Invisible box on hyperlinks?

How do you create (or have as the default) hyperlinks that will be invisble when exporting an InDesign CS4 document to Acrobat?
Mac OX 10.6.8

All InDesign source document questions would be better asked in the InDesign Forum
Window > Interactive > Hyperlinks
CS4 defaulted to Visable Rectangle (on this machine)...oddly enough CS3,and CS5.5 - Invisable Rectangle is default
Within InDesign defaults are set by making the choice with no documents open. This panel option, Hyperlink Options, is greyed out with no documents open so I do not think that the default can be modified.

Invisible boxes displayed when exporting from PowerPoint

I am using Acrobat 10.1.4 with PowerPoint 2010 on Windows 7 Home Premium. I have a presentation that contains some opaque white boxes that I remove through animation to make visible text underneath. I structure my presentation this way because I make handouts from the slides and want my students to have to write in the uncovered text. Because I print handouts on a black-and-white printer, I generate black-and-white (or grayscale) PDF files.
Unfortunately, when I print to PDF from PowerPoint, choosing either the grayscale or black-and-white option, the boxes show up as black outlines, rather than being invisible (except for hiding what is behind them). The problem occurs whether I make the box outlines white or invisible. If I print in color, I do not have this problem.
Here is the document. Can anyone suggest a workaround?
Thank you.
Ellen

If you check the print preview in PPT, the borders do not appear for color, but show for both grayscale and B&W. I use the black and white option on the print screen, and get the same result as if I select the B&W in the printer properties. I am not a good enough PPT user to say how to change it there, but it would appear as MS has programmed it to work this way. Sorry, I don't have a better answer.

Preventing black boxes around hyperlinks?

My document, created in Word 2010 and saved as a pdf in Adobe Acrobat X Pro 10 (newest version), has hyperlinks referring to other areas of the document. The document looks fine on my screen (on a PC) and other screens, but on a particular computer (that happens to be a Mac desktop) it shows black rectangles around the hyperlinks when opened in Adobe Reader.
I went into the edit links dialog, and it shows the Link Type as Invisible Rectangle.
How to I prevent this from happening on certain computers?
Thanks!

The Reader should actually never show the frames, unless there is an extra option to do so (I don't know of any).
In Acrobat, only with hyperlink tool selected, the frames are shown.
What version of Reader on the Mac is it and are the frames bold or thin?

Safari invisible from Mail hyperlink

Using Lion, when I click on a hyperlink in a Mail message, Safari starts, but the web page never appears. I can see its title in Safari's list of open pages, but the page itself is invisible. If I copy the URL and paste it into the Safari address line, it opens fine. Ideas? Yes, I have looked on the other desktops in Mission Control. Not there.

More info:
It seems to be the screen going to sleep, not the computer. When I come back and touch the mouse or the keyboard, as the screen lights up, there is a flash of the web pages I left up, then they vanish.
Yikes!!!

Show pop-up dialog box from hyperlink

I would like to allow a user to click a hyperlink on the report that could be used to print, or email a report somewhere.
What I am hoping to do is once the user clicks the hyperlink then I will pop-up a box that will allow the user to enter an email address to send the report to, or what printer to print it to. Once the email address has been entered and they click OK, then I will call the report again with the correct parameters for destype, desname, and desformat.
Is something like this possible? I know I could do all of this from Forms, but I am looking for something to use inside reports, since we have many levels of "drill-downs" in reports.
Any suggestions, or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

No JavaLEar, that won't work, not even if we disregard your somewhat confused logic in the if-statements (you are calling System.exit(0) if the user choose "No", which would be very suprising to most users).
But there is a very simple solution to the OP's problem:
    public class Sample extends JFrame {
        public Sample() {
                // Instruct the frame to not do anything when a close-event is
                // triggered. We will be closing the frame manually in the WindowListener
                // below:
             setDefaultCloseOperation(DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE);
             addWindowListener( new WindowAdapter() {
                 public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
                     int selection = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null,
                             "do you want to close window?", "Sample",
                             JOptionPane.YES_NO_CANCEL_OPTION,
                             JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE);
                     if( selection == JOptionPane.YES_OPTION ) {
                         // If the user answered "Yes", we close the frame
                         dispose();
                         // and call System.exit(0) if the whole application
                        // should
                         // terminate:
                         System.exit(0);
                     // If the user pressed "No" or "Cancel" we don't have to
                     // do anything.
    }Hope this helps.

Showing RSS feed in Dynamic Text box (with hyperlink)

Hi all -
I am currently trying to pull RSS data into a project for my first time and am trying to get 3 (potentially 4) boxes filled with rss data that will be updated. So far, I am going with Actionscript 3. So far I have the code below, but it puts data in a listbox. What is the easiest way to put the data in three dynamic text boxes inside a movie clip, so I have one for the title, one for description and one for link (shown as 'read more' text but a link using the url from the rss value)?
I am really banging my head against the wall on this one and want to get it sorted asap, so any help would be GREATLY appreciated! I have also attached an image to show what I am trying to do:
I also want to know if it's possible to show rss values only if they exist. For example, my xml feed currently only has 3 items that change, and i will be assigning these to boxes, but is it possible to display a fourth if it exists, and if it doesn't it just shows the first?
My code so far:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
var xml:XML;
function onLoaded(e:Event):void
    xml = new XML(e.target.data);
    var il:XMLList = xml.channel.item.description};
    trace(il[1]);
         lb.addItem({data:il.description.text()
                            label:il.title.text()}):
loader.load(new URLRequest("http://www.rssfeedhere.xml"));

you would create a movieclip (exported for actionscript and class = rssItem) with 3 textfields and the display shown in your message and use something like:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
var xml:XML;
function onLoaded(e:Event):void
    xml = new XML(e.target.data);
    var il:XMLList = xml.channel.item.description};
    for(var i:uint=0;i<il.length();i++){
        var mc:rssItem = new rssItem();
        addChild(mc);
        mc.x = 300*i%2;
        mc.y = 300*Math.floor(i/2);
        mc.titleTF.text = il[i].title.text();
        mc.descriptionTF.text = il[i].description.text();
        mc.readmoreTF.text = ?
loader.load(new URLRequest(http://www.rssfeedhere.xml));

Indesign cs2 - imported word hyperlinks invisible

when i import a word doc the hyper links are invisiblr and have a box around them. i have tried changing the properties with no luck. the only solution i have found was to delte hyper links in word, import and create new links in indesign. takes way to much time, can anyone help.

Hyperlinks invisible and they have a box around them? What's that then, an invisible box?
A "Hyperlink" does not have to be visible. Any word you see, any image, indeed, any box (invisible or not) can be a hyperlink. InDesign is aware of this, and so it defaults to showing a box around text hyperlinks -- but if you don't like that, all you have to do is select the hyperlink and change its properties in the Hyperlinks panel. However, these are the properties of the hyperlink -- not that of the clickable text that's linked. InDesign does not "do" anything to this text, you will have to "make it visible" yourself.
If you want to make links "visible" by making them blue and underlined, you will have to select each one of them and make the text blue & underlined.
But -- if you imported the text out of Word, you usually get a character style applied to all hyperlinks (as this is something that Word does do, whether you like it or not). So changing the character style will change the appearance of all text that have this character style applied to them.

The hyperlinks in my pdf all have a blue shaded box around them when viewing in adobe reader.

The hyperlinks in my pdf all have a blue shaded box around them when viewing in adobe reader. How can I get rid of these? Why is this happening? The pdf was created from a presentation in powerpoint and uses the links for some interactivity.

That's a great feature request. I'd like the ability to turn off the blue boxes over hyperlinks as well.

Hyperlink box is not active when attempting to link text to a webpage

The Inspector box for Hyperlinks was not active.
It also was not active when I attempted the same through Insert
Suggestions?

What is a best practice for managing a large amount of ever-changing hyperlinks?

I am moving an 80+ page printed catalog online. We need to add hyperlinks to our Learning Management System courses to each reference of a class - there are 100s of them. I'm having difficulty understanding what the best practice is for consistent results when I need to go back and edit (which we will have to do regularly).
These seem like my options:
Link the actual text - sometimes when I go back to edit the link I can't find it in InDesign but can see it's there when I open up the PDF in Acrobat
Draw an invisible box over the text and link it - this seems to work better but seems like an extra step
Do all of the linking in Acrobat
Am I missing anything?
Here is the document in case anyone wants to see it so far. For the links that are in there, I used a combination of adding the links in InDesign then perfecting them using Acrobat (removing additional links or correcting others that I couldn't see in InDesign). This part of the process gives me anxiety each month we have to make edits. Nothing seems consistent. Maybe I'm missing something obvious?

what exatly needs to be edited, the hyperlink or content or?

Keynote hyperlink failure in iweb

I have created a flash file in keynote, then exported it to iweb .... all works fine; except for any hyperlinks that were created with the file. These seem to disappear when it gets exported into iweb. The only solution that I've found is to create an invisible box shape over the subject once it's been exported, and then enable that as a hyperlink. However this doesn't cause the arrow to change to a hand, which is what I want.
Any help out there?
Macbook using keynote08 and iweb08.

Duncan, the reason for the Hyperlink not appearing as such is beyond me, but the solution would be easy.
Just make a "click me to continue" notice somewhere on the page.
Many Flash intro's have these so why not yours?

How do I search a document for hyperlinks in Acrobat Pro XI?

Running Windows 7 Enterprise -- It seems neither the advanced nor simple search option includes a check box for hyperlinks in a search. What am I missing?

That method has worked for me before with external URL's; however, I am attempting to enumerate links to sections, figures and tables within a large document. Another way to do it (for this particular document, as it happens) is by adding tags via the Accessibility tool, but this process is tedious and the accessibility problems Acrobat found are mostly spurious, found just by luck.
All I want is a wildcard regular expression search and a check box to include all links in my search, like how the search function worked in previous versions of Acrobat.

Edited hyperlinked shape images not hyperlinking properly when published

At my website:
www.trianglepolysteel.com
I've tried to add and edit hyperlinked shape images at the top of the page, namely "The PolySteel Systems" and "FAQs". No matter what I do--bring to front, recreate a brand new image, copy and paste one I know works--the published version does not hyperlink properly. I unselect "make all hyperlinks inactive" in the hyperlink inspector pane, rollover my mouse to ensure that all buttons take me to the proper place, then click them to prove it. Works in iWeb, not on the published page.
Does anyone know how iWeb creates the code? When I save changes I've made, does it rewrite code for the entire page, or does it plug in edits at the end of the existing code? When I go in to view source in safari, it looks like it put the two edited/added images in a different location.
Help! Visitors/potential customers are missing a valuable link on my site.

OT,
Yes, each is its own image, as making one text box and hyperlinking each word/phrase results in the unchangeable (arrrgh!) grey underlined text that changes to red on rollover.
I've already been experimenting with exactly what you mentioned. I just tried shrinking all the image boxes, without encroaching on the text, so they would clearly not overlap. I'm publishing to me.com for these experiments so I don't have to keep publishing the entire site to a folder, then ftping to my server. Here's the page I just experimented with:
http://web.mac.com/bradleyoder/iWeb/Triangle%20PolySteel/WhatIsPolySteel.html
In iWeb, all links are good to go, no overlapping, etc. Curiously enough, on this page, there are even more dysfunctional hyperlinks with those image boxes.
Any further thoughts?
Bradley

Click boxes (alternatives or show a border around them?)

Regarding insert\standard objects\click box:
Currently I don't know of a simpler (in terms of efforts/steps involved) way to create 'slide-over' or 'pop-up' boxes or hyperlinks.
The only caveat to using click boxes is that you cannot color them or automatically include a box around them.
Just so there is no mistake, click boxes include a text box, which automatically appears when the mouse is rolled over the active area. On the other hand, roll-over slidelets allow colors and borders, however, they do not include a pop-up text box. A text box can be added but that requires additional effort.... which ultimately slows down development.
Thanks

Ahhh okay. Gotcha
This is where you would want to use a Button. Note that there are three types of Buttons. You choose the type in the Button properties. You may use an Image Button where you specify three different images to use. A Text Button, where you simply supply the Text to use. And the last type I personally never use. But in this case it sounds like you may want it. The Transparent button.
Cheers... Rick

How do I create an invisible rectangle link in a PDF that opens a webpage in a new tab?

I need to make a pdf that when viewed on the web will have invisible boxes around pictures that go to other pages in new tabs.

Adobe Reader cannot create links.
If ou have Adobe Acrobat, all those options are available in the link tool dialog.
