Creating Blue underlined Hyperlinks

I seem to understand the process of creating a hyperlink but I am having difficulties with the hyperlink appearing in either the InDesign document itself or the resulting pdf output with the right appearance. My hyperlinks work in the PDF document but they lack the blue underline associated with an active link. My options seem to Visible Rectangle or Invisible Rectangle. When selecting Visible Rectangle, I can't find any options other than Invert, Outline or Inset. Am I missing something real obvious here? (CS4 and CS5 are both problematic on this issue)

Hi Bob,
You will need to style your links in InDesign. You can do this relatively quickly by creating a character style which is blue with underline and then running a GREP find and replace to find all web links. See http://indesignsecrets.com/forum/general-indesign-topics/shortest-grep-pattern-to-address- urls-and-e-mail-addresses for some help. You can set the replace to your new character style.

  • Hyperlink showing blue underline with white type

    I have a website that has two hyperlinks on the home page of my site. The one links to a webpage the other to a downloadable pdf. Both have white type and are supposed to have a white underline. The link that links to the webpage is correct but the one that links to a pdf keeps showing as white type with a blue underline. I have tried copy and pasting from the correct one but as soon as I link to the pdf instead of a hyperlink it goes to a blue underline again. Note it only changes the underline blue.... I can change the type to white again easily. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

    Hi,
    In the authorization form area, you appear to have two links: a text hyperlink to http://www.therecordsco.com/assets/trc-authorization-form.pdf as well as a text frame hyperlink to https://ipn.intuit.com/pay/TheRecordsCompany. I am guessing the latter was unintentional. Could you select the Authorization Form text frame (not the contained text, but the frame itself), delete this hyperlink and try again?
    Thanks,

  • Underlined and not-underlined Hyperlinks

    I want that most of my Hyperlinks are underlined (so I said this in the Stylesheet)
    But there are some which should not be underlined
    It´s possible to make them not-underlined with the little T - Symbole, but in the created chm its again underlined...
    Hope you can help me, seems I´m too stupid to do this on my own...

    Hi,
    The best solution is to use css. If one day you decide all your not-underlined hyperlinks should actually be underlined and need to be bright pink, you're in for some work. With styles, it's much easier. This will however, involve some manual css and html.
    In your stylesheet, add the following line (behind any other hyperlink styles):
    a.regular { text-decoration: none; }
    All hyperlinks with the class regular will not be underlined anymore. In your topic, go to the hyperlink that should not be underlined and go to html view. The links looks like this: My link. Now add class=”regular” to the link, so it looks like this:
    My link
    Whenever you feel you want the links to have a different style (such as bright pink), simply change the css to adjust all your links at once.

    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have.

Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

  • How to create a dynamic hyperlink which point to a BLOB column

    Hello,
    I am fighting with the issue for about 2 days.
    My purpose is to use Oracle Report Builder to build a report of our employee directory which contains employee's information and also employee's picture. The requirement is that our report is going to generate a html file to our web server. By creating a dynamic hyperlink to the Employee's name in the report output file (the html file generated to our web server), it should then display the corresponding employee's picture which is a BLOB column stored in our oracle database.
    I only can create the hyperlink for the employee's name if the link is static, like 'http://www.google.com
    But from the Oracle Reports 10g Release2 (10.1.2), about the exmaple 1: Dynamic hyperlink, I refered the link
    http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/reports/10.1.2/state/content/navId.3/navSetId._/vtTopicFile.htmlhelp_rwbuild_hs%7Crwcontxt%7Cprops%7Cpi_lay_hyperlink%7Ehtm/
    The link gave he following example shows a value for the Hyperlink property that specifies a link to a destination identified dynamically:
    'DEPT_DETAILS_' || LTRIM(TO_CHAR(:DEPTNO))
    where :DEPTNO is a column value retrieved from the database at runtime.
    I tried as the same way to want it dynamcially shows the column :EMP_PHTOT, which is one BLOB column, but it was failed.
    Anyone knows how to implement this? Any inputs is appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Jing

    How can I create an internal hyperlink in iWeb? Would like to put an interactive menu at the top of a page.

    Do you meant a link to one of your other pages or to a location on one of your pages?  If it's the latter those are called anchors and iWeb does not support them.  However, there are workarounds for that.  See this blog: How to use anchors in iWeb.  If you don't have a lot of widgets on the page it can work fairly well.

  • How to create a clickable hyperlink in iCloud Numbers?

    How to create a clickable hyperlink in iCloud Numbers?

    There is no such thing. All you could do is create an HTML e-mail, but many users won't even view it in that mode for security reasons and it may get filtered. Similarly, Flash-based content may get removed/ not show up. So at best, if you really want to get a clickable document, you could use a PDF file containing a link. but did i mention that the user can suppress those, too? Well, sorry, but you are SOL. You want something that for a million reasons nobodyy can give you. The best you can do, as always, is host your content on a proper website and send peopel a link to it...

  • How do I turn OFF blue underlining in iMessage?

    How do I disable the blue underlining when I dictate a message on my iPhone (iOS 8.2)? I have never had this feature before and it just started. I know what happened – I was in iMessage and I was frustrated because I could not get the control center to come up. So I swiped up a bunch of times (like 20) in frustration to try to get it to come up. The control center did not come up, but I did somehow manage to turn on predictive text and the blue underlining. I turned off predictive text in Settings, but how do I turn off the blue underlining? Thanks.

  • Can I get rid of the underlined hyperlink and just have roll-over links?

    In iWeb 2009, can I get rid of the underlined hyperlink and just have roll-over links?

    You have to put them on the server where you are publishing your site to. Where are you hosting your site? If it's a MobileMe account then you have two options:
    1 - put the photos in a folder, name it "Pics" and put that folder in your iDisk/Pictures folder. Then use the following URL: http://homepage.mac.com/YourMMe_Account_Name/.Pictures/Pic/FileName (don't forget the period before Pictures).
    2 - put the "Pics" folder with image files in your iDisk/Web/Sites folder and use the following URL: http://web.me.com/YourMMe_Account_Name/FileName.
    If you're hosting on a 3rd party server it would depend on if you're using a domain name or not. I'm not familiar with 3rd party servers so Wyodor, Ethmoid or someone that is will need to point the way.

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • How to create Blu-Ray from previous files?

    Back in November of 2010 thefifthlion posted a similar question, but the thread was archived so I could not post a follow up in that same thread.
    My question is similar:  how to create a Blu-Ray from previous Compressor files.  His answer was to create a disc image by selecting "Hard Drive" from the Output Device pop up menu.  Then use Toast or Disc Utility to burn the copies.  Fine, but here's my revised question to that:
    Compressor just spent nearly 20 hours compressing a 2+ hour video with "Create Blu-Ray" selected for the When Job Completes.  Before it completed the Blu-Ray burner apparently fell asleep or went offline somehow because the computer wouldn't recognize the drive by the time Compressor was done.  So I had no choice but to selct "Cancel Burn" and stop the process, restart the computer, and get the Blu-Ray burner back online.
    You probably know where I'm going with this.  I now have two files on my desktop - the video and the audio file created of the project from Compressor.  BUT WHAT CAN I DO WITH THOSE FILES NOW?  Needless to say I don't want to go through the entire 20 hour process again - only to have the same thing happen with the burner drive.  As per the below paragraph (copied from thefifthlion's original post in November) is this the best way to burn Blu-Rays in Compressor?  Always create a disc image rather than burn right away... and then use a third party burner like Toast 10 or Disc Utility to burn the disc?  I can't believe Compressor doesn't have an option to open the project again and burn a Blu-Ray straight away.
    > Output Device pop-up menu: Use this pop-up menu to choose the device to format to. The pop-up menu displays a list of your system’s suitable output devices, including optical drives and the computer’s hard disk. Each device also includes the words Blu-ray or AVCHD to indicate which type of disc it creates. Choose Hard Drive to create a disk image (.img) file that you can burn to Blu-ray Disc media at a later time using the Disk Utility application (available in the Utilities folder). Other settings may change depending on the device you choose.
    Thanks very much for any feedback.
    Eric

    Follow up question:
    I went through the process again (approx 20 hours!! ) and this time made the video a disc image.  I don't have Toast (though I think it might be time to get it) but I keep reading that Disc Utility can burn a Blu Ray using that disc image.  So, I went through another multi hour process to burn that 20+ gig file onto a Blu Ray, but it appears that it didn't burn it as a playable disc, rather, more like it put the file on the disc as data files.  All the info is there, 20 some gigs, I can see all the files, but the disc doesn't play.
    Now I apologize if it's a silly question if it's known that you can't make a playable blu ray with Disc Utility, but I don't know either way, that's just what I've read and this is the first time I've tried it. 
    Soooooooo, if I always make a disc image, should I just get Toast and use that to make the blu ray?
    By the way, a brief update:  the whole reason this thread came up was because my Pioneer blur ray burner goes offline (sleep) after an hour or so and doesn't come back or wake up.  So with a long processing time in Compressor the drive goes offline and then can't burn the disc, so I lose that whole session.  Turns out that Pioneer (by their own admission) is not made to be fully compatible with Macs!!  In particular Mac Pros.  I took that drive out and replaced it with an LG.  Haven't tested it yet but I'm looking forward to it.

  • Problems creating Blu Ray Discs with AME Presets in CS4

    After several weeks wasted (months back) with an ATI 5750 graphics card in Win 7/and CS4 (not working correctly) - I finally resolved by swapping with a NVidia GTS250 card .....but all my troubles are not over yet ....
    I'm running Premiere CS4 and have finally just got down to testing creation of a Blu Ray test disc from some AVCHD 1920x1080 HD footage I am editing from my new camera.
    My work in CS4 is just testing at present as I used to use CS3 [still have on my dual core machine with Matrox RTX2]  - and have successfully created Blu Ray discs from HDV material in CS3 - but using Blu Ray MPEG 2 settings.
    New machine Win 7 - 64 bit
    Premiere CS4 is at 4-2-0 version
    Encore at 4-0-1 version
    These are the last updates
    I've selected a short test piece (about 2 mins)on Premiere timeline and initially tried Media export using Adobe Media encoder.
    I selected H264 BluRay codec in media encoder. Hi quality 1080 25 fps.(PAL)
    This creates dual MP4 Video and Audio streams
    Encode process goes OK, just slightly slower than real time, (I'm using i7-930 Quad Core and Win 7 64 Bit)
    Now - when I come to input the encoded video file into Encore as an Asset - Encore freezes and the whole machine locks up !!!
    Audio file imports OK but the Encore software does not like the encoded Video file
    I've re-installed Premiere and Encore twice in case of bad install. It wasn't that.
    I also found Adobe Media player couldn't play the file created by AME either - but it would play on a Premiere timeline?
    So is Adobe Media encoder messing up here ?
    So - .....3 hours of testing later ....I stumble on a Support thread from someone on the Forum that they found AME preset has "HIGH" in the Encoding Profile Preset - when it should be MAIN ?.
    Not sure what these settings do - but tried changing that parameter and re-encoded the Video file with H264 BluRay setting - all to no avail as when I try importing again the machne just locks up ?
    My final search in Premiere help file about creating BluRay discs ONLY talks about using MPEG 2 BluRay setting for creating BluRay discs
    It does not specify H264. Why is that?
    Can one of the moderators / experts confirm if H264 Blu ray format  is supported for BluRay disc creation in CS4 please??
    Better still please tell me the exact settings for Adobe Media encoder so it will import into Encore without having to be transcoded again.
    H264 should work - yes ?
    Final comment
    As an alternative method, I tried sending the short timeline in Premiere (using Dynamic Link)  to Encore to test that route for making a BluRay disc
    Bearing in mind the sequence is only about 2 mins long - when I ty to Transcode using the engine within Encore - the process takes a ridiculously long time and twice it has crashed just before the end of the process......
    Can someone explain why the encode process in Encore takes such a long time as I thought it used the Adobe Media encoder engine as well.?
    Adobe Media Encoder is much faster used stand alone mode.
    Encore seems to not use that ?
    Anyway - conclusion is that using Encore to encode the tmeline is a non starter as it takes too long.
    why so slow  on such a fast machine?....I know HD encoding is demanding but not that demanding with a decent machine.
    So the question is ....
    How do I encode in the most efficient and fastest way possible (using H264)  for Blu Ray authoring into Encore without need for more Transcodes?
    Any help or suggestions welcome as I'm now hitting my head against the wall :-)
    I have not gone through Adobe Support desk as it is usually a waste of time.{Dear VP of Adobe Customer Service - please do get this sorted out in the near future  if you want to retain loyal customers....}
    I cannot believe how disappointing  CS4 is turning out to be.
    After investing in a very fast PC machine etc the whole user experience is somewhat of a let down.
    Why so many issues for such a small test??

    Picking up on my original post about H264 - as I have a dual boot machine I also have a clean  installed Win 7 /64bit partition which I use for general bits of work.
    On that I have CyberPowerDVD SW installed which plays all Video files fine including BluRay material etc.
    Interestingly when I try to play the file that AME has created from the BluRay H264 preset it says 'It cannot play the file as it is a format it does not recognise...'
    This is really weird and would suggest AME is not encoding the file corrrectly??
    I have already removed and made a re-install of CS4 on my main [video editing] partition but there were some fragments of CS4 left intact
    How do I completely remove everything?
    I tried the CS4 clean script but it said it relied on Microsoft CLean Up utility and gave a link
    When I loooked on Microsoft web site the link to download it had been removed?
    Also Adobe say the CS4 remove script is no longer supported ?
    Can anyone advise on the correct tool/procedure to completely remove CS4 from a Win 7/64bit installation so I can then try re-install of CS4 one more time....in case the installation is corrupt in some way
    I can't explain why I am having this problem otherwise if other people find AME encodes OK with H264 BluRay preset.
