Hyperlinks in Version 8.0

I am creating a form in v8.0 and need to insert a hyperlink to direct the user to a folder containing other documents. Does anyone know how to insert a hyperlink in this version?  I have not been able to find a way to do this.

Do you mean Reader version 8.0? Or Designer version 8.0? In either case, both have been end of lifed for support. If you are looking for "bookmark" functionality in XFA, you will need the latest version of Designer, and LiveCycle products.

If you are looking to just go to a URL, such as www.adobe.com, for example, you can use this script:
xfa.host.gotoURL(www.adobe.com);
Retrieves the specified URL. It is available only for client applications.
void gotoURL(string param1 [, bool param2])
param1: The fully qualified or a relative URL. It is permissible to have a query string at the end of the URL. If the current document is being viewed inside the browser, or Acrobat Web Capture is not available, it uses the Weblink plug-in to retrieve the requested URL. If running inside Acrobat, then the URL of the current document is obtained either from the document's Base URL, or from the URL of page #0 (if the document was WebCaptured), or from the file system.
param2 (optional) : If True (the default), the resulting page(s) should be appended to the current document. This flag is considered to be False if the document is running inside the web browser, the Acrobat Web Capture plug-in is not available, or if the URL is of type 'file:///'.
XFA Version: 2.1
Availability: All
Keep in mind, using the File:/// prefix to get to the local drive is a security concern.

  • InDesign Server crashing on hyperlinks - HYPERLINKS.RPLN

    When trying to access properties of a hyperlink it causes InDesign to crash. I can assign properties of the hyperlink but if I try and retrieve properties it hangs and crashes resulting in the error below. I'm using InDesign Server 64bit version 7.0.4.553. What's interesting is this works completely fine when testing using InDesign CS5 client version.
    I have used Extend script toolkit to try and debug the issue but you can't even use the databrowser to look at the hyperlink properties as it'll crash there as well. But if I debug using toolkit with client version of InDesign it works fine. It really seems like an issue with InDesign Server and I'm not sure what I can do to work around/fix this problem.
    Example script -
    var myDoc = app.open([document path]);
    for (i = 0; i < myDoc.hyperlinks.length; i++)
         var myHyperlink = myDoc.hyperlinks[i];  
         var newDestination = myHyperlink.destination; // - this causes indesign to crash
         //Do some processing...
    Faulting application name: InDesignServer.exe, version: 7.0.4.553, time stamp: 0x4d891c6d
    Faulting module name: HYPERLINKS.RPLN, version: 7.0.4.553, time stamp: 0x4d891ef9

    Faulting module path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS5 Server x64\Required\HYPERLINKS.RPLN
    Any help would be great! I can post more information if needed.

    I think I may have found the problem...
    It appears that the particular document I'm working with has a shared link that is contained in another document (in InDesign if you look at the hyperlink details it is a shared destination and for "document" it specifies a different document then the current one. This would probably happen when the hyperlink is copied from a different document. When trying to access that shared link it is unable to get the properties of it because there is actually no reference to it as the other document isn't open on the server.
    This is an interesting problem because I'm not sure where to go with this... I need to be able to get the hyperlink but with the given scenario I can't figure out a way to do that.

  • [CS5/JS] Ann: Javascript Help as CHM

    Hi Illustrator forum!
    For those as frustrated as me about the ESTK Help browser I converted the Help files to an easy readable and searchable, hyper-hyperlinked CHM version. CHM is originally a Windows file format, but don't let that deter you: it also works quite nice on a Mac, using Robin Lu's iCHM viewer.
    Download link on my little part of the web (scroll down to "Illustrator").
    The file contains just the functions of Illustrator, and you might also be interested in the ScriptUI and JS Base Class sets.
    (It's relatively easy to create a same help file for CS4, and/or a set of HTML files. If anyone is interested, I'll make these as well.)

    Hi Jongware!
    I have been referred to this thread and your website looking for an alternative to the provided Object Model Viewer.  You seem to have improved upon the Adobe version and I was hoping to try it out on my Windows 7 64-bit computer.
    Unfortunately, I have run into a bit of a snag.  After I download and extract the Illustrator CS5 .chm file from your website, I can't seem to view the content.  The Index/Table of Contents are all there, but it won't display any of the actual help file.
    It seems that my computer needs me to OK a security check from your file, even though it doesn't require that from other .chm files.  I wouldn't think that that would mess anything up, but even if I click OK, I can't see the content.  I have a suspicion that my computer still has some sort of security measure turned on that is blocking the content.
    Here is the security warning I get before I open your file:
    When I click Open, the Index/Table of Contents are all there, but none of the pages can be displayed, it looks like this:
    Compare this to a "trusted" .chm file (Microsoft Security Essentials) that doesn't require a Security dialog box:
    Strange isn't it?
    Thanks for your help!

  • After updating Firefox to version 12.0, I can no longer get my web-based help desk software to follow hyperlinks.

    Our help-desk is internal, secure website. We have used Firefox for our help desk software browser since we purchased the software. But after updating to version 12, clicking on a hyperlink no longer works but only for the help desk software. Pre-version 12 works fine. External sites are fine. IE executes the help-desk software fine. There is no error, it just never executes the hyperlink. It's like they're text. Where can I start looking? We'd prefer not to go to IE, but we are using it now to get by.

    Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Newest version 18.0.2 - some hyperlinks on some pages cannot be opened by simple left-click

    Firefox 18.0.2 - only in this newest version - in many cases (but not all) hyperlinks on pages (e.g. search results and also common links on some sites) cannot be opened by simple left-click, Firefox just do nothing at this moment, only refreshes current page.
    I mean not opening in a new tab but even in the same tab - link is not opened anyway though link is correct itself, it opens if I do this by right-click or CTRL+click (open in new tab or new window) .
    Strange issue which I clearly see now after last update to version 18.0.2 (on Windows XP). Everything have been okay a little ago on previous version.

    Hello viewfinder
    '''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
    Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

  • Pages version 5 - Is there a way to export to PDF and keep the hyperlinks?

    I previously used Pages 09 and when I exported to PDF for my online shop, the table of contents and hyperlinks all worked.  I've exported my first Pages version 5 document to PDF and none of the links work.
    Is there a fix for this?

    Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5.

    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Archive/trash Pages 5 and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • The hyperlink window won't open in 2014 version.  Anyone else having this problem?

    The hyperlink window won't open in 2014 version.  Anyone else having this problem?  I'm using HP Envy Laptop with Windows 8.1. 

    Sort of. As part of the next update we'll make Muse ignore the 125% scale setting. This will make it easier for you to use that setting with all your other applications, but even when your Display is set to scale 125% the Muse UI will be presented at 100%. Unfortunately the current transition architecture of Muse (part native 64-bit app and part Adobe AIR app internally) combined with how Windows 8 and 8.1 achieve 125% scaling means it will be quite some time before Muse will be able to correctly support 125% Display scaling. Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • Does any version of InDesign let you set hyperlinks to open in new window?

    I'm converting some InDesign books to pdf and epubs and my client wants the hyperlinks to open in new window when these files are viewed in browsers. so far no version I've tried has this capability.

    It must be done in Acrobat. Ask in the Acrobat forums.

  • Upon right clicking a hyperlink, image, etc., the properties button no longer appears in the list. (I am using FireFox version 3.6.3)

    When right-clicking an image, hyperlink, etc., the "Properties" button is not in the drop-down list as it has always been in previous Firefox versions.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Installation of Firefox version 3.6.3

    Properties has been removed from the right-click context menu. You now need to use right-click '''''View Image Info''''' or '''''View Page Info''''' > Media and scroll down the list of items to see the properties.
    Do not post at the following link; just read the discussion. See [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=513147 Bug 513147] – Get rid of the "Properties" context menu item.
    The following add-on will add the "Properties" option to the right-click menu in Firefox 3.6 and higher: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/14228

  • Last version of "ADOBE Muse" - HYPERLINK

         When I click on the hyperlink icon It opens the window, but when click on "file" or on "colleague to file" the window is closed and null doesn't happen.
         Somehow I have succeeded in inserting in the "resources" the file.pdf to be unloaded, but it doesn't happen anything.
         There would be thankful if you pointed out me what to do sooner the possible before I have The Site to Adjourn.      Thanks.

  • In the "View"-- "Page Source" window: why can't I select a portion of a URL like I used to in previous versions? If I try, the source text behaves as an active hyperlink instead. This makes copying and editing HTML a pain!

    In want to copy a portion of a URL from the "View" --> "Page Source" window and paste it in my favorite text editor. This used to be a simple action with my mouse (mark portion with left mouse button, dump copy into editor window with middle mouse button). In Firefox 3.6.9, it is not plain text in the "Page Source" window but active hyperlinks (cursor shape changes) and takes me to the website of that URL, which I don't want. How can I get the original behavior (plain text page source) back?

    The code taht you have shown is not the template, it is a document that has been created from a template and renamed with a dwt extension.
    If you load the document into DW then go to menu item Modify->Templates->Detach from Template and save the file, you will have your original template called index.dwt and located in the Templates subdirectory.
