External reference to bookmarks within pdf

I'm using Abobe reader 9 and I'm trying to insert a hyperlink in Word that refers to a specific bookmark within a pdf. The link keeps resolving to the top of the pdf but not to where the bookmark is located? This there a solution? Thanks

No, but you can specify a specific page number or Named Destination. Look up "PDF Open Parameters" for more info.

Viewing bookmarks within PDF document on the iPad

I created a PDF document using the bookmark feature in Adobe. When I open the PDF in my email on an iPad using the GOOD browser or Safari, the bookmarks do not display. Are there any other options besides downloading an app such as Adobe Reader that will enable me to view and utilize the bookmark feature within a PDF document on the iPad?

Open PDF from database in a browser and run Javascript within PDF

What we're trying to accomplish is to query a PDF in the database and open the PDF in the browse. Once opened if a user click on a link to open another PDF, it launchs a URL to Coldfusion, that queries the database and opens the PDF link. This all works but we also want to have the open PDF goto a section or bookmark within the PDF. We currently have JavaScripts within the PDF links that do that but only if the PDF is in the file system. We're using the app.openDoc to get a reference to the opened PDF. But when opening the PDF from the database we pass the control to Coldfusion using app.launchURL or app.getURL. These do not pass back a reference to the opened PDF and the JavaScripts fails.
I'm looking for different methods or ideas.
Is there another way to do this, I'm new to acrobat JavaScripting?
Thanks, Rob

I tried tapping and holding the attachment icon, it just shows "Open / Bookmark/ Copy"...
Also i tried opening the attachement first and then tapping on it, it just shows "open in Safari"
Is there any settings to be done to add the options of Opening in Adobe Reader/or any other Docu Sign app . the exhibition booth systems one would work i think
Appreciate if someone could help

HELP: I need to link a PDF within PDF and be able to open and return to original PDF

I have a master PDF and have attached 7 supplemental PDF documents. I created "click here" icons and used the steps below so that the linked document would open. The problem is, once I open the supplemental PDF, it closes the original master. I would like to close the linked document and return to the master view. Is there a way to do this?
Or is there a way to do this from InDesign? I created master file in InDesign and exported as an Interactive PDF. I created the buttons and linked them to external files. This works great as long as the master PDF and the links are all in one file, but that is a pain to send to a viewer. Ideally, I want to be able to send the master PDF to a viewer and not have to send a links folder. Is there a way to embed the supplemental PDFs into the master so that they are all combined into one file AND have the ability to use buttons to call up one of the attachments, close, and return to the original?
Thanks in advance!!

I want to do the same thing that the original poster of this question wants to do. I haven't worked extensively with Acrobat so am finding by trial and error the several ways PDFs within PDFs can be accomplished. I'm using a trial version of Acrobat Pro X and have experimented with three options.
1 - I've created a Portfolio and am impressed with what that can do, though I think it may be "overkill" for the current size of my project.
2 - I've also tried creating this project as an index but discovered that the links I'd created in the original docs didn't work when I moved the index and its contents (keeping the file structure the same). I presume this means the links are absolute? I also don't understand how it is that users search a .pdx file, or how to present what I want to be the original opening PDF of indexed docs.
3 - I've also thought to create one PDF with attached PDFs, so I'd like to have you expand on your comment about creating a master document and attaching documents to it.
The specifics of my project are these: I have created a master directory that contains approximately 120 links. Most of the links are repeated three times (users can find in the directory the item they need in three different ways: alphabetically, by application, or by module; hence each item listed once in each of three categories). I want to make that directory the "master" PDF that users open first, and then locate within that PDF the 5-8 PDF documents that contain all of the places to which the directory links. I want the "master" directory to be self-contained and completely "portable" as far as all of the documents and links are concerned so that when I make the PDF available from our website users can open the master from there or copy it and have all of the docs they need with all of the links intact. I think I prefer that all docs open in new windows, since returning to the original doesn't seem very user friendly in Acrobat (I like the tabs feature in FoxIt when multiple PDFs are open...).
I'd like an opinion about the best way to accomplish what I need to do, and am also wondering whether there are other options I am unaware of. BTW, the reason we've decided to document this whole project in PDFs rather than HTML is because this project contains a big number of tables, which do not look consistent across various browsers (i.e., most of our tables look fine in IE and Firefox, but awful in Google Chrome...). In researching my issue on the Acrobat Windows forum I see that rendering tables in Acrobat is also an issue that seems to be unresolved.
Thank you!

HTML link to bookmark in pdf file

Hi everyone,
I use the following suffix on an html link in order to link to a specific page within a pdf file: #page=15 This works but I need to know go one step further and link to a specific bookmark within the pdf. I use the following suffix to try to do this: #bookmark name The above syntax doesn't work because the bookmarks all have spaces in their names. Apparently it's supposed to work if I remove the spaces from the bookmark names but this isn't practical because I'm generating the pdf out of Indesign and the bookmarks in the resulting pdf are just a reflection of the table of contents in Indesign. I can't remove the spaces from the TOC entries just so that there's no spaces in the bookmarks in the pdf.
So I need some sort of workaround and wondered if anyone would have any suggestions. Is there some acrobat script or any other solution to this problem?
Really appreciate any help.

Try %20 instead of spaces. HTML links are URL-encoded, and this is the usual translation of a single space, as for example can be seen in links in Google.
If it works, you can automatically convert the bookmark name to URL format with the function encodeURI ("Every non-alphanumeric character is encoded as a percent escape").

Hyperlink to a bookmark in PDF file

I have a PDF file included in my project help source.
I have added a hyperlink in a topic to open that PDF file.
That is working fine and no problems.
Is it possible to define a hyperlink wthin a topic to open the PDF and go to a bookmark within the PDF?
Basically what I want to do is this:
Have an FAQ topic that provides a list of frequently asked questions with corresponding answers.
The answer must be short and concise but allow the user to click a hyperlink to get "more information".
Some of the content that is the "more information" for the answer is not in a topic, but in the PDF.
I would like to define a hyperlink within a topic that opens the PDF to a specific place WITHIN the PDF file.
I assumed the place in the PDF must have a bookmark (is there any other way?).
I have:
Created the bookmark in a Word document.
Added that bookmark as a bookmark when creating the PDF using Adobe Acrobat.
(This is not ideal as it appears in my PDF as extra bookmarks - I will deal with that after I see if this approach will really work)
I tried doing a standard bookmark hyperlink (e.g., DataDefinitions.PDF#HPI Metrics) but the PDF just opens without going to the specific place within the PDF that has the relevant content.
Is this even possible?
It just seems like it can be, but maybe I am just experiencing wishful thinking.
As always, thanks for any advice/assitance/suggestions.
Michael F Weart

Hi Michael.
There are a couple of ways to achieve this. To link to a specific page by number use:
<a href="http://www.domain.com/file.pdf#page=3">Link text</a>
To link to a named location (destination) use:
<a href="http://www.domain.com/file.pdf#nameddest=TOC">Link text</a>

To access bookmarks in pdf doc using acrobat sdk with C#

Hi, I am converting a word doc to PDF. While doing this the headlines in word doc are getting converted to bookmarks in PDF & I get a bookmark tree. I want the bookmarks to be collapsed. I am using acrobat dll to convert word doc to pdf. Want to use the same to collapse the bookmarks.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Irosenth,
If we have Acrobat installed on our m/c in Micorsoft office word I get an "Acrobat" tab. In that I get an option to create "PDF" from word.
So keeping this in mind I created a project in C# using VS 2008. In this project I took the reference of "Acrobat.dll" the com library.
Using the reference of this library I converted the word/excel/ppt docs to PDF.
Below is the code snippet :
public
void startConversion(string docFile, string pdfFile){
Acrobat.
AcroAVDocClass _acroDoc = new Acrobat.AcroAVDocClass();Acrobat.
AcroPDDoc _pdDoc = null;
string strNonPDFFile = docFile;
string strPDFFile = pdfFile;
_acroDoc.Open(strNonPDFFile, strPDFFile);
_pdDoc = (Acrobat.
AcroPDDoc)(_acroDoc.GetPDDoc());
_pdDoc.Save(
Convert.ToInt16(Acrobat.PDSaveFlags.PDSaveFull), strPDFFile);
_pdDoc.Close();
_pdDoc =
null;_acroDoc.Close(1);
_acroDoc =
null;}
This does convert Word/exce/ppt to pdf successfully. But I wanted to get access to the bookmarks of the PDF file....
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Lalit

Need to reference file name within the XML Output

Not sure if this is possible, as I'm new to the livecycle/XML world. But I need to be able to reference a file within the XML output from the PDF.
The Scenario is that a pdf form of a business card will be issued to 50 franchisees for them to type in their names and mobiles, click submit and the XML file to be sent to myself, and be imported in to InDesign populating their data ready for printing. Up to here I have it working perfectly.
However as each franchisee have a combination of up to 5 logos to place in the bottom corner to save having to have various templates with different combinations of logos and having to ensure the correct templates are used. I intend to reference each companies combination as an EPS and make the reference within the xml out and have it import directly in with the other data. I can type the code directly within the xml but I would like to have the form reference it directly in the xml output. Is this possible or am expecting to much of livecycle? Any help/advice greatly appreciated.

Creating Complaints/Returns from external reference for Billing Documents.

Hi Experts,
I have question regarding Creating Complaints/Returns from external reference.
My requirement is to fetch data for Billing Type, Billing Documents and other related from ECC system and to create Complaints/Returns using the same in Web UI.
Is there any SPRO configuration as such so that we can pinpoint to the ECC system where it should fetch the data or is there be a custom development involved for the Drop down lists in Web UI?
I know about the BADI CRM_COPY_BADI_EXTERN which is triggered when creating using reference, but I am not able to see where the method SEARCH_HELP_FOR_EXTERN_DOC or GET_SEARCH_HELP are triggered.
I have gone through many forums within SDN but not able to find any solution. Please help!
Regards,
Mahesh

Hi Ly,
I wouldn't be able to share the code with you, but I would ask you to check with the functional counterpart regarding the important fields that are to be copied.
What I did in my case is, based on the Billing document number passed from CRM in the RFC I hit the tables VBRK and VBRP for header and item data respectively.
For pricing I passed the relevant fields from KONV table (KSCHL, KWERT, KAWRT etc..)
For document flow VBFA.
For partner VBPA.
I faced issues only with pricing as there were many settings and pricing routine logic differences between CRM and ERP.

Mahesh

External load a StyleSheet within the IPreloaderDisplay via the StyleManager

Hello,
I've attempted to dynamically load an external stylesheet swf file within my IPreloaderDisplay implementation using the StyleManager.loadStyleDeclerations and have caught an error:
TypeError: Error #1006: getInstance is not a function.
    at mx.core::Singleton$/getInstance()[E:\dev\flex_201_borneo\sdk\frameworks\mx\core\Singleton .as:49]
    at mx.styles::StyleManager$cinit()
    at global$init()[E:\dev\flex_201_borneo\sdk\frameworks\mx\styles\StyleManager.as:27]
Is there a way to fix this problem. I would like to load the dynamic stylesheet before the Application initilialise for performance reasons and to eliminate the UI from changing it's look once the application is shown. Is there maybe a way to fix this by making it possible to load the dynamic stylesheet during the IPreloaderDisplay steps.
Thanks in advance

Hi There - taking the issues and breaking them down - RDP and remote Assitance are not clearly documented to get them working - however, on your "RDP All" Rule shave you enabled "Edge Traversal" and tested using your management server
with pre-assigned DFG. - see this link for reference -

One note is that Remote Assistance is not correct in the article. The correct WFAS Rules are below

After that we can look at the routing - have you an internal VIP for the DirectAccess Servers as looking at the post the traffic will always go out of the specified server (the one determined as the DFG of the Management Server).

Add ability to create bookmarks within iOS app

It would be great to have the ability to create bookmarks within the iOS reader app. That way I can go directly from a PDFs download via website/Dropbox and not have to first edit the document on my computer to add any bookmarks.
Acrobat Reader for iOS

To Demo:
My main email address linked to the mail app in my iPad is with Yahoo. When I add a test group on my iCloud, my iPad keeps asking for my Yahoo password repeatedly and no sync seems to have taken place. Can't understand why. Might have to troubleshoot a little bit more.
I agree that it is a pain to add a group of names individually and I generally use the Gmail on the notebook for the Gmail app - much easier and faster too.
It appears that the standard mail app is geared towards individual personal mail rather than for professional use. Even then...it could have been better.
Thanks guys for all your input. Looks like there is no solution within the standard mail/contact apps in the immediate future other than using other apps to supplement.

Bookmarking entire PDF Package

I am using Acrobat Standard 8.1.2 (PC) in a income tax office and want to setup tax return preparation workpapers just as if I were using paper files. Information generally arrives by e-mail as a pdf and paper docs that are scanned to pdf. In addition, I also create excel and word docs in the preparation of each return. I want to use the combining feature of Adobe 8 to assemble all documents/files for the project into one package.
Is there a way to have only one set of organizable bookmarks for the entire package of PDFs, WORD Docs (.doc), and/or Excel worksheets (.xls), instead of having separate bookmarks within each separate file?

I know you posted this question long back, just wondering where you able to fix this issue, I am having the same as yours,
I just posted today in this forum, http://forums.adobe.com/thread/722510, Can you please let me know If you have any suggestions

External Reference number not copied in Service Confirmation

Hi,
We are on CRM 5.0 SP11. We have Mobile Service 5.0 SP11.
In Mobile Service in the Service Order creation screen we have a window to input External reference number. When we create a Service Confirmation as a followup document of Service Order, SAP by default only allows to copy Reference Object,Subject and notes (both header and item level) to the Confirmation.
Does anyone have idea how we can copy the External Reference number to Confirmation when we do followup to Service Orders on mobile.
This functionality works fine on Enterprise.
Thanks,
Yatin

Hello,
             The external number won't be copied by standard as Wolhfard said they are different documents.
You need to code this to make this copy from service order to Service confirmation.
Open your Mobile Application Studio and make following changes.
Open the BusinessObject "BOMSVHelper" and view the code. Go to the Method "CopySrvTransHeader" write the following code in it.
Find the code
UserName = _unwind(BusinessRootObject.UserDataDictionary.GetData("USERNAME"))
and paste the following code below it.
        Dim servconfobj As BusinessObject = bocopysrvtrans.SalesInfo
        Dim servtransobj As BusinessObject = orderheaderobj.SalesInfo
        servconfobj.SetAttribute("PoNumberSold", servtransobj.GetAttribute("PoNumberSold"))
        servconfobj.SetAttribute("PoDateSold", servtransobj.GetAttribute("PoDateSold"))

Add Bookmark in PDF File

Hi,
I have to add bookmark in pdf file, i tried so many ways. But no use.
i have a PDf with full text information, i want to add few text (Some words with in the PDF) from the content and need to add them in bookmark. i know i can add manulay but my pdf has 1000 to 2000 pages. so manual process is not easy. Is it any possible way to do in java?
if we need i can get all the word in separate file too. can i read the word from another file and can i add them as a bookmark?
for example, conside the below text which is available in my PDF. from this i want to add few word which is available in BOLD letters.
Delta Enterprises said it would contact the customers who bought 600,000 of these cribs to send them additional parts to make the mechanism safer.
+The other 985,000 cribs under recall, made in Indonesia and Taiwan, use safety pegs in the gate mechanism that customers must install.+
+The recall is one of the largest in US history and follows another recall of 2,000 cribs, also made in China, which was issued by the CPSC on Thursday. A five-month-old infant suffocated after being trapped between the mattress and the crib side and prompted the recall Playkids USA cribs.+
hope i explained clearly.
Please help me.. im struggling lot...
Thanks in advance.

It is, but only if you do it using a script, not through the built-in "Open a web link"-action. Add a "Run a JavaScript"-action with this code:
app.launchURL("http://www.google.com", true);
Of course, you can change the URL to whatever you want.

URL to open an inner PDF within PDF portfolio

Can we open specific inner PDF within PDF portfolio by using URL, like http://www.myserver.com/files/myPDFportfolio.pdf?inner=adc.pdf ?
Imagine a PDF portfolio that includes following multiples files in it.
mytest.pdf
abc.pdf
test.xls
test2.doc
What I want to do is i) click the URL, ii) then open abc.pdf (reside in the PDF portfolio).
Also this URL can be dynamic so that I can create multiple URLs to open each inner files.
Any thoughts?
Thx,
Keishichi

You can't specify embedded files via URL. There are PDF actions of type GoToE that can open embedded files, however. So inside the PDF you can do this.
