  • How do I open a link in a pdf in iOS App Adobe Reader 11.6.4?

    When I open a pdf in iOS App Adobe Reader 11.6.4 I cannot click on a link, the link is underlined but I have no possibility to choose that link. On a PC this link in the same PDF is functioning correctly.

    Michael,
    Your form is a special type of form called a "static XFA form" (typically authored with Adobe LiveCycle Designer).
    The "links" in the static XFA form are actually buttons (form fields) that act like hyperlinks.
    Unfortunately, Adobe Reader mobile products (including Adobe Reader for iOS, Android, Windows Phone) do not support static (or dynamic) XFA forms.  Sorry for the inconvenience.
    The static XFA buttons for web links did not work with any of the non-Adobe PDF viewers that I tried on my iPad, either.  So the users who receive the static XFA form will experience the same problem on mobile devices.

  • How to set Preview as Default instead of Adobe Reader

    How can I set Preview as the default application for PDF files instead of Adobe Reader?

    Go to a PDF file and selected it. Either "File"- "Get Info" in the menu bar or press Cmd-I. This will give you a pop up screen where you have an section called "Open with".  Go there, select Preview as the application to open the document with, press the "Change All" button and confirm.

  • How do I get images to automatically center in a picture box?

    How do I get images to automatically center in a picture box (e.g. place a picture box on a master page and set it so that any image placed inside will automatically center, but not scale)? This was a simple procedure in CS5 (set "Fitting Options" to 'center' by clicking on the center box in the 9-box centering tool) but seems to have disappeared in CS6/CC. Am I missing something?

    Hi and thanks. Actually, my problem is with setting the properties of the image frame to 'align center' before an image is placed, allowing me to place large numbers of images and having them automatically center instead of me centering each one manually. Even when I create an object style the frame will not hold any alignment settings and apply them to the image being placed (unless some manner of scaling has been chosen, which is not something I want). There are work-arounds I have used but it would be nice to be able to just put a picture box on a master page, set it to align it's contents to the center and just be done with it . Thanks though.

    Do a Get Info on one of the PDF files - select the file (click it once), then press Command-I (Get Info in the File menu).
    In the Get Info window, about half-way down is an item "Open with:" - set the pulldown menu in that section to "Preview".
    If you want to make that change to all PDFs, then click the "Change All..." button.

  • I created a PDF of my book in Preview and encrypted it. When opened in Adobe Reader, it is rotated to the vertical position rather than the original landscape position. How do I fix this in Preview? I don't want my buyers to have to hassle with rotating.

    I created a PDF of my book in Preview and encrypted it. When opened in Adobe Reader, it is rotated to the vertical position rather than the original landscape position. How do I fix this in Preview? I don’t want to hassle my buyers with rotating. There was no option in Preview to account for this automatic and unwanted rotation.

    Then you rotate it and SAVE or SAVE AS and it will remain that way.

  • How do I get Itunes to automatically delete nonexistant songs???

    How do I get Itunes to automatically delete nonexistant songs??? I am referring to the songs that remain on itunes after you change their name or directory or whatever. It takes too long to delete individual songs. Is there some sort of plug-in available? THANKS!!

    10000 responses and you didn't know there was a script that does this?
    It's a Windows specific script (not iTunes).
    On a Mac, we just use Applescript to do this type of stuff. I'm surprised you didn't know this.

  • How do I set Preview to be the PDF defult reader?

    How do I set Preview to be the PDF defult reader?

    Thanks T P I got this from your search:  http://osxdaily.com/2011/10/31/set-default-pdf-viewer-mac-os-x/
    for others here is the answer.
    If you’ve downloaded Adobe Acrobat on the Mac you’ve probably discovered that it takes overPreview as the default PDF viewer in OS X, which is annoying because Acrobat is slow to load and a fairly bloated application. There’s little need to use Acrobat Reader as the way to view PDF files, so here’s how to change it back to Preview.
    Change the Default PDF Viewer in Mac OS X
    From the Mac OS X desktop, find a PDF file and hit Command+i to “Get Info” on the file
    Click on the arrow next to “Open with:” to expand and access the default application list
    Click the pull-down menu and choose “Preview” from the list, or if it’s not visible, navigate to it by choosing “Other”
    With Preview.app selected, click on the “Change All” button
    This will restore the leaner and very capable Preview app as the default PDF viewer in OS X and prevent the lengthy launch of Acrobat anytime a PDF is opened. This tip will be of less use if you need the full functioned Acrobat version, but for the average person just looking to quickly open pdf docs this can be a significant time saver.
    If you want a quick PDF file to use for this tip, you can grab the Apple history book “The Macintosh Way” for free (direct PDF link).

  • How do I get previews in full screen?

    Bridge CC on MacBook Pro 15" Retina: How do I get previews in full screen? Images with a height of less than 2000 pixels do not fill the screen.

    thanks Tom, well you are right, but because so much of Final Cut footage is played back in QT I almost think of it as an an appendage of the program. I can repost this, but do you know the answer?

  • How do I get numbers to automatically add the next date down a column in numbers?

    How do I get numbers to automatically add the next date down a column in numbers?

    Hi Dd,
    If you want the next date automaitcally  filled in when you add a row to the bottom of the table, you can use a formula.
    Here's an example, done in Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09). The method is basically the same in Numbers 3.
    Formulas in row 3:
    B3: =B2+1
    C3: =C2+7
    D3: =D2+14
    These have been filled down to the last row of the table.
    The same table is shown below after three rows have been added by dragging the Row control handle (below the tab for row 7) down. No changes other than adding thse three rows were made by the user.
    Note that rows 1 and 2 are header rows, and that row 2 contains the starting date for the seraies of date in each column. In the formula, the number at the end tells Numbers how many days to add to the previous date to get the next date.
    Autofill of the formula requires that every non-header cell located above the cell into which the formula is to be filled contains the same formula.
    Regards,
    Barry
