How to place an indesign page with hyperlinks in another indesign file, such that the links work?

I have a page of text with hyperlinks in a master indesign file.
I place that file into another indesign file.
(It is like an html include file for a webpage.In this way i only have to update the file in one place.)
But when i export the indesign file to pdf, the hyperlinks fail to work.
They work in the original but not in the second.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

My apologies. My tests were done using URLs. They function in Acrobat regardless of their state in InDesign.
Aside to Bob: Since I had just made a PDF that worked, I mistook your "Since when" to mean since when won't a placed ID file work? I guess I was blind sided by the fact that the only hyperlinks I ever come into contact with are full URLs.
If Abbey's situation is as I envisioned -- that the placed files are more akin to smaller graphics within the layout of a page rather than discreet pages at all -- then is this not a insolvable problem given how InDesign works now?

  • How can users who have Acrobat Reader only save scanned pdf files so that the text on them is searchable using ctrl-F?  I just use the recognize text with ocr feature in the full version of Acrobat and this seem to do the trick. Reader doesn't work!

    Our users have scanned pdf files they want to be able to search using ctrl-f.  I got them to be searchable by doing a recognize text using ocr with Acrobat Professional vesion 8.  They want to know if they can make the files searchable with Acrobat Reader only or if they need the full Acrobat Professional software to make the files searchable.
    Thanks for the help!!

    To clarify a bit they need to have Adobe Acrobat, not Adobe Reader. Reader has not been associated with the Acrobat name for 3 or more versions. The process you are asking about is a creation process - the purpose of Acrobat - and NOT a reading feature.

  • Pages: create pdf documents with hyperlinks to web pdf files

    Hi everybody,
    I've created a pdf file with Pages, it contains a number of hyperlinks some of them work and the others don't.
    The ones that works are linked to an html page, and those non working are linked to pdf documents on the net (still beginning with http:// but ending with .pdf).
    I don't know ho to solve this because Pages automatically create hyperlinks and the only options available are email, pages document, web page and bookmarks.
    Any suggestion?
    Thx

    Hi Jeff and thanks for the reply,
    the links work perfectly in the pages document but one I've exported it in pdf some of them don't work anymore.
    I don't see any difference in the url structure of the pdf links, they are copied ant pasted from the url box of the browser.
    Here's one of the link that don't work
    http://www.enpap.it/documenti/elezioni1317/NOTAI_COLLEGIO3_SUD_E_ISOLE.pdf
    Could the problem has something to do with the underscores or capital letters? It would seem strange but I don't know what's going on.

  • How to upload a HTML page with Flash image viewer?

    I´ve got a html page with a flash image viewer file inn it. Preview in a browser is ok, but I don´t get it right on the server. Is it something spesial with the swf file?
    This is what i have done: I just upload html -page, viewer swf file and the pictures to the same folder. Is this wrong?
    Sorry, I really don´t have a clue... Thanks!

    Sorry to say, but that is not a webpage -
    There is no doctype, no head section, no body section .
    etc. etc.
    Nothing would work in that document.
    Please generate a properly formed HTML page, and place the scripts and script calls in the proper section and the rest in the body, and let's see what you get

    Sometimes you need to look at it from the perspective of a recepient. Save the message before sending and close it. It will be in your Drafts Folder. Click once on it in the Drafts list so you can view is as the recepient would. (Don't open for edit) The links should be active.

    How can I stick an accordion navigation MENU on top of a mobile scrolling page and make it work properly?
    As I can't pin it, I keep it on top of the page with scroll effect 0.
    It collapse, shows the menu buttons but doesn't close back once it reaches the anchorpoint.

    Muse won't let you, at least not that I know of. You could find the class in the code that muse gives it position: fixed…I think. You could paste it into the head area of your page properties to override the class. I believe something like this would give you persistent nav bar, pinned at the very top, on mobile:
    #youmuseclass {position: fixed;}
    I wouldn't use any parallax on mobile either, the performance is terrible.

  • How to avoid starting a page with line breaks?

    Hello. I've just started to refine my Master's thesis and some of the topics moved up and down as I edited their contents. The problem is that in some cases the topic breaks right after the title, and the rest of the contents just move away to another page. Is there any way to avoid starting a page with line breaks or broken topics?

    At the end of your title, you didn't inserted a line break but a paragraph break (carriage return).
    Acivate the mode "Show hidden characters"
    Select the carriage return (paragraph break)
    Delete it
    Press Shift + return to insert a true line break.
    It may be useful to apply that several times if you inserted several carriage returns between the title and the first filled line.

  • How can i connect my iPhone with my pc !! still my swipe is not working still my pc ask for accept device on iPhone

    how can i connect my iPhone with my pc !! still my swipe is not working but my pc ask to accept device on iPhone!!!!

    Now all my new apps as well as several others are gone from the iPhone.
    Look on other screens. The 4.1 update ands Game Center to the home screen. If that screen was full it create a blank screen and moves one app from the home screen to the new screen to make room for Game Center. All the other screens are pushed back one place.
    How can I get my apps back? It cost me a lot of time and money to discover those apps and get them onto the phone. Are they just gone now?
    If they are really gone, you can download them again. You will not be charged again if you use the same iTunes account.
