I want hyperlinks to work in Preview.

I have created them in MSWord for Mac but they are dead when I save them as PDF and view in Preview. I am using Preview Version 7.0

How are you saving to PDF?  Have you tried Print ➙ PDF ➙ Safe as PDF?

  • Hyperlinks don't work in Preview

    I created a PDF file from a PowerPoint presentation using Mac OS X. My PDF file has hyperlinks in it that work fine when viewed in Acrobat Reader. But I'm unable to get any of the hyperlinks to work when viewing the file with the built in program "Preview" that is part of the Mac OS X operating system.
    There are plenty of PDF files on the Internet with hyperlinks that work in both Apple Preview and Acrobat Reader. But the PDF files I create using Mac OS X, don't seem to function properly in Preview.
    Any suggestions?

    I found this bit of information here ( http://www.cs.wright.edu/~jslater/mac-tex/mac-tex-intro/mactexintro.html):
    Adobe Reader (I wouldn’t)
    Adobe Acrobat (Not this either)
    Preview (Maybe better)
    Skim (Awesome, my pick)
    TEXShop - Works well as a viewer-only with extra tools
    iTEXMac - Also works well as a viewer-only with extra tools
    OzTEX (if not using PDFLaTEX)
    CMacTEX(if not using PDFLaTEX)
    MacDVIX (if not using PDFLaTEX)
    If PDFTEX is used, any PDF(R) viewer can be used, but hyperlinks don’t work in viewers using Apple’s(R) PDF code (e.g. Preview, iTEXMac, TEXShop, Skim...), so you may want to have Adobe Reader(R) or Acrobat installed to test your hyperlinks.

  • How can i get "show hyperlinks" to work?

    I have CS6 on a Mac, running 10.7.5.
    My ID file has many hyperlinks, all work fine when exported to PDF. The problem is that i can't "see" the hyperlinks inside my ID file. I have turned ON "show hyperlinks" and turned ON "show hidden characters." I have "overprint preview" turned OFF.
    I CAN see other types of hidden characters, like spaces, tabs, bookmarks, etc. but not hyperlinks. From what i understand, these should appear with a thin grey box around them (?).
    What should i do?

    I think hyperlinks could be batch changed visible afterwards with this excellent tip from Indesignsecrets.com:
    http://indesignsecrets.com/batch-change-hyperlinks-across-a-whole-indesign-document.php
    I always create character style called "hyperlinks" etc before I start making hyperlinks, then I make sure that I choose that style in style dropdown in New Hyperlink window. It´s usefull even if there´s no appearance for that style at the beginning. I can always edit the style settings afterwards if I want, like change the color of the hyperlink text or make a underline for it etc...

  • Forms built in Acrobat not working in Preview!?

    I've built a form in Acrobat Professional (with text fields and radio buttons) that we want to fill out with Preview. The idea is to open the pdf with Preview, fill it out and in the Print dialogue, to "mail as pdf". Then if you close the original pdf without saving changes. it remains a template you can re-use anytime you wish.
    This would all work fine except some of the text fields seem to radomly decide not to work when the pdf is opened with Preview. I've tried going back in Acrobat to delete the field and re-create another - that didn't work - same issue. I tried deleting the field, then copy and paste a field that does work in its place. Not only does that not work, it renders BOTH fields unusable!
    Any ideas?

    If the field works in Acrobat Reader but not Preview, then it's probably Preview's problem. Preview supports a subset of PDF features and an older version than the Adobe apps. From other similar questions seen in the forums, the best solution is to distribute a current, free Adobe Reader to everyone who needs to fill out the form.
    Either that or get Apple to keep Preview reasonably full-featured and up-to-date, because today it is neither, and Adobe Reader 8 is nearly as fast or faster than Preview.

  • How do I get Hyperlink to work both backwards and forwards in a list?

    I have created a short outline of my web pages in a column on the left side of each page. Each topic with a page has a bullet. I want users to be able to click on the topic and go to that page. I have made each topic a text hyperlink to its own page, but the hyperlinks only work in outline order. It is not possible to click on a topic in random order and have the hyperlink work. For instance, if I am at topic D and want to return to topic C, I need to run thru the entire outline to go home and then work my way from home back to C. Is there anything I can do to be able to activate each hyperlink in random order just as the navigation bar does?

  • Can't add hyperlinks to PDF in Preview?

    Why doesn't Preview in Mountain Lion support hyperlinks. I received a PDF with hyperlinks that work when opened in Adobe Reader, but when opened in Preview the links don't work. There also doesn't seem to be a way to add links to a PDF in Preview. Am I missing something?
    On another note, does anyone know how to edit the text in a PDF that was created using Acrobat, but that is unlocked?
    Thanks

    Preview used to be able to add links to PDFs but it was one of the features silently taken away
    To edit a PDF either try Illustrator if you have it, or  PDFPen Pro (I think they have a full featured demo). If you're ok with an online editor, I've used http://www.pdfescape.com/ quite a few times and it works a treat for a lot of things like adding links.

  • Bookmark hyperlinks not working within PDF

    I have added hundreds of bookmarks and created hyperlinks to each one. The hyperlinks function from within iBooks Author but as soon as I export to PDF, the hyperlinks stop working.
    From within the PDF the hyperlinks appear as underlined text, and the curser changes to indicate that a hyperlink is present. But clicking on a link does nothing. However, external hyperlinks (to websites: e.g. http://www.site.com) function OK.
    I have opened the PDF within Preview, Adobe Reader and also within various iPads. Apple indicate that bookmarks/hyperlinks work when exporting to PDF, so what am I doing wrong?
    I've searched the net for solutions and it appears that I'm not the only one with the same issue - but no solution is present.
    Any ideas?

  • Some PDFs not working in Preview. Mac created PDFS work but windows created PDFS dont

    Some PDFs not working in Preview. I installed adobe reader and then deleted it because the software was aweful and PDFs have been haveing issues ever since. I can open up PDFs created on my Mac in preview just fine...
    But when I try and open a PDF created on a windows computer it says:
    "Please wait...

    I am not sure why where the PDF was created would make a difference but couldnt help but notice that was the difference between the PDF files that work and the ones that give that message. I can view the PDFs on a windows computer just fine and never had issues untill adobe, it seems to have messed up PDFs on my Mac and I am so frustrated with them. I have searched my computer for any remaining adobe files, deleted them and restarted my computer but I am still getting this message.

  • Hyperlinks not working in PDF created from Word

    I have created a Word document containing hyperlinks but when I print it to a PDF file (using Acrobat 7.0.9 on Windows Server 2003), the hyperlinks look OK in the PDF file but nothing happens when I click on them.
    In Acrobat, under Edit > Preferences > Convert to PDF > Microsoft Office > Edit Settings, the "Add bookmarks and links to Adobe PDF file" option is ticked.
    How can I get the hyperlinks to work in a PDF file created from a Word document?

    The original post did not indicate the method of creating the PDF. The result that was obtained was what happens when you print to the Adobe PDF printer. To get the hyperlinks embedded in the PDF, you have to use the PDF Maker (create PDF in WORD 2007).

  • Hyperlinks not working in PDf created from Keynote '08

    When I produce a pdf from File > Print in Keynote '08, the hyperlinks do not work in the pdf. I have tried all the various pdf settings (even the ones that export hyperlinks) and no luck, the links are not working in the pdf. If I invoke the File > Export > PDf command in Keynote, the hyperlinks do work, but Export does not provide as much flexibility in PDF creation that File > Print does, thus my need to go to File > Print.
    Any suggestion?

  • Embedded PDF - How to get hyperlinks to work?

    Using APEX 4.1 - about to go to 4.2, Oracle 11g, IE9
    I have PDFs stored in a table as a BLOB. I display them inline with the EMBED tag on a display item:
    RETURN '<object width="800" height="600" data="'||APEX_UTIL.GET_BLOB_FILE_SRC('P3_DIRECTIVE_PDF',:P3_DIRECTIVE_ID,null,'inline')||'" type="application/pdf"></object>';
    The BLOB displays just fine. However, if the user has any hyperlinks within the PDF document you can hover over the HYPERLINK but you can't click on it (all you get is the stupid little hand as if you were trying to grab the text or something).
    Is there any other way to display the PDF inline and get the hyperlinks to work correctly? When I use the file browse/viewer (which will display the PDF on a new page), the hyperlinks work just fine (so I know the PDF itself is okay).
    Thank you in advance.

    For what it is worth, I duplicated the problem on apex.oracle.com
    WORKSPACE: CHECKDATES
    USERID: GUESTUSER
    PASSWORD: PDFTest
    If you look at the "View Page" tab, the summary report shows the PDF with the link "View Inline". The links work.
    But if you select the pencil icon on the left, when the page is displayed and the PDF embedded into the page, the links don't work.
    Thank you in advance.
    5/21/2013: I guess there isn't a solution to this problem? It is strange because when I embed the PDF into an HTML page without using the BLOB, the hyperlinks work. Which makes me think that something that the GET_BLOB_FILE_SRC routine is doing makes the hyperlinks not work correctly. SIGH.

  • InDesign CS5.5 Exporting PDF master page hyperlinks only work on first 2 pages

    We recently upgraded from CS5 to CS5.5 and now our hyperlinks that go to different pages in the PDF only are working on the first 2 pages of each document in the book.  We have about 30 documents wrapped up in a indesign book.  On the master page we have hyperlinks that allow users to quickly go to the index in the back of the book.  After the CS5.5 upgrade the hyperlinks only work the the first 2 pages of each document.  We export to PDF(print) with hyperlinks enabled.
    I have tried the below:
    - I have tried 2 different computers
    - Deleted and re-created the indesign preference file
    - deleted and re-created the hyperlinks

    Can you recommendd the best way to manage the following:
    I'm on a Mac. Created an enewsletter for a client in Indesign CS5 with 7 "click here"s throughout the document. The hyperlinks are to connect w other PDF documents not URLs.
    Where will I have the best luck creating the hyperlinks - Indesign or in the PDF I export? I have Acrobat Pro if I need to create the hyperlinks in the PDF.
    Except I can't figure out how to create the links in either program as far as what name to designate and where do the PDFs reside so people can link to  them? And do I enter the file name of the PDF connected to the particular "click here."
