Embedded mms-links change to open file-links when converting .doc to pdf

When converting word documents to pdf, all of my embedded video mms-links change to local open-file type links while my http-links keep their address. Why is this?
Since I've got about 600 of them I'm not too keen on changing them all back in Acrobat.
The links look like this in word:
mms://something.com/videos/file.wmv
But turns out like this after conversion:
Z:\catalog\mms:\something.com\videos\file.wmv
Notice the switch of slashes from / to \ after conversion.
Anyone got a clue?
Thanks!

Hi!
My versions are:
Word 2007 and/or Word 2003 and Adobe 9.1.0.163
I think I solved it using this add-in:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=4d951911-3e7e-4ae6 -b059-a2e79ed87041
and saving the .doc-files as .docx-files in word 2007 before saving them as .pdf, using the add-in.
Thanks anyway!

Same as source file name when converting .msg to PDF

Hello,
When I right click a Word document and choose to convert it to an Adobe PDF file it takes a few seconds and asks me where to save it, not only this but it pre-populates the file name to match the original Word document, but obviously when saved if will be a PDF file - brilliant.
I have a folder structure with hundreds of *.msg files (Outlook email messages). When I do the same as the above the file name is not pre-populated, it is simply called "Memo Style.pdf", which in-turn means I can't batch the process easily either.
I checked the PDF Conversion settings in the Adobe ribbon menu in Outlook, however there is no setting to not prompt for a file name.
What makes this a little worse is the client is adamant this never used to happen and I can see evidence of this.
HELP!
Regards
J

Hello, I'm away from the computer right now. But I have lots of .msg files in a folder, I'm right clicking them in Windows explorer and selecting "Convert to Adobe PDF", when this is selected it triggers Outlook and starts converting the message to PDF, but it pre-populates the name as "Memo Style.pdf" which is a real pain and the client says this never used to be the case. We ideally want to do this in bulk, keeping the name it has before, but with the new .pdf extension - again the client says this used to be possible.
Outlook Adobe add-in conversion settings to follow as well as exact Outlook and Adobe Standard version numbers...

Firefox opens file:// links instead of application

I set Windows explorer.exe to open file:// links, such as folders. Instead, Firefox opens them in a tab. How can I force them to be opened by the external application?

I found solution: set
"network.protocol-handler.expose.file=false" to not be opened in FF;
"network.protocol-handler.external.file=true" to allow external app;
"noscript.fixURI=false" to not overwrite ".expose." settings by NoScript AddOn.

Can't open file:///-Links in Messages or Mail (Adium is working)

In 10.9 opening of file:///-Links was no problem with PathFinder. After upgrading I can't open file:///-Links in Messages or Mail. Only Adium is still working. What can I do to enable it again? Or did Apple stopped supporting the file:///-Protocol? Best regards Michael

Left click on a link does not open the link; a small blue window opens saying loading then closes.

Left click on any link in a web page does not open the link. A very small blue window appears with the word loading and a few moving dots. In a few seconds the blue window closes but the link does not open. Links used to open. If I right click the link, I can open the link in a new window. Many new windows pile up. This is a nuisance.
I am using Firefox 3.6.8 for Canonical 1.0 in Ubuntu 9.10.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

When clicking File on top of this page a dropdown box shows Open File and when doing so many old downloads are there. How can I delete the entire batch at once.

When I click on Filed(in upper left hand corner of screen) a drop down box appears which includes several choices including Open File. When I click on Open File it shows many old downloads which I don't want or need to save. I can delete them individually but there are many many of them. Can someone give me guidance on how to deleter them all at one time. Thanks my friends.

hello cardavfl, i think in the open file dialog in the windows file picker you only can select one item at a time.
it would be better to look at the top of the file dialog ("look in:") where this folder is located on your harddrive & then use windows explorer & go to this path - then you can press ctrl+a to select all items at once (or use the mouse to select them all) and to delete them ...

When converting word to PDF and reducing the size, the formatting changes how can i keep the format but reduce the size?

When converting word to PDF and reducing the size, the formatting changes how can i keep the format but reduce the size?

The original file is 32 MB:
15 MB is images
15 MB is Content stream
2 MB is everything else
After the PDF/A-1B save as:
The file is 182 MB
Almost 100% is Images
It is an architecture portfolio with many complex images. Is there a setting when I change to PDF/A that can limit the growth of the image files?

I set firefox to open a filetype (.SGF) w/ a program but it doesn't, so I set it to save/ask and neither option works, it always opens file link in a new tab.

I've gone into the Options and set the .SGF file to open with Smartgo. It refuses to do that. Clicking on a link to a .SGF file simply opens the file as text in a new tab.
Since this didn't work, I tried to set firefox to download it instead, because then I can use the window's filetype associations to open it. It won't download the file unless I actually right-click and save-as on the link.
This is tedious when viewing lots of these files. I even set it to Ask me after I saw the the Download option didn't work. It doesn't Ask me. What is going on here?
Also I am using firefox 23
EDIT: It seems to be website specific. Some websites will allow me the option to open it in Smartgo, others will just open it in a tab as text. What is causing this discrepancy and can it be surmounted through browser settings?
An example website to showcase the issue is:
http://igokisen.web.fc2.com/wr/lg.html
clicking on any of these links will not download, open, or ask about what you want to do with the file.

That happens if the server sends the file as text/plain.
You can see this if you open "Tools > Page Info > General": Content-Type: text/plain
Files send this way will always open in a tab.

SVG file with links to other SVG files - links don't work

I have an SVG image with a few dozen linked images, all of which are pointing to external SVG files. If I open the main SVG in a web browser, it loads up correctly with all the linked images, so I know the file is correct.
When I open it in illustrator, I get the following message:
Could not find a plug-in to read the linked file "test.svg". Choose Replace to select another file or Ignore to leave the link unchanged.
If I choose Ignore, the file loads up but the linked SVGs are removed. Obviously Illustrator doesn't really need a plugin to read an SVG file, because it loads the main SVG with no problem.
Meanwhile I have other links pointing to PNG files which all work fine. In fact I can open the main SVG, find one of the PNG links, and click Re-Link, and then link them to an SVG, and this will work! Although it doesn't work as desired, instead of making a link, it seems to import the external SVG's layers, which is not desired.
I'm pretty sure it's just one of those things that will never work, but does anyone have any thoughts on making it work?
FYI here's some source code from the main SVG, where it links to the external SVG:
<image overflow="visible" width="420" height="300" id="_x30_1_13_" xlink:href="images\graphics\SVG\test.svg" transform="matrix(0.2534 0 0 0.2534 438.8486 458.8145)">
</image>
this link, to a PNG, works just fine:
<image overflow="visible" width="420" height="300" id="_x30_1_14_" xlink:href="images\graphics\211.png" transform="matrix(0.2534 0 0 0.2534 246.3306 458.8145)">
</image>
and like I said, both links work fine when the main SVG is opened in a web browser.

I think the problem is that illustrator just isn't capable of linking to an SVG from within an SVG. Try it yourself with two very simple files, I just did.
create a "main.svg" with just a line
create a "link.svg" with another line
save a copy of link.svg as link.png (using export to web)
-- now you have three files, put them all in the same directory just to make life easy
in main.svg, file >> place >> link.png
-- illustrator will place the PNG as a linked image
in main.svg, file >> place >> link.svg
-- illustrator will import layers from the SVG, it will not place it as a linked image
If you save this file and open in a text editor, you'll see your image link to the PNG file, and you'll see two <line/> elements, one that you had in main.svg and another that you had in link.svg (it has now been imported into main.svg)
In the text editor, try duplicating the image link, and change the href of your duplicate to link.svg, then save.
Re-open main.svg in illustrator. It should give you the error message about the linked svg, the same one I saw originally.
I did all this using CS6. Then I tried opening the final main.svg file in CC and saw the same error message.

I can't change the "open file" directory location

I've got a new installation of version HomeSite 5, which
works really well except that I cannot get the Open File dialog box
to go to the last directory I opened. So EVERY single time I want
to, say, get a graphic from a directory, I have to double click my
way down the path to reach the same directory I just picked up a
previous file from. It doesn't seem to matter whether I have
checked "Start in the folder last opened in the Files tab" or
"Start in the folder last opened in the file open dialog." The
"Always start in this folder" DOES work -- but that's not
sufficient.
Is there somewhere else I need to change or check something
to get the Open File to always open in the directory I last
opened?! (REALLY frustrating!)
Thanks, Elenor

Not sure if this will help - you can dock 2 panes for files.
If I am working with a large site I will sometimes do the code work
in #1 open an images directory in #2.
Hope that helps!

How can I change the default "file type" in the open file dialog when using Firefox on certain web pages?

I work for a bankruptcy attorney. We use the Court's file upload to file our documents. When I am on the Court's site and I have to pick a file to upload, the "open file" dialog box pops up. In Firefox, the default "file type" is always "image" files. I need it to be "all files". How can I change this setting?

Two observations.
First — "Tools-> ...." is specific to Acrobat X and XI. It did not exist prior to Acrobat X.
Second — Acrobat 9 Pro / Standard (nor earlier release) does not support viewing a PDF page containing a scanned image and performing a right-click ... Save Image As.
The context menu provided by Acrobat 9 Pro with a right-click on a scanned image is:
The context menu,from a right-click with the TouchUp Object tool selected, for Acrobat 9 Pro is:
So, to paraphrase what Paul Harvey used to say ... What's the rest of the story?
Be well...

Firefox opens links in currently open tab, even when in other application (aka: FireFox doesnt open link in new tab)

Firefox opens every link from external applications (for example Windows Live Messenger) in the tab which was last open/is currently open.
This is extremely annoying.
I quadrupple checked the settings, but cant find anything.
Please help
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Since the beginning

The setting in "Tools > Options > Tabs" only works for links that would open in a new window.<br />
That option allow you to divert such calls to a new tab.<br />
For other links you either have to use a middle click or a Ctrl + left click or use the context menu.

Changing default open file location

Hi all,
In Outlook 2010, is there anyway to change the default folder that is opened by explorer when you want to open any pst files?
I have tried the registry changes listed in other forums but this only changes the default save location. I have managed to change the default open location for Word, Excel etc but not Outlook.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Hi,
Do you mean you want to change the default location when you click File > Open > Open Outlook Data File?
We can achieve this goal by modifying the registry, I managed to do this in my environment. Please follow the steps below:
Note: Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. For added protection,
back up the registry before you modify it.
Locate the registry path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook
Add the ForcePSTPath registry value:
Value name: ForcePSTPath
Value type: REG_EXPAND_SZ
Value: path to your storage folder
Restart your Outlook to check the result.

Links in converted DOC to PDF not working properly

I need to convert a word doc to PDF and retain the hyperlinks. The links all point to PDF documents in other folders. When I convert the word doc to PDF through word's 'save as' or PDF export, the links get update to web URL-like links that open the PDF document in a web browser. Is there a way to preserve the links so that they still open the PDFs in adobe and not a web browser?

Hey domallavena,
Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat are you using.
In order to open the PDF links in Acrobat only (not web browser), you will need to change settings of link by choosing "Tools> Content Editing> Add or Edit Link" Now, right-click on that link and choose Properties from the context menu.
Then, select 'Open a file' option to choose the file that you want to open when clicking on that link.
Specify open preferences whether you wish to open the file in new window or existing one and save the PDF.
Try this way and let me know how it goes.
Regards,
Anubha
