Creating a pdf link instead of html

i want to ensure i have a pdf of web pages i wrote rather than just a link to the existing website -- that way, when/if the website goes down, there is still record of my work -- how do you create this?

If you keep a backup copy of the domain file that you use to create your website on an external volume like a flash drive or external HD that's all you need to assure you will be able to recreate the website in case the hosting server crashes or your Mac crashes.
The file is named Domain.sites and is located in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. That's the key item for your website.

Make ie7 save pdf link instead of open (acrobat8)

hi, when you click a pdf link in ie7 there seems to be only 2 options: either open the pdf in browser window or open pdf in acrobat.
how can you make the ie7 ask to save the pdf file instead of automatically opening it?

That would be a feature of the browser or the HTML code used. I am not sure how to set that, or if it can be set. Acrobat will open if requested, but you are asking the browser to save rather than to open. Thus for what you want Acrobat or the plugin would not even be called.
If you are looking for it in your own browser, the look for browser options. If you are trying to do it with HTML for other users, then you need to consult an HTML manual. You might be able to set a button to save with some JAVAscript. Keep in mind that if that is what you are looking for, most folks like to be asked before you start saving to their machine.

How can i make the report previewer show a PDF file instead of HTML?

Hi there,
i made a report which can be called within a form by a button. This report is a PDF-report.
I also have an option in the application to start the report from the menu. Then i get the Launch Report Form by Headstart. Here i can fill in for Desformat (in the options) PDF and Output to PREVIEW. Still it generates me a HTML report in my browser. How can i make it work so that the PREVIEWER will show me a PDF-report instead of the HTML?
Kind regards,
Dave

You can not use PREVIEW as output type in webbased forms/reports. Try using as output type CACHE or FILE.

Problem Creating Internal pdf Links In Preview

I am trying to create internal links in a pdf file within Preview. When I "Set Destination" to a particular page within the file, the link always goes to the page after the one I set. The strange thing is that when I view the same file on a Windows PC it works right. Any ideas how to fix?

Did you ever find out why this happens? I am having the same problem and so is another mac user I know. We can't figure it out!

Problem Creating an Image Link within an html snippet?

Hi,
For some reason I have been unable to link to an image on my Mac by using <img src within an html snippet.
I have uploaded the photo to my server and created a link with <img src "http://www.domain.com/image.jpg" />.
However, when I try linking to the image like this - <img src "Users:Documents:Photos:image.jpg" />, when I click apply on the html snippet all I get is a blue dot with a question mark and I have checked that the image is in my Documents and then Photos folder and it is. When I link to it with the server the photo shows.
Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?
I would appreciate some help, as I have tried various combinations to link and nothing seems to be working except linking directly from my server and I don't really want to do this at the moment.
Thanks

Thanks for that and I did use correct syntax in the html snippet - it was a typo here.
I did as you suggested and dragged the photo into the Safari browser, after placing the photo on the desktop and it gave me the file name and that showed as file:///Users/My username/Desktop/Image.jpg, so I tried this in my html snippet and did it as so:
It is still not working for some reason and when I click apply, the photo shows up as a blue square with a question mark in it, although I know the photo is there.
Why is this? I followed the path, yet when I link to the photo on the server with it works perfectly everytime.
Thanks

Excel VBA add-in to create a PDF: What is acrodistdll.dll?

My Excel VBA add-in prints an Excel sheet with a list of drawing numbers, then prints all the drawings (it communicates with a CAD and a CAM application via COM). Then it repeats the cycle many times, with different list of drawings. At the end I have hundreds or thousands of paper sheets.
I want to create a PDF file instead of wasting that much paper, so I explored the Adobe objects available in my computer and I found out that adding a reference in the VBA project to Acrobat.dll and to acrodistdll.dll I could use the PdfDistiller to convert PostScript files to PDF and the Acrobat.CAcroApp, Acrobat.CAcroPDDoc and Acrobat.CAcroPDDoc objects to merge many PDF files into one large PDF file. Then I use the external tool pdftk to create the bookmarks.
Everything works well on my computer, but when I try to use the Excel add-in on another computer the references are missing.
I don't know what was installed on my computer. The IT department said that some of our computers have no Adobe products, some have only free Adobe products, and some have some products that we purchased. But they don't know what purchased or free products were installed on my computer.
So my questions are:
Are the above mentioned DLLs the correct tool to achieve my goal?
If no, what is the best way?
If yes, how do I install them on the other computers? Are they part of some free product or are they part of a product that I need to purchase?
Thanks,
Stefano

Pdf links don't work for imported text

Hi.
I imported some common sections located in their own frame file into three different books.
I tried this by reference first because I want to make changes only once, to the actual file.
When I make a pdf, the toc links to the imported reference text don't work. Nor do links within the text to other locations in the text.
When I import by text, the links work. But import by text defeats the purpose of having one source for multiple books.
I appreciate any help on this.
Bibs

Unfortunately, cross-references in FM files imported by reference into other FM files ("text insets") are not converted to PDF links -- this applies to all versions of FrameMaker and Acrobat.
Limited workarounds are to (1) convert the text insets to regular text (on a temporary copy that is discarded after the PS/PDF is created; this can be automated using FrameScript) or (2) use hypertext links to create the PDF links (these are converted properly even when in a text inset).

External PDF links in Internet Explorer - PDF/A issue?

Hi,
I am having an issue with certain links within PDFs not working when the PDF is being viewed with IE. I have created external PDF links using the Go to a Page View linking feature within Acrobat and then opening an external PDF file and setting the link. The extrernal links work fine when viewing the PDFs within Acrobat, however when I view the PDFs within IE the external links do not work. I am running Acrobat 9.3 and IE 8.
I know there is an issue with PDF/A disabling external PDF links, is it possible that IE always displays PDFs in PDF/A mode, even though I have set PDF/A View Mode to never within Acrobat? Also, I do not remember this being an issue in earlier releases of Acrobat 9, however I am supporting a large group of people that have already updated to Acrobat 9.3 and would hate to have to roll them back. Any ideas as to a possible solution would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Howto create a dynamic link with current domain

We need to create a dynamic link on a html page in the portal.
The link should contain a dynamic part containing the domain where the CLIENT is in. It should look like this : http://mytool.windowsdomain.corp/tool where "windowsdomain.corp" is dynamic. Where could we get this information from?
Thanks!
Matthias

Hi Matthias,
you could paste something like this in a Custom JSP Component:
<script type="text/javascript">
     function getServerURL() {
          return top.document.location.protocol+"//"+top.document.location.host;
     function redirect(uri) {
          try {
               top.location.href=uri;
          } catch (e) {
            //unfortunately this is not triggered in IE - only in mozilla
               alert("No valid Redirection-URL could be generated. Please contact your Administrator.");
    redirect(getServerURL()+'/tool'+top.document.location.search);
</script>

HTML links from Full Check Accessibility report do not open the corresponding PDF links

I regularly generate full Check accessibility reports for the PDF user guides I create in MSWord. However, when I click the links in the HTML file/report generated, they are supposed to link/highlight the corresponding errors in the PDf file. Instead, I get an error message that "There was an error opening this document. Bad parameters."
How can I get the links to work so I know which section in my PDF has the error (inaccessible items).
Thanks

I understand you are creating HTML reports and then using them to find errors/view the PDFs.
Is this a new problem or have you always had problems with the links? If it's a new problem, what has changed on your system?
Can you view other PDFs in your browser?
Have you moved any of the files since you created the report -- as you may know the HTML report references a specific lcoation on your hard drive and if you moved the PDF after creating the report, it may not be able to find the file.

Need to create a pdf on click of link

My requirement is to create a PDF file with some fixed amount of information being displayed in the PDF, on the click of a link...
Currently,ive created links on first column of table, and on click of which, a new page opens up (usnig factory method), i even pass parameter to the page. Now instead of a .htm file, i want a pdf file. How can i achieve this? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
By triggering some events, you can display a PDF file. Use the below piece of code for you requirement.
In the triggering event,
write the code for the smartform data to be displayed.
Ex: EXPORT <structure1> FROM <structure1>
      TO MEMORY ID '<Memory>'.
CALL METHOD current_activity_object->process_document
        EXPORTING
          channel = '<Event ID>'
        IMPORTING
          document = lv_document.

How can I make multiple PDF links open in the same second tab, instead of a 3rd, 4th etc.

I am working on a project for my Universities 125 year anniversary. Essentially I've created a 125 year long digital yearbook, with a link to the University's actual digital yearbook for each individual year. I'm wondering if there is a way that I can make all of the yearbook links open in the same second page.
IE: Main Project open in a window, when I click the 1939 Yearbook pdf hyperlink, the 1939pdf will open in the second window. I then want to find a way so that after this, on the main page, I can click the 1940 yearbook pdf link and have the 1940 yearbook load on the second window, replacing the 1939pdf, instead of just opening the 1940pdf on a third new tab/window?
Note: I have all of the yearbook PDF's online and downloaded, so I can make the hyperlink send you to the site, or do a download style thing.
Thank for any help, and if anyone needs further information just ask me!

Hi
Please take a look to this thread Re: Can I refresh the browser rather than open a new tab?

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,
Judith Wallace

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...

Create accessible pdf from html pages dynamically

Hello,
I am trying to create a 508 compliant Pdf from a simple HTML page using the HTML to Pdf feature in Livecycle ES4 server. I was able to configure the service to generate tabbed Pdf, but the created Pdf has multiple accessibility issues.
Some of the issues encountered are: incorrect tab order, some links are not tabbable while others are, link text is being read “Blank”, some text is skipped while tabbing, missing alt text for images, page being rendered in the responsive(mobile) view, etc.
I have tried both the available approaches, of 1) providing a URL to create the PDF, and 2) to send the html document as a zipped file, with same results.
Attached is a sample PDF generated from a simple HTML page I created for demo.
My questions are:
Is it possible to generate 508 compliant (accessible) Pdf documents using Html to Pdf service from Pdf Generator? If yes, which settings might I be missing?
Is there any other service provided by Adobe Livecycle Server that can generate 508 compliant Pdf documents from a 508 compliant HTML page?
Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Anup

I created a tool that does just that (only you will need to enter the page numbers as text, it does not work by selecting them):

I don't think it's possible to do this using a standard JavaScript script in Acrobat, since the newDoc function doesn't work with URLs.
The only option I can think of is to use an external automator that will call the Create PDF From Web Page dialog, paste the address from a file, and after the PDF file is created will continue to the next line.
I might be able to create such a tool for you. If you're interested, contact me by email (click my username for the address) or PM.
