Link to PDF in FormsCentral (desktop app)

How do I create a link to a PDF on a website? Am on Acrobat Pro XI?
Steps performed:
1. Highlighted text to convert to link (and link to PDF document on website)
2. Clicked Design tab and then clicked Insert/Edit link from top menu
3. On the Insert Link form, in URL or Email field, entered absolute URL to PDF document
4. Clicked Insert
and am receiving message "Invalid URL"
How do I create this link?

Nevermind. Found how to add this link. Somehow was able to add a link by pasting the absolute link URL in both the "Link Text" and "URL or Email" fields.

  • Will we still be able to use the Adobe FormsCentral desktop app after FormsCentral retires?

    Is it just the online service that is expiring?
    Will I be able to create fillable PDF's using the desktop app (not online) to create fillable PDF's?
    Thanks!

    Hi LeanneW,
    Please see this section from the End of support | Adobe FormsCentral document:
    You may continue to use the Adobe FormsCentral desktop app for creating PDF forms until you update or upgrade your Acrobat software. But the app will not connect to any online component or offer the ability to collect data or publish web forms. Furthermore, we will not be supporting the application once Adobe FormsCentral is retired in July, and so cannot ensure functionality moving forward.
    If you have additional questions, please let us know.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Collect Reponses Online tab in the Adobe FormsCentral desktop app

    Where is the "Collect Reponses Online tab in the Adobe FormsCentral desktop app" ?

    Are you using the app bundled with Acrobat XI? or the one downloaded from the FormsCentral website? Only the former one has that tab.

  • Want to use FormsCentral Desktop App without having to log into Adobe ID?

    I am trying to reset my FormsCentral so that it only using the Desktop App and not prompting to login to Adobe ID.  Can you please help me?
    Thanks,

    Joyce Miller is looking for the desktop icon for the Adobe FormsCentral desktop app. My machine was replace and now I can't find where to download that app either. There is reference to it, but no instructions where to down load the app. In January it was here: https://www.acrobat.com/formscentral/en/desktop-download.html
    But now it's gone.

  • Form in FormsCentral desktop app in Acrobat XI Pro  to Muse web-page

    If I make a form in FormsCentral desktop app in Acrobat XI Pro can I then export/import/move it to Muse web-page? Is there any tutorial about this?

    FormsCentral won't help with flattening a form. You could set up the form in Acrobat so that the fields are set to read-only, using JavaScript. Not quite the same as flattening but it's the best Reader can do.
    Note that when Reader is used to e-sign a document, it gets flattened, but this won't be possible if you need to Reader-enable the form and under certain other conditions.

  • Why is it so hard to find the download link for the Creative Cloud desktop app?

    So - I have a subscription and I needed to move the location where the files were on my computer. The easiest path is to uninstall and reinstall. So I used the Adobe uninstaller tool (which, even though I told it to uninstall everything, does not uninstall everything). Then I rebooted. All Adobe CS creative cloud desktop apps are gone. I log into my Adobe account online, and the only thing I can find are downloads for downloading "trials" of the adobe apps - this is whilst being logged in. And to download the trial it starts to ask me questions about how I will use it etc. so I didn't bother.
    When I go to the page that has what ostensibly looks like it will lead to the Adobe creative suite downloader/desktop tool, it takes me to the list of ALL adobe desktop app "trials".
    I finally found it by hunting around in the help screens and Google for five minutes, but it's still obnoxious that there is no link to directly download the Creative Cloud desktop app here, which is where it sends you:
    http://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/catalog/desktop.html
    Instead all you see are a bunch of "Trial versions", even though these are included with the adobe creative cloud subscription.
    So I don't really have a question, more of a rant at the stupidity of the way this is set up. When I'm logged in, I should be able to access the downloads, or at least the tool that lets me download the downloads, without spending time hunting around for it. It's ridiculous that it's not set up that way currently.

    Same with me here is the link I found and used
    https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/creative-cloud?version=2.0

  • Links inside PDF open with Reader app, but not IE plugin. Why? Help!

    I am including some PDFs on a dvd. I link to them from a webpage also on the dvd. Some of these pdfs have links to other pdfs on the disc. While testing, one machine opens the main pdfs in the Adobe Reader application and their links work fine. On another, the main pdfs open with the Reader plugin for IE and none of their links work. What would be causing this?

    I'm still testing, but I'll try and create some sample pdfs. I'm not sure how the ones I'm having difficulty with were created. I suspect Word and then converted using Distiller, but not sure. Thanks for your offer.
    So far I've tested a number of machines with inconsistent results. Works on an XP machine running IE7 and Reader 8. Doesn't work on an XP machine running IE8 and Reader 9.4. Works on a Windows 7 machine running IE8 and Reader 9.4. This is getting confusing.

  • Desktop App cannot connect

    I recently upgraded to Acrobat Pro 11 and I have been attempting to use the FormsCentral desktop app; however I get a "A connection with the FormsCentral Server could not be established." My office does utilize a proxy server. How would you setup FormsCentral with respect to a proxy server?

    Yes, I can sign-in to https://formscentral.acrobat.com/SignIn.html from my office. I actually have been demoing the free account for people at my office and the web app works great. I downloaded the upgrade yesterday to my desktop and the build number is 1.0:697665-A. I was a bit suprised to see I have an update for Acrobat Pro 11 already, but I have not updated anything since installing the product. This is weird because Acrobat functions like saving files to the cloud works great; however Acrobat is using the standard proxy settings that I have on my machine. I had my IT look at it with Fiddler and they can't seem to locate what is blocked and it appears that FormsCentral is trying to go on an outside port.

  • AAM not updating itself to Creative Cloud Desktop app

    I had the Creative Cloud desktop/toolbar app running briefly yesterday but was frustrated by having the CS6 and CC versions of various apps running side by side, so decided to uninstall everything and do a clean install.  I ran the various uninstall programs and the cleaner utility, then re-installed AAM, AI and PS as a starting point.
    AAM has not updated itself to the Creative Cloud desktop app, and if I go to the Download link for the Creative Cloud desktop app and click on Download, it just switches to the AAM app, and does nothing.
    If I look in the updates section of AAM, there are no updates for AAM itself and Creative Cloud Desktop is not an installable program in AAM either.
    Can anyone help me in either triggering AAM to update/install Creative Cloud Desktop, or provide some manual installation steps?
    Many thanks,
    Nick

    We may want to see what Nick's OS is before we go into to many details.
    Here is a quick tip though for Windows 8 and 7 64-bit users which might resolve your difficulties.
    Go to  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe and rename the OOBE folder to OOBE_old
    Close and relaunch your browser
    Sign in with your Adobe ID and password to https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud
    Download the Creative Cloud app.

  • Can't sign in to Desktop App

    I can't ever get to a sign in window when pressing the sign in button on the FormsCentral desktop app.
    I have no problem signing in to the browser/online version but the desktop app constantly has a timer when pressing either of the sign in buttons.
    I have tried uninstalling Acrobat XI and reinstalling (which removes FormsCentral App as well) but the problem persists.
    Anyone have any suggestions?

    FormsCentral is still spinning when selecting check for updates - have screen grabbed version as per below:
    No updates were showing in the CC application manager for Acrobat - have just launched it to get the version number and clicked check for updates and there are some for it! peculiar that it doesnt show in the app updates section - will add to post if this fixes it.
    Unfortunately updating Acrobat hasn't fixed sign in or update of FormsCentral.  Current Acrobat version can be seen below:

  • Can we login to web app from the desktop app?

    I have a link in a wing based desktop app. That link is related to ticket of some bug tracking tool.
    Is that possible to navigate to that page in a browser (with login) by clicking the link in desktop app?
    Thanks in advance,
    Bachchu

    http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/Desktop.html#browse%28java.net.URI%29 will open the System browser on the page designated by the specified URI argument.
    If your bug-tracking webapp enables to browse directly to the given page, you probably just have to put the right URI (maybe with app-specific additional arguments to support direct login).
    In most cases, the webapp will detect you're not logged, and first insert a login page then redirect you to the target page after login in.

  • Link to help file in Java desktop app

    Hi,
    Is it possible to link to a file, ie. UserGuide.pdf from a menuitem in a desktop app?
    The file is originally in the application root, but after downloading with Java Web Start the link no longer work.
    Thanks
    Dave

    Resources for JWS apps. should be in Jars, whereas I am guessing the PDF is a loose file.
    If the PDF is converted to something more Java friendly such as HTML, RTF or text, it can be included in a Jar and displayed using JavaHelp or a JEditorPane.
    To use a PDF and have it open in the system default software for displaying PDF files, it would be necessary to:
    1) Include the PDF in a Jar and add the Jar to the resources section of the JNLP.
    2) Get a reference to the PDF using
    this.getClass().getResource("the.pdf");3) Gain an InputStream from that URL.
    4) Read the bytes of the PDF and save them to a known place (such as a sub-directory of user.home).
    5) Call
    Desktop.open("${user.home}/path/to/the.pdf");

  • Download error in (osx) adobe desktop app (corrupted download link).

    Here is a discription of the problem. Please consider that some of the wording might not be correct, as I do have to translate the error message from German into English.
    Using OSX 10.9.2, when clicking inside the adobe desktop app (top of the screen bar) on the tap "apps", the following screen (screenshot) appears, which states, translated from top to bottom:
    download error
    download error. Please contact support.
    (link) contact support
    (link/button) download creative cloud -> This button unfortunatly leads to the following error page "http://www.adobe.com/special/errorpages/404.html"
    All apps, like Bridge, Photoshop, Lightroom, etc. are installed and work just fine. So no problem here. I seem however unable to redownload the desktop app (in order to reinstall). As stated above the provided link inside the desktop app itself is coruppted and within the (online) web-based download centre (user logged in) I am only adviced to use the desktop app. This is a dead end and I do not know what to make of this error, let alone solving it. Please help!

    I am sorry Romsinha but this doesn't really help.
    I already restarted the desktop app and while I am obviously online and connected the problem (error message) remains the same. Information within the "home" tap is recieved/loaded  (little blue spinning wheel) stating that various apps recently have been updated. Yet the same loading wheel within the "apps" tap results in an error. My best guess is that some internal link within the app is corrupted, leading to a source on a server that can not be reached.
    UPDATE
    I clean uninstalled adobe creative cloud as discribed in the article you provided (using the cleaner tool) and even uninstalled the browser plugin. After downloading and reinstalling creative cloud the problem however remains the same. "Apps" tap still shows the same problem. "Home" tap now displays the following:

  • Desktop app doesn't load the app links.

    Hi,
    When i start up the desktop app, the little blue "loading wheel" keeps on spinning forever. The text, file and Behance buttons sometimes work, but it all takes very long time and slows down my whole system. I work with 10.8.4, have 8 Gb ram and the 2.66 Intel Core i7 Processor. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Yes! I managed to fix it. I deleted all AAM en ACC files (don't forget the library cached user log in files. Find how here: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/unknown-server-error-launching-cc.html)
    Then i downloaded the AAM again (http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4774) and the ACC app. Installed both et voila. Everything works.
