Hyperlink Text Merge.

Dear All,
I am using InDesign CS5.5 exporting the PDF.
I just opened the pdf file into Acrobat Reader XI,  I just move the cursor hand tool its shown the hyperlink icon and click ok going the correct destination. But I want to copy the same text in PDF file, the text it will automatically merging why? I don't know what is the reason behind this. I also tested the same file in Acrobat Professional using the text edit tool and copy the same text and pasted into the browser or notepad the hard hyphen shown/comes perfectly, In same Acrobat Professional use the text selection tool copy and paste the text into the notepad its merging a texts.
1. Please refer this snapshot below, I'm using the Adobe Reader XI. This one is works perfectly without copy any hyperlink text I just click its goes to the correct destination in this case.
2.But I want copy the same hyperlink text using the Adobe XI with selection tool, its merging the text when pasted into the notepad or web browser. Please refer the below screen shot.
Please give any suggestion or ideas are welcome!
thx,

You need to make sure you can identify the strings to convert to hyperlinks. I'm not a Data Merge user, but you probably can insert a unique identifier before and after the string which you can use to search for the links (in the general gest of {this-is_a_link}, if you are not using braces anywhere else), or perhaps a unique paragraph (when on a single line) or character style.
Then, after merging, you can run a script that searches for this specific attribute, and converts them to a link.

  • Hyperlinked text--the text, not the link--disappears when I create a PDF from a book in FM 11

    I am editing a FrameMaker 11 document with some text that is hyperlinked to a website. Earlier PDFs output fine. When I created the last PDF, some of the text disappeared in the PDF, but it's still visible in FM. On the PDF, the hyperlink is active in the blank space and it works to go to the website. Specifically the hyperlinked text is part numbers in a table with a shaded background--I mention this because if I open a page of the defective PDF in Illustrator--the text that has disappeared is behind the shaded square. Some of the hyperlinked part numbers are visible in the PDF--this seems almost random. It's not just part numbers or rows where I have edited something. I'm editing the document, I didn't create it. My background is InDesign and I am a novice in FrameMaker. Appreciate any guidance or suggestions.

    Not really sure that I fixed the problem, but I did find a work around and wanted to post it if someone else runs across the same issue. Apparently the document creator used lots of custom rules and shading. If I pulled up the custom rules and shading palette and just unchecked both the custom ruling and shading boxes, it allowed me to create the print file correctly--the disappearing part numbers were on the new PDF. I didn't have to update the whole book which I didn't want to do because I feared it would mess up the rules and shading. Just unchecking the box before creating the PDF solved that issue for my purposes.

  • Alt text mouseover in hyperlink text?

    I use alt tag text in Dreamweaver CS4 to give a text synopsis of the content on the linked page. If possible, how do you make alt text in the mouse-over of a hyperlink, for PDF output?External hyperlink text does give the address as a mouse-over alt text, but how do you modify that alt text?
    If this is impossible in InDesign CS4, what would be the most efficient work-around solution? Comment boxes in Acrobat? Flash?

    There is no way that I know to define Alt text when creating a hyperlink. However, if a hyperlink points to a URL, when you pause your mouse over the hyperlink in Acrobat or Reader, a tooltip will show the URL the hyperlink points to.
    What you might investigate is using buttons. A little-used feature of creating buttons (which can be used to trigger actions of various kinds) is that you can specify what you could call "Alt text" which appears as tooltips when you mouse over them. When you define the button in the Button panel in CS4 or CS5, go to the flyout menu in the Button panel and select PDF Options. There is a Description field there which creates the text for a tooltip. So if the button is used to trigger a sound, for example, you could have the Description read "Double-click to Play". You'll see that text in the tooltip.

  • Appending to a word document hyperlink text

    Hey, Is it possible to change the hyperlink text not the address? I would like to append to it not completely replace it. This is my example. I would like the hyperlink to display "Fig 1" instead of just the number "1". Is this
    possible somehow? thanks.

    Hi Rundownbassman92,
    This script below may be helpful for you to edit the text of hyperlink in a Word Document:
    $word = New-Object -ComObject word.application
    $document = $word.documents.open("word file path")
    $hyperlinks = @($document.Hyperlinks)
    $hyperlinks | ForEach {
    $newtext ="Fig "+ $_.TextToDisplay # add "Fig" before original text
    $_.TextToDisplay=$newtext
    $document.save()
    $word.quit()

  • Copying Hyperlinked Text from PDF to Word (or elsewhere)

    Hello-
    I am at my wit's end, so I hope someone can help... I have a PDF with text that hyperlinks to a web page. It works great within Acrobat Pro, but if I try to copy and paste that text/hyperlink into an email, or word file, it loses the underlying hyperlink and only retains the text.
    Example: The text would say "Click here to hear about Company X and Solution Y" and all of this text is hyperlinked to "www.google.com/companyx" or whatever. When I copy and paste that from the PDF into another application, I am left with the "click here" text, but not the underlying web page.
    Here is the tricky part. I have found that if I select additional text that is not hyperlinked in addition to the hyperlinked text, and then right-click over the non-linked text, I get an option to "copy with formatting". Now I am able to copy/paste as one would expect. The problem is that this is not intuitive at all.
    Can someone please let me know if this is a problem with PDF's, or if I can change settings when I Export out of InDesign? Or is there some other workaround?
    Thank you SO much in advance!
    Dash

    Here is a visual example of what I am referring to, showing the right-click location and the different options that appear. (The blue selection box is from me selecting and dragging around the question from a non-text area)

  • How to create an interactive pdf, hyperlinking text to a video on a usb drive?

    Creating an interactive pdf in InDesign CS6, hyperlinking text to a video.  Both pdf and video placed on a usb thumbdrive.  When clicking link on Mac a warning box came up, but after clicking Allow the video played fine.  On PC the warning box also came up but clicking Allow did nothing

    You'll need to use startDrag and stopDrag  in order to be able to move an object (the slider handle).  You will need to specify a rectangle that has 0 height for the drag limits.  The width of that rectangle will define the maximum value of the scroll (which will be the maximum value of your scale.
    Assuming you will have a linear scale for values along the drag line, the math is fairly easy to manage.  The x property of the handle at the minimum slider position should be 0.  You use the ratio of the current x position of the slider handle to the full width to determine what value to assign ( ex: ratio = handle.x / rectangleWidth).  So if the minimum value is 1K and the maximum value in 10K, you essentially have 9K represented by the length of the line, so the value provided by the slider position at any point along that line would be 1K + (ratio * 9K)
    You can use a MOUSE_MOVE event listener that you assign when the slider's MOUSE_DOWN event occurs to update the textfield as the slider is moved.  You can remove the MOUSE_MOVE listener when the slider's MOUSE_UP event occurs.
    So, in summary, you need to look into the startDrag and stopDrag methods, which will be inititiated using MOUSE_DOWN and MOUSE_UP events, respectively.  The MOUSE_DOWN event will create a MOUSE_MOVE listener that you will use to have a function continually update the textfield value displayed, while the MOUSE_UP event will have that MOUSE_MOVE listener removed.  The ratio of the x property of the slider to the total slideable distance will be used to determine the current value that the MOUSE_MOVE event handler assigns to the textfield display.

  • Changing hyperlink text colors.

    I saw few posts asking about changing hyperlink text colors. And there are many camps regarding this topic. Suzanne Boben would recommend editing template XML . Some would recommend editing published HTML code. Some would recommend editing CSS code.
    But it came down to couple things.
    1) proficient in XML, HTML or CSS
    2) tried different colors, but it did turned out as expected
    One easy way is editing CSS files, this only apply to pages' hyperlink text; if your text got turn to PNGs, read no further .
    iWeb generates a CSS file for the associated HTML page - CSS file is in the Page_files folder.
    Edit the CSS files and keep copies of them, then you won't have to edit them again the next time you publish you sites.
    These CSS files are quite easy to understand, all you have to do is to look for a { , a:visited { and a:hover { .
    They contain RGB (Red Green Blue) values for link color, visited link color and rollover color.
    But what about those #8000FF and #4c4c4c?
    Well, I know they are RGB hexadecimal color values, but I don't what colors they are, so I came up with Argiope (Argiope is a family colorful spiders).
    It's a colors picker application to help with choosing background color, link color and rollover color. It'll give you the exact RGB hexadecimal value of chosen color.
    You can find Argiope here. Enjoy

    It can be done, but I have to do too much works.
    I already have a a script to do that, but it's quite complicated for an average bear.
    http://www.geocities.com/[email protected]/iWeb_utils --> LinksColors.zip
    Does just that, it is flexible, you can configure the colors for individual page, but it is quite different to configure. Look at the colors.txt and page.txt.
    If you really want to know more, ping me.

  • How to hyperlink text in a paragraph

    Hi all (apologies for a newbie question but I couldn't find an answer to this looking through the FAQs)
    I inserted a text box in my composition (called "linksAtBottom") and it looks like this:
    faq  |  board |  mission | join our mailing list | contact us
    All of the above are listed in that one text box called "linksAtBottom"
    How do I highlight just "faq", "board", "mission" and so on and tag each with their own URL hyperlink?
    Many thanks!
    Nathan

    Hi Jordi,
    Adding your whole text to the dynamic textfield via code, in the code window would be the easiest way to get all your text in that textfield I believe. Another option would be to load in the text via xml.
    You can control the normal Edge text props for your dynamic text field, using the text properties panel in Edge. You can't style your hyperlinked text with that built in panel though. For this, I've been using an external stylesheet to style hyperlinked text. I did see a post by forum member oolorin, who suggested that you could put styles inline as shown below (external style sheet is much cleaner though):
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4375947
    sym.$("text_1").html("<style type='text/css'>a:hover{text-decoration:underline;};</style>This is some <a href='randomtext.com' target='_blank' alt='check out my random text'><span style='cursor: pointer;'>random text</span></a>.");

  • Changing hyperlink text color...

    I see how to change hyperlink text colors for a page (normal, rollover, visited, active) but I am hoping for something more complicated- I would like a link to change color on rollover, but stay that color until another link is clicked, then return to its original color. ( I have a swap image applied to five links on a page, clicking on each word displays a different image.) Is there any code I can add that will get a link to remain a rollover color until something else is selected? Thanks in advance!

    CSS menus are much leaner and more efficient than image rollovers.

  • Hiding hyperlink text with opacity, fails to export.

    Hi
    I use the settings for hyperlinked text with 0 opacity in normal state, and full opacity on when you have it selected or a mouse over the text.
    So the text will pop up when "mouse over".
    Worked in iweb 2, (but made only parts of the text visible when mouse over...) In Iweb 2.1 it doesnt work at all....Is this possibility removed?

    Well, I'm definitely hoping that this one will get fixed soon. I have several pages that are behaving very strange. When I add hyperlinks, the pages end up being blank when viewed. I take the links away, and the published pages are readable again. It's as if the CSS or encoding of some kind is not working properly. So, for now, for the pages to be viewable, I need to remove all links from the pages. I've tested this with the latest version of iWeb and starting from a blank blog entry. Very strange. Oddly, it doesn't seem to be consistent across all blog entries. I'll try to write back as I learn more.
