Link to BookMark in PDF

Hi All,
We are developing one Dash Board, which is at Region level. This dashboard do all the calculations at store level.
We are publishing this as PDF through mail. The first page of dashboard is a summary of all stores, with store information and store score. This PDF also have bookmark to stores for that particular region.
Now we need to link from summary (field: store no) to corresponding bookmark page. So the user need not go to bookmark functionality of PDF to navigate to corresponding store.
Awaiting for your valuable comments.
Regards
Baby

Try %20 instead of spaces. HTML links are URL-encoded, and this is the usual translation of a single space, as for example can be seen in links in Google.
If it works, you can automatically convert the bookmark name to URL format with the function encodeURI ("Every non-alphanumeric character is encoded as a percent escape").

HTML link to bookmark in pdf file

Hi everyone,
I use the following suffix on an html link in order to link to a specific page within a pdf file: #page=15 This works but I need to know go one step further and link to a specific bookmark within the pdf. I use the following suffix to try to do this: #bookmark name The above syntax doesn't work because the bookmarks all have spaces in their names. Apparently it's supposed to work if I remove the spaces from the bookmark names but this isn't practical because I'm generating the pdf out of Indesign and the bookmarks in the resulting pdf are just a reflection of the table of contents in Indesign. I can't remove the spaces from the TOC entries just so that there's no spaces in the bookmarks in the pdf.
So I need some sort of workaround and wondered if anyone would have any suggestions. Is there some acrobat script or any other solution to this problem?
Really appreciate any help.

Pdf's Links and Bookmarks

Hello,
I know you can add links and bookmarks within a pdf, that will take you to other areas of that particular pdf. However, I need to put a link or bookmark into a pdf that will allow a user to click on a link in Captivate, Flash, Dreamweaver, etc and be taken directly to that section within the pdf.
Can you create a link on a website that will take you to a particular spot within a pdf? Or will it just open the pdf and display the first page, and then the user would have to scroll to that section?
If this can't be done, what is a good solution?

Thanks so much!

Link to bookmark in a pdf from embedded flash

I am using Acrobat 9, and have embedded a flash animation on page one of a pdf document as a "Table of Contents." I am using a Carousel of images to represent the different segments of the document, and have created bookmarks that I would like to have the user go to when the image is is clicked upon. Creating an external link to a website, etc. works fine, but I cannot determine the code to place in the <image link> so that when the user clicks on it, it goes to the appropriate bookmark inside of the pdf, or document page that corresponds to the subject represented by the image. Any help available?

Hi dannywg, the novapdf.com example doesn't work for me because it always generates the Open/Save/Cancel dialog.
I don't know about embedded media; I didn't realize PDFs had that feature. But the links in the following PDF work both in the Firefox 19 PDF Viewer and the Adobe Acrobat plugin: http://www.jeffersonscher.com/gm/Google-Hit-Hider-by-Domain_About_v150.pdf
'''Edit: Actually, I see a difference between the PDF Viewer and the Adobe Acrobat plugin.''' Adobe's plugin lets you click certain URLs that were not intentionally coded as links in the document (e.g., the URL in the footer). Firefox's PDF Viewer apparently does not have that feature (yet).
'''Edit: I don't know whether this feature will be added.''' Firefox doesn't treat text URLs in web pages as links. Add-ons such as [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/linkification/ Linkification] have been created to do that. No idea whether it works in the PDF Viewer.

Fast Web View breaking links/bookmarks in PDFs from Word 2007

I'm running Acrobat Pro 8.1.2 on WinXP, and I recently noticed an issue with PDFs that I'm creating from Word 2007. If I turn on the setting "Save As optimizes for Fast Web View," any links or bookmarks in the file break when I do a Save As. If I turn the setting back off, Save As doesn't break them.
I had had problems creating the PDFs using the PDFMaker plug-in for Word, so I used the Save As PDF or XPS feature from Microsoft instead.
PDFs created using FrameMaker are not giving me problems.
I don't know whether this is related, but the Settings button on the Save As dialog box is no longer active. I'm sure I was able to click it before, but I can't now. And that goes for PDFs from Word or FrameMaker.
Anyone have any clues?
===========================================

This is related to a bug in the direct PDF output from Word 2007. I was told that Microsoft has fixed this bug in the final SP2 release (so when the service pack becomes available, this problem will not be present).
Until then, the workaround is indeed to turn off the "Save As optimizes for Fast Web View" preference in Acrobat (Edit > Preferences > Documents, under Save Settings).

Add Bookmark in PDF File

Hi,
I have to add bookmark in pdf file, i tried so many ways. But no use.
i have a PDf with full text information, i want to add few text (Some words with in the PDF) from the content and need to add them in bookmark. i know i can add manulay but my pdf has 1000 to 2000 pages. so manual process is not easy. Is it any possible way to do in java?
if we need i can get all the word in separate file too. can i read the word from another file and can i add them as a bookmark?
for example, conside the below text which is available in my PDF. from this i want to add few word which is available in BOLD letters.
Delta Enterprises said it would contact the customers who bought 600,000 of these cribs to send them additional parts to make the mechanism safer.
+The other 985,000 cribs under recall, made in Indonesia and Taiwan, use safety pegs in the gate mechanism that customers must install.+
+The recall is one of the largest in US history and follows another recall of 2,000 cribs, also made in China, which was issued by the CPSC on Thursday. A five-month-old infant suffocated after being trapped between the mattress and the crib side and prompted the recall Playkids USA cribs.+
hope i explained clearly.
Please help me.. im struggling lot...
Thanks in advance.

It is, but only if you do it using a script, not through the built-in "Open a web link"-action. Add a "Run a JavaScript"-action with this code:
app.launchURL("http://www.google.com", true);
Of course, you can change the URL to whatever you want.

Bookmarks in PDF

Hi,
I'm working on creating a PDF ddocumeent from Smartforms. I can convert the OTF to PDF using CONVERT_OTF function. But is there a way to generate bookmarks in this PDF document ? .

I've been forced to use Acrobat 6 and 7 to recreate hyperlinks within any document created on a Mac (Word, Pages, etc.). I understand that Adobe page layout apps (e.g., InDesign) will retain links when creating a PDF (using Acrobat) however. It's a real time waster to create them in your original application, export it as a PDF, then recreate the links all over again in Acrobat. Acrobat can easily find and create links for URL's (mailto: or http:), but anything that you've nicely coded in the original application that hides the URL tag won't be recognized by Acrobat and you must use the Link Tool to create new ones. Acrobat's Word plug-in on Windows automatically keeps intra-document and URL tags and bookmark. Of course, the Mac Word plug-in does not. OpenOffice for OS X does not retain such information when creating PDFs either. Hopefully retention of links, bookmarks, etc., will be a surprise gift from Apple with Tiger?!! Let's hope!

Generate Dynamic Hyperlinks/Bookmarks in PDF Output.

Hi,
I'm trying to develop an RTF template which will generate the output with Bookmarks in PDF format. As per the Enterprise User Guide, <?copy-to-bookmark:?> or <?convert-to-bookmark:?> should be able to generate a static or dynamic bookmark, respectively. But, all my attempts in doing so go in vain.
Again, I have a summary page in front, and detail pages suffixed; hence, I am trying to create a link on the summary page field, to the respective detail page. But, I am not sure of the steps.
Example:
Page1:
Deptno. Dname Number of Employees
10 Production 15
20 Research 8
etc...
Page2 Onwards
Deptno. 10
Dname. Production
EMPNO ENAME SAL
7782
Kindly advise if anyone has any idea about this.
Thanks,
L. Mukunthan.

Possible to enter hyperlinks or other type of interfile links that function within PDF Package?

We deliver our product as a PDF Package. The only apparent benefit is slightly enhanced search function and file navigation and more 'professional' appearance. BUT the huge downside is the loss of hypertext links between files.
Our product comprises 90 modules all functioning seamlessly via a "Cartesian join": every module to every module. In this way, the collection of PDFs emulates a Help product when NOT packaged and when located in a single folder. User can navigate information (interfile) via hypertext links.
Once packaged the hypertext links do not work, and even worse (i think I recall) display as errors in the PDF, so hyperlink field codes must be removed versus left in the file latent, in order to create the Package.
We removed > 5000 hyperlinks in order to package the PDFs. Now I am unsure of the benefit. The loss of dynamic links between files greatly reduces usability as users must follow hard text references to other files, and must locate the target section manually by clicking bookmarks and searching on key words, in the PDF Package. Feels like the dark ages of print.
Can anyone suggest a workaround (any type of link functionality) that enables links that dynamically open target file, when user clicks linked text IN A PDF PACKAGE (where PDFs have been packaged using the Create Package function)?
We would like to restore that functionality to our PDF deliverable while still delivering as a Package.
Thanks in advance for any responses.

I read where PDF Package was introduced in Acrobat 8. I am using Acrobat Pro 9. I went from 7 directly to 9 so I've never seen Acrobat 8. It appears to me that PDF Package you refer to has been replaced with PDF Portfolio because I don't have the option when combining files to create a package. Are you using Acrobat version 8?
I create all of my links between PDFs using an Acrobat plug-in called Compose. It has an option that allows for relative links. I've never used Word to link between documents so I don't think I can be of help. I have used InDesign for that purpose and they work for me. I do not combine my PDFs into a "package" or a "portfolio" per se. They remain as separate files just like they were on the system I created them on. I burn them to a CD, folders and all, and use bookmarks and links to navigate between all of them.
I think we are doing two completely different things so I wouldn't be much help. Sorry.

IWeb • How Do I Make Links in an Embedded PDF Document Open in New Page?

On this page http://ostyn-newman.com/Gov_Downloads.html I have a PDF document that is embedded. I tried an IFrame, but everything seemed to work better for me with the "Embed" code. I am open to changing this if it would be better. Here's my problem. I can get the PDF document to display fine, but when I click on the links in the PDF document, the destination page opens in the embedded window. I want the links to open the destination in a new window.
I created the part of the document with most of the links (Pages 8.5 - 56) in Numbers and cut and pasted the table into a Pages document to create the completed document on our site. I exported the docuemnt from Pages as a PDF file which is what you see. There is also a link to download the file on the same page which works just fine.
I have tried to insert the target="_blank" code but have not been able to get it to open the destination pages in a new window. I am inserting the code by using the Insert/Widget/HTML Snippet Feature in IWeb. Here is the code I am using.
<embed src=
"http://ostyn-newman.com/Media/GS27F0026XTextfile.pdf"
style="width:850px; height:1000px;
border-width:0px;
border-color:#FFCC66;
border-style:solid;"
scrolling="auto" >
</embed>
I am not a coder and have just used Google to find the code to cut and paste and have played around with it to get to the place I am. If anybody can tweak the code I have or offer some totally new code for me to insert that will get this to work would be greatly appreciated.
Please keep in mind that most of the people who visit and use this page are government employees and are almost exclusivey using Explorer.

Thank you Jeff,
I tried your original suggestion and now my inserted html widget reads
<embed src=
"http://ostyn-newman.com/Media/GS27F0026XTextfile.pdf"
style="width:850px; height:1000px;
border-width:0px;

border-style:solid;"
scrolling="auto" target="_blank">
</embed>
It is live on my site. You can see that the embedded document still opens the destination links in the embedded window.
As for your other two suggestions, thank you as well. I am aware of those techniques and did not use them because that is not how I want the other PDF links on the page to behave. The catalog and autocad blocks downloads in the box at the top should simply download (or behave however the client's browser is configured to handle downloaded PDF documents or zip files.) I don't intend to force those to open a new window. I could also have our client click on a link to the PDF document and open it in a new page (like in your second suggestion) but I was hoping to embed the PDF and have it automatically viewable on our Download • Terms • Prices Page with all of the PDF search functions intact as well as the links be active. My only complaint at this point is that the links in the embedded PDF document open the destination page in the embed window instead of a new window. I only want to force a new window because the destination window doesn't behave properly when it opens in my embed window and it is difficult to figure out how to go back to the my PDF document when a destination window gets opened in the embed window. The code you sent didn't do the trick. Or maybe I didn't get it exactly right. That is why I included it above. Thanks for trying though. I appreciate the effort.
I would be willing to bypass the imbed/iFrame route altogether if I could just somehow drop the Pages document into the IWeb page and retain the search and link features, but I've not been able to figure out how to do that. When I was exploring how to directly drop a Pages document into an IWeb page is when I stumbled on the method of embedding a PDF document into an IWeb page to retain the important search and link features.

Creating a link to make a pdf download

Can anyone tell me how to make a link so that a pdf file will download? I currently have a button with a link to a pdf. I can get the pdf to open in a new window, but I really just want it to download automatically to the viewers' desktop, or at least to give them that option.

you cannot control what happens with a pdf file - this is determined by the viewers browser preferences.
The only way to guarantee the file is downloaded is to .zip it
As it happens, in my experience, most peoples browser preferences are set to download pdf files anyway

Inserting a link to access a PDF in a Pages newsletter?

I am creating a newsletter and would like to include some forms and additional PDF's that the readers can access through clicking on links in the newsletter, versus adding the entire form or PDF as an additional page in the newsletter. After clicking on the link I want the PDF's to open in a new document window. I want the entire thing to be accessible offline so the PDF's would need to be included in the newsletter when it is downloaded...is this called embedding?
Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Unexpected problem with links to URLs in PDFs

Hi all
I have some PDFs that contain some URLs which when hovered over or clicked behave as expected. I need to put these PDFs through our preflight software which checks and fixes things and writes out a new file. When the new PDF is viewed it no longer has active links. I can't change the preflight software but I just want to understand what's happening. The links in the PDFs are not created manually within whatever program created them (eg, Indesign) but are just make links by Acrobat/Reader (because the "Create links out of URLs option" is on) - if I turn that option off the links in the original PDFs stop working. In my tests some links still work in the new PDF but others not, but I can't see why some would and some wouldn't. Also, the links in the new PDFs that did work often didn't work the first time you opened the PDF but would the second time they were opened (after the program was restarted). The whole thing is just weird!
The text in question is selectable text in the PDF (not vectorised or rasterised) and works consistently before the file is preflighted. But if it is still selectable text in the new PDF why wouldn't Acrobat/Reader show the links as normal. What could the preflight software have possibly done that would mess up that process?
I'm checking the files in Acrobat Pro 10.1.10 (Windows), 8.3.1 and 9.5.5 on Mac.
Any suggestions appreciated.
thanks,
Iain

True. It preflights the original PDF and writes out a new file. The text in question is still selectable (not vectorised or rasterised) text in the PDF it outputs. Are there any special criteria for text that can't be made into links by Acrobat/Reader?
I have created a couple of examples that illustrate the problem - that might help pinpoint exactly where the problem is occurring - https://www.dropbox.com/s/ltqxcht9ydgh9or/examples.zip. The "proper" hyperlink (created in ID) doesn't survive the process, which I expected. The web address at the bottom of the advert is not a proper hyperlink (it stops working if you turn off the "Create links out of URLs" option) but works in the before file but not the after.

Links (urls) inside a pdf document are not enabled by the New firefox pdf preview feature but are in Chrome & IE

The new pdf preview feature in firefox desktop does NOT seem to activate any links (urls) inside the pdf meaning they are no longer clickable.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem.
I send out product information using pdf's with clickable links inside (as do lots of businesses) and this loss of clickable links functionality is a problem.
I also tried the same pdf files in IE and Chrome and their inline pdf previews keep all links fully working.
I know the pdf preview in firefox can be deactivated and the adobe reader can be used instead but in reality lots of people won't know how to do this or won't be troubled to find out how and will just move on.
Does anyone know if this feature is going to be fixed or supported or is it a deliberate security feature.
Thanks.
JP.

Hey JPEdwards,
The PDF.js team is still hard at work on the built-in viewer. It looks like there is already a bug on file for this and they are aware of it:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=821599
Please don't post in the bug if you are just confirming that you've seen the problem too. That clutters the tickets ;)

Links between two separate PDF documents - one as reference for another.

Hello, everyone.
I have a special project that I believe would be best addressed with the creation of two independent but linked PDF files. Let me be more detailed.
My plan is to create a PDF file as a text document. In this text document there will be numerous references to documents and articles that I intend to place in a second PDF file. I would like the user to be able to open the text document PDF on the left side of his computer screen and also open the reference PDF with documents and articles on the right side of his computer screen. Every time the user comes across a section of the document that offers a link to an external reference the user would be able to click on it and the PDF on right would display the page corresponding to the reference on the PDF on the left. I hope this makes sense.
Is it possible to create PDFs with this type of relationship ? I am guessing that in order for these links to work both PDFs will have to reside in the same directory so that the links (relative links in this case) may work properly. Is this true ? How can I make this work and is there a good document I can read or tutorial I can watch that would describe this in detail ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello, try67.
Considering what you share I don't think this solution is the right one for me. I am trying to find a simple solution that would allow me to accomplish this task. Considering it would require scripting or programming the solution has just become more complex than what I feel I can comfortably handle.
Thank you anyway for your help.
