Hyperlinks in PDF, WORD, PPT not working in Safari on iPad

We have an intranet we are serving up for use on the iPad. The links to other documents in PDF, WORD, PPT work on my pc and laptop but not in the iPad. I have looked to see of there is a setting but the only thing I found was to allow pop ups which our site uses but not luck. The links are blue and appear they should work but don't. Any one else have this problem and how did you correct it?

We have a similar problem with links inside PDFs not working, but worse, our links are all relative, ie, only file names. This means that if you DO have an app that makes the links work, but which is not viewing it in the browser, the links will try to open the file, but it won't find it, since it won't have the full domain info.
I realize our users could put the full into on the links, but we chose to do it this way for the ease of preparation--we have hundreds of these files every month and there's no quick, easy or automatic way for the preparers to add the full domain info at creation time--it's 100% manual, even with copy/paste. It all works fine in IE on a PC, which is the overwhelming bulk of our viewers, so until recently when several board members got iPad2s, there was no compelling reason to make any changes. It wasn't broke

Hyperlinks in PDF preview do not work

Hyperlinks in the preview PDF files that people first see when they click a Send link do not work. Can this possibly be fixed? Some users may not want to go through the hassle of downloading the document and want to be able to use the full document from the preview screen.

You have to create one or more Character Styles to populate that menu.
Format some text the way you want your hyperlinks to look, (color, underline, etc.). With your newly formatted text selected, go to the Character Styles panel (if it's not visible, press Shift+F11), and choose New Character Style from the panel menu. Give it a name like "hyperlink" and click OK.
Now, when you create or edit hyperlinked text, your Character Styles menu will include the character style you created, in addition to [None].

Search on PDF/Word doc not working in 8.1.7.1B

I have just finished the grueling process of
upgrading to 8.1.7.1B, and now indexing of PDF and Word documents no longer appears to
work. This was working in my installation
previously. We are not specifying the INSO
filter, but this wasn't necessary before. Did any defaults change?

The index create:
create index ebt_cm_node_blob_idx on ebt_cm_node_lob(binary_content) indextype is ctxsys.context parameters ('storage ebt_cmstore')
The ebt_cmstore pref definition:begin
ctx_ddl.create_preference('ebt_cmstore', 'BASIC_STORAGE');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('ebt_cmstore', 'I_TABLE_CLAUSE',
'tablespace entrepid_ctx_idx storage (initial 40K)');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('ebt_cmstore', 'K_TABLE_CLAUSE',
'tablespace entrepid_ctx_idx storage (initial 40K)');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('ebt_cmstore', 'R_TABLE_CLAUSE',
'tablespace entrepid_ctx_idx storage (initial 40K)');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('ebt_cmstore', 'N_TABLE_CLAUSE',

ctx_ddl.set_attribute('ebt_cmstore', 'I_INDEX_CLAUSE',
'tablespace entrepid_ctx_idx storage (initial 40K)');
end;
The Word doc is Work 2000. The PDF version
is 1.2.

YouTube Videos not working in Safari on iPad 2

When I use YouTube in Safari on my iPad 2, I noticed that the official music videos are not working in YouTube. I get an error message which states "Video cannot be played on mobile." Below is a link to the all time most watched videos. Not music videos (Video # 5) play fine on my iPad but the official music videos (Videos 1 - 4) do not.
http://www.youtube.com/charts/videos_views?t=a
Thanks

These videos are restricted and can not be played on a mobile device... These videos have come up before in this forum. The record companies have placed a flag on these video so they can't be played on a mobile device. If you look at the URL for the video you will notice it is a mobile web page... http://m.YouTube...
Anyone can place this flag in their video on YouTube. The flag can be set in the settings/edit for each video.
If you have flash on your mobile device and don't go to the mobile web page you can play the video.

PDF Tool Bar Not Working in Safari

Hi all:
I'm running Safari 5.1.3, Lion 10.7.3 on an iMac.
About a month ago (prior to upgrading to the latest OS yesterday), I noticed that on certain web sites, I am unable to save PDFs after they open up in a new Safari browser window.
This happens most often at Chase Bank.
On almost every other site, when I click on a PDF link, it opens in a new windown, and then if I hover my cursor at the bottom, a pop-up tool bar appears that allows me to save the PDF, which I can then view in Preview.
Unfortunately, this feature doesn't seem to work with Chase Bank anymore.
Is it a problem on their end?
Are there any known solutions?
(I really enjoy having a clean machine, and don't want to install any third-party plug-ins like Adobe Acrobat.)
Thanks for any help.

It looks to be an issue (one of many) with Chase's website.
Their site opens up statement documents in some sort specialized window that prevents the normal PDF view from initiating.
You can confirm this by choosing File >> Save As... from the Safari menus. You'll see that Safari wants you to save it as a "web archive" which means it is not detecting it as a PDF.
But there is an easy workaround:
If you right-click on the document when it appears, you can choose to open the PDF in a new window/tab, which will bring up the usual PDF controls, or you can choose to save the PDF directly to your Mac.

Hyperlink with tracking applied does not work in PDF

We use lots of web addresses in our advertising and generally the web addresses automatically convert to hyperlinks when we distill the files and make PDFs. Recently we've had two instances where someone applied tracking or justification to the line of text containing the url to make it spread across the page. When we make our PDF the url is not clickable. Is there anyway around this? We tried actually creating a hyperlink manually in InDesign by using the Hyperlinks panel and entering the address, but that didn't work either.

Peter,
We'll look into that. We already do two separate PDFs for print and web, but
we are distilling both right now. Wouldn't be too much of a problem to
change to exporting the web version I don't think.
I did a test, just curious, is there a way to keep it from putting a black
box around the link on the PDF?
Thanks for your help! We appreciate it!

Subject: Hyperlink with tracking applied does not work in PDF
Distilled PDF uses Postscript which does not support hyperlinks and
interactivity. To make your hyperlinks in ID you'll need to export and check
the Include Hyperlinks and Include Interactiviity boxes.
Your printer doesn't need hyperlinks because they don't work on a printed
page. The requirements for print and interactive PDF are quite different, and
you may find you need to make two versions.

Conversion to WORD did not work; the MS is images that were scanned to create the PDF, what to do?

Conversion from PDF to WORD did not work. The MS was composed of images of each page (from a microfilm) that were scanned to create the PDF. What can I do?

Hi Arleen,
I'm so sorry to hear you are disappointed. It sounds like your PDF was originally a scanned document in photo type. Unfortunately those can be almost impossible to convert due to the converting not having actual text to grasp onto.
Let me know if you have further questions.
Kindest regards, Stacy

Hyperlink that contains backslash is not working in Acrobat Reader 8 and 9

Hi,
Does anyone know why a hyperlink that contains backslash is not working in Acrobat reader 8 and 9?
I created a document in Indesign CS and it contains hyperlinks that open up files from network drive so they contain backslash (for example: c:\foder\forder\filename.jpg). All the hyperlinks work in Acrobat Reader 6 but not in Acrobat Reader 8 or 9.
Anybody could share the solution would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Did you ever figure this out? I am also having problems with the "No Hand" javascript which turns off the (not very helpful) page-forward hand icon (a hand symbol with a down arrow) which confuses our users when in fullscreen mode. We create interactive PDFs and everything worked fine up to Acrobat X/Reader X. Now in XI it doesn't allow the internal link icon (pointing finger) nor weblink icon (pointing finger with W) to appear. It just remains a plain o’ hand icon no matter what you mouse over even though there are links present.

Office Web Apps 2013 - Word app not working on Sharepoint 2013 but Excel does

Hi there!
We had some problems with Office Web Apps 2013 not working with Lync, and the status of OWA was unhealty so we decided to install some updates for OWA.
We have downloaded November 2013 update for OWA.
We found out a guide for putting updates on OWA and done this steps:
* Remove-OfficeWebAppsMachine
* Installed the november update
* Restarted OWA server
* ran: New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalUrl https://owasrv.domain.local -ExternalURL
https://owasrv.domain.local -CertificateName "certname" -AllowHttp -EditingEnabled
* Restart-Service WACSM
- checked in IIS in the bindings if the site useses the correct certificate
Then we went on Sharepoint 2013 and ran some commands:
* Remove-SPWOPIBinding –All:$true
* New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName owasrv.domain.local
* Set-SPWOPIZone –zone “external-https”
Now here are the funny things:
* Excel word app on Sharepoint 2013 works
* Word APP not working (screenshot)
* Lync 2013 powerpoint still not working (screenshot)
* status of OWA is healthy

Hi,
The Friendly name field must be unique within the Trusted Root Certificate Authorities store. In -CertificateName, enter the friendly name you gave your
certificate earlier.
Validate the configuration by navigating to the discovery URL of the Office Web Apps server. Like
https://xxx/hosting/discovery
Meanwhile, the issue is related to Lync, I recommend to you to post the question on Lync Server for further discussion via the link below.

When trying to PDF a webpage into a PDF, it does not work, I go through all the steps as normal, and It does nothing. I can repeat my action, where instead of "printing" to adobe, it saves the file, which it doesn't save it at all. I can't even find the original in my work folder. I need to know how to stop this from happeing and get it back to the way it has been working he last 6 months since i purchased this program.

Hi pissedadobeuser,
Does this issue occur with any particular web page?
Are you able to print the webpage to 'Adobe PDF' to convert it to pdf.
Which Browser version, OS version and Acrobat version are you using?

My imac is running mountain lion and last night i downloaded maverick. in midst of installing it it said a powerPC app microsoft word would not work so i canceled the install for the time being. my questions is if i choose to finish installing maverick

my imac is running mountain lion and last night i downloaded maverick. in midst of installing it, it said a powerPC app microsoft word would not work so i canceled the install for the time being. my questions is if i choose to finish installing maverick does that mean i will nevver be able to access word documents stored on my desktop? or do the word docs automatically convert to pages or what? i am so confused. would i be better off just sticking with mountain lion and send the maverick install to the trash? hoping someone will be able to answer my question though i am afraid the response is likely to be just stick with mountain lion so you can keep using word. i had been looking forward to maverick but it seems pretty drastic to not have access to microsoft word anymore by switching to maverick. hope someone has an answer so i can have the best of both worlds so to speak!

thanks for your response Csound1 on the peninsula ... if i go ahead and install maverick and then download LibreOffice or OpenOffice will i then be able to access old microsoft word saved documents on my deskstop through those two free alternatives? i am not that knowledgeable about these things so i am not sure if you are saying i will just be able to use libreoffice or openoffice for creating new documents or whether i can access the saved microsoft docs? are they transferred to OO or LO or what and if editing of the old word docs is needed can i do that through the OO and LO programs or apps (see i am not even sure if i am using the correct vocabulary!) hope you can answer this as quick as the first question, so i can decide to stick with mountain lion and trash the maverick install or proceed with maverick install and hoppe that my microsoft word docs are still accessible through OO or LO or adding to myquestion will pages on maverick be able to open the old word documents? thanks again!

PDF Portfolio does not work with iOS Reader 11.3.2 on iOS 7.1.2

Well this is upsetting. I created a PDF form with several pages of the same form (it's a travel log).
My hoping to use Adobe Reader to complete the form and save back as a week at a time won't work.
I created the form using Acrobat Pro 9 from CS5.
Does anyone know if a PDF form in a Portfolio should work with Adobe Reader on the iPad2/
Also, what can I use that works with forms as a portfolio?
Ken

Ken,
please could you describe your workflow. It might help to find some solution. Also it would be great if you can share a sample of your document. Please email it to [email protected] with the reference to this discussion "PDF Portfolio does not work with iOS Reader 11.3.2 on iOS 7.1.2"
thank you.

Pdf object postMessage not working in FF 22

Hi,
After updating my FF to 22, i seen pdf object postMessage function does not working. We used adbove livecycle intraactive pdf forms to collect the data from the user.
When user click the save button from the pdf, postMessage function called, but after update this not getting execute.
For your reference i include the URL which also had the same problem. I also tried without addons.
Refer: http://www.windjack.com/WindJack/Browser2PDF/brwsr2acroJS.htm
HTML to PDF => works
PDF to HTML => not working (in earlier versions it worked)
Thanks n Regards
Mathan

This is likely the fault of Livecycle Interactive. Most likely, Adobe has not yet provided an update for supporting Firefox 22. I would recommend informing adobe support about it.

I just updated to OS X Mountain Lion and now Word will not work?

I just updated to OS X Mountain Lion and now Word will not work?
Word, Powerpoint, Excel - none of them work. . . . Any ideas?

You can also try Pages for Word / Numbers for Excel. Both can import/export Word and Excel files.

My office says it cant be installed because a newr version is already installed but when i go to word its not working

Please help, word will not work on my mac book pro so I uninstalled word now I cannot reinstall it it keeps telling me that a newer version is already installed but there is nothing.

You may contact Microsoft as iheartapple1970 suggests or erase your HDD, reinstall your OS and then install Word. If you choose to do so, make certain that your user data id backed up.
Ciao.
