How to find broken links or cross-references in a PDF file?

Hi,
Recently I have been trying to figure out if there is a way to find out any broken link(s) in a PDF file. I'm aware that in FrameMaker we can search for Unresolved Cross-references and fix them, but is there such feature in Acrobat?
Any suggestions on this would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

There's nothing in Acrobat itself, but there are 3rd-party program plug-ins that do the job.  I use 'Autobookmark' (http://www.evermap.com/autobookmark.asp) which does a very good job of finding and marking broken links and allows keyboard-entry editing without having to re-browse the link if you already know the correct path.  It also facilitates a lot of other useful functions that Acrobat makes rather tedious (like changing the zoom setting on all links or bookmarks).

  • How would you convert ToC links to cross references?

    Hello gang,
    InDesign CS6 can export to ePub, and can support the exporting of one ToC to ePub hyperlinks, but cannot support two. Is there a script or plug-in that you know of that can take a second or third selected ToC generated, and convert its links to cross-references, so that more than one ToC can result in an html-based link once we export to ePub?
    Many thanks for any pointers,

    Hi Ariel,
    Can you let me know if your script could be useful to me? Here's my situation:
    I have a ~250 page document with a lot of named cross references.
    I want to generate a formatted list at the end of the document of all these cross references, in the order they appear in the text, in a format like this:
    P<page no>, <name of reference>: Note about this cross reference.
    (where the <page no> and <name of reference> are drawn from the text anchor in the main text of the document, and the note about the reference is manually typed in to the reference list.)
    Any thoughts appreciated! I have a decent handle on Javascript in a web development context but haven't used it to script InDesign before.
    Thanks

  • How to search for a certain cross reference using its name in FM 11?

    How to search for a certain cross reference using its name in FM 11?

    Well, thank you. I am only using Find dialog box. By "name", I'd like to give an example. The background is FM 11 structured. I have an element "xref" which is used to make cross reference. Now In Chapter 1, there is a sentence like "This is an ODU for ...". I made a cross ref of the word "ODU" to its full name "outdoor unit" in Chapter 2 (in the same book). After this, the word "ODU" in the sentence in Chapter 1 will no longer be a plain text. So I no longer can use the find dialog box to search for "ODU" because it is already an xref rather than text. I am not if it's clear.

    Greetings,   I am attempting to repair all broken links for a assignment in Dreamweaver CS5  C7  and I could not find any instruction in the text  on how to repair broken links.. How is it done?

    The simplest way is to remove old links and insert new ones via the link field in your properties panel.

  • How to find the link between strcture and query technical name

    Hi Guru's
    How to find the link between Strcture in the query and query technical name. In other way where used list of the structure  used in queries?
    I know we have table called RSZELTDIR which have the values of strcuture name. from here i do not find any link to query technical name.
    Please can anyone help me?
    Regards,
    Sirisha

    Hi ,
    For structure and query relationship, the structure has to be a reusable structure( a global one). Then you can right click in on the structure name (in BEX query designer) and select the where used list. You will find all the query names where it is being used.
    U can also check out tables RSRREPDIR and RSZCOMPDIR for other query properties.
    Thanks,

  • How to find the link between tables  CRMD_ORDERADM_H and  BBP_PDORG ?

    HI,All
        By TCODE  BBP_PD,  I cann't find the link by GUID between tables CRMD_ORDERADM_H (Header) and  BBP_PDORG (Purchase Organization) ,  why?  how to find this link?
       thanks
      Jesse.

    Hello Jianxin,
    It depends on document category type.
    For Shopping Cart, no link exist between CRMD_ORDERADM_H and BBP_PDORG tables as purchasing organization is defined at item level.
    For Purchase Order, using BBP_PDORG-SET_GUID, you get PO header GUID (GUID_HI) in table CRMD_LINK where CRMD-LINK-GUID_SET = BBP_PDORG-SET_GUID.
    Regards.

    If I create an HTML link to a destination within a .PDF file, it works fine in IE but not in Firefox. The code I use is this:

    Cool. Thanks to you both.
    I vaguely recall doing a "chmod 700" on my previous machine. Those strict permissions survived the migration to this one it seems. "chmod 755" will be fine now. I wanted to know what the default was. Now I do Thank you!
    Here is a quote from the Wikipedia entry on Filesystem_permissions:
    <it>"The execute permission, which grants the ability to execute a file. This permission must be set for executable binaries (for example, a compiled c++ program) or shell scripts (for example, a Perl program) in order to allow the operating system to run them. When set for a directory, this permission grants the ability to traverse its tree in order to access files or subdirectories, but not see files inside the directory (unless read is set)."</it>

    Hi,
    Based on your code, I see your code related to
    iTextSharp Pdf.
    iText is a third party library to create PDF originally written for java. iTextSharp is
    the C# adaptation of that library.
    Question regarding iText are better asked on the iText forum, rather than the Microsoft Forum:
    http://itextpdf.com/support
    Thanks for your understanding.

  • Looking for a script that will find broken links

    I create long documents in InDesign, and I often have 50-75 Indesign documents in my InDesign book. Because what I do is production publishing, at any one time I'll have a half dozen similar books under construction. All the books contain the same chapters (as far as file name an basic content). I need a script that I can run on the final PDF for each project to make sure that all of my hyperlinks/cross references are intact. This is to ensure that I didn't accidentally link to a chapter from a different project. In other words, I need to make sure that my final PDF contains both the source and the destination.
    Does anyone know where I can find a script like this?
    Thanks,
    Kelly Vaughn

    A script can't do that. Maybe a plugin.

  • Resolve Broken Links with No Reference

    I have many broken links in a webhelp project that I cannot
    resolve because there is no reference. Is there a way to delete
    broken links?

    Hi, I have a similar problem and cannot seem to get rid of a
    bunch of broken links.
    Basically at some point this project file had an html
    subfolder that was taken out. Consequently many topics had
    html\<topicname>.htm and then became <topicname>.htm.
    My problem is now that these files with the html\ folder are
    under broken links and now don't reference or link to anything if I
    right-click on them. I cannot restore them, delete them, or edit
    them in any way.
    I find that it is also creating problems when the WebHelp is
    generated and put on our server, several topics give a "file not
    found" error because they are searching for html\ in the filename
    and of course cannot find it. I have fixed these by searching and
    getting rid of any reference to \html in the topic files, but a few
    still don't link properly. Even after creating a new table of
    contents and re-linking all topics and images it does the same, AND
    has these broken links still listed.
    Any ideas? I realize this may be several problems. I think
    someone in the past deleted the html folder outside of RoboHelp and
    it messed everything up. We are taking about a Help file with over
    700 topics, so it is a real beast to work with.
    Thanks,
    Joel
