Creating PDFs with links for web searches

Hi everyone. That title is not exactly the problem I'm having, but it's a good start.
We have found that Firefox/IE/Chrome search our PDFs quite nicely, but when the link is clicked in the search results, all that happens is that the PDF opens to page 1. Users have to search again to find what they're looking for. Perhaps that is just how such a search is supposed to happen, but it seems that I've seen somewhere that a PDF opened to the page with the search term on it.
What can we add to the FrameMaker source files or the PDF (before it's posted to the web) to ensure that a search link takes the user precisely to the text being searched for? We're TCS3 with unstructured FM but might soon be, um, strongly encouraged to switch to the structured version.
I've looked through the FM and Acrobat forums for an answer, to no avail.
Thanks for the help!

> I wonder whether it's a limitation of the search engine, rather than FM or Acrobat.
That would be my guess. Search engines probably cannot search many PDFs in the raw at all (you don't have to turn on much security to turn a PDF binary into an encrypted mess). But if the PDF allows reading and/or printing, they can render the whole thing, and index what's displayed. The named destinations may not be recovered in that process, plus, you're not always assured that there will be an ND nearby everything you're indexing.
Adobe might even provide some APIs that would allow deeper linking into PDFs as a search result, but it may also be that few enough have useful NDs that it just isn't worth the bother to look. NDs inflate the size of the PDF, so many publishers don't turn them on (we don't, and probably won't, until we need deliberate deep linking).
If you want the info to be accessible like a web page, you multi-flow to HTML or a similar non-atomic format as well.

Creating PDF with links, one page of my PDF I cannot scroll or view, the PDF just jumps to the next page. Help!

Hi Forum,
I have created a 14 page PDF with Adobe Acrobat XI. When I try to view page 13 (scrolling or just clicking on the page in thumbnails) it skips over 13 to 14 or goes back to 12. This started after creating links in the PDF from the 2nd and 3rd pages to certain page views. Is there a maximum? Right now I have about 20 or so within the document. I have updated Adobe and restarted my machine. Same issue exists. Thanks!

Here is the link. I would download because (as you know already I'm sure) links dont work in the Google Drive viewer.
Thanks!

Create pdf with link to image library on shared server?

I want to create a pdf from an image library that's shared across a server by 20 mac users.
But I want the 'contact sheet' to include clickable links from the thumbnails within it, eg:
the user can double click and image and it will open in photoshop.
I've tried a few things via Acrobat pro and Bridge but nothing seems to match what I want.
Can anyone suggest anything?
cheers.

Creating PDF with links in Table of Contents

How do I convert a Word file (in which the page numbers in the Table of Contents are links to their corresponding headings) to a PDF file so that the page numbers in the Table of Contents are still liinks to their corresponding headings? I am working with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. Thanks!

Hmmm. I hadn't heard of this limitation. Indeed, http://www.pdfa.org/2011/08/pdfa-–-a-look-at-the-technical-side/ says "With regard to hyperlinks, the special ‘Link’ annotation type is permitted with or without activated ‘Appearance’. " Maybe this document is being generated with a different kind of annotation.

Illustrator cs2 creates pdf with anomalies

I have Illustrator cs2 (12.0.1) and I create pdfs with it and send these to my clients for proofing. When I view the pdf in acrobat standard 6 it looks fine. When my sales people and clients view it in reader 8 they get a color break down that is incorrect. For example they see a color that should not be there (in the pdf below it is the blue cyan in the logo). So I need to figure out how to fix this problem. Also it does not happen on every pdf.
here is a link to a pdf
www.ebfchurch.org/usb3.pdf
In the link is a pdf that has a problem, and a jpeg to show what it should look like.
When I save the pdf I have tried turning illustrator off ill. editing capabilities and saved as a V.7 pdf. Not sure what else to try besides making the logo a jpg. Would upgrading to reader 8 help? Would this add that to my selections in illustrator?
The other anomalies are I's and some lines becoming a dotted line. This one is rarer and is easy to fix (somewhat). I simply rotate the object by a super small portion that no one would notice.
Thanks for any help.

Most likely some color separation or transparency flattening thing. Could also be the order of your groups/ shapes. Just hard to tell. For testing, I would save a PDF and do a preflight check in Acrobat or other such tool. This usually reveals any problematic stuff...

Photoshop batch production - issues with 'save for web'

Hi,
I'm having an issue with 'save for web' on a batch. I've just spent the last 2 hours searching the web and this forum and although the issue gets touched upon, the threads either suddenly head off in another direction, end, or i just struggle to make sense of the answers given.
I have 350 images that i want to resize to thumbnails and then save for web. 2 hours ago this seemed like a 5 minute job.
I creat an action called 'batch_thumbnail' and press 'Record'.
I then select 'File' > 'Open' and select an image to open using the dialog box.
I then select 'Image' > 'Image Size' and resize the image to the thumbnail size (200 x 125) and press 'OK'.
I then select 'File' > 'Save for Web and Devices', set my optimisation settings and press 'save'.
Using the dialog box that pops up, i navigate to a pre-created directory called 'thumbs' and press 'save'.
I then select 'File' > 'Close' and on the dialog box that pops up i select 'Don't Save'.
I then stop the action from recording.
So far so good.
I then select 'File' > 'Automate' > 'Batch...' and the dialog box appears.
I select my action in the 'Action' drop down menu.
In 'Source' i set the drop down menu to 'Folder', select 'Choose' and select the target directory with my 350 images in.
In 'Destination' i set the drop down menu to 'Folder', select 'Choose' and select the target directory (thumbs), where i wish to save the thumbs.
In 'File Naming' i leave the first box as 'document name', set the second to '_thumb' and have the third as 'extension'.
I then click 'OK'.
And this is where the problem begins. Everything works fine till it trys to save the second image. I can see what's happening, as the directory path and image name that are used whilst setting up the SFW part of the action, are getting hardcoded into the action. So every resulting image is being saved as the same file, instead of being overriden by the settings in 'File Naming'.
I've tried selecting 'Override action 'Save' command', but it doesn't make any difference. Is it actually possible to batch produce files using 'Save for Web and Devices'?
Cheers,
James

I have written a couple of Save For Web batch processors, they may be of use to you?
They can both resize and run an action if required.

Why i can't create PDF with right format by LiveCycle?

Hello,
As we know that PDF format has four sections, the header, object body, cross-reference table and trailer.
But after I create a PDF by Adobe LiveCycle, and open it by UltraEdit or Notepad, I cannot find the cross-reference table and some objects, “trailer” word either .
I try to download several PDF files by follow link:
https://my.adobeconnect.com/_a295153/p10077996/?launcher=false&fcsContent=true&pbMode=norm al ,
and open them as the same way as before, it was the normal format I learn.
So, why my PDF is not the right format? And how can I create PDF with right format?
Thank you a lot!
Ellie

Adobe LiveCycle Designer makes XFA forms - a thin PDF wrapper around XML, no useful PDF page objects. Still, they are valid PDF. Like any PDF, you might not find a trailer or xref if a cross reference stream is used. See ISO 3200-1 7.5.8 "Cross-Reference Streams".

How to use an iPad 2 for web search (via 3G only) while using AirPrint via Airoprt express wifi (NOT connected to the internet)

Heres the setup: I have an IOS 7 iPad 2 that I want to use 3G only for web searches/ emails while using an Airport Express generated wifi bubble (without any connected internett) to print web seraches via airprint to a wifi printer.
The problem: the ipad deafults to searching via the AE's wifi and vainly waits for the non existent interent to connect. It ignores the available 3G internet.
The workaround: a) turn off the AE's wifi, search the web via 3G b) once I have something to print, turn the wifi back on and print via airprint and the AE's wifi to the printer.
The question: Is there a way to turn off the AE's internet access. Using Airport utility, I have tried setting Bridge mode and static IPs to no avail. There is no turn-the-internet-off tick box.
In the ideal setup I would like the ipad 2 to search the web via 3G only (straight away versus waiting vainly for the AE to find it!!) and then print the results via the AE's wifi and airprint without having to toggle wifi on and off all the time.....
Thanks in advance,
Bill...

Creating a Database link for a user

Hello All,
I am trying to create a database link for one of my users.
When I create it as sysdba the link gets created in the SYS schema which tells me that my syntax is working/fine.
But when I ALTER my SESSION and set my CURRENT_SCHEMA = <USER_NAME> I get ORA-00990: missing or invalid privilege
So I tried granting the user CREATE DATABASE LINK, CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK, and DROP PUBLIC DATABASE LINK.
Same error.
Any ideas what I am missing?
Thanks,
Craig
