Image hyperlink issues in PDF creation using Acrobat 9.0

Hi All,
I am using Acrobat 9.0 Professional for creating a PDF of a web site hosted on my local IIS server. All the web pages contain:
           1. A single large image and some description text.
           2. Few hyperlinks mapped to the various areas/locations of the image. The hyperlink is visible when user moves the mouse cursor to that specific area/location on the image.
These hyperlinks work correctly when the web page is viewed in any browser but when the web site is converted to PDF, we observed the following problems with the image hyperlinks:
     1. The hyperlink area (rectangular) on the image is shifted from its original position.
     2. The hyperlink area (rectangular) on the image grows bigger than its original size.
(The original position and size here means the position and size of the hyperlink as on the web page respectively).
Surprisingly these issues do not occur if a PDF is generated of the same web site using Acrobat 8.1.0 Professional.
I searched the Adobe website for any service pack/updates that could resolve this issue in Acrobat 9.0 Professional but could not find any.
I will be really thankful for any help provided.
Regards,
Santosh.

In my case it's with .puz files, which are crossword puzzle files used by sites like the New York Times and read by the application AcrossLite. I went into preferences and tried to change the action for the file type from "Save File" to AcrossLite but it would not take. Set it instead to "Always Ask" and then in the dialogue box selected AcrossLite and "always do this" and it gave an unknown error.
This is FF 4 on a Mac.

    How to check the resolution of a pdf file using Acrobat 9 pro?

    PDF files don't have one resolution, but may have none or many different resolutions, one per image. You can check the maximum/minimum resoluion with preflight in Acrobat Pro, but not in Adobe Reader.

  • How can I make some restictions in a PDF document using Acrobat 9 pro?

    Hello, I am a teacher from Spain. I am creating a PDF from a power point presentation, using Adobe Acrobat 9 pro. I will copy it in a cd and give it to my students. I would like to add these restrictions:
    I would like to avoid that they can copy this document.
    I only want to allow them to print it once.
    Thank you

    You can prevent copying of content (text and images) by setting permissions on the PDF file using Acrobat (apply password security, leaving the document open password empty).
    It is not possible to limit the number of times a PDF file is printed, no matter what settings you use. Printing can be disabled completely, or restricted to low-resolution output, but that is all. Even if it were somehow possible to restrict how many times Reader or Acrobat was allowed to print, there is no way to stop someone changing the copy number in the operating system print dialog, as that is beyond the control of any installed program. A printable PDF file can also be printed to another PDF file (called refrying), which will remove any interactive restrictions on the original.
    Note that permissions security is only respected by Adobe software. Third-party applications will often ignore the restrictions and allow all operations. The only way to truly protect the file is to apply a security method which is only found in Adobe products (such as LiveCycle policies), which will as a side-effect prevent anyone from opening the file in a third-party application that might not respect the restrictions.

  • Problem reopening and/or refreshing PDF files using Acrobat Reader V. 8.0

    I upgraded to Adobe Acrobat Reader V. 8.0 and have encountered problems refreshing PDF files in the Safari 2.0.4 browser when I am logged into the secure area for Value Line Publishing. Some of the PDF Files in this area can be opened and/or refreshed multiple times. Other PDF files in this area allow me to open them once. I cannot reopen those previously viewed files (or refresh the screen) -- after refreshing, the window changes to a blank white screen, and the files do not reopen.
    I am perplexed because I do not have difficulty refreshing the PDF files (within Safari) using the native PDF viewer, I did not have problems refreshing files using Acrobat Reader V. 7.0 and I do not appear to have problems refreshing PDF files using Acrobat Reader V. 8.0 when I am outside the secure area or on other web sites.
    I have replaced the Acrobat Reader plug-in, manually removed all remnants of previous versions of Acrobat Reader and reinstalled V. 8.0. and I also upgraded from Mac OS 10.4.8 to 10.4 9, all to no avail.
    I can clear the Safari cache files as a temporary solution, but I encounter the same difficulties with the “problematic” files once they have been opened again.
    I can also download the PDF files to my hard drive and refresh them multiple times within Safari and also using Acrobat Reader V. 8.0
    The software personnel at Value Line Publishing have investigated their system and have referred me back to Apple. Has anyone heard of similar problems associated with Adobe Acrobat Reader V. 8.0 used in conjunction with Safari 2.0.4?

    Hi Rodney
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    This sounds like one of those "oddities", contributed to by a few sources.
    I can clear the Safari cache files as a temporary solution, but I encounter the same difficulties with the “problematic” files once they have been opened again.
    Wondering if you disabled the Safari Cache would the refresh function work correctly? As a test you can disable the Safari Cache by Emptying the Cache first via the Safari menu, then Quit Safari. Now go to the Finder>Your User Library>Caches>Safari. Single click on the Safari folder, then Apple Key + I to open Info panel. There, check the "locked" box. This prevents further additions to the cache. The downside, you lose your ability to upload images etc. within Safari (my cache is disabled, so I use Firefox for the uploads).
    Then restart Safari. Try the PDF from within Safari.

  • I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud

    I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud option in Acrobat. Kindly help me to sortout this problems?

    So I tried generating the same PDFs on two other computers that have Acrobat 9 Pro.  Results were reproduced.  The verdict is:
    - complex PDF files (that is, containing cross-references, tables of contents, and bookmarks) generated by Acrobat 9.x Pro are roughly 2-5x larger than the identical file generated with Acrobat 8.x Pro.
    - different PDF conversion settings make a negligable difference (less than 10% rather than 70-80%).
    - using the "Reduce File Size" or "Optimize PDF" option cuts the file size roughly in half, almost always resulting in a "image downsampling mask" warning message, which requires acknowledgement (that is a problem for batch processing or automation).
    - adding an Acrobat watermark to the file cuts the file size roughly in half.
    - just using Save As to another filename has no effect on file size.
    - generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 with links but no PDF bookmarks still results in the inflated file size.
    - generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 without any links or bookmarks results in approximately the same file size as the Acrobat 8 PDF with full links and bookmarks.
    It appears that Acrobat 9's manner of adding links is what's bloating  the files, and in my case it's probably not related to images or image resolution/print quality.  It's a shame, because Acrobat 9 seems to have made some  improvements to the Review Tracker interface, and a few other bells and  whistles which I haven't really gotten around to exporing yet.  But  unless I find a way to keep my links and the PDF file sizes comparable to what I was  getting with Acrobat 8 Pro, it looks like I'm going to stay with Acrobat 8.

  • How do I edit a PDF file using Acrobat 9 - Version 9.4.0

    My company - [name deleted by host] purchased Acrobat 9 - Version 9.4.0. for me
    How do I edit a PDF file using Acrobat 9 - Version 9.4.0
    I need to edit - copy, extract text, add text, etc. from existing PDF files to SAVE my changes,
    or create a new PDF file from an existing file.
    This is very important for me to be able to do my job effectively.
    I spent over 2 hrs the last few days, and another hour today, still can't do it.
    PLEASE respond ASAP with a solution.
    Thanks in advance,

    PDF is an end destination format - although Acrobat is capable of making minor changes to a file (e.g. to correct typos) it is not a word processor or DTP application. Major changes must be done in the original document, and the PDF file re-exported.
    You can copy text from a file by selecting it and right-clicking, or you can save the file as plain or formatted text. To make small changes to the text on a page, use the touchup tool - see the help file for more info.

  • Can't view PDF files using Acrobat Reader X

    We made many PDF files available on our Web site. In the past few weeks we noticed that users who were using Acrobat Reader X and Internet Explorer 8 or 9 were not able to view some PDF files. Basically, when they clicked a link to display a PDF file, the screen would be cleared and the status bar showing "Loading ...KB/...K/B" would be displayed. The status bar would move a bit and then got stuck. The PDF file would never be displayed. Sometimes, my users could click the Back button to go back the previous Web page and sometimes they had to close or kill the IE window. Small PDF files seemed to be fine. I was able to repeat this problem on PCs running Windows XP and Windows 7. I also tested clicking the same PDF files with PCs installed with Acrobat Reader 9 and I was not able to cause the problem to occur, so I am pretty sure that this problem is related to Acrobat Reader X. I also noticed that if I unchecked the "Display PDF in browser"  option in Acrobat Reader X so that PDF files would not be displayed inside the Internet Explorer window, I would be able to view all PDF files without any problems.
    I also did an experiment by resaving many PDF files using Acrobat Pro (Reduce File Size...) to be compatible with Acrobat 8 or above. I was able to open these PDF files using Acrobat Reader X but when I used a PC with Acrobat 9, it would get stuck instead. Most of my PDF files were created a long time ago and we usually made it compatible with Acrobat 5 or above.
    I saw that some people reported some problems with Acrobat Reader X but I did not see a solution except uninstalling Acrobat Reader X and installing an old version of Acrobat Reader instead. Anyone has any ideas why this is happening and how to fix this problem?

    Sounds like you got the trial of Acrobat. Go to add/remove programs, get rid of it, the download the free Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader/

    There were problems with IE9 on it's initial release and that may be what you are seeing if that is the browser (you did not indicate the browser and that may be a key). If you have a different browser you might try that one with the same pages to see if it browser related.
    By saying garbled it sounds like the fonts did not make it or you have selected "Use Local Fonts" in Acrobat. Try checking the latter first. Then check if the fonts are embedded in the PDF by checking the document properties (ctrl-D). If they are not, go back to the browser and select the press or print job options before printing and see if they get embedded and if your problem is resolved.

  • Error opening DRM PDF document using Acrobat Reader

    I am having problem opening a DRM PDF document using Acrobat Reader. When I open the document I get a message if I want want to connect to xx.xxxxx.xx server (Allow / Disallow), I click Allow then I get this error message without prompting me for the login box.
    "An error occurred while performing this operation. Contact an administrator if this problem continues."
    What is strange is that when I open the document using Acrobat Professional then there is no error and I get login box.
    I tried this in Acrobat 8 and 9 Reader with latest updates.
    Please help.

    The problem is the enhanced security, turned on by default, in Adobe 8.2 and 9.3 - specifically restrictions on cross domain scripting.  
    You need to install a crossdomain.xml file in the root of your application server.
    See the Enhanced Security and Troubleshooting Guide and FAQ: http://learn.adobe.com/wiki/download/.../Enhanced_security_faq.pdf
    And the Cross Domain Policy File Specification: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/articles/crossdomain_policy_file_spec.html

    You might be able to use Acrobat and Distiller, but the print driver and AcroTray will probably not work. For AA6 (assuming Acrobat and Distiller work), install a PS printer and set the port to FILE and change the name to Adobe PDF. Then when you print to the Adobe PDF printer (or use PDF Maker -- of course PDF Maker for AA6 will not work with OFFICE 2007 or later) you will create a PS file (probably have a PRN extension). Just open that file in Distiller to create a PDF. The 3rd party options are always there, but have pros and cons.

  • Issue with PDF creation

    Hi,
    We have an issue with the PDF file generated using standard SAP program 'RFFOEDI1'. The issue is that special characters for the country 'CZ' are printed as '#' in the PDF.
    However, the spool for 'CZ' prints the special characters correctly.
    Can any one please let us know why is the program 'RFFOEDI1' not printing special characters for 'CZ' correctly????
    Cheers,
    Raghav.

    Please update to latest Acrobat 9 release which is 9.4.2.
    Also do let us know
    a) office 2003 flavour: Standard or professional?
    b) OS flavour? Also whether it is 32bit or 64bit?
    Also as you mentioned that "Not all documents are affected", so we would require any of your affected file to analyze the issue. Can you please share the file? You can use acrobat.com to share the file.
    Thanks,

  • Unable to print PDF files using Acrobat 8.

    I had to uninstall and then reinstall Office for Mac 2011.  I don't know if it's related or not,  but since doing so I have been unable to print PDF files using Adobe Acrobat 8. After opening a PDF file and hitting print, Adobe Acrobat 8 crashes. Any suggestions?  I already uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Acrobat 8, but it still won't print PDF files. O

    While you are having difficulty in printing a PDF file, you may try the  subsequent steps. If you are in a rush and would like to print a simple  document such as a letter, a form, or a calendar, you may print it as an  image. Next option is that you may need to update your printer driver   if the PDF does not print, the PDF prints as a blank page or with  unreadable text or if you get an error message when you print.  Sometimes, when you print a file that is on a thumb drive or a network,  the file gets damaged. Then you have to open the copy on your hard drive  and print again. At last, you can try printing the PDF using another  printer and check your printer connection too if the PDF does not get  printed. get more help to fix unable to printer PDF file hope this helps you.
    Good Luck!
