Hi Adriana,
I stay away from Firefox for this very reason. It doesn't seem to show things as well as IE. I don't know if this is because I am missing some plugins, but have you tried using IE.
Possible solution:
It seems that Firefox >1.5 needs to have its security settings changed, using a user.js file, before it will activate links to files. Chrome has similar drawbacks. This browser requires a plugin installed before links to files work properly (see https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/jllpkdkcdjndhggodimiphkghogcpida)
I have also seen the Allow / Block message. It isn't there all the time, but I suspect it has something to do with access rights to the drive / directory / folder where the PDF is stored. I have learned to just live with this.
Note, it is important that you use the correct number of slashes. Previously, Firefox (<1.5) required 5 forward slashes in the link path.

  • Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?

    Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?
    Depending on the system version, and Office Word version:
    - a pure URL link starting with http or even www sometimes works in PDF, either produced by Aperçu or Adobe, sometimes does not work;
    - other kind of links where the text under display is not a URL, never work!
    I like everything with Apple computers and software, except PDF generation. Output files are usually bigger in size, and no better quality, than under Windows. Furthermore, it is weird that something as common as hyperlinks does not work correctly!
    I related this question with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but the problem is still there with Mac OS Lion.
    This problem seems to have been around for years, without any proper solution from Apple and/or Adobe! To me, this is very embarrassing!

    Greetings NoNameGiven,
    If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.

  • Pdf hypertext

    if I use print->save as pdf to "print" a web page into a pdf, is there a way to make the url hypertexts to remain active/clickable in the pdf?
    my attempts show that the hypertext links generated this way are not active when viewed using Preview, adobe reader in a windows environment, adobe reader in a blackberry playbook.
    Thanks.

  • PDF-Portfolio: link doesn't open a document in a new window

    Hello,
    i use Acrobat 9 Pro on Win XP SP3.
    I will use a link from a maindocument into a PDF-portfolio to another Portfolio document in the same file.
    But the (linked) document should be open in a new window.
    I can customize the option: targetdocument open in a new window, but this option/function doesn't work.
    The document will always open in the same portfolio-window.
    (Create link with link tool>add action>go to a page view in another doc> set link> edit action> open targetdocument in: a new window)
    sorry, for the description, but i have only the german GUI.
    Is there a change to use a JavaScript in the link?
    Thanks for response, maikro.

  • Link Item Style to open a PDF hangs if opened in IE in 30 seconds

    Hi,
    I am using Jdeveloper version 9.0.3.
    I have a page in which, I have an advanced table, in which there is a column, with item style - link.
    On the link item there is a PPR event and it should open a PDF file, residing on the server.
    I am using java code to open the PDF file.
    In Internet Explorer, the link doesnt work, infact the Explorer hangs and the user has to exit the window.
    This doesnt happen in Firefox. However, this is critical as , use of firefox is not allowed, and the users have to ultimately use IE.
    Below is the java code for opening the PDF file from the server:
    public void downloadFileFromServer(OAPageContext pageContext, String file_name_with_path, String file_name_with_ext)
    HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) pageContext.getRenderingContext().getServletResponse();
    if (file_name_with_path == null || "".equals(file_name_with_path)){
    throw new OAException("File path is invalid.");
    File fileToDownload = null;
    try{
    fileToDownload = new File(file_name_with_path);
    }catch (Exception e){
    throw new OAException("Invalid File Path or file does not exist.");
    if (!fileToDownload.exists()){
    throw new OAException("File does not exist.");
    if (!fileToDownload.canRead()){
    throw new OAException("Not Able to read the file.");
    String fileType = getMimeType(file_name_with_ext);
    response.setContentType(fileType);
    response.setContentLength((int)fileToDownload.length());
    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + file_name_with_ext + "\"");
    InputStream in = null;
    ServletOutputStream outs = null;
    try{
    outs = response.getOutputStream();
    in = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(fileToDownload));
    int ch;
    while ((ch = in.read()) != -1){
    outs.write(ch);
    }catch (IOException e){
    e.printStackTrace();
    }finally{
    try{
    outs.flush();
    outs.close();
    if (in != null){
    in.close();
    }catch (Exception e){
    e.printStackTrace();
    }//end catch
    }//end finally
    }//end method
    public String getMimeType(String s)
    int i = s.lastIndexOf(".");
    if (i > 0 && i < s.length() - 1){
    String s1 = s.substring(i + 1);
    if (s1.equalsIgnoreCase("pdf")){
    return "application/pdf";
    }//end if
    }//end if
    return "application/octet-stream";
    }//end method

    Hi Kristofer,
    We did look at the possibility for using messageDownload bean instead of a link, but we do not want to store the file as a LOB.
    The file needs to be stored in the server location.
    Any clue as to why the file opened in the browser ( on clicking on the link) hangs and this is happening only in IE.
    Thanks,
    AJ

  • Table of Contents links not working after conversion to PDF

    I have created links in a MS Word 2007 document, including in a Table of Contents, a List of Tables, as well as internal cross-reference links.  I have converted to a pdf file using Acrobat 9 Pro.  All the links were retained except for the page links in the Table of Contents.  Does anyone have any insight into how to correct this error?

    MG,
    You can get links to work in Numbers documents that have been converted to PDF, but it's quirky.
    No links survive Printing to PDF
    Links outside of tables (links in text boxes, etc.) survive Export in Sheet View
    Links inside and outside tables survive export in Page View

  • How do I download pdfs from link without opening first in Safari?

    I am running OS 10.7.2 and browse with Safari 5.1.2.  I download PDF files routinely for my work.  In previous versions of Safari (with OS 10.5.x), clicking a link to download a PDF led to the PDF immediately downloading and then opening in Adobe Acrobat Pro.  Since upgrading to current system and Safari, I can no longer do that.  Clicking on PDF links opens in Safari, and then I have to find and click Safari's download button, and then I have to go to the downloads folder and click to open the document.  Does anyone know how to bypass this opening feature and get Safari to just download and then get the pdf to instantly open like it used to?  I am finding myself moving to Firefox, which I don't like as well and don't know as well, because it doesn't interfere with PDF docs. 
    Any solutions out there?

    Thanks for the suggestion, but those are the settings I'm already using.  Unfortunately, the various websites I visit don't respond uniformly to control-click, and choosing to download a file from that menu often just downloads an HTML of the page rather than the pdf doc itself.  I find shift-option-click works more often than other key combos, but I still have to then go to the downloads folder and manually open the file. 
    You may be right about Firefox being my only option.  Thanks for the suggestions.

  • Pdf's Links and Bookmarks

    Hello,
    I know you can add links and bookmarks within a pdf, that will take you to other areas of that particular pdf.  However, I need to put a link or bookmark into a pdf that will allow a user to click on a link in Captivate, Flash, Dreamweaver, etc and be taken directly to that section within the pdf.
    Can you create a link on a website that will take you to a particular spot within a pdf?  Or will it just open the pdf and display the first page, and then the user would have to scroll to that section?
    If this can't be done, what is a good solution?

    Thanks so much!

  • Can't open pdf file linked through a ASPX link in Safari

    I'm a new Mac user so sorry if this is basic. It appears when I click on a link in Safari that should open a PDF file (link uses a ASP link) I get the download box instead. I can download the file to my desktop and open it with adobe from there. I just downloaded the latest adobe reader. This is a new intel iMac (10.4.8). If I click directly on a link to a PDF file it opens in Safari with no problem. The specific link I'm having trouble with is :
    http://www.rochester.k12.mi.us/download.aspx?ft=MzAwMTV8fHwyNC4xOTIuMTM5LjE4NXx8 MS8yLzIwMDcgODo0OTozNyBQTQ%3D%3D
    It seems to see the file as having a ".pdf.exe" extension so doesn't open it with adobe but sees it as an application so offers to download or cancel.
    Really clicking on any PDF link from this page causes the same problem : http://www.rochester.k12.mi.us/index.asp?folder=15700&name=Physical%20Science
    These links act OK using IE. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks...Jim

    Sorry for the insufficient info.
    My environment is Windows 7 64bit.
    The PDF was converted from Word file and for example the link which should open a local file was working on version 10.1.1.33 (like first picture below) but not anymore after updating to 10.1.4(second one).
    Can you help me with this?

  • Issue with opening PDF file link from Safari

    Hi Everyone,
    I got a problem with opening PDF file link from Safari 4.04. Instead of getting a normal pdf content, it shows some weird characters. Not sure it is something wrong with Adobe Reader Plugin or Safari?
    I have uploaded a screenshot of the issue in the adobe forum (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/531870). Please help!
    Many Thanks,
    John

    There's nothing wrong, except the fact that you have Adobe Reader installed. You don't need it, so get rid of it; it will only cause problems with Safari. What you're seeing is the contents of the PDF file, rather than having it displayed.
    If you want to download a PDF file, you can either Control-click on the link and choose "Download Linked File As…", or you can Option-click on the link for the file and it will be downloaded to your Download folder (usually your Desktop).
    If you want to view a PDF file in Safari, you don't need Adobe Reader; Safari is perfectly capable of doing this by itself and has been for years. Adobe Reader will only get in the way and slow everything down.

  • Link to a chapter of another pdf document

    In brief:
    I want to insert links from a pdf document to a section or chapter of a different pdf document. ¿How can I do this? (The documents are done with Word and then passed to pdf)
    In detail:
    The documents are originally done with word and then passed to pdf. I have been able to insert links to a page number. I did this by putting the document in a web server and using a link similar to this (to link to page 2):
    http://domayname/doc1.pdf#page=2
    I read that to link to a named destination you could use links of the type:
    http://domayname/doc1.pdf#nameddest=destinationname
    or:
    http://domayname/doc1.pdf#destinationname
    But this does not work for me.
    Perhaps the problem is that where I am trying to link it is not even a named destination. What I have is a word document with headings for the different chapters and I want to convert them to pdf and link to those headings. I don’t know if the headings are converted to named destinations.
    I am using Word 2010 (which saves the documents as pdf) and Adobe Reader and, If possible I, would like to do this without any extra tool unless it is free.
    Kind regards

    Thank you.
    But Acrobat is necessary only to create the PDFs ore also for navigating between them?

  • Help packaging a PDF with links

    Hey everyone, I'm sorry if this has been asked and answered already but I couldn't find it using the search. I have a PDF file that I have embedded a bunch of links to other local files in. Both the PDF and the files that are linked to are in one common folder. I would like to merge them all into one package but maintain the link integrity. So, I would have a single file but when I click on the sentence, it would take me to the linked file within that package. If thats not possible, is there a way to print the PDF but also show the links within the PDF? Kind of like the "reveal codes" type feature where you can see that think sentence links to that file, etc. Thanks for your help!
    Brian

    When you combine PDFs into a Package (Acrobat 8) or a Portfolio (Acrobat 9 & X) links present between two PDFs that are combined into the Package / Portfolio  are broken. The PDFs combined into a Package/Portfolio become attachments to the new PDF created (the Package/Portfolio).
    The links between PDFs are between descrete stand alone PDF files not between files that are attachments in the new PDF.
    Once PDFs are combined into the new Package/Portfolio PDF you can use the Link Tool to create links.
    The PDF annotation that is a "link" does not have a "reveal codes" functionality.
    Keep in mind that PDF is very much a different thing from word processing or layout file formats.

  • Opening Sharepoint PDF from link

    We have enabled the ability to check in and check out document in SharePoint for PDF docs.  This all works fine in the SharePoint interface, but when users send links to pdf documents in an e-mail. When you click the link the pdf opens but there is no check in or out options available. When you check the doc properties the PDF is being opened in a temp folder.
    How can I get explorer or adobe acrobat to recognise that the doc is in SharePoint?
    This does not happen when you click on link to word or excel documents.

    Hi same problem here but only on Windows 7 in Acrobat Reader. Full Acrobat on Windows and Mac ok, and Reader on Mac works fine too. I've got a pdf with links to other pdfs. On windows I have to click 'Allow' each time I reopen the document. Very annoying, especially that Mac versions seems to work just fine. Tom
