Hyperlinking from a PDF to a website

Hello,
I have a PDF that is basically a map image. It has several points on it that are representing water wells.
I would like to link these points to a table from a web site, so the beginning of the link would be http://www.....
How do I do this?

Use the Link tool. Details should be in the help file

  • Remove a hyperlink from a PDF

    Hi. I need to remove a hyperlink from a PDF in Acrobat Pro 9. When I googled this, the answers all referred to editing a 'box around the link', which I can’t see. does anyone know how I can make the box visible?

    Acrobat - - Standard or Pro - - any version provides the Link tool.
    With Acrobat 9 Pro you can access this tool by opening the Advanced Editing toobar.
    Select the Link tool icon.
    Now any Link annotation on any of the PDF's pages will display as a rectangle.
    Select the desired link annotation / annotations.
    Press the Delete key on the keyboard.
    The link annotations are deleted.
    Do a File :: Save As on the open PDF.
    Be well...

  • Missing hyperlinks from MS Word Mac and websites

    Dear Adobe users,
    I do not have any luck after a few hours' search via google.  I tried to create a pdf file from a webpage with hyperlinks.
    After some searches, I knew printing as Adobe PDF does not work as it is a print file.
    Then I copy the web page in MS Word Mac 2011 and save as pdf. The resulting pdf file is a just a document with blue underlined for those links.
    Creating pdf from Adobe XI pro Mac does not work either. It is another file with blue underlined again.
    Some said the ribbon helps. This seem meaningless to use as a Mac user.
    Is there really no way to create a pdf with hyperlink from website?  If you are telling me I'd better live with the Word document, I am speechless.
    Thanks.

    This is a 15-20 year old defect in Acrobat.
    This one of those everyone points to Acrobat and Adobe points to everyone but themselves.
    Word URLs Mailto from Office Mac were ignored. you had to add them Manual and even doing so they don't turn blue and underline as they are supposed to.  what makes URLs Mailtos work is a unique piece of JavaScript code. unfortunately Adobe doesn't use industry standard JavaScript. Its unique to Adobe only.
    I say were ignored Acrobat X and XI have partially  addressed this problem. As long as Urls and Mailtos were created by word by Office's Auto correct feature the Following to methods will work
    Method #1:
    create the Word Document making sure any URLs and Mailto turn blue and become underlined and work.
    save as docx document.
    Go to File Menu > Print
    Click and hold mouse button (touch pad) down on PDF button until context menu appears.
    Choose Adobe quality PDF
    Follow Directions as they come up (this uses Adobe PDF Generator)
    Save PDF.
    Open PDF you should be able see and use all Urls and Mailtos created by Words Auto-Correct
    Method #2
    create the Word Document making sure any URLs and Mailto turn blue and become underlined and work.
    save as docx document.
    Make sure Acrobat is Quit
    Make sure the icon of Acrobat is in the Dock (some what equivalent PC's Startup Menu)
    Locate the file just saved
    Drag and Drop file on to the Acrobat icon in the Dock
    Wait until Acrobat Processes the File.
    When PDF shows up save file.
    This method works with Smaller Files best. The larger the file the longer it will take to Process, and be more likely to fail.
    Neither Method works Urls and Mailtos created with Word's insert URL command.
    That will take another 20 years to resolve .
    The PDF command in apple's print menu if you just click real fast and Word's SaveAs... PDF uses Apple's PDF engine that will always not be have active links.
    Curios thing if you take a Mac Office word file and do nothing to it and open in Word and create a PDF even the links created by the insert URL command will work. So the issue has nothing to do with the way Office Mac Creates file it’s the way Acrobat Mac Processes Word Files.

  • Hyperlinks from placed PDF

    Hi
    Is there any ways to pick up hyperlinks from placed PDFand convert them to InDesign hyperlinks (or buttons)?
    Of course there´s no native text in placed PDF but converted hyperlinks could be for instance rectangles on the top of the original hyperlink.

    Importing PDF pages
    Using the Place command, you can specify which pages you want to import from a multipage PDF: You can place a single page, a range of pages, or all pages. Multipage PDF files let designers combine illustrations for a publication into a single file.
    The page range options appear when you select Show Import Options in the Place dialog box. The dialog box includes a preview, so you can view a thumbnail of the pages before you place them. As you place each page, InDesign reloads the graphics icon with the next page, letting you place the pages one after the next.
    i InDesign doesnt import movies, sound, links, or buttons when you place a PDF file.

  • How to hyperlink from a pdf file to a specific page in a second pdf file

    I would like to setup a set of pdf documents, on the hard disk of a PC or Mac, that can be open in acrobat pro and have hyperlinks that jump to, and open in a new window, in acrobat pro, to a given page of a second document in the set.
    It seems to me to be something that everyone would want to do and should be simple enough.
    But I seem to be missing something.
    I had partial success a few years ago using what I recall are the following general points:
    Create files in word,
    Use absolute address
    Use / not \,
    Converting the spaces in the address to %20
    Set the hyperlink base to “file:///T:/PdfDocumentsFolder/”
    Add location with  #page=3 to end of file name, 
    Convert to pdf with acrobat pdfmaker
    Open pdf with web browser into reader.(could not get it to work on mac with OS 9) by Checking Edit-Preferences-Internet-Web Browser Options-Display PDF in browser
    This will allow the pdf to open to a given page, but only in the acrobat reader under MS IE, Not in Acrobat pro and not on a mac even in the reader.
    Now I have a large (500) PDF documents with a very large number of comments and a key user switched to a Mac and can not automatically go to the page and would lose or have to transfer comments that have been made on the pdfs.
    I have looked at and tried a number of things that have not worked:
    Change all the links by hand:
    Tools-Advanced Editing-Link
    Action-Open file
    I can not see where when Inserting a link by hand one can place the page number
    Action-Open weblink
    Close, This can open a file,
    If Edit-Preferences-Internet-Web Browser Options-Display PDF is checked it will jump to a page
    But if it is not checked it will open in acrobat pro and not to the page
    Does not seem to work on a mac
    Looked at acrobat javascript
    Don’t seem to see any method that would allow a page number
    Under open document
    Open under a URL
    app.launchURL("Document.pdf", true);
    seems to error if a #page=2 is add to file name
    Looked at security
    Don’t seem to see that there is anything in the preferences that can be set to enable the jump to page action
    Looked at privileged and non-privileged and did not see how that would help
    Looked at adding disclosed=true;
    function Disclose()
    this.disclosed = true;
    Looked at Portfolios to see if some kind of group of documents would allow the jumps but could not find a solution.
    I have not looked at bookmarks to see if I bookmarked every page “Pagexxx” and then jump to the bookmark would get around the problem.
    So I am not getting the right combination and could use some help
    Thanks
    John
    Current Systems in use:
    Windows XP
    Acrobat 9 pro version 9.4.4
    Or
    Mac OS 10 Lion version 10.7.4
    Acrobat 9 pro version 9.5.1
    (note I have limited understanding of Mac’s)
    P.S.
    In a similar vain within the word source documents I was able to get a hyperlinks to make the same kind of jump to a page using a VBA macro with the following call:
    Shell "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe  /A page=" & iPageNum & "&Zoom=125=OpenActions """ & sHyperlinkBase & sHyperlinkAddress & """", vbNormalFocus
    After parsing the hyperlink and to get file name and  the page number
    So I know acrobat pro can be called as an application to jump to a page

    Thanks for that information.
    I did not see that the “go to view link” could change documents. I thought it was only within a document.
    I manually added two “go to view links” and that seems to work on both mac and pc computers.
    That brings up two questions.
    For old files can a acrobat java script batch file be setup to read the hyperlinks in a pdf document  and replace them with a “go to view link” style?
    Can one place a “go to view link” style in a word document and then have the adobe convert to acrobat process it into the pdf format with the rest of the document? (or set up the converter to make word hyperlinks change to pdf “go to view links”?

  • Hyperlinks from email, pdf and word no longer work to connect to that webpage, though they work in IE.

    I think I recently updated firefox, in any case, I do when requested. Just in the last few days, I can no longer make hyperlinks work from email, word or pdf documents. I have to cut and paste the url. I tried doing the reset under troubleshooting, but it did not work. I tried setting the network connection to auto detect, but that did not fix it either. As I can get hyperlinks to work with internet explorer, I assume it is something with firefox. I am not a particularly savy computer user, so clear instructions would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    Try to redo the default browser (i.e make IE the default and then let Firefox do it again).

  • Does anyone know how to deactivate a hyperlinks from a PDF exported from Pages?

    I have created a pages doc that I needs to be exported as PDF. In pages, I all the hyperlinks are deactivated, but every time I export it to a PDF the hyperlinks are reactivated. Does anyone know how to make sure the hyperlinks stay deactivated once the doc is converted to a PDF?

    If the links are spelled out (example:http://www.somewebsite.com) and not actual hyperlinks where the links are embedded under regular text, Reader will recognize them as links automatically unless the user has that option turned off (it's on be default). You can't keep that from happening unless the text is an image.

    Help me how to read the Hyperlinks from the PDF file using java ...
    Thanks in advance,
    With Regards,
    J.Imran

    Instead of cross-posting unformatted code you could have taken a look at the API, because there you might have come across a method named getLinks...Even though it's not documented, I really suspect that it will return the Hyperlinks on a given page.

  • How to keep hyperlink from excel to PDF?

    I have some Hyperlinks in excel, and when i convert to PDF, they dont work.
    I already installed the Adobe Acrobat PRO XI (Trial version)
    How can i do this?
    tks

    Step 1. Install PDF Editor
    1) Download PDF Editor and install this software by double clicking the exe file. During the installation, please follow installation message and choose the right option according to your needs.
    2) Once the installation finishes, there will be an icon on the desktop. Please launch this software by double clicking the icon.
    Step 2. Remove Hyperlinks from PDF
    1) The following snapshot is from the software interface. Please click option Open to add PDF file to software interface. Or you can simply drag PDF file to software interface.
    2) Please find option Edit Link then click it. The mouse will turn to cross. Please drag area around the picture which will lead you to website.
    3) Then there will be red rectangle frame around it. Right click the red frame and choose Property in the dropdown list. Then you will see the dialogue box like I showed in the left named Link Properties. Here you can set link actions, like open a page in a document, open a file or open a website file. Those options are useful when you need to add hyperlinks. Meanwhile it is helpful when you need to remove hyperlinks.
    4) If there is link on the image, the link will be shown on the Property tab. Please simply remove it here and then click button OK to back to the main interface.
    5) By this way, the link will be removed successfully.

  • Hyperlinks from Word not correct in pdf when in web browser v7

    We have a table of contents that we we have in word, the word file has hyperlinks to individual PDF files.  After a new item is added to the table on contents, we distill the word to a pdf.  Users access the pdf from a web page.  Recently something changed and the pdf file of the table of contents is not linking to the correct pdf file. 

    Thanks for clarifying that. We hadnt given consideration to the use of signatures like thatr as you have mentioned.
    Can we distribute the document without the risk of losing the signature validity in the Word document ?
    Is it better to apply signatures to PDFs ?
    Or can we preserve the appearance of the signature in the Word document ?
    I wonder why just one of the signatures is not displaying when i use the Adobe menu to generate the PDF.
    Perhaps some setting in the job options is causing that? What might it be though ?

  • Hyperlinks from CHM to PDF

    Our documentation comprises On-line Help as CHM files, and User Guides as PDF. Up to now the user guides were printed but we wish to provide them as PDF for on-screen use.
    Now we also wish to have hyperlinks from CHM to PDF and vice versa. We can presumably (I haven't yet tested this) handle PDF-to-CHM using the context-sensitive help functionality, but when we make links from CHM-to-PDF we are unable to go to a specified location in the PDF.
    The calls we use are of the type:
    <a href='SomeDocument.pdf#page=10'>
    <a href='SomeDocument.pdf#G1025448'>
    <a href='SomeDocument.pdf#nameddest=SomeChapter'>
    and they work in the preview window but not from CHM; the PDF opens on page 1 rather than at the specified page or marker.
    I had some success embedding the PDF call in a batch file and calling that, but that will be unmaintainable.
    We use RoboHelp 8 and FrameMaker 7.1. Would updating to TCS2 (ie Frame 9) help us? From what I could find on Adobe.com TCS allows importing from Frame but we do not want to import, just to cross-refer, preferably with links which can be updated automatically.
    Anybody who can advise us?
    --- Derek

    I have made a dent in the problem, can't say I've cracked it yet.
    RoboWizard has a page describing the use of HTML Help Shortcuts which is got me started (thanks Rick, if you'll post here I'll give you a "Helpful Answer").
    The procedure I now use is, in RoboHelp: Insert > HTML Help Controls > Shortcut. I fill in second part of the wizard like this:
    so that it calles Acrobat to display the PDF (full path given), with parameters to search for a string "bookmark_2".
    Then in the PDF I add a comment using Comments > Tools > Highlight and edit its properties like this:
    When I compile the CHM and click the link, Acrobat opens and searches for the string. I made sure it was unique so the user is brought to the correct place.
    Now it's a bit clumsy since you have to add the bookmark manually after creating the PDF from Frame, but it does work.
    The other problem is that the HTML Control is not editable except in RoboHelp's HTML view. You can edit it in Design view but the edit doesn't stick. In HTML view the link details are present three times and you have to edit them all.
    Anybody have bright ideas to streamline this process?

    Hi.
    Does this only open on that specific site?
    In any case, you may want to:
    - instruct Firefox to handle PDF files in a specific way by going into Tools > Options > Applications and selecting the option you want for the PDF files
    - reinstall Adobe Reader and its Firefox plugin
    - install another reader instead of Adobe Reader. I recommend Foxit Reader ( http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/ ), since it's free, VERY light, VERY fast, safe and also has a Firefox plugin (make sure you don't have both Adobe Reader plugin and Foxit Reader plugin enabled/installed at the same time in Firefox)

  • Why does it take 2 or 3 minutes to access a url from a hyperlink in a pdf document?

    With either Adobe Reader locally or the plug-in on a website, it takes a huge amount of time for a url called by a hyperlink in a pdf document to appear in a browser window. Can anyone explain why this happens and, hopefully, how to fix it?

    Yes, sorry about that. I am using Win XP Pro and Adobe Reader 11.0.08 and plug-in 11.0.07.79. The browser is Firefox 35.0.01. The problem goes away if I disable the Adobe plug-in and use the native Firefox pdf handler. The same problem also occurs in Safari for Windows.
    During the delay between clicking the hyperlink and the target url's being displayed, the "not responding" error appears for the browser in question.
    This happens on both my desktop machine and my portable (also running WinXP; the Adobe plug-in is 11.0.8.4)
