Excel Hyperlinks

How do I change the preferences to have the hyperlink to open only one IE window instead of opening two IE windows with the same information?

Hi,
Open Internet Explorer, click Internet options -> General tab -> Tabs -> Under Open links from other programs in, select A new tab in the current window -> OK.

  • Create excel hyperlink directly to PDF page in a file

    I have seen some old posts on this saying this could not be done. Wondering if anyone has developed a way to do this yet?
    I want my excel hyperlink to take me to a specified page within a PDF that is filed on my harddrive.
    I'm able to link the PDF but not to a specific page.
    Any ideas how I might do this?

    Hi,
    it's me again.
    Well, with the PDF open parameters I am now able to open a pdf document via HTML on a specific page number.
    (http://example.org/doc.pdf#page=10)
    However page numbers are changing so I want do define a special Article using the following command:
    http://example.org/doc.pdf#nameddest=Article16
    but the pdf opens always at the first page. Is there something to do in the pdf document with Article 16 first ?

  • Excel & Hyperlinking with Sharepoint

    I have a tracking document in Excel that has each entry linked to another place on Sharepoint to locate files and intranet articles. There are no formulas or other complex entries....just text and hyperlinks.
    If I open the Excel file in Sharepoint and edit it there, we have no issues.
    If I download the Excel file to my desktop...all links to other files are broken (the intranet file links remain active). When I try to access the link I receive a pop up window that states, "Cannot open the specified file."
    This is a file accessed by multiple people and used as a resource, there are well over 100 linked entries and the group would like to be able to use the file on their desktops.
    I have already found and unchecked the "Update Links on Save" option. This now allows me to download the file to the desktop, have no access to the links, and then upload it where I can then access the links again.
    Is there any way to preserve the links so they can be accessed on the desktop?

    Thank you,
    Christine

    The links are absolute. All links are to our internal team site or to our intranet. The intranet links aren't affected.
    This wasn't an issue before the company upgraded us to Windows 7/Office 2010.
    The links are established (right click, select Hyperlink, copy/paste from browser) while the Excel file is on the desktop and all work fine there.  The Excel file is then uploaded to Sharepoint where the links continue to work. When the Excel file is
    downloaded to the desktop again...all links are broken. If I re-upload it to Sharepoint though, it is fine.
    I double checked the actual link. It reads the same on the desktop initially as it does on Sharepoint. When the file is downloaded to the desktop again it seems to be missing the first half of it. What function could be editing the link?

  • Adobe Reader XI freezes computer when opened from Excel hyperlink

    My computer has been frozen multiple times after opening a pdf from a hyperlink in Excel. Sometimes it randomly freezes after reading the document for a while and sometimes it freezes when I try to close the document. I have Adobe Reader XI 11.0.06, I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS, and Excel 2010. The mouse will still move sometimes once things freeze up but clicking doesn't work and alt+ctrl+del doesn't bring up task manager either, so I have to hard reboot. Anyone have a fix for this?
    Thanks in advance.

    The first thing I would try is to disable Protected Mode in Adobe Reader [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

  • How can I force Excel hyperlinks to open Acrobat Pro rather than Acrobat Reader?

    My Excel (2010) hyperlinks to PDF file always open the Reader...but I want these files to open in Acrobat Pro (X) so I can use all the tools.
    Is this possible?
    Can I uninstall the reader? Will that force Pro to be the default file opener?
    Thanks.
    SS

    Open Acrobat -> Click to 'Edit' menu -> Preferences -> General (Category)
    Now click on "Select Default PDF Handler" button choose Acrobat X from the drop-down and then click apply.
    It will reset Acrobat X as a default viewer and your all link will open in Acrobat then.

  • Global Modification of Excel Hyperlinks

    Hi All
    Following a previous thread regarding mapped drives and hyperlinks, I have discovered that the content of the hyperlinks in a spreadsheet appear to have changed.  When clicking these, the user is simply presented with "Cannot open the specified
    file".
    The hyperlinks open external documents such as PDF files.
    Looking at the hyperlink paths they are typically ../../SPARES/PT/PT2000-PT2099/PT2009/PO%2012496.PDF.  However, the correct path has spaces either side of the hyphen symbol.  If I edit one of the hyperlinks manually and add back the spaces, the
    link works fine.  So it appears that, for some reason, Excel has dropped the spaces in all the hyperlinks.
    Is there any code way I can globally replace "-P" with " - P" to add back the spaces?
    The other option is to rename all the folders that are the targets for the hyperlinks, but there are a lot and this will have backup implications.
    Thanks
    Phil

    Hi Phil,
    I don't know whether Excel decides to wreck the links itself or that some user
    has done so. I have heard about links being altered more than once though.
    If you want them to stay put, I suggest to use the HYPERLINK function pointing
    to a separate cell that holds the hyperlink address as text. That way, Excel
    cannot change them as the link is created on-the-fly by the hYPERLINK function.

  • 07 excel hyperlinks (place names) not captured in Acrobat 9

    Hi, I have an excel workbook with about 30 different worksheets that I developed in Excel 07. The different worksheets hyperlink to each other using place names as guides.
    In excel, it works as expected however when I create the PDF (acrobat 9 pro extended) only some of the links work. I do not know why random links (maybe half of them) are not functional. I have played around for an hour or so recreating links however it hasn't worked.
    I am using Windows XP SP2.
    Your assistance is most appreciated.
    Cheers, Matt.

    Dear Matthew,
    Re. the problem of converting a MS Excel workbook with hyperlinks to PDF:
    The "Excel Problem" is with Acrobat already for sevearl years, living through various product versions of Acrobat. The input from Adobe (technotes) has so far been partial, providing partial hints 'try this setting' but without uequivocal guidance on the issue. A quick search on the internet learns that everybody has trouble with the issue and half the world uses Excel. Despite all the questions on forums, Adobe technotes etc, for years in a row, it still does not work and no clear and unequivocal guide is available from Acrobat. We personally think that there is a structural problem in the code (at Adobe's side).
    we have reached the conclusion that currently, it is simply not possible to use Acrobat 8.## (we use the "pro' version) to robustly convert an Excel file with hyperlinks, into a professional file in the PDF format.

    Hi Brian,
    How many characters are you using in the path? Also what is your operating system?

  • Launching excel hyperlinks using Firefox

    I have an excel calendar on a network folder that has hyperlinks to supporting documents (emails and spreadsheets). The hyperlinks launch fine in ie, but Firefox appears to be looking for the docs on my local drive rather than the network folder, so won't open them. The same happens for other network users who try to launch the hyperlink using Firefox. Any idea how to fix this?

    You can have only '''one''' default browser.

  • Excel hyperlink is opening pdf file using reader, how can I make it use Acrobat professional?

    Open Acrobat, go to Edit - Preferences - General and click the Select

  • Hyperlinks in Excel output

    I've seen many conversations on this topic but never a satisfactory solution.  So, I have excel hyperlinks that are built from an equation something like = Hyperlink(A3,"View"), where "A3" is the URL address (e.g., www.example.com) in a hidden column.  The idea is to display the hyperlink "View" in the column rather than the actual URL, which can run 40+ characters long.
    When a .PDF is generated from this excel file, the hyperlink does not work.  My understanding is that this is because Adobe is unable to recognize the Excel equation as being a hyperlink.  One way around this is to copy the column with  he equation into another program, such as MS Word and then copy it back into Excel.  When the column is "laundered" through Word, Adobe can now recognize the formula as a hyperlink. 
    Unfortunately, when generating a lot of these documents with hundreds of hyperlinks, it is a slow, manual process. 
    Is there a way to have pdf that recognize the equation "=hyperlink(..." as a hyperlink in the pdf document?
    Thanks
    PS: I was also trying to do this with hyperlinks in Tableau, but figured the Excel was the more likely to have a solution. 

    I've tried a number of ways, with several different products but typically, I use the "Save to Adobe PDF" option in Excel and then Convert to PDF. 
    If there is another way that yields gets around this issue, please let me know.

  • Hyperlinks have stopped working in Acrobat 9 pro

    Hi all,
    I have been using acrobat 9 pro for quite some time now, in conjunction with Microsoft Office 2007, specifically Excel 2007.
    I have been using Excel 2007 to create my reports which have several worksheets. The first worksheet is a simple cover page and the second a worksheet with data relating to the next "x" amount of worksheets.
    On this second worksheet, I have included several hyperlinks which point to the other "x" worksheets within the workbook as a whole.  The other worksheets then have a hyperlink which takes them back to the data (second) worksheet.  Sort of like a homepage pointing to locations, with a "home button" on each subsequent page.
    Once the reports were finished, I then clicked the PDF maker button, and added "all worksheets" or "entire workbook" whichever took my fancy at the time to create the PDF.  This hhas been working perfectly for over a year, however, last month this stopped working.
    Previously when creating the PDF file, being a really boring nerd i decided to click the "show progress" button which showed every step of the conversion process from "performing post processing" to "scanning for hyperlinks" etc.  Now when I click the "show progress" button, all that appears is "performing post processing," the scanning for hyperlinks has completely disappeared.
    I have checked the settings, in case they had been changed accidentally, however, the "include links" checkbox is ticked.  I have also tried creating several (well all) different formats of the Acrobat PDF from version 4 through to 8, all with the same results.  The text that should be a hyperlink is blue and underlined, but has no link.
    If i create a PDF/A format file, the hyperlinks are the same result (blue and underlined) however if you hover over the link text popps up with the address of where the link should point to in the document, eg. "Page 6 XYZ 59 542 NULL."
    I imagine the "NULL" part has something to do with this feature not working.
    My current version of Acrobat is 9.1.2 and I am wondering if the update from 9.0 is what has caused this, and if so, does anyone have a way of making the hyperlinks work.

    The source of the problem (Excel internal Hyperlinks no longer convert to PDF file) has been FOUND...check for the installation of "Microsoft Excel 2007 Security Update (KB969682)".  The Knowledge Base Article, dated June 9, 2009, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/969682 actually lists one of the two issues we started to notice at the end of June / early July.  The recent Adobe Acrobat 9.1.2 update was more than likely just coincidentally released at about the same time as Microsoft's KB969682 security update for Excel 2007.
    We uninstalled the "Microsoft Excel 2007 Security Update (KB969682)" update from our Windows XP workstations, and the Adobe PDFMaker Add-In 9.1.2 works fine now...no more distorted graphics and Excel Hyperlinks are now back into the PDF files!

  • Acrobat ProX messing with converted hyperlinks

    With v7 & 8 we were able to 'get around' Acrobat's refusal to allow links to Windows Explorer folders (ie not files) by converting Word or other hyperlinks, and then using the created link rectangles as required.
    My shiny new (and generally annoyingly in need of many more mouse clicks to do anything) v 10 changes the path in the links when I copy/paste them or insert the pdf into another pdf so they no longer find the target folder.
    Good job I have Autobookmark to correct them.

    I would appreciate any guidance on converting Excel 2007 internal hyperlinks in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (Ver 9.1.0).
    In summary, i have created a Excel Table of Contents using Excel hyperlinks and when I convert these using the ribbon, the text converts but the hyperlinks are not included - I have tried this with external hyperlinks and this works fine.
    I have read arcticle http://forums.adobe.com/thread/448213 which looked hopeful, but it refers to XP and a security update KB969682 - I am running Windows 7 and don't have that KB installed :-(
    Really appreciate help as I am running out of ideas.
    Thanks - DMB
