Link to attached file

Hi,
I have a PDF with and a file attached to it (Excel sheet). I want to make a link in my document to open the attached file. How can I do that?
The background:
I was not my first idea to attach the file. I would like better linking the file which is normally on a mapped network drive. I have to share my PDF between users and I did no manage putting an absolute link into my PDF. If the first part of my question does not work, can someone tell me how I can put a static (link will never change), absolute link to a file which is on a mapped network drive?
Thanks to all,

It's possible, but only using a script... (I was talking about linking to an attached file, not an external file on a server)

Include a link to attached files: is it possible?

Hi all,
I have a problem I hope you can help me with.
When using Acrobat,Pro you can add attachments to a PDF file and include a link in the PDF file to this attachment. As a result, if you click on the link, the attachment will open in a new window.
Now, I have created a form in LiveCycle Designer, and on the bottom of the form I would like to include a link to an attached file. However, it seems that I cannot edit the newly created form in Acrobat Pro. Hence, I am not able to include a link to the attached file using the method described above.
I cannot find an option to attach files in LiveCycle Designer, nor a way to link to an attachment. Am I overlooking something, or is it just not possible to include a link to an attachment in a form created in LiveCycle Designer?
Many thanks in advance for your reply!

Hi,
I guess it is too late now, but you can do this in a LiveCycle Designer form. Just the same as an Acrobat form, except you refer to the Doc object as event.target. So to attach a file use this JavaScript;
if (event.target.importDataObject("MyAttachedFile"))
var attachmentObject = event.target.getDataObject("MyAttachedFile");
console.println("Attachment path="+attachmentObject.path);
And, this will open it.
event.target.exportDataObject({ cName: "MyAttachedFile", nLaunch: 2 });

Mailto link with attached file

Hi
I'm trying to find out how to make a mailto link where a
predefined file is attached. I have not yet succeded. Can any one
help me?
I'm making at intranet where I have a lot of templates. When
you click on the link for the specific template I would like to
open as a mail where the template is attached. I have heard it
should be possible to incoorporate in the mailto attribute. Is that
correct and in case; how?
Best regards/Jean

You cannot do this with a mailto: link. You would have to use
the better
method of server scripting to attach a file.

Linking an Attachment

I am using Adobe Acrobat X to create a board book. I have learned that if I add a link to the document, the adobe reader on the ios will not be able to open the file because it is not hooked up to our network to retrieve it from the specific location. So I got the idea that I could just attach the document to the pdf file and then link that attached file so it would open. I have tried many ways to link the attached file, but I cannot find a way to make it succeed. Is this possible and if so, how can I do it?

Not possible.
Adobe Reader for iOS is relatively new, and not as capable as PDF readers on Mac or Windows.

How Can I Attach and Link an XML file to a 3D Model in a PDF?

How Can I Attach and Link an XML file to a 3D Model in a PDF?
What I am trying to do is find out how to have a 3D model and a parts list linked to it within the PDF file. I would also like to be able to add to the parts list if at all possible once the pdf has been created. A template to create future PDF's with the 3D model and list might also be useful.
I am not entirely sure if this is all possible within a PDF file, but I have viewed a PDF (Adidas Trainer) example which has a Excel file attached to it which links to the 3D model. I have also had a look at partner products such as Lattice, Tetra4D, Anark, which can do animations and all sorts, but frankly it seems a bit overkill for what I am looking to do.
Please, any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I wrote about it while ago, let me paste the whole thing.
This example has simple
buttons which upon click go to new sites and in the same time
place record in form
of *.SOL file on user drive. That record is read when you hit
the next button and
based on that the button will be selected as the one last
clicked.
You could use the very same thing just instead of suppressing
button simply gotoAndPlay frame
to continue the part you need.

Help Please - having difficulties creating af link from the text to an attached file i acrobat

I have been reading the help, but it just wonn't work when I try.
I have tried as followed (I am working with a danish version, and hope to matched the same word as in the english version of Acrobat Xpro):
1. From the toolbox i choose content and then 'hyperlink'
2. I mark the text from which i wish to make a link
3. Acrobat respond with an popup picture 'create a link'
4. From the popup I mark 'Open a side' and push 'next'
5. Acrobat respond with a new popup picture 'create / go to a side'
6. I go to the navigator and open the list with attached file's that I have embedded in my acrobat file.
7. I mark the to which i wish to make a link to
8. In the popup 'create / go to a side' that stilll is open, i push 'Mark hyperlink'
Then I hoped that I have created a link from the acrobat text to the attached file. In stead Acrobat has made a link to the same sidenumber that respond to the text from which i wish to make a link . F.ex. the linktext is on side 10 - then the link goes to side 10.
How do i do it right?
Please help.

Hello Bernd
Thanks for a quick respond.
This corresponds to the text I have tried myself, but apparently I do something wrong
1.      Open a PDF that contains a PDF file attachment – done
2.      Go to where you want to create a link. If that location is in the file attachment, click the Attachments button in the navigation pane, select the file attachment, and click open.
Here I go to side number 10 from which I wish to make a link from (I am not open the attachment file at this moment, as the location not is inside the file attachment).
(I earlier also tried to mark the attachment file and click open, and It result that the attached file just opened normally without creating a link to the file).
3.      Choose Tools > Content > link, and select the area for the link
Here I mark the text on side 10 from which I wish to make a link to a attached file
4.      In the Create Link dialog box, set the link appearance, select Go To A Page View, and then click Next
Here I have selected ‘Go to a page view’ as told and I click Next
5.      Set the page number and view magnification you want, either in the parent PDF document or in the file attachment, and then click set link.
Here I go to the navigation pane and mark the attached file from the file list (the files in the list hasn’t any side number in the list) and then I click Set Link.
Then I hoped that I have created a link from the acrobat text to the attached file. In stead Acrobat has made a link to the same sidenumber that respond to the text from which i wish to make a link . F.ex. the linktext is on side 10 - then the link goes to side 10.
What do I do wrong.?

Attachement file links in JSP dont open

Hi All,
In my JSP page, I have attachment file links which are as follows:
xlserror.ppt
When I click on the link, a new browser opens and it shows all garbage. The browser is not able to find PowerPoint application to display the file. What could be the problem? Am using Win NT as my server and Tomcat as the JSP container.
Previously I had this application in IIS, ASP combination which opened all the attachments in the browser by finding the correct application.
Another question is:
Is how you name the file critical? Coz following is one of the prblems that I have seen. If I name the file "xlserror#1.ppt" then following is the link:
xlserror#1.ppt
When I click on the link, the browser goes to the following location:
http://domain/MyApp/Attachments/757/xlserror
and therefore I get "resource not found" error. Is using '#' in the filename not good practice? I never had this experience with ASP.
Regards,
m_asu

1) For your browser to know what application to use you have to declare the kind of content you are sending to the browser.
So you have to set the content type of the response object with the proper MIME type.
For ppt files, i think is application/vnd.ms-powerpoint or something similar, check it.
2)About the # character: If you have a # in your url ( www.server.com/app/docum#ent) ,your browser will ask for the www.server.com/app/docum and then will scroll down the page till the ent anchor.
(This is basic html. Maybe you should go to the w3schools.com ;) )
HTH

Previously, after I moved an attached file to another folder, there still remain a link so that I can click and open the file; but now there is no more link.

Previously, when I got an email with an attached file, I can take out the file to different folders as I desire and then a filelink would take the place of the file in the email. In this way, when I opened email again, I can click the filelink and open the attached file in the folder to which I had moved.
Now, I find that there is no more such filelink after I take out the file. The attached file cannot be opened within the email now. Is the program changed or I miss anything?

did you install an add-on that did that? or are you thinking of another mail program like Eudora?

Problem with attaching file to Sales Order

Hello,
In my company we have the possibility to attach files to sales orders, e.g. pdf files with the printing details.
These files are added by the GUI user, this works fine.
Now we have an extra order creation stream in which a pdf file has to be added to the SO without user interaction.
I found a helpful link ( /people/rammanohar.tiwari/blog/2005/10/10/generic-object-services-gos--in-background )
This program creates URL links with no problem, but the file generation is not implemented yet.
I tried to add the file functions to his sample report but still have one problem. The file is uploaded, but not reported as a PDF file in sap. If I select the created attachment SAP allows only the saving of the attachment. After saving the created file is a good PDF file, it opens with PDF-viewers.
Why does SAP not know this is a PDF file and report it as such (and open the pdf viewer when selected).
Thanks, Frank.

Hi,
Welcome to the SDN Forums!!!
You need to supply the PC file extension in the container element 'DOCUMENTTYPE'.
swc_set_element lt_message_container 'DOCUMENTTYPE' p_msgtyp.
In your case change the above statement as below:
swc_set_element lt_message_container 'DOCUMENTTYPE' 'pdf'.
<b>OR</b> change the default value of p_msgtyp to 'PDF'.

Link to a file in the jsp page does not open correctly

Hi all,
I have a JSP application which is similar to a discussion forum and the messages usually carry a link to an attachment file which could be of any extension.
The client pool I am dealing with are concerned only with MS Word/Excel/PPT files. When the user clicks on the file, a new browser window opens but it does not open the file in the correct application. I know that browsers can display Doc, ppt and xls files.
In my case, the browser just shows some garbage. THe link is to the correct file, I know that because I can right click and download the file and then open it in the correct application. But I want browser to find the application and open the file.
Can somebody give me hints as to what may be wrong?
Also, I am in the development stage and therefore I have only 100 odd messages in the database. Many have attachements. But only one attachment to a particular message works well..ie the browser finds MS Word and displays the doc.
Why not the remaining doc/ppt files?
Help please!!
Thanks in advance.

I can not install the 'attach files more easily' facility in my yahoo email. Is this because I now have the latest version of Firefox? I had it on my previous version.

To send photos I need the 'attach files more easily' facility in my Yahoo email. After I recently upgraded my broadband so that I now get 37mb speed, Firefox (and Internet Explorer) started to 'not respond' so I un-installed it then re-installed it. I got the latest version of Firefox and now I can't get the facility back again. Have you got any suggestions? Yahoo have not been able to help.

I could only find this link, hoping it will work:
Network.ftp.idleConnectionTimeout

Check and tell if its working.

I cannot attach files in Gmail within Firefox. I can attach files in Gmail from Chrome and IE.

I know it has been mentioned elsewhere too ( https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/999383 ), but I cannot reply to that message... so, here it is again, with full details of the testing we have performed so far....
ALL users or our organization are currently affected.
When you try to attached a doc, xls, pdf, etc. in Gmail the results are all the same in Firefox. You get a red bar with "attachment failed" and an option to cancel or retry.
We have tested with our Proxy On and Off. We have tested with no extensions loaded (I get the message with my 3 extensions on or off -- Adblock+, Ghostery, HTTPS Everywhere). Versions on which the issue has been seen include 25, 26, 28, 28.0.1 and 29.0.1 (the latest as of this post). Most users in our organization do not use extensions with Firefox.
Attachments link up just fine in IE 10 and 11, and Chrome (with Adblock, Ghostery, and HTTPS Everywhere turned on). This error is only seen in Firefox, with or without plug-ins.
Operating Systems used for testing were Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
The issue was first reported to us today, 5/13/14, but it is unknown if the issue has been around longer. However, Firefox is our organization's default browser due to countless web software vendor recommendations. We most likely would have heard before today if the issue has happened previously.
Any tips or suggestions would be welcome here.

Without trying any of the fixes, the issue seems to have gone away on its own. All users (of about 7 reporting in) can attach files within Gmail using Firefox as of 5/15. We did not try any of the 4 fixes listed above. On 5/13 and 5/14, users could not attach files to Gmail messages within Firefox.
However, on the day of the issue we did try all the mentioned fixes (except #4). All affected users had all history and cache wiped, updated to v29.0.1, and the latest Flash plug-in from Adobe.com. We have the browsers set to clear all history, temp files, cookies, etc. at exit to avoid any cached data issues. We tried with proxy on and off too. Attachments were in the 20K-35K range, so very small. They failed on 5/13 and 5/14 within Firefox, but attached fine in IE and Chrome on the same days.
So, not sure what the issue was, what caused, or why it went away... but we cannot reproduce today, as of 5/15.
Thanks for the tips. I'll bookmark them if the issue reappears.

It does work if I switch to the "older version" of Gmail.
Does anybody know if there's a setting I can change so I can use Gmail normally but be able to add attachments to mail?
Anybody else having this issue?
Your profile indicates you are running a very old version of Leopard which might explain the issue.
Update to 10.5.8 using the combo update (not the auto software update) and see if that fixes your problem.
