How to validate all hyperlinks, including links in pdf files?

Dreamweaver's link checker only checks links in html files. Is there's a Dreamweaver plug in I could use to check links (all kinds of links) in pdf files on my site? I haven't been able to find one and would appreciate suggestions. Thanks.

Not a DW extension but look at Xenu's Link Sleuth.

How to remove all hyperlinks at once?

Hi guys,
I want to know how to remove all hyperlinks in a text at once. I know how to remove one link at a time. But it's time consuming if you paste a text with a lot of hyperlinks.
Thanks,
Adriano.

Duplicate your document for safe then drag and drop the icon of the copy of the icon of this script saved as an application.
--[SCRIPT remove links]{code}
Enregistrer le script en tant qu'Application ou Progiciel : remove links.app
Déposez le sur le bureau par exemple.
Glisser-déposer l'icône d'un document Pages sur celle du script
va éliminer tous les Hyperliens et signets prédsents dans le document.
On peut également qlisser déposer un fichier index.xml.
+++++++
Save the script as an Application or an Application Bundle: remove links.app
Store it on the desktop for instance.
Drag and drop the icon of a Pages document on the script's icon
to remove the Hyperlinks and Bookmarks embedded in the document.
We may also drag & drop an index.xml file.

How to create link for pdf file in discoverer worksheet

Hi All,
I would like to create a link for pdf file into discoverer report (worksheet).
So that i can open linked pdf file using worksheet link.
Can any one tell me about this?
Thanks
Ravi

Hi,
I think the best way to do this is to use a database directory so that you can access your pdf file as a bfile. Then create a mod_plsql procedure that sets the mime type and downloads the pdf file. You then create a calculation in the EUL then returns the URL to your mod_plsql procedure. You can then include this calculation as a hyperlink in your worksheet.
It is not as difficult as it sounds. Please let me know if you need anymore details.

Size limit for how much video can be included in an AIR file?

I'm making an AIR app to play a video locally. It is on a PC with no internet connection, so the video (fv4) is included with the air install file. Is there a size limit for how much video can be included in an AIR file? I seem to get the "...file is damaged..." error when I include a video over 200mb. I use Flash CS4 to create and AIR is v 1.53.

I'm authoring in CS4 on a MAC with the latest OS and 4GB ram. It plays fine on the Mac. On a WIN7 PC with all updates and 4GB ram I get the errors if the air file that contains a video file over 200mb. I heard that AIR 2 should solve the issue and that it is just a PC issue.. Maybe... I have not tried using ADT to package the file.

No. It is a feature of Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat.

I've recently noticed that since the last upgrade any links to pdf files on websited no longer work. All I get is a blank white page or a blank black page when I click on these links. Can I fix this?

I need help how to create menu function for link to access file and allow user to save the file when click on it.
The file will keep inside server.AFAIK, you have to write a custom code to achieve this and Oracle does not provide this functionality.

How to embed the needed fonts in a pdf file

Dear Sir/Mam,
We had purchased licenced version of adobe acrobat x pro
We are facing issues while embedding the font in the pdf file
Please find the below mentioned requirement
Requirement:
We have a pdf file (template) with some static images and static text in it
We need to populate dynamic data in the pdf file for this we may use text boxes
We need to set the font name for the text box and embed that font in the pdf template (Eg:Font to be used in textboxes is "RotisSansSerif-Bold")
Queries
Please let us know how to embed the needed fonts in the pdf file?
Once user exports the pdf file, even if user doesnot have the fonts installed in his system the text need to be displayed in the same fonts,how to acheive this?Eg:if we define "RotisSansSerif-Bold" as font in the textboxes,after exporting the data the text need to be in the same font.
Note:
Fonts will only installed in the application server and not in the client system
The mentioned requirement need to work on below mentioned specifications
OS:Windiows-XP, Browser:IE
OS:Mac osx, Browser:Safari
Regards,
S.N.Prasad

There is a similar post just a few away from yours. I will suggest what I would try. Open your job settings file (press or print preferred to get all fonts) and then select the properties and the font tab. At your font to the always embed list and you will likely need to uncheck the subset box. Then save your job settings (give it a name that is meaningful to you, you can not use the settings file you started with as they are read only and I do not recommend changing that). Maybe that will do the job. Of course that is for the creation of the PDF, I forgot you were talking about a form. You might check the form field properties, but I suspect you have already tried that. Guess I don't play with forms enough. Others may be by to answer.

HT1040 I have an iphoto book saved as a PDF file, how do I order the book from the PDF file?

AGGHHHH! I have just finished hours of work, making an album on iphoto. I finally finished placing about the 300th photo, all cropped, edited, etc etc. I wanted to check that all the photos were in, so I hit the "clear placed photos" button, thinking it would just leave me with any I'd missed, & instead it wiped my whole album!! Is there any way I can restore it? If not I did save it as a pdf file. How to I purchase the book using the pdf file?

The way is to restore it is to restore your backup from before this happened - that is why you must have backups
As to purchasing form a PDF - not from Apple - check for web wervices who claim to be able to - google brings up sites like PrestoPrint - not recommended - not tested - simply found

How can I copy part of a larger PDF file and create a smaller one?

How can I copy part of a larger PDF file and create a smaller one?

Hi,
Copy the content of PDF file in Adobe Reader and paset it to MS Word then create PDF file from the Word file.
This may not work for all PDF files as some PDF files are not created correctly or some content cannot be copied.
Acrobat XI Pro has features to extract/delete/crop pages in PDF files and you can download it from www.adobe.com(Trial version- 30 days free). Or you can upgrade your subscription to Acrobat Plus and see more information at https://www.acrobat.com/acrobatplus/en/home.html

Links to pdf files created in DW not working

Linking a pdf file to an html page where the expectation is that clicking on the link will display the pdf file in the browser is common. A page that I created would not display my linked pdf files. Google searches suggest this is a common problem with perhaps a variety of causes.
I found that the solution to my problem was to remove my "mark of the web" statement. When this  appeared on my web page, pdf links would not open in my browser; when I removed the "mark of the web," all worked fine.

Personally I always download pdfs for offline reading.
I do, too.
As a courtesy, I always tell site visitors what they are clicking on and the file size. If you want to force a download, you can zip the PDF file ahead of time, and post a link to the zip file.

Expand/Collapse all the Bookmarks in a PDF file

Hi,
This is my first message on the board :-)
I work with very large PDF files (i.e 2000 pages, 700 bookmarks on 5 or 6 levels!) and I'm looking for a script (Acrobat 9 Pro) allowing to expand/collapse all the bookmarks in a PDF file.
Thanks in advance for your valuable help,
Cheers
Antonella

The Acrobat Javascript Scripting reference (http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/sdk/AcroJS.pdf) describes how to use scripting to access bookmarks and how to open and close them, which is what you're looking for.
I suggest you read the reference and make a function that will do the job for you.
That's the way I would do it.
I don't think you can access the keyboard shortcuts "/" and "Shift + *" via scripting.
