You can use the link tool.
Draw a box around the link, under "link action" choose "open a web page" for the URL address use maitlo: [email protected]

Hyperlinks in Acrobat try to open files on computer as web documents

I have been sent a large number of pdf files that were converted from Word. They have hyperlinks in them that should open other files on my computer, however, Acrobat 9 on my computer shows them as weblinks (with the W on the cursor when hovered over the hyperlink) and tries to open them with a web browser. The file address in the hyperlink is correct, as if I copy and paste it into a Word document the link opens the file on my computer. An example of one of the links is:
file:///C|/Users/Rob/Documents/Business/AGA/AGA%20-%20for%20Client/AGA%20Support%20-%20Dig ital/008%20HSE%20Performance.xls
Can anyone help with a way of converting these links in Acrobat so they work properly? If not, can you suggest how they may have incorrectly turned from Work hyperlinks into Acrobat weblinks, so I can ask the person who sent them to me to convert them again without the problem recurring.
Many thanks in advance.
Rob

"file://", like "http://" or "mailto://" is a URI/URL scheme. For a discussion of "schemes" visit W3C and associated RFCs.
As such, Adobe Reader/Acrobat knows to inform the OS which knows to hand off execution of the URL to the installed browser.
n.b., the link in PDF meerly reflects what was put in the authoring file by the content author - no "transformers" action by Acrobat.
To fix - create a link that is not a URL; establish a UNC link or relative file link:
--| manually edit the PDF link(s) with Acrobat
--| revisit the orignal authoring file and correct the used link in Word's hypertext dialog.
Be well...

How can we remove a specific hyperlink using Acrobat X Pro ?

How can we remove a specific hyperlink using Acrobat X Pro ?

If the link is a real annotation in the file, just switch to the link tool in Acrobat, select it and press Delete.
The Acrobat Family will, by default, scan all the text in a PDF file and temporarily make any URL or email address into a hotlink. You cannot stop that from happening as it's a preference on the client side; the only solution would be to break the pattern by adding a hairline space next to the colon or the @ symbol.

Dynamic Hyperlinks in Acrobat Form

Hi
I am creating a suite of forms in Acrobat, in which I will need a number of hyperlinks. I can see how to set up a standard hyperlink using the normal form edit functionality, but what I am looking for is a little away from the norm and will need some scripting, which is something I know very little about.
Can anybody help me in how to script a button in Acrobat to hyperlink to a static address with a dynamic ending?
Basically, what I am trying to acieve is a button that will link to Google Maps and show the property that is detailed in the form (so there will be the static element of www.google.co.uk/maps/, but I need the post code that has been entered in the address details to be pasted onto the end of that address so the button will take the user straight from the from to the correct location on Google Maps).
Can anybody help me with this?

You can use something like this (let's say the Postcode field is called just that):
var postcode = this.getField("Postcode").valueAsString;
app.launchURL("http://www.google.co.uk/maps/"+postcode);

How to create hyperlinks in Acrobat 9 Pro?

Hi everyone,
Is there a way to create hyperlinks from within Acrobat 9 Pro? If so, can you let me know how? I am having a hard time finding out how to do so.
Thank you in advance for your help:)
Christine

I did this from the advanced menu to make all hyperlinks work. All I got were boxes around my links that are not clikcable to the web page.
Now I cannot undo this.

How do I search a document for hyperlinks in Acrobat Pro XI?

Running Windows 7 Enterprise -- It seems neither the advanced nor simple search option includes a check box for hyperlinks in a search. What am I missing?

That method has worked for me before with external URL's; however, I am attempting to enumerate links to sections, figures and tables within a large document. Another way to do it (for this particular document, as it happens) is by adding tags via the Accessibility tool, but this process is tedious and the accessibility problems Acrobat found are mostly spurious, found just by luck.
All I want is a wildcard regular expression search and a check box to include all links in my search, like how the search function worked in previous versions of Acrobat.

Skype hyperlinking in Acrobat Pro XI

Hello!
I try to hyperlinking a "Skype call" in a PDF file with Acrobat Pro! I read numerous sites about that...
I do not want to any skype button just a hyperlink to my phone number. So after somebody click on it Skype will launch and begin calling my phone number!
It works fine with MS Word, but in Acrobat I can not figure out what the problem is!
I tried Javascripts, hyperlinks, and did not find any solution!
Thank you

I developed a script that converts phone numbers in a PDF to Skype-links, so I have a bit of experience with how to do it. Basically you need to launch a URL using the "skype" protocol. With JS it will look something like this:
app.launchURL("skype:324234234?call");
Clicking a button that has this code associated with it will launch the browser, and then launch Skype and open the Dial dialog with the specified number.

Hyperlinks in Acrobat 9

Ich habe eine Menge pdf-Files welche miteinander verschachtelt sind. (Hyperlinks von einem Pdf zum nächsten) Diese Files sind in einer Datenbank binär gespeichert. Jetzt hat sich leider an den Pfaden etwas geändert und daher werden die Pfade der Links zur Laufzeit in meinem Programm geändert.
Diese Verlinkung ist mit Acrobat 7 überhaupt kein Problem. Beim Acrobat 9 kann ich keine Links auf Seiten ausführen die manipuliert wurden. (Link ausgetauscht) Ich nehme mal an das Acrobat 9 eine spezielle Prüfung vornimmt bevor er einen Link ausführt und das er mit dem PDF das aufgerufen werden soll nicht einverstanden ist. Alle Files lassen sich doch extra aufmachen und werden einwandfrei angezeigt.
Über jede Hilfe wäre ich sehr dankbar.

Danke für die Antwort. Ich habe mein Problem gelöst. Der Pfad der Links wurden einfach ausgetauscht, dadurch hat sich die Länge geändert. Damit kommt der Acrobat 9 nicht klar. Ich füge jetzt einfach Leerzeichen hinter dem Pfad an und habe so die gleiche Länge wie zuvor.

Create a file in illustrator - then create hyperlinks in Acrobat Pro - if need to re-edit in illustrator loose hyperlinks

Hi, i have created a very detailed map in illustrator CS4 (PDF file). Then i wanted to add hyperlinks, so i opened the pdf file in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to put the links on. everything worked perfectly. Then i had to change something on my map - so i opened the PDF file in Illustrator and all the hyperlinks are gone. HELP. what am i doing wrong? how do i keep the links. (it is not the sort of edit that i could do in adobe acrobat pro - it is a design and move things around type edit)
thank you.

You would be best off replacing pdf pages in your existing linked pdf.
Edit your original Illustrator file and creating a pdf of that. Replace (don't delete!) pages in your existing linked pdf with your updated pdf. The links will remain and you'll have the updated image you need. It is also a better work flow to maintain your Illustrator file.

Using hyperlinks in Acrobat 7

Hi -
I have created a Word document with hyperlinks within the document. I have then created a .pdf from the document. Is there anyway I can modify the existing links to open in a new window from the .pdf?
Thanks!
Jessica

Open the document in Acrobat and select the link tool. Then select the link and right click to edit the properties. You should be able to find your options there.

Using hyperlinks in Acrobat Reader iPad, iPhonr

I have created an 'eBook' on maritime safety, using current Word for Mac. There are several hyperlinks in it, which I have checked. When I output as PDF file, so it can be read using Adobe Reader (which works quite well with my text and graphics) none of the hyperlinks work. Am I missing something or does Reader on iPad/iPhone not recognize hyperlinks?
The Adobe Reader on my iMac recognises the hyperlinks perfectly.
Thanking in advance.

The problem is that Word for the Mac does NOT correctly write a link into the PDF file. But then why does it appear to work in Reader for the Mac or Acrobat for the Mac? Because those applications have a preference which temporarily creates a URL hyperlink. If you look at Preferences > General, you'll probably find that Create Links from URLs is checked. If you uncheck it, your links will not work.
If you look for links in Acrobat, you'll find there are no links. You can look for them with the Create or Edit Link tool.
Reader for iOS has no such preference. The problem is in the way Word for the Mac creates the PDF file. (It's not only hyperlinks. It's also not possible to generate bookmarks form Word for the Mac either. It's always been this way.)
You'll have to use Acrobat or another tool to correctly add hyperlinks.

Hyperlinks in Acrobat?

How so I insert a hyperlink into my PDF map which will carry reader to a website with descriptive text?

You can use the "Link Tool" which is one of the "Advance Editing Tools". This part of Acrobat Standard or above and not available to Reader.

Stamp loses hyperlink in Acrobat 9 Pro

At my former job, I had Acrobat professional (V8??) and used stamps quite a lot to add to an already finished document. This stamp had my email adress linked to my email adress and my www.adress linked to my url. I use Acrobat 9 PRO now under windows XP, just to discover, that if I make a new pdf document out of this MS WORD document, this will have the links I want just fine. But: if I use this newly created pdf document which is fine and use it as a stamp in another document, the links are not there anymore vanished in the adobe orcus. I have been reading all day, and found no solution.
Maybe I should have a work-around, but I used this method often, and it was perfect. Help? Hilfe? Thanks!

Another addition - I was busy.. I also tried "backgrounds". Made another "stamp-like" pdf with working links. Looks beautiful, but then I use it as a background and guess what: links won't show. What the h....
Thanks for reading this and DANKE for any more suggestions!

URL Hyperlinks in Acrobat (and InDesign) open in new Tab/Window

I really don't understand, why this feature isn't implemented yet. I tried to google a workaround and found hundreds of posts auround this problem. People where asking how they could do this since 2002 (the oldest post I could find) maybe earlier.
Please make sure Acrobat - and also InDesign - get this feature in the next version - because people want to have it!!!
What do I talk about?
The following feature:
I include a textlink or and Image-link into a PDF-File.
Because of the Standard Browser settings most of the people who download a PDF-File will see the PDF in a Browser Tab. Now, if they hit one of the links (included in the PDF) the link opens in the same window/Tab. The PDF is closed. The only way to get back to the PDF is to hit the return button of the browser or reload the PDF. Normally I would like to open these links in a new Tab or Window. But there is no function nor in Acrobat, neither in InDesign to make the Link open in a new TAB/Window.
I know there was a possibillity using JavaScript (app.launchURL("http://www.MySampleURL.com/someFolder/somePage.html", true);)
and this worked. But now because of the security settings of Acrobat X and later it only works if the user changes the settings. So, it's no longer useful because most of the users won't know how to make the links work.
So at the moment there is NO WAY to make the link open in a new Tab.
I know If I link another file, it askes me where to open - new window or the same. Why can't you implement it for URL's too?
Sorry, I searched the whole day to solve this problem. And I can't understand, why Adobe doesn't look at there customers needs (since 2002 or earlier).

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Preserving PDF hyperlinks

Haven't found the answer for this -- how do I preserve hyperlinks in a PDF when I import it into InDesign and then create my .folio file for DPS?
I work for a magazine and many of our files come in as PDFs, and sometimes they have myriad URLs in them that are not hyperlinks. I'd rather convert URLs in those PDFs to hyperlinks in Acrobat (using a script and/or the "Create Links from URLs" command) than tediously convert them to hyperlinks in InDesign by drawing boxes on top of each individual URL in the PDF, or adding buttons, etc.
It doesn't seem logical to me that DPS would completely ignore hyperlinks in a placed PDF in InDesign, but recognize them in a PDF generated by InDesign.
Any/all help appreciated -- thank you....

Howdy Bob!
Any news on Adobe development in this direction? It would facilitate my life 103%...
Best,
Aurelien
