Hyper links in pdf documents not working on iphone.
Hello,
When I view a pdf document with links, the links are not working.
Are links not supposed to work on the iphone from pdf documents or I am missing something?
Thank you in advance ... I have an iphone 4 running v4.1.
Carlos
Also having this problem: can't use links embedded in the PDF.
Is there a solution to this?
Thanks.

Internal Links in HTML Document Not Working Correctly in PDF
I have an HTML document that contains internal links (basically a Table of Contents). When the document is displayed in a browser, the internal links work correctly. However, when I use Acrobat 8 Professional to create a PDF version from the HTML source, the links don't go to the correct place when clicked. It almost appears that they are off by one, e.g., link 7 goes to anchor 8. I can send the source document for you to look at if you email me at eharris -at- synnovation.com. I am not expert in HTML and perhaps the links/anchors are not done correctly when I create the HTML document. Does anyone have any ideas on this?
This one has the same problem. For instance, "Anchor1" as <a name="Anchor1"> appears 13 times. I am sure that your problem is that Acrobat is going to the last occurance that is just before the first one. As I scan through the file I find similar results for all of the anchors. When I used Tidy, it reduces about 1350 errors to about 474, but that is still not too good. The validator is flagging a lot of identical IDs as well as unrecognized attributes (like ONSELECTSTART). The attributes correctly accepted by body are
Attribute Specifications
* BACKGROUND=URI (background image for document)
* BGCOLOR=Color (background color for document)
* TEXT=Color (text color for document)
* LINK=Color (link color for document)
* VLINK=Color (visited link color for document)
* ALINK=Color (active link color for document)
* ONLOAD=Script (document has been loaded)
* ONUNLOAD=Script (document has been exited)
as listed on htmlhelp.com for HTML 4. There may be some new ones in HTML 5, but I did not check.
I am not looking at all of your HTML in detail, but there appears to be a lot of unneeded things based on the error messages from the validator. Many browsers will let you display the stuff (even Acrobat), but there may be errors that crop in when you do not expect it or on some other browsers that the one you check. Thus again, you should use a validator. If you are only off a few tags that might be fine, but when it is in the 1000s, there is an issue. It would also be good to break your page up into parts. It is good practice on web pages for each page to be not much more than one screen. That is often exceeded, but 59 screens of info (on my screen) is a bit much. The TOC is definitely needed in that case, but just was well go to a sub page just as well and make the info easier to track. A PDF (as you are trying to get) could be made of the entire system for those that want it all in one bit. Bill -
Hyperlinks within .pdf documents not working IMac Safari
I am working with a website that displays several .pdf documents. The documents contain hyperlinks to urls. Everything works fine in other browsers, but in Safari, these hyperlinks do not work. The cursor does not change when it enters the hyperlink space, and nothing happens if the link is clicked. I am using an IMac running OS 10.6. 8 and Safari 5.1.10. I have tried both the native (Preview) option and a plug-in. Neither makes any difference. Can anyone suggest a fix other than abandoning Safari?
I am a new user to OnLINE Adobe. My hyperlinks from Word
documents do not transfer to the PDF files. Please help!!! -
Links in pdf file not working properly (in Acrobat Reader)
Hello everybody
I'm converting a book I wrote from mobi to pdf with Calibre. While formatting the document, I used some html, including a few links between different parts of the same document.
However, when I test the pdf document in Acrobat and I click on links, they always send me about a page before of what I marked with the a name attribute... This doesn't happen when I try the book on the calibre pdf reader...
I've been looking around but can't find why. I've checked my book on mobi, and everything is OK there. This only seems to happen on the document itself on with the way Acrobat reads it.
Any ideas or explanations?
Thanks!You might want to check with Calibre about the issue. If you had Acrobat you could reset the bookmarks. Since Adobe created the initial PDF document standard, I have seen this in PS files where bookmarks were placed on a page before any content was placed on the page. The bookmark was in the limbo area were a page might not exist if no content were added to the page.

Initial View set in PDF Document not working.
I have a PDF document w/Initial View in the Document Properties set to Navigation tab: 'Bookmarks panel and Page', and Open to page '1''. However, when I send this document out, the Initial View settings do not happen (The PDF opens to the page last accessed before the document was sent and the navigation pane does not display). Help - what am I missing or doing wrong when trying to distribute PDF?
I am using Acrobat X Pro.It might be the settings in Acrobat that is causing the problem. Edit – Preferences…, under Categories select Documents. Uncheck Restore last view settings when reopening documents.

Photos in pdf documents not showing on iPhone or iPad
I notice that when I create a PDF document on my iMac that includes photos and some grpahics work, when I go to view the document on my iPhone 4, iPhone 3 or iPad that about 80% of the photos do not show even though they look fine on the iMac... Why is this?
Currently both are active. I don't want to have all of my photos on the icloud. So should I only be using "icloud photo sharing"?
I created an album on my iphone and this album shows up on my ipad and macbook pro. However, I created another album on my macbook and this new album doesn't show up on either my iphone or ipad.
These albums are not shared albums...they are only albums for me. Isn't "icloud photo sharing" different from the albums I speaking about? My understandind is "icloud photo sharing" is for sharing my albums with friends and family.
Thanks for your help -
HTML Links to PDF Destinations not Working
I've named three destinations in a PDF file using Acrobat X. When I have the Destinations tab open with the local file they all resolve to the right location. However when I use HTML links to go directly to these destinations (using file.pdf#nameddest=destination-name format) they resolve to the top of the following page.
Any reccomendations on how to fix this?
Thank you for all your help.
my test files are located at www.kathrynswebpage.net/booklist.phpHi, I know the answer to the second question:
- use Inspector
- go to "link inspector"
- choose "format"
--> from here you can choose how your links appear -
Linking a PDF document to URL in Smart forms
Hi All,
Please anyone let me know how i can link a PDF document to a link in the smart form output.
I'm outputting Purchase order details on a smartform and I'm supposed to give an URL link for the user to click on it for Terms and Conditions.
Please note that I'm not using interactive forms in web dynpros nor developing with BSP.
I simply developed a smart form in SRM system and I'm able to display an URL but don't know how to link a PDF to that link.
Please some one let me know your ideas how i can attach a PDF to an URL in smart form.
Thanks in Advance,
SowjanyaHi,
Follow the below blog and it is very useful achiving your requirement.
in the blog:
in the below point,
Code to send the email
Following code will transform the html content into displayable format and send email to all the recipients. Note: This form also handles the images (static) defined in the smartform, as well as the images defined with html IMG tag (eg: URL link to image on the network).
you have to convert your pDF output into displayable format. then add that link to your smartform.
Thanks,
Sree.

PDF hyperlinks not working on app
I have pasted a PDF (with working links) on a folio page (folios done in PDF format). The page is uploaded but all links on the original PDF are not working once I view it on the app.
So I'm guessing folios with pasted PDFs on them don't transfer hyperlink properties to the final app? Even thought I've made the folio in PDF format? Does this mean I have to use boxes to create hotspots over the pasted PDF? Is there a way to transfer these properties from the original PDF and skip the hotspot step?
Thanks.You're right -- the placed PDF loses all its interactivity even when it becomes part of a PDF article. You'll need to add buttons over the PDF as you describe. Also, keep in mind that the Show/Hide Buttons action isn't supported in DPS, so you'll need to use a combination of buttons and MSOs to create hotspots, as described in this article:

Using 10.6.8, internet pdf documents not opening using Adobe Reader; how is this corrected? I've tried changing "sharing and permissions" to "read and write" as suggested on other help sites, but this did not correct the problem.
I had the same problem---contacted Adobe and their service rep helped me by
A. Deleting Adobe Reader from my iMac's Applications in Finder
B. Downloading Google Chrome browser and then
C. Downloading the latest Adobe Reader for Mac 10.6.8 in Google Chrome--it works
Adobe acknowledges problem with the latest Snow Leopard update 10.6.8 and with this work around, I can open PDF's using the Google Chrome Browser.
Is this the ideal solution---NO. Safari is my main browser. I now have to use a separate browser for PDF's.
Am I happy to be able to open PDF's---YES
You can't believe the time I spent to solve this problem before calling Adobe for help. My Apple Care policy expired a month ago . As I use Photoshop Elements, I was not charged by Adobe for their help on the telephone. -

Anchor links to accordion panels not working properly across browsers
Hi everyone,
I need some help to figure out why my anchor links to specific accordion panels on another page are not working properly across browsers.
I have a Map page which has tooltips on mouseover on the site markers. 15 of the tooltips have "Click here for information" anchor links (although only 14 are currently linked) which, in theory, would take you to the Nurseries page where the specified accordion panel would be opened with the nursery entry appearing at the top of the new browser window.
Here are the links to the Map page and Nurseries page, respectively:
www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/map_v6.html
www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html
I've tested the anchor links on IE, Firefox, Google Chrome, and Safari, and have received varying results. In most cases, the anchor links worked perfectly on two of the browsers, while on the other browsers, the correct accordion panel is opened but the nursery entry does not appear at the top of the new browser window. Anchor links using Safari and Google Chrome fared better (10 out of 14 links worked properly, and 8/14, respectively), whereas when using Firefox and IE, only 3 anchor links worked properly. The target audience for this website will be using IE and Firefox, so I would appreciate any help to figure out how to tweak the code so that the most, if not all, anchor links work properly on these two browsers in particular.
Here's an anchor link which worked perfectly in IE, GC, and Safari, but in FF, the entry did not appear at the top of the new browser window.
www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?luzon=9#mangatarem
http://www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?luzon=9#mangatarem [To access the anchor link on the Map page, mouseover the third green dot from the top of the map (Tooltip--Location: Mangatarem) and then click on "Click here for information."]
Here's a sample anchor link in which the entry did not appear at the top of the new browser window in any of the 4 browsers:
www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?mindanao=4#magpetAmabel
http://http://www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?mindanao=4#magpetAmabel [To access the anchor link on the Map page, go to "Mindanao" at the bottom of the map and mouseover the fourth green dot below the word "Mindanao" (Tooltip--LOCATION: Brgys. Amabel, Bongolanon, Imamaling, & Manobisa; Magpet; North Cotabato) and then click on "Click here for information."]
Here's a sample anchor link in which the anchor link worked properly in GC and Safari, but the entry didn't appear at the top of the browser window in IE and FF:
www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?visayas=1#bilar
http://http://www.alegriadesignstudio.com/RFRI/nurseries_v6.html?visayas=1#bilar [To access the anchor link on the Map page, go to the small island north and a bit west of "Mindanao" which is called "Bohol" and mouseover the fourth green dot below the word "Mindanao" (Tooltip--LOCATION: Bilar; Bohol) and then click on the first "Click here for information."]
Many thanks in advance for your assistance!

I'm still trying to figure out how to resolve the problem of anchor links to accordion panels not working properly across browsers (see original post for details). I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on how to resolve the problem.

Links and photo gallery not working!
Hi,
I've just created a website by iWeb. After publishing the site in the local folder I've uploaded the entire contents to the server by FTP. From local folder it works fine but while trying to view online, the links between the pages not working (even not visible) at the same time my photo gallery is also not working (not visible). I was using Safari in mac.The same problem occurs while I am trying to browse the site from in my pc (copied the file in a local folder) and using Google Chrome and Internet Explorer
If anyone can tell me what is the possible error?
Thanks,
TariqueFrom viewing your site it's apparent that not all of the files are being uploaded to the server. Particularly those in the Scripts folder.
Have you opened your locally published site with your browser and checked it out? I think you'll find that the navbar will display correctly on both pages and the rest of the site will properly.
What ftp client are you using to upload the files? If you haven't tried the free Cyberduck client give it a try. Many users have found it to be successful where other clients were having problems. -
Password protected PDF document not opened with E7...
Dear all,
Password protected PDF document not opened with nokia E7-00. Previously I used nokia N79, that time I was able to open Password protected PDF file such as bank email statement etc. Now I can't.
It is quite disappointing with this phone !hi mateys,
you may want to search under "PDF" in the Nokia Store, as some solutions such as Picsel Smart Office exist, where they do open password-protected PDF's.
