ID CS4 URLs not read live in PDF read by Acrobat 6

Dear All,
I would sure like to find a nice list of what the different versions of Acrobat and Reader can do and not do.
I sent up a PDF (version Acrobat 6 (PDF 1.5)) made in InDesign CS4 (see system config. below) and my seniors had trouble with it. One had Acrobat 6 and couldn't read URLs yet the Interactive Elements did work. I made sure I specified the 'Export Include - Hyperlinks and Interactive Elements' when I made the PDF file. What to do? So I found the site called OldApps.com and downloaded Acrobat Reader 6.0 for Windows. Sure enough, the URLs did not work but the interactive one did. Going on the idea that having to manually insert a hyperlink in InDesign seemed to have worked and letting ID/Acrobat to create the links didn't work, I made all the links manually in ID. This worked and now all links are live.
If I had some sort of list I'd look up what wasn't and what was supported in past versions of Acrobat/PDF and I could then make adjustments to my INDDs and PDFs accordingly. Does such a beast exist? Do I have to create one?
System:
Windows XP Home SP 2
Creative Suite 4
Pentium 4 CPU 3GHz
1.74GB RAM

Peter,
I think I am getting it through my thick skull.
I opened a PDF made in ID CS4 with no hyperlinks created in InDesign and not turning on the 'Hyperlink' checkbox in the Export window and the links were not 'live' in Reader 6. This was regardless of the option being checked or not in the Pregerences|General section. When I made a PDF with hyperlinks named in the Hyperlinks panel and had the checkbox selected in the Export window, then Reader 6 recognized the links as 'live' regardless of the enabling in the Pregerences|General section of Reader 6.
So now I control the horizontal, I control the vertical...

  • Custom Image(URL) not showing up in PDF

    Hi,
    We have created a standard webi-report where a company logo is part of the report header.
    We would like to keep the company logo in a database, so we've creáted a simple webapp to retrieve the image from an Oracle database. When we insert the logo into our report we just use the following link as the Image(URL): http://<Servername>/plsqlapp/docs/Company.JPG
    The logo now shows up as expected in the report as long as we view the report through InfoView. However, when we export the report as a PDF document, the logo will vanish.
    If we use boimg://Company.jpg as the Image(URL) instead, it works OK even when exported to a PDF document.
    We would however prefer to keep our images used in reports in a database.

  • Photoshop CS4 will not read Raw files from Nikon D60. [was: No automatic updates for my PS CS 4  on windows (for reading .Nef files)?]

    Hi
    I have been using PS CS4 for several years.
    Yesterday, I went to PS CS4 help and selected "updates", but I get the message "There are not updates available at this time; Please note that some updates for the following products cannot be determined at this time: Adobe Updater".
    I need the updates because I just purchased a Nikon D60 and my Photoshop does not read the .NEF files produced by the camera.
    any idea, please?
    thanks

    Do you really mean the Nikon D60 which shipped in 2008? Was it purchased secondhand?
    The Nikon D60 was first supported in Adobe Camera Raw 4.4.
    Photoshop CS4 ships with Camera Raw 5.0 so it can read D60 NEF files out of the box. No updates required.
    If you do mean the D60 then something else must be going on. e.g. are you using Nikon software to transfer files from camera to computer?

  • CS4 will not read Canon 5D Mark2's CR2 files

    Bought the Canon 5D Mark 2 for christmas.
    Am running Bridge and PS CS4
    They will not read the camera's CR2 files
    The icon of CR2 shows in bridge but wont read the file
    I'm on a Mac
    Looking for a link to download the update.
    Please help!

    If from within bridge you go to Help>Update that should find
    the camera raw 5.7 update and install it.
    Here's where you can manually download the camera raw 5.7 update if

  • Not able to view PDFs onlie with Acrobat 6 insalled

    I have Adobe Acrobat 6.0 installed and now whenever I go to view any PDF online I get an error message:
    "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser.
    Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again"
    When I click OK (the only option), Acrobat 6.0 is launched and I still am unable to view the online PDF.
    I reinstalled Acrobat Reader latest version, but I'm still getting the same error above.
    How can I view PDFs from my web browser with Acrobat 6.0 installed?

    With version 7 Adobe changed the active x for webviewing.
    So you have to decide if you want to take Reader > 6 for Webviewing or Acobat 6 (where the later make not really sence to me).
    I think the last installed version will take over, the other produce only error for webviewing and also embedding.

  • Different between Reader and Acrobat - Forcing URL's to load PDF's into IE

    I implemented an action button links in PDF form to connect to server.
    When open PDF form by Reader: Links is opened and processed by IE.
    When open PDF form by Acrobat: Links is auto opened and processed by Acrobat.
    I want to keep actions opened links by IE. Are there anyway that I can turn off auto open links by Acrobat when open PDF form by Acrobat?
    I want to force URL's to load PDF's into IE.
    Please help me resolve it. Thank a lot.

    Oh I have the same problem. My submit button send all input data on PDf Form to an asp.net web server. The web server process it and then response with a html data.
    - In case Acrobat Reader : a browser will be openned automatically to receive that html data.
    - In case Acrobat Pro : it opens a "download form" and process that html data
    It is too ridiculous but my project need to receive html data by browser(not by acrobat pro). We need it for doing something with javascript and DOM elements
    Is there any way to do this ? Please help me

  • URLs are not being recognized inside PDF

    URL links inside a PDF that I've created in InDesign CS5 are not being recognized.
    I have email and website URLs embedded inside a PDF that was created in InDesign. These links are being recognized and I can click on them in Chrome, Opera, IE or Safari on the Mac. Eg, hovering over the mailto or http URLs the cursor turns to a hand and the links are clickable. Firefox is the only browser that does not recognize ANY links in the PDF. The cursor doesn't change to a hand instead it just remains as the standard text insertion cursor. The links are not clickable.
    Firefox 26.0
    Adobe Reader plugin 11.0.4.63 (latest as of today)

    Current Firefox versions have enabled a built-in PDF Viewer that doesn't have all features that other PDF readers like the Adobe Reader have or may not function properly otherwise.
    You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
    You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu if you want to display PDF documents in Firefox with another application (i.e. not the built-in PDF Viewer).

  • Adobe Media Encoder for CS4 error Could not read from the source

    Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been
    deleted.
    Thank you
    Art

    When you attempt to encode media with Adobe Media Encoder CS4 on Windows, the following error message appears in the text file (AMEEncodingErrorLog.txt) that opens when you click the error icon: "Encoding Failed. Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted."
    If it's that correct, you removed an earlier version of Adobe Premiere Pro or Adobe Creative Suite on the same computer.
    Do one or both of the following solutions:
    Solution 1: Create a shortcut to the Premiere Pro executable file, rename the shortcut to Premiere, and move the shortcut to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink.
    Close all Adobe applications.
    In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. (If you installed Premiere Pro CS4 in a location other than the default of C:\Program Files\Adobe, then navigate to your custom installation location.)
    Right-click on Adobe Premiere Pro.exe (which might appear without the .exe extension) and choose Create Shortcut.
    Rename the newly created shortcut to just Premiere.
    Important: The name of the shortcut must be exactly Premiere with no other characters.
    Open a second Windows Explorer window, and navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink.
    Move the Premiere shortcut that you created into the dynamiclink folder.
    Solution 2: Remove and reinstall all Premiere Pro CS4 components or all Adobe Creative Suite 4 components.
    Do one of the following:
    Windows XP: Choose Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.
    Windows Vista: Choose Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features.
    In the list of installed programs, select Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium, or Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master Collection.
    Click Change/Remove (Windows XP) or Uninstall (Windows Vista).
    Follow the on-screen instructions to remove all components of Premiere Pro CS4 (including Adobe Encore CS4 and Adobe OnLocation CS4) or to remove all components of your edition of Adobe Creative Suite 4.
    Re-install your Adobe software.

  • Can not read file from URL

    I have this code for loadbitmap() function:
    String s = getCodeBase()+sdir+sfile;
    System.out.println("codeBase is=" + s);
    URL url = new URL(s);
    InputStream fs = url.openStream();
    BufferedInputStream bs = new BufferedInputStream(fs);
    And the file is a .bmp file, so I go on decoding this etc. It works fine within VisualCafe.
    When I created a virtual directory in IIS and run this applet from
    http://localhost/ImageApplet/ImageApplet.html address:
    I get in 1.3.1 Plug-in this error:
    codeBase is=http://localhost/ImageApplet/duke/some1.BMP
    Caught exception in loadbitmap!java.io.FileNotFoundException: http://localhost/ImageApplet/duke/some1.BMP
    If a type this as address in browser, it shows the image.
    Could any one tell me what I am doing wrong here?

    You can try this, even though it is not supposed to be different from your original code:
    URL url = new URL(getCodeBase(), sdir+sfile);
    System.out.println("getting image from " + url);
    InputStream fs = url.openStream();
    BufferedInputStream bs = new BufferedInputStream(fs);
    I could understand a SecurityException but a FileNotFoundException... A FileNotFoundException... You are reading from a stream originating from a URL, not a file!!!
    Which line causes the exception?

  • I'm not able to open PDF files in Adobe Reader XI.

    I recently updated to Adobe Reader XI and now I can't open any of my PDF documents or PDF e-mail attachments.  When I click on a document I now get a window that asks if I want to allow this file to open.  I click yes and get a monstrousity the likes I've never seen.  It blacks out my screen for a couple seconds and then I get a mixture of my desktop, task bar, and a window wanting to know if I want to open this with Protected Mode disabled.  It only fills 3/4 of the screen, the items all all blown-up in size, and are distorted.  In playing with this I have gotten notes that I have an "Incompatable Application" and "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDS Server".  On occasion I will get an Adobe Reader screen that is completely greyed out with no content in it and after a couple of seconds it goes off.  Other times I got the window about Protected Mode and I've clicked on to disable it but that doesn't work either.  I removed Adobe Reader XI and re-installed Adobe Reader X and I still have the same problem which I did not have before.  I 'm running Windows 7 Professional and have McAfee anti-virus, which I have disbled on one occasion during download and that I still had the same problem.  I went to program files to find the End User License Agreement and try to see if I needed to click on 'Accept" but it tells me the file does not exist.  I even tried using System Restore to take me back to before I did the upgrade to Adobe Reader XI and I still have this problem.  I'm at the end of my knowledge level and because these files are needed in my business I'm only able to operate at about 50%.

    You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.
