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!!!

  • PDF links not working in Safari?

    I'm noticing that links in PDFs (made with Acrobat 9) are not accessible when viewing the PDF in Safari (although they do work in iBooks). Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

    I don't beleive Safari for iOS opens PDF documents natively. You may need a reader, such as Goodreader to open them.
    Correction - it does open the PDFs in the browser (but gives a choice of otherapps). My mistake

  • Hit highlighting (PDF) is not working with Safari

    We have been facing a weird problem with PDF documents displayed in Safari. This problem is reproducible in many of our machines. The problem is like this..
    Adobe Reader has support for hit highlighting in PDF documents when it is being viewed in any browser. For example,
    http://www.mysite.com/myfile.pdf#xml=http://www.somesite.com/words.txt
    This URL should highlight the words specified in words.txt file. But, unfortunately many of our Safari browsers (on Windows machines) don't highlight any text in opened pdf file. The same URL works fine in rest of the browsers (IE, Firefox and Chrome). I could not figure out where the problem is!
    Can anybody please help me on this?
    Thanks in advance,

    Go step by step and test.
    1. If adware is installed without your knowledge,
        download  free AdwareMedic by clicking “Download ” from here
         http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php
       Install , open,  and run it by clicking “Scan for Adware” button   to remove adware.
       Once scanning and removing the adware is done, quit the app by clicking AdMedic in the menubar
        and selecting “Quit AdwareMedic”.
    Safari
    2. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
        Turn those off one by one and relaunch Safari again to test

  • Hyperlinks to pdf file not working

    I hope someone will be able to help me. I have been using PDF
    converter online for awhile now and on some of my websites. I know
    how to use hyperlinks (I am a webdesiger). All of a sudden, my
    hyperlinks are not working on any NEW ones I create. I click on the
    link on the website and it comes up with Error 404, Page not found.
    I am using regular word documents.
    The support team keeps instructing me on how to set up
    hyperlinks - I know how to do that.
    Is anyone else having this problem?
    Thanks!

  • PDF view not working in Safari

    When I try and open a PDF from a web site in Safari, I get a black screen. Seems like the Adobe plug in is not working. What can I do?

    Mavericks has implemented some new sceurity measures. When I open a PDF from a website I have not makred as trusted I get the black screen you describe but there's also a box to click to activate the Adobe plugin. If I click that option I then get a dialog window asking me if I "trust" the website. Clicking the Trust option then opens the PDF in my browser window. Once you have "trusted" a website you can open PDFs on that site without going through the above options. You can override this security by going to Safari preferences and clicking the Security tab, then the Manage Website Settings option. There you can turn off this security measure and allow all sites to use the Adobe Reader plugin. Or you can set specific sites to allow or block the plugin.
    Also make sure you have the latest Adobe plugin installed on your system.

  • Hyperlinks to pdf files not working when project is exported out as SWF and uploaded to server

    hI all
    I'm using CS5 and i have hyperlinks to pdf files in my indesign project. However when i export to SWF, although the links work locally, they do not work when i upload all the relevant folders and files and test it from a server the links to the pdfs can not be found, the error messages indicates its looking for the files on my hard drive. I have also noticed that if i copy all the relevant folders and files and exported swf to a different directory and then launch swf from there the links do not work there either.
    Other than seperately uploading each pdf indvidually on to the server and then creating a hyperlink to it from the local indesign project i don't know what else to do.
    Any advice much appreciated.

    I have your same problem, but didn't consider uploading the PDFs and then linking to them. I'm willing to try it. Let me know if you ever found a better way, ok?
    Thanks.

  • Help! InDesign interactive PDF buttons not working in Safari or on iPad

    I made an infographic in Indesign for our university magazine with a QR code to link to an interactive pdf. Nothing too complicated animation wise, simply buttons that you can click on to view different parts of the graphic. However, the buttons are not working at all in Safari and on the iPhone and iPad, the buttons disapear completley. Please help.
    http://bit.ly/yrTN4R?r=qr
    Thanks,
    Gretchen

    Whether buttons work correctly in a PDF file depend entirely on what PDF reader you're using. Here are a couple of important facts:
    * While corrected created interactive PDFs will display correctly in the FREE Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat, they probably won't display correctly in Apple's Preview application which is probably what you're viewing in Safari.
    * None of the PDF readers currently available on an iPad (e.g., iBooks, GoodReader, etc.) correctly handle interactivity like buttons on an iPad.

  • Initial View set in PDF Document not working.

    I have a PDF document w/Initial View in the Document Properties set to Navigation tab: 'Bookmarks panel and Page', and Open to page '1''.  However, when I send this document out, the Initial View settings do not happen (The PDF opens to the page last accessed before the document was sent and the navigation pane does not display).  Help - what am I missing or doing wrong when trying to distribute PDF?
    I am using Acrobat X Pro.

    It might be the settings in Acrobat that is causing the problem. Edit – Preferences…, under Categories select Documents. Uncheck Restore last view settings when reopening documents.

  • 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".

  • Imbedded link to downloadable .PDF file not working in Safari

    Two questions:
    I imbedded a text link that is supposed to download a .PDF file from my iDisk. However, when I click the text link from my Safari browser I get this error message:
    "“A network error occurred while accessing this document on the Internet. Would you like to close the document or reload it?”
    When I retry by pasting my iWeb published page into Mozilla, the linked file downloads quickly with no problem. However, when I paste it into Internet Explorer's browser, it takes about 4 minutes to download!
    Second question: I can't seem to link an image that I inserted on a "My Photos" template page. There is no way to select the image--when I do, it just shows the "blue box" around the image but it doesn't actually select the image itself so I can link it.
    I was able to link images in my .Mac pages so I don't know why I can't on iWeb.
    If anyone wants to try it, here is the link to that page. ONLY CLICK ON THE BERMUDA AMEX TRAVEL PLANNER TEXT as that is the only link I've imbedded thus far. This page is obviously still under construction.

    This is correct, you cannot make the image holders hyperlinks. The solution is to put a Shape over the top of the image that you want to be a link, then Opn Inspector, Graphic Link and make the Opacity 1%, no more no less. Then make this shape a link. Beware that this image will still display in a slideshow and if you insert more images and it moves, the shape will not move with it.
    You may also want to click on the shape and then go Arrange > Bring to Front.

  • HELP!!!! I have spent hours trying to find out how to embed an image with a link or a Microsoft Word document with a hyperlink built within the document -- not as an attachment! Does ANYONE know the secret? Can it be done, or not! My PC clients do it.

    HELP!!!! I have spent hours trying to find out how to embed an image with a link, or embed a Microsoft Word document with a hyperlink built within the document -- not as an attachment into my email -- but where it shows as the email content when opened! Does ANYONE know the secret? Can it be done, or not? My PC clients do it all the time easily. Then I want to be able to send the embedded image/document (not as an attachment, but visable within the email when opened) to many email contacts at once, BUT the individuals receiveing them DO NOT SEE the other email contacts. Cannot seem to be able to find anything on being able to do these 2 tasks.PLEASE, SOMEONE, HELP!!!

  • Why hyperlink color change not working with Safari?

    With several sites I visit when I click on their text link lists I see a colored symbol change to let remind me I visited that site. Unfortunately this only works when I use Firefox or IE, not Safari. Is there a reason this does not work with Safari? Is there anything I can do? thanks.
    Safari 3.2.1

    Hi ..
    YouTube content requires Flash.
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
    Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
    Not empty the Safari cache.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:  Show Develop menu in menu bar
    Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
    Now try a video. If you still have problems, try troubleshooting Safari extensions.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

  • Using 10.6.8, internet pdf documents not opening using Adobe Reader; how is this corrected?

    Using 10.6.8, internet pdf documents not opening using Adobe Reader; how is this corrected?  I've tried changing "sharing and permissions" to "read and write" as suggested on other help sites, but this did not correct the problem.

    I had the same problem---contacted Adobe and their service rep helped me by
    A.   Deleting  Adobe Reader from my iMac's Applications in Finder
    B.   Downloading Google Chrome browser and then
    C.   Downloading the latest Adobe Reader for Mac 10.6.8 in Google Chrome--it works
    Adobe acknowledges problem with the latest Snow Leopard update 10.6.8 and with this work around, I can open PDF's using the Google Chrome Browser.
    Is this the ideal solution---NO.  Safari is my main browser. I now have to use a separate browser for PDF's.
    Am I happy to be able to open PDF's---YES
    You can't believe the time I spent to solve this problem before calling Adobe for help. My Apple Care policy expired a month ago . As I use Photoshop Elements, I was not charged by Adobe for their help on the telephone.

  • Photos in pdf documents not showing on iPhone or iPad

    I notice that when I create a PDF document on my iMac that includes photos and some grpahics work, when I go to view the document on my iPhone 4, iPhone 3 or iPad that about 80% of the photos do not show even though they look fine on the iMac... Why is this?

    Currently both are active. I don't want to have all of my photos on the icloud.  So should I only be using "icloud photo sharing"?
    I created an album on my iphone and this album shows up on my ipad and macbook pro.  However, I created another album on my macbook and this new album doesn't show up on either my iphone or ipad.
    These albums are not shared albums...they are only albums for me. Isn't "icloud photo sharing" different from the albums I speaking about?  My understandind is "icloud photo sharing" is for sharing my albums with friends and family.
    Thanks for your help
