Creating Hyper-Links in Acrobat Pro 8

Good Day;
I am somewhat new at this so please forgive me if this question has been asked before.
I am running Acrobat 8 pro and I am designing some forms. One of the things I want to do is imbed a hyper-link in some of the text. This hyper link will take the user to the documentation on a webpage.
I have created a form using LiveCycle Designer 8 (part of Adobe Acrobat 8 pro not LiveCycle ES). Within this application there does not appear to be a way to create the hyper-links. I then opened the form in Acrobat 8 pro and the link tool is not available.
Is there a way to create a hyper-link in the form?
I hope I have explained this correctly

If you created the form using Designer, you must make any edits in Designer and not Acrobat.

  • How to create hyper link to normal table field in webdynpro ABAP

    HI Experts,
    I am working on one Webdynpro Application where I am displaying Vendor information in normal table.
    But I wanted to make LIFNR field of the table as Hyper Link and when I click on that particular LIFNR  I wanted navigate that to XK03 transaction. Please help me out from this...
    When I searched in SDN I am geeting examples to create Hyper Links in ALV but I wanted to create that for normal table field.
    Thanks
    Basanagouda

    Hi,
    As you kept the Link to action.. Go to the Outline of the view and navigate to the to the newly inserted Link to action UI element in the View. Now see the properties window. In the properties you will find the category Events and in this you will have OnAction. You can create a new on action by clikcing on the button which is next to the input filed.
    This will create a method and in this implementaion you can write the logic to navigate to the Transaction.

  • Creating multiple links in Acrobat

    Is it possible to create a link in Acrobat to more than one file i.e. when the cursor hovers over the link, a list of 2 or more filenames can appear, each one clickable? I am using version 8.1.1 Professional in Windows on a PC.
    Thanks for any help or advice.

    You could get hold of John Deubert's book 'Extending Acrobat Forms with javascript' ISBN 0-321-17238-8.
    Although written for v5, most of it is still relevant, and certainly the chapter and examples that deal with this topic.
    If you search the web for 'Acumen Journal' you'll also find his website.

  • When creating a PDF in Acrobat Pro it seems to change my reference numbering system???

    I am trying to create a PDF file using Acrobat Pro trial version (before I buy it I need to know if it works for me).  The file I am using is a condensed version of a report so it has some of the tables/figures omitted and therefore the numbering sequence isn't sequential ie.  it can jump from Figure 9-2 to 9-4.  For some reason - when creating the PDF - the program is CHANGING the numbering system of the original file in the body of the document - but the Table of Contents keeps it how I had it.  HELP??!!!  How do I make it just create the PDF exactly how it is in the Word document file without automatically making any changes like that to it?!
    I have tried several ways to create the PDF - in Word - I tried doing it as a Print command, also in Word I tried doing it from there, also I tried creating it from a file right in Acrobat Pro.  I also tried "protecting" the document first - but this didn't work either.
    Thank you so much to anyone who can help!

    You might want to specify what kind of graphics are giving you problems.
    Frame drawings or imported files? If imported, what file type? RGB or
    CMYK? Any spot colors?
    The best graphics are EPS because FrameMaker passes them around the
    Windows GDI unchanged and EPS files can retain spot colors, too. Other
    types of graphics get passed through Windows GDI and converted to RGB
    where the result can sometimes be astounding. In Save as PDF, what's the
    setting for "Convert CMYK colors to RGB?"
    Check also "GetLibraryColorRGBFromCMYK=" in maker.ini and change it from
    "Printing" to
    "None". That seems to get the best results for having what you see on
    screen match what ends up in the PDF.
    There are also color management settings in your Distiller .joboptions
    file that can affect the result. Usually, you want to set Settings>Edit
    Adobe PDF Settings> Color> Color Management Policies to either "Leave
    Color Unchanged" or "Tag only Images for Color Management."

  • Create Accessible Forms in Acrobat Pro XI/Forms Central

    Hello FormCentral Development Team -
    I read a previous thread that FormsCentral does not create Accessible Forms (Section 508 or WCAG 2.0) and must be made accessible in Acrobat Pro XI by a series of steps in the software. However, when I tried to follow the instructions of 1)Adding Tags; 2) Setting langugage; 3) Document Structure, etc., all of these options are grayed out. I've inserted a scree shot on a test form created in FormCentral and opened in Acrobat Pro XI for remediate. What am I doing wrong?

    Use this FAQ on how to edit a FormsCentral PDF and then follow the steps to make the form accessible:  http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3661

  • Trouble initiating "Create"a scan with Acrobat Pro on Yosemite paired with XEROX 6015NI

    I am on Mac Yosemite, using Acrobat Pro, trying to initiate a scan through "Create" a document from scanner (Xerox 6015NI, newly installed). Acrobat allowed me to pick the scanner in the first dialogue window, but when I pressed "scan", a new dialogue box pops up and tells me it cannot find scanner and suggested there may be some address issues... How can I fix this? The Xerox documentation that came with the machine is limited at best...

    Hi,
    Did you try to remove the scanner manually from system preferences and then add the scanner again? does the error also occur when you use image-capture?

  • RE: creating email links on Acrobat...

    I know how to create a link in a PDF that will open up the viewer's email program w/ my address in teh send to bar...but nobody really uses email PROGRAMS anymore...it's all gmail, or yahoo, for example. Does anybody know a way to link to those kinds of email? Or maybe a better solution would be to link to something like Evite? Anybody have a good solution?

    Do you mean nobody uses outlook, thunderbird, ... ?

  • How to create interactive PDF in Acrobat Pro 11 from Indesign 6 on a Mac and keep all interactivity?

    I've seen much discussion on this topic or issue.
    I have a 175 page doucment that needs an active TOC, urls that link, buttons that "go back to TOC" on each page and "to next page - to previous page". You can only see the functions properly in Acrobat Reader.
    What's up with that? That doesn't work for my deverse client base.
    Is it because this was a file originally created in ID 5? I ask because I have since created a new file, exactly the same way with the same interactive attributes as the file that doesn't work and it works fine.
    Is my file too many pages for Acrobat to handle?
    Please help, my contract depends on this file working.

    What you're asking for is perfectly achievable, but it won't work universally. The page count is immaterial.
    Table of Contents entries created in InDesign are automatically converted into links when exported to PDF, provided the hyperlinks option on the PDF export dialog has been checked. They should work fine in any desktop software.
    Buttons which link to a fixed page and 'next page/previous page' buttons created in InDesign will use a link method that requires JavaScript - this is fully-supported in the Acrobat Family on desktop platforms, but third-party renderers such as Firefox's internal viewer, and mobile PDF apps, have little or no support for scripting.

  • I am trying to create a form in acrobat pro 8 and it can't be filled in in reader 9

    When I open the form in reader, it says it is a pdf/a file.and the form fields do not show up unless I go to edit/preferences in reader and tell it to never view documents in pfd/a mode.  I am putting this document on my website for users to fill out, and don't want them to have to do that.  How do I create the form that is not a pdf/a document?  I have been messing around with this for a day and have not been successfull.  I have an old document from last year that apparently is not a pdf/a document and it works fine.  I cannot make this year's document open correctly in reader 9.  http://www.houseofsweden.us/docs/DecNightsSignUps2009.pdf  This is a very simple form created from a word document.

    When originally creating the pdf, you would need to choose another pdf conversion setting. In Word if you use the pdf menu, change your settings there: Adobe PDF > Change Conversion Settings. I would use High Quality Print instead. If you use the File > Print method, click the Properties button next to the Adobe PDF printer selection.
    For your already created form, you can change the file so your users will not encounter issues. In Acrobat 9, which hopefully is similar in process to 8: Advanced > Preflight > Profile tab > PDF/A compliance > Remove PDF/A information.(You'll have to unsecure your form first).
    You can read about PDF/A files in the Help.

  • Removing Links in Acrobat Pro

    I have been given a document that has a bunch of links to other pages in the document. (Not URL links to web pages.)
    I want to remove all the links, and hopefully, change the color of the links back to black text.
    I have tried going to Advanced and selecting "remove All Links" but it gives me the message that "0 links" have been removed.
    Can I make them go away another way
    Thanks!

    Those are probably temporary links that appear due to the "Edit > Preferences > General > Create links from URLs" preference setting. You can turn this off, but you cannot control what happens on other user's machines. Regarding the text color, you should change this in the source document before converting to PDF. If you did not create the document, you can change the text color with the TouchUp Text tool, but this might be a lot of work.

  • How to create hyper links on JFrame????????

    Hi,
    I have a Jframe. I need to display a website by creating hyperlink(URL) on my JFrame. Could u anyone help plzzzz..

    try this
    first create html frame with JEditorPane
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.io.*;
    import java.net.*;
    public class HtmlFrame
      public static void main(String args[])
        JEditorPane editorPane = new JEditorPane();
        editorPane.setEditable(false);
        URL url = null;
        try
           url = new File("the rquested address").toURL() ;     
         catch (Exception e)
           System.out.println(e);
         try      
           editorPane.setPage(url);     
         catch (IOException e)
           System.err.println("Attempted to read a bad URL: " + url);
         JFrame f = new JFrame();     
         f.getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(editorPane) );     
         f.pack();     
         f.show();
    second For enabling Hyperlinks, add a addHyperlinkListener to the pane and override hyperlinkUpdate(HyperlinkEvent event) method. In that method u can update the url of the pane.
    import javax.swing.event
    class class Hyperactive implements HyperlinkListener
      public void hyperlinkUpdate(HyperlinkEvent event)
        Object object = event.getSource();
        if (object == jed)
        jEditorPane_hyperlinkUpdate(event);
    void jEditorPane_hyperlinkUpdate(javax.swing.event.HyperlinkEvent event)
      if(event.getEventType() == HyperlinkEvent.EventType.ACTIVATED)
        loadPage(event.getURL());
    void loadPage(String page)
      try
        loadPage(new URL(page));
      catch(Exception e)
        e.printStackTrace();
    void loadPage(URL page)
      Cursor c = jed.getCursor();
      SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new PageLoader(page, c));
    class PageLoader implements Runnable
      Cursor origCursor;
      URL url;
      public PageLoader(URL u, Cursor c)
        url=u;
        origCursor = c;
      public void run()
        if(url==null)
          jed.getParent().repaint();
          return;
        Document doc = jed.getDocument();
        try
          jed.setPage(url);
        catch(Exception e)
          jed.setDocument(doc);
        finally
          url=null;
          SwingUtilities.invokeLater(this);
    }Hope this helps.
