Link to a document - can't edit

Hi Folks,
We are in the midst of setting up a document center for our BPM docs. We have a few main folders with the actual documents uploaded and we have a bunch of other folders that i have created links to the documents in the main folders. here are the problems
im having.
1. when i click the linked document the only option i have is to download it, i can edit any other doc (not linked) in it's appropriate application just fine. is there a way to set the linked doc to edit like the doc it is linked to?
2. the versioning of the linked doc seems to have it's own set up....i don't see the same versions on it that i do on the doc it is linked to...seems wrong.
Anyone have any ideas?
thanks.
Colin Stewart

Hi Colin,
Firstly , if you want the linked documents to open in browser, you need to set the original library and linked library to open documents in browser.
You can do as :
LIBRARY->Library settings->Advanced settings
on the ‘Opening Documents in the Browser’ section, select ‘Open in browser’
Then open a document, it will be opened in browser, copy the URL of the document from the web address.
Edit the related linked document properties, change its web address with the copied URL in step3
Click Save
Repeated step 3 to step 5 for all original documents and linked documents
For the original documents and linked documents, they are different entities. The version history of the linked documents is only display the change on the linked documents. If you want to view the version history of original documents, you need to the location
of the original documents.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

Secured document - can't edit

I created a form and saved it. Now it won't let me edit. It says it's a secured document.

Cannot enter anything on new Pages document , Can open, edit existing pages docs

Peculiar.
New Imac 21. inch with IWork installed at Apple Store (1:1 setup). Pages worked fine for a couple of weeks
This week, open fresh document trom template chooser. clean document opens but cannot type on it
Can open existing pages document and work with it.
Can open word or applework documents, work with them and a save as pages document which is workable
It is just the fresh documents
Is the problem the template? IF so, how do I replace the template?

Thanks, VIking but I do not think I used the Template instead of WP
I went to New and cnose a Blank document in Portrait orientation.
Cannot directly type on it
If I first insert a shape, without fill color, I can then write on the document and save it
The issue seems to be the BLANK document
Frankly,I saw this issue on my uncle's new computer, he is new to pages, mourning the loss of Appleworks and was terribly upset when he tried to write a new document choosing Blank and found he could not write on it
He has a vanilla new iMac with nothing on it which might cause a problem
I just replicated the issue on my own Retina display MBP .
"Blank" does not allow input of direct typing.

How to create a PDF Dokument what i can't edit after save?

I would like to create a PDF Formular and save this - the safety document can´t edit because i will send it.

Once you have the PDF, open it in Acrobat and use ctrl-D to get the document properties and select security. The security is not perfect, but may meet your needs.

How do you edit-in a "stop" into a screen recording and then insert a "button" to link to a document

Ok, so I am working on my first Captivate project. So far so good (mostly). I want to interupt a screen capture recording that I now have. Currently, it captures a pdf screen and an audio narration. I want to have a button appear at a certain time within the recording were the user can click it and be taken to another pdf document in which the user will have to read the document and take a quiz on the content. This action of clicking the button will stop the recorded screen narration and allow unlimited time to read the linked document and complete the quiz. Upon completing the quiz, the user will click the continue button and be returned to the screen capture recording where they left off. Sooooooo........How do I do this??????????
Will I have to split the screen capture recording into two slides in order to make it stop when the button appears?
Will I have to, or can I, insert a branching slide function at any point in my screen capture recording?
Is it best to connect the button directly to the pdf file or to a url on my intranet?
All help will be much appreciated!
Thanks,
John

Too bad, you should know that full motion is mostly not the best choice in Captivate, because not only the filesize is much larger, but editing is a lot more difficult than with the, for CP, more natural capturing mode Automatic (or Custom) where static slides are produced whenever possible and only will be reverted to FMR when necessary.
Between the editing possibilities for FMR you have splitting, which could help you.
Or else, try to view the FMR by using Preview slide (F3 or the play icon on the Timeline, or space bar). Pause on the place where you want to have a pausing. The playhead in CP5.5 will remain on that frame, you can see at which second it is placed. Now insert a button, that will be placed with the start of its timeline at the position of the playhead. If this is really the place where you want to pause, you have to change the timing of that button so that the pausing point is exactly at that place. You can move the button timeline with the mouse, or perhaps better by using shortcut keys: arrow keys (left/right) will move 0,1sec in that direction, CTRL-arrow 1 sec. You can check, edit ths Pause at also in the Timing accordion of the Properties panel of the button.
You will have to insert as action for that button Open URL or File.

I am trying to convert a PDF into a document that can be edited - it's a client feedback form. I am using Adobe forms Central and it's saying that it can't use my document.

Hi Michelle ,
We are extremely sorry that you have had a bad experience with Adobe .
As far as your issue is concerned ,Acrobat generally prompts for internet connection as it is required to activate the product before you could use it comfortably .Once the product is activated or licensed you would be able to use the software offline .
This could be the possible reason you are experiencing this .Please check if you have done so and still facing this .And if you have not ,you need to license/activate your product by typing in your credentials ,i.e Adobe ID and password .
You could also refer the following link to get updated about the activation of your product .

How do I link pages similar to my e-edition newspaper? I subscribe to an app version of my complete local newspaper. When reading an article on page 1a I can click a link to continue to read on page 4a. Then it flips through the paper to page 4a.

When reading an article on page 1a I can click a link to continue to read on page 4a. Then it flips through the paper to page 4a. Once done reading 4a I can click a link back to page 1a. I would like to embed these links in a 100+ page document in order to flip back and forth throughout it for quick reference.

You can do this on your computer using Adobe Acrobat. Buy the program and learn how to create complex PDFs.

I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

The application Acrobat provides no language translation capability.
If you localize the language for OS, MS Office applications, Acrobat, etc to the desired language try again.
Alternative: transfer a copy of content into a web based translation service (Bing or Google provides a free service).
Transfer the output into a word processing program that is localized to the appropriate language.
Do cleanup.
Be well...

When adding a PDF file to a New Message in Mail it does not show up as an icon link, the entire document appears. How can you attach a PDF without the entire document displaying itself?

After scanning a document, I save the file in a PDF format. When attaching the PDF file to a New message it appears on the entire page instead of a PDF icon link that the recipient can click on to open. Why can't I get the PDF file to appear in a icon format? Thank you.

Control mouse click the document and select View as icon.

If I receive a document as a PDF or WORD Doc in an email, can I edit them. As in, if the doc is a template, how do I open it and fill the template in?

Can I edit a document that was sent to me, like a template? I cant seem to figure out how to do this, I am a new MAC user

If you look in App Store you will find Apple's own Pages which can read, edit, and export Microsoft Word compatible .DOC or .DOCX files. There is also another interation of the previously mentioned OpenOffice which is NeoOffice, NeoOffice uses the same open source kernel as OpenOffice, but wraps it in a Cocoa wrapper which provides access to virtually all of OS X's file and data managment features and is one of the fastest office suites avaiable for the Mac.

InDesign CS3 - Created ToC, now can't edit the rest of the document

I have a small document -- about 56 A5 pages, no graphics or placed files, just styled text with tables -- in which I created two new pages after the title page and created a Table of Contents for insertion in them.
I applied a new Object Style to the ToC text frames to drop them to two columns -- the rest of the document is in one column.
Now I can't access any of the document for text editing except the Table of Contents. I can select any of the text frames with the selection tools, but as soon as I go to the text tool the cursor jumps to the end of the ToC. If I try to edit it in Story Mode, only the ToC text displays.
What am I doing wrong? How do I get at the rest of my document for editing? I haven't experienced this behaviour before at all.

OK, I found out what was going on.
When I inserted the ToC, it overflowed the two pages I had alloted for it before I reset its text frames to 2 columns. As a result, it created a bunch of extra text frames on top of the existing copy.
When I reconfigured the ToC text styles to fit its two pages, those text frames were left behind, but invisible -- whenever I tried to edit text on those pages, I was actually inserting the text cursor into these invisible text frames. Once those extra frames were deleted, I could get at the underlying frames directly again.
I worked this out when I discovered that I could get the cursor into text on later pages and then page-up into the pages that had been overlaid.
I haven't yet found any way of seeing what objects are on a given page apart from just looking at it, so I don't really know how to avoid this issue in future.

After the last update I lost a lot of documents I had edited and saved in my tablet. Any option to recover them? Now I can only access the documents of the cloud.

How can I send scanned files, which are documents changed from doc to PDF, as documents that can be edited if the recipient doesn't have Adobe capabilities?

Hi flaviusjack,
If you still have the .doc files, it might be best to send those to your recipients so they can be edited. Otherwise, you can use ExportPDF to convert the PDF files back to .doc format. But, again, that step would be unnecessary if you have the .doc files.
Best,

How can I get firefox to open links to .smil documents ?

Firefox does not open .smil docs correctly. I get news updates from RTE.ie (ireland's national radio station's website) in which all headlines are links to .smil documents which firefox just asks whether to download instead of opening the relevant document. Is there a setting or plugin to handle .smil documents? or other solution?
Thanks,
Aidan.

You can place a shortcut to the Firefox program in the Startup folder in "Start > Programs" by dragging the Firefox shortcut from the desktop or by dragging the Firefox entry in "Start > Programs > Mozilla Firefox" to that folder (or use Copy/Paste to achieve this).
