Linking a PDF or website page

We are trying to link a PDF document as a resource in our
project. Where can we store the PDF document to be pulled into the
course. We will most likely be putting our course on our intranet.
Also, I have inserted several of our intranet links in my
project. I can always click to the link during a preview. However,
when I e-mail the project to my peers for reviewing the links do
not work. It appears that they are previewing through the web, but
we are not sure.
Sorry for the confusion, but we are trainers, and not web
developers

Fluffy11,
Are you related to the Fluffy in Harry Potter? :) Never mind.
I am a trainer as well and that is why I like Captivate.
Put your PDF document in the same folder as the .swf file of
your published project on the server. You will also want to set the
click box you are using for the link to pause while the document is
open.
You have to opent he click box properties and click the down
arrow next to the field that has the document name. You will see at
the bottom of a menu the words continue playing project and it will
have a check mark. Take off the check mark. I also set it to New
Window so the document opens in a new window and does not replace
your project. That way, when the learner closes the document, the
project is there for them to continue.
You will also want to have some type of Next or Continue
button for the slide and let the learner proceed when they are
ready. I am not sure about the link issue. Where does your project
launch from and how are they viewing it?
If you want to discuss this, e-mail me at
[email protected] and I can go over it on the phone.

  • Link of PDF using bookmark, page

    Hi all,
    I would like to create links of PDF using bookmark, page, as below.
    http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/PDFOpenParameters.pdf#page=3
    I created the link (HTMLResources/doc.pdf#page=3), but it opens 1st page of PDF.
    Is it possible for using something like #page=3 or #nameddest=Chapter6?

    Hi Recardo,
    Thanks for response.
    Earlier we faced issue of 'NPE', while adding markups and it was show stopper for that we had to give this fix and now few markups are missing.
    With the reference to the SR, SR 3-10406750311 : During creating Annotation dimensions getting Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullP we were asked to implement Listeners.
    Please let us know if we can have any further fix to our current code.
    Current SR:
    SR 3-10549887951 : Annotation are printing randomly on 2nd page of PDF using Autovue 20.2.3 version
    We have uploaded Markups and log files that have requested by Michel.
    Thanks

  • Can't download or open PDFs via links on web pages? Clicking links to PDFs in web pages only results in blank "new" tabs opening in Firefox...WHY?

    Links to PDFs on webpages only opens a "new" tab which is blank. I cannot download or open PDFs. This started a couple of weeks ago.

    See this support article. <br />

  • Can't open same pdf to different page...

    I am creating a pdf document that contains hyperlinks to open other pdf files to specific pages by adding #page=pagenumber to the end of the url.  The problem arises when I've opened a pdf with one link, then click a link to the same pdf, but with a different page number specified.  Because that pdf is already open, it will not re-open and go to the second page.  It just sits there on the first page opened in that pdf and does nothing.
    I have found ond kludgey work around - adding additional forward slashes in one of the the urls will fool the system into thinking the urls are different and the same pdf can be opened to different pages one after the other, no problem.  I'm hoping someone has a more elegent solution.  Thanks for any advice you can give.

    I tried named destinations as you suggested, but didn't work.  Thanks for the suggestion, though.  I may have found a partial fix.  I'm creating my pdf in InDesign CS5 and, on a hunch, I tried setting two button actions: Go To Next View before Go To Url.  For some reason, when I export the document to a pdf, the links will now work as I wanted.  I'm not sure why this works since, from what I read, Go To Next View should only do something if you've gone to a previous view, giving it somewhere to return to.  I'll take it, though.
    To answer your first question, the reason I want to link one pdf to multiple pages in a second pdf is that we have many large pdfs containing our company's procedures - yes, they're so large that putting them all in one file is not practical.  So, when I need to refer readers to something in another pdf, I want to have them click a link or button and the second pdf will open in a new window to the page I specified.  One link on one page might take them to the Glossary clear at the back of the other pdf, and another link might take them to the Introduction at the start of the pdf.  I'm amazed from my searching that there isn't more about this issue online.  I have found a few people who experienced the same thing, but none of them have ever solved it.  It's not just limited to buttons in pdfs, either - creating links in an HTML document has the same problem of not being able to open the same document to two different pages successively using two links.

  • Dead links in PDF -- any further updates?

    I started an lovely ebook in Pages and tested it to see how it would look in PDF, but to my dismay I found that the hyperlinks were no longer live. After searching these forums, I see this topic was discussed last September, and that Apple simply didn't put the capability of making live links in PDF exports into Pages.
    Have there been an further updates on this issue? I would really hate to have to resort to using Acrobat. I've used it before and really, I'd much rather use something neat and clean such as Pages.
    The iLife suite has this same problem across the board. Lovely to look at, makes beautiful documents, but severely handicapped in what you can do with it. I wish the documentation had said something in the "how to export to PDF" about this omission before I went to all that work.

    You can indeed export a PDF file with hyperlinks and retain those active links in the PDF document.
    I'm not sure how this does or even can answer your question, and all of your subsequent updates aren't adding much understanding or clarity to the mix. Instead of reporting repeated failures, could you try listing out:
    a. what exactly you are trying to do, and
    b. how exactly you are trying to do that, and
    c. what you expect to see happen when you do it that way, and finally
    d. what you see instead, including the text of any error messages.

  • Question about linking to pdf and doc documents

    When I link to pdf or doc pages in my web page they always down load to the down load folder and then I have to go find them and then double click on them before they open. Is there anyway to get these type documents to open automatically when they are selected in my web page?
    thanks

    Word documents should always download and.  There is no Mac option to just "Open" those files.  With regards to the PDF format that is a little different.
    If you have a Mac with a Core Solo or if you are running Safari in 32-bit mode or Camino then then Acrobat should be set to open the files in a browser.  In the preferences for Acrobat make sure Fast Web View is selected and make sure you have Acrobat set to open up the PDFs.
    If you are have a Core 2 Duo/Core ix Mac then you are by default in 64-bit mode with Safari.  If this is the case unfortunately Adobe has not released a patch to make the PDF reader plugin work in 64-bit mode.  Adobe's "fix" is to run Safari in 32-bit mode which isn't a fix and Acrobat is long overdue for an update.  But that aside, Preview should open up the PDF documents.  If that is not opening up the PDF in the browser I would have to look into it a little more.  Probably a corrupted plugin but I would even know where to replace it off the top of my head.

  • How to put Flash video game onto inDesign PDF file and Website page or link?!

    I am making a video game using Adobe Flash 2.0. I need to be able to show what I have through a website (my portfolio) and/or insert it into an interactive Indesign PDF file. The game needs to be able to be played and be used and tested by whoever I send the pdf file to, or whoever is would be view my the site I post it on. I have attempted many different ways to put my game onto my website (cargocollective) and Indesign, but nothing is working! I need help.
    For example I need my game to be placed on the website page, and on the pdf document as an image. When it is clicked on I need it to start so people can play the game. I don't know how to do this and I would really love and need to know how! Thanks.

    Flash should be able to publish an html page which will provide the web page code needed for embedding the swf.  The page it publishes should be sufficient for planting on a server unless you plan to dress it up with other content as well.
    As far as incorporating Flash content into a PDF using InDesign goes, you are best to ask questions about using InDesign in the InDesign forum.  Here is a link to the Overview page whee you can pick which forum applies best to your situation:

  • Why do PDF-linked files on my website appear off center when opened?

    I have created a website (not yet published) in which I have linked some PDF files. When I view these files in preview mode, the file pages all appear off center, i.e. they are positioned to the right on the page with a wide, blank margin on the left. This only occurs when I view them in Mozilla Firefox, not in other browsers such as Internet Explorer and Google Chrome. What might be causing this and how can I rectify it?

    hmm are you using the builtin PDF viewer (PDF.js), refer to here to go back to the regular Adobe Acrobat PDF viewer.

  • TREX Search : static HTML pages in KM with links to other intranet websites

    Hi there,
    we have some static HTML pages stored in KM. Besides text, these pages contain links ot other intranet websites, pdf or word documents.
    I have defined an index, according to <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/73/66c090acf611d5993700508b6b8b11/frameset.htm">creating an index</a>
    Following parameters have been added :
    IndexInternalLinks = true
    indexContentOfExternalLink = true
    showWithoutDatasource = true
    Already had a look at <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/46/5d5040b48a6913e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm">Crawlers and Crawler Parameters</a>, tried by creating a new crawler profile and setting
    Maximum Depth = 3 (we want to search three levels deep)
    There is also <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/46/5d5040b48a6913e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm">Resource Filters</a>
    The html pages itself are included in the index, but the content of the external links is not included.
    Would this be possible? We don't want to define an <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/73/66c090acf611d5993700508b6b8b11/frameset.htm">HTTP System</a> in the system landscape, as we don't need to index the whole external website and some parts of it are obsolete - we only want following the links and included the external content in the index.
    Portal version is NW2004S SP10.
    Thanks & best regards,

  • How do i link to a pdf on website?

    have have 2 links to pdfs on my website
    www.catalistadmin.com/bio.html (not the home page)
    (the two links under References)
    Is this entered under the insert hyperlink command? How do they get uploaded to the server?

    You already have the links entered.  You would then just upload the PDF files using DW.  Your links are made to the files as they would site in your root folder so just make sure you upload them from the same location.

  • My submit button on my PDF form is greyed out (will not work) after posting link to PDF on my WordPress website. It works in Acrobat Reader just fine.

    This is where you can see the form as clicked through to from the WordPress website page:
    http://pinetreeplayers.com/ptp_new/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/submit-a-play.pdf
    The PDF file was created in Acrobat 11, with a submit button. The submit button is actioned to send the form via email. It works perfectly by itself if the form is opened in Acrobat Reader, but once I upload the PDF to my WordPress site the submit button is greyed out, and will not complete the action to send on-click.
    How can I fix this please - can anyone offer advice?

    Yes. They need to download Reader and then disable Google Chrome's internal PDF viewer and enable Adobe Reader.
    FireFox should also be configured to use Adobe Reader and not the internal PDF viewer.
    The internal viewers are created to process PDF documents by not including the features and code to process PDF forms.

  • Every single website, or link within a website page is being added to my location bar/address bar drop down menu. How can I stop this? This just started happening.

    Every single website url address, or url address within a website page is being added to my location bar/address bar drop down menu.
    I don't want everything added or saved in the location bar. Only urls that I used a lot used to be saved there but now every single url (and url within a url)I visit is being added to it.
    How can I stop this? This just started happening.
    I'm sure it's a simple browser setting but I've checked and nothing gives an option to control this.
    Firefox 3.0.17
    Windows XP
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.17) Gecko/2009122116 Firefox/3.0.17

    A possibility is to open the links via the right-click context menu or a middle-click in a new tab to make sure that Firefox sees them as regular links.

  • Why does the form link show up in 2 pages, but when I save the form as PDF it comes up as 3 pages?

    A few weeks ago, I asked the above question on why the form link shows up in 2 pages, but when the form is saved as PDF it comes up as 3 pages.
    The answer I received was that I can simply select the page break and hit "delete" button or click on the trash can icon at the top right corner.
    I tried to do this but, there is NO OPTION to select the page break and hit delete….
    I want to combine the page on my PDF because the header takes up one entire page.
    How can I do this? Can someone please help or walk me through this live?

    Wenlam,

  • Link to .pdf asset is jumping to top of page instead of opening .pdf

    I am going crazy trying to figure out why one of my pages won't open its links.  It appears in the lower left corner of the browser to be linked to the correct asset, and if you right click the link and select to open the link in a new page it opens the .pdf fine.  But when you left click on the link then it just jumps to the top of the page as if it were anchored to the top of the page or something.  I don't understand it.  I've tried erasing the link, erasing the asset and relinking but it I can't figure it out.
    Here is the site:
    http://www.generationsprimarycare.com/physical-forms.html#peforms
    On the right column, the top link is fine, the rest of the links that are linked to .pdfs in the right column don't work correctly
    Thanks a bunch to anyone who can help.
