How can I use hyperlinks in imported PDFs

We need to import PDFs into an InDesign CS6 document and these PDFs have hyperlinks to web sites in them. InDesign doesn't see these hyperlinks and they have to be redone. Is there a way to get ID to recognize these hyperlinks? In case it makes a difference ultimately these pages will be exported as .folio documents and will be published on the iPad.

No. PDFs are imported essentially as graphics. You could draw empty
buttons above them and set them as go to url links.
If you have DPS questions, please post them in the DPS forum.

  • How can I use automator to import a .csv file into a an excel file

    I would still like all the import settings that I get if I am using excel to do the process, i.e. going in with the text format instead of the general format. That way my dates don't change

    You'll need to use Applescript in Automator.
    Note:  File extension cannot be CSV (Excel will assume that the file is comma separated), so add an action to copy or rename with extension TXT.
    (You can rename back at end of Workflow is needed)
    The Applescript Action is:
    on run {input, parameters}
         repeat with f in input
              tell application "Microsoft Excel"
                   open text file filename (f as string) data type delimited field info {{1, text format}} other char "|" with use other
              end tell
          end repeat
          eturn input
    end run
    NOTE: This is formating the 1st col to text
    If you need to format the second, then you need to:
      open text file filename (f as string) data type delimited field info {{1, general format}, {2, text format}} other char "|" with use other
    (You'll need to list the 1st col, 2nd col, etc until you get to the col to format as text).  Formats are (from the Applescript Excel Library):
    [field info list] : A list contain parse information for the individual columns of data.
    Formats are general format, text format, MDY format, DMY format, YMD format, MYD format, DYM format, YDM format, skip column.
    Or you can skip using Automator and just use an Applescript App (this is a droplet, just drop the files on the icon, or click to choose files):
    on run
         set fs to choose file with prompt "Select one or more files to open:" default location alias (the path to desktop folder as text) with multiple selections allowed
         proceed(fs)
    end run
    on open fs
         proceed(fs)
    end open
    on proceed(fs)
         repeat with f in fs
              tell application "Microsoft Excel"
                   open text file filename (f as string) data type delimited field info {{1, text format}} other char "|" with use other
               end tell
          end repeat
    end proceed

  • How can I disable hyperlinks in a pdf

    Sorry if i'm not posting this question in the most
    appropriate category.
    I'm trialing Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional and I'm looking for
    a way to disable the hyperlinks within a pdf.
    Basically in my workplace we provide an information directory
    using a touch screen monitor for members of the public to use to
    research health conditions. I want the members of the public to be
    able to access certain pdf files but not to be able to escape from
    that pdf file. Currently if they click on a hyperlink (whether it
    be an email address or even a linked picture) then they are able to
    escape from what they are supposed to be reading.
    From the 'preferences' - 'general' menu I have unchecked
    'create links from URLs' which now brings up a security message
    asking whether to allow or block the URL but this isn't the
    solution I was looking for.
    I have read about putting a space part way through the URL to
    fool Adobe so that it doesn't recognise the link as a URL but that
    solution just isnt feasible in this case as there are potetially
    hundreds of hyperlinks i would have to find and then edit (also
    this wouldn't work if there are any pictures which are
    hyperlinked).
    I'd be extremely grateful for any help with this problem.
    Perhaps this isn't a feature available in Adobe 9 Professional and
    someone might know which version I should be using.
    Thanks in advance
    Charlotte

  • How can I retain hyperlinks while saving a webpage as PDF via Print?

    How can I retain hyperlinks while saving a webpage as PDF via Print?
    This is the title of an apple forum question, and it is a bug in both Safari 5.1.3 and under, and I find it to also occur in Firefox browser (at least 9.* 10.*, 11.0), running on Lion OS (10.7.2, 10.7.3). See:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3212301?start=0&tstart=0
    Under the newer Mac OS mentioned, and Firefox 10.2, 11.0, 9.*, if I select:
    File -> Print -> PDF -> Open PDF in Preview"
    (and view / save the PDF in Preview, you will see none of the links in the original web page are active
    or using
    File -> Print -> PDF -> Save as PDF...
    same problem. Try this using any Wikipedia page, for example.
    When this problem was posed in Apple forums, by a user of the Safari browser, it was found to be a bug (since Aug 2011) fixed in a Safari browser build 5.1.4 circa Jan 2012. I tried the newer Safari browser and sure enough the problem went away (except that links embedded in the PDF no longer appeared as blue text - ARGH - but "hover over" with the cursor showed the link and clicking the link in Preview viewer activated the link in a browser window).
    So I post this to the Mozilla community, please fix this 'cause I don't want to have to switch over to Safari browser every time I want to archive a PDF with active links!!!!
    P.S. I did a spot-check and with the newer add-on Enjoy Reading 1.0.1 and FF11.0. When the Enjoy reading formatted version appears in the browser window, all URLs/links are preserved and highlighted in blue, but when I print that browser window as PDF, the links are dead (don't work) even though they appear in blue in the PDF.
    So, what's going on, can the Safari fix be researched and applied to FF?
    Also, on some forums, people are responding, Well, try installing Acrobat reader. Well, I don't want to, Preview reader has worked fine for me for years.

    Thanks jscher2000.
    RE: -- '''Generally speaking, PDF converters that work by intercepting a print job do not have access to the URLs behind links in the page.''' --
    I cannot say I agree. I could email you a PDF clipping or two (generated from Safari on Mac OS, in its native capability with no add-ons) that shows you otherwise. When I used PC platforms I did have to install PDF converters (tried both free and expensive ones) that did what I describe.
    I cannot try the add-on you mention, '''Print Pages to Pdf.''' in Firefox. It shows in my browser and Mac OS platform "Not available for your platform." So I am guessing it was written for the PC version of Firefox.
    The Mac OS has had a native PDF-creation functionality for as many years as I have been using it; I used PC prior to that, Win3.1 through XP and NT. And on my PC, I bought (and at work, my employer bought $$$, I had to justify three levels up to management the ability to create PDFs on my work PC) some Adobe functionality to CREATE pdf's (readin's free and easy, makin' em's costly on the PC).
    I've gone and dug through some of my (Mac) doc and clipping archives, and I find that stuff I created after about Dec 2008 or so seems to eliminate all link functionality. When viewed in the Apple native "Preview" application (sort of Apple's equivalent to Adobe Acrobat reader, ships with the OS): link tags are highlighted/tinted, clicking a link opens a (default) browser and takes you there; hover-over the tag text shows the actual link. (Of course, not all old links are still VALID or point to the desired source.)
    I could, in Safari or FF browser window and with no add-ons or Adobe paid products whatsoever, use the native OS method to create PDF's from any application (word processor, spreadsheet, browser, etc) via the menu File -> Print -> Save as PDF menu and create a PDF that had active hyperlinks. In Apple OS Lion 10.7.3, I still can't when it uses this broken WebKit interface, links are "dead" as a doornail until a fix is distributed in WebKit for a future Lion release. It seems this functionality died at least as far back as Leopard OS 10.6.8, but don't quote me on that. Also, my version of Pages 2009 version 4.1(923) (sorta like Word) STILL creates a PDF document that preserves (1) text hyper-links within the document, and (2) web links (in the PDF) that open the browser. I just made a test document.
    When all you can see in the PDF is the tag text, there is nothing to copy-paste to follow any link. Also, hypertext links are often used by authors to create links to other points in a document: now even *that* is broken in the PDF version of the documents I retrieve from the web and print from FireFox (Broken in Safari 5.1.3 and earlier but fixed in 5.1.4).
    Try this on the PC, in your browser and print a news clipping as PDF, do the links in the PDF work? What products do this, and what don't? I would bet the machine with a full Adobe suite this will work flawlessly. (Why should a PC user have to pay hundreds of $ to create this functionality in what I thought was an open standard (PDF)? But that's talkin' religion, let's not start that.)
    Some folks might say,
    go online and find the original source doc in your browser. Or,
    go and add those links manually using the Preview edit add-link capability (hunh? no thanks) , or
    save each item worth saving as an HTML archive instead of a PDF (argh, creating a whole directory in the process, I might add, including ads). Or,
    who needs PDFs, everything is online.
    Or, buy some Adobe product.
    I think they miss my point. This is a real strange dumbing-down of archival PDF documents, or at least a destruction of the ability to use PDF as an archive that retains its links and references.
    C.F. the guy who has archives of scientific papers, and the old material all cross-references nicely but after date X there are no working links.

    Thanks for replying. I am converting from MS Office Word document to Adobe Acrobat Document and opening with Reader XI - sorry my mistake.
    I now notice another problem. On trying to open a specific hyperlink in the pdf version I get the message  'Acrobat does not allow connection to: www.biblegateway.com'.  Why would there be a restriction?

    If an image opens in a different application but you want it to always open in Preview when you double-click it, do this one time: Control-click the file, let go of the Control key, press the Option key, then choose Always Open With > Preview. Or, select the image file, choose Get Info from the File menu, then change the "Opens with:" pop-up menu choice to Preview.

  • How can I use pdf pack to convert cubase documents  (music scores)  into pdfs? I am looking for the former possibility to install acrobat like a printer but i don't have this option with "pdf pack". Can you help?

    How can I use pdf pack to convert cubase documents  (music scores)  into pdfs? I am looking for the former possibility to install acrobat like a printer but i don't have this option with "pdf pack". Can you help?

    Hi mariab,
    What format are those music scores (I'm not familiar with cubase documents). But, it may be that Adobe PDF Pack doesn't support that format. In that case, Acrobat is the way to go. You can then print your files to PDF as you'd like. You're welcome to try Acrobat for free for 30 days to see whether it's going to work for you. If you decide it is, and you'd like to use it going forward, you could convert your PDF Pack subscription into an Acrobat subscription.
    Best,

  • How can I transfer a docx. or pdf. document of microsoft word to the ipad?

    Hello
    How can I transfer my docx. and pdf. files using the newest edition of microsoft office word from my Laptop to the program "pages 09"?
    It seems that pages can only import doc. files? To convert my files makes no sense because the whole layout will be messed up.
    Hope someone can help me with this, or maybe apple is currently working on that behalf

    Are you sure your posting this in the appropriate forum? you mention "Pages 09", but this is the iPad pages forum. (I know the link above does not say "IPad", but it is).
    If this is on iPad:
    Word doesn't open pdf files, only outputs them. Use Goodreader on the ipad to read any pdfs, or other pdf reader that is free.
    I just tried opening a docx file on my iPad and it opened fine in Pages. Just had to replace a font that wasn't on the iPad that I apparenlty had used on the document.
    If not on iPad:
    Desktop Pages opens docx files fine, it did it before MS published the Mac version that saved as docx.
    PDF's should open in Preview.

  • How can we use mode "UsePDF" in Interactive form?

    Hello everybody,
    I want to know that how can i use the mode usePdf in Interactive form?
    My scenario is:
    I have pdf form saved locally with blank fields.
    I save this file after requied values in all fields.
    Now i want to import this pdf file in interactive form and needs to submit this form so all the data in this pdf file are submitted to the System.
    How can i do this?
    regards,
    Bhavik

    Hi Bhavik,
    you do not need to use the upload ui element, if your pdf-file which you want to upload resides in you web application project. In the following you can find Web Dynpro code snippets I use in one of my demos for displaying an uploaded pdf-file:
    wdDoModifyView method of FormView:
        //@@begin wdDoModifyView
         try {
              // get interactive form element by ID
              InteractiveForm form = (InteractiveForm) view.getElement("Evaluation");
              if (wdContext.currentContextElement().getCurrentMode().equals("usePDF")) {
                   form.setMode(WDInteractiveFormMode.USE_PDF);
         catch (Exception e) {
              e.printStackTrace();      
        //@@end
    onPlugFromUploadView method of UploadView:
        //@@begin onPlugFromUploadView(ServerEvent)
         try {     
              // modify the context and set needed attributes
              wdContext.currentContextElement().setCurrentMode( "usePDF" );
              // extend the attribute "pdfSource" from the context to a modifiable binary type
              IWDAttributeInfo attInfo = wdContext.currentContextElement().node().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("pdfSource");
              ISimpleTypeModifiable type = attInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
              IWDModifiableBinaryType binaryType = (IWDModifiableBinaryType) type;
              binaryType.setFileName("evaluationForm.pdf");
              binaryType.setMimeType(WDWebResourceType.PDF);
              // add the generated pdf to the context
              wdContext.currentContextElement().setPdfSource( evaluationForm ); // byte[] evaluationForm
         catch (Exception e) {
              wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportWarning(e.getLocalizedMessage());
        //@@end
    If you do not want to display the data before submitting the data, then you have to use the WDInteractiveFormHelper class for extracting the form data after upload in the context. This class is available since NetWeaver04 Support Package Stack (SPS) 10. The class com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.adobe.api.WDInteractiveFormHelper contains at the moment one helper function for PDF document. Here are the details:
    Constructor Detail
    public WDInteractiveFormHelper()
    Method Detail
    public static void transferPDFDataIntoContext(byte[] pdfSource, IWDNode targetNode)
    Method transferPDFDataIntoContext extracts data from a PDF document and copies the values into the Web Dynpro Context. The xml structure of the document data is applied starting from the specified target node. Usually, this node should be the same context node to which InteractiveForm-UIELement property dataSource is bound during PDF generation.
    Parameters:
    pdfSource - PDF document as byte[]
    targetNode - target IWDNode
    Hope this will help you,
    Regards, Carsten

  • How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes?

    How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes? I wanted my teenager's AppleID to be different from mine so that she couldn't charge stuff to my AppleID, therefore I created me another one. Now when I go to Sync either device, it tells me that this IOS device can only be synced with one AppleID. Then I get a message to erase it, not going to do that, lol. If I logout as one ID and login as the other, will it still retain all synced information on the PC from the first IOS device? If I can just log in out of the AppleID, then I have no problem doing that as long as the synced apps, music, etc stays there for both. I am not trying to copy from one to the other, just want to make sure I have a backup for the UhOh times. If logging in and out on the same PC of multiple AppleIDs is acceptible then I need to be able to authorize the PC for both devices. Thanks for the help. I am new to the iOS world.

    "Method Three
    Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
    This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
    I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks
