I am having problems getting my hyperlinks to PDF files to work

It seems that since this recent update, the links to my PDF files don't work. You can only highlight the files but the PDF does not download. Can anyone help me fix this or should I reload iWeb and not update it until they fix it? The website is arlingtonwomensclub.com if anyone wants to try the links.

I do see your problem, and I have a possible solution for you...
Here is the (working) link to your PDF file...
http://arlingtonwomensclub.com/Town-Wide%20Garage%20Sale_files/Arlington%20Women %25d5s%20Club%20Garage%20Sale.pdf
And here is the (non-working) hyperlink that is on your page...
http://arlingtonwomensclub.com/Town-Wide%20Garage%20Sale_files/Arlington%20Women %E2%80%99s%20Club%20Garage%20Sale.pdf
And this is the name of your PDF file...
"Arlington Women's Club Garage Sale.pdf"
The problem here is that the name of your PDF file includes an apostrophe and it is being coded by iWeb and interpreted by your server in different ways, which is leading to the "File not found" error message when you click on the link.
I would encourage you to simplify your filenames and pagenames and sitenames, because long names with spaces and other special non-alphanumeric characters will get converted into their character codes and may not be interpreted correctly by browsers or other servers.
Change the name of your PDF file, maybe to a simple "application.pdf". Relink it to your text link. Republish and I think you will see an improvement.
Let me know if you have any questions or run into any other roadblocks.

  • Anyone else having problems making a hyperlink to a file in CS4?

    Anyone else having problems making a hyperlink to a file? 
    I have a document in CS4 that I'm exporting to pdf. When I create a hyperlink in CS4 to a file, I am getting the message when I click the link in the pdf ' Cannot find the file:C%5Document' etc. 
    When creating the link, File is selected, Shared Destination is unchecked & checking the link using 'Go to Destination' shows the link works. 
    In Acrobat 9 Pro, I've checked the properties of the link - when exported from CS4, the Link Properties - Actions are 'Open a web link' 'file:C:\Documents%20'etc whereas if the link is created in Acrobat the link properties are ' 'Open a file' 'file:C\Documents and Settings' etc, and it works. 
    Is this a bug or am I missing something?

    I'm only getting that to work with the catalogue & sample in the same folder. In any case from a useability standpoint using URL brings up the Security Warning & putting the catalogue pdf in the same folder as 100 sample pdfs makes it more difficult to locate.
    I'm at a loss to understand why the functionality of creating a link in InDesign cannot be the same as Acrobat; where you can select 'Open a file', browse to that file and the relative links are maintained when you burn to a disc. InDesign looks as if it will do the same but when you select File as the link & browse to the destination file but InDesign treats it as a URL & brings up the the web link cursor in the finished pdf. That still looks like a bug to me.

  • Hyperlinks to PDF files only work in Preview

    I cannot get any of my hyperlinks to PDF files to work in my
    ouput WebHelp file. The links work fine in Preview, but not in the
    actual output. And the files have been added to the baggage folder,
    and can be seen in the Baggage folder. Any help would be greatly
    appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi Retso
    Sorry for not replying earlier. I've been conducting a
    RoboHelp HTML class all day.
    Are you using RoboHelp HTML 6? If so, there is a new option
    labeled "Mark of the web" that could be nailing you. When you
    generate your WebHelp by double-clicking the layout, see if this
    option is enabled. If so, disable it and your PDF links should
    begin working. Note, however, that by DE-selecting this option, you
    could start seeing the Yellow Information bar as Internet Explorer
    ever so helpfully deems this as a security threat and blocks your
    WebHelp until you click it and allow the content to be shown.
    Cheers... Rick

  • 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.

  • 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!

    I am a new user to OnLINE Adobe. My hyperlinks from Word

  • I've started having problems with downloading and opening PDF files.  Any hints?

    This started late yesterday and I've been unable to download or open or view any PDF files.  I've restarted my computer a few times, made sure Preview was open then when those things didn't work downloaded Adobe PDF reader and that didn't work either.  Any other ideas????

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • HT1206 Lots of info about one user using multiple computers. What about multiple users with separate Apple IDs using same computer? Having problems getting my wifes new iPhone talking to her apple account on the computer we share (2 users)

    Lots of info about one user using multiple computers. What about multiple users with separate Apple IDs using same computer? Having problems getting my wifes new iPhone talking to her apple account on the computer we share (2 users)

    You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

    I am trying to connect my Sony DCR-TRV350 to iMovie so that I can make DVD's from family videos.  I am having problems getting the video camera connected.  Any advice on how to do this?

    What happens when, after you connect your cam, you go to File > Import Media?
    But before that, does your cam require you to export your video files upon USB connection? I have a JVC Everio HD and I have to "Export to Library" from the cam's menu first-thing. This was true even in prior iMovie versions.

  • I'm running iTunes 10.5 on my Macbook Pro and software 4.1 on my 2g iPod touch and having problems getting photo's to sync. Same error iPod can't be synced req'd file can't be found. Tried deleting the photo cache, restoring the iPod etc but to no avail.

    I'm running iTunes 10.5 on my Macbook Pro and software 4.1 on my 2g iPod touch and having problems getting photo's to sync. Same error, "iPod can't be synced req'd file can't be found". Tried deleting the photo cache, restoring the iPod etc but to no avail.

    Try here:
    iTunes: Unable to sync photos
    Usually deleting the iPod Photo Cache Folder works. Note that if you sync via the folder method, make sure you dlete all the ifolders since :
    The iPod Photo Cache stores the photos that are optimized for display on your iPod, iPad, or iPhone. The location of this folder depends on the syncing options you select. In iTunes, if you change the selection in the “Sync Photos From” pop-up menu, a new iPod Photo Cache folder will be created (and the previous folder will remain).

  • Having problems getting podcast on iTunes, tried to resubmit and got an already submitted error

    Having problems getting podcast on iTunes, tried to resubmit and got an already submitted error. How can I get the podcast on iTunes?

    You didn't need to get it removed: you can make any changes to a feed that you want, changing, adding or deleting episodes, and iTunes will pick them up.
    However, in the present situation you have fallen over a bug in the submissions process. The workaround is changing the title; as this hasn't worked you need to change the feed URL if possible, and also you could change the contents of the 'link' tag.
    If you can't get it sorted you could try emailing Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and asking them to reinstate you (give them all the details) - their responses are a bit variable, but they may help you.
