Link Between Pages in a PDF Report

It would be great to be able to make a link between different pages in a DIAdem report, and have those links carry over into a PDF version of the report. For example, if I had a very large report, it might be useful to be able to create a Table of Contents with links to the different sections of the report.
Currently, the PDF creation process will create bookmarks for the pages, but a link within the document might be easier to use when examining the report.

I agree, links would be great (as occasionally related items aren't placed directly side-by-side)!
In general, a 'table of contents' customizable sheet would be very useful as well.
We've created our own in the past in scripts that export large reports, but have had users complain because it didn't 'auto-update' so if they rearranged the sheets, it would be wrong.

How can I keep the links between pages in a PDF file after the file has been saved?

My accounting department has just starting using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard to make our account reconciliations. I like that we can create links between one page and the next, so that we can show our supervisor where the account balances tie to the supporting documentation. But I have noticed the links disappear after my supervisor reviews and signs the PDF file. Is there a way we can keep the links after it is signed? Please note that we are not using EchoSign, just the “place signature” function in Acrobat.

When a document is signed, the signer has the option of locking the document. The links won't be active if the document is locked, so to avoid this, instruct the signer not to lock when signing.

Links between pages not working

I can't seem to get links between pages in my folio to work. Links between multiple pages of a single article will work, but when I try to link from one article to another article, nothing happens.
Using CS 5.5, Folio builder 1.1.3.
Thnx,

The Help page for this is: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS67cb9e293e2f1f60-8ad81e812b10bfd837-80 00.html#WS67cb9e293e2f1f606f59889512d69320e0d-8000
The syntax for your Hyperlink is: navto://articlename#1
Replace articlename with the name of the article you want to jump to, and replace the number 1 here with the specific page number you want to link to, remembering that DPS wants to count from zero rather than from one. So...
navto://Fish_Fingers#2
...would link to the third page of the article named 'Fish_Fingers'.

Control the page height and page width of pdf report using pasta_pdf.cfg

Hi All,
I've followed the note: 338990.1 (how to print publisher PDF reports via the concurrent manager) in metalink to print a PDF REPORT. Everything work fine except the page height and page width is used as default (8X11). Is there anyway that i can custom page height and page width size such as: legal (8.5X14).
current set up in pasta_pdf.cfg
[DEFAULT]
%% ============== Preprocessing Command ==================== %%
% Pasta can use a preprocessing command to invoke any executable
% that supports an input file and an output file (a filter program).
% You can use redirection. Pasta will invoke the filter program
% to preprocess the Pasta output before passing it to the printing
% command. By using the preprocess option, you can generate output
% formats other than the formats Pasta currently supports. For
% example, you can generate PCL output.
% You can use {infile} and {outfile} in this option.
% {infile} is the output file generated by Pasta. You can use
% it as input for the preprocessing command. It is a temporary
% file and will be deleted after being passed to the
% preprocessing command. {outfile} is the output file generated
% by the preprocessing command. Pasta names it temporarily and
% it will be deleted after being passed to the printing command.
% If you want to keep it, you can name it by using the '-o'
% command line option. Pasta will copy {outfile} to the file you
% specify.
% Preprocess for PDF output
% This is an example for PDF output to print.
; Xpdf
preprocess=/usr/local/bin/pdftops {infile} {outfile}
; Ghost Script
; preprocess=pdf2ps {infile} {outfile}
; Acrobat
; preprocess=acroread -toPostScript -pairs {infile} {outfile}
%% ============== Printing Command ========================= %%
% You can specify the printing command and options you want
% to use to print your report. Pasta will pass the final output
% to this command. {printername} will be replaced by the
% actual printer name passed through the command line option
% (-pn), so in most cases you don't have to change these
% options.
% for UNIX platform
printCommand=lp -c -d{printername}
% for Windows platform
ntPrintCommand=print /D:{printername}
%% ============== Error Log File =========================== %%
% This tells Pasta to create a log file. The default error
% output is stderr.
;errorlogfile=pasta.log
NOTE: pasta version 3.0.4
form server 6.0.8.27.0
third party tool is pdftops

Link between objects of universes and reports BO 5.1

Hallo!
I would like to know if there is a way to know which reports BO 5.1 use a specific object of a universe.
I thought the information was stored in the database repository, but I didn't find the link between reports and universes.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you very much,
Elena

If this question relates to BO 5.1, you'd probably be better served by posting the query in the Legacy Products forum [here|SAP BusinessObjects BI Legacy Products;.

Linking Between Pages in a document

Is it possible to link a page in a document to another page using hyperlink in Pages?
For example, if you have a 50 page document and you are on page 30, can u make a link so that if you press on it, it goes page 23?
Thanks for helping me out.

Hi Batman,
Pages09 User Guide on Page 111:
Linking to Other Pages in a Document.
You can download the User Guide from the Help menu in Pages. Well worth a read.

Linking between pages in same article

I'm making a report that contains only one article, that will scroll horizontally.
I want to make a table of contents.
Now I'm wondering what the best way is to do this.
I can use the "go to page" or "navto", but if I would insert new pages before the page linked to, it would all be messed up :-)
(and you know clients... ;-)
So the obvious thing for me is a text anchor.
But these are still not supported, right?
(neither is "go to destination")
Does anybody have a better idea to do this?
Thanks a lot!
Jill

Hi Bob,
thanks for the quick reply.
Too bad it's not one I hoped to receive
I'll just have to wait until the end to put in the buttons.
The reason for one article is a budget consideration.
It's much quicker to make a dps version of a printed report if I use only one article.
(It was a choice between having a few reports digital with articles or all reports but with horizontal scrolling)

Bookmarking/Linking Between Pages

I started with two documents, one in Illustrator (map) and then multiple pages (supporting documents) in Word.. PDFs (using v8 Pro) were generated from both and merged into one PDF document.
The map has 30 objects on it that I would like to link to specific supporting pages in the document. Additionally, I would like to link each of the supporting documents back to the map.
Is this something that I can do in Acrobat alone, or do I need to pull it all into InDesign and link everything there?
I would prefer to leave it in Acrobat if possible.
Thank you,
Christine

Figured it out!! :-)

Creating PDF with links, one page of my PDF I cannot scroll or view, the PDF just jumps to the next page. Help!

Hi Forum,
I have created a 14 page PDF with Adobe Acrobat XI. When I try to view page 13 (scrolling or just clicking on the page in thumbnails) it skips over 13 to 14 or goes back to 12. This started after creating links in the PDF from the 2nd and 3rd pages to certain page views. Is there a maximum? Right now I have about 20 or so within the document. I have updated Adobe and restarted my machine. Same issue exists. Thanks!

Here is the link. I would download because (as you know already I'm sure) links dont work in the Google Drive viewer.
Thanks!

Linking between pages is not working for me on mobile devices. Can someone help?

I can get the page linking to work on my desktop machine, but when I preview on mobile devices through Edge Inspect the page does not work. It tells me the page can't be found. Can someone help? - Thanks Robin

Try downloading Reflow Preview 8 that was released yesterday and see if that fixes it. If not can you post the name of the page you are trying to link too and I'll see if I can reproduce it.
Thanks for you help and thanks for using Reflow,
Chris

Link between Pages

Hi,
We need to create 2 pages in Dashboard and want to place all Dashboard filters in one page and the output in another page. We want when user click go button it should open another page which displays the result from filter page.
Please let me know if it is posible.
-Amit

In fact I don't understand the setup well...you first will do a select count from table based on prompt values, to execute this, you have to click already on the GO button?!
And when the retrieved number satisfies the user, he can click once again on the same go-button or another one to open the report?
In that case you can make use of a guided navigation or some html text to add a button like this <input type="button" value="Go To Report" onclick="GO DASHBOARD statement">
If haven't tried it out myself, but may this can help you.
Kr,
A

Can u create a 'slow merging' link between pages

I'm creating a link so when u click a word it loads another page but instead of an 'instant' transition, can u make it blend/merge slowly?
Thx

You can if the document is in full-screen mode (command-L) and you have a page transition (Preferences/Full Screen) ...
It's not Flash based transition quality as such but you might be able to fudge it ..

Links between pages

How do I link from one web page to a specific named anchor on another web page?

Actual "named anchors" are deprecated in html5. Instead, html5 allows you to link to the id of any element within a page as if it was a named anchor. If you're not using the html5 doctype, there's nothing to worry about though and you can follow CF's instructions.
If you are using html5, you should switch to the id anchor method. In that case, all you need to do is click an image or highlight a block of text and make sure it has an html id in the Properties window. Then link to it the same way CF mentions above...
<a href="page.html#id">Link</a>

PDF Report Using XML Publisher

Is there anyway to only print a field on the last page of a PDF report I know I can use
<?start@last-page:body?> <?end body?> in an RFT report but I don't see anything in the documentation for pdf's to have one field just print on the last page....
For example i have a purchase order report that I copied for a tif file converted it to a pdf and put the place holders on it, but when the po goes to two pages the total is on both. I would like just to see the total on the last page. I'm using pdf's because these templates are already done and all I have to do is put the place holders on them.
Is this possible with a pdf or only rtf's or is this issue resolved in the new release of xml publisher I'm currently using 5.6.1.
thanks for any help
Alex

Hi Alex
We do not have such support for the PDF templates nor immediate plans to add this and other RTF functionality, sorry.
You could continue to use the PDF as preprinted stationary or even scan the PDF and use it as a watermark image on an RTF template.
Regards, Tim
