Editing links in Acrobat 9 Professional
In Acrobat 9 Pro., if I create hyperlinks from URLs in a document by going to Advanced | Document Processing | Create Links from URLs, it sometimes does not create some of the links properly and thus I need to edit some. In acrobat 8, to do this I would simply select the link tool from the toolbar. The link rectangle would then appear for each link. For the link I wanted to edit I would double click on that link and then proceed to edit it.
But in Acrobat 9, when I select the link tool, no link rectangles appear. How do I make the link rectangles visible?
I think Bernd was asking 1. Formatted text and graphics, 2. Searchable Image, or 3. Searchable Image (exact) that are the 3 options in AA8. With the searchable image, you may be able to edit the text, but it will remain hidden (the screen display is an image). With formatted text and graphics there is sometimes a problem because an outline font is used that can not be used for editing. You might be able to change the font and then edit -- I have not spent a lot of time with the option.

Hello,
this could be a task for the user interface professionals at Adobe.
the "Add/Edit Link" in Acrobat DC is a bit complicated. Is there a possibility to have quicker access to the link properties? (Some kind of inspector palette ... maybe?). Especially when I need to link to another page, some kind of lasso tool would be welcome so that I can quickly select the thumbnail page from the list of page thumbnails. Or drag and drop the thumbnail page onto the link properties or something like that.
Another solution could be ...
drag and drop the page thumbnail directly over the rectangle, image or text I have marked as a link.
THANK you.Hi colobaron1,
Could you please specify what exactly do you mean by saying 'select crop marks as a whole'.
Please elaborate more on the same.

Image Editing in Acrobat Professional 8.1.2
I am running Acrobat 8.1.2 under XP Professional Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600.
I am trying to edit images in a file I downloaded from the web to reduce the file size. The images are ones that thumbnails on an earlier page access to show a larger sized image.
The images are slightly too long to fit on one page, so most of the image appears on page 1 and then the bottom portion on the top of page 2. There are text boxes separating the images.
Is there a simple way to edit these images to make them small enough to fit on a single page in Acrobat?
I managed to select each one and drag the corners to make them ~the same size and small enough for one page, but I cannot seem to move the bottom part so that I can merge it with the major part.
It is not clear to me if this is an artefact of the downloading process or not. Perhaps I could adjust some parameter so that the images all fit properly when downloaded?
I'll be glad to create a small, 2 page Acrobat file illustrating the problem. I don't see a way to post it here, though?
Thanks for any insights.
JohnThank you Bill and Aandi for your comments.
I see I should have said a bit more.
In Acrobat Professional 8, I used the menu path File>Create PDF>From Web Page. I specified that I wanted to drill down 2 levels.
That accomplished what I wanted. I captured the images and the linked images. I captured a whole lot more, but that was easy to delete in the Thumbnail View. I then deleted all the superfluous bookmarks and any unwanted text from the homepage. Now I have a PDF which is just under 10K and might pass muster for an email attachment. Clearly if I could condense the linked full size images to single pages, the file should become significantly smaller.
Perhaps it makes a difference, but my browser of choice is Mozilla SeaMonkey 1.1.9.
Acrobat 'does everything for you transparently' so it is not evident if it uses Mozilla, or if it uses its own software to open a web page and capture it. Does anyone reading this know more about the process?
Thanks,

Hi everyone,
I really hope someone can help me with this problem. I work for a software company and we have a release coming up. Every release requires me to create a 'menu' which is what users see when they insert the release CD. I create this menu in Adobe Acrobat Professional, and add links to all the PDF manuals we have for our products. When I open the Menu in Acrobat Professional, all links open fine. When just attempting to open the links using the default Adobe Reader (which i'm guessing most of our customers will use), nothing happens, not even an error is generated. I'm ensuring I link to the documents that reside in the same folder on my directory as the menu. Is this something to do with relative/absolute links? Something to do with Reader XI, as I don't remember having this problem for our last release? Foxit also seems to work in opening the links.
ThanksI’m using version 11.0.10. So where the Menu resides in a folder ready to be burnt on to a CD, that same folder is where the links point to.

Link problem when converting MS Word to PDF with Acrobat Professional
Hello all,
I have the following problem:
When I have a MS Word document with links to other files inside and I convert it to PDF the links are converted from relative paths to absolute paths.
The problem is created by Acrobat as the links in the MS Word file are relative (I have checked this by moving the different docs to another directory and confirmed that the links still work after the move).
How can I make the paths in the PDF relative again? I know there is a plugin from Evermap (and I can confirm this works) but I do not want to use this plugin (=read: spend another $190 dollars) as the license for the Acrobat Professional is expensive enough . Is there a way I can convert the paths within Adobe Acrobat easily? Or better: can I adjust the settings in Acrobat to a new standard when all converted documents contain relative paths?
Backgroundinfo:
- Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional
- Windows XP (SP2)
- MS Word 2002
Thanks in advance!
BartDear Steve,
I have tried what u suggested: I put all the documents (word + linked documents) into the same folder on the local-drive (C). Then I recreated the links in the word document to be sure they were matching. After that I converted the word document to an PDF and confirmed the links were still working in the PDF document.
Then the biggest challenge: copying the pdf and linked documents to another drive&directory. As you can guess: Unfortunately the links did not work anymore.
Any other suggestions?
If I use the Evermap-tool (30 day-trial) I can look at the links and this is how it is 'coded' in the pdf.
first link: ../../../../test/link_a.pdf
second link: ../../../../test/link_b.pdf
and yes this will work if you put the documents in the directory test in the root of the local-drive but not in a different subdirectory.
Anyone ideas?
Grtz,

Edit a link in Acrobat MacIntosh
Ok, I give up. How do you edit a link in Acrobat MacIntosh? The link is the word "here" as in click here. So this is a text link I want to change. I am using 7.1.0.
You can't just bound an area and stop there. Decide what you want the link to do: Open a page in the current document, Open another file or Open a web page. For the latter, you must type in, or paste in, a complete URL (include the http://) and then close the dialog box. You should be able to single click in the new area to Open your newly established link. If you want the link area to have a different appearance, with the Link Tool still active, double click the new area and choose the Appearance tab and make your decisions and close the Properties box. There's not much else to it. Don

Use Acrobat Professional to make text editable in Adobe Reader
Hello,
I have a .pdf document that needs to be edited.
There are certain fields in the .pdf that needs to be editable in Adobe Reader.
For example; we need information from other companies in that .pdf.
It says "[company name]", can I make it in a certain way with Acrobat professional so that when our client clicks in that field it that he can type there.
Is this possible with Acrobat Professional?
Thank you!Thank you for your reply! It worked!
One more question (please also check the attached picture for this question): Can I make it in a way that the text moves when I type something longer then the box?
Thanks! -
Hi, I have Adobe Acrobat Professional. I need to know how to create multi-links on 300 page docs
I need to know how to create multi-links on a 300 page document, showing "return to main Menu". Ideally placed on the bottom right of each page. I have adobe acrobat Professional.
Import a picture to be a button, place it, activate HYPERLINK tool, draw a rectangle around the whole button, in the window popping up select the link behaviour, submit with OK.
Then copy & paste the button object to every page. I don't know whether pasting it on every of the 300 pages can be automated, but if not, it is still done quite fastly. -
Hi, how do I download the replace CS2 acrobat professional 7? I can't find a link for Mac. I reinstalled CS2 from adobe (as my old G4 Powerbook needed reinstalling), but it didn't install instal Acrobat or Distiller. Adobe don't seem to have any contact mechanism.
I put my old acrobat back onto my machine (from a backup made before reformatting) but it wants the box serial number. when I did that however, the replacement CS2 photoshop, etc, wouldn't work, so I had to install it again, but then, you guessed it - acrobat won't work again.Hello Alan,
Acrobat 7 is older version. Refer below link for more information and how to download.

Editing pdfs with Adobe Acrobat professional 9
So, I'm editing a pdf by using the "Edit page" option in Acrobat professional, which opens a temp file in Illustrator, where I'm able to make my changes, etc. Then when I save the temp file, and go back to the pdf file, the whole page has shifted to the right, even when the changes I made in illustrator looked okay after I saved it. It's when I go back to the pdf that everything seems to have shifted. I have no idea why this is happening, it seems like it's a new issue, never had this problem before doing the same thing. Has anyone had the same problem? And if so, how do I fix it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!With Acrobat active, go to About Acrobat. Does your popup look like this?
If so you have the latest version. -
I have tried to purchase Adobe Acrobat Professional XI this morning and payment (AED 1983.53) has been taken, I received a message stating there was/is a problem processing my order and that I should contact your customer service team in UAE. Having tried this, I was met with a recorded message, in Arabic, and no options to speak to anyone. I have found this process extremely frustrating and poor on your behalf. Not providing any options to speak to an Adobe representative is equally annoying. Please get back to me ASAP, as I need to use the product immediately.
CS2 is very old and reached its "end of life" a while back. So probably won't run on modern operating systems. If you can still run it, you'll need to uninstall what you have and re-install with the download link below to activate it.

How do I edit links on a document that can't be modified?
This is probably not the right way to put this question, because I was editing links to attached PDF files and then saved the main document to test the links. There was a problem with one link, but when I reopened the document to work on it, I could no longer edit the links. I checked security, and everything was greyed out and said the document could not be modified.
What did I do wrong? This is all in Acrobat 9. Thanks in advance for any help.Well, at long last, an answer. Thanks for the helpful suggestions. It did turn out to be a security problem.
The PDF/A idea turned out to be the right clue. The base document I was working with was a composite. I had taken one PDF file and added a two page PDF document on the front. As it turned out, the two page document added at the front was in PDF/A.
However, before I discovered that, I found a workaround. As long as I did a "save as" after adding links the document remained editable after reopening.
It was a hassle to "save as" every time I came to edit, but I needed to have the two page document on the front. I tried to print the two page document to PDF to get rid of the PDF/A, but that didn't work within Acrobat. I was finally able to get rid of the PDF/A by printing through the CutePDF driver.
Upon reflection, I think the reason my workaround worked was that the "save as" got rid of the PDF/A.
Thanks again for your suggestions. -
System Events not working correctly with Acrobat Professional
Hey Guys, I have a script that I have written that automatically enables security settings on a PDF through Acrobat Professional. Because of Acrobats poor scriptability I am forced into doing much though System Events.
This is not a major problem... however when activating some settings in the security settings, often warning Alert dialog boxes appear when you tell System Events to enable particular settings. These Alerts do not have a title... The only way I have been able to get the script to deal with them is with the following code:
if title of front window is "" then
tell front window
click button "OK"
end tell
end if
I guess this is an ok solution... bit hard to identify windows when they don't have titles...
BUT this is not my main problem. The main problem is that the script gets to one of these alert dialog boxes and just sits there... It sits there for like 10 seconds and then it performs the "click button "OK"" command.
This is a problem as there are like 3 of these instances and it really adds up. Can anybody help me... I am using Acrobat Professional 8.2.0 and the entire code is:
tell application "System Events"
try

click menu item "Properties..." of menu "File" of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1

Subject: Re: Acrobat Professional 7.0 not able to PDF documents
Yes! Thank you. I played around with it some and found that is the case, that I can PDF through the printer as well as bring the application up. I suppose it's just not install-able in full because it just cannot link up with Windows 7 in any capacity.
That's all the ability that I need at the present time. Nothing special, just whether it can or can't. Thanks!
