Help linking pdf in flash for multimedia cd

For some reason my link to a pdf in an exe for a CD designed
in flash doesn't work- Is there a special trick to this now?
Any help would be greatly appreciated....

I visited the site on Firefox, but I don't see any flash on
the home page. On Safari, I can see it - so first things first -
you need to embed the Flash so it works across all broswers. You
can use swfObject for this - as it is now the standard and Adobe
has adopted it for Dreamweaver CS4.

For AS3, you need to add code to link to the specific URL -
and you can find a pretty good tutorial for that here:

Linking PDF to Flash

I'm still a newbie at this, so pleasse bear with me. I have a links page on a website for myself. I wish to create a link from a hidden button over the text to a pdf file within the project folder. I keep getting errors saying that it cant find the file and points to an address which is totally wrong. This is the code I am using
stop();
var marriages:URLRequest = new URLRequest("marriagesStPauls1837_85.pdf");
function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
navigateToURL(marriages, "_blank");
btSaintPaulBurial1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);
This is the message that I get.
can't find the file at /C|/Users/Admin/AppData/Local/Temp/marriagesStPauls1837_85.pdf.
Is this the right way to link a pdf file to flash?
Is there some other code I should be using?

"Need Help" link no longer exists for developer error troubleshooting

I am completing the "Contact Management" tutorial--which is quite well documented, I must say--and have discovered that the old Interakt Collection had links pop up to diagnose possible solutions to error messages. These have been surreptitiously deleted--thanks a lot, Adobe--with no update in the documentation... What a fantastic idea, though, and a wonderful way to pinpoint problems for learning developers (such as myself)... Ah well, too bad...

Incidentally, what has become of this resource? Even in archived form, it could prove to be an invaluable aid...

Help with Widget in Flash for Captivate 7

Hi,
I am trying to use the Widget in Flash function in Captivate 7, but I keep getting an invalid argument error when the .jsfl script tries to run in Flash Pro CC. The line in question is line 8 - fl.getDocumentDOM().exportPublishProfile('file:///profile.xml');. Can anyone suggest a solution or work around?
I've been looking forward to trying my hand at creating widgets, but it is an inauspicious start.
Thanks,

Linking PDF file in indesign

Hi all
Below is the screenshot shown PDF linking in Acrobat, I am comfort with that I can link pdf file and i can open the pdf file in existing window. Its perfect.
I am trying to do the same process in Indesign ID CS3 I can link PDF file only for buttons I can link PDF file
Q1: Is there any way to link PDF file in ID CS3
I can Link PDF file ID CS4 but the link exports as weblink the pdf file opens in the Web browser not in the acrobat existing window
Q2: I want to open the linked PDF in Acrobat itself and existing window
This can be possible
Thanks in advance
regards
a r u l

I started a thread two days ago, asking almost the same.
I don't know for CS3, because I have CS2 and CS4. In CS4 you can link to any file, but those links don't work as expected.
Means, in the PDF, if I link to another PDF, then it does not simply open. The Reader opens the browser.
If I put those links with Acrobat, then it works. Seems like you will have to do the same.

Please help: Linking from PDF to other PDF's that open in a new window... but NOT in full screen mode!?

Hi All,
I have a project where a PDF is viewed in full screen mode when opened, from within this I wish to link to a variety of other PDF's.
Creating the links is simple, however I can not work out how to control the new window so that the new PDF opens with the toolbars and menus, ie not in full screen mode.
Any help would be apreciated, google is not my friend on this one.
LB.

Hi Thanks for the response.
I thought I had, but what seemed to be happening was that the Linked PDF was
adopting the full screen property of the original PDF. I'll give it another
go and let you know.

The Help Link from the Application Pages Does not Work for Peoplesoft Campus Solutions 9.0

Hi everyone.
I have a problem, I have been trying to set up the Help Link from the Application Pages for Peoplesoft Campus Solutions 9.0 according to the instructions given in the Document: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17566_01/epm91pbr0/eng/psbooks/EnablingtheHelpLinkfromApplicationPages.pdf , (referenced in the Doc ID 1289101.1, E-PB: How to Set Up the Context Sensitive Help with Hosted PeopleBooks using Universal Linking).
I follow the instructions of that document carefully:
I go to: PeopleTools -> Web Profile -> Web Profile Configuration
    2. Then I choose the Web Profile: "Development".
    3. Then Change the value for the Help URL field by entering the following URL format: http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?id=%CONTEXT_ID%&ctx=hrcs90r5 , the ctx parameter selected is the one that correspond to the Campus Solutions (hrcs90r5) according to the Product Line Code Table (ULinkID) especified in the mentioned document.
    4. Stop the Web Domain and Clear cache.
    5. Start the Web Domain again.
After setting up the Web Profile Configuration I test the help links, thas is why I click in the Help link in any Peoplesoft CS 9.0 Application Page (modify a person), but the next error message appears: "We're sorry, the topic you requested was not found.".
I tried many combinations with the ctx parameters URL but it does not work yet.
I did the same test, but this time using the Help URL field with a HRMS ctx parameter by entering the following URL format: http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?id=%CONTEXT_ID%&ctx=hcm92pbr5 , and It works fine !!!
According to the previous test you realize that It works with HRMS ctx parameter but not with Campus Solutions 9.0 ctx parameter, Does anybody know what else can I do ? Am I doing anything wrong or missing? or maybe the Oracle's ctx parameter for Campus Solutions URL It is broken simply.
Thanks for you help and feedback.

2799444 - The page you are testing with appears to be a Workforce Administration page. Is that correct?
The CS PeopleBooks would only work for CS pages, e.g.: try navigating to Main Menu > Campus Community > Personal Information > Add/Update a Person
Also, you can use multiple ctx parameters:
E.g.: http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?id=%CONTEXT_ID%&ctx=hrcs90r5&ctx=hcm92pbr5&ctx=pt852pbh2
This way the help would work for the HR related pages like Workforce Administration, Campus Solutions pages like Campus Community and also PeopleTools pages like Web Profile Configuration. Hope this clarifies your question. Thanks!

iv unistalled flash, iv checked plug ins it just wont work,

It would have been a great help to know precisely what Mac you have, so some of the following may not apply:
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
(If you are running Mavericks: After years of fighting malware and exploits facilitated through Adobe's Flash Player, the company is taking advantage of Apple's new App Sandbox feature to restrict malicious code from running outside of Safari in OS X Mavericks.)
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
You can also try these illustrated instructions from C F McBlob to perform a full "clean install", which will resolve the "Blocked Plug-in" message when trying to update via the GUI updater from Adobe.
Use the FULL installer for 12.0.0.44: Flash Player 12 (Mac OS X)
And the instructons are here: Snow Leopard Clean Install.pdf
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

Linked PDFs do not open in AIR help window

I am creating a help system in RoboHelp 10 and outputting it as AIR help. The help topics include links to several PDF documents, which are stored locally (they are not on a server or Web site). When I click any of the links in the AIR help window, however, the window goes blank; the content from the PDF does not appear. No other windows open, either. How can I get the content from the linked PDFs to appear in the AIR help window? Thanks!

Have you tried including the PDFs in Baggage Files?
I'm not sure that is necessary without testing but it's worth a try. Post back to let us know whether or not that works.

Link to a page in a pdf from flash

I am trying to link from a flash site to a specific page of a
30 page PDF and have had no luck.
I can open the PDF with a getUrl but can not have the PDF
open to the page I need.

I've been trying to figure something like this out for days.
What I want to create is a CD that will have many PDF files that
are accessed with a Flash interface. I have been struggling with
getting the PDF files to link to a button. Online files with
complete http addresses work, but I need this to be a stand alone
CD version. So far getURL does not work for this. Anyone ever try
something like this? I don't care how the PDF files opens. In a
browser window is fine and so is in Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Thanks

"Placing" linked PDF File in Illustrator for Markup Edits?

When I highlight text in a PDF file that is linked to an Illustrator file (PDF is "Placed" in the Illustrator file as a linked object), text highlights in the PDF file do not show up in Illustrator when I update the link. Does anybody know why, or is there some setting or workaround to force the PDF markups to show up in Illustrator?
Reason for Question
I often use Illustrator as a PDF editor because it is much more flexible than Acrobat's clunky editing tools. There are some significant problems however. If you open a PDF page in Illustrator, you lose some stuff like paragraph formatting, which Illustrator wants to left justify (same problem when opening an AutoCAD file in Illustrator). You can also have trouble with missing fonts like Helvetica, which isn't a default system font because it is licensed and expensive. Illustrator will swap the missing font out with a substitute so it can edit the text. (Acrobat will do the same thing if you try to edit a font that isn't loaded in your system).
A workaround to maintain exact registration if I just want to mark up a PDF file (rather than changing the text) is to "Place" the PDF file in Illustrator. When Placed, the file behaves like an object the isn't editable in Illustrator (you can edit a Placed object from Illustrator, but Illustrator will use the authoring application to do the edits, in this case, Acrobat). I you are interested doing the same thing,... when I use Illustrator to mark up another file like PSD, JPG or PDF, I initially open the file in Illustrator to capture the dimensions, and then delete everything, and then "Place" the file back into Illustrator. You can optionally link or embed the Placed object. After Placing, I use the transform tool to move the Placed Object's upper left corner to 0,0 (XY Coordinates) to acquire registration, lock the layer, and do my markups on separate layers.
This procedure is a bit clunky and requires multiple construction files but Illustrator's vector tools are much better than the most of the markup tools (but not all) in Photoshop or Acrobat. A Photoshop file will link to Illustrator, and you can export it back to Photoshop, but the Illustrator construction file will not be "linked" into Photoshop, so if you need to make changes with Illustrator you have a couple of options. You can open the Illustrator smart object from Photoshop (Photoshop will launch Illustrator to do the edits), or you can delete the smart object and work on the Illustrator construction file directly and re-import.
Since you can't select the text of a Placed PDF file object in Illustrator to highlight text, I'd like to do some of the text highlighting in the linked Acrobat file upstream of Illustrator. I should be able to bounce back and forth with both files open, the Illustrator construction file and the linked PDF file. Problem is that when I add a highlight to the PDF file, it does not show up in the Illustrator placed object that is linked to the PDF file.
So back to my original question. Does anybody know why PDF text highlights do not show up in Illustrator when the PDF file is placed as an object in Illustrator? Is there a workaround to force the PDF text highlights to display in Illustrator?
FYI, I working on a business presentation and need to mark up a few pages of IRS publication 463, which is a 58 page PDF document with a bunch of "destination" links (10 to 20 links per page). I can extract a page, do my markup edits, and then "replace" the page back into the original Acrobat file and all the links and bookmarks will still work, but registration is critical.
I'm using CS6
Thanks in advance for your insight.

Mylenium, Thank you for your on-point explanation of why the markups don't import into Illustrator. Based on your input, I did some digging and discovered:
I can export the Acrobat "Comments" (text highlights, but not markups?) to a FDF file
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WS40A4853E-0D48-46a6-8AB6-6B9A27A22D83.html
and then optionally re-import them to another PDF, including a blank document (with the same dimensions to maintain registration) or the final output file. I can then open the PDF (that contains the comments only) using Photoshop and save as a PSD file. Photoshop captures the text highlight color graphic without the white background or text so I am able to achieve transparency. I can then "Place" the Photoshop file as an object on its own layer in the Illustrator construction file as either an embed object or a linked object, but I tend to link for a number of workflow reasons.
Quite clunky, but it seems to maintain exact registration (although for some reason, whenever I place an object in either Illustrator or Photoshop I need to move (transform) the object corner to 0,0 because it is typically off by a pixel or 2). Not sure if there is a way to also export PDF "Markups", but my objective was to use Acrobat's highlighting tools combined with Illustrator's vector graphic tools for markups, so even if I can only export the Acrobat text highlights and not the "Markups", I can still achieve my objective.
From a work flow perspective, I may optionally choose to use the text highlights only as a reference in the Illustrator construction file and turn them off when saving back to PDF. I would then import the text highlights (FDF file) into the final PDF so they are actual Acrobat highlights rather than raster objects, but I do have the option.
I have also noted that I can print an Acrobat file to PDF to capture the text highlights, but that method introduces problems with registration and transparency (the white paper background). I'll often print my final output to PDF rather than saving to achieve a small flat file that will render consistently on different computers, but in this case registration is important so it is better to save to PDF and live with the larger files size.
Why all the fuss? Acrobat is good at highlighting text and Illustrator is good at drawing stuff like curvy paths with variable strokes. Illustrator also has layers and stacking order control. (Acrobat has clunky wannabe layers that are good for limited stuff like multiple versions, but not much help with graphic composition or stacking order). I need workflows that can merge tools from multiple programs (Acrobat, Photoshop, Illustrator, Autocad, and Solidworks). I could do my vector markups in Illustrator, then save to PDF and do the highlights in the final Acrobat file, but if I need to change the vector graphics later I would lose the highlights. Doing the highlights in a separate PDF file and then exporting to a FDF file lets me make changes in Illustrator without having to recreate the highlights from scratch.
Thank you for your assistance. If you have any additional suggestions I am always striving to improve my workflows. btw, I've experimented with some of the 3rd party PDF editor's, but not the expensive ones (less than a few hundred dollars). Most of them do a few things better than Acrobat, but they all have their shortcomings and I'm leery of investing my time in applications that might be obsolete in few years. Perhaps this discussion is better suited to the Acrobat Forum, but I do a lot of PDF editing with Illustrator despite its limitations.
