Link to specific page in PDF w/ Flash

I need a solution for linking to a specific page or location
within a PDF from Flash. I have used the following code:
on (release){
getURL("myfile.pdf#page=4 ","_blank");
Is this even possible and can anyone suggest a solution on
how it might work?
Thanks,
John

  • Linking to specific page in pdf document

    I'm trying to link to a specific page within a pdf document
    using the following syntax:
    https://uhaul.net/publications/publication.ashx?FileName=MB197.pdf#page=3
    However, the pdf opens to the first page, instead of to page
    3 (which is what I want). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    You can only do this if the attachment is a PDF file. Here are the help instructions that explain how to create a link in the main PDF document that jumps to the PDF attachment.

  • Is Acrobat Pro right for us. We have an Employee Handbook that needs editing. Some is current pdf, some from an older version. Want to get all into one handbook, have the table of contents automatically adjust and link to specific pages from the ToC.

    You can download the trial version (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html) to convert the PDF back to WORD if you do not have the original. The conversion may not be perfect, but it is typically better than starting from scratch. You may be lucky and get a good result. You might check the settings (in the save screen) to try retain format versus retain text flow. The format version can be a pain to edit since it creates a bunch of text boxes. The flow version may require you to reformat in WORD, but you likely would want to do that anyway.

  • How to create a table of contents (TOC) linking to specific pages of different (multiple) PDFs

    Hi All,
    I would like to create clickable Table of Contents (TOC) that can lead to a sub clickable TOC that would lead to a specific page of different PDFs within a folder.
    Is that possible?
    Secondly, is is possible to create a search box that upon typing a specific word (not related to text within the PDFs), that word to be linked to a specific page of a particular PDF out of many within a folder?
    To make it more clear, I have a database of specifications of equipment and drawings of a building, all in multiple PDF files. I would like to be able to unify all those PDFs and if I type the room number of the building to be presented with a menu of choces pointing to services assosiated with that room, being elctrical power drawings, lighting drawings or drawings of Air Conditioning and Ducting associated with that room. So I type a room number, then I get a menu of Power, Lights, Fire Alarm, or Ducting all associated with that room, then if I click Fire Alarm to be directed straight to the drawing within a PDF related to that room.
    Thanks

    I would say: Try and Error. Create a copy of your document and unmark in the copied document in the document inspector all boxes for the TOC. Then mark them again. Maybe you should also delete the paragraph styles and mark them again. If that doesn't work, try to copy the complete text of your document to a new created one. Maybe that works.
    Good luck!
    P.S.: If that doesn't work look here. Maybe this helps.

  • 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.

  • How to add link to specific page in another PDF

    I'd like to create a link within a PDF to a specific page in a different PDF. As far as I can tell, the Create Link tool will only allow me to open another PDF on page 1. I know you can link to another page in the current PDF, but I need to link to a separate PDF. I have also found info on mechanisms for opening to different pages, but these are for opening using browsers or code.
    So, is it possible to link create a link in a PDF to a specific page in another PDF?
    Thanks for any suggestions.
    - John
    PS - I'm using Adobe 7.0 Professional.

    Try this...
    You can link to a specific page in a specific PDF from a bookmark. You navigate to the new view (page of a PDF) when creating the bookmark.
    When you want to do that with a link (as in selected text in the body of the PDF) you have to do it in two steps. Use any file open to create the link, then edit the properties of the link, select the Action tab, and change the action to Go To A Page View.
    That's how it works in Acrobat 8, but I'm betting it's the same in 7.

  • Linking to specific pages within several other pdfs

    My source pdf has ~700 references and I need to create a link to each reference (target pdfs).  There are hundreds of target pdfs and the source document references different pages within each of the target pdfs.  The target pdfs need to contain the entire document and not just the cited pages.  What I am doing is creating a link and selecting opening a file.  What I am not able to do, is assign a page number to this link so that a certain page will appear instead of page 1.  I understand that you can set the initial view with file properties, but that will not work as I would then have to create a pdf for each link and there are far too many references to do that.  Here is a sample "Reference at pp. 2, 4, 6." and in this sample I want a separate link for each reference that will go to page 2, page 4 and page 6 (again I need the entire document for reading purposes for these links and not these specific pages).

  • URL to Specific Page in PDF

    I have to create a web page that has links to various pages within a single PDF.
    Links to PDFs open the document at page 1 by default.
    I have read that if you create a hyperlink like this, you can link to a specific page: http://www.somewebsite.com/somePDFFile.pdf#page=38
    But...
    I have tried this, and the links are still opening the PDFs at page 1. I have tried this on two different browsers.
    Can it be done?

    Can it be done?
    Yes, like this:

  • Drag Specific Page of PDF

    Is there a way to drag a specific page of a PDF into InDesign? Currently I use the Place function to place what page of the PDF I want to put in InDesign but it would be much quicker if I could easily drag the page instead.
    Thanks!

    That's not possible. To place a specific page, you need to use File > Place, turn on Import Options, and select the page.

  • How to jump to a specific page of pdf document in preview?

    How can you jump to a specific page of a large PDF document without having to continuously scroll down on the thumbnail sidebar?
    Thanks.

    I assume you are using Preview. If the PDF was created with an indexed table of contents, then choose View > Table of Contents. This will display the ToC in the sidebar, and you can click whatever section or page you want to go to. (There is also a button in the Toolbar to display or hide the sidebar.) If the document does not have a table of contents, or if you just want to go to a known page number, then Go > Go to Page….

  • Direct link to specific page in page flip swf?

    This may have an easy answer, but is there a way to link directly to a specific page in a page-flip swf via direct link from another site/web page/etc.?
    If my page flip swf is on myzines.com/2010-08-01.html ...
    Is there a way to link from any other web page to the page noted above and directly to page 12 of the swf?
    Something like myzines.com/2010-08-01.html#page12 or myzines.com/2010-08-01.html?page=12 perhaps?
    Seems like it should be possible, but I'm not seeing it and haven't seen anything in the forums. Any leads would be appreciated.

  • Link to specific page using pageID

    Using the pageID of a specific page, how can I create a link to the page? I have code which retrieves and stores the current pageID. In a portlet, I am retrieving the pageID and want to create a link back to the page. How can I do this? Thanks!

    Are you using Reader on the mobile devices? At any rate, it's quite likely that this feature doesn't work on mobile devices (like many other ones), and there's probably not much that can be done about it...
