How do I convert a Word hyperlink path to point to a converted PDF document?

I have a folder with Word documents that I want to convert to PDF. Many of the Word documents have hyperlinks to bookmarks in other Word documents in the same folder. (I'm trying to convert all the Word documents in the folder to PDF.) After I convert all the folder documents to PDF and click on the hyperlinks, they take me to the old Word documents. Is there a way to convert the hyperlink paths to instead take me to the converted PDF document?

The original Hyperlink path, established in the MS Word files has as the target file some *.doc file.
Edit Hyperlinks, in MS Word, to change the target file(s) to the appropriate *.pdf file.
As a guess, I'd say someone familiar with MS VB might be able to come of with something to do the change programmatically.
An alternative could be a web search for a possible Acrobat JavaScript that might do the job to the PDF files.
Failing that the job would be done manually to each Hyperlink in each MS Word file.
As to MS Hyperlinks to MS "Bookmarks" in other files.
The [ # ] character used as a parameter is not interpreted by Adobe Reader / Acrobat in the same manner as MS Office products.
Consequently, in an output PDF, the link will only open the target file. Note that MS Bookmarks within a DOC file will function in the output PDF.
For PDF Open Parameters see:

  • How to format paragraph string to show content left, Right or middle of pdf document using iTextsharp ' vb

    Dear All
    how to format paragraph string to show content left, Right or middle of pdf document using iTextsharp in visual basic and absolute position on the document.
    Thanks

     Here is one more example that i have modified the GetCell function so that you can use it for adding all the cells to the document.  It takes several arguments to specify everything you need to create each cell.  It now lets
    you specify the Text, the Text Alignment, the Text Font and color, weather the cell shows the Border, the BackColor of the cell, and the Padding values for the Left, Right, Top, and Bottom.
     If you study the code you should be able to figure out how it works.  From here you can figure out the rest of what you need to do and how to use the
    GetCell function.

  • Adding hyperlink in Infopath custom list which opens pdf document available in document library

    Hi,
    I have a custom list(modified in InfoPath 2010) and a document library having 2 pdf documents.
    In the Custom list, i have used the attachment option for another field.
    How to create a link in the InfoPath list, which when clicked opens the corresponding pdf from the document library?
    How to achieve this?
    Thank you

    Hi Venkatzeus,
    From your description, you have a list and attachments for the list are uploaded to a document library. To display the hyperlink in InfoPath form, you can directly use 2 Hyperlink controls. And give the document' URL in this control using formula.
    I’m not sure how you upload the list item attachments to another document library. But make sure you have made a connection between the list item and attachments in document library. Here is an example.
    ListTitle         ID
    Item1     1
    Item2     2
    Pass the ID to the document library when we create the attachment.
    Document Name             ItemID
    attachment1 for item1    1
    attachment2 for item1    1
    attachment3 for item2    2
    attachment4 for item1    1
    attachment5 for item2    2
    So here, we can see attachment1, attachment2, attachment4 are item1’s attachments and attachment3, attachment5 are item2’s attachments, because of ItemID.
    1. Create a new column for document library, named it DocumentURL.
    2. Create a workflow and set to start when new item is created automatically with following action.
    Set DocumentURL = http://server/topsite[%Current Item:URL Path%].
    3. Custom list form.
        1) Add a data connection to receiver data from document library.
        2) Insert document library connection as repeating section.
        3) Add a hyperlink control within the repeating section (Insert > Hyperlink).
        4) Select DocumentURL as the data source for Link To and Display options.
    4. Add a formatting rule to the repeating section control.
    If ItemID in document data connection is not equal to ID in Main data connection, then hide this control.
    5. Done.
    Let me know if you have any question.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • How can I change the format of some of the pages of a PDF-document?

    I use Adobe Acrobat and have a PDF-document with A4 pages and some pages of another format (half of an A4).
    How can I change the format of these pages to A4 (with a lower blanc part)?

    You can increase the page size with the Crop Tool of Acrobat Pro.

  • How do i add a letterhead (company logo) to certain pages of a pdf document? Need to do this all the time!

    I need to add letterhead/logo as a header and footer to certain pages of PDF document. Can I set up a template header and footer that I can select to go onto certain pages of document?
    When I try to add a header in Adobe Acrobat X Standard it only lets me add letters & numbers and not a jpg image logo.

    You could setup stamps, one for the header and one for the footer. Then apply and place the stamps. It may be you can create one stamp to do the job as long as the background is transparent. I am not sure about templates since it is an area I have never played with. Consider these as ideas to try. Not sure how well they will work. If you wait around, someone with better input may drop by.

  • How do I prevent Acrobat from changing paths to linked files when a PDF is saved locally?

    Hi,
    I'm creating a PDF for internal company use. Each page will include a button to view a video; the videos themselves will be hosted on an internal network drive.
    When I create the button in InDesign, I create an Open File action, browse to the video I want to link to, and it creates (what appears to be) an absolute path to the file. When I export to PDF, the path still appears to be absolute in the button properties, and if I open the PDF directly from its network location, the video button opens the video and works properly.
    If the PDF is sent as an attachment or downloaded from the network and saved locally, however, the video links no longer work. The filepath in the button properties still appears to be absolute, but now points to a local folder ("C:\Users\...")
    I need users to be able to download and save the PDF locally, but I don't want to embed a dozen videos, for obvious reasons. How can I ensure, then, that the filepaths to the videos are truly absolute and will consistently point to the network location no matter where/how the PDF is saved?

    It is relative, but I don't want it to be. The problem is that I don't see any way in either Acrobat or InDesign to specify that it must be absolute.
    It sounds like if I were to keep my working file on a local drive and export from there, it would automatically create an absolute link to the network path, but another designer is also working on the project and needs to be able to access the file. I could also copy the entire working folder to a local drive before exporting each time, or manually update the links in Acrobat from a local copy of the PDF after each export... but these both seem like ridiculous extra steps that shouldn't be necessary.
    Is it really possible that neither program allows the user to control whether a link is relative or absolute? Should I post this in the InDesign forums, though the issue seems to be in Acrobat?

  • How to add a image at the top of every pages of a pdf document

    Hi all,
    My problem is as follows. I have a .pdf document and I'm copying it to another and then I'm appending some new things to it. Now while adding new pdf contents I want an image to be added for every new pages added to the document. I tried using "document.getPageNumber()" here document is a Document object which is a part of "itext-1.3.1.jar". But "document.getPageNumber()" is returning 0 every time.
    If anyone has the solution please help me out.
    Regards,
    turja

    there is no cursor to be set, as you go adding
    something in the pdf document those get added to that
    document and if one page gets filled it adds new page
    to it.If it says "current" page, then this implies that something is current with regards to something else. I'd like to know what "something else" is.

  • How to convert a word file into PDF in command line ?

    Hi,
    I want to convert a word (excel, powerpoint, ...) into a PDF using a windows command line.
    The command :
    c:\> acrodist toto.ps
    is working file and the output is a PDF file (toto.pdf)
    But if i try with a MS office word file it is not working
    c:\> acrodist toto.doc
    The output in the console is:
    %%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: ÐÏࡱá ]%%
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    If i do a right clic on the file with the mouse and select in the context menu the option convert to PDF it is working fine :-\
    How can i convert that kind of file with a command line ?
    Thanks for your help
    Xav

    >But, from the windows explorer, if i do a right clic on the word document, with the context menu, i can directly convert to PDF
    This is equivalent to using the PDFMaker facility in Word - that is,
    the Acrobat button. Which is also the same thing that is done when you
    use File > Create PDF > From File in Acrobat.
    What it does is print to a PS file *and* do a lot of additional
    processing to write stuff about links, tags etc. into the PS file.
    >(no tmp PS file is used, cause the links are still working).
    This isn't true, but it's certainly the case that you won't get links.
    There seems to be no API, via any mechanism, still less the "obsolete"
    (Microsoft's view) command line, to use PDFMaker from your program.

    When I sign in to the Adobe Reader XI (which is the only option that I have to open a pdf document, I will sign in to the Adobe ID sign-in page. After I do this, the "Convert To" box goes "gray" and I am unable to convert the document I have selected.  It was working great for the first week that I used it, but now it doesn't give me the converting option.  I am very frustrated as I have done nothing to change anything, and I was thinking this was so great...now I am just pulling out my hair and do not have the option of calling anyone since no phone numbers are listed. I am VERY busy and do not have time to sit and wait over a half an hour to "chat", which I tried to do yesterday.  All I want to do is very simply, convert pdfs to Word.  I have paid for this and am not getting any help. I am not very savvy when it comes to Adobe this program and Adobe that program...I feel I am being scammed as I do not get simple answers for something that appeared was going to be simple. You can't even call customer service to talk to someone live to help walk you through. 

    Hello Kathie,
    Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
    Please let me know if you have tried converting any other PDF to word with Reader.
    Alos, please sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/" using your Adobe ID credentials. Click on 'ExportPDF' tab and upload the PDF that you want to convert to Word.
    Let me know if this converts fine.
    Hope to hear from you.
