Cross platform pdf CD-rom with hyperlinks

Hi there, I am suffering with some cross platform impatience.
Trying to make a cd-rom...the structure is from a root folder-containing an html file which is opened then select links to open particular PDF documents (that all works fine)
In the PDF document there are hyperlinks to other PDf docs, word docs, zip files and powerpoiunt files. They all work perfectly on the PC but no links working from the mac.
Mac is running OS X 10.5.
I have created the links by using the advanced editing options, then add custonm link and add file. Then i select the appropraite file.
I did do it on an older version mac to test too (running mac OS X 10.4.10) and all the linking files worked except for the zip files - which try open a web browser. Thats ok though but then i put the cd-rom in the newer mac and nothing is linking (like dead links)
Thanks for any help - this is an urgent job i have to get out. So speedy replies will be GREATLY appreciated.

Interactive pdf in indesign with hyperlinks warning

create adverts that are interactive pdf in indesign with hyperlinks and mail to links and now we are assembling the document back together in the form of a book but on importing the pdf back into indesign we are getting the
warning: “this file may contain newer extensions or information than this viewer can support. it may not open of display correctly and cannot be changed.”
when the pdf imports the hyperlinks on the text work but the hyperlinks on the images are gone?
Using version cs5 v7.0.4

@Steve – I'm not so sure about that.
At least the OP could experiment with Acrobat Pro's "Import as Layer" function.
With "Import as Layer" you could import another PDF to a new layer.
But I don't know if all the interactivity will stay in place and will be working.
Did not test that yet.
See the screen where I did layer two different PDFs together. A German version and an English version of the same document:
"Import as Layer" is an option in the Layers at the sidebar of Acrobat Pro.
As you can see there are some options for positioning with "Manual positioning".

HT3697 I am trying to convert a Keynote Presentation to a cross platform PDF file. When using export it creates a 30mb file when it only need to be 2-3mb and so cant email or use it very easily. How do I get the file size down?

I'm trying export a Keynote presentation to PDF, or other format, to use on Windows PC, iPad and other devices.
The file Keynote create is way too large at 30mb+. So cant email or share it very easily
If I print it and to Adobe PDF I can get it to 3mb, but have to crop it manually, and some settings or graphics are not so good or accdeptable!
Does anyone know how to do this?

Use Dropbox to send large files that cant be sent using email:

Old Macromedia - Adobe cross platform font issues

This message is more directed to Adobe.
I am aware that currently OpenType fonts are cross platform compatible but only with Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign.
However, my primary workspace is Fireworks-Flash. There are serious cross platform issues with fonts - I have looked at truetype, postscript and opentype and they all have issues translating onto PC - many of the styles are not available.
In our studio I design on Mac but our Flash developers are on PC - our final renders and review renders always need to happen on Mac as a result of this cross platform issue. This is a little inefficient.
When is Adobe planning on resolving this issue?

"I am aware that currently OpenType fonts are cross platform
compatible but only with Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign."
No, they are fully cross-platform compatible. The Adobe products you
mention, along with a very few others, are the only applications
capable of taking full advantage of the advanced features available in
some opentype fonts. And even the three products you mention don't all
necessarily support open-type in the same way.
"However, my primary workspace is Fireworks-Flash. There are serious
cross platform issues with fonts - I have looked at truetype,
postscript and opentype and they all have issues translating onto PC -
many of the styles are not available."
If you are using the same application version on both platforms, you
should have identical functionality. If you're using an older version
of Fireworks.
The only cross-platform style issue with TT or T1 fonts is that
Windows doesn't recognize any styles other than Regular, Bold, Italic,
and Bold Italic. Also, there's a font menu difference between MacOS
and Windows. Mac display all available styles, whereas Windows only
displays the family name, and you have to select the variants from
somewhere else (typically "B" "I" "U" buttons). SOME font families
from some vendors use the style function to define such variants as
Small Caps, Light, etc. MS products get ... confused.
"In our studio I design on Mac but our Flash developers are on PC -
our final renders and review renders always need to happen on Mac as a
result of this cross platform issue. This is a little inefficient."
If you're using different applications for design and rendering, and
their functionality is different, then you have a cross-application
compatibility issue. You didn't mention what applications or versions
are involved.
"When is Adobe planning on resolving this issue?"
It may be more a Microsoft issue than an Adobe issue. In addition to
the style limitations, There are no MS products that yet support
open-type features.
Although Adobe personnel do sometimes visit here, this is not a
"talk-to-Adobe' forum. Since your problem is application related, I'd
suggest taking it to the appropriate application forumsFireworks
General Discussion looks right.
And, as Bob said, you might also contact Adobe support directly with
your concerns.

PDF with special characters (é, ñ) needs to be legible cross-platform(mac & pc)

I am using Illustrator to design a PDF. Because it's in Spanish, accent marks and other special characters are needed (á, ñ).
When I export the PDF from the ai file and view it on my mac it looks fine. However, when I open it on a pc some of the special characters are completely missing.
I tried Creating Outlines with the text, although it will make it harder to update in the future and so less preferable to leaving the text editable. Creating Outlines works fine on the mac, however on the pc the L's appear thicker than they actually are.
Does anyone know how to make special characters legible cross-platform when creating a PDF using Illustrator?
Thanks!!

Does anyone know how to make special characters legible cross-platform when creating a PDF using Illustrator?
Yes. You use a correct OpenType font that has the glyphs in the place where they belong and can be embedded without limitations. Older TrueType or PostScript fonts are simply unsuitable as are fonts that cannot be emebdded and require to be installed locally. It all comes down to system language settings vs. the unified environment inside acrobat. This also requires any PDF to be created on systems with the language settings correct in the first place, i.e. creating Spanish text with a Japanese version of AI would be pretty desastrous due to how foreign language fonts are accessed... check these things and then try again. If possible, enforce embedding of the full font in the PDF settings, not just a subset and choose a suitable font.

PDF with hyperlinks to images and other PDFs.

Hi, All.
I would like to create a small booklet with approximately 12 to 16 pages as a PDF document but wish to have images and text in the document set as hyperlinks so that they can launch other images and/or documents. In other words, a viewer could click on an image or text and then see an enlarged image open on the center of his computer screen or see another document open over the original PDF. This would work in a similar fashion to what one can do with interactive books on the iPad created with iBook Author.
The questions I have are:
Where can I find more material to read on how to create PDF with these features?
I have seen PDFs that open with an application on screen that makes them 'feel' more like a real magazine. They are not a typical Acrobat or similar PDF viewer but rather an application that 'flips' the pages in a similar manner to what one would do holding a real magazine. Is it possible to do this with the PDF documents launched by hyperlinks on my PDF document?
Can these hyperlinks open enlarged images in the center of the screen while the remaining area around the image (background) become darker to place emphasis on the image?
How can I learn more about these features and how to use them with Acrobat and PDF documents?
In case the information is relevant I am currently running Acrobat 9 Pro version 9.5.3 on a Mac.
This is sort of an urgent project so any help you can share will be very appreciated.
TIA,
Joe.

Microsoft Access forms to pdf with hyperlinks?

Help needed.
I can convert Microsoft Word files to PDF and preserve hyperlinks.
I wrote a new application for our parts department using Microsoft Access.
When I PDF a form with a particular part displayed, it does not preserve the hyperlinks.
Now I am in trouble because we need this feature for the engineers to be able to access supporting information about each part (data sheets etc.)
Since the engineers are used to the "Microsoft Word" earlier version they are not amenable in going "backwards" with the "new" system and not having active hyperlinks to the support documents.
I have searched everywhere for a solution and so far found nothing that works.
I am using Acrobat PRO X and Microsoft Access PRO 2010
please help as my "neck" is on the line...
thanks
Richard

In Access try File->Save as PDF.
If it's anything like in Word, the Save as PDF function does it a different way (ie. not via Postscript) compared to Acrobat. So you might get a result that way.

I saved a word document with hyperlinks in it as a pdf. When following the links in the pdf, i can't the browser to go back to the pdf. Help ..

You cannot save word files to pdf using reader. When you click a link (in Reader or in the browser using the Reader plugin) you open the url in your browser (what browser)? We need detailed information to help.

Insert a spreadsheet and word docs into a PDF with hyperlinks

I have a spreadsheet index with hyperlinks to 455 single page word docs. I want to make a single pdf by inserting the spreadsheet followed by the word docs.
Is there a way of having the hyperlinks recognize the inserted word docs pages inside the pdf via the original hyperlinks, or do I need to remove the hyperlinks before inserting the spreadsheet and then do bookmarks for all 455 pages? Or some other method?

James,
I doubt that will work. But it should be easy enough to find out. If you
print to pdf from ID, I guarantee is will not work. If you export from
ID, I doubt it will work, but ask in the ID forum, since the creation
does not depend upon Acrobat.

Cannot Export PDF with Hyperlinks and Bookmarks

August 1, 2008
Hi Everyone,
I've recently upgraded to InDesign CS3. I opened a 40 page document that was completed in InDesign CS2. When I try to export to a PDF (with include hyperlinks and bookmarks) the program quits once it reaches the 5th page.
I've tried exporting without hyperlinkes and bookmarks checked and PDFing works fine. I had no previous PDFing issues when working in CS2.
Any suggestions/tips/guesses would be appreciated.
Thank you,

Hi! I need help w indesigns hyperlink...
I am working on a long document and have 5 files, I was able to use hyperlink on each one that way the reader could jump fr one file (or page) to another. The hyperlink worked perfectly on PDF. Now I need to merge these five PDF's into 1 PDF file but the hyperlink that I have created on individual files doesnt work in a combined PDF. Is there a run-around on this? Any suggestions? I'm just new in indesign and need inputs. Thanks!
Im using Windows XP and CS3.

Exporting to PDF with hyperlinks, how do I keep the squares from showing around them?

I have a document Im creating and I have ads created in graphics, other PDFs, and text which all have hyperlinks in them that I want to be clickable. the JPGs with them, I put an invisible square over the link and assigned the link. For most of the PDFs I got, the hyperlinks were already clickable. When I export the final document to PDF, all those links are carried over just how I like, and no squares are shown over those links...perfect. For all the typed text that has hyperlinks, those show a square going around those links. Its VERY ugly! How do I keep it from doing that and keep everything clickable that needs to be?

The following simple Javascript should set all of document's hyperlinks to "invisible rectangle":
var myHyperlinks = app.activeDocument.hyperlinks.everyItem().getElements();
for (i = myHyperlinks.length - 1; i >= 0; i--){
myHyperlinks[i].visible = false;
(save it as "HyperlinksInvisible.jsx", or whatever, put it into the Scripts panel folder, and double-click its name in the Script Panel to run it.)

Email pdf with hyperlink

Hi,
I am trying to email an optimized pdf file with hyperlinks. The links work and show up when I am in Acrobat (version - Prof. 9.0), but when i email the pdf they do not show up in the email. My ultimate goal is for the entire pdf page to show up in the email (so u don't have to actually open any programs) with the links active, so when reading the email you can move your cursor over it and the link will show as active. Hope that makes sense, in essence it's basically an email blast, but for some reason my links aren't showing up in the final email. I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

>My ultimate goal is for the entire pdf page to show up in the email
Impossible to assure that with all users. Many may have their email client set to show it as an attachment only.

Can I use Messages in OSX to text with a person on an Android platform? My iPhone works cross platform but I don't get the text in Messages on my desktop with OSX 10.8.2

Does "Messages" in OSX 10.8.2 work cross platform? My daughter has an android phone and I can text with her OK in iOS. However, her texts don't show up on OSX whereas texts from my son, who has an iPhone, work in iOS and OSX.

HI,
The answer is yes and no.
As Barney-15E link says you can get the Messages app to SMS to AIM Buddies. Or rather telephone Numbers as AIM Buddies.
There are limits.
The computer has to be set as if in the United States (System Preferences > Language and Text > Region)
The phone is question has to be on a carrier that supports AIM SMS forwarding which only applies to some US based carriers.
The reason the SMS Messages arriving on the iPhone do not sync is that they are not iMessages (the "No" Part).
I use Messages with the Buddy List Showing.
As a test I have added a made up number as a Buddy and also created a Address Card for it.
So Mousing over the "Buddy" reveal the "Screen Name" which is the phone Number
You have to include the Leading +1 country code as well.

Email messages containing PDF's with hyperlinks

When I create my PDF (from indesign) with web links and email hyperlinks and send an email that contains the attached PDF, is there a way to allow the recipient to be able to click on those links in that PDF, from within the email message window? Thanks!

Your viewers need to open the attachment to read the PDF.
I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do. ID really isn't the program for making email blasts.

Oracle 10g - Cross-Platform Transportable Database (with or without RMAN?)

Hello guys,
i am currently on a project for migrating oracle databases from one platform to another platform (both platforms are on the same endianess):
-> From Linux 64-Bit to Windows 64-Bit
-> From HP-UX 64-Bit to AIX 64-Bit
All databases are on Oracle 10g (10.2.0.4) and i have tested two different ways:
1) The "official" way with RMAN CONVERT DATABASE
http://youngcow.net/doc/oracle10g/backup.102/b14191/dbxptrn002.htm#CHDEEEAG
2) "Copy & Paste"
- Copy & Paste of the database files
- Recreate controlfile manually on target platform (with help of "backup controlfile to trace" on source platform)
Both ways are working well and the migrated test databases are running fine.
Now i am wondering why there is a "RMAN CONVERT DATABASE" command, if it possible to copy and paste the data files and perform two steps manually afterwards.
The "RMAN CONVERT DATABASE" is time consuming and you still need to copy the RMAN output files to the target platform.
Is there any special reason, why you need the "RMAN CONVERT DATABASE"? Does the "RMAN CONVERT DATABASE" change some things in the database files internally?
Thanks and Regards

Hello,
Anurag Tibrewal wrote:
If the source platform and the target platform are of different endianness, then an additional step must be done on either the source or target platform to convert the tablespace being transported to the target format. Of course .. in this case you can not use the "Cross-Platform Transportable Database" - you have to use the "Cross-Platform Tranportable Tablespace" (with RMAN CONVERT DATAFILE or TABLESPACE).
Anurag Tibrewal wrote:
If they are of the same endianness, then no conversion is necessary and tablespaces can be transported as if they were on the same platform.Yes, but oracle provides this with RMAN and the command "RMAN CONVERT DATABASE" .. as i already wrote i have already performed the two ways "RMAN CONVERT DATABASE" and "just copy & paste" and both are working fine.
So my question is if there is any special case in which you should use the RMAN way with "RMAN CONVERT DATABASE" instead of just "copy & paste" if you stay on the same endianness?
Thanks and Regards
