External Links Auto Close in Viewer

I'm working on a publication that includes several web links within articles. In several cases the browser window auto closes while the content is still loading and sometimes while scrolling the content. I am still testing everything in Adobe Content Viewer. Has anybody encountered such a problem or any suggestions on how to fix it? I want the links to open in the browser window within the app but not close until the viewer hits Done.

Thank you Bob! We will try out tests again today.

CS3 - Design View not showing externally linked images

In CS3 Design View, externally linked images are not showing
up... i am only getting the place holder.
To prempt some questions:
1/ Links are correct and complete - apart from the fact that
they show up when previewing in the browser(s) - i have
crosschecked
2/ There are no spaces in the url
3/ In the 'View' menu, 'Display External Files' is checked
I had this problem before and escargo suggested saving and
rebooting. It worked then but strangely, today, that file is again
showing some of the externally linked images but not all. And on a
new file, created today, none of the externally linked images are
showing up... :(
I'm sure there's a simple solution to the problem... anyone
have any idea what it could be?
Thanks and cheers,
JJ

Nope. Some show - some don't.

External link to webhelp, view TOC

Hi,
is it possible to automatically view the toc pane when linking from an external html file? On our intranet, a lot of pages are not compiled with robohelp, they are Word--> html pages, but we do link from those pages to the robohelp webhelp.
By default, you only see the topic, and have the Display link on top of the page. But this display link is only visible if you really link to the top of that page.
I would like to activate the navigation pane by default whenever an external link refers to the RH webhelp.
Inez

Hi Peter,
thank you for the info. I've tried to edit the Word links, according to the suggested method:
X:/startpage.htm#path/targetpage.htm
- now, we always link from the html page to the http://intranet/path of the target page, not the network drive X:/ , but I presume that is not a problem?
- I opened the html page in Word, and edited the hyperlink. However the field in which you put the hyperlink is too short to combine both absolute paths, so I started with http://address/startpage.htm, followed by #, followed by ../../targetpage.htm but word only reaches the start page. Is a combination of absolute/relative paths an option?
- the target page I need, is a targetpage.htm#bookmark - is that conflicting, to have two times the # sign?
Rgds, Inez

Why do I get an Error Message when trying to "External link" an SWC?

hi.
when I use the "external link" option in the SCW linckage
dialog box, the running SWF produces an alert box saying :
"VerifyError: Error #1014: Class mx.core::Application could
not be found.
at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop()

at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at mx.preloaders::Preloader/::timerHandler()
at flash.utils::Timer/flash.utils:Timer::_timerDispatch()
at flash.utils::Timer/flash.utils:Timer::tick()
I did what the documentation said, still I get that error...
..quoting the "Using flex builder 2" doc:
"To set the SWC file as an external library file:
With a project selected in the Navigator view, select Project
> Properties > Flex Build Path.
Select the Library tab, and then select and expand the SWC
file entry to display the SWC options.
Double-click the Link Type option. The Library Path Items
Options dialog box appears.
Select the External option, and click OK. "
Anty suggestions?
thanks,
Guy.

error message,
Is the path/shape closed?
Selecting it and Ctrl/Cmd+J should close it if not, then you may try again.
You may also have a look in the Document Infor palette with Objects ticked in the flyout and the path selected.

Photoshop is unable to Register/ Auto-Closes upon opening

Alright,
I've seen at least one other user with this problem, and it's nothing that can be resolved by signing in and out of the Adobe CC application, or even the Ctrl+Shift+Alt and opening trick.
So recently I went with the $9.99 a month package for Adobe Creative Cloud containing Photoshop and Lightroom.
No matter what I try, it won't ever prompt me to input a serial to register Photoshop, therefore any attempts at opening it set off it's anti-piracy measures and make it force-close immediately after opening/ after it finishes loading.
When I am able to try and register/ finalize registration, it wants me to "complete registration by updating your account information," yet the page continuously loops and clicking "Update and Continue" brings me back to the same page. Which disallows me to register Photoshop.
This is the reason why I, and possibly others, are unable to use Photoshop, for it auto-closes after fully loading, since it cannot be registered the same way Lightroom is.
(Lightroom is registered immediately via a prompt message upon first startup asking for a serial code, one of which that is alread inserted/ auto-inserted by the Adobe Creative Cloud application.)
Upon further investigation to prove my point, on my account the only product registered is Lightroom.
Picture: http://screencast.com/t/0PTyKbUVLA
I've tried the customer support chat.
Multiple times.
Possibly upwards of 16. Each time the representative went down the same list and copy/ pasted the same answers.
It's sad that I was the one to narrow it down and have the problem figured out.
Apparently I have to wait to contact their special support team on Monday to get this resolved.
Although, it appears the package is "Photoshop Photography Program (For CS3+ customers)," which is not the version listed and advertised all over the site.
(This package would indicate that I would not be able to use Photoshop since I have not owned Photoshop prior to purchasing this package.)
Yet the only package that this applies to is this one:
http://screencast.com/t/pDylveniasI
This is insanely annoying.
I would much rather do support via email, and I would also much rather have a more clear product description if the one I selected turned out to have been falsly advertised.
Message was slightly edited by: MrNameloc

I was on their Chat Support yesterday for 6 hours. Possibly a bit longer.
Anyways, after waiting 4 hours for the Technician, the technician walked me through uninstalling Adobe CC and re-installing, but before he had me 'trash' the old preferences.
Below is the file path (highlighted in blue, obviously), and the items that were changed.
opm.db was deleted after changing the OOBE folder by adding the '.old' to it. (In the picture you can see the new versus the old...)
Then afterwards they had me to make sure Adobe CC would not run, then had me to un-install it and re-install. Then had me to un-install Photoshop and re-install.
(Well, they had me to un-install Photoshop CC, delete Adobe CC's preferences, un-install Adobe CC, re-install Adobe CC, then re-install Photoshop.)
http://screencast.com/t/hjaPTVD2wl
Did not work for me. You/ anyone else could try and save yourself 6+ hours in their support chat.
They even assured me that, on their end, Photoshop had been registered on two machines already under my account; Meanwhile everytime I view my Adobe Products and Services, it still only lists Lightroom.
Trying to convince them that it's registration is pretty hard. I've seen people with cracks of Photoshop CC, didn't work because Adobe CC keeps re-installing itself if it isn't allowed to be connected to the internet. (They were having the same problem as us; Opening Photoshop had it auto-close, and since Adobe CC cloned itself the anti-piracy measures kicked in causing Photoshop to do this.) However, since the cracks only install the trial version, it's still functional for 30 days. Therefore if you're able to find a trial version of Photoshop, or maybe even get a pirated copy, you'll be prompted to put in a Serial; Then possibly ask Adobe for your Serial, register and activate Photoshop, and maybe it'll work.
Only reason why I suggest a cracked copy is because you are able to actually download the trial without signing into Adobe CC.
Plus, it will actually give you a prompt to input a serial key. Unlike the Adobe CC installer.

How to force external links to open in new browser window/tab?

Greetings. I'm here because searching elsewhere kept coming up with references to javascript. I've created an interactive PDF with both internal and external links. It works just fine when viewed in either Acrobat or Reader. However, it is being downloaded to users' browsers and when they access the external URLs, the new sites replace the existing page in the same window.
Is there a simple way for me to include an action in the PDF prior to distribution that will force it to open external URLs in a new browser window or tab?
And for the record, I barely know how to spell Javascript, much less how to write or implement it. So if there is a simple solution, I hope you can also help walk me through the steps to implement it.
Thanks a ton.

There are two issues here:
- How to do it using JS
- How to do it in a non-Adobe browser plugin
The first is pretty straight forward. You use a code like this, replacing the dummy URL with your own:
app.launchURL("http://www.example.com", true);
The second issue is more problematic, and in fact there isn't really a solution to it. If the plugin used supports this method then it will work, if not, then you're out of luck. Unfortunately, outside of the Adobe software I don't think that any other plugin supports it.

How to choose witch window will open external links when using multiple Firefox profiles at the same time?

I am using 2 firefox profiles at the same, one for working and another for reading news. I start them with "firefox -no-remote -P profilename", so there are 2 firefox processes running.
It works well, but when I click a link in an external app (like in Google Talk), the link is opened in the first firefox process I launched. I mean, if I ran the "news" firefox first, it will always open the external links.
Is it possible to change this behavior? I'd like all external windows to be opened in the "news" firefox, never in the "working". Of course I'll achieve that if I open it first, but if I first run the "news", then the "working", then I close the news for any reason, now links will always open in the "working" until I close it.
I running linux (opensuse 11.3).

'''traysh''',
Profiles '''''period''''' are "unsupported" by Mozilla. Profiles are "there" but the developers want no part of non-developers using them or fixing anything related to Profiles that has been suggested in a Bug report, or documenting much related to Profiles. Profiles as we know them now are going to disappear from Firefox in the near future, although no specific version number or date has been fixed for that to happen. It is up to us user's to share our experiences with Profiles with other user's. I'm a relative noob to Linux, and all my experience with running multiple Profiles and -no-remote is with Windows OS's.
'''cor-el''',
So are you saying that on Linux external links will only open in the first Profile that was opened if multiple Profiles are running?
And that external links won't open a Profile that isn't already running - if any Profile is already running?
''I wish the differences between Windows and Linux as far as '''-no-remote''' and running multiple Profiles were better documented for "us" Linux noobs over at the MozillaZine KnowledgeBase - hint. Unless I am not looking hard enough in the MZ KB for that information....''

Cant open external links and multiple instances of the same profile.

I have multiple firefox profiles.
I constantly have two profiles running at the same time.
I use microsoft outlook and see an external link, I click it wishing firefox to open it in the default or new browser. It does not and says "FIrefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
Firefox is running fine.
How can I open external links with a profile based setup?
Also, how can I open multiple instances of the same profile? I find that if I click and drag a tab to another monitor, it opens a new "instance" or browser window.

You say
''I have multiple firefox profiles. 
I constantly have two profiles running at the same time. ''
So you will have discovered ''-no-remote'' Note NOT to use that on the default browser; profile, only on secondary profiles.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use#Common_causes
You will NOT be able to open multiple instances of the same profile, clone the profile if necessary.
If you are trying to run multiple Webmail accounts in one profile then you may well find the webmail is identifying and setting the user account that is opened. Use a Private Browsing window to get round that and open a second account.

Opening external link in a new browser window

Some of the external links in my web page need to open in
their own window, leaving my site still open in the background. Can
anyone tell me how to do this? I don't see an option anywhere when
I am creating these links.
The links are to, for example, "The City of ......", and
could be quite long to traverse. I don't want my visitors to have
to click their browser's back button who knows how many times to
get back to my site.
I would appreciate any suggestions, thanks

It's not valid in a Strict doctype, either HTML or XHTML.

I've migrated FF settings to a new PC and no external link opens now

Couple days ago I've received my new PC and migrated all important data from the old one using a special W8 tool. I've also installed Thunderbird and FF anew, and migrated their setting using tools recommended here (FF Sync + MozBackup). And suddenly I've lost a possibility to open any external link in FF now no matter the source (Thunderbird or any other piece of software). Now I have to copy and paste URLs manually. It's not the best solution. Old PC OS: Vista Business, new PC OS: W8.1. Thanks in advance.

You may also wish to try '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' before a reset to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

External link to location in PDF not working

I can't get an external link to open to a specific place in a PDF. I have tried the code for named destination and a page number and nothing is working. I actually found some good documentation on line that should me all the parameters that could be passed, unfortunately, they aren't working.
Here are the ways I have test linking into the PDF:
http://at3etfsn1.atlanta.ibm.com/crm/sheol/Marketing/MAT_DPP_ExercisesA.pdf#nameddest=LogO ut
http://at3etfsn1.atlanta.ibm.com/crm/sheol/Marketing/MAT_DPP_ExercisesA.pdf#LogOut
http://at3etfsn1.atlanta.ibm.com/crm/sheol/Marketing/MAT_DPP_ExercisesA.pdf#page=22
http://at3etfsn1.atlanta.ibm.com/crm/sheol/Marketing/MAT_DPP_ExercisesA.pdf#22
The link is stored on a wiki... but I didn't think that would make a difference. The PDF was created using Acrobat 9.0 from a Word document. I have made sure that the document does not have any security. Please let me know if you have any suggestions that might help me get this to work.
I know this is shocking, but I did actually read the documentation. LogOut is a bookmark I made with no spaces in the name. I'm not sure what else to try. If you have some examples or suggestions please let me know.
Thanks for your help.
Take care.

The link was copied from a post I'd made to AUC from back in 2008; so, yes it can/does work.
I've used PDF Open parameters with MSIE 5, 6, 7, & 8.
During use of any particular MSIE release I always keep it updated as MS rolls out the updates.
Used Adobe Reader 5, 6, 7, 8, & 9 - each updated as Adobe rolled out the updates.
Used Acrobat 5 (Full), Pro 6, 7, 8, 8 3D, 9 (Pro Extd).
Again, as updates are rolled out they are applied.
Just checked again with:
MSIE 6 (fully updated) & Adobe Reader 9.3.2
MSIE 8 (fully updated) & Acrobat 3D (8.2.2)
MSIE 8 (fully updated) & Acrobat 9 Pro Extd (9.3.2)
For all, the open parameter performed as expected.
Source PDF's Initial View is page only.
Rendered in browser showing bookmarks and opened to the specified page.
As to MSIE add-ons; this varies with the MSIE release.
IE 6 shows less than IE 8.
Various threads at Acrobat User Community may be informative.
For keyword search: "open parameters"
For Author search: "daka630"
At AUC Forum Search:
http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/search.php
5th post to this thread has the link I used above as well as some others -
http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/viewtopic.php?id=15061
n.b., tried the links you provided - nothing appears in the browser - same if I delete # and all subsequent characters after the file extension.
As to "installs" - basically, I run with the out-of-the-box installs; nothing "custom".
One thing that is common to the Adobe Reader/MSIE 6 & the various Acrobat/MSIE8 checks I just did is that for "Documents" in the Preferences the 'Open Setting' of "Restore last view settings when reopening documents" is not ticked.
-- just an end note here, open parameters have been around since at least Acrobat 4.x
Be well...

Error during addition of external link to oracle BPM workspace

Hi All,
I just want to add an external link to oracle BPM workspace and I've followed this tutorial :
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28280_01/user.1111/e15175/bpmug_ext_apps.htm
but I am neither able to view the required, nor getting any error.
During deployment time I'm only getting this message :
Issues were encountered while parsing this deployment to determine module type. Assuming this is a library deployment.
I'm using the virtual m/c version : oel5u5-64bit-soabpm-11gr1-ps4-fp-Workshop-Exp_2
Please help me to resolve the issue.
Thanks in advance.

What I meant to say is check the logs at the time you are getting the error since sometimes the logs can be huge in size

IWeb 08 external links correct on podcast entries, however wrong on index

Hope the title makes sense; Basically the podcast entries we create have an external link to some referenced sites and they work fine when looking at that podcast entry, HOWEVER the auto generated index page (listing all the podcast entries) shows a preview of the text of the Podcast and we've noticed that the SAME external links are altered, forward slashes are replaced with %253 and spaces with %25220 (I can understand spaces being replaced with %20! but NOT this)
This only happens with EXTERNAL links. You can see it on the Index page BEFORE you even upload the site. So clearly something is odd in iWeb 08 and not specific to using .MAC or an external host.
Is anyone else seeing this? We recreated the Podcast from scratch to ensure no iWeb 06 bad info was present.
This just tops it off... The LACK OF NOTIFICATION on sites URL's being moved due to folder name changes and now this. iWeb 08 needs some attention ASAP. Is there a clean way to back rev to iWeb06 (can you keep both installed at the same time?)

I'm having the exact same issue, not necessarily with podcasts, just that any external link works fine except in the rss feed, where characters are replaced with %xxx and return 404 errors.

The portal url appears in external links in XML Forms

Hi,
I have created an XML Forms application that should contain a link to an external webpage.
In the Edit view I have created 2 text fields.
1 for the url and 1 urlname for the name of the link.
In the Show view I have created a link (Lable) with:
Hyperlink property: /DataSchema/DataModel/url
Schema Reference: /DataSchema/DataModel/urlName
Style : Function Link
When I run the application It renders the link as a link with the urlname as the name of the link.
Great !! ;0)
...but when clicking on the link it open up a new window with the portal URL + the specified url:
E.g.
Test data:
Name: Google
URL: http://www.google.com
Result:
http://<portalurl>:58000/irj/portal/http://www.google.com
Why does this happen? And what can I do in order to open up the new window with just the url that I have provided (http://www.google.com)
Thanks for any help !
Best regards
Rasmus

Hi All and thanks for all help
But..
The thing is that it has nothing to do with the application.
E.g. I have tested the SAP_APP_FAQs forms application delivered by SAP.
This forms application has an external link called Read more When I test this forms application everything is OK. It opens up the target URL in a new window e.g. http://www.google.com
This is exactly what I want so I make a copy (save as) of the project. I run the application and believe it or not I got the wrong result: http://<portalurl>:58000/irj/portal/http://www.google.com
I have not made any changes of the application!!
Can any tell me whats wrong?
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Rasmus

Redirect from task-flow to an external link

Hi,
From a bounded task-flow I have to use an ePayment virtual system. I have some parameters to fill and call an external link. One of those parameters is the ReturnURL when the payment system will return after finishing the Credit Card payment.
I am confuse about what to give to ReturnURL variable if the call is from a task-flow. Note that I need the return to be in a specific View inside the task-flow to let me modify/add some value to the DataBase.
getHeader did not work because it gives the following:
request.getHeader("Referer");
http://localhost:7101/TasdeeqApp/faces/member-task-flow/certifyDocument?_adf.ctrl-state=12oyjcx0ho_27
Any idea about how to develop this type of external payment server using ADF-faces?
Task-Flow------->https://XXXX---->Back to a specific View inside the Task-Flow
Thank you
Jamil
Edited by: Jamil Nour on Sep 20, 2010 6:47 AM

Hi Jamil,
First of all in your case as you want to return to the page in ADF from the epayment, you must to use the UN-bounded task flow with a page that has bookmark flag==true in order to be able to return to that page in your UN-bounded task flow.
But if you are insist to use the bounded task flow when creating that task flow in the create page un-check the property use-page-fragment.
then, drag a page ->.jsp not .jsff on that bounded task flow and when you run that page from bounded task flow you will see the address.
use that address for the return-path.
http://127.0.0.1:7101/test-forum-ViewController-context-root/faces/adf.task-flow;jsessionid=vGtgMYGSnFdyv1LQXhJ1yQ69MWT26ppvVJQdZTRyzKStrs5L2kHq!-448081696?adf.tfId=*task-flow-definition1*&adf.tfDoc=*/WEB-INF/task-flow-definition1.xml*&_afrLoop=1003390740777&_afrWindowMode=0&_afrWindowId=null
those with bold is what the parameter must be included when you just right-click on the page on the bounded task flow and run it you will see the URL. just use that URL.
But if you want to use page fragment to be included in the popup in the page it is not possible to return to them.
to complicate the situation I have to add another problem that when you want to return to a page in the bounded task flow that page must be only the Entry point (the page with a green hollow around it) if you want to return to a page in the middle of the Task Flow you must use a router in the First Entry and that router base on some parameter from Request decide that go to which page.
if you think this senario complecated just drop me an email and I will create a test case for you.
another issue to consider is the property of adf.ctrl-state=16d41j3t8n4* generally when you want to return to an ADF application if you do not specify the exact adf.ctrl parameter to the URL when you want to return to ADF you will face some problem, to clarify the issue when you login to a ADF applicaiton a adf.ctrl parameter is generated that hold the user specific parameter when you leave ADF and want to return to ADF again, as you not login again(create fresh session), you want to continue your last session, you must return to ADF application with same value for ADFctrl.
I hope this issues give you the idea. ;)
