Hyperlink a word in one pdf to open another pdf on a mac?

Hi, I have been trying to find a program or app on my mac that will enable me to click on a word in one pdf file from my documents which would then open another pdf file in my documents. I can't seem to be able to do it on preview via the hyperlink or adobe reader, can anyone help? I assume this would be easy to do on Acrobat X Pro? Any alternative (cheaper/free!) options would be great.
Thank you!

With Adobe Acrobat you can add links.

You can insert hyper-links in PDFs in Preview by clicking on Tools > Annotate > Add Link. The key is to point the link at the local file. The link should start with "file://" followed by the complete path to the file you want to open (e.g.: /Users/Your_Account/Documents/whatsitsname.pdf). In other words, the complete link will be: "file:///Users/Your_Account/Documents/whatsitsname.pdf".

I've installed the Adobe Reader Plug In. Yet every time I click to see a PDF, it opens another browser and it is blank. The Browser reads about:blank. How can I fix this so that PDF's open in the browser?

Closing one GUI and opening another?

Hi guys,
(I didnt really know which forum to post this in, so apologies in advance if this is the wrong one).
I have created a login screen for a system, LoginScreen.java, which accepts a username and password and checks these on the server for validity. This all works fine.
Once an account is accepted as valid I would like for the login screen to close, and the actual main GUI, Client.java, to open.
Can anyone tell me the code for doing this? (closing one GUI and opening another).
Please ask if you need more information on my code.
Many thanks!

You can make the Client.java as your main program then just call the LoginScreen.java.
import javax.swing.*;
public class Client extends JFrame {
public static void main (String[] args) {
     Login log = new Login();
     log.show();
// Here you can put validation if the user is valid before displaying the main GUI
// If valid user
     Client clt = new Client();
clt.show();
// } else {
// System.exit(0);
public Client() {
     super("Client Java");
     setSize(400, 300);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
class Login extends JFrame {
public Login() {
     super("Login Java");
     setSize(200, 300);
}

How does one copy a PDF file into another PDF document?

I am trying to copy part of a PDF file into another PDF document. So far, the file will copy but will not paste into another PDF document. Any clues?

You can't convert Photoshop to editiable InDesign (though there is a plugin from RecoSoft that claims to make editable ID files from PDF: http://www.recosoft.com/products/pdf2id/).
About the best you can hope for is to leave pixel information in the Photoshop file (where it really belongs) and place that into an ID document, then set any type in ID.

Insert pdf file into another pdf file keeps getting stuck

I am trying to insert a 5 page pdf file into another pdf file (both unsecured) and it keeps getting stuck at about 71%* conplete. I can't even get the file to show up on the screen so i can close it. Help?

I have tried several different files, and get the same phenomenon with each one –
1.     I open an acrobat file.
2.     I open a WORD file.
3.     I copy a sentence from WORD to the clipboard.
4.     I click on View in Acrobat, Tools, Pages, other options, insert from clipboard.
5.     Acrobat shows that it is copying, and when it gets to 67% it stops and runs and runs and then only way I can stop it is to go to the task manager and end task.
I tried refrying with a file and that didn’t work, and I can’t imagine that Acrobat was designed so that each time I try to insert from WORD I would have to refry (even if it did work).
Please help!
Thank you

RoboHelp for Word 8.0 - can't open a pdf file from help topic

running RoboHelp for Word 8.0 on a Windows 7 machine. I produce WinHelp for one of our clients.
I just converted an old online help system from RoboHelp 7 to RoboHelp 8.
one of my topics has a button to launch a pdf file
{button Transport Feature Chart, EF(`GFC.pdf', `', 1, `')}
I can generate the hlp file, launch the help and open the topic but cannot open the pdf file when I click on the button.
any ideas?

I've just tried this in RH8 and have discovered that the EF macro only seems to work with certain file types. For example, .TXT and .LOG files do work whilst .PDF and .DOC don't. I'm beginning to wonder if there has been something that has changed between RH7 and RH8 along security lines? Just added my 2p as I haven't used WinHelp for over 10 years!

Hyperlinks in word containing spaces are cut off in pdf generation

We are using a mix of MS Word 2003, 2007 and 2010. All are experiencing the same problem when using Adobe products (Abobe Acrobat Pro 9, Adobe X, Adobe Elements) for the generation of a pdf document with respect to hyperlinks.
When we have hyperlinks containing "spaces" they will get cut off in the resulting pdf document.
Examples have formatting like this in Word
http://team.eu.enet/XXX/Master data forms/Master Data Project.xls
When we convert this in Adobe it cuts off the link after encountering the first space, like this
http://team.eu.enet/XXX/Master (on the face of it the whole line looks like the one above, but the hyperlink shown when hovering over it has been cut like shown)
In some cases the spaces are replaced with %20 (IE for example replaces spaces with these characters automatically). For those cases the conversion works just fine, and the whole line is maintained as a hyperlink also in the pdf
http://team.eu.enet/XXX/Master%20data%20forms/Master%20Data%20Project.xls (again, the line does not look like this in the pdf, but the link when hovering over it does)
When we use the Save as function in Word 2007/2010 this replacement is done automatically. the links in the "word generated pdf" are not containing spaces,
Is there any way to get this replacement done automatically when converting hyperlinks from Word to PDF? Repairing the links afterwards (which is possible, I know) is not a viable option when you have many such links in a word file.

Sort answer: Use proper syntax and do not use the "space" character in any URL.
"20" is hex for the space character (which is a "reserved" character in that it may have special meaning).
If used out of context being "reserved" applications have to make something of a guess.
Success is the %20. Sometimes success is not had.
So, again, proper syntax - no "space" character in a URL (use the underscore).

Cannot open another PDF from within a PDF RDR 9.1

Hi, all. When I or one of our users tries to open a PDF from a "Table of Contents" PDF , i.e.
Table of Contents for Job CD30A9
Guide
42ACC845.pdf
42ACC84D.pdf
42ACC84E.pdf
42ACC84C.pdf
The guide opens but not the other documents. The other documents open fine if clicked on individually. They are password protected (all but guide.pdf).
This is what I get with Process Monitor:
1:52:45.5500328 PM AcroRd32.exe 2372 RegOpenKey HKLM\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Installer SUCCESS Desired Access: Read
1:52:45.5500859 PM AcroRd32.exe 2372 RegQueryValue HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Installer\VersionMax SUCCESS Type: REG_DWORD, Length: 4, Data: 589825

1:52:45.5501694 PM AcroRd32.exe 2372 RegCloseKey HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Installer SUCCESS
Any ideas?

Can you insert the PDF file in the Word document in another format to make it clickable in the newly converted PDF?

Opening another pdf

Good morning everyone,
stumbled across a somewhat unexpected behaviour and would be glad if someone would help me out.
I do have 2 Acrobat forms: one, the "MasterForm" tries to access a second form "Examiner.pdf" during a PageOpen event. Examiner.pdf has user-rights enabled. When I run the following code on my machine, it works just fine. On another computer it opens "Examiner.pdf" but when trying to access the form-elements Acrobat complains, that myExamForm is not defined. My guess is some problem with disclosure (is it possible to disclose a pdf with extended rights attached?). Any ideas? Thanks a lot!
try{
    var myExamForm = app.openDoc({
        cPath: "Examiner.pdf",
        oDoc: this});
}catch(e) {console.println("Open failed");}
console.println(myExamForm);
Acrobat Standard X, Acrobat Pro X (Test), Acrobat Reader 10.0, Acrobat Reader 9.4

Yes -Examiner.pdf has a page-open script with
this.disclosed = true
The disclosed parameter is definitely set (checked through the scripting console), but I still get a
Type Error: myExamForm is undefined.
Maybe I need to implement the disclosed part in a document level script (which I haven't figured out, how to access in Acrobat X Std)?

Open another pdf from an existing pdf form

Hi Experts,
I have a complex 10 page interactive form with lots of user entered fields (100s of them) - on field validation I want to show another pdf having all the details of the invalid entries in the parent form. xfa.host.messageBox() does provide me with a popup, but the no of fields make it unsuitable for showing in a messageBox() instead I want it to be displayed in a separate pdf form which will open up once user clicks submit button on the form.
Also I would like to know if there is any way to link the second form to the first one so that when the user clicks on any entry of the validation error log in the second form he will be directed to the first form with the field having missing entry or wrongly populated being highlighted.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Rohit

Hi Rohit,
Visually you can change the look and feel of the support pages, so that the user knows the form from the support:
Here is a form with a help button. The help pages are normally hidden and the users only sees these pages when they explicitly ask for them. Hitting the button will make the help pages visible and move the focus to the first help page.
The help pages have a blue background (the colour is visible on the screen, but doesn't print off - save ink):

Script to open another pdf attach to email and close the new pdf

I have a pdf that contais a movie and there is a link to send another pdf with a small version of that film to email i tried this code but without any luck
var myDoc = app.openDoc({cPath:"XXXXXX/cpi-028.bx.pdf"});
myDoc.mailDoc(true);
myDoc.closeDoc(true);
the link is working but after the small pdf opens nothing else works
Somebody please help me

If the PDF isn't already downloaded in the email then you should be able to do so by tapping on it.
If the PDF is open within the body of the email then press and hold it and after a second or so you should get a 'Open In' pop-up; otherwise (e.g. the PDF opens into a separate screen) then tap the PDF and you should get an icon top right of a box with an arrow coming out of it - tap that and you'll get the 'Open In' option

PDF in browser won't open another PDF

I've built a Flash Projector file that opens a PDF on a CD (in the same folder as the Projector file) using getURL, so the PDF opens in a browser Window. That part works fine, however within the PDF that opens are links to other PDFs on the CD. When you click on the links you get a message asking do you want to Block, Allow or Cancel access to the second PDF. When I click Allow, nothing happens. There is no error message and certainly teh PDF does not open.
How do I get the secondary PDFs to open? If I open the initial PDF directly from the CD all the links work fine and open the PDFs without question, it is only when it is opened in a browser that I get asked the security question which does nothing in response.

Well, as I explained, I'm launching a Flash Projector file with a button that opens the PDF. I'd always understood that the only way to launch a PDF from Projector on a CD was to use getURL, which launches a browser. If there's some other way I'd love to know.
I too get the security question of Block, Allow or Cancel but nothing happens when I click allow. No error message and certainly no PDF popping up. The links are correct because when I open the PDF directly it works, it's only when the PDF is open in a browser that it doesn't. I can open other PDFs in a browser with fully pathed URLs to PDFs on web sites and they work, it's only linking to a relatively pathed file on the CD that doesn't.
