Hyperlinks within .PDF document won't open in browser.

So what I want to happen is when I click a hyperlink within a .PDF file which is opened via Adobe Reader XI, I want a new tab/browser (the link) to be opened with/in Chrome.
Currently when I hover my mouse over a link, it turns into a clicky hand thing with a tiny letter 'w' and the address floats above in a box. When I try to shift/normal/ctrl click the link, nothing happens.
Default settings in the reader and chrome.
Thanks!

Yes. If I open this .pdf file in chrome and click the link, a new tab will open with the link.
Also, I just found something else out. When I open the settings in Adobe Reader and try clicking on the 'help' links such as 'What is protected view' under 'security', I get a message saying "Online help content cannot be displayed. Verify you can launch your web browser and have access to the Internet".

PDF documents won't open in browser page

I've been having trouble with Safari lately. This is my main browser, and whenever I try to open any PDF documents, I get an error message that goes something like "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found." Whenever I have to see a PDF document, I have to open another browser (IE 9) and paste the URL in order to view the document. I...think that this error has been showing up ever since I updated Adobe Reader... =/
Is there any way that I can fix this?
* Currently have Safari 5.0.2

think that this error has been showing up ever since I updated Adobe Reader
By way of experiment, if you uninstall and reinstall your Adobe Reader, does Safari still display the same behavior?
(Wondering here if your nppdf32.dll, which controls the Adobe PDF plugin, might be slightly damaged. I think the relevant copy of the file that Safari uses lives in the Reader files. If so, a reinstall of Reader may help.)

Pdf document won't open

Hyperlinks within .pdf documents not working IMac Safari

I am working with a website that displays several .pdf documents. The documents contain hyperlinks to urls. Everything works fine in other browsers, but in Safari, these hyperlinks do not work. The cursor does not change when it enters the hyperlink space, and nothing happens if the link is clicked. I am using an IMac running OS 10.6. 8 and Safari 5.1.10. I have tried both the native (Preview) option and a plug-in. Neither makes any difference. Can anyone suggest a fix other than abandoning Safari?

I am a new user to OnLINE Adobe. My hyperlinks from Word
documents do not transfer to the PDF files. Please help!!!

Some pdf files won't open in browser while others do - how to fix that?

Hello,
just switched from Opera to Firefox and - with the help of some add-ons - feel pretty satisfied already.
One annoying problem though: While many pdf-files will open properly with PDF-XChange Viewer plugin within the browser, there are many websites with links to pdf files where the setting "Use PDF-XChange Viewer (within Firefox)" prompts Firefox to download the file instead.
Examples:
http://www.visitbritainshop.com/nordics/travel-transport/london-transport.html
The map of London Transport (link in the middle of the site) will open within the browser
http://search.knightfrank.co.uk/ngh140118
The floorplan or the brochure won't open within the browser but be downloaded instead
I've never experienced this (in Opera) before.
What could be the reason for that? And is there a way to change it?
Thanks in advance!

While trying to find a solution for that issue, I stumbled across a post that describes a similar problem with jpegs:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/979919
One reply suggests: "Are you sure that these images are send with a proper MIME type for images and not with a generic MIME type that makes Firefox show the "Open with" dialog? "
The suggested solution, an extension called Open-in-Browser https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/open-in-browser/
works fine regarding the pdfs in question, and is acceptable for me, although I agree with the poster from above, that " it is a bug that should be fixed instead of relying on an extension".

Pdf documents won't open for me

When in a web site like the VA Portal or local Board of Realtors, when I try to open .pdf files, all I get is a "x" boxed, in the upper left corner. How can I get them to open? I have Acrobat X, fully updated.

think that this error has been showing up ever since I updated Adobe Reader

Reader 10 x, IE 8, Windows XP SP3 - PDF files won't open in browser

We have users that can open a PDF file from our web site in Firefox and Chrome but not with IE8.
Items come up with a blank screen in the browser.
It seems to deal with the pop up blocker - the pages are catergorized as "unknown zone" and thus are blocked. I haven't been able to figure out how to add that to the allowed sites. The files are in our domain with /directory name/*.pdf
Users can right click, save and open seperately but not all our users are educated well enough to go through all those steps.
This site gives the parameters of the problem but other than saying display the PDF in another window - ie save and read it outside the browser, it doesn't offer a solution other than that - http://www.bnl.gov/itd/webapps/pdf_help.asp
I have checked the users machines and they have the items under Preferences - Internet - all items checked.
Thoughts?

Can the files be opened in Preview? If they can, then at least you will know that they are not empty or corrupted.

PDF documents doesn´t open in browser!

When i enter to a page with pdf content it don´t shows on the browser instead it downloads to the desktop! i need to fix it! any help?

Try re-installing the "Adobe Acrobat Reader", even if the full version is already installed. They are different programs.
If you need help with the Acrobat plugin for Safari, Adobe's site should have more information on their plugin.

Pdf files won't open in Safari running on a Mac

I just upgraded my MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard in preparation for Lion and ever since the upgrade, pdf files won't open in Safari. I have Reader 9.4.5. It opens documents that are on my machine, it just won't open in Safari, nor do the documents download.

MIght be helpful to disable Adobe plugin by going to Adobe Reader's Preferences -> Internet and unchecking "Display PDF in browser using".
Then dump the atrocious bloated Reader.
See this https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3252667?start=0&tstart=0 for further solutions.

Insert hyperlinks in pdf-documents

Since Mavericks you can´t insert hyperlinks in pdf-documents. I miss this option in the preview. Are there any other possibilities?
(I have MS Office for apple, therefore the links get lost, if I convert it to pdf).

No one here can guess what "Apple wants." This is just an end user forum. There are open source alternatives to Pages and Office you may want to research: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6941
http://www.apple.com/feedback is where you can put your two cents if you so desire to get Apple to consider them.

Word2007 hyperlinks to pdf documents

I have a word2007 docx that contains several hyperlinks to pdf documents. With ctrl-click to one of the links, the acrobat reader always opens and changes its window to maximized mode. I can override the page display options in the reader to always display "single page - continuous" and 100%, but there is no option to always open in normal mode for the window size.
Is there a way to avoid this maximizing?

I have the same issue. This is unacceptable!

Pdf sent won't open beyond cover sheet? how to allow click thru of all files?

pdf sent won't open beyond cover sheet? how to allow click thru of all files?

That's handy, because I can run gmail and Chrome too.
Ok, I sent myself a PDF attachment. I'm going to go step by step through what happened
to me, and you can tell me where your experience becomes different.
1. The email shows a preview of the top part of page 1 for the attachment.
2. I hover over the preview and I get two icons, "Download" and "Save to drive".
3. I click Download.
4. The attachment downloads and I see it in the status bar.
5. I click on the document in the status bar. It opens to page 1, but I can use the
scroll bar to read all of the pages.
6. I hover in the bottom right of the page, until Chrome's PDF toolbar appears.
7. I click the save icon.
8. I save the file to my desktop.
9. I open the file from my desktop. It also has all pages.
