Create destinations for pdf file

I would like to create in Frame a destination that appears in the pdf as a destination, I would think this would work:
but in the pdf file, it doesn't appear, is there another way? Are my settings correct?

FM adds a prefix to the named destination in order to make the destinations absolutely unique. Depending upon whether the file is part of a book or a single file, the exact string will vary. For a standalone file, it will be "M8.newlink.<your newlink text, e.g. target_device>" or if it's part of a book, "M1.8.newlink.target_device> where th digit after the "M" refers to the files position in the book.
You either have to add the prefix to the PDF links that you manually want to create in other applications that target the PDF you're creating or use Shlomo Perets' TimeSavers (see: FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers ) to have the prefix stripped.

How to create link for pdf file in discoverer worksheet

Hi All,
I would like to create a link for pdf file into discoverer report (worksheet).
So that i can open linked pdf file using worksheet link.
Can any one tell me about this?
Thanks
Ravi

Hi,
I think the best way to do this is to use a database directory so that you can access your pdf file as a bfile. Then create a mod_plsql procedure that sets the mime type and downloads the pdf file. You then create a calculation in the EUL then returns the URL to your mod_plsql procedure. You can then include this calculation as a hyperlink in your worksheet.
It is not as difficult as it sounds. Please let me know if you need anymore details.

How do I create an interactive PDF file with variable data

We would like to basically do a 'mail merge' of our list of customers with an interactive PDF file (including videos, menus, etc - not just form fill out and web links) to create a single PDF file that contains multiple mail pieces ... one for each customer ... with each mail piece being customized for that customer. Customizations would include different greetings (Dear Bob, Dear Dana, etc), as well as different charts based on data unique to the customer, different photographs, etc.
I've seen that InDesign and Acrobat Professional can be used to create an interactive PDF (such as from http://tv.adobe.com/watch/ask-the-adobe-ones/14-calling-rufus-about-interactive-pdf-making). However I don't understand how I can insert data from a database, csv file, excel file etc into the PDF file so that each page, or each set of pages, within the PDF can be customized.
Can anyone point me to a tool to use for this?
Thanks,
Bob Kendall

For that kind of volume and unattended operation, you want InDesign Server – which is the server/high volume edition of INDD.

Why would you say that LiveCycle is the only thing to recommend (but isn't available for Macs) then bring up InDesign?
If it can't be done by the Mac OS (she hasn't mentioned what she has) then it can be done with Acrobat. She asked about a program to create PDF files. That's pretty much what Acrobat does.
where is whatI said.
Being That LiveCycle designer is not availble for Mac. That would be about the only thing to recommend. InDesign Maybe but more pricey.
The part I've underline refers to Acrobat. InDesign Maybe but more pricey referes to, Indesign being more expensive than Acrobat.

Data Merge naming for PDF files

I have an Indesign document with data merge information on it.
I can successfully get it to create either a multipage document or multipage PDF.
I now want to name each PDF page with one of my field names and create single named PDF files from the original multipage PDF.
I am using a mac, but unfortunately know nothing about scripting.
I have searched the forums for a script but can't seem to find what I may need.
Could anyone possibly help please.
Many Thanks.

Hi Pete,
Unfortunately it is not possible to stop these quotes coming out, unless you remove the DataFile object (but if you do that you will also lose the SIZE, REUSE and AUTOEXTEND clauses).
I have logged a bug on this. Thanks for letting us know about this problem.

PDF download worked in FFox3 but not in 4. Do I have to wait for a new plug in for PDF files?

I was downloading monthly statements from mutual fund firms. Firefox 4.0 worked fine with the T Rowe Price web site (they must not do anything tricky), but does not work with Fidelity. Firefox doesn't seem to recognize that what Fidelity is offering is really a PDF file. I tested the same action with my same computer and Safari as the browser which worked fine, and I tested the same action with my same computer and Firefox 3.6.16 and it, too, worked fine. Your help screen for PDF files suggest I download "Firefox PDF plugin extension" but when I get there, it says a version for FFox 4 is not available. I probably have that added to my 3.6.16 version and that's why it works there. So I guess I just have to use a different browser until that plugin is available. But it is another puzzle why TRowePrice makes it work with 4.0 and Fidelity doesn't.
Do you have a better suggestion than "just wait" ?

I have never herd of Verizon adding an additional account especially since new account required both a credit check and your signature. Anyway this is a customer to customer forum so I'm not sure how you expect other customers to help you.

I installed pdf reader on my windows 8 laptop, but windows only opens with its "TWINUI". In its "other" option acrobat reader doesn't appear. It also doesn't appear on the windows desktop.

In the product/app Adobe Acrobat reader mobile.it would be good to have layer support working for pdf files.

? How do you change default for .pdf files from Reader 6 to reader 9

I cannot change the default for .pdf files from reader 6 to reader 9. Also I cannot remove reader 6. I am running Vista

Normally, completely removing old versions and reinstalling the latest version will reassociate all applicable extensions for the program, but it appears to have failed in your case. There may be something else going on with your machine that is producing this behavior. You probably need to investigate that. But what you can do to make sure the defaults are correct is click on the start orb and select 'Default Programs.' Then select 'Associate a file type or protocol with a program.' From the list of file types, select each of the following in turn: acrobatsecuritysettings, fdf, pdf, pdfxml, pdx, xdp, and xfdf. If its default program is not Adobe Reader, click on the Change Program button and select Acrobat Reader from the list (you may need to expand the lower section to display more programs than it initially provides). If Adobe Reader does not show up in the list, you will have to browse for it. It should be located in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10\Reader\AcroRd32.exe or C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10\Reader\AcroRd32.exe.
This method is safer than manually editing the Root\Classes in the registry.

Color Display for PDF Files Creative Cloud in Browser View

I have noticed that there is a great difference in color display between a PDF and .ai/eps files. When viewed in the browser there seems to be no ICC taking affect for PDF files even though options to include the profiles, etc in output were selected. This makes it hard to use as a tool when showing clients proofs via the browser as they will never see proper color. I know color will vary between monitors but the difference is huge for some colors. Like a dark almost Navy Blue appearing like a vibrant pen ink blue. On a Mac when you use the quick spacebar preview the correct color shows for all versions of file type but in the browsers it shows the color incorrectly. Have tried this so far on the Mac in in Safari, Chrome and Firefox. Even Google Drive can display all the file types correctly with correct color although the way it shows eps files is a bit off. That I don't mind as I rarely save eps files anymore.
Is there something I am missing or is this a defect in the browser display?
The other possible option would be to flip my thinking and save everything as .ai files with PDF compatibility turned on and then have to tell clients that they should be able to open that ai file in Acrobat. At the moment I save everything as PDF files with Illustrator compatibility turned on.

Can anyone throw light on this. I'm facing same problem.

[GNOME], [Firefox] (still) defaults to GIMP for PDF files

I've installed Arch Linux with GNOME twice this past year, on both i686 and x86-64 systems. Both times, I've installed GNOME with it's default PDF reader, Evince, as well as GIMP for image editing (of course). Firefox, regardless of my preferences in Nautilus, only gives me the option of opening PDF files in GIMP (as opposed to saving them). If I save the file and open it from the downloads window, it opens in GIMP, but if I download it and then open it directly in Nautilus, then it opens in Evince without any problems. Of course, I could work around this and simply add /usr/bin/evince to the list of programs for PDF files, but I would have to do this for every single user that I add before Firefox is reasonably usable for downloading PDFs.
There was a thread on this a while ago, but it's closed now so I can't add to it. This is still a problem in 2011 and before I report this as a bug anywhere, we'd have to figure out the exact cause of the problem: is it GNOME, GIMP, Firefox, or something else entirely that causes this? How could I fix this so I don't have to use a messy workaround?
Oh, also, after installing GIMP, it's treated as the default application for PDF files regardless of GNOME's default preferences. Evince is listed but GIMP "hijacks" it in a sense. This is fixable in Nautilus easily, but it shouldn't have to be a necessary step.

I never knew that about GNOME. Mimeopen did fix the problem for me. Thanks very much!

I dont know if this is what your talking about but..

I mentioned that I tried this and it works fine, but I don't want to have to do that workaround on every single account I make. The workaround suggested, as I said, works well enough.
So if I understand this correctly, this is a Firefox bug?

Firefox 17.0 for Mac OS X missing Preferences- Applications- Preview Doc (application/PDF) entry to set behavior for PDF files

I want to set Firefox to automatically download or save a PDF without the panel coming up to ask me. However, when I go to Firefox->Preferences->Applications there is no entry for PDF files to set it to open or save the file without asking me (i.e., no Preview Document (application/PDF).
I am using Firefox 17.0 with Mac OS X 10.6.8 using Intel Core 2 Duo

I have .pdf associated with Preview. The issue is that in Firefox->Preferences-> Application tab does NOT contain an entry for Preview Document ((application/PDF) which is needed to do an association that will occur automatically every time Firefox encounters a doc of that type. (the application tab has Preview Document (image/<6 types>) but no entry for the PDF format.
