Hyperlink to documents

Is there a way to create a button with a hyperlink to an external document? In presentations I flip between the presentation and worksheets in Excel. In PowerPoint I can do that on a button on the individual slide, but Keynote will only show slide, email, other preso, or end preso. Any ideas? I'm using Keynote 09.

You can access PDF documents directly from a link if you turn on the machines local web server, and place the documents in the appropriate web hosting folder. This works for PDF documents because they will render in Safari, whereas Office documents won't.
An alternative is to use application switching to flip between documents and presentation. Open the Excel file(s) you want to use, then, when the presentations is running, use Command-Tab to switch to these open documents, and Command-Tab to switch back.

Interactive Report Hyperlinks to Document

I am converting an Access database to Apex manually due to the Access DB design flaws. I'm exporting tables that contain hyperlinks to documents on our server (from Access the user can link to the document). On export the liinked text exported as "title of document#link to server#" so I separated them into two columns. I now have the document title in one column and the hyperlink to that document in another, and created an interactive report containing those two columns along with the rest of the columns (i.e., DOCNO, NAME, LINK, DATE, etc.)
I want the user to link from the Interative Report link to that particular document on our server using the active link that I trimmed out.
How?
Your ideas welcomed!
Thank you!

Possible to insert a HYPERLINK in document HEADER?

Subject: Possible to insert a HYPERLINK in document HEADER?
I have a 300 page document, where the first page is a "Table of Contents".
I would like to provide the readers with a QUICK way ("no-brainer/easy" way) for the reader to JUMP back to that "Table of Contents" page from any place in the document.
Can I, perhaps, insert a hyperlink to the "Table of Contents" in the document HEADER? Or is there a different way to go about this?
Thanks for anybody's creative answer (the simpler the better . . . .)

Hi.
Thanks for your reply.
It was originally a Microsoft Word document. I just clicked "convert to pdf" from the toolbar. Then, in Acrobat 8, I have inserted a page-number header.
Can I perhaps insert a hyperlink within that HEADER . . . pointing back to the first (Table of Contents) page?

Would like to automate the process of hyperlinking pdf documents

I've been tasked with finding a solution to the following problem:
A need has arisen where I work where large PDF files (commonly > 2000 pages) need to be hyper-linked. The PDF files are in fact Brief's of Evidence (prosecution files) and are generally in a particular format and order. Generally, the order is as follows: 1. Various index documents, 2. Witness statements and 3. Exhibit documents. Usually there are many more exhibit documents than there are witness statements.
In each witness statement, the witness may refer to an many exhibit documents and it's this reference that needs to be hyper-linked to the particular exhibit document (located many pages away).   As a standard each exhibit is allocated an exhibit number, commencing at 1 but displayed as "0001". The filename of the individual exhibit is accordingly named, "0001.pdf" Using Adobe Professional (version 7) these files are merged and as a consequence bookmarks are automatically created.
What tools from Adobe are available that will assist with programmatically or automatically scanning (checking) each witness statement (a pdf document) and where relevant predetermined (however that's done or achieved) areas (exhibit references) are required to be hyperlinked to their respective document many pages away.
Is this doable?   Are there developer kits available?
Any advice appreciated.
Regards,
Steven Taylor

Acrobat can't do what you want out of the box. It needs a plug-in that can do that. Have a look at this third party plug-in for Acrobat: AutoBookmark Plug-in for Adobe® Acrobat® / Create and Manage PDF Bookmarks, Links and Destinations   It has a trial version so you can test it to see if it meets your needs.

Use of Hyperlinks in documents --- what will we do...

We want to upgrade our SharePoint Foundation (SPF) 2010, ServerA, to SPF 2013 on new hardware, ServerB. The two boxes have different names. I spoke to the heavy SPF 2010 users and they make liberal use of hyperlinks in their spreadsheets
stored in the site to other documents in the same site. So when we try to move everything to ServerB it will break their hyperlinks. (That's the day I go on vacation );
OK, this is a problem we have to deal with but how can it be
avoided in the future? I understand the need to "link" to other documents in SharePoint but is there an alternative approach that avoids the server name dependency?
TIA,
edm2

Use the same URL in the destination server. You can add an AAM that mirrors what was used on ServerA to the Web Application in use on ServerB, update DNS for that name to point to ServerB, and off your users go, not knowing any better.

Hyperlink to Document on Solaris Server

Hi All,
I would like to create a hyperlink to a PDF document physically located on a Solaris Server, in the text that appears in the email notification that is delivered to an SAP user's outlook inbox. The text is the task description of a step of the workflow. I know the method where you use transaction SO72 to create hypertext text modules and then use these in the task descritpion. But I would like the hyperlink to go to a document in a specific path on the Solaris server.
Is this the correct method to use? If it is, then what's left to do? If it is not, please specify the method I need to use.

Hello All,
I am still in need of assistance on this one, guys. Any contribution will be most appreciated.

[CS3][JS] Internally hyperlinking a document

Hi All,
I'm trying to internally link a document by section numbers. Our books have what we call an analysis, which is basically a mini-table of contents at each chapter. The idea was to link the analysis to the section headings, starting longest section numbers first. And, their may be multiple sources linking up to one destination.
An example of the section numbers is 53-129a. I used a search to find all the section numbers - app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "(53.\\d\\d\\d\\l+)";
It seems to find all the section numbers as expected, but when it gets to the final loop where it actually does the linking, it ignores the letter at the end of the section numbers and I get an error because it tries to create multiple source links to 53-129a.
An example document is attached and the full script is below. I've run out of ideas; please let me know if you can help.
Thanks,
Mike
var myDoc = app.activeDocument
var myHyperlinkStyle = myDoc.characterStyles.item("hyperlink");
//Link destination:
app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "(53.\\d\\d\\d\\l+)";
app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "Catchline" //catchlines are the section headings
var myFoundCatchline = app.activeDocument.findGrep();
for (var z = myFoundCatchline.length-1; z >= 0; z--){
//$.writeln (myFoundCatchline[z].contents)
var myHyperlinkDestination = myDoc.hyperlinkTextDestinations.add(myFoundCatchline[z])
//Link source(s):
app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = myFoundCatchline[z].contents
app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "Analysis"
var myFoundAnalysis = app.activeDocument.findGrep();
for (var i = myFoundAnalysis.length-1; i >= 0; i--){
//$.writeln (myFoundAnalysis[i].contents)
var myHyperlinkTextSource = myDoc.hyperlinkTextSources.add(myFoundAnalysis[i])
var myHyperlink = myDoc.hyperlinks.add (myHyperlinkTextSource, myHyperlinkDestination, undefined)
myHyperlink.visible = false
myFoundAnalysis[i].appliedCharacterStyle = myHyperlinkStyle

Could this maybe have something to do with plugins?
I had a similar problem before on the desktop version. I couldn't create a package because the file was created on an InDesign which had plugins I didn't have.
Our server uses some plugins, but since the packaging is done by the same server, this shouldn't be a problem I guess.
I tried to delete contents from the original INDD file to see if fonts, links or other things were creating the problem. Now I've got an INDD file wich is as good as empty, and it still won't package on the server. If I try to do this on my InDesign CS3 desktop version it works.
Last thing I noticed in the instructions file, it says:
FILE PACKAGE LIST
1. 26a.indd; type: Adobe InDesign publication; size: 0K
The size of the original document is about 1Mb, why would it say 0 Kb ?
I really hope someone knows what is causing this.
Thanks,
Dany

Insert Picture/Hyperlink as Document Property

Hi All,
I have been able to insert most of the metadata into Word template as document properties but the Picture and Hyperlink column is not available. I also tried using INCLUDEPICTURE field like this:
{INCLUDEPICTURE "http://<Site>/SiteCollectionImages/{DOCPROERPTY CustomerFirstName}.jpg" \d}
where CustomerFirstName is the Sharepoint Doc library column.
Does anyone know how to do this? If this is Office question I can post it in that forum as well. Thanks for any pointers.

Add hyperlink recompose document

Hi,
I receive documents from a third party company that uses specific hyphenation plug-in of their own.
I have a script that adds hyperlinks using :
     - linkDestination = myDocument.hyperlinkURLDestinations.add
     - linkSource = myDocument.hyperlinkTextSources.add
     - then myDocument.hyperlinks.add(linkSource, linkDestination, {name : hyperLinkName});
It causes the recomposition of the text with different hyphenation as I do not (and shall not) have the specific hyphenation plug-in.
Is there a way to create hyperlinks without the document being recomposed (in fact no text or style has changed, there is no need to recompose) ?
Regards,
Lionel
PS : I use indesign CS5.5

Yeah, much to my dismay I saw this happen on otherwise complete documents: adding a simple XML or hyperlink markup -- which should have been fully transparent to the actual text -- suddenly made the text re-compose.
A possible solution for Lionel is to create rectangles on top of the text, and assign the hyperlinks to these instead. These rectangles could be created on a layer of their own, so they can easily be removed if the text gets edited.
A small drawback is that you can measure bottom, left, and right of text -- but not the top! However, you can sort of fake it: make the rectangle one leading amount high and move it down by about a 1/3th of its height (eyeballing result).

Hyperlink to Documents in Pages 2.0?

Does anybody know whether it is possible to link to other documents in Pages 2.0? It wasn't possible in the first version, and I'm hoping that they've added it in.
Thanks,

PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4)

I sent feedback to Apple about this tonight. It would be easy, but the path in the inspector automatically inserts http://. It seems trivial for them to take that away, and let you insert paths to files instead of webpages.
Let's hope we see this in an update!

Append Hyperlinked Documents when converting Word to PDF

I have Windows XP & Acrobat Pro 9 (which I just installed and am not real familiar with)
We have many scenarios when we have one Word document that contains several hyperlinks to other Word documents. (For example - an Index or a Court document that references hyperlinked Word exhibits, etc.)
When we convert the "one" word document to PDF - we need to somehow grab all of the other hyperlinked Word documents as well.
It would also be nice if the hyperlinks still took you to the "now appended documents" below - but at a minimum I need to at least grab the hyperlinked documents.
Any suggestions?

Empty the TEMP folder or print to the Adobe PDF printer. The latter might be worth trying to be sure things are working.
You may have to uncheck a lot of the options in the PDF Maker preferences, particularly tags. Keep in mind that large graphics require a lot of disk space in the translation as the PS format is not very memory efficient for graphics (at least from what I have seen). You might also make a copy of the DOC file and then select a graphic and choose format. In the lower left corner of the general tab is a compress button. Try that to reduce the graphics resolution and see if that solves the problem.

Hyperlinks in word documents in chrome on Mac not opening

Hello
We have word documents with hyperlinks throughout. We have it set to Use the server default (Open in the browser).
For our Mac users, they open fine on the first page in Mozilla but the second page and thereafter they are not clickable.
In chrome they don't open at all.
Can you please advise what to do?
Thank you.

Hi
You cannot save a file that includes a hyperlink
A document that has a hyperlink that includes non-Latin characters, a shape, or is otherwise corrupted, might prevent you from saving or editing the hyperlink. To work around the issue, delete the object that you added the hyperlink to.

Hyperlinking across Word documents into RoboHelp

I hope this is in the right forum ...
I author documentation in Microsoft Word and then import into RoboHelp HTML (v11 & generating in the Multiscreen HTML5 layout).
I have multiple word documents and a lot of hyperlink in those word documents.
Some documents have hyperlinks that reference locations in different documents.
At the moment, when I import Word documents, the hyperlinks that reference locations in a different document break (dont work) which causes a great deal of work for me to find and fix.
Is it possible to have a hyperlink in Document A link to a spot in Document B and have it stil work after the documents have been imported?

In short, no there isn't Kate. When a Word file is imported, the content is built into one or more .HTM files. The link in the word file at the point it is converted may not know what file name will be created, especially if the referenced section comes after the link.

Hyperlink to word documents so that they are editable?

Whenever I hyperlink to an Office document using anchor "<A>" tag, no one can edit the documents. However, if I go into the backend and open the documents using SharePoint's context menu, I get the option to edit documents. Does anyone know
how to bypass this problem? I know SharePoint uses javascript to open office documents but is there a work around with plain old HTML?
I get the below prompt when I open word document from document library's interface:
How can I open a word document using a plain old hyperlink tag that would let me edit it? Every time I open it, it is in read-only mode and there is no way for me to change it.
Thanks

Hi diffident,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to have a hyperlink to document edit mode.
You can use the script below to achieve it.
<a href=""
onclick="editDocumentWithProgID2('http://server/site/doclib/folder/Document.docx',
'SharePoint.OpenDocuments', '0',
'http://server/site', '0')">
This will open the file in edit mode
</a>
Here is a detailed article for your reference:
