Hyperlink Problem, slow PDF load

I had previously built a Web site with an earlier version of iWeb, and posted it on my site (not .mac) with no problems. I needed to redesign the site; I used iWeb version 2.02. I did everything the way I did before as far as creating hyperlinks, but this time there were problems. The hyperlinks assigned to text mostly work, but the pdf's associated with them load incredibly slowly. Much slower than previously. Additionally, I tried to use images to create hyperlinks, also to pdf files, and some of them worked and others didn't. They were just dead. I tried several times but to no avail.
Does anybody have any suggestions? Also, when installing a hyperlink, and choosing the related file, is there anyway to edit the file's actual pathway? The dialog box just allows me to choose files, which it then loads automatically.
Thanks,
Rex

Hi,
Well, then why don't we get right to figuring out what the reasons are.
-Can I assume we are talking about PDF documents created using a MAC?
-Being exported using either Pages or the Print dialog?
-Using what quality setting if in Pages?
-Compressing or not compressing using Quartz Filter in the Print Dialog?
-Exported files to be opened using which application, browser or program?
If you are making these decisions as necessary than the only other thing you could look at would be the content imported into the documents at time of creation. That is unless your documents have security issues that created problems for those using other platforms during the last year.
Working your way through the above checklist should help you answer your original question.

  • How do I make hyperlinks within a PDF (loaded on a website) open in a new window?

    I dont want the user to have to click the back button to navigate back to the webpage.
    When I made the button in the pdf, I used the action: Open a web link.
    When viewing the file within acrobat it obviously opens the link through my browser, however, when its loaded to the site, it just opens in the same browser window.
    Has anyone managed to solve this issue before?
    I have trawled through many forums now and not found anything appropriate. If someone has seen a solution to this somewhere else then please do share the link.
    Many thanks,
    Z

    The only way to do it, and even that doesn't always work, is by using a script. The basic code to use is:
    app.launchURL("http://www.google.com", true);
    The second parameter tells the browser to open the link in a new window.

  • IPhone 4 Problems (Slow, Not Loading, Double Install)

    Hello, my Verizon iPhone 4 has been acting progressivly worse lately. The phone is sluggish and especially laggy in games and other apps (even a clock app where the second hand 'lurches'). Today I installed a new app and it had the icon on two separate screens (I had to power off/on the phone to get it fixed). Also, the app store takes forever to load or just stops loading (even on fast wifi). Anyone else have these problems or have a suggestion? I did a full restore not long ago with no real improvement. The phone is ~1.5 years old.

    what i would do is a 'hard reset', meaning hold the on/off button and the home button until the slider appears and ignore it until the apple logo appears. you could also try restoring as new, but you will have to reload all your stuff. make sure you back up first.

  • PDFs slow to load in iBooks

    PDFs, especially PDFs with lots of graphics, are slow to load in iBooks.  I have to open the PDF and wait for all pages to load before I can continue on.  I've saved it as an optimized PDF, but that did not work.  Any suggestions?

    I am also having trouble with large pdf files ie. architectural plans. My problem is using in PDF Expert. Very slow. I have contacted PDF Expert support and they tell me they are using the system for rendering pdf's and it has been a problem since iOS5. This is a problem Apple needs to fix.

  • Problem with PDF hyperlinks

    Hello,
    I am having a very weird problem with exporting PDF from InDesign (CS3).
    Ok, so I create, with InDesign, different pages with hyperlinks (text and graphics) and I export them as a PDFs, making sure the "Include hyperlinks" is checked.
    Now the hyperlinks in those PDFs work very well.
    My problem comes when I import those PDFs in a new InDesign file and then export again a new PDF (again with the "Include hyperlinks" checked). The hyperlinks of the imported PDFs doesn't work.
    Does anyone know about a solution?
    Thank you,
    Kina

    PDFs imported into ID are treated as images. The hyperlinks are not visible in an image. If the hyperlink is a full URL, then it may still be active in Acrobat when viewed because of abilities in Acrobat and Reader but it is user choice and may not work for everyone. See here

  • PDF with hyperlinks problem

    Hi all.
    I have a PDF document that I generated from a word document. The word document was created using Office 2007 on a windows XP PC. I converted the document to PDF using Acrobat 9.0 Standard. Upon conversion, the hyperlinks within the PDF file worked fine for me. My PC has IE8. I sent the document to the administrative assistant in our office to review the PDF document. When she clicks the links, she gets the security window asking her to allow or deny PDF access to the web. She clicked the button to allow the link, and then nothing happens. No browser window opens. I checked her machine and it's an XP box with IE7 on it. She is using the acrobat reader 9. I asked a few other folks in the department to try clicking the links and their computers acted as expected. I do not see why problems exist. The only difference I could find on the problematic PC was that the Bing and Google toolbars had been installed. I tried disabling them and that did not solve the problem.
    The boss in my department wants to insure everyone in our department (all 9 of us) can open the links within the PDF before we declare the document in its current PDF state complete and ready to distribute. I have been searching Google for assistance. I found out how to use the link tool to modify the links so they run JavaScript code "app.launchURL("http://www.somesite.com", true);” instead of using the open a web link command. That way a new browser window is opened with every link click rather than using an existing open window and having the user possible missing the opening of the link.  I’ve now tried both methods and am still at a loss. Both methods bring up the security window, but fail to launch the browser.
    All help is greatly appreciated.
    Mike

    There are a few possibilities. First try removing the toolbars rather than disabling them. See if there is any security configuration in IE and Reader that is stopping the weblink from opening. It is possible that the issue is with a security setting within IE that is causing the problem. To check this out see what happens if you view the pdf from within Firefox.

  • Exporting from CS6 to PDF Hyperlink Problems

    Hi there,
    I am developing a document in InDesign CS6.  The document is intended for viewing electronically and will include over 150 hyperlinks to different pdf files. 
    I followed the steps for adding a new hyperlink by chosing windows, interactive, hyperlinks.  I added a new hyperlink; selected "File" under the Link To menu; and then chose the file through the browsing option. 
    Here is my problem:  When I first exported to a pdf, the first few links worked beautifully!  I went through the rest of my document and entered all the hyperlinks needed (over 150).  I then exported to the interactive pdf; however, when i tested the file, the hyperlinks no longer worked!
    I have made sure all the files are in the same file as well. 
    The intent of this document is to save the interactive pdf file, along with all the pdf files used for the hyperlinks, to a usb drive and distribute to over 100 employees with my company. 
    Can anyone please help? 
    Thank you in advance for any advice you may have!

    Select all, and in the tranparency palette turn on align to pixel grid.
    Check the size of your outermost element in the transform panel to have the correct pixel dimensions.
    You can also set your matte color to the color of the background.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • PDF slow to load on iBooks

    I have added a few PDFs to iBooks. The PDFs are graphics heavy on the page. When I open the PDFs, they are very slow to load in iBooks. I have to wait for every page to load in the lower page view before I can start reading the PDF. Has anyone else seen this?

    I used to use Stanza on the iPad for PDFs because they rendered very well and also rendered fast. I, too, find that iBooks renders PDFs very slowly on iPad. Since iOS5, Stanza no longer works, and I've downloaded Adobe's new PDF reader, which actually works nicely in terms of rendering, but doesn't allow for you to customize the title and author fields for easier sorting. Hope this helps.

  • Yahoo mail in FF is slow to load (if it loads at all) and the e-mails do not open when you click on them. I do not have this problem in Chrome or IE

    When I click on Yahoo in FF, the page is slow to load. When it does, the e-mail is even slower to load. When it does load and I click on an e-mail, the e-mail does not open. Any suggestions? If I delete FF and reinstall it, will I lose all the information in FF (e.g. Book marks or preferences)? Thanks in advance for your help.

    HI afirst,
    Just in case [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]], but before that you can clear the cache for a specific site in the about:permissions page.
    Select Yahoo mail on this page and forget the site. This will remove cookies and active logins for mail. Please then restart Firefox and relogin to Yahoo mail.
    If there are any other questions, happy to help.

  • EXS24 is so slow if loading an instrument i never used before

    EXS24 is so slow if loading an instrument i never used before. But after the 1st tough time, loading of this patch can be very fast later even after restarting system thousands of times:-)
    I did not change and use any personal setting of ESX24 data fodler. even if loading a Logic factory sounds, it still happens. only the 1st once time is tough. i tried reinstall Logic 721, the problem is still existing. i tried scaning and save
    scaned data in Project Manager, seems not helpful.
    i think EXS24 is seeking samples data when the 1st time i want to use it. it doesn't make sense because all data is in the local hard drive and i have set
    specific directories to scan in project manager.
    may be this problem is caused by BootCamp. because i installed an XP system
    under wizard from BootCamp. But logically, we can simply initialize user information of Logic for fixing the seeking problem. but i don't know where those information or configuration are stored in OSX.

    i don't think it's normal behavior. because all instruments in my local partition
    are Factory sound bank only:-)
    once time I tried converting some GIG into EXS24 format according to the PDF guide, it was pretty good even the 1st time loading.
    this morning I plug a USB hard driver on my MBP, and then loading a patch
    i never used before. seems surely EXS24 is seeking data, because this a light
    on this USB hard driver was shining for couple seconds before the end of loading.
    anyone knows how to block the seeking directorys of EXS24 during loading?
    according to the Manual of EXS24, only default directory and user-defined directories shall be available. but now seems something's wrong.

  • Forms slow to load in Prosight V7

    We are having difficulty with forms being slow to load in Prosight. It can take up to 20 seconds for a form to load.
    I have found if I redo the Statistics on the SQL tables it settles down back to normal but does not seem to last long as a fix.
    It seems that the SQL execution plan that the database comes up with isn't stable and slows things down again.
    Anyone else had issues with forms loading slowly, if so is there a fix that sticks ?
    Let me know - cheers.
