Creating link to excel document within PDF portfolio

i created a pdf portfolio and created links to pdf documents within portfolio but am unable to create a link to the excel documents. I can't even create a link to direct them to a specific folder where the item is held. HELP, New to pdf portfolio's!

One option is to create a PDF from the Excel spreadsheet and link to that.
If you want to update the spreadsheet, you could create a Web Content overlay (or HTML article) that links to a Google spreadsheet. I've played around with linking to a Google presentation, and it works fine. You can update the spreadsheet/presentation on the website and the changes automatically appear in the overlay. I've just dabbled at it, so I wouldn't be much help with sizing/formatting issues.

URL to open an inner PDF within PDF portfolio

Can we open specific inner PDF within PDF portfolio by using URL, like http://www.myserver.com/files/myPDFportfolio.pdf?inner=adc.pdf ?
Imagine a PDF portfolio that includes following multiples files in it.
mytest.pdf
abc.pdf
test.xls
test2.doc
What I want to do is i) click the URL, ii) then open abc.pdf (reside in the PDF portfolio).
Also this URL can be dynamic so that I can create multiple URLs to open each inner files.
Any thoughts?
Thx,
Keishichi

You can't specify embedded files via URL. There are PDF actions of type GoToE that can open embedded files, however. So inside the PDF you can do this.

Xcelsius not linking to Excel document

When attempting to link in cells from my Excel document. I get nothing in return. For example: If I was to try to link a single value box to a cell in my Excel document I wouldu2026
1.     Create a single value box
2.     Click u201Clink to Cell:u201D
3.     Select the cell in the workbook
This should return the value in that cell and display the path in the u201Clink to Cellu201D box in the single value boxu2019s properties. Neither happens, the "link to cell" box remains with the value "0.0" in it as if I had not done anything.
Info on my Excel document
1. Size 372 KB (is this too large?)
2 Formulas used: Vlookup, concatenate
3. Linked to external source: No
I have created dashboards before and never had this issue. If you have any advise, it would be much appreciated!

Have you updated your Xcelsius to the latest FP2? [Xcelsius 2008 Engage Fix Pack 2 (FP2) is available;
After that when you originally load the xlf file do you get any error message? Sounds like the xlf is not completely loaded making the spreadsheet unusable.
Is this only happening with one particular xlf?

Link to Excel document in site throws "Document with same name already open"

I have an Excel document stored in a document library in SP2010. I provided a link to the document in a CEWP on a page. When clicking the link on the page, Excel throws the erorr "Two documents with the same name cannot be opened" error.
When clicking the link in the document library, the Excel workbook opens fine. When hovering over both links, the URL in the status bar is identical. Here is the link in the page:
<span style="width:120px; padding-right:50px;">
<a class="ms-addnew" href="https://mydomain.com/sys/groups/ermcg/RA/Shared%20Documents/RA1.xlsm">
<img src="https://mydomain.com/sys/groups/ermcg/RA/SiteAssets/excelsmall.jpg" style="border:none;vertical-align:middle;"></img> Download to Excel</a>
</span>
Thanks in advance,

Hi jd_hancock,
The scenario is not reproduced in my environment.
I used Fiddler to check whether there are differences between them to download the file, it seems the same and the file also successfully opened in the Content Editor Web Part.
I would suggest you to use the same way to check whether the download process is the same, also, type the url directly in the address bar, whether the document can be opened as expected?
Thanks,
Qiao

Problem converting excel document to PDF

The Adobe Acrobat Pro X has started converting all pages of my excel documents into one single page PDF. I have set the page breaks correctly in excel, so I am not sure why Adobe is converting the documents like this?? Thanks!!

Under the Acrobat ribbon in Excel, click on Prefereces, and make sure you have "Fit Worksheet to a single page" turned off.

Create link to excel sheet from ssrs

Hi!
I,m trying to create a link from SSRS to an excel sheet that is placed on a server (in my case the same server as Sql is running)
\\csedb30\BusinessWarehouse\VDC\Actual\exceltest.xlsx. I have made links to url sites and to other reports within reporting services, But this time i would like to use a
textbook control in a report and when the user click on the texbox it should open up the excel sheet in the same way that a hyperlink works in excel. The problem seems to be that i have to link to a source on a server not a URL adress.
Is there any solution to this.
Best regards
Arne
Arne Olsson

Hi Arne,
In this scenario, you just need to put file:\\csedb30\BusinessWarehouse\Linktest.xlsx in the Go to URL expression. Don't put "=" in the expression,
and the path will be underlined. And you need to redeploy the project to make it work. After you click the textbox, the path will be shown in the browser.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,

Problem in conventing word/excel documents to pdf file.

Dear all,
I have got a rather strange error in by Acrobat 9 Pro in Windows 7 Pro which made me rather frustrating. Recently our office has brought 2 Lenovo PC set and have reinstatlled all the software e.g. Office 2007, Acrobat 9 Pro (updated to 9.4.1) to the new PC, however, we noted that there some of the important functions we used in our old WinXP computer no longer exist in the new Win7 environment. Now what I can do is to open each word files and use Acrobat > Create PDF on menu bar to convert hundreds of word documents one by one.
The following pop-up appears when I right click .docm and .dof files BUT NOT to the .doc or .docx files.
Can anyone help on this issue?

Hi "LawlordsX",
I do understand the issue, something seems to have messed up the Shell Extensions on the 2 Lenovo laptops you talked about.
Could you please check if the 2 m/c(s) have an additional version of Office installed in parellal to Office 2007, say Office 2010 trial pre-installed on them. This can be verified via CONTROL PANEL > PROGRAMS AND FEATURES > Check for the versions of Office installed. If yes, please let me know the additional Office software version/type.
Also, could you be more specific about the bitage of the system, i.e. whether the Windows 7 m/c is 32-bit or 64-bit?
This can be checked from CONTROL PANEL > SYSTEM > Under "System" section check for "System Type".
If converting multiple files at a time to PDF is an issue, as an alternate you could use FILE > CREATE > BATCH CREATE MULTIPLE FILES to workaround the problem for the time being.
Thanks!

Creating links to Word, PDF and Powerpoint files

I need advice on how to create links to Word, Powerpoint and PDF files in my Captivate project. How do I also make sure that when my file is published, those links can be accessed by the reader. I am new to this process. Thanks!

Yes. You can place the linked file in your zipped folder. Here is a recommended workflow.
1. Add a button (Smartshape or regular button) to the slide.
2. Assign the Open File or URL action to the button. In the URL field, specify the file name (say, Sample.PPTX) which you want to link to.
3. Click the down arrow button next to the URL field and select New so that the file launches in a new window.
4. Save and publish your project to a folder.
5. Go to the published folder and place the linked Sample.pptx file in the folder.
6. Zip the published folder.
Absolute Path is where you give the full path of the file's location including the folder structure. For example, C:\<UserName>\Documents\My Adobe Captivate Projects\Sample.pptx. If you use this, then you have to maintain the same folder structure in the published folder as well, which is impractical.
Relative Path, in this case, is where you just give the file name and make sure that the file is in the published folder.
Just Google and you will find several examples of absolute and relative paths. You will even see that you can define sub folders if required.

How do I correct a problem with PDF Portfolio Links

Problem with links.
Converting a page from MSWord to PDF is presenting problems:
I have changed preferences to deselect the Convert Word Bookmarks option;
The straight conversion retains the links;
Adding the file to PDF portfolio breaks the latest link;
Using the link tool and go to page option tries to open the page (file) but I receive instruction to download Acrobat Reader 9 (I already have the latest reader installed (9.3), have checked it and repaired it);
Attempting to download the Reader (I cannot move on – the page is full screen and will not be minimised) the download is blocked at the end.
I have rebuilt the Portfolio from scratch but the problem persists.
I have run a full (extended) bench test on all my hardware – no significant problems found.
MSWord docx. saved in html and converted back to MSword
New doc converted to PDF with minimum preferences
Converted doc copied to portfolio
No change
Portfolio opened in PDF reader
No Change
Acrobat 9.3 uninstalled and replaced with original Acrobat 9
No Change
PDF Printer driver checked – OK
Full virus scan run
The Portfolio updating from MSWord is a procedure which I have repeated many times in the past without any problem.
I cannot move forward, all attempts to solve the problem have failed.

Using Flash/Actionscript to create PDF Portfolio Navigator

Hi Guys
We've been using Acrobat Pro Extended to create PDF
Portfolio's for a wee while now, and now in order to create a
'fresh look', my boss is wanting to create custom navigators.
As the programmer of the team, I've looked into it and found
out that it involves Actionscripting/Flex. While I'm a decent
enough programmer, Actionscript isnt something I've used before, so
I was wondering if there were any online guides or books I could
buy that
specifically show how to create a customer navigator for a pdf
portfolio.
Any help you can provide will be much appreciated.

I also have the same goal except I am not even a decent
programmer. I am actively looking for a place to download the
working Carosel that is kind of advertised as a capability of
Acrobat. Even if someone was selling it...I just wanted to chime in
for support on the topic.
