Embedding links in a pdf?

Hi Folks,
I'm trying to create a pdf with links to various web sites but I have had no success when creating a pdf doc in Word. I'm using the Print dialog for saving as a pdf. (Using the Acrobat toolbar doesn't work because I don't have the Acrobat pdf printer, for some reason.)
I've searched through Acrobat tutorials and the forums but so far have had no luck. If you can make suggestions on how to do it, or what I am doing wrong, or if you know of a tutorial I can learn from, I'd sure appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks!

You will need to manually create using the link tool or if you're lucky
(and the destination URL is spelt out in the text) use Advanced /
Document Processing / Create from URLs option.
The PDF Maker on the Mac does not work the same as Windows ...

  • Links within a pdf won't open in Safari, but work fine on Explorer, Firefox

    I created a pdf with embedded links and posted it to my site. The links within the pdf work just fine with Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, but they will not open with Safari, neither on a Mac nor on a Windows platform.
    Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

    Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Try this. In the Safari window, click the Preferences icon right side of page.
    Then select the General tab.
    At the bottom of that window, below, "Open links from applications", choose the option you want.

  • Pdf links inside another Pdf doesn't work

    Hi,
    I am using Adobe Pdf Reader X(10.1.0). I am creating a PDF with html links embedded in it.
    Links to normal files works properly (Like server/idcontent/new/ir.html)
    But links to another pdf file doesn't work(Like server/idcontent/new/ir.pdf). When clicked on a .pdf link nothing happens. But where as other links works perfectly.
    Can any one help me whether I am missing any setting in my Adobe Reader.
    Thanks in advance.
    Ravi.

    How exactly are you creating these files?

  • Embedded link not showing up in Illustrator

    I had a client send me a word document as a pdf which I dropped into Illustrator to make it print ready. When I pulled the file into Illustrator, two of the embedded links, which happened to be the logo of said client, did not show up. The file is in the links panel and shows it as embedded, I can even see the bounding box when I hover over where the logos are supposed to be. However, when I open the file in adobe reader or acrobat, or even preview, those logos show up. Illustrator showed no errors and none of us caught it so it was printed without the logos.
    Is there an explanation for this and how can I check for it in the future just in case it happens again?

    You may need to get the embedded files from the person who authored the Word doc. and relink them to have them show up correctly. I'm not the biggest expert on Word but it may have something to do with the way the PDF was created from Word. Best way to prevent this from happening again would be to make sure if you have embedded files in a PDF you are opening in Illustrator that you address each one with caution. Select the links, one at a time in the links panel and click the go to link icon in the bottom of the links panel. This will highlight the link and zoom you into its location, if you see nothing, no graphic in the linked graphic area then you most likely need to get these graphics from the Word author and Relink them into the Illustrator file. Other possability would be to find out if there is a preset for PDF creation you could supply to the Word author that allows him/her to create PDF files that work for you.

  • Links problem in PDF (opened in web browser)

    Hi,
    I have a problem with the way Adobe reader works when it is embedded in Internet Explorer 7.
    The PDF is well opened but inside this PDF i have links to others PDF, this links doesn't work inside IE but when the PDF is opened inside Reader it works.
    Some precisions :
    - I have a set of PDF files with references in a hierarchy of directories on the machine
    - I have a root HTML file which is the entry point for the navigation through the PDF files set, a link in this HTML file open a PDF in the browser, then links to other PDF in the first PDF doesn't work
    - If i open the first PDF in Reader, links works
    - Inside the PDF the links seems to be File Links with relative paths
    - I think it's possible that there are security restrictions in Internet Explorer that inactive the links but i didn't found these options
    - i'ts also possible that when the first PDF is open, the current path is incorrect with the relative path of the link
    I have no solution with this problem.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks by advance
    Regards

    i do NOT think that it is a helpful answer .
    You may not think so, but it sounds like a very plausible explanation and a mighty good place to start looking.
    In your site definition settings, are your links relative to Document or Site Root?
    Which operating system are you using?
    Did you get all the latest updates for CS3 since re-installing?

  • Cant open links on my PDF files!

    It sucks because I am loosing a lot of time trying to figure this out. I been doing this for the last 3 months. The files I am trying to read are for school and I am losing a lot of good material that I have to self forage through this links. Please help. I dont understand why adobe will do something like this to not be able to open links in the pdf files

    They are not in the http://...etc  The links are embeded to the words. For example:
    Spiral Dynamics is one example amongst several (note the 'see also' section
    on this linked page) of a bio-psychological development
    All of the links that are in the book I am trying to read are like this. None of them are in the http:// format!
    thanks for your reply, I hope we can figure out how to fix this. I am going crazy..

  • Embedded Links that can't be deleted.

    I have several embedded links of an old image added onto my work, however several of the links could not be deleted and are invisible on the artwork. I can select them by using Go to Link but I cannot move them or delete them only resize it.
    How can I get rid of this as I don't want to risk it appearing when coming up for print?
    Thanks

    Turn off the preview to see where the images are. (You should see rectangles. You should also find them somewhere in the Layers stack)
    Check if anything is locked. (Object > Unlock All.)
    Check whether layers are locked, if so unlock them.
    Select the images (Links panel, click on link and then Go to Link button) and delete them.

  • Creating a link in a PDF form to open into a new window

    I have created the PDF form and every thing seems to be working fine. But I would like to set a link in the form that would open into a separate page. I have tried target="_blank" and onclick="window.open(this.href, 'child', 'scrollbars,width=650,height=600'); return false" with no success. Can someone give me some direction on how to create a link within a PDF form that will open into a new window?

  • Linking to a .pdf in Captivate 7

    Can I add a button to a quiz slide for linking to a .pdf? The button seems to work on the text slides; however, when adding that same button to a question slide, it doesn't work (the .pdf file won't open).

    It is possible to add a shape button to a question slide, only interactive
    object that is allowed.
    Have a look at my blog post about shape buttons on question/score slide: http://blog.lilybiri.com/want-a-button-on-question-slide-in-captivate

  • Can I create a custom table of contents and link to other .pdf files based on responses to a form?

    Hey Everyone! First post ever, so bear with me:
    I'm trying to create a streamlined method to use a form  to let myself and others add information and select certain options to put together a custom table of contents. Basically, I would like to have a form with a series of text fill and single/multiple choice options that will automatically populate a table of contents based on the selections and will link to other .pdf files that are associated with the selections. I was hoping this would be possible with a form, but I'm relatively new to the function of the software as a whole and my research came up short. Any suggestions on how to start are more than welcome, and if I wasn't quite clear enough I would be happy to elaborate.
    Thanks for your time!

    You would need to search for other PDF creation software that can accomplish what you desire.
    There are many cheaper  PDF creation alternatives other than Adobe's Acrobat Pro software.
    Also, try doing a web search under these terms to see if you can find an app/software/solution that may work for you.
    How to create table of contents in PDF files

  • Links to other PDF's broke in Preview but work with Adobe

    I have a users manual for my car that is made up of a PDF for each section of the manual. In Adobe and Preview, I can open any PDF, click on the different sections in that particular table of contents and go to that page in the PDF. Preview, however, doesn't go to the MAIN table of contents, which is in a different PDF. Anyone know if Preview can link to other PDF's and not just itself? It works fine with Adobe, but not Preview.
    Thanks

    I find I'm having the same problem, but not just with links to other PDFs. ALL links are non-functioning.
    The original document was created in Word, but all the links should work properly. I'm even unable to click on links wherein the text for the link is "http://example.address.com/page.htm"
    Considering we've got a district full of Macs, and the default program is Preview ( which is also so much faster to load) It would really be nice if these links worked.

  • How can I create a link to a pdf file and show it in the same webpage or in a new tab

    It is no problem to create a link. But the formats are limited and  - unbelievable -  the pdf format is not supported??!
    Where are the parameter (_blank or _self) to show it for example in the same webpage or in a new tab??!

    PDF is media.  It is not a web document.  Your end users must have plug-ins and helper apps installed on their device to see PDFs in browsers.  Depending on their settings, the PDF file may or may not launch in the browser window.  On my system, PDF files download and launch inside Acrobat Professional; not my browser.
    The safest approach is to provide a screenshot on your page with a direct link to the PDF file so people can handle it as they wish.  See example:  http://www.adobe.com/manufacturing/3dpdfsamples/3dsolutions/

    The steps would be :
    - Add files from file menu > select pdf > add to site
    - Select the content (rectangle,text etc) and click on hyperlink dropdown > it should show you the added files list
    - Select the file you want to link
    Thanks,
