Hyperlinks not exporting to pdf.

We have a report that has hyperlinks to different pages in the report. I did this by formatting text as a hyperlink and using a formula to generate the link in the format #page=5 when this was exported to pdf, the links worked perfectly and linked back to the appropriate page in the same pdf. This was done in Crystal 9. Now we have upgraded to Crystal 11 and it does not work anymore. I can look at the contents of the pdf and it does not appear that any links are exporting to pdf. Is this feature broken in CR11? Does anyone know when this will be fixed?

previdn,
Pages to my knowledge does not retain the multimedia elements when exporting pdfs. The manual is not illuminating on the subject. I thought it might be possible that the media element is a reference and requires the external file to be present, usually in the same location, in the same folder both when you create it and try to play it back.
However I just did some experiments in Pages, Preview and Acrobat, including the propinquity and making the file, media and .pdf carry the same name. The media just is not referenced from the exported .pdf document. What you are seeing is the "poster" frame of the QT movie, in your case the black rectangle.
Media files are normally added to a .pdf in Acrobat Pro, after they are created, where you can add much more control over how they are viewed and launched.
Until Apple fixes this, your only choice is to do this in KeyNote which has excellent media exporting.
You could try Numbers as well on the off chance Apple implemented this function there.

  • Bleeding background shape will not export to PDF

    Hello everyone,
    I am working in InDesign v. 7.0.3 and when I set a rectangle to bleed on all sides it will not export to PDF (using Adobe Acrobat Pro, v. 9.4.2) . That being said, shapes and text within the page all show up. Does anyone have any suggestions that might solve this very annoying mystery?
    Thank you in advance for your help!
    P.S. I should add that the save dialog box presents a desktop icon that does show the complete file.

    No background at all? not just bleed not showing?
    If it's restricted to this file, try Remove minor corruption by exporting
    If it's all files, Replace Your Preferences

  • I can not export a PDF to word. What should I do?

    I can not export a PDF to word. What should I do? Do I have to cancel my subscription? Please answer me.!!

    Hi wishborne,
    I'm here to help! Are you unable to log in to ExportPDF, or unable to convert files once you're logged in? I tried to check your order history, but don't see any orders under the email address that you use here. Did you perhaps sign up using a different email address, or sign up via Adobe Reader?
    I look forward to hearing back from you. We will get to the bottom of this.

  • Hyperlinks not working in PDf created from Keynote '08

    When I produce a pdf from File > Print in Keynote '08, the hyperlinks do not work in the pdf. I have tried all the various pdf settings (even the ones that export hyperlinks) and no luck, the links are not working in the pdf. If I invoke the File > Export > PDf command in Keynote, the hyperlinks do work, but Export does not provide as much flexibility in PDF creation that File > Print does, thus my need to go to File > Print.
    Any suggestion?

    Are you sure that you really entered a link when you created an Hyperlink?
    The described one is the one which is used by default by every iWork's components.
    We must enter the true one by ourselves.

  • Hyperlinks not working in PDF from ID

    Hi folks:
    I am currently creating a file in InDesign (CC 2014) and attempting to export it to a pdf. When I do export it, only 6 out of 15 hyperlinks work in PDF.  The links that work AND do not work are both URLs and Emails.  In ID all links function in the Hyperlinks panel. I have unclicked "Shared Hyperlinks Destination" for all links. It is not that the links are broken, it is that in the PDF version, half of the links are not reading that a hyperlink is attached.
    Any troubleshooting ideas are greatly appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    Jen

    When you export with File > Export > Adobe PDF (Print), you need to check Hyperlinks at the bottom (see below). Hyperlinks are not included by default:

  • Chapter Headings Are Not Exporting to PDF as h1-h3 tags

    With two-column layouts, even though I assigned PDF export tags to the chapter heading Paragraph Styles, they are not being exported to PDF with h1-3 tags.
    I'm using InDesign CS6 and Acrobat Pro XI on a 64-bit Windows 7 system.
    To export, I'm using the
    File / Adobe PDF Presets option:
    On the Export Adobe PDF pop-up-screen, the following are checked:
    Create Tagged PDF
    Bookmarks
    Hyperlinks
    And I have the Compatibility set to "Acrobat 8/9 (PDF1.7)
    Any ideas why the heading tags are not being exported correctly?
    Thanks.

    There are some known problems with bookmarks and CS5 as well. As far as I know, the 7.0.3 update won't fix them, but it does solve some other problems, so you should install it.

  • Bookmark hyperlinks not working within PDF

    I have added hundreds of bookmarks and created hyperlinks to each one. The hyperlinks function from within iBooks Author but as soon as I export to PDF, the hyperlinks stop working.
    From within the PDF the hyperlinks appear as underlined text, and the curser changes to indicate that a hyperlink is present. But clicking on a link does nothing. However, external hyperlinks (to websites: e.g. http://www.site.com) function OK.
    I have opened the PDF within Preview, Adobe Reader and also within various iPads. Apple indicate that bookmarks/hyperlinks work when exporting to PDF, so what am I doing wrong?
    I've searched the net for solutions and it appears that I'm not the only one with the same issue - but no solution is present.
    Any ideas?

  • Relative Hyperlinks when Exporting to PDF

    I am working on a number of InDesign pages that hyperlink out to various other supporting files, which I've saved all within the same folder as the PDF exports of the InDesign files.
    When I use the Path button to browse to the file I want to target, it inserts an "absolute" link to that file. Since this whole folder of inter-connected documents must be portable, I want to use "relative" linking syntax. I tried just typing in the "filename.doc" and file://filename.doc but, with no success.
    Thanks for any clues on this.
    -Tony

    I create InDesign files all the time that require relative links.  InDesign hyperlinking does not support that directly.
    I use a third party program called "Filezilla" (free from downloads.com) to upload the supporting documents and then to copy the relative links.  At least this way (copy/paste) I can ensure I have the correct path out to the link.
    I then paste the link into the proper hyperlink dialogue box.
    PDF, and away we go.

  • Pages 5.1 not exporting to pdf properly

    When I export or print my pages document as a pdf, some text is missing in the resulting pdf.
    Is there a way to fix it?
    Thanks,
    Rapolas

    Yes, it does.
    I have a few sentences within a single cell, and half of the second sentence is missing.
    In Pages 5.1, the document looks like this:
    Whereas the exported or printed pdf is:
    The only acceptable workaround I could find was to export to pages 09 format, open it with pages 4.3 and export as pdf. That one looks just the way it is supposed to. But it is not a solution.
    The worst thing is that you cannot spot the defect at a glance. Neither can I trust the export as pdf function.

  • Table of Contents bookmarks not exporting to PDF (CS5)

    I have a 200 page book made up of 15 documents.  I've created a table of contents based on paragraph styles and the TOC generates and formats correctly.  When I create the TOC, the Create PDF Bookmarks box is checked.  When I export the whole book I've tried it with Create Tagged PDF checked and unchecked.
    After I export to PDF from the Book palette, the TOC items are links (at least they give me the pointer-hand icon) but they don't go anywhere.  The only one that does is the one in the same document as the TOC.  (I have tried the TOC both within a chapter and also in it's own document with no other links in it).  The behavior is the same in the Bookmarks pane - all are shown but only one works.  I've looked at several of the bookmarks' Properties > Actions.  It says its "Going to a page in another document" > (document-name-of-the-correct-chapter-but-with-pdf-instead-of-indd.pdf) > Page 1 (this is correct) > Zoom level: actual size.
    This isn't right - it's pointing to an imaginary pdf that doesn't exist.  It should be pointing to page X in the current document.
    Here's what I've tried:
    * restarting InDesign
    * restarting my machine
    * deleting the TOC and regenerating it
    * generating the book with all documents open or all documents closed
    * moving the TOC to its own document
    * probably some other things I've forgotten in the struggle
    All of the links and references in the individual documents are good.
    I've looked around these forums and this seems to be an ongoing and unsolved issue for other folks using older versions.  This is the closest I came to finding an answer but ended up with an Adobe employee logging it as a bug in 2009.  Bookmarks not exporting from InDesign to PDF in CS4                     By (c_goates)
    So here's hoping there is some new information.  I've been trying to get this to work for far too long and don't relish drawing bookmark boxes around all 55 of my text links.
    Specs: Max OS 10.6.6, CS5 (Version 7.0)
    Sorry this is so long, but details help, usually.  Thanks in advance for any advice.

  • Hyperlinks not working in PDF created from Word

    I have created a Word document containing hyperlinks but when I print it to a PDF file (using Acrobat 7.0.9 on Windows Server 2003), the hyperlinks look OK in the PDF file but nothing happens when I click on them.
    In Acrobat, under Edit > Preferences > Convert to PDF > Microsoft Office > Edit Settings, the "Add bookmarks and links to Adobe PDF file" option is ticked.
    How can I get the hyperlinks to work in a PDF file created from a Word document?

    The original post did not indicate the method of creating the PDF. The result that was obtained was what happens when you print to the Adobe PDF printer. To get the hyperlinks embedded in the PDF, you have to use the PDF Maker (create PDF in WORD 2007).

  • Keynote symbols not exporting to PDF

    How do I make Keynote export % symbols to a PDF? For some reason it is not exporting. I tried using multiple fonts. I was pretty surprised to see that Keynote was leaving characters off of exports. Usually Apple is pretty good about accuracy.
    Yosemite OS 10.10.2 
    Keynote 6.5.2 (2119)
    Macbook Pro 15 Retina
    Fonts tried:  Helvetica, Futura Std
    Could not export % symbols adjacent to numbers

    Sorry. my bad on version numbers. The latest patch for CS4 is 6.0.6, but you might want to stop at 6.0.5 if you have file with imported Illustrator graphics because, if memory serves, the 6.0.6 patch changes the way they are scaled on relink.
    Do you actually have an InDesign Document open when you go to File > Export...? I presume the answer is yes or the command would not be active.
    When the export dialog opens you should see a standard file save dialog with a large area that shows folders and files, and two fields below where you can enter a name and choose a file type to export. What do you see in the file type field? If it isn't PDF, can you click the arrow on the end and choose Adobe PDF?
    What is showing in the name field? Are you able to enter a new name of your choice?
    I suspect that at some point you may have changed the name of the PDF you exported from the file (the default is to use the same file name, but you can enter anything you like), then saved the .indd file after doin the export. When you do this you embed the new PDF file name into the file and it will always be selected the next time you try to export. If I recall correctly, exporting to .idml or .inx, then opeing that and resaving as a new .indd should clear that, and simply changing the name for the export to match the filename  of the docuemtn may work as well.

  • Special letters do not export to PDF from InDesign CS4

    I have just installed Indesign CS4 and gathered all the fonts I needed from my old computer. Everything has gone well until I tried to export my document to PDF. The PDF showed the Icelandic special "Ð" and "Þ" letters as a missing letter, a white space or a simple box. This only happens in several typefaces, namely Helvetica Neue, Cohin and Times. (and maybe some others). Note that the special letters are shown in InDesign. I reckon that there is some problem whit the export… Can anybody help me?

    You can check the "Advanced" section when you export the PDF to make sure that fonts are being embedded. Both d-with-bar and thorn are part of the glyph complement of Helvetica Neue, so either the font is not being embedded, or something is wrong in ID. You can also go to the "Composition" section of the Preferences and put a check into the "Substituted Glyphs" box to make sure that the d-with-bar and thorn that are appearing in your ID doc are actually part of the font (which they should be).

  • File will not export to PDF

    I am creating an InDesign book composed of multiple placed PDF files. Whenever I go to export this book as a new print PDF, I keep receiving an error message that says "1 problem (1 failure) was found with a background task: Failed to export the PDF file."  I have narrowed it down to one particular PDF within the book that seems to be causing the problem. However, I don't really know enough about PDF files to determine what the problem actually is. Does anyone have any idea what may be going on here or have any other things for me to look into to provide further information? Thanks!

    Never mind! I'm not sure what the actual problem was, but after printing the file that was having the issue and re-scanning it as a new file, everything worked out.
