There is no feedback, or error message. I have tried restarting the computer and that did not help. I will try deleting the preferences. Anyone else have this problem, or have a fix for it?
Thank you.

Hello,
Thank you for the suggestion, but unfortunately that did not solve my problem.
I use the flatner preview to covert text to outlines so that I can edit PDF files when I do not have the original fonts - and so that I don't have to use replacement fonts. Editing the text isn't necessary in this case so converting the text to curves is not a problem.
Unfortunately, I am still without a solution. I really don't want to rasterize the file (convert to bitmap) because I would like to keep it in a vector format for editing in Illustrator.

InDesign cross-document Text Anchor Hyperlinks

I’m combining several InDesign files into one PDF, with several hundred text links across the different sections, as well as within each. The cross-document (section) Text Anchor Hyperlinks work fine in my workspace - but when I change the file location, they are no longer active (other links, bookmarks remain intact).
How do I set up InDesign cross-document Text Anchor Hyperlinks so that when the files are moved, they remain active?

Convert text in PDF to editable field in Reader

Hi,
Is there a way in Acrobat Pro to convert text in the PDF to an editable field so that someone opening the PDF in Reader would be able to amend the text. Or do you actually have to make the text in Acrobat?
Thanks for any help,
Jackie

It can probably be achieved with a script, but if you only need to do it once, I think doing it manually is the best way to go.

Can anybody help me with the logic to convert the text msg to xml paylod using adapter frame work APIs or is there any way I can debug and test my logic in NWDS.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi ,
To convert Text message to XML why yiu want to go for Adapter Module?? Using file content conversion it self you can do it right?????
There is no standard logic to convert text file to XML, the logic purely depends on your text message format.

Change color of compoundPathItems created by converting Text to Paths using createOutline()

I used createOutline() to convert Text to Paths. However, the return is a GroupItem and I had difficulty in changing its stroke and fill colors.
Here is my script:
var docActive = app.documents.add();
var textFrame = docActive.pathItems.rectangle( 0, 0, 200, 20);
var areaText = docActive.textFrames.areaText(textFrame);
areaText.contents = "Hello My Friend";
areaText.textRange.characterAttributes.size = Math.round(20*0.85);
var textOutline = areaText.createOutline();
// Trying to change stroke and fill colors of textOutline but got stuck here...

try this, I added comments next to each line
var docActive = app.documents.add();
var textFrame = docActive.pathItems.rectangle( 0, 0, 200, 20);
var areaText = docActive.textFrames.areaText(textFrame);
areaText.contents = "Hello My Friend";
areaText.textRange.characterAttributes.size = Math.round(20*0.85);
var textOutline = areaText.createOutline(); // this is a group
var compoundPaths = textOutline.compoundPathItems; // each letter is a compound path
for (i=0; i<compoundPaths.length; i++) {    // loop thru all letters
    var compoundPath = compoundPaths[i];    // this holds one letter at a time
    var pathItems = compoundPath.pathItems; // all pieces (pathItems) of the compound path make up each letter
    for (j=0; j< pathItems.length; j++) {   // loop thru all letter parts
        var pathItem = pathItems[j];            // this holds one letter piece at a time
        pathItem.fillColor = docActive.swatches[5].color;       // fill it with the 5th swatch
        pathItem.strokeColor = docActive.swatches[4].color; // stroke it with the 4th swatch
