Hyperlinks on pictures don't work

I wanted to put some hyperlinks on pictures that would lead to other pages on my site. When I tried clicking the Insert menu and choosing Hyperlink, the choices were greyed out. Then I tried selecting the picture, and I opened the Inspector and checked "Enable as a hyperlink." Clicking on the picture to get to the page works in iWeb, but not when you load the page to the site.
Is it possible to make pictures hyperlinks, or should I just put captions under the pictures and make them hyperlinks?

Your second method is the correct method. Use the page name as the link destination instead of First, Second, etc. Then check "Make hyperlinks active" checkbox and try the link. It should take you to the linked page right in iWeb.
To check the links without publishing to the server just publish to a folder on the Desktop and run the site locally with your browser.

Hyperlinks in pdf don't work

Hi.
I create pdfs with hyperlinks in adobe indesign 5.5.
The created Hyperlinks refer to other pdf documents and still work,
but if I open the same pdf Files with another computer,
the links don't work.
I don't know why hyperlinks don't work on the other computer.
Any ideas?
Both Acrobat Versions have the ability to use and open linked documents.
It seems to be a general problem from acrobat.
Thanks!

If you create a link in Acrobat to another PDF file in the same folder or in a subfolder of the source PDF's location, the link destination will always specify only the filename (and optional subfolder), not the absolute path. Provided those two files/folders are moved together, the link will always work.
EG:
"Index.pdf" in folder "C:\Writing\Novels\MyBook"
"chapter.pdf" in "C:\Writing\Novels\MyBook\Chapters"
Linking from "index.pdf" to "chapter.pdf", the filespec attribute of the link will be "Chapters/chapter.pdf".
Copying the entire "MyBook" or "Novels" folder and subfolders to another computer, CD, etc. the link will work as normal.

I tried FF4, decided to go back to IE8, but now hyperlinks in MSOutlook don't work. How do I fix this?

Now, when I click a link in Outlook, nothing happens.

Have you tried resetting IE8 as the default browser?
In IE8 - Tools > Internet Options > Programs - near the bottom

IBooks hyperlinks don't work anymore

After upgrading iBooks, my proof iBooks have disappeared on the iPad, but even worse, all hyperlinks (opacity 0%) don't work anymore. Is there a solution?

I had to re-install iBooks 3 times before I could get a copy to work on an iPad2 - keep trying...

Word 2000 hyperlinks don't work in .pdf created with Acrobat 9 Pro

I'm new to Adobe Forums, so please overlook the effrontery of my posting a query previously discussed. Perhaps someone can simply reply with a link to the prior discussion. I have installed Acrobat 9.2 Pro in 2 computers, one running XP64 Pro, the other XP32 Pro. Word 2000 is installed in both. All Word hyperlinks work fine, but after .pdf conversion using Acrobat 9.2 Pro, none of these work. In 'Preferences', I have navigated Convert to PDF > Microsoft Office Office Word > Edit Settings > Add Links to Adobe PDF File and confirmed that the Add Links feature is enabled. Having ascertained that this glitch is not specific to either XP64 or XP32 operating systems, I uninstalled Acrobat 9.2 Pro from the XP32 computer and reinstalled Acrobat 6.1 Pro. Then using the same Word 2000 document, I converted to .pdf using Acrobat 6.1 Pro, with no problems whatsoever. This looks like a serious bug in Acrobat 9 Pro, which the telephone support folks have acknowledged. Alas, they won't give me the tiniest clue how to resolve it, nor any workaround, but merely refer me to AdobeForums.com for help. I suspect a corrective patch or 'upgrade' will be forthcoming, but meanwhile, if anyone knows of a workaround, please enlighten me. Thanks. /rmbrown

Thank you, CtDave, for your speedy reply and for the 'Acrobat Technical Evangelist' knowledge base article. Word 2000 is one of Microsoft's masterpieces - by disabling 'autosave', the application is totally stable, does not require 'activation' by Microsoft. Acrobat 9 enables 'saving' of interactive .pdf forms, a most valuable feature and one much appreciated by anyone completiing such forms. There must be more to this issue than 'incompatibility', because I can create a test Word 2000 document, hyperlink a valid URL, convert to .pdf with Acrobat 9, and the hyperlink works fine in Acrobat 9. When I attempt to do this using a much more complex Word 2000 document, embedded with scores of hyperlinks, these links fail to work following conversion to .pdf with Acrobat 9, but work fine following conversion to .pdf with Acrobat 6. I can then use Acrobat 9 to open the .pdf created with Acrobat 6, and successfully edit any of these fully functional hyperlinks using the 'Link tool'. I don't know who prepared the 'Acrobat Technical Evangelist' article (AF1908DCd01) - no credits were cited, and I'm far from certain that this authentically belongs to Adobe's knowledge base. So I appreciate your sharing this information with me, but I cannot say that my question has been definitively answered. If you have any further information or tips, please reply in this thread. /rmbrown

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!!

Microsoft Access report to pdf-hyperlinks don't work

Hi,
Does anyone have a solution to hyperlinks not working when a Microsoft Access report is converted to a pdf? The hyperlinks work when I am in the Access report, but once I convert to a pdf (Acrobat 9), the links don' t work.
Thanks,
Jamie

How did you convert? In looking at the PDF Maker options for AA8 in ACCESS 2007, there does not seem to be a link button in the preferences. That may the issue and I do not have a solution for that.

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 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.

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 frames where you have videos, and....

Did you notice that if you put a hyperlink in a frame where you already have a video, after you export in quicktime your presentation, the hyperlink won't work no more?
And did u notice that if you use an hyperlink to a frame that is not the follower one, this will blast off any transition?
And did you notice this happens in Keynote 08 AND Keynote 09?
AND AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT NOTICED THIS AND IS SICK TO PAY FOR A SOFTWARE THAT "just DON'T work" ??

How bout adding the URL after the vid? That works for me; remember a connection to a URL drops you out of Keynote & Sets up Safari, so you're completely out of the app & have to get back in through the dock. I'm uncertain what you mean about the transition blast; cold you give more detail?
In fairness, all apps fail to do something or other, and this does not mean they don't work. If you want to pay big bucks & fight with PP, fine, but I'll stick to the more versatile and easy-to-use KN.

Hyperlinks don't work in keynote 3

My hyperlinks don't work in Keynote 3, even not after re-installing the programme several times. Are there more people who have this priblem, it could be a bug.

Check that the presentation is set to normal in: Inspector > Document > Document > Presentation Type > Normal
The inspector is the side panel on the right hand side.

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.
