Email links in Acrobat v8?

Can you set email address text to open as a new email in the user's preferred mail client in Acrobat v8?

The way to do it is when you create the new version of the PDF, go to the
old version and use the Replace Pages function to replace the old pages
with the new ones. That would preserve any links, form fields or comments
that you created.

    Can't find this option on the upgraded version of Acrobat. I asked this question before and did not receive an answer.

  • RE: creating email links on Acrobat...

    I know how to create a link in a PDF that will open up the viewer's email program w/ my address in teh send to bar...but nobody really uses email PROGRAMS anymore...it's all gmail, or yahoo, for example. Does anybody know a way to link to those kinds of email? Or maybe a better solution would be to link to something like Evite? Anybody have a good solution?

    Do you mean nobody uses outlook, thunderbird, ... ?

  • PDF from Word doesn't recognize email link subject

    PDFs created from Word contain my active website URL links and email links, but the email subject doesn't make the conversion for some reason. If I click the email link from within the Word document, Mail launches and addresses a new message, and the subject field is filled out properly. But the resulting PDF will only create and address a new mail message, leaving the subject field blank.
    As problems go, it ain't the end of the world, but it would be great to receive email that I know was generated by my brochure.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    D'OH!
    BD, has anyone ever held a parade in your honor?
    It took me about three hours to conceive and do the layout for this flyer. Then another 5 hours trying to get it to convert properly into a PDF. When it didn't convert correctly from Word, I fired up Classic, launched an old version of Quark XPress and recomposed the flyer. But when I tried to export it to PDF, Acrobat Distiller (remember that?) just sat and spun its wheels. It did spit out a Postscript file, but it wouldn't actually make the PDF for some reason. Never even generated an error. Then, I accidentally double-clicked the Postscript file, and Preview launched as said it was making a PDF. I was a happy camper... until I discovered that this PDF was cut off on both the top and bottom.
    Then I checked my email and found you had answered my cry for help (yet again).
    When I followed your instructions (which I did try to find on my own before posting my plea), the PDF came out perfectly on the first try.
    My thanks to you for what must be by now the 85th time.

  • Email links won't open in Safari - keeps resetting to Mail

    OS X Mavericks
    Safari 7.0
    Mail 7.0
    My email links in Safari were opening in Chrome. I opened Mail, went to Mail > Preferences > General and changed 'Default email reader' to Safari. Then my email links opened in Mail! Went back to Mail > Preferences and it was reset back to Mail. Safari will not stick. I changed it to Firefox, that stuck. I set it back to Google Chrome, that stuck. But when I set it to Safari, it sticks only as long until I click on an email link in any browser, then it resets back to Mail.

    Do you have Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat Pro installed? If so, that is the problem.
    You need to quit Safari, start the applicable program(s) you have, go to Preferences > Internet and uncheck the box where it says "Display PDF in browser using:". Then go to Users/username/Library/Internet Plug-Ins and remove the Adobe PDF plugin. Restart Safari and try view a PDF in the browser.

  • HELP!  Exporting pdf issues - no email links and gray boxes around text

    I'm a newbie to indesign, and trying to learn the program as I go.  I need to export my pdf for onscreen viewing.  When I "print" it works, but I get no email links, and those annoying white lines here and there.  I read that exporting would solve the email link issue, but it opened another can of worms for my project.  Now all my graphics have black or gray boxes across them, almost like censor boxes.  But my email links work. 
       Learning Adobe is like learning a new language, and I have far from mastered it.  So when I exported, I used the lowest resolution presets, assuming it knew what worked better than I did.  After dozens of unsuccessful exports, can someone please help??
         Also, I've been reading posts that say to convert all spots to color to resolve the white line issue.  But it's grayed out in the ink manager.  What is the secret to unlock it?
    Thank you!!

    Thank you for any and all help!
    I have CS5.5, running on windows 7.  It is up to date as of 1 month ago.  Here's a sample of my problem pages.  Also, a screen shot of what it should look like.  My guess is it has something to do with the transparencies, since it's 2+ layers of embossed objects.  If I export in Acrobat 4 (1.3) these boxes don't happen. But then I get the thin white lines across my graphics, and no email links.  As for spot colors, I confess complete ignorance on all color issues,  but  I'm trying to learn as I go.  How can I export this correctly?

  • Stop automatic creation of email links when @ is used

    Hi all -
    I need to use the @ symbol in a number of places in my PDF files - Unfortunately, the conversion to PDF process always calls words with @ symbols in front of them email links.
    I've gotten around it by bracketing the symbol, but the use of the symbol refers to a SQL Server parameter or variable, with @sName being correct and [@]sName being incorrect.
    Help!
    Karen

    Do you want this to affect you or other people?
    Bernd's method stops it happening on your machine but it will still happen to anyone else opening the file. In order to break the pattern-recognition in Acrobat or Adobe Reader the best way is to insert a hair space after the @ symbol (a hair space is effectively invisible to the human eye).

  • Importing long list of email links

    I have a PDF that has a long list of email addresses I need to post.
    I'd rather not retype them all or link tham all, so is there a way that I can import this, where the links will remain in place and work?
    thanks

    Are you absolutely sure you want to post a list of email links?
    Email addresses listed this way online are typically harvested by spam bots for inclusion on wonderful discount offers on Viagra and other "male enhancements" among other less than useful email marketing campaigns.
    From Acrobat Pro, you should be able to export as HTML. Open that file in DW, then copy the links/text from the generated file into the html of your page. Don't copy the whole page though. If I recall correctly, it produces some iffy code that you wouldn't want.

  • EMail Link in SWF exported from InD CS5 does not work

    I'm trying to find a definitive answer on this. I have designed an interactive document in InD CS5 that has buttons and hyperlinks. When exported to SWF everything works except my e-mail hyperlink. It works fine in InDesign's preview pane. I've uploaded the file to my webserver for testing, the problem still occurs.
    I found one post in another forum that quoted an Adobe InD developer stating that as of CS4 email links were not exported. However, I've not been able to find any mention of whether this works in CS5 or not.
    Does anybody know for sure whether or not email links work in SWF files exported from CS5?

    Sorry, no offense was intended. I had found references to problems with CS4, but nothing about CS5, and said as much in my post -- was frustrated that I had spent a long time looking and hadn't found any responses yet.
    You mentioned using buttons rather than hyperlinks, and that worked for me -- but it might have just been a problem with my browser not properly reloading the flash file, too -- as I mentioned in my response.
    But in any case, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUGGESTION!

  • When I click on an email link in Firefox, I get a message in the far left corner of my screen that says "mail to:email address". Outlook doesn't open up like it does in Internet Explorer. I've set Outlook as my default email in Windows 7.

  • When I try to send a webpage in Firefox (file-email link), Thunderbird crashes. If I copy & paste same link by hand, it works. Why is this?

    When I try to send a web link in Firefox (file-email link), Thunderbird hangs, or I should say the email with the link hangs. The new email shows the link, I add an email address and click send, Thunderbird hangs and never completes the send. I have to copy and paste the link by hand in a new email and then it works. It seems to be an issue regarding how Firefox and Thunderbird are communicating.
    My server uses IMAP. I don't have this problem with POP, but I prefer to use IMAP.
    Thanks for any help!

    Is that the exact message that Outlooks gives you?
    Anyway, why don't you just forward the original link to the document, instead of the PDF itself?

  • With no Firefox window open, I can't launch a new one. Or click on an email link and launch a window. This started when I upgraded to 5. Now I downgraded to 4 again and problem persists

    I upgraded to Firefox 5, then noticed when a window was open I couldn't launch another one. Or launch into Firefox off an email link. Or open a new window if there was none open.
    So I downgraded back to 4. Problem persists.

    Uninstall the ones you know about, yes.
    As regards the others, it's difficult to say. All you can do is to disable them all via Safe Mode (checkmark "Disable all add-ons", then "Make changes and restart") and then re-enable them one by one checking each time until the problem recurs. Laborious I know, but the only sound way of doing it I'm afraid.

  • When I click on an email link it opens in the email window instead of opening a new window, how to get it to open a new window instead

    It's Comcast email, most links are to articles from the Wall Street Journal. Lately an email from Charles Schwab broker with a link to a pdf file has been doing the same. When I click on the link, it opens within the email frame, which is about 1/3 filled up with the toolbar, mailboxes, headings etc. If it opens with 2 bars on the right side to move down, I can see the whole article, but often it opens with only one bar on the right side which will not let me get all the way to the end of the page.
    It's been happening for several weeks. I got a new computer and it's still happening. Comcast sounds like they've never heard of it. Most recently happened today. I tried the same email link with IE and it opened a new window.

    Firefox sent an email to me to confirm that I had asked the above question. The email had a link to click. When I clicked it from Firefox, nothing happened. Then I opened IE, signed into Comcast, opened the email, clicked the link, and it brought me here.

  • TS3276 i am unable to open web pages from email links on my ipad

    I am unable to open web pages from email links on my ipad

    A few more details might help, if nobody else recognizes this.   
    What happens when you try to open the links?
    Can you post an example of a link that doesn't work?
    Is there any particular source for the mail with the (bad) links, or is mail from all sources failing?
    If you happen to know it, what's the format of the mail message?  (Maybe the message is an image?)
    Do the embedded links work as expected from an OS X system running Mail.app, or some system and some other other mail client?
    To view the link in iOS: if you press on and hold your finger on an embedded link in most contexts, iOS will show a pop-up with the link contents, and will offer to copy it.  You can use that to acquire and post the link.  If pressing and holding on the link doesn't offer the pop-up, the format of the link itself may not be valid, or it might not really be a link.

  • Clicking email-links doesn't open "new message" window

    Hi,
    When I click email links, safari doesn't take me to the "new message" window. It activates safari: the program comes on in the dock and the text next to the apple logo changes to "mail", but I don't get the "new message" window

    You're welcome. Glad to have helped.
