Link to Specific Location in a Newly Opened file

I set up a link that opens another file. Is there a way to go to a specific location (i.e. bookmark) in the file automatically "on Open"?
Thanks for the help!!!

How do we open the file that contains the location we want the link to go
to? Sorry, but we are not that experienced with Acrobat!! Our users want
to be able to be in a pdf file and go to a specific location in another
file by just clicking one button.
Thanks for the help!!

If the newly opened file is a PDF, you should use a "Go to page view" type
link, not an "Open file" action.

Photoshop unexpectedly cycling through newly-opened files

This is a weird one, and I can't get a foothold on what's causing it. I routinely have to open a batch of five graphics (it's not the same five graphics each time, but each project starts from the same five templates). Lately, when I open them all at the same time, a few seconds after I open them, Photoshop suddenly cycles through them in what seems to be a random order (though it never ends on the file I was looking at when it starts cycling). This is playing havoc with my workflow, as I have actions that rely on the files being opened in a particular order. Not to mention the fact that it often happens just as I'm starting to edit the files. All of a sudden, I'm looking at a different image in the set.
It doesn't seem to be making any changes when it cycles, as there aren't any files that need saving after it's done. I just can't figure out what it's doing, or why.
I'm using Photoshop CC 2014.2.1, on a Macbook Pro, running OS X Yosemite (10.10.1). Happy to provide any additional details!

Have you tried a Preference reset? It has been known to clear up a lot of things in Photoshop when they go haywire. Press Cmd+Opt+Shift immediately after initiating Photoshop startup. Select "yes" when prompted.

How do I link to Anchor Text from browser to PDF file exported from InDesign?

I see that this question was asked previously but not answered:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3737541
I need a way to link to topics (from an HTML page) within a structured PDF file generated from InDesign, i.e. one that has an interactive bookmarks
panel, that doesn't break the links when the file is updated.
In particular, I don't want to refer to:
* page numbers because the document will repaginate when it is updated, breaking existing links
* named destinations that are numeric as addition/deletion of topics renumbers the named destinations, breaking the links.
Is there any option in InDesign that creates named destinations derived from bookmark titles as that would seem to solve my problem?
I have a similar need, but I have not been able to find an answer anywhere online, even after a several hours of research.
I am on contract with General Electric to develop a UI Style Guide for an international team of developers. My client wants to be able to distribute the Style Guide as a PDF document, but needs to provide links to specific topics when submitting a "Story" in an Agile development environment to the programmers.
Ideally, I would like to be able to create "named destinations" in InDesign such that I can provide the client with a list of URLs similar to this format:
file:\\StyleGuide\Test1-20131024a.pdf\#nameddest=AnchorText-01
However, I can not figure out how to create "named destinations" in the PDF file from the InDesign file in which I have created the Anchor Text in the Hyperlinks tab.
Alternately, the client would be satisfied with the ability to link to specific bookmarks in the exported PDF file that have been derived from the configuration of the Table of Contents styles, but my research has led me to believe that it is not possible to hyperlink from a browser window to a bookmark in a PDF file (only to specific page numbers, search word lists, named destinations, and comments) as described here: http://blogs.adobe.com/tcs/2011/01/tcs-specific/linking-to-a-page-within-a-pdf-and-more.ht ml
Having been using InDesign since 1988, when it was PageMaker, I would prefer to use it to provide GE with the most attractive deliverable, but they are now leaning heavily toward having me licensed with Madcap Flare, which has this capability built in:

Please help me to find a solution that will allow me to continue using InDesign for this project.

Follow-up post (solution is not available):
I have just completed a phone call with Gaurev Sethi of Adobe escalated technical support in which I shared my screen to explain and demonstrate the desire to link from an external URL to a specific location within a PDF file that has been exported from InDesign. After 40 minutes, during which I was placed on hold a few times while he consulted with his team, it was determined that the desired functionality is not supported in InDesign and has been identified as a limitation of the software.
In researching alternate documentation software that supports PDF export, I discovered that Madcap Software supports this functionality in its Flare product:
http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare9/Default.htm#Nav_Links/Named_Destinations/Creating _Named_Destinations.htm
Note that linking via URL to a bookmarked location within a PDF is not supported:

More about parameters that can be specified to open PDF files are available here:

Although the above link is for a previous version of Acrobat, I could find no evidence to the contrary in the current SDK documentation.

When opening more image files in CC they are floating at the back, behind current open files

When I'm working on an image or images (not docked) in PS CC on iMac OSX 10.9 Maverick, if I open a new file it does Not open at the front. The newly opened file will open hidden/behind the currently open files yet if I got to the window drop down menu at the bottom it clearly shows the newly opened file is selected and thats the file I'm working on, even though its behind all the previously opened images and I can't see it fully . Hard to explain but has anyone else found this issue? Its strange and awkward when working at full speed.
Any idea whats going on?

So in this screenshot I have 2 bed images open, then I open the office-2 image but it doesn't open on top of the bed images but behind, yet you can see from the layers & nav bar that its the office-2 image were working on.
This issue can cause problems when working fast with lots of images. previously I've accidentally closed files that weren't finished destroying history snapshots etc.
Any idea whats going on?

CS4 opens files on wrong display

I use a dual monitor setup. Prior to CS4, Photoshop would remember my preference of the display to use for newly opened files. Now it always displays files at open on my primary display and I have to find a part of the image peeking behind the palettes (er panels) and move it to my second, image-only display. This is driving me nuts. Also, sometimes when I drag the image to the second display, everything disappears and I have to select it from the Window menu. The latter looks like a bug.

I figured out a workaround. You have to enable Application Frame then drag the Application Bar to the second display and maximize it. New images will now appear here. There's no way to turn off the Application Bar (that I can see) but switching into Full Screen Mode at least allows me to display the image without screen furniture. A bit of mucking around for what used to be quite simple. Anyway, the preceding may help others with the same requirements.

PLEASE HELP! Unable to render any Quicktime format - after effects error unable to open file (-1610153459)

I just can't render any type of Quicktime file in AE CC 2014. I'm on Windows 8.1.
Even in CS6 was it not possible, but I never really used any Quicktime filetypes.
Normally I just rendered to .h264, but now that's only available via the insane slow Adobe Media Encoder, I want to use the Quicktime -> h.264 option, but it's just not possible.
I also want to render some footage to the Avid DNxHD codec, but this is also not possible.
Doesn't matter what type of footage, dslr footage, pictures, AE solids. Everytime I want to render in a Quicktime file I get this error:
AE error: Rendering error while writing to file (File-Location). Unable to open file. (-1610153459)
Installed the latest Windows version of Quicktime, didn't help...
I saw some topics about this, but they didn't provide a good solution. All they discussed was the hardware of the computer. I have enough space available and render to a NTFS drive.
Please can someone help me with this!

Yes! I just solved my own problem. I still think that the internet doesn't provide an easy to find answer, so I will post this.
I had the latest version of Quicktime, but this version causes the problem. After some searching I finally found a page on the Apple website that confirms this.
Updating to QuickTime 7.4 may cause issues while rendering footage in Adobe After Effects - Apple Support
So I uninstalled my latest version of Quicktime and installed version 7.4.1. Everything works now the way it's supposed to!

Open PDF in a specific location

I want to open a PDF file from a chm file generated in RoboHELP in a specific location.

Timothy,
Plz read the thread on named destinations,
Gloria Mc, "Linking to within a PDF using named destinations" #1, 24 Aug 2007 1:08 pm. This thread contains info on how to create named destinations in your PDF file, and then link to them with a hyperlink (or from a command line). Also various issues w/named destinations are discussed.
You don't say what version of software you have; that would be helpful, as named destinations work in some versions and not others. Also operating system that this will be expected to work on would be good to know.
In addition to the forum thread, read one of the documents "Parameters for Opening PDF Files." The one for 8.1 is located at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_open_parameters.pdf.
If you have the correct version of Acrobat, the PDF is on a Web server, and the issues in the forum thread are addressed, you should be able to include a hyperlink to the PDF in your .chm file (which resides on someone's computer, not the Web server).

Linking to a specific location in a web page is not working

Hello,
I am using anchor tags for linking to a specific location in a web page . This Page contains some images(.bmp).
Eg:
<h2><a name="exactline">Linking Directly to a Specific Location</a></h2>
<a href="http://www.example.com/some-page-or-other.aspx#exactline">Click here</a>
Whenever I click on the link it moves to specific location but when the page get loaded completely , top of the page is being displayed.
My question is how can I make this link redirects directly to the particular section and stays there even after the page loads fully.
Thanks

Hi ,
When you click your link "Click here", the SharePoint web page with anchor will not work until refresh the page, if it's the case, you can add the javascript code to refresh the page automatically as workaround per the following similar post.

How do you link to a specific location in another page?

I'm working in Dreamweaver CS4. I'm trying to create a link to go to a specific location on another page in my website. Any advice?

All the information I have seen about Named Anchors deals with information that is contained on the same page. I am looking to go to a specific location on a different page. Is this possible using Named Anchors? If so, how?
Sure it is.
Place a named anchor on your destination page near the bottom of your page for this test. And name your anchor 1.
On the parent page, your link will look like this:
<a href="some_page.html#1">this is a link to named anchor 1</a>
Save both pages and test in browser.

Unable to open newly created files using a specific font.

Hello everyone!
All of a sudden, I am not able to open newly created files in Acrobat Pro 9.0 that use a specific font. It seems to be localized to files that are created in Microsoft Words, as I tried to create a document in Pages and was able to open that PDF (using the same font) in Acrobat. I'm not sure what to do at this point...Any ideas?

Place of newly opened tabs is not logical (not put to the end of row)

When I have more tabs opened (for example 5) and I click a link with the middle mouse-button NOT on the last tab (for example on the 2nd one) Firefox does not put the newly opened tab to the end of the row, it is inserted right after the clicked page (newly opened tab is inserted between 2 existing tabs). Previous Firefox versions did always put the newly opened tabs to the end. How could it be set in case of 3.6.10?

A couple of options. You can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/61766/ New Tabs at the End] add-on. A second option is to change a hidden preference.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# In the filter box type '''Related'''
# Double-click on the preference '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent''' to change its value to '''false'''

i can no longer log into my ichat linked to my gmail. right after opening up ichat, receive the following message: lost connection with jabber. the server has unexpectedly disconnected. how to troubleshoot? thanks.

Hi,
There can be many reasons why the Login is "up the creek".
Any break in the network at your end whilst logged in will cause an issue.
A sort of discrepancy between what iChat thinks the state should be and what the server thinks.
If they don't agree the server will refuse to accept.
A Crash at the server end which does not log you out properly will also do it.
Any file at any time can be come corrupted.
Luckily with the iChat .plists they are recreated if removed with an iChat Restart.
If it were AIM you can also get your Account Suspended and this will not log you in.
(It tends to happen from Chat rooms where people notify AIM about bad behaviour (as they see it) and you have to apply to get Un-suspended).
Most of the big IM services use multiple servers.
Sometimes these go out of Sync.
In the case of AIM this happens when they remove Old unused Screen Names from people's Buddy List prior to making them available for re-registration. I am not sure if this happens at Google.
You seem to be talking about an account that has worked at Work and having new computer at home.
As I mentioned the Priority thing you have not said that it has coincided with the new computer logging in (this will kick the work Computer out of Google whether you are logged in on the Web Mail page or in iChat)
IN addition to that iChat stays partially logged in for Off Line IMs
This is done in the background by a support app called iChatAgent
If your Computer is ON but ichat is not started people can still send you Messages.
Instead of saving these on the server until you login iChat will start up.
Depending if the home Mac is effecting the Work Login it may be holding sway over your Login.
Using your girlfriend's login may have booted her Off Line where she normally uses the name/login.
The AIM Side can be specifically set to allow Multiple Logins and therefore NOT allow them. If this happens you get a warning and messages to do something about it.
You do not get these in any Jabber or Google Login as the Priority setting is supposed to take care of it.
If the Login works at the Web Mail Login and on one computer then the .plist on the work computer is the most likely issue.
There is a small chance that a Corrupt Buddy Pic (Home Folder/Library/Caches/com.apple.iChat/Pictures) may be the cause.
Set this folder to icon view and also use the Finder's View Menu > Show View Options and select icon view.
This should show all pics as their icon.
Check that all display properly.
At this point I would try a COMBO version update install of the last Update you did over what you have.
This often corrects hard to trace things

Having trouble with links to specific destinations in pdfs

I'm trying to create links from a web page to specific locations (destinations) in a pdf. I make the destinations in Acrobat, then I create the links in the web page (for example, userguide.pdf#intro), and they work perfectly in IE and Opera but not in Firefox. When I try these links in Firefox, it links to the pdf, but to the wrong place (usually the top of the pdf, but sometimes other places too). This has happened on two different computers, too.
Someone has recently suggested that it may not be a Firefox problem after all, but a Reader problem--specifically, a problem with the Reader plug-in we have on Firefox. Does anyone have any insight on this?

Hi,
That usually means that either the Domain name or the Folder is incorrectly specified. Please see https://helpx.adobe.com/muse/using/uploading-site-third-party-hosting.html for an explanation of these fields.
What values are you entering in these fields? Did Upload to FTP host work for you in previous versions of Muse? Are you using the same settings as before?

InDesign Link to specific page in a .pdf file

I have an article index that I keep in InDesign. Each item in the index points to a specific page in a separate .pdf file. Is there a way, in InDesign, to create a link that will open the .pdf file to a specific page? The InDesign file contains buttons and is exported to an interactive .pdf file. For example, I may have an article from volume one, page two. In the interactive index, I would like the user to be able to click on this link and open newsletter volume one and jump to page two. I have never found a way to do this in InDesign and currently have to create the text portion of the index in InDesign, export it to an interactive .pdf file and then create all of the links directly in Acrobat Professional. This is very time consuming because whenever I need to update the index, I need to re-export to a new interactive .pdf file and recreate ALL of the links in Acrobat. There should be a way to do this in InDesign.

There SHOULD be a way, yes. But there is none. It's not about Indesign, it's the PDF and handling of action like "Open file".
I tried button actions like "Open file" in Indesign, but you only select the file name and path, nothing else.
If you do the same in Acrobat, by putting an action "Open file" for a hyperlink, it will be the same.
The only thing that works is to use an URL like http://www.yourdomain.com/yourfile.pdf#page=3, where #page=3 can do what you want. You could even place that URL in Indesign or Acrobat, but the PDF would a) open in a browser and b) the PDF reader will always pop up that requester before opening internet links and c) the file would have to be on the internet.
Perhaps Acrobat Javascript could do more here, but then you'd have to embed it somehow in Acrobat (I wouldn't know if Indesign can do that) and Javascript would have to be allowed for that PDF. Not a good choice.

Turn a text database search result into a clickable .pdf link to specific images

Hello and Good Afternoon all.
This is baffling me to no end, pretty desperate at this point.
I have a successfully implemented a search and results page from my database table 'products'. The results page displays a field from this table as products, msds, datasheet, description. I would like the msds & datasheet results to be clickable links to files in my images/pdf/msds folder or the images/pdf/datasheet folder.
The links are specific filenames such as msds-product.pdf or datasheet-product.pdf.. How can I get these links to open the exact filename that comes up in my search result? I can make it open the entire folder but I want just the specific file.
I don't write code very well - thank you for any help you can provide. Cindy

Hi Murray - Here is the exact code in DW on the results page with file names exposed in live view. I am concerned about not properly implementing this statement - where exactly should I insert?
