File links

I can certainly link to and open a file from within RH, but
if I edit the file can I then save it (Ideally with a new name)?
Also, I seem to be unable to open PDF files.
Any help much appreciated. Thanks

I cannot see a way of people creating new documents and the
RH project knowing about them.
The closest you can get, I think, is to create links to
documents that are created empty and those are used for the new
stuff. Plenty of drawbacks to that.
How about a link to an external document that lists all the
target documents? That could be updated as required and RH would
only have to link to the list.

Multiple file links in a single page: A better way to/efficient way to handle ?

Aloha Everyone!
I would like to ask the community how they have handled multiple file links in a single page. Sort of a pseudo database of files.
Here is the webpage I have been working on:http://huichawaii.org/
Here is what I have done to show files so far:
old version:http://huichawaii.org/proceedings---2012-education%2c-math---engineering-technology.html
new version: http://huichawaii.org/ahs2013-proceedings.html
The website works best in Chrom or Firefox, still have to convert the flash header to an edge animate .
Mahalo in advance for everyone's input!

Depending on what other text you might have, you could use the data list component.
To get the text to have underlines, you will need to edit the repeated item. You can also adjust colors and fonts as well. The default rollover and selected states will probably not be the UI that want, so make sure you change those as well.
Now for the interactivity, select the datalist, and use the interactions panel, choose "On Select", then "Go To Url", the trick is to make sure the "When a specific item is selected" is also set. Here are the basic settings to get your links working:
Add new interactions for each item you want to be functional.

File link not working on Adobe 8.0

Hi,
on Adobe Acrobat 8.0 the File link does not work. For example if I have in the pdf the link: c:\daten\info.doc, I can't open this link. If it is a Weblink then it is working. The customer told me that was working in Adobe6????
On my PC it does also not work!
Thanks a lot!

Hi,

Can't open pdf file linked through a ASPX link in Safari

I'm a new Mac user so sorry if this is basic. It appears when I click on a link in Safari that should open a PDF file (link uses a ASP link) I get the download box instead. I can download the file to my desktop and open it with adobe from there. I just downloaded the latest adobe reader. This is a new intel iMac (10.4.8). If I click directly on a link to a PDF file it opens in Safari with no problem. The specific link I'm having trouble with is :
http://www.rochester.k12.mi.us/download.aspx?ft=MzAwMTV8fHwyNC4xOTIuMTM5LjE4NXx8 MS8yLzIwMDcgODo0OTozNyBQTQ%3D%3D
It seems to see the file as having a ".pdf.exe" extension so doesn't open it with adobe but sees it as an application so offers to download or cancel.
Really clicking on any PDF link from this page causes the same problem : http://www.rochester.k12.mi.us/index.asp?folder=15700&name=Physical%20Science
These links act OK using IE. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks...Jim

Sorry for the insufficient info.
My environment is Windows 7 64bit.
The PDF was converted from Word file and for example the link which should open a local file was working on version 10.1.1.33 (like first picture below) but not anymore after updating to 10.1.4(second one).
Can you help me with this?

No longer able to follow local file links.

In previous versions of firefox ( 28 and Earlier ) I was able to follow local file links by whitelisting them in the user preferences file as shown here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_to_local_pages_do_not_work
This functionality has ceased to work with the update.

You might find a similar bug already posted, but if not, sure, others are going to have the issue.
I guess one question is implementation. What mechanism is replacing capability preferences? If there isn't something that general purpose, what kind of site-level permission could be relevant?
And if the need is not clear, what are the use cases for http:// to file:// access that the developers need to consider? Or is it for file:// to file:// access that's most critical?

Issue with opening PDF file link from Safari

Hi Everyone,
I got a problem with opening PDF file link from Safari 4.04. Instead of getting a normal pdf content, it shows some weird characters. Not sure it is something wrong with Adobe Reader Plugin or Safari?
I have uploaded a screenshot of the issue in the adobe forum (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/531870). Please help!
Many Thanks,
John

There's nothing wrong, except the fact that you have Adobe Reader installed. You don't need it, so get rid of it; it will only cause problems with Safari. What you're seeing is the contents of the PDF file, rather than having it displayed.
If you want to download a PDF file, you can either Control-click on the link and choose "Download Linked File As…", or you can Option-click on the link for the file and it will be downloaded to your Download folder (usually your Desktop).
If you want to view a PDF file in Safari, you don't need Adobe Reader; Safari is perfectly capable of doing this by itself and has been for years. Adobe Reader will only get in the way and slow everything down.

Network and 'file:///' links do not open after upd...

In older versions of Skype we could use links like:
file:///C:/Users/Dmitry/Pictures/CloudShot/shot_150228_130027.png
\\m1fsg1.msk\share\AT\F1\ScreenShots\shot_150227_172758.jpg
After major update (version with new UI) these links doesn't anymore =(
'file:\\\' links are not even highlighted anymore, netwok links are highligted but not working either. See image below with URL samples:
Is there soluiton for that?

Possibly a result of using a different home page, I use my own home page and have not seen any difference in regards links opening within the same tab, another tab, or another window in conversion from Firefox 3.6.17 to Firefox 4.0.1
Generally you would have your Tools > Options > Tabs set up to open New Windows in New Tabs instead. You would have Google open links in a New Window which equates then to a new tab (but the same new tab each time).
You can change your settings for Google searches at the top of a Google search results page "Search Settings". Stored in cookies or at Google, you may have to set up separately for logged in and not logged in to Google.
Did you have extensions to work with Google, they may not work anymore, check them out carefully. "Google Optimizer", "Optimize Google" both no good to me, but I can use "Google Enhancer" and "Adblock Plus" to do what those did for me.
These are options for Tabs that I have that differ from the default,
* |browser.tabs.closeButtons| 3|
* |browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab| false|
* |browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent| false|
* |browser.tabs.loadFolderAndReplace| false|
* |browser.tabs.loadGroup| 0|
* |browser.tabs.loadInBackground| false|
* |browser.tabs.loadOnNewTab| 1|
* |browser.tabs.openinnewtab| true
* |browser.tabs.tabClipWidth| 5|
* |browser.tabs.tabMinWidth| 0|

File Links in PDF getting messed up when viewed in browser

When we put a file link in a PDF (\\servername\sharename\directory\file.doc) and display that PDF in a browser, when we click on that link, it becomes http://webname/servername/sharename/directory/file.doc which does not work at all.
I have tried the current versions of Reader 8 and 9, as well as an old copy of 6.1 in browsers ID6/7/8 and Firefox 3.5.
Our web unit insists that it didn't used to do this.
If I change the Reader option to not open inside the web browser, then clicking on the file link works fine. It's just when Reader opens up in the browser that we have this problem.
Anyone else run into this? Our folks really like Reader inside of the browser.
Thanks.

This is a post for Adobe Acrobat, not Adobe Reader as it is a functionality issue with Acrobat. It is peculiar, I am having the same problem when I save the file to a local Windows Home Server.
I have a link called file://whsservername/foldername and it becomes file://whsservername/foldernamewherepdfislocated////whsservername/foldername which is totally convoluted. I am trying to research a solution for this but if anyone else knows what settings to change in Acrobat that would be a great help to post.

Can you trace which Indesign files link to a specifik image?

I have an image database, that multiple Indesign files link to.
I am not the original author of the Indesign files nor the image database, so I have no overview of how many Indesign files links to each image.
And now I have an image I would like to make a change in - but I am afraid to do so, when I do not know in which Indesign files the image is used.
So my question is - is there a way to track links made to a specific image in any Adobe programme?

May be Flow could do the trick for you....?

File Link Framemaker option not available, plz assist...

All-
(Also posted in RoboHelp HTML forum. Redoing in this forum since it seems topical.)
On my new Robhelp 8 HTML installation, I can't see the File>Link>Framemaker option, just File>Link>Word Document. Is there something I have to do to enable the Framemaker option?
Interestingly, on another computer with a trial copy of Robohelp 8, I DO see the Framemaker option. Not sure why I shouldn't with the new install.
Please assist.
Thanks in advance.

Hi there
I think one of the issues at play here deals with security and Adobe protecting their assets. There are mechnasims in place that prevent a user from repeatedly installing a trial over and over and over, therefore having a never ending "free trial" period. And it would appear that this may be somewhat at play in an odd way when the trial has been installed and perhaps now you are installing the trial of TCS.
Just sort of thinking out loud.
Cheers... Rick

Cross-file links failing under Linux

(Cross-posted to FrameUsers list)
FM 9 p250 on WinXP Pro SP3
Acrobat Pro Extended 9.3.2
I am struggling with links across PDF files. They all work in Windows, but some work and some don't under Red Hat Enterprise 4 Linux.
I am using the following directory structure to create a hierarchy of "menu" pages with links to other PDFs:
C:\nCode Desktop 6.0 ISR2\nCode Desktop 6.0 ISR2\source_docs\contents\Draft for .fm files and .book files; C:\nCode Desktop 6.0 ISR2\nCode Desktop 6.0 ISR2\source_docs\contents\Draft\graphics for graphics.
There are about 50 other directories for PDF documents (they are what you arrive at using the menus), one for each .book and .fm file set, with a path such as C:\nCode Desktop 6.0 ISR2\nCode Desktop 6.0 ISR2\source_docs\designlifetheory\draft. This creates designlifetheory.pdf. There are crosslinks to other pdfs from within some of these files.
For the Contents "menus", I have created one book per menu. Menus are a single page long.
All of the books create single pdfs (i.e., not multiple files per book). The books are all output to a single directory, C:\nCode Desktop 6.0 ISR2\nCode Desktop 6.0 ISR2\Deliverables.
I am using the newlink and gotolink commands. The newlink commands are all on master pages. The gotolink commands are all on body pages. A typical gotolink would be "gotolink map_of_help.pdf:helpmap". This one seems to fail consistently on Linux. I have tried using "gotolink map_of_help.fm:helpmap", which also fails. Should I be using ".fm" instead of ".pdf" in the link?
The .pdfs are created using Print to Adobe PDF. The PDF Setup is Settings: Standard Job Options, View Generated PDF in Acrobat, Convert CMYK Colors to RGB; Bookmarks: Generate PDF Bookmarks; Tags: Generate Tagged PDF; Links: Create Named Destinations for All Elements and Paragraphs.
I have tried placing all the books in a single directory using Save As, with all the paths relative, and books open, and with books closed. I have tried dumping all the .fm files and .book files into the same directory. I have tried outputting to various directories. I have combed the archives, and tried to follow Shlomo's training module on "FrameMaker Books & Cross-File Links."
I don't seem to get it, whatever it may be.
Any help for this newbie appreciated.

Your links look okay, directory-wise.
A link would be traversing the root directory if, say, the document is in some subdirectory below C:\nCode Desktop 6.0 ISR2\ and the target was in, say, C:\nCode Masters 6.0 ISR2\....blah blah or on a different disk.
One other thing: Maybe it's just me and my UNIX background, but using spaces in pathnames or filenames just feels like you're asking for trouble, especially if you want the end product to be portable to other platforms.
If the links are relative and they work on Windows, as you say they do, then my guess is that Reader on Linux is the problem. Try viewing them using xpdf on Linux and see if the links work then.
As matter of fact, I issue a very large manual set (69 manuals with approximately 400,000 links) for my Linux customers, and some time ago I abandoned Reader 8.1.2 on Linux in favour of xpdf because I didn't have the time to wait for a fix. The truth is, the links in Reader 6.0 didn't work either, and I was fed up with having to test every new Reader version that came out to see if it actually worked.
I'd be interested to know if you trace the problem to Reader on Linux, and if you find a Reader version later than 8.1.2 on Linux that works.

Safari and PDF file links

Why can't I open PDF file links in Safari? The new window that opens shows only a black screen. I have the latest verison of Mac software and Adobe software loaded.
Thanks,
Cyn ~

To view PDF in Safari Preview remove Adobe plug ins if any.
Macintosh HD > Library > Internet Plug-ins
Look for these two files.
AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin
AdobePDFViewer.plugin
Right click it and then select Move to Trash”.

Why is the "open with" option always grayed out when I click on a file link?

For example, when accessing an email account with firefox and I click on an .mp3 attachment the "open with" choice is always grayed out. This issue is not exclusive to email attachments rather all file links that I click on any site give me the same result. I am using MAC OS X Mavericks.
How can I restore the "open with" selection?
Thanks for your time,
Chris Woods

You can try rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.

How to "package" an ill. file, links and all...

So I just finished a project at breakneck speed and now I have an illustrator file (cs4) with links all over the place, etc.
I believe there is a way to create a package of sorts, where by I can have the illustrator file as well as all the files linked to it copied neatly into one folder so that I don't have to do it manually. Did I make this tool up in my head? I can't seem to find it.
First time user here, starting architecture school--- I'm sure I'll wind up being a regular.
Thanks!

No, I think you were thinking of InDesign's collect assets functionality. As far as I'm aware something similar is not available in AI. A script may exist, but I don't know it then....
