Erratic hyperlinks creation
Windows XP - Word 2003 - Acrobat 8.1.0
I routinely use Acrobat to concert Word documents in PDF, including hyperlinks to external PDF files; this used to work very well.
However, this suddenly started to work in a completely erratic (non reproducible) manner. Sometimes links are created, sometimes not, sometimes only some links are created and some others not. The strange thing is that it stopped working properly without changing any option in my configuration.
Did anyone notice a similar behavior?
Can anyone help?
Thanks for your help.

Hi, does anyone have some clue about it ?

I have windows XP. It has always automatically become a hyperlink when I hit the space bar after typing it out. I know about the icon in the toolbar that lets me make one, but I don't want to have to do this since I never had to before. I want to make it work automatically again.
First, you are running Firefox 7, which is EXTREMELY Old and Insecure, which not only leaves you open to many known bugs, but to dozens of known security issues which can be exploited to compromise your personal data.
So, your first step is going to be to upgrade to Firefox 15.0.1. [[Update Firefox to the latest version]].
After that, does Yahoo Work properly? -

Hi all,
I'm a Frame AND scripting noob. I'm migrating several long docs from Word to Frame 10. I'd like to figure out how to automagically ID and add hyperlinks to URLs written in plain text after conversion. This sounds like a job for ExtendScript.
My mental model looks like this:
1. Wildcard search for "www.*" or similar;
2. Copy url text;
3. Open HYPERTEXT toolbar in Frame UI;
4. Set 'Command:' to 'Go to URL';
5. Paste 'http://' and copied URL text into box;
Pretty simple non paper, but is this feasible using JScript or EScript? Thanks in advance!Mugg,
You have to change your mental model from being too close to the UI. It would work like this:
1. Wildcard search for "www.*" or similar; or: use the current selection
2. Copy url text; no need to use the clipboard, just store it in a variable
3. insert a marker of type "Hypertext" at the start of the text range
4. set marker text to "message URL http://" + stored website.
5. apply a character format to the text range from marker until end of found/selected text.
The last step limits the "hot" area to that range.
Now, go ahead!

[CS3 JS] How To Create Hyperlinks In InCopy?
I have a client that wants to be able to author hyperlinks in InCopy, both links to named targets as well as links to URLs.
It appears that the InCopy scripting object model does not include the hyperlink-related objects from the InDesign model, even those those objects can be found in an INCX document if a link is created within an InCopy article within InDesign.
I'm trying to figure out what the best/quickest solution is given that I can't do it using scripting. I have already implemented a hyperlink creation dialog that emulates the InDesign New Hyperlink dialog.
Unfortunately, I cannot assume or require that the InCopy users have InDesign installed. If I did I could just create a temporary InDesign doc that linked the InCopy article, create the link there, then save and update the InCopy article.
Given that, I'm not sure how best to go about this.
The ideas I've come up with so far are:
1. Don't create real hyperlinks but use Note objects to capture the hyperlink source and target information. This would satisfy the client's requirement to be able to transform the links on conversion of the InCopy data to XML but wouldn't result in working InDesign hyperlinks.
2. Modify the INCX document directly to add the appropriate hyperlink objects then reload it as part of the hyperlink creation process. Ugly but should work.
3. Use XML markup in InCopy to represent the hyperlinks. I don't like this as much as the Note option because it's less obvious to authors what's going on and is easier for authors to mess up accidentally when they are editing.
4. Implement a full-on InCopy plugin. This is really beyond my current capabilities and the scope of the project.
5. Log a bug against InCopy to request that the hyperlink objects be added to the API. (Probably not going to give me a result in the time I need, even if it's an appropriate thing to do.)
6. ???
Is there some trick or back-door mechanism I've missed that I can use through InCopy scripting?
Thanks,
Eliot Kimber
Really Strategies, Inc.I did this from the advanced menu to make all hyperlinks work. All I got were boxes around my links that are not clikcable to the web page.
Now I cannot undo this. -
How can I get Firefox to automatically recognize and connect a hyperlink in my messages?
When I used Internet Explorer (previously), it automatically identified web sites and email addresses that I entered in my outgoing messages and made them "live." Does Firefox have that capability? If so, how do I activate it?
Thank you. I do know about the button, and have used it. But Internet Explorer created the links automatically - I guess it "recognized" the configuration (perhaps the "www."?) and entered the link as soon as a space was placed after the URL. I was hoping Firefox could do the same thing, but apparently not. If anyone else has further ideas, I'd still like to hear if an automatic hyperlink creation is possible.

Insert String to JTextPane as hyperlink
Hi,
I have a JTabbedPane with 2 tabs, on each tab is one panel.
On first pannel I add JTextPane and I would like to insert in this JTextPane some hyperlinks.
I found some examples in forum, but doesn't work for me.
Could somebody help me ?
Thank's.
Here is my code :
JTextPane textPane = new JTextPane();
textPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500,300));
HTMLEditorKit m_kit = new HTMLEditorKit();
textPane.setEditorKit(m_kit);
StyledDocument m_doc = textPane.getStyledDocument();
textPane.setEditable(false); // only then hyperlinks will work
panel1.add( textPane,BorderLayout.CENTER); //add textPane to panel of
//JTabbedPane
String s = new String("http://google.com");
SimpleAttributeSet attr2 = new SimpleAttributeSet();
attr2.addAttribute(StyleConstants.NameAttribute, HTML.Tag.A);
attr2.addAttribute(HTML.Attribute.HREF, s);
try{
m_doc.insertString(m_doc.getLength(), s, attr2);
}catch(Exception excp){};
The String s is displayed like text not like hyperlink..Hi , You can take a look at this code , this code inserts a string into a StyledDocument in a JTextPane as a hyperlink and on clicking fires the URL on the browser.

}Here , what I have done is associated a mouseListener and a mouseMotionListener with the JTextPane and I have created the hyperlink look with a Style of blue color and underline and have added the LINK_ATTRIBUTE to that Style which takes care of listening to mouse clicks and mouse motion.
The browser can be started in windows using the default FileProtocolHandler using rundll32 and in Unix/Sun we have to take a wild guess at which browser could be installed , the first browser encountered is started , in Mac open command takes care of starting the browser.
Hope this is useful. -
JS CS3 Automate Creation of Hyperlinks - Repost?
Hi all,
A while back, Olav Kvern posted a JavaScript to automate the creation of hyperlinks for CS3. someone repost the code? The posting has expired on the site.
Thank you so much!To add to this, I'm a little stumped on two items for this. First, I want to apply a character style to the made hyperlinks. I'm wondering where I would place the code for applyStyle?
Second, at the moment, there is one regular expression that finds URL's beginning with http or https...but if I wanted to enter multiple Regular Expressions for different criteria, how would I do this? I tried:
var myRegExp = /\b(https?|ftp|file):\/\/[-A-Za-z0-9+&@#\/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[-A-Za-z0-9+&@#\/%=~_|]/gi
var myURLPrefix = "";
var myURLSuffix = ""
var myRegExp = /\b[A-Za-z0-9._%-]+@(?:[A-Za-z0-9-]+\.)+[A-Za-z]{2,4}\b/gi
var myURLPrefix = "mailto:";
var myURLSuffix = ""
* followed by the remainder of the code, however, it will only work for the last RegExp that I input. How would I do multiple criteria without having to do an individual script for each?
THANK YOU!

Creation of Hyperlink to navigate to taget view
Hi Friends,
I have a requirement Can you pls help me out.
The Requirement is:
Based on Ouput of BTQR1Order( i.e Object Id Hyperlink ) I need to fetch the data of BTQSrvOrd by Object id.
I had used the code from the link

lv_guid = '467185D10C2E1E58E10000000A42145A'. :" I had passed the Guid
Get the Root entity
lr_entity ?= lr_core->get_root_entity( iv_object_name = 'Trade' " Can anyone help me that the significance of it
iv_object_guid = lv_guid ).
" In lr_desc_object i am only getting the guid but not the data

Edited by: raja reddy on Jun 14, 2010 8:28 AMI've responded to you in another thread too. Reposting here for others.
You are correct. A pre-formatted top row just applies the formatting to make the urls appear clickable but are not truly clickable. Also, using a derived column transformation to form the HYPERLINK formula string just puts it as normal text.
I've written a blog post with a workaround. Could you see if that suffice your requirement?

JS for search and creation of automated hyperlinks from the results
Hi,
Is it possible to create a javascript that searches a PDF document for a part of phrase (with regexp) and then creates a hyperlink of the whole row where the phrase is?
I'll explain a little bit more....
In a PDF catalog I have part numbers of 10 digits that always starts with "5010" and then there's a short describing text of the product and finally a price at the end. The part no and the short description is separated with two spaces and a "pipe" (|) and so is also the price separated from the describing text.
Example: 5010101538 | This is the describing text for the product | $4996
Now, I want create a hyperlink to my website so each product row is clickable in Acrobat. The link is static at first and at the end the product no (10 digits) comes. After the product no there is also the extension .aspx (http://www.myweb.com/pd_5010.......aspx.
I know that this should be done at the creative stage but the DB connection plugin for the parts does not support url linking in InDesign..... so I'm stuck with Acrobat for my 900 links that needs to be created. ;)
Since I'm new to JS in Acrobat I hope there is help out there!
Kindly

Image hyperlink issues in PDF creation using Acrobat 9.0
Hi All,
I am using Acrobat 9.0 Professional for creating a PDF of a web site hosted on my local IIS server. All the web pages contain:
1. A single large image and some description text.
2. Few hyperlinks mapped to the various areas/locations of the image. The hyperlink is visible when user moves the mouse cursor to that specific area/location on the image.
These hyperlinks work correctly when the web page is viewed in any browser but when the web site is converted to PDF, we observed the following problems with the image hyperlinks:
1. The hyperlink area (rectangular) on the image is shifted from its original position.
2. The hyperlink area (rectangular) on the image grows bigger than its original size.
(The original position and size here means the position and size of the hyperlink as on the web page respectively).
Surprisingly these issues do not occur if a PDF is generated of the same web site using Acrobat 8.1.0 Professional.
I searched the Adobe website for any service pack/updates that could resolve this issue in Acrobat 9.0 Professional but could not find any.
I will be really thankful for any help provided.
Regards,
Santosh.In my case it's with .puz files, which are crossword puzzle files used by sites like the New York Times and read by the application AcrossLite. I went into preferences and tried to change the action for the file type from "Save File" to AcrossLite but it would not take. Set it instead to "Always Ask" and then in the dialogue box selected AcrossLite and "always do this" and it gave an unknown error.

i want to create hyperlink at run time in my jsf page according to the privileges of user.these links can be one,two.three,etc according to user privileges.for this i have created a jsf page using sun studio creator.when user login and there login is correct my programe forward the user to this page.
this is the code which i am using in the backing bean of this page.i call this method in the constructor of this backing bean.but it is not working
can any body tell me what is wrong with page or in code.
public void createLinks()
FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
Application app = fc.getApplication();
UIViewRoot viewRoot = fc.getViewRoot();
HtmlOutputLink link = (HtmlOutputLink)app.createComponent(HtmlOutputLink.COMPONENT_TYPE);
link.setId("link");
link.setRendered(true);
viewRoot.findComponent("form1").getChildren().add(link);
}where form1 is the id of the html form in this page.links are not rendring in the page.
thanksThe UIViewRoot is empty during the instantiation of the managed bean.
Just bind the h:form to the backing bean and call the method in the setter. This will be called once per session. Eventually put it in the getter with an conditional expression if you want it be refreshed during every view.

public HtmlForm getForm() {
return form;
public void setForm(HtmlForm form) {

Hyperlink behaving erratically
Hey, Guys...Check out this link to a page I made:
http://www.peelslowly.com/altobello-christmas-in-south-jersey/christmas-in-sj-TE ST.html
I'm getting bunched up in knots over the line "Click HERE to zoom." The graphics are identical except that that bottom line is lower on the one on the right than it is on the one on the left. However, the hyperlink on the left isn't "hot" until you roll over the lower part of it.
Why will it work only when it is lower? Is there something about it's proximity to the hyperlinks above it that's making it behave so funky?
Thanks!Thanks for the prompt response again!
Yes, I realised I have to go to the symbols and then set that to %. Didn't know that can be done
Thanks heaps! It is working!
Another question, which I have posted in another post, I do have problems working with the jQuery animate() function. I have tred to implement CSS3 filters using the animate() function in jQuery but it does not seem to be working. I know presently only Chrome supports this sets of filter. An example of what I had done for the mouseOver handler :
sym.$("thumb1").animate(
"-webkit-filter":"sepia(100%)"
}, 250
Is there anything that is missing?
Thanks and greatly appreciate! -
Create Hyperlinks that open in new tab or window?!
Hello,
Ok, so, this has been asked other times for many versions of InDesign and most common response is to do it in Acrobat Pro. WHY?!!!! I couldn't even easily figure out how to do it there and frankly, don't want to. That seems so backwards and tedious to have to do...seriously. How is this not an option in InDesign Hyperlink edit creation/options yet?!! It is SO simple. Please tell me I'm missing something... I love Adobe products and especially CC products that are getting better and more time saving...but this is so dumb, I'm sorry. I'm no smarty software engineer but I know what user friendly is and how things should work for everyone...and it seems like an easy thing to make possible. Many people create PDF's in InDesign for viewing/downloading in a browser and this needs to be an option with-in InDesign CC. Simple as that. When the PDF is opened in Acrobat the links do open in new tab/window but NOT when it is viewed in a browser. This is why I should or maybe shouldn't work for Adobe, I wouldn't let little things like this, that actually makes a big difference in user experience, go unnoticed and unchanged over so many new releases and updates...or ever be taken away. I guess I'll put in an InDesign CC features request...
Thanks to anyone who agrees and relays...or lets me know I'm missing something.
