Embedding a pdf file in iWeb on a remote server

I am having no success in embedding a compressed/zip pdf file in my website using iWeb. When I upload the page it reverts the link of the file to www.apple.com/support -
If I add the same file in a new site on my mobileme account it works
Is it not possible to embed files on remotes servers using iWeb?
Would appreciate your feedback!

You can embed files this way using "Link to: A file" in the link inspector but this is not the best way as the file has to load with the web page and therefore slows the page download in the browser.
Create a download folder, put your zipped PDFs into it and upload it to your server. On the webpage, create a text of hyperlink to the file.....
http://www.website.com/DownloadFolder/FileName.pdf.zip
When clicked in the browser this link will cause the file to be downloaded to the viewer's desktop.

PDF files in iWeb

How can you put PDF files into iWeb so people can download and print them. (I am a teacher and want my students to be able to download my notes.)
Thanks for your help!

In general, you can hyperlink a file by setting it up in iWeb Inspector's Link tab as "Link To: A File. The following video tutorial shows an example of a PDF document being linked for downloading, but it can alternatively be an MP3 or other file:
http://www.apple.com/findouthow/web/iweb08.html#tutorial=nav
Note that you won't be able to test the hyperlink in iWeb itself — only after publishing will you be able to test the hyperlink in a browser.
A PDF hyperlinked in iWeb as "A File" will open in the current browser window/tab. At the bottom of this test page (not mine) there are a couple of text links to PDFs — click on them and see what happens...

...In Safari 3, you can move the cursor to the bottom of the PDF page to display a small black control window.

Embedding several PDF files into one using bookmarks

Hello, everyone.
My concern is about embedding some PDF files wherein there are bookmarks for each file to navigate through their chapters, sections, etc. using any PDF Viewer.
I want to embed these PDF files into an overall document which creates bookmarks to navigate through the embedded PDF files preserving the internal bookmarks of every PDF file.
Minimal bookmarks example:
File A
File B
Chapter 1
Section 1Figure of file A
Section 2
Prologue
Chapter 1
Section 1Figure of file B
Section 2
Prologue
Overall document
File A
Chapter 1
Section 1Figure of file A
Section 2
Prologue
File B
Chapter 1
Section 1Figure of file B
Section 2
Prologue
Which I am almost sure it can be done with Adobe® Acrobat but I do not know how to do it and I still do not manage to get it by myself. I would not prefer to do it by joining PDF files without bookmarks and recreate them because I have files with more than one hundred sections and chapters, it would be really troublesome besides I have not enough time to devote on it.
Thank you in advance to everyone.

Use Acrobat's Combine files feature (available in Acrobat XI Standard and Pro).
Be well...

field(256),
end of itab.
data: dsn(100) value '/usr/sap/xfr/FIS/testpdf',
length like sy-tabix,
lengthn like sy-tabix.
call function 'GUI_UPLOAD'

open dataset dsn for output in binary mode.

How to apply special right to the PDF file using the LiveCycle Rights Management Server.?

I want to edit bar code field data using Adobe Reader. Bar Code field was designed and data was changing using Acrobat X1 Professional (Trial Version). But can't do so in adobe reader.

I think that product has nothing to do with it. You would use LiveCycle Reader Extensions.

Unable to fetch data in embedded Xcelsius PDF file on disconnected system

I have an Xcelsius 2008 document with QaaWS. I am able to export it to the PDF and fetch data using QaaWS.
I would like to know, it is possible for the embedded Xcelsius file in PDF to fetch data when the PDF file is sent to customers outside the network.
We are using Business Objects XI 3.1, Xcelsius 2008, QaaWS, MS SQL Server 2008
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
When you send the PDF file for the dashboard you have created in Xcelsius, it takes it with the data available in embeded excel. You need not send the data separetly with the PDF.
However, if the data changes, you need to save the dashboard again in PDF format and send it to the user community.
Hope I answered your question.
Regards,
Rashmi

Cannot open embedded Adobe PDF files in Safari 5.1

I am disgusted to find that Apple has removed Safari's ability to open embedded PDF files in Safari 5.1. This is a huge mistake by Apple, and the only work around from Adobe was to use a different browser.
Get on the ball, Apple!!! Fix your MISTAKES!!!

Ah...this is an Adobe issue, not Apple.

Embedding a pdf file in 10g reports

Hello Dears,
I need to embed some pdf file into my .rdf report in 10g.
I have already done this in forms 10g through bean pdfviewer but i dont know how to do that in reports.
Please help

PDFs are technically media files which require a helper app like Acrobat Reader and plug-ins to launch the helper app inside a browser. Many people, myself included, do not have the plug-ins. Or if we do, we choose not to open PDFs in our browsers. System preferences vary from one user to the next. So embedding a PDF inside an iframe will fail to work for a large number of people.
The safest practice is to create a thumbnail image of the PDF to give visitors a visual clue about what it contains. Then provide a direct link to the PDF file. That's how adobe does it on their samples page.

Embedding a PDF file into PowerPoint 2010, clickable in SlideShow mode

If you embed a PDF file into PowerPoint slide by both draging and dropping or instering it as an object, only the first page of the PDF is embedded as a picture or you can change it to a PDF icon.
When in design mode, the embedded PDF is clickable and is opened in Adobe Reader (either from the PowerPoint slide if directly insterted or from its physical path if linked depending on the configuration).
But in slide show mode, the picture or the icon is not clickable.
The only workaround is to assign a hyperlink to the picture or the icon (the insterted object).
Is there any other way in opening a PDF file from PowerPoint Slide Show without assigning a hyperlink ??

Hi,
Assign a hyperlink is the only way to accomplish Open file (.pdf, .docx, .xlsx) from PowerPoint Slide Show.
From PowerPoint slide show, it only identify the file with hyperlink.
Best Regards.

Updating pdf files in iweb site

I have a site with several pdf files linked throughout the site. These pdf's get updated regularly, and I assumed that if I replace them with a new file named the same, it would update on the website. Strangely it does not.
The only way I can get the pdf links to go to the new document is to break the link and then re-establish it. Even though the old file doesn't exist any more (has been replaced), it still persistently shows up.
While I can continue to do this, it is tedious as multiple documents are linked on multiple pages throughout the site.
Have tried publish and publish all. Is their any way to force iweb to use the new pdf files, or is there a different way to link them in the first place?
The whole idea was so that multiple people could upload content to my public folder (schedules, lists, etc) in pdf and update the info without having to mess with the site.

Instead of creating a hyperlink and then choose a file, put the pdf(s) on the server yourself first.
Create a separate folder for them.
Then determine the URL(s) to the file(s).
In iWeb add a hyperlink *to an external page*. Use one of the URLs to the pdfs.
Now you can update the pdf without iWeb.

Yes you can, and I don't think you have to concern yourself with iDisk. Here's what iWeb's Help viewer says:
To create a hyperlink:
Select the text or object you want to turn into a hyperlink.
If the Link Inspector isn’t open, click Inspector in the toolbar (or choose View > Show Inspector), and then click the Link Inspector button.
In the Link Inspector, select “Enable as a hyperlink,” and then choose "A File" option from the Link To pop-up menu:
A File: Downloads a file to the visitor’s computer. (The file is part of your website; visitors won’t have access to your computer.)<<< </div>
...Choose your PDF file.
Note: The downloadability won't be apparant in iWeb - only when you've published the site will you be able to click on the link in a browser and test that the PDF downloads correctly.

How to show a multi-page PDF file on iweb?

Hi everyone,
I'm building a website where I am showing a catalog design I did for my previous company. It was designed using Indesign and exported into PDF file. Then I saved the first page as JPEG file, inserted the JPEG file into iweb, and then enabled the JPEG image as a link to the PDF file of the catalog. I thought by this way I can let future employers to download the PDF file and view my design work. However I figured if I put my website link on places like Monster.com, anybody can see it, download it, and just steal or print out my work. I realized this is not a right way to do since my previous company should have the right of the design work. Any suggestions? Is there anyway I can let viewers only view the PDF file on the web browser without being able to download it? How should I do to display the whole catalog in a neat wey using iweb? Thank you very much in advance!!

James I know you meant no harm, and I have to say if
it wasn't for you I wouldn't be this far in the game.
So if I have javascript on my website and your
company has javascript disabled, my site wouldn't be
very interesting to you on your work computer? What
is the benefit of disabling javascript?
Thanks. I'm glad I didn't cause any bad feelings.
My company is very paranoid when it comes to IT. I guess it's the common PC world where you are once bitten, twice shy. We just upgraded all of computers to Windows 2000 !!! haha.
I think there must be (or must have been at one time) some vulnerability associated with javascripts on websites and that's why it's disabled. Crazy, isn't it?
