Hyperlinks won't work on some pages

Hi,
I created a document in CS3. I have lots of hyperlinks within the pdf, but for some reason all of the hyperlinks on specific pages won't work. I've even copied and pasted the hyperlinks from pages that do work. Please help!

Hi Sandeep,
Thanks for responding - in answer to your questions:
- there are no links to local files, all URL's starting http://www.
- I'm using Acrobat Pro X (although also checking it in plain old Acrobat Reader)
- I'm creating it with InDesign CS5
- The links are definitely there when I open it up in Acrobat. I've evn tried setting the links up using Acrobat to test if it was a problem exporting from InDesign but that also didn't work for them.
I'm checking with the client now about the version(s) of Acrobat Reader they're on and also asking them to check the links within it. Are there any settings their end which could stop them working do you know? They've told me older documents with URL hyperlinks are still working fine, so wouldn't appear to be that.
I'm afraid this file is confidential, so I can't really share.
The latest test I've tried are to create a new 'for web' document and that seems to have helped testing on a different machine, although I'm waiting to see if it's had any effect with the client. I cannot think of any other things to try right now!
Thanks for all your help - any more suggestions or advice you can offer will be much appreciated!
Regards,
Luke

Hyperlinks won't work on some (my client's) machines but are fine on others

Hi All,
I’m stuck on an infuriating problem and I'm really hoping someone here may be able to help.
I’ve created a report for a client which includes several hyperlinks to URL’s. These work perfectly on my PC, also on my MacBook (in both Acrobat and Preview) but the client is not seeing them at all – and they’re trying them on several machines apparently (both Mac & PC runing Acrobat Reader). I’ve had another friend test the PDF on his MacBook and he sees the links, but they don’t work entirely as they should.
I’ve been through all the Adobe help pages and thought I’d found the solution by unchecking the ‘Shared Hyperlink Destination’ box – but that’s not made any difference. I’ve played with the settings on exporting the PDF; I’ve tried the >Export> Adobe PDF (interactive) way; I’ve tried defining my own pre-set with Incldue-Hyperlinks checked; I’ve tried deleting the hyperlinks from InDesign and manually inserting them from inside Acrobat Pro – all to no avail!
HELP!
This is a new client with a whole stack of work lined up for me and this has been the only problem with this job – so I need to find a solution!!
Thanks,
Luke

Can't create new pdfs from powerpoint; either form within Adobe or within powerpoint. I could do this yesterday and today it won't work for some reason. The error says "an unexpected error occurred. PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF. How do I fix this?

Is there a log file in the document folder indicating what the problem was. There are a number of reasons that PDF creation may fail. You can try to print to the Adobe PDF printer to see if there is any indication in that process. The processing is different, but the same problems may show up with both processes.

Hyperlinks won't work when copied from h to v layout

hi there, just created a dps folio with lots of hyperlinks (InDesign CS6 everything updated to the latest version).
First in the h version I put a rectangle above the piece of content I wish to be clickable, choose 'hyperlinks' and put the link in it then inside the folio overlays I make sure 'open in folio' is selected. Second I copied the rectangle to the v version of the layout, resize it so it's covering the right content. Inside the hyperlinks panel I'll find the links, sometimes when the rectangle is selected the link shows up darkened, but most of the time when I select the copied rectangle nothing changes inside the hyperlinks-links panel. In that case I selected the rectangle and clicked again on the hyperlink so I think it's 'bind' again.
Testing the folio on the iPad everything works fine in the horizontal version, but when i try the vertical pages not 1 link is working.
When re-ensure the hyperlinks are present in the v version, I noticed that clicking on the rectangles some of them do not highlight any hyperlink but others do and none of both work on the iPad. Strange is also when I click a rectangle who does not highlight any hyperlink and I then select (apply??) the hyperlink inside the hyperlinks panel to 'bind' both together the document would not let me save the document as if there's nothing changed on it..
Is this a bug or what am I doing wrong?
any hints and tips welcome ;-)
I've just deleted the hyperlinks overlays and tried with buttons overlay and 'go to url'. That seems to works on both direction.

Thanks for the prompt reply.
I do not manage the group policy and I'll have it checked. One question though, if it is the policy then would it not affect Excel 2003 as well. When I use Excel 2003, I see buttons in toolbar, using which I convert excel file to pdf and first thing it does is scans for various things ( Hyperlinks is one of them ).
When I tried with excel 2007, I can convert excel file to PDF by selecting print option and selecting Adobe there. It converts the file but the hyper links won't work.
One thing I noticed that using the pdf conversion buttons in toolbar in excel will convert hyperlinks too.
My problem here is that I do not see Adobe Acrobat converstion buttons in Excel 2007.

Why does the visited link color change not work on some pages. this has only occurred in the past few weeks. 2 different computers Win 7 home pm Firefox 29

On some sites the visited link color does not change. I have checked all settings and they have not changed. I can make the problem change by unchecking the "allow pages to choose thier own colors" box , but the some pages do not display correctly. Things worked fine up to a few weeks ago. I feel it may be a glitch in firefox 29.

Can you try to start Firefox in Safe Mode to see if Firefox works properly with no error? You can start Firefox in Safe Mode below:
*'''Windows/Mac''': Go to Help > Restart with add-ons disabled
*'''Linux''': Run ''firefox -safe-mode'' in the Terminal/Konsole
If Firefox opens up fine with no problems, it's probably one of your extensions that's causing the issue. You can re-enable your add-ons one by one until you find the one that causes the issue upon being re-enabled.
You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*[[Image:new fx menu]] > Options/Preferences> Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*[[Image:new fx menu]] > Options/Preferences > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

Upgraded to 2.0.1 and the top screen won't work with some of the apps

Ever since I upgraded to 2.0.1, when I open any of the applications the top part of the screen won't respond with some of the applications. I know that the screen is working and not damaged because on the main menu application prompt I can click into the apps on the top part of the screen, but as soon as I get inside some of the applications weather it be the ipod or texting the top part of the screen won't respond. Anyone else have this problem and have solution for the problem

I had a similar issue when I upgraded last night to 2.0.1...everything went fine no issues last night that I could see...though I didn't make a single call until this morning after doing the upgrade...went to call in to work this morning and couldn't hear them they couldn't hear me and there was no sound whatsoever...turns out that somehow the 2.0.1 update caused my iPhone to go into a staus where it though it had my headphones in all the time...this resolved by following the information on this support document ( http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630?viewlocale=en_US ) finally was a reset of the iPhone (step #7) that seemed to resolve it for me...you might want to try this too.

Executable jar won't work under some directories

I don't know how this works under windows:
The executable jar file I have created will work in some directory locations but not others.
I had moved it to some folder and it stopped working. I moved it back to where it was before and
it worked. What I discovered was that it would work in folders that had no spaces in their names.
For example it would wouldn't work under 'My Documents'. Is this common?

I wouldn't say "common" but it does happen. There are known bugs in the java.io.File object when it tries to deal with filenames containing spaces. (I just ran into one of them myself last week.)
You may be able to fix your code to deal with whatever problem you are having. It's embarrassing to have to distribute an application saying "Don't put this in a directory with a space in its name" but I've installed software from a large company (one whose name is three initials) with just that statement in the installation instructions.

Won't Work with Microsoft Pages

I just downloaded Adobe and when I go online to create a PDF it tells me that it doesn't work with Mac Pages. What can I do?

Adobe is a company not a program. Are you talking about Adobe Reader? Adobe Acrobat? How are you trying to create pdf files online? If you are using acrobat.com, please use the forum for that service. If using the CreatePDFOnline website then use the forum for that service.

Wix Hyperlinks Won't Open in 'Same Page' - iWeb 09

I recently built a flash intro for my personal website (www.justinmiller.info) using Wix. It's basically some photos of me that you can hover over; the photo expands and you can click on it to be directed to one of the pages on my site.
I have embedded the code in iWeb, published the site, and the rollover effects work fine. The issue is that when I set the "go to URL" of each picture (in Wix) to open up in the same window, the links do not work. I've tried with both Safari and Firefox. If I set the links to open in NEW windows they will work, but this is hardly convenient for someone browsing my website. This one has me stumped.
My question, therefore, is why won't the links from my Wix widget open in the same window. Does anyone have any advice / tips on how I can make this work?
I should also mention that when I test my widget in Wix' "preview" pane, my links work as they are supposed to (either in same page or new page, as I have them set). It's only when I embed my widget in iWeb that they cease to open in the same page.
Cheers,
Justin

Hi Guys. Thanks so much for replying.
Cedric - I'm in 08. I posted in the 06 forum first by mistake. And I basically don't know "how" I built the site. I just kind of poked around like I usually do, trial by many errors.
Roddy - I've had the folder and index on my desktop. I hadn't previously uploaded the index and just did so but nothing's changed. My host company doesn't have an actual control panel. I have a feeling it's not a great one. At least for a beginner. Is there anything on their site I should be looking for?
Cyclo - I hadn't nothiced the Hear button working correctly, since I haven't actually been working there yet! You're right it works. I guess I do have to rebuild the text buttons as you say. I guess this is the down fall of not knowing HTML.
I really appreciate all the input folks.

Login action buttons no longer work and some pages not displaying correctly after upgrade.

After recent update, some web pages not displaying correctly and Login buttons on some sites do not work. I've updated my plugins and restarted computer, but problems remains. Is this Java, Javascript or something else? Same pages are working fine in IE.

Please update the firefox to the latest version of firefox 26
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
<b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

It seems that Java is not fully working in some pages

Because of a crash, I had to completely uninstall Firefox 3.5.3 and I installed Firefox 3.6.3. After that, some Java features are not working any more. Here I attached an example, where the "plus" buttons do nothing, but when opening the page with IE there is no problem to expand the "plus". I have many extensions installed, I have also tried to disable them (even running Firefox sercure mode), as well as reinstall the last Java version, but nothing yet (Java seems to be correctly installed, since other features work ok, and official Java web page test works ok as well).

Thank you very much for your explanation about Java and Javascript! Very interesting, I didn't know! :-)
Regarding your question... absolutely :-) it did work before. I have another example, but it is from a bank account and it is not public. It also worked before, but not any more. This is the code of the button (I don't know if this helps):
javascript:sacarParametros();frmExtracto.Accion.value='AvanzaRetrocede';frmExtracto.Seleccion.value='SIGUIENTE';Movimientos_Posteriores();
Thank you very much for your help!!

My hyperlinks won't work online. Help!?

Hi guys,
So basically i've set my hyperlinks to my menu bar in the property box as normal and they work fine in the live view local host. I uploaded all my website files to my remote server which was successful. When I type the my domain name into any internet browser my index page comes up exactly how i want it except that the menu links don't work when they are clicked. The only thing that happens is a '#' appearing at the end of the domain name. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Iweb links won't work for some people

Hi! I have recently made a website using iweb and most people have no troubles viewing all my pages (even if they appear slightly different than I designed them). I have gotten emails from a few people, however, saying they can't get to some of my pages.
My website is www.ccforkids.com and the links that are causing troubles are the ones at the bottom of the slings page (sizing, instructions, etc.) there might be others, but these are the ones I have recieved emails about.
Thanks for any help!

If other people are willing to try a different browser, that seems to be the best solution, yes. Without knowing exactly what isn't working for them, I wouldn't like to say there's nothing else you can do.
For example I find that IE for Mac (no longer supported by MS) doesn't show Apple's comments on blogs, so at the moment I'm using both those comments and iComment. I've also turned off the local iDisk, since that was making the running of both systems unworkable.

Auto-sleep won't work when web pages auto-refresh

Dear Apple,
Around 4 years ago, I noticed that my computer stopped going to sleep. I first noticed it shortly after adopting Gmail for my email platform and was subsequently able to isolate the issue down to Gmail and other websites, such as Huffington Post, which auto-refresh. Apparently, any website that auto-refreshes at shorter intervals than the auto-sleep is set to kick in, prevent the computer's auto-sleep function from activating.
I have spoken at length with AppleCare about this issue and understand that this is "by design." For instance, we wouldn't want the computer to constantly go to sleep while watching a movie or downloading and conversely, if we are actively working at our computers it's nice that Gmail auto-refreshes and keeps us appraised of incoming mail. However, since the vast majority of users now leave their browsers with multiple tabs open and due to the fact that more and more websites now auto-refresh, the auto-sleep function has become outdated and non-functional. While users can always manually put their computers to sleep, everyone at some time or another forgets to do so. This is exactly why computers are supposed to auto-sleep in the first place. Aggregated across millions of users, this results in a huge waste of electricity.
I've been writing/calling Apple (through AppleCare and the online feedback form) about this issue for 4 years now. I keep hoping that with each operating system release, some sort of "smart auto-sleep" function will be incorporated that will recognize when websites auto-refresh and still allow auto-sleep to kick in. Unfortunately, this does not appear to be the case in Lion.
I work in the energy efficiency field, specifically in lighting, and care deeply about this issue. I consider Apple to be an industry leader on this issue as well. I'm not familiar with the technical side of this issue, but I assume that with the right type of programming, the operating system could override a webpage's auto-update feature and activate auto-sleep, while not interfering with functions where a user would not want the computer to go to sleep, such as watching a movie. With Lion, Apple has focused its energy on making the computer adjust to the user,rather than the user adjusting to the computer. Yet, in this case, it appears to be the other way around.
It is time for Apple to update the auto-sleep function so that it takes into account websites that auto-refresh. When I set my computer to auto-sleep after so many minutes, I want it to do so, regardless of whether I have a browser with auto-updating websites open. Apple must take this issue seriously, as the wasted electricity is too important to ignore any longer.
Sincerely,
An Energy-Conscious User

I am obviously talking to Apple AND I posted this letter here, because a lot users seem confused about why their computers won't sleep. Even most AppleCare reps are confused. In the past, I couldn't find much in the way of explanations pointing to this issue, so I thought I post it here in case other people are looking for an explanation.
The auto-sleep function was built before websites auto-updated and needs to be updated to accomodate them. For the average user, it doesn't make sense for the computer not to sleep just because Gmail is open. Just because some website auto-refreshes in my browser, doesn't mean I never want my computer to sleep. By the same token, if I wanted to turn off auto-sleep I could easily do so from within Energy Saver Preferences. The two should be independent, so the user has the choice.
Why should I have to close my browser every time I walk away from my computer in order for it to sleep? I've acknowledged that in certain circumstance it makes sense for the computer not to auto-sleep: watching a movie, uploading, etc, but Apple has already accounted for those instances because the computer does not auto-sleep when those programs are running. All I'm suggesting is making the auto-sleep mechanism more sophisticated so that it isn't overridden by websites auto-refreshing.
Why the negative attitude, dwb? Based on the amount of time you spend in these discussion forums, you obviously never turn your computer off, so this doesn't really affect you. Maybe it's time to step outside and get some fresh air?

Why won't Firefox load some pages correctly?

On my everydayhealth.com site where I keep my fitness journal, suddenly the graphics are gone and all I have is a page with text and numbers on it. After it switches to this text page, at the very top it will say "Location TemplateTop not found in page 40811."
On another site I shop all the time, sephora.com, when I would click on a makeup area I want to go it would give me an oops page and tell me I have ventured into some unknown beauty territory.
I thought NoScript was causing this so I disabled it. Since doing that my Sephora site seems to be working. And initially my diet journal seemed to come back too. But then the journal page again flipped to this text and numbers page with that message at the top. Sephora seems to still be working.

More specifically, after logging in, go to the support forum at (https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions), then you should see the "My Contributions" link.
Despite their similar names, Java and JavaScript are two completely separate things. Java is used for Java applets, and JavaScript is used for interactivity in pages. NoScript prevents JavaScript (and Java) code from executing in pages unless its explicitly allowed.
JavaScript in particular is a technology that many web developers rely on, and expect browsers to have enabled. While developers should properly handle the use case where someone has JavaScript disabled, many don't, either because they don't want to spend a bunch of time coding for what probably amounts to 0.1% of their users (most of whom will allow JavaScript on pages they trust), they simply forgot to handle it, or their site would be impossible without it.
I'm not familiar enough with NoScript to walk you through it, but what you need to do is add exceptions for the sites that aren't working properly. Try their [http://noscript.net/faq FAQ ]or [http://forums.informaction.com/viewforum.php?f=3 forum].
Again, this problem almost definitely has nothing to do with Firefox itself--you should get in touch with the owners of the sites in question, or with the NoScript folks.
