Export to PDF causes hyperlink failore

the following issue happens only in Keynote!
in Pages everything works perfect!
If I'm linking files on my server with filenames like "abc def" (with a space inbetween),
after exporting to PDF: the link is converted WRONG!
in part of showing: 20% for the space, it shows 2520%
with the result . . . . the file is not founded when Safari, or any other internet explorer opens.
And this happens only in Keynote!
The same procedure in Pages works perfect.
Any ideas?
muchas gracias

I take little encouragement on how to use Apple discussions from someone who has made 3 posts, one of which is extremely difficult to understand the other places blames on the responder for not reading it correctly and the bad software.
I have twenty years of experience in posting in technical forums, have the third highest rating in this forum for being able to help users solve their issues, I use Keynote and Adobe Acrobat Professional on a daily basis to author interactive technical manuals.
I am bemused by your use of the word unprofessional, this is a user to user open forum, I am not paid to make posts in this forum, you could easily get a solution to your issue from a university lecturer or an 11 year old school student.

Export to PDF causes fringing around transparent PNGs only in Acrobat

If I export to PDF from Keynote '09 using the "Best" setting, I'm getting black fringing around solid elements in a transparent PNG that was placed in the original keynote doc. This fringing does not occur when the PDF is viewed in Preview. Any suggestions on how to remove the fringing?
Example is here: http://i.imgur.com/3QXGf.jpg
Thanks in advance for the help.

Perhaps my explanation of why this is a problem wasn't clear. The type of PDF links that Pages creates are, quite reasonably, set to highlight when clicked (there are a variety of options in PDF for the visual action of a clicked link; highlight is best for user feedback. In an ideal world, when the user clicks a link in a PDF, you want the a highlight box to appear over the text of the link - exactly over it, not too large, not too small.
Because Pages creates two links for each internal hyperlink, but the user will click only one of them in the PDF (whether in Preview or Acrobat), the highlight is almost guaranteed to be wrong for every click. If the user clicks the top link, only the top two-thirds of the text will highlight, and if the user clicks the bottom link, there will be a weird highlight either on the bottom third of the text or underneath it. It's inconsistent, but in most cases, it's wrong.
Obviously, this is only cosmetic, but it's the kind of mistake that hurts usability and detracts from the user experience, and as far as I can tell, there's absolutely no reason for it, making it a bug.

Export to PDF causes blacks to go grey.

Hello,
I have been dealing with an issue involving the way InDesign exports to PDF. In images and boxes drawn in InDesign the black value is being reduced to 95% while the text remains full black. I thought it was a printer issue but I looked more carefully at the PDF and sure enough it's in the image I outputted to PDF format. How would it be possible that the blacks in images and drawn boxes could loose the 100% black but not the text? Do I have a bad install or just a setting misplaced?
I am running CS5.5 with all the latest updates on a brand new Mac Book Pro.
Thanks,
Brett

It's too bad this is such a convoluted process.
I don't see any problem with 1-bit black or text black with a CMYK Transparency Blend Space, either in InDesign's Separation Preview or in Acrobat's Output Preview after exporting via the PDF/X-4 preset. In all cases output reads as 0|0|0|100 CMYK, which is what you would want and expect going to press
A placed all black 1-bit psd in ID
Exported to PDF/X-4
Are you outputting separations or to a composite printer? If composite is your Print>Output>Color, Composite Gray or Composite CMYK?

Exporting to PDF with hyperlinks, how do I keep the squares from showing around them?

I have a document Im creating and I have ads created in graphics, other PDFs, and text which all have hyperlinks in them that I want to be clickable. the JPGs with them, I put an invisible square over the link and assigned the link. For most of the PDFs I got, the hyperlinks were already clickable. When I export the final document to PDF, all those links are carried over just how I like, and no squares are shown over those links...perfect. For all the typed text that has hyperlinks, those show a square going around those links. Its VERY ugly! How do I keep it from doing that and keep everything clickable that needs to be?

The following simple Javascript should set all of document's hyperlinks to "invisible rectangle":
var myHyperlinks = app.activeDocument.hyperlinks.everyItem().getElements();
for (i = myHyperlinks.length - 1; i >= 0; i--){
myHyperlinks[i].visible = false;
(save it as "HyperlinksInvisible.jsx", or whatever, put it into the Scripts panel folder, and double-click its name in the Script Panel to run it.)

Crystal Report export to PDF cause high Heap usage ?

Hi all,
As part of our reporting integrated with our JSF/JSP application, Crystal report is converted to PDF then sent to browser for user to display. mean while during peak load our Heap usage could reach 3.5GB - 4GB. So I am suspecting the unclosed byteArrayInputStream is the cause.
(This is a production application so I am collecting information before change the code)
Is the unclosed() byteArrayInputStream really cause the problem ? (the codes is below)
Thank you,
Krist
ByteArrayInputStream byteArrayInputStream = (ByteArrayInputStream)
                                 reportClientDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(exportOptions);
reportClientDoc.close();
writeToBrowser(byteArrayInputStream, response, "application/csv", EXPORT_FILE);
private void writeToBrowser(ByteArrayInputStream byteArrayInputStream, HttpServletResponse
response, String mimetype, String exportFile)
   throws Exception {
      byte[] buffer = new byte[byteArrayInputStream.available()];
      int bytesRead = 0;
      response.reset();
      response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "inline;filename=" + exportFile);
      response.setContentType(mimetype);
      //Stream the byte array to the client.
      while((bytesRead = byteArrayInputStream.read(buffer)) != -1)
            { response.getOutputStream().write(buffer , 0, bytesRead);}
      //Flush and close the output stream.
      response.getOutputStream().flush();
      response.getOutputStream().close();

I do not know if my solution to my Heap problem will help any of you but I thought I would just post it here
just incase yourselves or others come looking for possible solutions.
I created a very simlpe report with 2 groups and not much in the way of complex functions. Whilst reporting against about
100 pages of output everything worked fine, but as soon as we pushed the report up to 500+ pages we got all sorts
of issues.
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
After much hair pulling and trial and error I discovered that the issue came about where I did not declare formula variables as local. I was concatinating various street address details for of the envelope windows.
Stringvar Address;      //    I was using this declaration
Global Stringvar Address;    // Specific Global declaration
Local Stringvar Address;    // Changed to this declaration
After changing to Local, my report now runs with no hassels. And the memory usage whilst exporting the report has gone from maxing out at over 1GB to almost nothing (dont even get it registering)
Am sure someone can come up with a better explanation for this and give reasons but just thougth I would share.
Cheers
Darren

How can I make hyperlinks work in InCopy when I export to PDF without using InDesign?

I created an InCopy document with hyperlinks linking to other InCopy documents. When I exported to PDF, these hyperlinks don't work. Is there any way I can make these hyperlinks work without using InDesign? Thanks.

Terrible idea. In a JPG the text will not be alive, you loose all interactivity.
And making JPGs with InDesign is not what the program is meant to make.

Exporting to pdf: don't need fonts, do need links. How?

I'm using InDesign CS4, upgraded from PageMaker last summer.
I produce a couple of simple, mostly text newsletters using only basic fonts. In PageMaker I could prevent fonts from being embedded but in InDesign there doesn't seem to be a way to do that.
Then in Acrobat (v6 if it matters) when I go into PDF Optimizer to try to remove them, no fonts show up on the list. Yet the fonts are listed as embedded under Document Properties, and the Audit space shows that 65% is fonts.
I read here that I can print from InDesign to the Acrobat print driver and control it that way, but then the hyperlinks don't get included.
Here is an old newsletter pdf created from PM, and the same thing converted to InDesign and exported. (there may be small differences from the conversion)

I'm fine with the reader's reader substituting Times for Times New Roman, Helvetica for Arial, etc. As you can see from the pub, precise typography isn't all that important.
But you have no way to ensure that even those fonts are available on the viewer’s computer. Even if they are, how do you know how the substitution will occur? If I just replace every glyph (letter, numeral, symbol, etc.) in one font with another, but leave the glyphs where they are I might make the text unreadable.
100 kb is a pitifully small threshold for saving a file for offline viewing. Unless this is meant to be read in Kazakhstan, then I’d ignore this arbitrary file size limit.
About the hyperlinks issue when distilling a PostScript file: there’s nothing you can do about that, since PostScript files do not support hyperlinks. But you can export a PDF with hyperlinks, then Distill a PostScript file. Open the exported PDF and use Document > Replace Pages. Replace all the pages in the open (exported) PDF with all the pages in the Distilled PDF. Hyperlinks will remain.

Export to .PDF, hyperlinks issue

Hello,
I've been working with Crystal Reports 2008, and so far it all seems to be going well. There is only one issue that I've come across, and I was hoping for some direction.
For some reason, when I export my form to .PDF, all hyperlinks are removed... I've found that I can export to RTF, then to .PDF, but this sometimes causes some formatting issues.
Is there any way for crystal reports to keep their hyperlinks when exporting to .PDF?
- Scott

Hi, thanks for your reply,
You know, I've never tried it just out of Crystal Reports 2008 until now. I ran the report, then in the preview tab, I clicked on the field that had the hyperlink formula in it...
Clicking it just selected the textbox. I tried the same thing in CR2008 Viewer, with no success. The odd thing is that, if I export the report to rtf, excel, word, html, etc. the hyperlinks are there. It's just not there in the viewer, or in the exported .PDF.
I'll explain how I did the hyperlink, and hopefully you can tell me whether I'm doing something wrong.
I have a field in our database with the full path to the document that I want to link to. The path is similar to
xx.x.xx.xx\subfolder\subfolder\filename.PDF. This path will work so long as the report is being viewed on a PC connected to our local network (which it is).
Then, in my query, I select the path as one of the database fields. If I just put the field into a text-box, the value is printed correctly, so my query is grabbing the correct path.
Then, on the text-field that I want, I right click, select 'Format Text...' and select the 'Hyperlink' tab. Then I set the hyperlink type to 'A file', and under hyperlink information, I select the formula button. I then bind the formula to the field with the path in it, save changes and retrun to my form.
Within CR2008, it doesn't look like there are any hyperlinks, and clicking the field just selects the text. If I export it to .rtf, excel, word, html, etc. the link is there, and it works fine. As I've said, it's just the CR2008 viewer and exported .PDF files where the hyperlink doesn't appear.
Now, on a whim, I decided to just type the path into the 'file path:' field in the hyperlink tab. Doing this manually allows the link to be clicked in CR2008, but I still can't get the exported .PDF file to recognize the hyperlink. Even if setting the static path allowed my links to be maintained in an exported .PDF, I need the Path to be set based upon the field in our database.
So, that's where I am now. If you can see something I've done wrong, or something that I haven't tried, please let me know. This is the only thing that I've come across that is causing me any trouble so far. I would appreciate any help that anyone could offer, Thanks.

Hyperlinks do not work when exporting to PDF (Crystal and Visual Cut)

I have a question about Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and Visual Cut 11. I create reports in Crystal and export them using Visual Cut. Some reports contain hyperlinks to files on a network drive. However, the links only work while in Crystal. The PDF files that are printed through Visual Cut display the links, but they are not clickable. How can this issue be fixed?
In case it helps, the links also work when I export reports from Crystal to HTML, Word, and Excel, but not when I export to Acrobat. I believe it is a problem with tagging/accessibilityfeatures. So is there a setting/formula in Crystal or Visual Cut that would allow the exported PDF files to be accessible?

While Crystal exports to pdf indeed lose hyperlink functionality (both in Crystal as well as in Visual CUT), Visual CUT allows you to use Crystal formulas (acting as hidden Tags) to create hyperlinks in the resulting pdf file. Another option supported by Visual CUT it to automatically detect file references in the pdf text and turn them into hyperlinks. Contact MilletSoftware for more detail.

Hyperlinks not exporting to pdf.

We have a report that has hyperlinks to different pages in the report. I did this by formatting text as a hyperlink and using a formula to generate the link in the format #page=5 when this was exported to pdf, the links worked perfectly and linked back to the appropriate page in the same pdf. This was done in Crystal 9. Now we have upgraded to Crystal 11 and it does not work anymore. I can look at the contents of the pdf and it does not appear that any links are exporting to pdf. Is this feature broken in CR11? Does anyone know when this will be fixed?

previdn,
Pages to my knowledge does not retain the multimedia elements when exporting pdfs. The manual is not illuminating on the subject. I thought it might be possible that the media element is a reference and requires the external file to be present, usually in the same location, in the same folder both when you create it and try to play it back.
However I just did some experiments in Pages, Preview and Acrobat, including the propinquity and making the file, media and .pdf carry the same name. The media just is not referenced from the exported .pdf document. What you are seeing is the "poster" frame of the QT movie, in your case the black rectangle.
Media files are normally added to a .pdf in Acrobat Pro, after they are created, where you can add much more control over how they are viewed and launched.
Until Apple fixes this, your only choice is to do this in KeyNote which has excellent media exporting.
You could try Numbers as well on the off chance Apple implemented this function there.

Export to PDF with Working Hyperlink

Post Author: JaeLevel3
CA Forum: Exporting
I saw a few of these questions, and left unanswered. I hope answering this question can help several people.
It appears when the hyperlink starts with http, exporting Crystal to PDF, Acrobat recognizes the link. However, when the hyperlink is to a file on a drive, exporting to PDF, the link is not recognized. Is there a way to have the hyperlink to a file on a drive remain active when exported to PDF?

One of the 3rd-party Crystal Reports Desktop Scheduling tools listed at: http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html provides a solution for this. It allows you to automate the process of exporting to pdf and then detecting file references in the pdf text and turning them to hyperlinks or detecting invisible formulas and turning them into file hyperlinks.

Problem - Hyperlinks change on export to PDF

Working in Indesign 7.0.3 and Snow Leopard 10.6.5
I have been asked to design a publication that will include hyperlinks to other files (PDFs and Word documents) on the client’s network.
The client has supplied as the source a Word document with hyperlinks that start with:
\\Nwfileprintvm\vol1\shared\... and so on which (I presume) goes to a document on their network.
When I import the Word document into InDesign, the hyperlinks come in the same way. I have set up the hyperlinks as “Shared Destination” links, as there will be several separate links to the same destination in the InDesign document.
However, when I export the InDesign document to its final form as a PDF, the hyperlinks in the PDF are somehow automatically prefaced with a location on MY local hard drive (my working folder for the document). They become:
File:///Volumes/LaCie750/… and so on until they pick up the rest of the file path starting with \\Nwfileprintvm … as above.
I am exporting using [Smallest file size] since the PDF will be viewed on screen, and with “Include Hyperlinks” ticked.
So, if I deliver this PDF to the client, it looks like it will try to link back to my hard drive, rather than their network drive.
What am I doing wrong? How can I export a PDF where the links point to the client’s network rather than my local drive?

Yes, the hyperlink is defined correctly, without the preceding code linking to my hard drive.
In the hyperlink panel the full path is:
\\Nwfileprintvm\vol1\shared\Business Development\Program Support\Ten things.doc
When I export to PDF, the link becomes:
file:///Volumes/LaCie%20750/Work%20in%20progress/New%20work/Project%209999%20NewProject/\\ Nwfileprintvm\vol1\shared\Business Development\Program Support\Ten things.doc

How to import pdf with hyperlink and and maintain its hyperlink while exporting it as HTML?

We can import pdf in indesign either using plaacemultiplefile script or using place submenu under file menu but both of them import pdf as graphic object and lost its all hyperlink. no doubt when i again export its as pdf than hyperlink are there as it is but when i export it as HTML,IDML or other format than than all hyperlink are lost so is there any way to maintain this if no than is there any way to write some new script utilities which will do the same .one solution i think is first convert pdf into docx and than import it as docx indesign import it as text frame and maintain all hyperlink but in this process pdf file lost its some formating while converting it into docx .

I probably should've remembered "rtfm" before writing all that. It seems to me now that I need to create a Master Page for each of the different layouts, then dynamically select the one I want to use at run-time, maybe with a script event ? The Master Page creation is a bit messy ... the only way I seem to be able to get multiple Master Pages is to open each Word doc, let Livecycle import it, then copy all the content into a new Master Page in my main document. That is, there doesn't seem to be a way to import a series of Word docs directly into separate Master pages of a single Livecycle form. I'll continue with the "read" part of "rtfm" ...

Exporting a PDF from keynote without losing hyperlinks

exporting a PDF from keynote without losing hyperlinks
anyone have any ideas why it doesn't export the hyperlinks to the PDF?
i only have PDF reader on my machine, not the full PDF creator

Or, better than that, export the PDF from InDesign as PDF/X-4!
By default, Acrobat and Reader use overprint preview when displaying PDF/X-4 files. Plus you have the benefit of full color management and not having transparency ruined by premature flattening.
One other note. Other than for the fairly common practice of overprinting black text over colors to avoid halo effects due to registration, one should be exceptionally careful in using overprint. Trapping, the other good, justifiable use for overprint is really best performed by the RIP. Most modern RIPs provide for automatic trapping. Overprint should absolutely not be used as a “poor man's transparency,” especially in conjuction with spot colors. With the advent of real transparency in the Adobe imaging model and hence in Illustrator, InDesign, and PDF, there is no good reason to use overprint hacks anymore to simulate transparency.
