How to remove a link from a pdf file

I am reading a pdf file using preview. I is a freely available research article. While marking words to look them up in the dictionary I noticed on two of the 40+ pages, the curser had changed from the "mark text"-symbol to the hand symbol as one would expect when hovering over a link. When I click on the pdf page safari opens up and lead me to the publishers website offering distantly related articles to the one I am reading at the moment. When I open the exact same pdf file in adobe acrobat 11, no such behaviour can be observed. Is there an explanation for that, more importantly can I switch the link of?
many thanks
Chris

Archana,
Can you wrap your code in <code> tags (use square brackets rather than angled ones), as the forum software is interpretting the HTML tags, in other words we can't see what you mean ;)
In any case, there are a few different options (guessing at what your problem is, without seeing the actual data), you could use htf.escape_sc or replace, regexp_replace etc to substitute the values before you output them to your PDF.
Hope this helps,
John.

  • How to remove html tags from the pdf file ?

    Hello,
    Using BI publisher we are generating a pdf file. In the table, we have data which contains html tags. for example " test1<br> 2.test2<br> 3.test3<br> ".
    In the pdf file we need to get the output like this
    test1
    test2
    test3
    But the output is as follows :"test1<br> 2.test<br> 3.test3<br> "
    Any idea, how these html tags can be removed from the pdf file and obtain the required result?
    Thanks in advance!!

    PDF security can only be implemented or removed using Adobe Acrobat.

  • I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button

    I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button to navigate back to my starting point the bookmarks are replaced by "page thumbnails". Is there anyway to stop this from happening?

    Hi Pusman,
    While setting up the links, if you choose to open the file in a new window then you won't face this issue, then you can simply switch to the previous file and bookmark view will remain as it is.
    Does that helps with your query?
    Regards,

    Yeah, I remember someone posted that solution a long time
    ago. It seems if you load a file with the same name the cache
    doesn't
    know any better and adjusts the download size to the smaller
    one. Maybe it's a good way to do it! Could it be a way to remove an
    mp3 from someone's cache after it plays? hmmmm Will have to
    do more testing.

  • How can I delete pages from a pdf file

    How can I delete pages from a pdf file

    Hi timk,
    None of the Acrobat.com online services allow you to edit a PDF file. But, in checking your account, I see that you purchased an Acrobat Standard subscription, and you can certainly use that to edit a PDF file.
    Have you downloaded and installed Acrobat Standard? It sounds to me as though you may be opening the PDF file in Adobe Reader, rather than Acrobat. (Reader doesn't allow you to edit PDF files.)
    If you haven't already, download and install Acrobat from https://cloud.acrobat.com/acrobat. Then, make sure that you're opening your PDF files in that rather than Reader, when you want to edit them.
    Please let us know how it goes!
    Best,
    Sara

  • E71: how to remove Nokia links from bookmarks?

    How do I remove the the Nokia links from bookmarks?
    I am unable to delete, or move, them to a folder.

    It easy to remove all those Nokia bookmarks links and folders. Just remove the bookmarks db file...
    Use Y-Tasks (process & threads) to kill "FavoritesSrv.exe"
    You need self sign Y-Tasks.
    Then go to... C:\Private\100012a5 and delete...
    DBS_101FD685_BrowserBookmarks.db
    That's for FP 1 & FP 2 devices for FP 3 devices you need to copy the DBS_101FD685_BrowserBookmarks.db that I included a download link to, copy that to the C:\Private\100012a5, overwriting the original file!
    Then restart your device...
    After you do that the only folders that you will have by default are...
    Web Feeds
    Auto.Bookmarks
    They are left because they are related to the browsers settings...
    FP3 replace db file

  • How do I create a link from a pdf file to post on my website and Facebook?

    I have created a pdf file from a document.  Now I want to post a link to the pdf document on my website and on Facebook.  In my Adobe Reader XI there is a tab that says "Create Link", but when I click onto it, it just takes me back to the original file, where it is saved on my computer,  I am not real techy.  If anyone can explain this step by strep, I would really appreciate it. 
    Thank you.

    Reader will not be involved.
    First, you need to upload the pdf to your website. Once you upload the file, you need to add a link to it from a page on your website and Facebook.

  • How Can I Remove Password Protection From my PDF File?

    Hello,
    I have a PDF file that is protected by a password. I tried almost all free online tools to unlock the password but they don't work. I know the password but online tools are showing the error: The uploaded file does not seem to be a valid PDF file.
    Please let me know if there is any online tool or any software that can remove the password so I can share the file with others
    Thanks
    Steven

    I know the password but online tools are showing the error: The uploaded file does not seem to be a valid PDF file.
    Perhaps the file is not a .pdf file after all.
    Anyway, .pdf files are generated by Adobe Acrobat, not by Windows. Checking the FAQs at the Adobe site is probably the best way to solve your problem. I would also run this test: Create my own .pdf file, apply a password, then remove the password.

  • How do i stop quicktime from loading pdf files

    Why is Quick time loading pdf file and how do I stop it .

    I have the same issue with Safari opening Web PDF links in Quicktime.  When I click on a PDF URL the Quicktime logo will display in Safari, then the first page of the PDF will come up, and only the first page will be available, there is no way to scroll to subsequent pages.  I have not found any settings in Safari, Quicktime, or Adobe Reader to turn that off.  How can I get Quicktime to not be the default imbedded reader for PDF in Safari.

  • How to remove empty tags from a config file

    Hi all,
    I have a task where we need to run a Java program to remove tags which do not contain ny information from the config files. The format of the file is as under:
    <roleManager>
         <providers>
              <add name="AspNetSqlRoleProvider" b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
              <add name="AspNetWindowsTokenRoleProvider" PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
         </providers>
    </roleManager>
    <httpModules>
    </httpModules>
    In the above lines <roleManager> is a tag which contains some data, while <httpModules> is an empty tag and does not conatin any data. The resultant should be:
    <roleManager>
         <providers>
              <add name="AspNetSqlRoleProvider" b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
              <add name="AspNetWindowsTokenRoleProvider" PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
         </providers>
    </roleManager>
    Please suggest how can we achieve this?
    Thanks in advance

    I ususally do that type of thing with a state machine... read a token, look for what is next, and if it's the closing token, I don't write it out. You have well defined opening token syntax and closing token syntax, so it should be relatively easy.

  • How can I take info from a PDF file on iPhone 5.

    Hi
    I get work related PDF files on my I phone 5
    But to take the telephone number off the viewing file island put it into the phone is very cumbersome especially when out all day.
    On my bb I could see the viewing file and text version which would allow me to call the number straight from there.
    Is there a way of doing this on the I one 5 please !Thanks

    Yes. It's such a pain to copy and paste the number in the PDF file and put into the phone. Bb would high light the number and call.
    Is there a way to view the file as text. When you get an SMS if someone sends a number it's highlighted. You tap it and you get option to call or cancel. Thats what i need from the PDF please
