Hyperlinks Transfer to PDF From Publisher 2007??

My hyperlinks in Publisher 2007 are not transferring to PDF.  I  have done a video to better explain it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lsB0Pv_XCs.
Thank  you for any help you can give.

Acrobat 9's PDFMaker supports creating links when you convert Publisher 2007 to PDF.
However, the "create link" option must be selected in PDFMaker's Configuration settings.
n.b,. For any Office 2007 application, Acrobat 8.1 or better is required.
Earlier releases do not support Office 2007.
Check you CS4 install. If needed, do the step updates of dot releases to get to the current dot release.
More specifically, for links "on"/"over" an image.
You need to assure that when you use Hyperlink in an Office application the link fully spans the image.
You'd want it to start somewhat to the left of the image and end somewhat to the right of the image.
(if that makes any sense  )
Else, in the PDF page content, the link can be "under" the image and not usable.
Be well...

  • Links do not work on Macs in document converted to PDF from Publisher 2007

    Not sure whether to post this under Acrobat Windows or Mac as the PDFs are generated on a Windows PC but the problem involves Macs.  I have come up against a very strange problem.  I have converted an MS Publisher document to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro on Windows 7.  The converted hyperlinks in this document work well on three separate Windows PCs (2 running XP, 1 running Windows 7) but when a Mac user views the PDF, the hyperlinks are not active.
    What could be the possible cause of this?  Any help appreciated.

    More than likely it's because they are not using Adobe Reader or Acrobat to view the file. Ask them to be sure they are not using Mac Preview or another third party PDF viewer.

  • Acrobat Pro 9.1 no longer creates PDFs from Word 2007

    I upgraded from Acrobat 7 to 9 specifically to gain more control over settings when making PDFs from Word 2007. This worked as I had hoped until the 9.1 vulnerability upgrade was installed. Now it will no longer create PDFs from Word 2007 documents at all.
    From within Word 2007, when I click on "Create PDF" (whether in the Office menu or Acrobat toolbar) it asks for a file name, but after I click "Save" does nothing. This is true even for the simplest possible document, using the "Default" settings for PDF "Preferences."
    If I right click the file name of the document in Windows Explorer, with Word 2007 closed, and click on "Convert to Adobe PDF" in the menu, it starts and the staus box comes up, but after a few seconds quits and displays "An unexpected error occurred. PDFMaker was unable produce the Adobe PDF."
    I can still "Save As" PDF in Word 2007, but this gives me little control over the format.
    Is there any way that I can get Acobat 9.1 to do what I bought it for, and what Adobe advertises it will do?

    Try printing to the Adobe PDF printer, the more fundamental process (PDF Maker is a preprocessor for the printer). If that does not work, then try with print-to-file selected. Open the file in Distiller and see if the PDF is created. If the latter happens, then check for AcroTray running in the background. It is required to automate the process and is needed by PDF Maker.

  • How do I keep my original text colours when converting from Publisher 2007 to PDF format?

    Recently I am finding that when I convert my Publisher 2007 documents to PDF, the text colours do not remain the same, but revert to black or grey?  Clip art retains its colours.  What am I doing wrong? 

    They won't show up unless
    you have click on each text box
    Go  Format  > Shape
    click on lines
    chose desired line color for the borders.
    once the Borders a colored they will show up in the created PDFs.

  • PDF from Word 2007 ends up with scrambled Chinese characters

    I have a problem with PDF files when converted from a Word 2007 document that includes Traditional Chinese characters and I hope someone might be able to help or point me in the right direction. After converting it to PDF via "Create PDF" from the Acrobat toolbar, the Chinese characters are all wrong. It looks like Chinese but none of the characters actually exist, it's all scrambled and useless. Converting English or German text works fine, so far, it's only the Traditional Chinese text that causes problems.
    The strange thing is that prior to installing Office 2007, all worked just fine. I could convert Chinese text from Word 2003 without any problems and other than updating to Word 2007, nothing has changed. Any idea where to start trouble shooting and how to fix it? I've already tried re-installing and reparing both Word and Acrobat but no improvement.
    OS: WinXP Professional SP3 (English system)
    Adobe: Master Collection CS4 (English)
    Acrobat: Acrobat 9 Pro v9.1.3 (English)
    PDF Maker: Conversion Settings are set to default "Smallest File Size Web"
    Word: Microsoft Office Word 2007 (12.0.6504.5000) SP2 MSO (12.0.6425.1000)
    Note: Using "Save As" and select "PDF or XPS" in Word 2007 works fine, the Chinese characters show up properly in the PDF file but I prefer using the PDF Maker from Acrobat to create my PDF files.

    I have found that WORD 2007, particularly with docx files, does some strange things to PDF files that you produce. It seems to break a perfectly good graphic into parts and send the parts to the PDF (not usually a problem unless you zoom in). We have tested with AA8 and AA7 with WORD 2007 and gotten these results. WORD 2003 worked like expected. It is almost as though MS decided to put some hooks in OFFICE 2007 for Acrobat. Normally with Acrobat, the graphics come out as a single graphic as stored in the application.
    Glad you got the character issue to work. I use a job.settings file that is distributed by a publisher to get an "optimized" form of product for posting. Of course, optimized is always in the eye of the beholder, but I have been happy with it.

  • Hyperlinks Truncating on Export from Access 2007

    I have a report in Access 2007 that includes a memo field in RTF format.  Quite often part of the text in this field will include one or more hyperlinks.  The hyperlinks work fine in Access.
    I export this report to .pdf using the following line of VBA code, attached to a button on a form:
    DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, stDocName, acFormatPDF, vrtSelectedItem & "\" & title & ".pdf"
    This code works fine, and the report is exported to the selected location properly.  And if the hyperlink text all fits on one line in the .pdf file, then the link works correctly there, too.
    The problem is when the hyperlink text ends up being wrapped around to a 2nd line or more.  The entire link still LOOKS like a link in the .pdf file (it's still blue/underlined), but only the first line is actually a hyperlink.
    For example, if the link text were:
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/
    acrobat/post!input.jspa?containterType=14
    ...then the only part that would actually be a hyperlink in the .pdf document would be "http://forums.adobe.com/community/" and the 2nd line of the link is lost.
    We have thousands of these hyperlinks all throughout our data, and many of them are more than one line long.  It is not feasible for us to shorten all of them using bit.ly.  Nor is it feasible for us to make our users copy and paste the broken links from the .pdf's into their browsers.
    So, does anyone know how to fix this so that the hyperlinks we pass to .pdf from Access remain complete hyperlinks, even if they are more than one line long?

    Finally figured out the solution myself, after 2 days.  It's surprisingly simple.
    If the URL is surrounded by double quotes in the data, then it works as a complete link when exported to .pdf, even if the link wraps to a 2nd line or more.  The quotes show up in the .pdf, too, but that's a small price to pay to have working links.

  • Unable to create PDF from Publisher file

    I am able to create .pdf from a .jpg, also from an .xls ... but not from a Publisher document (2007).
    I get a prompt to run in repair mode and I tried that (twice) but the problem is not being corrected.  At one point I had a message about PDFMOUTLOOK and thought I disabled it.   I tried both ways, from inside Publisher, and dire Any help will be greatly appreciated.ctly from Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro ... neither works.
    Below is the log:
    %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
    %%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%%
    Stack:
    -169
    -mark-
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    LinK

    Interestingly, "PDFMOUTLOOK" is apparenly related to PDF Maker for Outlook. It has also been suggested to be Malware (not good). That would suggest you may have some corruption. I am not saying you do, but just what is hinted at by a web search.
    In terms of the printing process. The Adobe PDF printer creates a PS file. With Acrotray active, this PS file causes Acrotray to activate Distiller in the background and complete the conversion of the PS file to PDF. That is the basic conversion process used by Acrobat to create PDF files. Distiller is always in the picture, it just may be running in the background. If Acrotray is not active, the process will stall. Since you are seeing a Distiller log screen, your process seems to be working.
    PDF Maker is basically a preprocessor for the Adobe PDF printer. The preprocessor inserts PDF Marks into the PS file that is created to allow the conversion to PDF to include bookmarks, links, etc. My suggestion about PDF Maker (since the print process seems to work) is that there may be something in PDF Maker that is causing the problem. From the web search, it appears it may even be a virus type of aspect that hit your PDF Maker. Again, I am not saying that is the case, only suggesting it as a possibility. If you can create the PDF from the printer, then the basic process of creating PDFs is working and it is then a process of checking out the problems with PDF Maker. For that, I typically suggest turning all of the options off and then adding them back in to see what triggers the problem. You are basically in a trouble shooting mode and need to isolate the problem.

  • How to transfer multiple pdfs from email to iPad ibooks

    Is there any way to transfer multiple files from email or imessage to ibooks on an Ipad?
    currently email opens each one then have to click on top to open in ibooks.  I have over 50 files and expect more to come.  I have tried hooking up ipad to the macbook that sent the files and put into ibooks that way, but it would require syncing all my media files.
    Icloud and airdrop have failed me miserably for PDFs transfer to my ipad.

    I don't know if this will help you, but for PDFs on my IPad  I use either Note Taker HD or EverNote. Both are available at App Store. However each one is a pay for app. Note Taker HD app is a one time fee. EverNote is monthly. There is also
    FileApp Pro. These are the apps I use. So I have immediate access to any and all PDF's in a second or 2. Note that these are my personal preferences only. Hope this helps. Cheers.

  • Problem with Hyperlinks - Creating Interactive PDF from an In-design Book

    Thanks for the reply. I got the IT to upgrade to 5.5 and it now works. Rather an annoying bug for CS5 though

  • Why won't copy/paste images appear in PDF (from Word 2007)?

    I find all places in a Word 2007 document where content copied from Power Point 2007 and then pasted into a Word 2007 document does not appear in the subsequent PDF file I generate. White space of the same size as the pasted content appears in its place. Why is this happening and are there any suggestions to work around this issue? What is curious is the free PDF creation tool that you can use to generate a PDF within Word 2007 (by choosing file save-as PDF) does NOT have this same issue. I don't want to use Word's tool since it doesn't allow for the option settings flexibility I need to produce the final PDF.
    I already tried saving the Word file as XML and then re-saving as Word .docx and regenerating the PDF from Acrobat: the graphics are still missing. I also tried in Acrobat Help> Repair Installation and then shut down/restarted my computer. Again, the regenerated PDF is missing the graphics.
    Personally, I do not use a copy/paste method; rather, I use insert>picture>from file or paste special as a grphic file type. I know the same graphics placed this way come out fine in a PDF I generate from Acrobat. However, I support a bunch of engineers who make copy/paste a shortcut habit. I will have no luck telling them not to do this.
    I appreciate any help with this.

    Preferences in Acrobat reader under Page Display are already set to Show Large Images. I assume that is the setting you mentioned.
    I don't know of any setting in Word 2007 that would make a difference. Does anyone else have work around suggestions?

  • Can't transfer iBooks pdfs from first gen iPad to new MacBook Pro

    I have a bunch of important pdf files on a first gen iPad (iOS 5.1.1) that I want to transfer to iBooks in a 13" MacBook Retina.
    In iTunes, choosing Devices >Transfer Purchases from My iPad isn't moving them over. I've been able to transfer all the non iBooks pdfs from GoodReader, etc. In iTunes, I can see them in the Books section of "On This iPad" but can't do anything but view info.
    In iBooks, choosing File >Move Books from iTunes isn't doing it either.
    Syncing warns me that it's going to delete the iPad files.
    I'd rather not pay for 3rd party software if I can avoid it.
    Thanks.

    No they're not in the iTunes library. Purchased titles transferred and a few other things but a bunch of DRM-free pdfs and DRM-free EPUBS won't Budge.
    "Or you don't see them with the iPad connected to the Mac, with iTunes running, the iPad selected under devices and then look in the books tab of iTunes on the right?"...
    No. However, if I go a couple tabs further to the right, to "On This iPad" and select Books in the left column, they're all listed. I just can't do anything but view their info or rate them.

  • Fast Web View breaking links/bookmarks in PDFs from Word 2007

    I'm running Acrobat Pro 8.1.2 on WinXP, and I recently noticed an issue with PDFs that I'm creating from Word 2007. If I turn on the setting "Save As optimizes for Fast Web View," any links or bookmarks in the file break when I do a Save As. If I turn the setting back off, Save As doesn't break them.
    I had had problems creating the PDFs using the PDFMaker plug-in for Word, so I used the Save As PDF or XPS feature from Microsoft instead.
    PDFs created using FrameMaker are not giving me problems.
    I don't know whether this is related, but the Settings button on the Save As dialog box is no longer active. I'm sure I was able to click it before, but I can't now. And that goes for PDFs from Word or FrameMaker.
    Anyone have any clues?

    This is related to a bug in the direct PDF output from Word 2007. I was told that Microsoft has fixed this bug in the final SP2 release (so when the service pack becomes available, this problem will not be present).
    Until then, the workaround is indeed to turn off the "Save As optimizes for Fast Web View" preference in Acrobat (Edit > Preferences > Documents, under Save Settings).

  • Shapes, Smart Art not showing in PDF from Word 2007

    Hi,
    I am having a strange problem. When I convert my Word 2007 document to PDF using Acrobat PDF, all the shapes and smart art that I created in Word 2007 is not appearing in the PDF.
    However, when I am converting either Microsoft Powerpoint or Microsoft Excel 2007 to PDF, the shapes and smart art are coming properly.
    Can anyone please help me. It is really really urgent for me.
    Regards,
    Ashish Agarwal

    How are you converting your document?  Try another way.  You can convert it by going to the Acrobat ribbon, or by printing it to Adobe PDF (just like you would to a normal printer but select Adobe PDF) or from within Acrobat (File>Create PDF>From File).  If this doesn't fix it try changing the PDF settings used to create it, e.g. smallest file size, Press Quality etc.

  • Cannot Generate a PDF from Word 2007

    I have inherited a 100-page file in Word 2007, and have just encountered a problem when generating a PDF.  (BTW, I have Adobe Reader installed, and I have not yet receieved Acrobat for generating a PDF.)  To reduce file size and to send the file to others in remote locations, I have been saving the Word 2007 file as a PDF, and it has been working up until today.  When the file generated a PDF, it stopped on page 33 and asked if I wanted to send an error report. I have not changed anything on that page.  There is a figure and a table on that page, in addition to some text.  What could be causing the file to stop generating a PDF?  I removed the table and figure, but still the file stops generating on the following page.  I also have checked to make sure I do not have any styles that seem out of place.  Could you provide me with some guidance on what kinds of things I should try and troubleshoot?  Thanks!

    If you only have Reader, you can not create a PDF. You would need Acrobat.
    If you are "saving" as a PDF from Word, you are using the Microsoft PDF utility rather than Adobe's. You'll want to ask Microsoft support.
