CS4 hyperlinks are inactive on exported PDF

Ok, I have hyperlinks to URL's on my Indesign CS4 document.
I selected the text, clicked new hyperlink, link to URL and unchecked shared destination and selected in character style my saved hyperlink style... then pasted the URL address into the destination. When exporting as PDF I have checked off to include hyperlinks.
When the new PDF is opened in Preview the link "appears" active, but does not forward to the webpage of the hyperlink.
WHAT IS WRONG ???

AND I have downloaded the latest version of Acrobat Reader X, and when I select a live hyperlink I get a notice if I want to connect to the linked site, and when I select yes I am still not directed anywhere... it's a dead-end.
It seems like something has changed within InDesign CS4 within the last two months, now there seems to be a hyperlinkage inability for PDF's.
It worked fine for me before this time just using basic Preview... and now nothing.
And I need this PDF by the end of day

Image hyperlinks are lost upon export to HTML

Hi,
I have many documents I need to convert to HTML. I need the images in the documents to be links. This has worked fine, according to normal procedures if the images are png, jpg, or gifs. However, most of my images are not those formats. So if I have an eps, pdf, and tiff in my document, upon html export, there is no hyperlink. That is, the <a href></a> tags are not in the HTML at all. But if I convert the images to png, jpeg, or gifs, put them in my document, then choose that file format for conversion, the links work fine.
I want to say there is an issue with the link tags upon file conversion. It could be something else, but I am not sure why it works for certain file formats and not others. I figured ID would keep the association with the hyperling after converting an image from say and eps to jpg. If anyone knows what if going on, that would be most helpful, or if anyone knew of a good way to keep hyperlinks for images after exporting to HTML, I would greatly appreciate it.
(I can obviously add the link tags myself in the HTML, or convert the images myself and put them in the docs, but I have many documents and would like some automated way.)
Thanks for the help!

Might help if you told us what version of InDesign you're using.

Crystal Report (visual studio 2005)-Hyperlink not working on exported PDF

I have created a crystal report by using VS 2005, there are some hyperlinks inside the report.
After i exported the report to PDF, I check the PDF file, none of the link contains inside the PDF file.
It seems a bug, i google this issue, some people can export to RTF first and then in RTF save as PDF, then the link should be there. I tried it, it works, but it totally mess up my report layout.
Please advise,
Tommy

Typing the terms "pdf export hyperlink crystal" in the search box at the top right corner of this page comes up with the following KB (5th hit):

"Messed" up report export to RTF does not tell me much either. A link to a screenshot will be great.

Disable Export PDF button inside CS Review for the reviewers

Hi all
Times ago I used CS Review to share some specific projects to a group of reviewers. Found CS Review very safety because these reviewers could see the pages, post comments and just it.
Now I´m using again the CS Review to share a new set of projects to a group of reviewers and have perceived the reviewers are able to EXPORT PDF from the content.
Is there any way to disable the Export to PDF button so reviewers can acess....read the informations..post comments..but do not do anything more..do not download it ? (only see online)
Thank you a lot
Gustavo.

Hi Katharine and Ken how have you been?
Long times we do not chat. I remember the times of CS Review Pre-tests
Ken thank you a lot
Well...Seems I do not have or I´m not able to find this Review Setting option inside my acrobat.com.
>>>Reviewers will not be able to export, only Coauthors and the original Author.
This is the best !!! and very suitable for me.
Could you help me to find this option to disable?
Thank you a lot
Gustavo.

Hyperlinks are dead when Pages file is exported as a PDF

When I export a file from Pages '09, version 4.0.5, to a PDF file, the hyperlinks do not work. The Pages help menu states "Hyperlinks in your Pages document are exported to the PDF file. Hyperlinks are also created in the PDF file for table of contents entries, footnotes and endnotes, webpages, email addresses, and bookmarks." I am opening the PDF files in Acrobat Reader. What is the problem here?

I discovered the problem. Being new to Pages, I did not realize that the text layer had to be in front of the transparent shapes that I was using as backgrounds, in order for the links to be clickable in a pdf file.
For sure, putting background objects *_at front_* is not a good idea

InDesign CS5.5 Exporting PDF master page hyperlinks only work on first 2 pages

We recently upgraded from CS5 to CS5.5 and now our hyperlinks that go to different pages in the PDF only are working on the first 2 pages of each document in the book. We have about 30 documents wrapped up in a indesign book. On the master page we have hyperlinks that allow users to quickly go to the index in the back of the book. After the CS5.5 upgrade the hyperlinks only work the the first 2 pages of each document. We export to PDF(print) with hyperlinks enabled.
I have tried the below:
- I have tried 2 different computers
- Deleted and re-created the indesign preference file
- deleted and re-created the hyperlinks

Can you recommendd the best way to manage the following:
I'm on a Mac. Created an enewsletter for a client in Indesign CS5 with 7 "click here"s throughout the document. The hyperlinks are to connect w other PDF documents not URLs.
Where will I have the best luck creating the hyperlinks - Indesign or in the PDF I export? I have Acrobat Pro if I need to create the hyperlinks in the PDF.
Except I can't figure out how to create the links in either program as far as what name to designate and where do the PDFs reside so people can link to them? And do I enter the file name of the PDF connected to the particular "click here."

Interactive Links in exported PDF are too big (links overlap in TOC)

When we export our InDesign document to PDF, hyperlinks are automatically generated for each item in the Table of Contents (TOC). This is great, but the problem is the hyperlink area of each line overlaps with the hyperlink area of the next line. This can create confusion in Adobe Reader and Apple Preview when a user clicks near the top or bottom of a TOC heading on a line, thinking it will take them to that heading in the document but instead they are taken to the preceeding or following heading in the document.
We currently have to open the PDF up in Adobe Acrobat and manually go through and reduce the height of every hyperlink in our document, particularly in the TOC (using the Link Tool). Is there anyway in InDesign to change the height of hyperlinks that are exported? If not, is there a way to bulk update the height of all the hyperlinks using Acrobat rather than doing each one individually/manually (maybe some sort of script)?
Many thanks : ) Lee

Uncheck the reflow option and apply the updates to Acrobat Pro 9.0. Windows 7 was released after Acrobat 9 and the only way to make sure you have a program that will work properly with Windows 7 is to apply the updates. There have also been some significant security patches included with the updates.

Removing hyperlinks from InDesign when exporting to PDF

I have an InDesign file with no hyperlinks set up that contains text which are URLs (for example, it includes the text www.google.com but NOT a hyperlink to that URL). I need the file to be set up that way because I am not allowed to publish PDFs that contain active links. Every time I export the InDesign file to a PDF the hyperlinks become active in the PDF. This happens whether or not the "Include... Hyperlinks" box is checked. The Hyperlinks window is empty. Any advice on how to keep this from happening or how to remove the links from the PDF?
Thanks!
Laura

Did you post this yesterday in another thread? The answer hasn't changed.
Reader and Acrobat, by default, in newer versions scan text for text strings look like URLs and automatically will set them to be links to the address that is found (valid or otherwise). This is not behavior that you can control in ID. It can be turned off in the Acrobat prefs by the user, but you can't force them to do it.

Hyperlinks to XLS, DOC, and PDF files that are included in a .chm file work intermittently.

SUMMARY
Hyperlinks to XLS, DOC, and PDF files that are included in a
.chm file (and the Baggage Files) only work intermittently. The
only solution appears to be deleting the Temporary Internet Files.
PROBLEM
1. I place the XLS, DOC, or PDF file in the Windows
sub-directory that corresponds to the RoboHelp project sub-folder
where the topic in which I’ll place the hyperlink exists.
2. I open the help project in RoboHelp HTML.
3. I right-click on the project’s Baggage Files
sub-folder that corresponds to the Windows sub-directory in which I
placed the XLS, DOC, or PDF file (in step 1).
4. I import the XLS, DOC, or PDF file.
5. I open the topic in which I’m going to place the
hyperlink in the WYSIWYG editor.
6. I “drag and drop” the Baggage File into the
topic (in the WYSIWYG editor) to create a link to it.
7. I save the changes and then generate HTML (.chm) help.
8. I open the .chm file and click the hyperlink. The XLS,
DOC, or PDF file may or may not open.
9. When the hyperlink works correctly, for DOC and XLS files,
a “File Download – Security Warning” dialog box
appears asking, “Do you want to open or save this
file?”. The buttons that are available are
“Open”, “Save”, and “Cancel”.
These buttons work then as one would expect. (When the hyperlink
works correctly for a PDF file, it simply opens the PDF file in a
new window; there’s no prompt to save, open, or cancel.)
10. When a hyperlink does NOT work, for DOC, XLS, and PDF
files, no dialog box or other visual message is displayed. Instead,
the sound that is associated with the “Exclamation”
program event is played (the “Windows XP
Exclamation.wav” file is the WinXP default).
Other Notes:
- The hyperlinks ALWAYS work when I view a topic using the
“View Selected Item” function (Ctrl+W) in the RoboHelp
HTML project.
- Once a hyperlink stops working, it will not start working
again until I delete all the Temporary Internet Files.
- A hyperlink will stop working even if Internet Explorer
(iexplore.exe) is closed the entire time.
WORKAROUND
Through trial and error, I have discovered that if a
hyperlink stops working, I can get it to work again using the
following steps:
1. Leave the .chm file open.
2. Open Internet Explorer.
3. Click Tools>Internet Options….
4. From the “Internet Options” dialog box, select
the “General” tab.
5. Under the “Temporary Internet Files” section,
click the “Delete Files…” button.
6. From the “Delete Files” dialog box, select
“Delete all offline content” and then click
“OK”. The files are deleted and the “Delete
Files” dialog box closes.
7. Click “OK” to close the “Internet
Options” dialog box.
8. Without closing Internet Explorer and without re-starting
the .chm file, all the hyperlinks that didn’t work before
will now work.
GENERAL SYSTEM INFORMATION
- Windows XP Pro, SP2
- Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180
- RoboHelp X5, 5.0.2 Build 801
- HTML (.chm) help project files exist on my local machine
- HTML (.chm) help file is run from my local machine
- Project is under RoboSource version control
TEMPORARY INTERNET SETTINGS
- “Check for newer versions of stored pages” is
set to “Automatically”
- “Current location” for the Temporary Internet
files folder is set to “C:\Documents and Settings\My
Username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\”
- “Amount of disk space to use” is set to
“594” MB
“View Files…”
- An XLS or DOC file will be listed here if I click its
hyperlink and then click either “Open” or
“Save” from the “File Download – Security
Warning” dialog box.
- A file will appear here even if I click “Save”
and then click “Cancel” from the subsequent “Save
As” dialog box.
- If I click “Cancel” from the “File
Download – Security Warning” dialog box, the file does
not appear in the Temporary Internet Files folder.
- When a file does appear in the Temporary Internet Files
folder, its Internet Address is displayed similar to the following:
“ms-its:C:\PrimaryProjectFolder\ProjectName.chm::/SubFolderName/FileName.xls”
“View Objects…”
Here’s a list of all the program files that appear:
- “Microsoft Office Template and Media Control”
(Last Accessed 12/13/06) (Version 12,0,6024,0)
- “Shockwave ActiveX Control” (Last Accessed
12/14/06) (Version 10,1,4,20)
- “Shockwave Flash Object” (Last Accessed
12/18/06) (Version 9,0,28,0)
- “Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool”
(Last Accessed 12/14/06) (Version 1,5,722,0)
- “WUWebControl Class” (Last Accessed 12/13/06)
(Version 5,8,0,2469)
Today is 12/18/06 so the only program file that is listed as
having been “Last Accessed” today is the
“Shockwave Flash Object”.
REQUEST FOR HELP
I really want to include certain PDF, DOC, and XLS files in
their native format in a .chm file. However, I need a better
solution to my problem than the one I discovered. What I really
want is to avoid the entire problem altogether.
Have anyone seen this before or have any suggestions?

You wont be able to do that. The embedded objects would appear as images only.

I just purchased Export PDF, and when I use it, it opens them in WordPad (which I never use) instead of Word. Thus, the pictures are not there, and the fonts are changed. How do I get into Word?

How to create a hyperlink when exporting .pdf?

Hi guys,
I've been doing quite a bit of research on how to make an object into a hyperlink when exporting my .ai as .pdf.
So far I've come across guides that show the method of using Object > Slice and the Attributes' Image Map, but none of them seem to work when I open my exported .pdf.
How do you guys create objects with links when exporting .pdf?
Thanks in advance.

InDesign, most probably.
Or create the PDF in Illustrator and use Acrobat (Pro) afterwards to make links.
Depends on what's inside the document.

Hi Ravinder,
As I mentioned in my email to you, I wasn't able to reproduce the behavior your described. The images appear properly.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Black and White Gray Scale Photos Are Dark When Exported from Indesign to PDF

When I print right from InDesign the black and white photos look great. However, if I print the exported pdf file, the black and white photos are much darker. Is there something I should be doing upon export so that they will look as they do in InDesign?
Thanks,

I have tried different settings in format and color space all with the same results. I'm sure it has to do with system not being calibrated. I'm not to computer literate so not sure how all this works. The other programs must go along with my computer and moniter settings where LR and Elements produce their own rendering independent of settings. Yes, I checked and Elements renders like LR. I found some other forums that discussed similar problems but with color rendering. HMMM, just tried something. In Picassa I switched to Linear Gamma 2.2 in display mode and the LR edited photos look correct. So it must be something along those lines being the problem.

Export PDF - I have purchased this for an annual subscription. I can use it on my PC but on my Mac I cannot access the progrem to use it. Why? I can sign in but the only options I get are to buy a product or download a free 30 day trial. What it this

On my Mac I cannot access the Export PDF program which I have purchased and it does not want to download. What's the whole point?

Hi stephena,
Are you logging in directly to https://cloud.acrobat.com/export PDF via web browser on your Mac? There's nothing to download with an ExportPDF subscription. It may be that you have Reader installed on your PC, and are accessing the service from there.
You could also install Reader on your Mac, and then sign in to ExportPDF from there by clicking the Sign In link in the upper-right corner.
Best,
Sara
