Hyperlinks in FrameMaker 8 File don't work consistently when PDF'd

I have a FrameMaker 8 file with internal hyperlinks. When I test them in FrameMaker they work but when I PDF the file SOME of them are not working. I'm using Acrobat 8 as well.

This thread may be dead already, but I'll chime in anyway....
Kelly (response #5) touches on something that I think is important:  character style changes in a heading or other paragraph style (such as table title) can cause the link to end at the point where the character style changes.
For example, consider a heading containing italics:  "Configuring the Merlin System."  Whether the hyperlink is broken depends on how you apply the italics:
If the italics are applied using a named style such as Emphasis, the hyperlink breaks at the "M."  "Configuring the" is hyperlinked, but "Merlin System" is not.
If the italics are applied without assigning a character style but only by setting Angle to Italics in the Character Designer, the entire heading is hyperlinked.  That's the good news.  The bad news is that your italics are missing in the TOC.
This behavior is not necessarily buggy.  It is required, in fact, for creating hyperlinks manually:  you mark your text with a named character style and then create a "hyperlink" marker in it.  What would be nice is if Adobe would separate the feature into two flavors:  one that works for generated links regardless of character style, and one that works in its current form for user-created links.
Fixing bad links:
If you have Adobe Acrobat Professional, use Tools > Advanced Editing > Link Tool.  It draws a box around each link.  Drag the box handles to resize a link around the proper area.

    I received a notice from Chris Campbell at Adobe that stated : "....we are aware that Macs created between 2006 and 2008 are currently running into problems using the latest release of Flash Player (version 13)."  My question is will the update of Adobe Reader 11.0.07 cause this problem with Flash Player 13 on my Mac?  Sometimes when I try to view streaming video I get sound but no video.

  • Audio files don't work in FCE

    I have clips that I want to use in Final Cut Express that have audio in 48 KHz, 16-bit integer mode.
    The FCE manual says "16-bit audio: For video capture and output, 16-bit audio is almost always used"
    When I import the clips into FCE and place them in my sequence, I get the dreaded red line over the audio, and I can't seem to "render," so essentially, my clips have no sound.
    The default audio settings for my sequence are 48 KHz, 32-bit floating point, about which the FCE manual says "Final Cut Express HD mixes the audio in your program internally at 32-bit, floating-point resolution even if your source audio is 16-bit. The result is that all audio calculations are made with higher precision, maximizing the quality of your program’s audio."
    But since my audio files don't work in FCE, something is not right, and I don't know how to change it. The only way to change sequence settings is to load presets, none of which give me contol over the audio settings at this level. How do I get my audio files to work?
    Thanks,
    Rebecca

    Ok, so I opened up one of the orignal clips in QT, and clicked on "Export -> Quicktime movie." Under settings, I made sure the compression was DV/DVCPRO NTSC, and the audio was set to 48 KHz, 32-bit floating point. And exported. And then imported the clip into FCE, and it worked! (Even my teacher in my Final Cut class couldn't answer this one for me).
    Question is, if all cameras record at 16-bit interger (as the FCE manual says) and FCE requires 32-bit floating point (as it seems to), why doesn't it do the conversion automatically (as the manual suggests, but does seem to actually do)? I guess I don't really need this question answered, since I now have a fix, but I still need to use QT to convert every clip before I can use them in FCE, which is still a pain.
    Thanks,

  • Hyperlinks to local files no longer work

    Hyperlinks to local files no longer work in Adobe Reader 11.0.1, but they did prior to the update.  We have verified this on multiple machines.
    We create a document in Word, add multiple relative links to other files on our local computer, and save as a PDF.  The links worked in previous versions, but no longer work in 11.0.1.  Does anyone else have this problem?
    Links to external websites still work, it's only the links to other local files.  We also tried opening the same file in Foxit Reader, and the links worked just fine.  Only appears to happen in Adobe Reader 11.0.1.
    This is a real pain in the ___!

    Hi efrancen,
    What exactly happens when you click on the hyperlink. Does it give a message that target was not foud. Can you share the PDF or this taget hyperlink.

    In iWeb I created a hyperlink to a file on my computer. When I publish I get a 404 error for the link.  Can anyone help?

    How would I check to see if the like works when I enable via the inspector pane
    If you enable hyperlinks when you click on the link link to the pdf file it will open a browser window and display the pdf file.
    I upload the pdf files to the server and link to them as if they were an external web page:
    That's been more reliable for me than linking to the file as Link To: A file and have iWeb upload the pdf file to the serve.

  • The only time the sound/speaker and mic don't work is when I answer or make a call

    The only time the sound/speaker and mic don't work is when I answer or make a call. They both work fine for everything else. This has been going on for over a month. AT&T said it's Apple and Apple said it's AT&T. I've been around that cycle twice. 
    When I dial a call, I can see the status words on the screen but can't hear the ringing. If the person I'm calling answers, my screen will show the call was connected and the call timer will begin but I can't hear anything and they can't hear me. If one of us doesn't end the call, the timer keeps going and I'm being 'charged' for dead air. (Of course, one of us disconnects so mins/cost isn't an issue, I'm just adding the info in case it helps solve the problem.) If they don't answer, the call will go to their greeting but I can't hear it and wouldn't be able to leave a message anyway because my voice isn't going through. However, they will get a voice mail alert and see that I called but no message was recorded.
    If some one tries to call me they will hear ringing but when I answer, they can't hear me and I can't hear them. If I don't answer, they will hear my greeting and can leave a message. I can retrieve and hear my voice mail. Trying speaker phone and headsets didn't change anything for calls out nor for calls in. 
    I have 4.3.3 and have synched, reset, rebooted, turned things on and off and off and on and took the SIM card out of the phone and out of it's tray and put it back in. I've done all that several times in just about every combination and order possible. 
    Hopefully the following will provide good clues:  On only about three of the many attempts I've made to get it to work correctly that included taking out the SIM card, I could make and/or get one or two calls with no trouble but then the problem comes back. Also, when I swapped the SIM card with another iPhone4 on my plan, the other phone would work with my SIM card but my phone still would not work with the other SIM card. The last fact makes me think it is an Apple issue. I'll go to an Apple store (genius) this weekend. Will I be wasting my time and gas? Anybody have any experience with this problem?

    Let me try and address some of your questions.  I'm only on a pc, so a few of these answers might be slightly different on a Mac, but not too different (such as control click rather than right click).
    First, when you buy something on your phone, be it apps or music, it's transferred from your phone to your Mac when you sync your phone.  So those apps should now be in you iTunes library. ( IF for some reason you can't find them there, you should be able to download them again, either onto your phone or through iTunes.  On your phone, go to the App Store > Updates and you'll see a "Purchased" link at the top of the page, you can view all purchased apps here and redownload them.  In iTunes, you can go to Store > Check for available downloads. )
    Whenever you plug your phone in, it should create a backup of everything you have on the phone.  This is how, provided restoring your phone as a new device doesn't fix the issue (more on this later), you can put all of your music and apps onto the new phone.  You can always plug your phone into your Mac and the first thing it should do when it syncs is create a backup.   If you want to be sure, you can right click on your device in iTunes (on a pc) or I assume control click on a Mac and select "backup".
    The genius will take care of the sim card and setting up your phone, however you will have to put all of your music and apps on it, unless you ask the genius, I've never bothered since I know how to do this.
    You should have no problems restoring from a backup if they give you a new phone.  However, it's probably safest to try and create a backup of your last phone backup before you restore it as a new device.   I suggest you refer to http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414 for more information about that.
    I've had no problems with my new phone so far.
    I'll try to keep checking this thread if you have any other questions or need more clarification.
    Edit: I should say we never did figure out what exactly was wrong with my phone.  The only thing I can think of was that it got a lot hotter than the phone it replaced, and also the phone I just got yesterday to replace the malfunctioning one.  But otherwise they saw no problems with the hardware, but acknowledged it must have been the hardware since we tried everything else.  Also I would go with a list of all the things you tried with this phone, for your own reference and the genius's, especially if you're not confident in your tech skills Showing the genius that you've tried: different sim cards, updating the software, restoring it from a backup, and now restoring it as a new device, should convince them that you've done everything you could, and the only other answer is hardware problem.
    Also if you don't already have one, make a genius appointment ASAP.  Most stores are very busy and their appointments fill up fast.  I always suggest making an appointment as early as possible, hopefully before the retail store hours when they've only got techs there because they usually are less stressed and have a bit more time to spend with you.  The easiest way to make an appointment is to download the Apple Store app.  It detects the closest Apple store from you and makes it quite easy to schedule a genius.

  • Hyperlinks that I create in InDesign CS3 don't work in the PDF

    I've created several hyperlinks in an InDesign CS3 file, using the Hyperlinks panel. But when I export to PDF format, the hyperlinks don't work. Even the ones that start with http:// or www. don't work. Is that just the way it is? Or am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks,
    Ellen

    Is there a button? I don't see anything saying "Hyperlinks" in the Export dialog box. I've attached an image of what I'm seeing.
    Thanks

  • 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

  • Hyperlinks to folder locations don't work

    Hello,
    I'm having trouble creating functioning hyperlinks to folder locations on local or network drives. I've tried this both in InDesign CS3 and InDesign CS1 on Windows XP.
    I select the text, create new hyperlink, choose 'URL' as Type, then paste the filepath into the URL box (e.g. D:\). If my text tool is within the hyperlink text of the InDesign document, then I click on 'Go to hyperlink destination', it will open a new Windows Explorer window with the correct destination. If I export to PDF, however (making sure to check 'Bookmarks' and 'Hyperlinks' to be included), these hyperlinks to local or network drives don't work. I get errors like 'Cannot find 'd:%5C'. Make sure the path or Internet address is correct'.
    The other hyperlinks to web addresses seem to work fine. Does anybody have ideas on this?

    I should have read that more closely.
    It doesn't seem to apply. The only reason that would matter is if you were running the SWF-output from Captivate locally.
    ALWAYS test your product from the web to avoid any such security issues.
    But yes, if you're putting the published file on a local/network drive, then that security change will need to be applied and, yes, for every computer that accesses the file.
    You definitely want to distribute from an HTTP location.
    I did hope the first part of that article would help. They're not difficult to setup once you find the option. Just highlight some text and right-click to setup the hyperlink...right?

  • Hyperlinks from Outlook 2010 don't work anymore (Firefox is my default browser)

    Since I installed IE 9 I can't use Hyperlinks in Outlook anylonger (Firefox remains my default browser!). I tried already
    a) set IE 9 default (Hyperlinks works) and switch back to Firefox (Error message and Hyperlinks don't work)
    b) "Start" + R with any link doesn't work either c) delete in the registry HKCU\SOFTWARE\Classes\FirefoxURL\ & HKCU\SOFTWARE\Classes\FirefoxHTML\
    c) Updated Firefox to Version 4 and things are even worse (Firefox crashes now)
    But nothing works, can someone help me?

    Is it using yahoo as its search engine, or switching to yahoo's browser. If it is using yahoo as its search engine, you can change that in settings>options>search and at the top it will show you a button that you can click to choose your default search engine.
    Have a great day!!

  • Hotspots created in Framemaker 11 don't work when generating the PDF

    I'm trying to create several hotpots on an image that go to specific locations in a table. I have no problem creating them in Framemaker 11 and the links work fine when I test them using CTL+ALT and the mouse pointer. When I generate the PDF, however, the images has no hotspots and when I click on the image, nothing happens.
    Some other information:
    I'm using Framemaker 11 on Windows 8.
    The image was originally a .png, but I tried it with other image formats and still the same result.
    Is there a setting I need to change when I generate the PDF?

    I primarily use Save As PDF, and I'm not having problems with any of my other links.  I tried printing to the AdobePDF printer, but I get the following error: When you create a PostScript file you must rely on system fonts and use document fonts. Please go to the printer properties, "Adobe PDF Settings" page and turn OFF the option "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts.
    I unselected this option, but I'm still getting this error message. Perhaps I need to close Framemaker and open it again? I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the PDF not being able to generate hotspots, though.

    Hi, I've written a swing program that works fine when run from command prompt but it doesn't work when I create a self executable jar file and run it.

    The error is occuring because the jar ignores the system classpath.
    You need to set your classpath in the manifest file to find the external jars.
    Otherwise the external jars will not be found.
    In your case class javax/mail/MessagingException
    For example:
    Manifest-Version: 1.0
    Created-By: 1.4.2_05 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
    Main-Class: TheGMailClient
    Class-Path: . jars/mail.jar jars/activation.jar
    The path will need to be correct in the above related to your system.
    Also because you mention a gif image.
    You will need to add the image to the jar - you haven't.
    make sure you are loading the GIF image file in a manner that can be used from a jar.
    Image image = null;
    try {
      image = ImageIO.read(getCkass().getResource("logo.gif"));
    catch {
      // what ever
    }You may need a relative path to the image in the jar depending on where the gif is.
    For example image = ImageIO.read(getCkass().getResource("images/test.gif"));

  • Fonts don't work correctly when opening illustrator 5 eps in illustrator 6

    When I open an eps file in illustrator 6, which I received from our graphic designer (who is using 5), the fonts don't work correctly. We have purchased VistaSans and when I try to open file, it says fonts not found so they have been substituted, but when I open illustrator, the fonts are there. When I try to change text from VistaSansReg to VistaSansSCBold the bold doesn't apper in illustrator or when saving to PDF - however, when you click the changed text in illustrator, it does show the bold font has been selected.

    HI,
    It is an open type font so should work, but it looks like the problem is that it hasn't installed correctly in Illustrator. I am using Windows 7 so right-clicked fonts and clicked install. Fonts appear in fonts area of control panel and install in disabled when font is viewed.  they work correctly in other apps, such as Word
    When I vew the VistaSans fonts (in existing file) in Illustrator, they appear in the fonts drop-down, but have an asterisk beside them (i.e. not installed) so how do I get them to install correctly in Illustrator? Font isn't appearing in Photoshop either.
