Hyperlinks don't stay interactive

Am using InDesign 6.  Trying to create interactive pictorial Table of Contents and cannot and have set up text hyperlinks to the items in the TOC and text anchor/destination hyperlinks to the location within the document.   I set up all the hyperlinks - but then needed to make edits to several items.
Now none of the edited hyperlinks work when the document is pdf'ed (as interactive .pdf). I have tried cutting and pasting text boxes, re-typing text boxes and even copything all the text boxes from a different document into my current document. When I click on  new text box to create the link - the "New Hyperlink" option is greyed out. Any ideas??? Thank you

Hyperlinks inside an ID document are based on text anchors or cross references. When placing text anchors, then putting a hyperlink to it and then editing the text position of the text anchor again can make you accidentally erase the text anchor and thus break the hyperlink. So it seems by "needed to make edits to several items" you either altered or deleted the hyperlink target.
The hyperlink pane tells you which hyperlinks are broken.

  • 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!

    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.
    Thanks,

  • Hyperlinks don't work in Preview

    I created a PDF file from a PowerPoint presentation using Mac OS X. My PDF file has hyperlinks in it that work fine when viewed in Acrobat Reader. But I'm unable to get any of the hyperlinks to work when viewing the file with the built in program "Preview" that is part of the Mac OS X operating system.
    There are plenty of PDF files on the Internet with hyperlinks that work in both Apple Preview and Acrobat Reader. But the PDF files I create using Mac OS X, don't seem to function properly in Preview.
    Any suggestions?

    I found this bit of information here ( http://www.cs.wright.edu/~jslater/mac-tex/mac-tex-intro/mactexintro.html):
    Adobe Reader (I wouldn’t)
    Adobe Acrobat (Not this either)
    Preview (Maybe better)
    Skim (Awesome, my pick)
    TEXShop - Works well as a viewer-only with extra tools
    iTEXMac - Also works well as a viewer-only with extra tools
    OzTEX (if not using PDFLaTEX)
    CMacTEX(if not using PDFLaTEX)
    MacDVIX (if not using PDFLaTEX)
    If PDFTEX is used, any PDF(R) viewer can be used, but hyperlinks don’t work in viewers using Apple’s(R) PDF code (e.g. Preview, iTEXMac, TEXShop, Skim...), so you may want to have Adobe Reader(R) or Acrobat installed to test your hyperlinks.

  • I sometimes have blue and red square-shaped dots appear on my MBP; especially but not exclusively when I'm watching videos.  The dots don't stay in the same place; and also they are not there all the time.

    I sometimes have blue and red square-shaped dots appear on my MBP; especially but not exclusively when I'm watching videos.  The dots don't stay in the same place; and also they are not there all the time.  Also, sometimes my animations (applications opening, windows being dragged, etc.) will glitch as well.  Again, this is not a continual thing; it just happens variously throughout my day.  MBP Model A1212, OS X 10.6.8, 2.33 Ghz 3GB RAM.

    Did the original songs that do not appear on the car player play in the Music app on the iPod? Sometimes glitches happen and they do not. Also, If y ohave a 5G iPod/iOS 7, purchase songs  will show with an cloud icon by them if they are not downloaded if Shall All is turned on in Settings>iTunes and App Store

  • Lyrics-What's Up?  They don't stay in itunes Can't view on iPod?

    So what gives?
    I've put lyrics in for several whole albums and they don't stay. Then The ipod says it knows there are lyrics but can't display them.
    I read the IPOD PDF and it doesn't supply any help.
    Any suggestions?
    I put lyrics in a file and selected all and set all to Times font.
    Cheers,
    Ramona
    Running current itunes and ipod OS.

    Yeah they are AIFF files for sure.
    So I did the deal you suggested for a playlist that was in mp3 format. It had the option to convert the tags. I converted the tags to 2.3 and input the lyrics and synced. *Works fine. But only for mp3 files.* Not for the AIFF files at all.
    The message the ipod says when I try to view lyrics of AIFF files is...
    *_"lyrics detected, but unable to retrieve"_*
    Further more itunes does not store lyrics properly for AIFF files. They disappear randomly.
    I viewed the playlist with the lyrics that was in MP3 and that is just so darn cool...I wish it worked with the AIFF files. I'll get around to making 2 playlists of the same album but one in mp3 and then one in AIFF and see how they sound on my various music players.
    I just didn't want to diddle around converting even part of my 70g library on the lappie to mp3. Blech!
    I don't have much patience for things that don't make sense... And this doesn't make sense to me...that the lyrics are only viewable on the ipod if the music format is in MP3.
    I'll try and report back soon if my Epistemology homework doesn't eat my brain out first. Thanks for the help!

  • After adjusting the levels in a file the changes don't stay. How do I fix this?

    Hello helpful people,
    I'm running Photoshop CS5 on an iMac. I started with a scanned tiff that was emailed to me, a black on white ink drawing. I changed it from a tiff to a greyscale image and saved as psd, then converted it to RBG 8bit. When I open the psd file I see that it's in RBG 8 bit and there's no asterisk (*) by the file name, so my work space and file are compatible. I tried to adjust the layers to dull the black lines in the drawing, and although I can see the changes in preview, the corrections don't stay and the image reverts back to the original bold, black lines. I decided to change my background layer to a regular layer and make the edits there. However, when I change my background layer by unlocking it and changing the name, I notice that my file suddenly has an asterisk (*) after the name and my same attempts to change the levels aren't working. I'm not entirely sure if it's a compatibility issue with the work space, a file extension issue (psd), or something all together unknown to me. Any direction on how to adjust the levels so that my changes stay would be much appreciated - and furthermore, any advice on how to keep my files and work space in sync would also be helpful. Thank you. If it helps to know, I'm in painting mode within photoshop, which isn't my regular setting, but I thought it would help since I want to add color to this black an white drawing.
    Sincerely,
    LauraMay

  • Hyperlinks Don't Work in Preview/Publish Mode - Correct in Design View

    I am having trouble with hyperlinks. I've deleted existing hyperlinks, then copied and pasted addresses back in but it is still not working. Any idea why this is happening.
    www.ronbrendle.com/reviews.html
    To the right of each album the links for amazon, itunes and cdbaby do not work. They DO work for the Bunky Moon album but I cannot discern any difference.  In Muse design view, the hyperlink addresses are correct when I select the amazon, itunes or cdbaby element.
    Also - when I copy a page URL from this site - it pastes the title tag. For example:
    www.ronbrendle.com/reviews.html becomes "Brendle is a monster bassist." JazzTimes
    Please help if you can.
    Thank you,
    Deanna

  • Hyperlinks don't work in swf produced by CS5 InDesign

    Created file with CS5 InDesign. Everything except hyperlinks works. Buttons work. Timing works. Layers work. Hyperlinks don't.
    The file is still on my hard drive. Pointer changes to indicate when over link. Clicking produces no effect.

    I also have this problem. It's an InDesign CS5 multi paged document that I have exported to Flash. The links are to other web pages.
    I don't think the answer about security settings is the whole story as I've created a pdf from the same document and the links work from there. The links also work when I test them in the InDesign hyperlinks palette. They just do nothing when exported to SWF. In fact the relevant button is disabled also (rollover doesn't work).
    If this can't happen it makes the whole InDesign to SWF thing a bit of a dud!
    Anyone got anyclues?
    Thanks, Tiara5

  • Hyperlinks don't work in fillable pdf forms

    I have a question for you folks and am hoping you can help me.  I am using Adobe Acrobat X Professional.  I want to create "fillable" pdf forms which include hyperlinks.  When I create a pdf form and "Save as" a "Reader extended PDF" and "Enable additional features" the hyperlinks don't work.  I save the document this way in order to produce a fill-in pdf document.  However, if I save the document as a regular pdf (i.e., not reader extended/non-fillable pdf form) then the hyperlinks work.  Any ideas how I can get the hyperlinks to work in a fillable pdf form?  Thanks!
    Chris Quarto

    Hi Michael:
    I'm sorry...I wish I knew what "autorecognized links" were.  :  (  As I mentioned in my reply to David, I created the hyperlinks in Microsoft Word before I converted the Word document to a pdf. 
    I have resolved the problem and posted my step-by-step solution a few days ago, but for some reason I don't see it in this forum.  It kind of goes like this...to get hyperlinks to work with fillable pdf's:
    1. Create Microsoft Word document and save when done.
    2. While in Word, click on "Acrobat" on menu bar (assuming you have installed Adobe Acrobat X Pro on your computer) and "Create pdf;" confirm that hyperlinks work and close document.
    3. Open pdf document with Acrobat Pro and selected "Create pdf form."
    4. Edit the "fillable" parts of the document (e.g., make all fields/text boxes 10 pt. font size...I wish there was a way of setting the default so you wouldn't have to manually do this for each field/box, but haven't figured out how to do that one yet).
    5. Close form editing.
    6. Select File --> Save as --> Reader extended pdf --> Enable additional features.
    7. Save file
    8. Close file and re-open to verify that hyperlinks and fields work/are fillable.
    That's my solution.  There's probably an easier way to do this, but it works.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Saved Pages document as PDF. Now hyperlinks don't work

    After saving my newsletter in Pages 09 as a PDF (Print>Compress as PDF) some embedded hyperlinks don't work. Strangely enough, the links to an e-mail DO work, but links to a URL DO NOT. Why is this and what do I do to overcome this problem?

    That's a fairly long thread I linked to. Did you get all the way down to this post with a screenshot? I see that others had the same problem you do & it took them a couple of tries to get it working. I would be nice to be able to see what you're doing (or not doing), but we have to make do with words & screenshots.

  • Hyperlink don't work with "download a document"

    I use iWeb 2006. My web site <www.xicro.it> have a link with a document to download. This kind of hyperlink don't work on line, but it work when you check the site in local host.
    Do you have any answer or any other experiences concerning this problem?
    Thank

    Hi,
    You can put the file which you want people to be able to download in a zip. Then put a link on your website to that zip file (normal link) and as soon as you click on the link the zip will download.
    In your case that would be xoomer.alice.it/xicro/F537BB88-A61B-11DB-9BB2-000393D45032/xxxxxxxxx.zip
    Tanti saluti, benvenuto nel forum di 'Apple support' e spero che funzioni,

  • Hyperlinks don't work, please help!! :(

    Hi all,
    I've created a new website and I would just like to know why my hyperlinks don't work? The facebook link used to, but ever since I posted the text under the menu icons in the middle of the site and then publish it won't activate any of them! This is really frustrating so I'm really hoping someone has an easy solution to this...
    My URL is www.nurburgringnow.co.uk
    Thanks,
    Will

    It looks to me as though you have made your navigation menu using images places without a shape?
    If so, what he is saying is that this shape has got into your footer and is covering everything else and the whole page, which is why your links will not work. If your links are covered by anything, then they won't work.
    In iWeb select show all so you can see where things are on your site. Shorten your footer area and I would suggest that you remove the shape and then place it in the body of your site. To get your links to work you need to ensure that you send the shape to the back.

  • Flashpaper hyperlink don't work

    Hi:
    I convert word document to flashpaper 2 but the hyperlinks
    don't work

    Did you ever resolve this?  We're experiencing the same problem.  Perhaps FlashPaper doesn't convert links?  Would appreciate any advice.  Thanks.
