Hyperlinks: Accessibility

I have come across the issue of hyperlinks in dynamic text
fields being non-selectable when using a screen reader. Is there a
fix or a workaround for this at all?
I'm developing for Flash Player 7 and using JAWS 7.0 to test.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have come across the same problem. As I work for an
e-learning company, who create for government and schools,
accessibility is a big issue. Flash does still seem to lack in some
respects in terms of creating accessible content.
This hyperlink issue is the main problem, the only solution I
could come up with was to add invisible buttons that had a getURL.
This is less than ideal, but means the link is available to those
using a screen reader.
I wonder if there is any improvement to this in Flex 2/Action
Script 3, but doubt there is. If anyone has a better solution, I'm
sure we'd both appreciate it.

  • How to add Distribution channel in Activity search result

    Hi All,
    As i am new in BSP area need your help.
    My requirment is to add a ditribution Channel in activity Search criteria as well as in search result.i am done with adding a DC in search critaria but not able to understand how to add a DC in Search result.
    Component     : BT126S_APPT
    View              :  BT126S_APPT/ApptSR
    Context Node :  BTQRACT  - Under this CN there is no attribute called DC.
    To add i DC in above context node:
    1. Need to create a Z attribute in Context Node.
    2. In get method of attribute need to read the DC's attribute which entred in search criteria.how to get this value.
    Please help me to solve this issue.
    DC = Disttribution channel.
    CN = Context Node.
    Thanks,
    Shweta.

    The cleaner approach in my view could be to provide a hyperlink and when the user presses the link option you can show the partner data in the key field.So for example some body wants to see the partners for a particular Sold to Party just do allow him/her a hyperlink access.For this the end user must be aware of the functionality.
    Alternatively make this view a part of the Viewset which will contain the search & result view.When you select a particular opportunity row from the result row , you can show the partners involved in this opportunity.When no opportunity is selected you can leave the partner field blank.

  • Java.lang.NullPointerException at oracle.xml.xsql.XSQLHttpUtil.HttpRequestAsXMLDocume

    Hello Everyone,
    I get the following error in the <request> element of my XML result from any XSQL page. This always occurs when the page is linked from a JSP page using a simple hyperlink, accessed with <jsp:forward> or accessed with <jsp:include>. This occurs both when I include a request parameter and when I don't.
    If I access the XSQL page directly through its URL in my browser or as a link from a regular HTML page this does not occur.
    However, once I link or include to the XSQL page and get the error I continue to get it until I stop and restart the server.

    Please refer to Oracle bug 3973353 in Metalink. The solution is as following:
    - extract BC4JRequestProcessor.java from \BC4J\src\bc4jstrutssrc.zip
    - copy BC4JRequestProcessor.java to ...\project\src\oracle\jbo\html\struts11\BC4JRequestProcessor.java
    - comment the following lines (lines 347 to 351):
    // Overide only if the action mapping is a BC4JActionMapping.
    // ActionMapping mapping = (ActionMapping)
    // request.getAttribute(Globals.MAPPING_KEY);

  • Microsoft Access report to pdf-hyperlinks don't work

    Hi,
    Does anyone have a solution to hyperlinks not working when a Microsoft Access report is converted to a pdf?  The hyperlinks work when I am in the Access report, but once I convert to a pdf (Acrobat 9), the links don' t work.
    Thanks,
    Jamie

    How did you convert? In looking at the PDF Maker options for AA8 in ACCESS 2007, there does not seem to be a link button in the preferences. That may the issue and I do not have a solution for that.

  • Microsoft Access forms to pdf with hyperlinks?

    Help needed.
    I can convert Microsoft Word files to PDF and preserve hyperlinks.
    I wrote a new application for our parts department using Microsoft Access.
    When I PDF a form with a particular part displayed, it does not preserve the hyperlinks.
    Now I am in trouble because we need this feature for the engineers to be able to access supporting information about each part (data sheets etc.)
    Since the engineers are used to the "Microsoft Word" earlier version they are not amenable in going "backwards" with the "new" system and not having active hyperlinks to the support documents.
    I have searched everywhere for a solution and so far found nothing that works.
    I am using Acrobat PRO X and Microsoft Access PRO 2010
    please help as my "neck" is on the line...
    thanks
    Richard

    In Access try File->Save as PDF.
    If it's anything like in Word, the Save as PDF function does it a different way (ie. not via Postscript) compared to Acrobat. So you might get a result that way.

  • Accessing Specific PDF page in a hyperlink within CHM

    I have built a CHM in RoboHelp 9 and am trying to make a hyperlink that will take the reader directly to an included PDF page number, that starts a section in this PDF of about 3 pages.

    Having multiple images in a tiff file is probably not the best practice. THe image object meta data might not make much sense (width, height, format...).
    But....
    For 8.1.7, there is no way to do it from PL/SQL. You could do it outside the database in a servlet.
    For 9i, there is an undocumented interface to allow for access to tiff images other than the first image that is being considered for documentation with 10i.

  • Hyperlinks don't work in Visio Web Access

    Hi guys,
    I need a little help here. I'm using Visio Web Access (Sharepoint 2010). My shapes have 1 hyperlink each. When I publish these files, sometimes it's possible to simple click on the shape to go to the hyperlink, but sometimes it doesn't work at all.
    Can anybody help me, please?
    Thanks in advance!
    Ju Yoko

    Hi,
    I have a test with Firefox, the hyperlink behind the shape doesn’t work as expected. You can try this workaround:
    Edit the page in Firefox and Edit the Visio Web Access web part.
    Check ‘Disable Hyperlink’ under ‘Web Drawing Interactivity’ tab.
    Then save the changes.
    Edit the web part again to uncheck ‘Disable Hyperlink’. Save the changes.Now the hyperliks will work.
    I have a test with Firefox and IE9 and this workaround works. I don’t have Google Chrome installed, you can have a test.

  • Microsoft Access Reports to PDF - preserving hyperlinks

    Can someone help me figure out how to preserve hyperlinks from an Access report? I've built an application that stores project information along with embedded hyperlinks to source files on our shared server. Although I've been successful with preserving links in Word documents when converting to PDF, when I try to print or convert from the Access report, the links are no longer active in the PDF (although they show up as the familiar blue hyperlink text.)
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Generally you would use the create PDF icon (what is called PDF Maker) on the toolbar. You can set the properties in the Acrobat (or Adobe PDF, depending on versions) menu on the Access menu bar. PDF Maker allows for adding links and such to the PDF. If you print to the Adobe PDF printer, you will simply get something that looks identical, but will have no bookmarks, links, or related items. Basically PDF Maker is a preprocessor for the printer that adds PDF Marks that are required for creating the links from ACCESS. Otherwise, the links that you see in the PDF are the best guess of Acrobat or Reader when it sees what appears to be a URL.

  • Hyperlinks Truncating on Export from Access 2007

    I have a report in Access 2007 that includes a memo field in RTF format.  Quite often part of the text in this field will include one or more hyperlinks.  The hyperlinks work fine in Access.
    I export this report to .pdf using the following line of VBA code, attached to a button on a form:
    DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, stDocName, acFormatPDF, vrtSelectedItem & "\" & title & ".pdf"
    This code works fine, and the report is exported to the selected location properly.  And if the hyperlink text all fits on one line in the .pdf file, then the link works correctly there, too.
    The problem is when the hyperlink text ends up being wrapped around to a 2nd line or more.  The entire link still LOOKS like a link in the .pdf file (it's still blue/underlined), but only the first line is actually a hyperlink.
    For example, if the link text were:
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/
    acrobat/post!input.jspa?containterType=14
    ...then the only part that would actually be a hyperlink in the .pdf document would be "http://forums.adobe.com/community/" and the 2nd line of the link is lost.
    We have thousands of these hyperlinks all throughout our data, and many of them are more than one line long.  It is not feasible for us to shorten all of them using bit.ly.  Nor is it feasible for us to make our users copy and paste the broken links from the .pdf's into their browsers.
    So, does anyone know how to fix this so that the hyperlinks we pass to .pdf from Access remain complete hyperlinks, even if they are more than one line long?

    Finally figured out the solution myself, after 2 days.  It's surprisingly simple.
    If the URL is surrounded by double quotes in the data, then it works as a complete link when exported to .pdf, even if the link wraps to a 2nd line or more.  The quotes show up in the .pdf, too, but that's a small price to pay to have working links.

  • Open access pdf disabled the hyperlinks :(

  • Visio Web Access - hyperlinks in Visio drawings always open in new tab

    Hi,
    One of our users has developed a large collection of Visio drawings that describe the business process.  When he clicks on a box in one Visio drawing, it will open the next Visio drawing (using a Hyperlink on that shape).
    When he uploads these documents onto SharePoint 2013 and uses the standard Visio Web Access application (full-screen, not a web part - so he just opens the Visio drawing), the hyperlinks work perfectly - except, they always open in a new browser tab.
    Is there any way to force the shape hyperlinks to open in the same tab when using Visio Web Access?

    Hi  sidasta,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the hyperlink of 
    Visio document  opens with new tab.
    It is by default that SharePoint 2013 Visio Service deals with 
    the hyperlink of Visio document. There is no approach that Microsoft Visio keep the same location when it follows a hyperlink to open a Web page.
    here is a similar post, you can take a look at:

  • Hyperlink address get truncated when creating a pdf from MS Access.

    I have a MS Access 2002 Report that I need to export to a pdf.  I have several text boxes, and several hyperlink boxes.  The hyperlinks show up in the pdf, however, when I click on the link, Acrobat only recognizes the first line of the address and the links don't work.
    For example here is a sample hyperlink address notice that it wraps around in the box:
    http://forms.adobe.com/
    post/input_etc
    When I click on the link, Internet Explorer opens and tries to go to http://forms.adobe.com/  However, since the entire address isn't on the same line, IE can't open the link.
    I need to create ongoing pdfs from the database and can't spend the time fixing this issue each time.
    I had Acrobat Pro 8, and have upgraded to Pro 9, but the problem persists.

    I think that export is a MS solution. Do you have an Adobe icon or Create PDF menu on your Access? In Access 2007, it will show up as an Acrobat menu. This is the process you use to create a PDF with PDF Maker. I see no Export in Access 2007.

  • Hyperlink Control in Access 2013 WebApp

    Hi,
    Is there anyway to set a Hyperlink Control to a disabled state but still allow the user to launch the link?
    There is no enabled check box on the formatting charm, but the enabled property can be set at Run time, for instance OnLoad for the form. But the problem with doing this is, when a user clicks the link, nothing happens, the browser window does not open and
    go to the URL.
    If I leave the control enabled, then a user can accidently change the hyperlink value, which is not a good thing in this instance.
    Another possible solution to this quandary is if I could set the underlying field, from a query to Read Only ... but can't seem to find a way to do that sort of thing either.

    Hi Jessevg,
    According to the description, you want to make the hyperlink not change-able.
    >>Another possible solution to this quandary is if I could set the underlying field, from a query to Read Only ... but can't seem to find a way to do that sort of thing either<<
    If I understood correctly, to insert a unbound hyperlink control is a good choose. However, I am not able to understand the issue you were handing. As far as I know, we can remove the control source to make the control unbound.
    Also if you want to Access to support the disable chaning feature for the hyperlink control, you can also submit the feedback from the top right ornner of Access like figure below:
