Hyperlinks show up with a box around them in Pages 2 PDF's.

I am excited that web links now show up as hyperlinks. However, when I export a .pdf of the document, the hyperlinks end up with a box around them that makes them unreadable.
Any idea how to get rid of the box. It doesn't show up in the original document. Only when you view invisibles.

Dennis,
you are right with your thought. I am thankful for every info to get better in every way. The posts in the Pages Discussions are easy to understand and so it should be. Wow, I can tell you, that this is very different to some 3D forums.
After I know how to start the English version of Pages (thank you Matthias, this was a very good advice), I think most people can follow my explanations better, without the time of waiting for your title translations

    When i add text to PDFs and work on the file for awhile, my red added text starts to turn into red X's with a box around them. I have OCRs turned off, i have the latest update, and i have registered the product. What is happening to my text while i'm working on these files? On top of this, my red arrows get moved around also.

    Hi ,
    Could you please update me with few details like what version of Acrobat are you using?
    What OS do you work on ?

  • The hyperlinks in my pdf all have a blue shaded box around them when viewing in adobe reader.

    The hyperlinks in my pdf all have a blue shaded box around them when viewing in adobe reader. How can I get rid of these? Why is this happening? The pdf was created from a presentation in powerpoint and uses the links for some interactivity. 

    That's a great feature request. I'd like the ability to turn off the blue boxes over hyperlinks as well.

  • Suddenly some of the characters in mail have turned into 'A's with boxes around them?

    I don't think I changed any settings, but suddenly some of the characters in my emails received have utrned into 'A's with boxes around them. A think the characters that have changed are in italics (see pic below).
    Any suggestions what has gone wrong here and how I can fix it?
    Thanks!

    Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and the support article linked below for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them, then boot in safe mode* (by holding down the shift key at the startup chime) to rebuild the font caches. Boot again as usual and test.

    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. In that case only, after running Font Book, launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

  • My iMac PPC has little A's with boxes around them instead of text?

    After my son's visit from NYC my iMac PPC OS 10.4.11 now has A's with boxes around them instead of usual names across the top of the screen.  No more File Edit etc across the top of the screen?

    That's usually caused by a third-party font manager competing with FontBook. Check the links in this old thread:

    And speak sternly to your son if he installed a font manager

  • A's with boxes around them??

    Everywhere on my desktop where there is supposed to be text there are A's with boxes around them. This is the same when I click on the finder...instead of having things like My Documents it has nothing but A's with boxes around them. I have a print screen picture of it but don't know how to post it on here.

    Welcome!
    Please look at this post in the Tiger forums:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9319072&#9319072
    This problem has come up before but is usually asked in the Mac OS forums. If you need help with any of the suggestions, post back.

  • Placed .tiff files in illustrator have box around them.

    I am wondering how to properly place .tiff files in illustrator, so that they can easily be set up for commercial printing. I have created a simple sell sheet for a product that has 3 placed tiff images in it. The images are circular and appear fine on screen. However, when printed, the images have a slightly darker box around them. The images were created in photoshop, and i'm wondering if i needed to use a clipping mask or perhaps another format for the images to maintain the transparency. Should i rasterize the images, embed, or keep linked? Any help would be great!

    I am getting a dark line around psd images (they have clipping paths) which I place into illustrator. Everything looks fine in illustrator, but when I save the AI file with pdf compatibility and open it in photoshop, there is a dark line around the images. My solution was to save the bubble as a tiff file (there is an option to save with transparency), and then place the new file into AI. It seems to work soo-far.  After I placed the attachments into this forum, I realized that they are too small to see the black lines around the bubbles.)
    See post number 25 for more recent findings...

  • I have these black boxes around my active pages, but I have voice-over disabled, any help?

    I have these black boxes around my active pages, I looked online for pointers but they all pointed to me disabling my voice-over in the universal access option on system preferences. My voice-over wasn't enabled and the boxes are still here, any help?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Programmatically generated hyperlinks in PDF now have boxes around them (v. 10.1.4)

    Hi
    I wonder if anyone has encountered this problem which only appeared in version 10.1.4 of both the Reader and Acrobat and if so, have you found a solution/workaround?
    Hyperlinks that are generated programmatically now have visible borders around them which can't be turned off. Our company uses a specialist programme to generate PDF publications from XML. Since Adobe has released the new 10.1.4 update, all the hyperlinks originally created in XML and converted to PDF are encapsulated in a box. This does not apply to manual links. My (personal) solution was to downgrade the Reader to 10.1.3 and Acrobat to 10.0.0  (because that was when the back button last worked properly and I use that all the time), but we cannot advise our customers to do the same - downgrading is not exactly a breeze. I view this as a bug or oversignt on Adobe's part and I really hope the next update will address this issue. If anyone has found a solution, please share it. Thank you.

    Oh, I didn’t realise that, sorry!
    OK, I’ve attached two pages extracted from one of our publications. If you open the file in Reader 10.1.4 you will see a mixture of links with borders and without borders – the ones without were done by hand and you can actually go into properties and change them. The other ones don’t let you access the properties because they are created by our system (called CLS). The links with visible borders still work, so it’s only a question of aesthetics. Only one link (3.4) in the attached PDF will work because it’s taking you to a place inside this very same document; the others were disabled during extraction.
    I can provide a bigger file, if you think it’s any help.

  • Slideshow captions appear to have boxes around them when viewed on mobile devices

    Hi... I searched for this problem but couldn't find a reference - appologies if I didn't quite use the right search terms and it's already been answered.
    I am having problems with a basic slideshow widget - when viewed on a PC (iMac in this instance) the image captions, counter and navigation buttons do NOT have any visible borders (I haven't stroked or filled the container boxes, other than the nav buttons). However, view the same slideshow on an iPad, or iPhone and there appears to be boxes around the caption, counter and nav buttons. I would prefer there to be no visible box outlines.
    The problem page can be viewed here (remember, fine on a PC, not fine on a mobile device)
    http://mikehiggs.co.uk/musesite/case-studies.html
    There are two slide shows on the page as I tried two different widgets - both have the same problem.
    The odd thing is, I used the same method on the Home Page slideshow at the top of the page and this is working fine.
    If anyone can shed any light on this 'problem' I'd very much appreciate it - I have tried everything I know at this stage.
    Thanks in advance of any help.
    Addendum...
    If I change the slideshow transitions from 'horizontal' to 'fade' the problem goes away. But I would prefer the slideshow to slide.
    Just thought this extra info may help diagnose the problem.

    Hi Mike
    I tried to check the link in PC and phone both , i don't see boxes around the caption or counters.
    Its the same view in desktop and phone.
    Phone View :
    Desktop view :
    Can you please check with another phone device and if you still see the same effect , please upload few screenshots.
    Thanks,

  • Framemaker 9 PDF exports with red boxes around text areas

    I have a doc, made in FM 7, using version 9
    When I make a PDF i get boxes around some of the text. It wasn't there during FM design.
    example
    (see red)
    Please help

    AxialInfo wrote:
    you might consider saving the FM file as MIF and then looking at the MIF using the wonderful freebie MIFBrowser, from Graham Wideman, from here:
    Wideman Adobe FrameMaker Topics
    to find the problem area do a search for the string that is in the title
    "Downblast Centrifugal
    Exhaust Ventilator
    Roof Mounted
    Belt Drive"
    although just pasting it here it looks like you might have soft carriage returns in it which will make it necessary to just search for the two-word segments.
    After you find the phrase, use the left navigation area to walk "up" the MIF file, looking for the specific structure that those words are in (is it a text box, or rather a graphic frame inside a text box, correct?) Is this an anchored frame, or is it just floating? If it's anchored, where is it anchored?
    In the MIF, see if you can identify any odd sounding properties of the text box or graphic frame. The MIF reference manual is a PDF found in the FM documentation folder.
    Also, one other possibility is that there's something funky with the red swash that goes across the page that's somehow "contaminating" the text frame. What kind of graphic type is the red swash? Could you take a copy of the FM file and remove the swash and then make a PDF, to see if that solves the red outline.
    edit: additional questions: are the swash and the text frame on the body page or on the master page? When Arnis suggested checking for graphics behind the text frame, did you also check the master page(s) as well as the body pages?

  • Hyperlinked files opens with Pro even though Reader is default PDF application

    Hello.
    I have a Windows 2008 x64 Server that I have installed both Adobe Pro X and Adobe Reader X on. I have installed Pro first, then Reader, both with MST files, so that Reader is the default PDF viewer.  Reader shows as the default program and if you double click on a PDF document, Reader does indeed open.  However, if a hyperlink in Word or some other document points to a PDF file, Adobe Pro opens instead.  I need to make Reader the default application for all references to PDF files, but I need to keep Pro and Reader installed on the server at the same time.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    John

    Hi,
    Could you try re-setting the default PDF handler to Adobe Reader 10.1.2 again and see if it helps. You can do the same by:
    1. Launching Reader.
    2. Goto Edit > Preferences > General
    3. Click on "Select Default PDF Handler" and chose Reader. If its set as Reader initially, try switching it to Acrobat and then back to Reader again, to remove any incorrect associations on your system.

    That was always set correctly.  However, I did uninstall and reinstall Reader with a newer patch.  It seems to be the default for even embedded PDF files now.  The new problem is Reader now asks for the user to select a language before opening, but it does this only with embedded pdfs.  Double clicking on an actual pdf file opens Reader with no issues.

  • In my updated Pages 5.2, when I click on a specific shape to manipulate it, all the other shapes on the page have blue boxes around them. I cannot grab and work with one shape easily.  Why?

    I have a mac OS X, version 10.9.3 with Pages 5.2 (1860). When I create several shapes or text boxes on the page and try to click on just one, a blue box surrounds every item on the page so I can't edit the one specific item.  Why?

    Hello betsywetsy
    It sounds to me like you have the shapes grouped together. Select them and either look in the Arrange pane of the Format inspector and towards the bottom you should see a Group and Ungroup button. Also you go to the drop down menu Arrange > Ungroup to do the same effect.
    Layer, group, and lock objects
