How to open a URL address within a PDF document?

I'm using Adobe Reader X, v 10.1.3
When coming across a URL address, my curser turns into a "hand" when clicking it, but it won't take me to the website, even though I have an open browser (chrome) in the background. The Help Files have been of no help. Can anyone help me? I tried preferences, looking under the Internet option, but nothing seems to address this need.
Many thanks!

Hi there - I could click the URL in your note above and I wound up on the Adobe website. (When hitting the windows key and the letter R key together, if that's what you meant, nothing happened. When going via Start button, RUN, the http entry resulted in chrome openining a new Adobe window/tab as expected. I've not had any trouble getting any hyperliks to open, until I tried one in a PDF document using Adobe Reader X earlier today. I tired reinstalling Adobe X, updated from the 10.1.3 version, but the new version never seemed to install. However, going back to the original program, same PDF doc, when clicking on the hyperlink, lo and behold, this time, a window opened up asking me if I trusted the site, to which I checked off "yes", then clicked Allow, and it took me to the appropriate website. I haven't a clue why this failed to work before, and no window appeared like the one I just tried.
So thanks for your help, but it appears that it's fixed itself.
Best regards,
Susan

How do i extract pages from within a pdf document?

how do i extract pages from within a pdf document?

Hi adobespurs,
To extract pages from a PDF, you need to use Acrobat. If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it for free for 30 days. Please see www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.

How to open a popup win within a PDF file (c:\test.pdf) as Column Link

I have a interactive report based on a Table (EMP). I need to create a column link that opens a pdf file within the employee curricula
All the curriculum are stored in a windows folder, and in the EMP table there is a field named PATH containing the full path name.

Hello, Sebastian
I've tested your suggestion and in effect it works.
I think is good solution if the files are readonly (pdf, images, etc).
In my case the files are updatable by the end user.
Consider that I'm using the following configuration:
APEX 4.0, DB 11.2.0.1 and EPG
This means that:
a. All the files need to be loaded in the XML_DB via PL/SQL or via WebDAV (let's say in... /i/mydocs)
b. When the end user opens the file via the "Column link" this is read-only in the browser, to modify it, the end user need to save updated version in (/i/mydocs), replacing the existing ones, .. and this is a bit complicated .
Any other suggestion will be appreciate.
Regards,
Giuseppe.

HT2506 How can I insert a link within a PDF document with preview.app in Mavericks

Preview is not really a PDF editor. You can do basic stuff such as add annotations, insert pages, but you cannot add hyperlinks.

How do I get a link within a PDF to open a new tab in a web browser?

How do I get a link within a PDF to open a new tab in a web browser? Previous forums (for earlier versions of InDesign and Acrobat) mention something about JavaScript, but I'm using InDesign CC and Adobe Acrobat Pro CC
Thanks.

When you're looking at the PDF that's on your site, is it opened in the browser or directly i Acrobat/Reader? If in the borwser, do you know if it's being viewed in the browser's default PDF viewer or Acrobat/Reader? It probably won't work in non-Adobe PDF viewers.
Are you saying that when you click the link that two new browser tabs are opened with the same URL, instead of just one as you'd expect, or something else?

How to open a URL without session ID and reuse the current browser session?

Hi All,
I have a question about HTMLDB 2.0
How to open a URL without session ID and reuse the current browser session?
That was the behaviour in HTMLDB 1.6 ...
My usecase for this is the following:
We have written an issue tracking application, which sends e-mail to the interested users, when something happens.
In these email we've put a link to some page, with some parameters in the URL.
The idea is for the user to be easy to click on the hyperlink and to see the details of the ticket.
When the user clicks on such a link he is directed to a login screen (page 101) and he enters his Username and password, and is then forwarded to the details for the ticket.
Then he receives another email (e.g. for another ticked). He clicks on the link and :
a) in HTMLDB 1.6 he goes to the details as he didn't close his browser and session is remembered
b) in HTMLDB 2.0 he is prompted to enter username, password with the username populated
Please tell me how can I achieve the same behaviour in HTMLDB2.0 as it was in HTMLDB 1.6.
I understand this change is somehow security related, althogh I don't understand how. If you can explain this either I would be very happy?
Best regards,
Mihail Daskalov

How to open the Url type in Attachments Table

Hi All,
If we attached the any files, files are stored in the fnd_lobs table, pickup the data from the fnd lobs table and stored in the local system but if attached the url type how to open the url type.is there any standard ?
Thanks,
Venkat

You can do it one of two ways:
1. Insert some CSS that will change the target to "_new".
2. Change the field that the user enters information in to a single line of text, then create a calculated column that is:
=CONCATENATE("<a href=",[URL Field]." target=new>Click here</a>")
Format that as a number.

How to insert links in an Acrobat 8 pdf document to open folders

I am using Acrobat 8 and have made a "menu" page in InDesign which will has links in it to open other pdf documents. I have successfully exported to PDF from InDesign and inserted links to my PDF files which work perfectly. I now need to insert a link to direct the user to a particular folder so they can view the files/folders within that folder.
The complete set of documents will be burnt onto DVD and the "menu" pdf will open using an autorun file.
How can I insert a link in the PDF document that will open the folder that I want the reader to be able to view and navigate through themselves. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated as this is a major job for a client. I have seen a few ideas on the net but nothing that really answers my particular question.
Cheers - Claire

what should have been done, is place all the PDF in Folder including your contents page and Make all your links in Indesign. Then burn the folder to the DVD. That way all the links would be relative to location of the files.
Try a test that way. As was said Acrobat can't do it.

Is there a way to create an email button to multiple addresses within a PDF?

I have to regularly update a list of committee members and their email addresses which is then sent to all of the members.
Does anyone know if there a way of creating a button for each of the committees in the list which, when clicked, creates an email to all the members contained within that committee? I will need to add up to 14 email addresses to the one button. I need to know this because the various members in the committees are fed up of copying and pasting all the email addresses into their email messages.
I am now using Acrobat XI but I still can't figure out if this is even possible. If not a button, is there some other way of being able to launch an email to multiple addresses within a PDF?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Not really. But you can combine the data from multiple forms into a single (new) spreadsheet via Tools - Forms - More Form Options - Merge Data Files into Spreadsheet...

Using Acrobat XI Pro you could use the Edit Text & Images tool to perform minor touchups such as an address.

Hyperlink from within a Word Document to a specific page within a PDF document.

I was hoping that someone would be able to assist me. I would like to create a hyperlink (used as a citation) on my Word document that opens directly to a specified page within a PDF document (possible other word docs and so on, but less
often). How do I go about performing this? Another note, all the documents would reside within a SharePoint site.

I am not a Word guru, but I don't think you can run a macro from a hyperlink. But you can create an active X label that runs a macro when clicked. You can use the following macro to go to a specific page in a PDF file.
Sub OpenPDFPageView(DisplayPage As Integer)
'In order to use the macro you must enable the Acrobat library from VBA editor:
'Go to Tools -> References -> Adobe Acrobat xx.0 Type Library, where xx depends
'on your Acrobat Professional version (i.e. 9.0 or 10.0) you have installed to your PC.
Dim PDFApp As AcroApp
Dim PDFDoc As AcroAVDoc
Dim PDFPageView As AcroAvPageView
Dim PDFPath As String
Dim DisplayPage As Integer
PDFPath = "C:\Users\doudou\documents\test1.pdf"
'Set the page you want to be displayed
'DisplayPage = 3
'Initialize Acrobat by creating App object
Set PDFApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
'Set AVDoc object
Set PDFDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
'Open the PDF
If PDFDoc.Open(PDFPath, "") = True Then
PDFDoc.BringToFront
'Maximize the document
Call PDFDoc.Maximize(True)
Set PDFPageView = PDFDoc.GetAVPageView()
'Go to the desired page
'The first page is 0
Call PDFPageView.GoTo(DisplayPage - 1)
'Set the page view of the pdf
Call PDFPageView.ZoomTo(2, 50)
End If
Set PDFApp = Nothing
Set PDFDoc = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
'Show the adobe application
PDFApp.Show
'Set the focus to adobe acrobat pro
AppActivate "Adobe Acrobat Pro"

How do I copy a page from one pdf document to another?

That was easy.Thank you.
Re: How do I copy a page from one pdf document to another?

If you open both documents, you can drag a page from the Pages panel (on the left of the window) of one document and drop it into the Pages panel of another.
You can also extract one or more pages from a document to create a new document, and then insert the pages from this new document into another. In Acrobat 11 you 'd do this by doing:
Tools > Pages > Extract
and then:
Tools > Pages > Insert from File

How can I convert an email in a PDF document?

There is no "system solution" that turns an e-mail into a PDF file. In other words, it's not a functionality of the iOS. And there are some apps around that say they turn some documents into PDF files, but in every app that does that, I've never seen one that does so for the entire e-mail itself, but only for the "text" of the e-mail (which won't include the "to" and "from").
BUT, you can get part of the e-mail through a screen shot and you can get more of the e-mail by going "portrait" style and not "landscape". Then after getting the screen shot, you can turn that into a PDF file by those apps I was referring to up above,
