Link to local PDF-file / or html (not web-view)
Hi,
i posted this in the prerelease-forum and got no answear so i thought i give it a try and post here.
i see it is possible to link to a local pdf file with the webview function.
but i want to show a local pdf-file in the app-browser. the one in which linked websites are shown and where i can click "done" to close the window.
i've seen it f.e. in the "new yorker" app where f.e. the cartoon gallery is shown in this browser, so it has to be possible.
does anybody know how this could work?

Your code is a mess:
** there is no apparent reason for the span:
<td><span class="style1"
onfocus="MM_openBrWindow('pdf/PR_launch.pdf','','')">Milford, OH
So change that line to:
<td>Milford, OH
** here you have two double quotes before This.
<a title="This" class="pdfFile"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('pdf/PR_Launch.pdf','','')"
Change it to this, (with some other improvements):
<a title="This" class="pdfFile"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow(this.href,'','');return false"
** This is code salad:
href="PR_Launch.pdf" link="" will="" open="" a=""
.pdf=""
file.="">More (PR_Launch.pdf,
230kb)</a></span></td>
Change it to:
href="pdf/PR_Launch.pdf">More (PR_Launch.pdf,
230kb)</a></td>
If you continue to have trouble, you might find my divaPOP
Extension
easier, and far more powerful. It automat6ically opens pdf
files and
links to all external files in a popup window without your
needing to
code each link:

When visiting a site I frequent I tried to download a linked .pdf file. Previously I've used Firefox 7.0.1 to download the link with no problem. Using Firefox 8 however I the browser does not recognize the .pdf link's mime type. Instead of recognizing the download link as a .pdf file Firefox 8 tries to download it as "index.php". Firefox 8 does this with .doc files and .txt files as well. When I downgrade to 7.0.1 again the problem disappears.
Hi hakmacpace,
I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
You could also try [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles?s=create+a+new+profile&r=2&e=es&as=s#w_creating-a-profile Creating a new profile].
Hopefully this helps! -
Generating PDF-files from HTML-page saved as Unicode?
I have followed this Quick Start on how to generate a PDF-file from HTML using web services in .NET: http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/programLC/programmer/help/000093.html
It works just fine when the html-page is saved as ANSI, but when it's saved as UNICODE I get problem. The code runs without errors but the PFD looks really strange. Any suggestions on how to solve this? I really need to use UNICODE as my application needs to handle different languages (including for example Chinese).I found out that UTF-8 worked as well so the problem is solved. :-)

when selecting a link to a pdf file , I'm only given the choice to save it ..not view it ? How do I change that ..?
That depends on how the server sends the file.
If this is a MIME (content) type that is supported by other software then you can open the file automatically.
If the file is send with a generic content type like application/octet-stream or as Content-Disposition:attachment then you can only save the file.

Meeting agendas (in pdf format) have 'web links' to other pdf files, but Safari says not enough info in the webaddress. But it works O.K. in Windows Explorer.
Open browser preferences
ex Safari>Preferences>Extentions and un-enable any ext that mabe interferring , ex divX
or open Help> installed Plug-ins and remove Adobe Acrobat.
if still a problem
Quit Safari.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, copy the text on the line below into the box that opens, and press return:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
A Finder window will open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open.
Launch Safari and test. Its settings will have reverted to what they were they first time you launched it. If it works as expected, recreate the settings and delete the item you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put the file you moved back where it was, overwriting the newer one created in its place. -

How do I link to a .pdf file in a blog post?
I have a created a new blog post and want to link to a .pdf file. I have the file loaded to the file manager but when I click on the link icon in the editor the only files that show up are web pages.
Is there a way to link to a file other than setting up the link other than writing the HTML by hand?I totally agree with you on the confusion of that form for the literature module. Even after I have used it a lot I still find myself trying to upload the file at the same time. As you say - it only makes sense. But you'll get used to it. ;-)
As far as the module way of doing it instead of coding it in, there is so much more flexibility this way. In your example you have one document which isn't bad ... but what if you had to list 100 documents in your page that are located in several different locations on the server? Now it's a simple task of adding one tag and your done.
Other advantages:
1: Your documents can be found in the site search
2: Recods and displays file type and size to the viewer so they can choose to download it or not.
There is more but after years of the individual code way, I so love this Literature Module and the flexibility it gives. -
Linking button to PDF file with published Windows Executable
Hello all,
I've been using Captivate 1 for years. I have always linked
buttons to PDF files. The only thing I really ever had to remember
was to take away the local directory address so where as only the
filename was left. When I burned to CD I would just leave
everything top-level.
Well, for some reason now Captivate won't launch my pdf file
(and yes I put the ".pdf"). It launches my web browser looking for
a web address. Here's what I do. I create a new text or image
button, next I select "open url or file". Finally I select the file
through the browse window. I immediately take off the local
directory before the filename because everything is located
top-level on the CD's I produce.
Please help, anyone. BTW I am experiencing the same thing on
Captivate 2. I'm afraid I'm doing something silly wrong since it's
been awhile. Thanks in advance .Hi Charles,
Does by any chance you have upgraded your Flash Player
recently? Flash Player 8 and above have restriction on not
accessing the local files directly?
thanks -
Obviously in Acrobat you can setup links to another PDF file. And I understand you can do that in Designer but as I can see, the only way is to do it via a URL/browser. Importing a PDF into Designer doesn't preserve the link. Looked in the documentation but I didn't find anything so far. Is this where one would use subforms? I just want a button to open another PDF file in Reader basically.
Thanks
JzachThe "Open File" action is limited in its ability to actually
kick off external applications. As a rule of thumb it is best used
to redirect the user to HTML documents - and of course, opening any
file can be problematic if the end-user's computer has no valid
"association" to the linked file-type in his/her machine's system
registry.
For instance, if an AVI file is targeted, it will be a
crap-shoot what application will be used to display it (if any). On
one machine, Windows Media Player might be opened to play the AVI,
and on another, perhaps a DiVX player or maybe even Flash (though
not likely). -

How can I create a link to a pdf file and show it in the same webpage or in a new tab
It is no problem to create a link. But the formats are limited and - unbelievable - the pdf format is not supported??!
Where are the parameter (_blank or _self) to show it for example in the same webpage or in a new tab??!PDF is media. It is not a web document. Your end users must have plug-ins and helper apps installed on their device to see PDFs in browsers. Depending on their settings, the PDF file may or may not launch in the browser window. On my system, PDF files download and launch inside Acrobat Professional; not my browser.
The safest approach is to provide a screenshot on your page with a direct link to the PDF file so people can handle it as they wish. See example: http://www.adobe.com/manufacturing/3dpdfsamples/3dsolutions/

How to use PDF files with links to other PDF Files
How to use a PDF file with links to other PDF files that have been transferred to the same folder
Are you using a mouse, or a trackpad on a laptop? Either way, your cursor is usually an arrow, right? And presumably it's working/moving MOST of the time, otherwise you wouldn't be able to do anything?
For example, can you move the cursor arrow to the "Annotate" tool to click on it and go into Annotate mode? If so, can you click on the text tool? If so, does the cursor change to a crosshairs? At what point can you NOT move the cursor around the screen?

Link to a pdf file that requires a login
I am trying to figure out a way to create a link to a pdf file that requires login/password, but masks it so that the user is not aware that they logged in using credentials.
Essentially, I am trying to provide links to Monroney labels, which are only available through a dealer login network. If I were to provide the link specifically to that pdf, it should not allow them to access to the dealer network but only that pdf. At least in theory that is where my head is.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!Sounds very complicated. I don't see how you can have it both ways. In other words, how can you give access to a password protected network without giving access to the network? You can't.
I think you would need to put the PDF on your own server and put that file inside a password protected folder -- assuming you want them to log-in to get it.

Searching for links across multiple pdf files
We have thousands of pdf files that are being moved to a new website. Some of these pdf files have links within them (either as text or as a hyperlink). This number is unknown.
The issue is how to programmatically search across multiple pdf files (numbering in the thousands) looking for links using a regular expression or part of a path. This will have to be able to search behind the text and search for the link url.
We first need to identify the number of files with links and create a list of the files with links that need modifying. If the number is too great to modify manually, then we would need the ability to programmatically edit these links.
The pdf files are stored in a database. Also, the pdf files are different versions and some are password protected.
Is there an Adobe product that will perform this? If not, are there any 3rd party vendor products that will accomplish this?
Thanks in advance for your help.I have no solution, but a thought: the database factor may seem to be
a killer. But you could look for a solution designed to read PDF files
from a web site (by spidering or from a list), which would presumably
load them.
Or could do a one off extraction of the files from the database into a
directory and use that for your process. Probably a very good idea,
since extracting all files from the database is likely to be costly
and hammer the server (but can be scheduled at a sensible pace), while
the search process will (if it is possible at all) doubtless need to
be run countless times.

Problem creating several image maps (linking to different pdf files) RoboHelp 8
Hi,
I have a problem creating several image map hotspots (that link to different .pdf files), from the same image using RoboHelp 8 HTML (WebHelp project).
After compiling, the first image map hotspot created, opens the .pdf file correctly. Unfortunately, when clicking on the other image hotspots, I get an error " Cannot find file...<file path>... Make sure path or Internet address is correct".
All the pdf documents are located in the same folder within the project.
Can anyone help?Have you added the target files as baggage?
