Help keeping hyperlinks active when exporting as PDF!

Any ideas on how to maintain the bookmark and figure hyperlinks when viewed as a PDF?.. The links work fine on the iPad and within iBA but once exported as a PDF links will not work on my Mac or other computers the PDF is sent to. Apple's support page says hyperlinks should work, however I have not had any success with them. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get them to work?
Thank you.

None work for me.
If that's critical for an ebook, use another tool such as Pages, InDesign, calibre, etc.

Hyperlink problem when exporting to PDF

We are using Crystal Reports XI R2 and having a problem when exporting a report to PDF that contains a Hyperlink to "A File". The hyperlink works correctly when previewed inside Crystal but when it is exported to a PDF the text does not appear to show any hyperlink at all. Am I missing something or is this a bug?

Multi line hyperlinks problem when exporting to PDF

I have a problem with hyperlinks i multiple lines when exporting a InCopy document to PDF. Its only the first line of the hyperlink that actually gets convertet to a link in the PDF file, the second line is just text.
Is this a known problem and is there a fix or a workaround?
We are using fully pached InCopy CS5 and Acrobat 9.

Is there are a real hyperlink there or are you counting on Acrobat to convert it for you?

Hyperlink rollover when exporting to PDF from InDesign

I am creating an interactive PDF in InDesign. The first page has links to different URLs. I would like to change the text that shows up with the rollover text over each hyperlink when viewed as a PDF. It shows the URL automatically, I'd like to write the company name associated with each site to make it look more streamlined. Is there a way to do this? Thanks!

Any ideas on keeping images on master pages consistently high quality display when exporting to pdf?

Set up the Preflight panel so it checks image resolution. Ask your printer what the appropriate resolution is for your printing process, and set that in Preflight.

Images downsized and converted when exporting to PDF

I have Pagemaker 7.0.1 installed on Virtual XP so that I can help out a family member.
Pagemaker's embedded Acrobat 4 was not working properly so I installed my Acrobat 9.0 on Virtual XP. This unfortunately has not solved the problem, which is:
My images are greyscale and 300 ppi when imported into Pagemaker. When exported to PDF using Acrobat 9.0, the images are being converted to CMYK and exported at about 50% of the actual size. Interestingly, those images that are only at 200 ppi are converted but not downsampled.
This is happening no matter how I fiddle with the settings. Happens to both jpegs and tiffs.
I found an old thread on another forum where this problem occurred but a solution was not found or posted.
Any ideas?
Michelle

This reply is a series of comments and suggestions rather than a definitive answer.
1. Your set up is less than perfect, if not unstable, and will be prone to all sorts of bizarre behaviours.
2. Never copy/paste a graphic or table into PageMaker. Always use the Place command. The only "exception" would be that you can copy and paste a properly Placed graphic from within your PageMaker document.
When placing images in a PageMaker file, the following message appears: “The graphic in the linked file would occupy xxxxxxx bytes in the publication. Include the complete copy in the publication anyway?” The correct answer to this question is always "NO".
(You can permanently avoid this popup in future docs by unchecking "store copy in publication" under Element -> Link Options with no publication open. You can do the same to avoid further prompts in pre-existing documents.)
3. Try updating PM to Ver 7.0.1a which had a better Export… AdobePDF…macro. http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=34&platform=Windows
4. In PageMaker’s Print dialogue, click on the Options button, and check "Write PostScript to File." Select the "Normal" radio button. Set both Type 1 and TrueType fonts to download. As always, set the Send TIF/Images option to Normal and NOT Optimized. Make other settings elsewhere in the print dialog as desired, such as "paper" size, crop marks, separations, etc.
5. With your non-standard setup, try the two stage print then distill process. Create a PS file using a postscript printer file, then load Distiller and convert the PS file to PDF. Note: if you have hyperlinks in your PMD file, they will not appear in your PDF and need to be re-created using Acrobat.
6. It's time to leave PM and move on to InDesign - see it as PM Ver 13.
7. Aternatively, use PM7 on a contemporary Win2K PC. http://bigjohnd.org.uk/PageMakerExportPDF/index.htm

When exporting to PDF, the pictures are not the same size I "placed" them

I am "placing" pics that are 653 x 983 pixels, 300 DPI, using CS4. However, my issue is when exporting to PDF, the PDF doesn't look like the same size I "placed" the pic until I blow it up to about 350%. I do not have a printer set up to my computer so I can't do the print/pdf option. Am I doing something wrong here? I can't figure it out. Your help is appreciated. Thanks!

Well, right when I open the PDF, it's just way too small, imagine it being the size of a business card. I have to keep zooming in until it gets to the size I originally intended it to be. When I create a new document am I suppose to make it the same size as the picture?

Any way to reduce the resolution when exporting to .pdf

We are emailing reports. On some reports with a large number of jpegs we are hitting a size limitation. It would be helpful to reduce the resolution on the jpegs when exporting to .pdf. Any way that would be possible?

Hi,
Need more info-
VS version? or the developing application?
CR Version? Are you directly emailing your reports from CR designer?
Also once the image is fetched by the report, we can not make any changes in the image, as a work around you need to do required changes in the image before adding it to the reports, and as far as I know it is not possible through code, but we can wait for other responses though.
Sincerely,
Amit

Report Title and Text Area issue when exported to pdf using Viewer

Hi there,
We are using OracleBI Discoverer Version 10.1.2.55.26
We have reports that displays Report title containing the following
- Report Title
- Runt Date and Time
- Page No
And text area which displays 'Last Page'
Following properties are set at the worksheet level using page setup
Report Title --> 'Print on every Page'
Text Area --> 'Print on last page'
The report when exported to PDF using Discoverer plus works fine and displays report title and text area as defeined.
But when we try to export the same report to pdf from Discoverer viewer, it displays
- Report title on first page only.
- text area on all pages
All our users accesses report using discoverer viewer so we cannot open discoverer plus to them.
Is there a solution which will enable us to export the report in pdf using discoverer viewer and displays the same output as discoverer plus.
Please let me know... If you have any questions then please feel free to ask.
Thanks in advance for your help...

but when opened on other os x machines some text is colored differently than it should be
Well, if typographic objects are colour managed, the colour appearance is dependent on the source ICC profile that describes the colourants in the typographic objects and the destination ICC profile that describes the colours the display is able to form and the RBC colourant combinations that will form those colours.
In general, typographic objects should have special treatment, since the expectation is not that typographic objects should be colour managed, but that typographic objects should simple be set to the maximum density of dark. On a display, that is R=0 G=0 B=0 and on a seperations device (a lithographic press) that is C=0 M=0 Y=0 K=100.
If for some reason typographic objects are colour managed, and if the ICC profiles for the displays are off by half a mile or more in relation to the actual state of the display system, then the colours will not be the same. On the other hand, if those displays are calibrated and characterized, then the colourants will be converted to form the same colours on the displays.

Fontissue when Exporting to PDF CS5

Commented on linked thread and advised to start new tread.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/651071?tstart=0
When Exporting to PDF from ID CS5 I have seen font displace and disappear.
Have done some tests since my post on linked tread, and find out, using PDF/X_1a:2001 (PDF version 1.3), it works fine. But when I use PDF version 1.4 and above fonts randomly dissappears. See first picture below.
OK, for me as this is only going to print, but with 1.3 we loose hyperlink and bookmarks if used in other media.
Have seen font displace when Exporting to PDF, (Second picture) and in this case there was no way to get it right with options mentioned above. Only way it came out right was to outline the font...and also PS - Distiller worked fine.
I have found my workarounds, but I would really like to trust the Export to PDF in the future as that is the way Adobe advice us to use.
Workaround 1. Use PDF version 1.3
Workaround 2.
In (application folder) Adobe Indesign CS5 - Presets
Make a new folder - PPDs
Put (ADPDF8.PPD or ADPDF9.PPD) into this folder. (I had a backup of these files, cant find them online...!?!?)
Makes it possible to print PS from InDesign and use Distiller.

@Clement,
We've determined the root case of the text shifts you're seeing in at least one of the cases. In the Animals_Me_Spreads.indd file is having text drop out due to soft returns at the ends of Text on Path objects. We are investigating what would be necessary to fix it, and would hope that we can address it in a future update or release. In the meantime, you should be able to elimiate the problems by eliminating the use of soft returns on Text on Path objects, for example, replace them with hard returns, or limit one story to a path and make the second path contain a separate story.
Sincerely,
Matthew

Formatting and alignment issues in Crystal Reports when exported to PDF

Hi Experts,
When we export the crystal reports 2013 reports to PDF we are facing issues with formatting and alignment. The columns are overlapping and also for some column's data, we are able to see only some parts of text when exported to PDF.
Data source for these reports is EHP 7 (SAP ECC 6.0), BO 4.1, Crystal reports 2013.
As these reports are on priority, your help and suggestions are much appreciated.
Looking forward to hear from you guys.
Thanks & Regards,
Vijay.

Error in character spacing when exporting to pdf from word 07

I am having trouble with exporting to pdf from MS Word 07. The character spacing throughout the document is wacky. This also happens when exporting to pdf from a GIS program.
Any help?

I use the term export because that is how it is done in the GIS software that I use - ArcMap 10.
In MS Word I access Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 through the print menu. I am using Windows 7.
I do not always have this trouble, but it started yesterday on a 30 page word doc and then after that, it started on an ArcMap doc.
As for embedding fonts, when I check the Word doc as you suggested, i see many different fonts listed. Some are embedded, some embedded subset, some are not embedded at all. I use styles to manage font types and heading levels. There is nothing fancy about it - all Times New Roman.

Background Colour Incorrect when exporting to PDF from Crystal Reports 2008

Hello All
When exporting to PDF from CR2008 the background colour of the crosstab is incorrectly displayed. The problem is as follows to create a crosstab with a grey header row and column details in white we have used the following trick.
Format Cross Tab Border Background is set to Silver.
Crosstab Expert Grand Total Background colour is set to white.
The result is a crosstab with header in grey and details in white.
This report displays correctly in CR2008, and exports as seen on screen to everything but PDF. When exporting to PDF the Crosstab is completely grey taking on only the Background colour of silver, and ignoring the Grand Total Background colour being set to white.
What is strange that when I print to PDF the format is also displayed exactly as required,
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Some additional details.
CR2008 version 12.3.1.683
Adobe Reader version 9.3.3
Windows XP Professional
Thanks
Phillip

If this is a big issue for you then please purchase a case and a Rep can duplicate and escalate to R&D.
As a work around export to Editable RTF and in Word 2007 you can get a PDF export plug-in and then export to PDF.
Thank you

When exporting to PDF fonts are replaced

I have had this happen several times when exporting to PDF from CS6 with no font errors, all the fonts have been changed in the PDF to another font. Not the default either, but just a different font altogether.
Has anyone heard of this or experienced this?

It is pretty easy to determine the fonts are wrong by visual inspection followed by the text edit tool in Acrobat X to confirm what font it is. The original fonts on this particular file were Gotham and they were replaced by Helvetica and our default missing font is Courier. I have found numerous threads with the same or similar problem dating back to September 2014 where they were blaming Indesign CC for the problem, with another person replying they had the same issue with CS6. Some of the advice given to them was to load the fonts locally rather than across a network to a server. The problem is not repeatable that is to say when you notice the issue with your PDF you open the file and export it again and the fonts are now correct with no changes to the file or the way you loaded the fonts. What is alarming is this is intermittent with no font warning while exporting or any further font warnings if the PDF is Normalized through Kodak Prinergy. It is like the postscript code is being written with a replacement font.
I have enclosed the thread I found and we are going to load fonts locally to see if this helps, if you have any other advice it would be greatly appreciated.

Fuzzy vector graphics when exporting to PDF?

Hi all,
I've switched to Fireworks from Omnigraffle because I work in a Windows environment and there isn't a Windows-compatible version of Omnigraffle available.
I've noticed that when I export mockups/wireframes that I create in Fireworks to PDF, that the vector images are all fuzzy, as if anti-aliasing has gone overboard. This never happens when I create mocks/frames in Omnigraffle - what I see on the screen is what I get from the printer.
Should I be adjusting my settings in Fireworks somehow, say changing the DPI settings when creating a document, turning anti-aliasing off with text, or anything like that? Is there some magic bullet combination that will give me clean wireframes with crisp, clear edges (including text) in Fireworks?
Thanks so much!

We are having a similar issue. Importing a perfectly justified word document as an OLE Object in Crystal. The document seems perfect in the viewer but when exported to PDF, the text seems to overlap each other and there are huge spaces between words. Using Crystal 11 release 2 (version 11.5.8.826). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
