Linking an Attachment

I am using Adobe Acrobat X to create a board book. I have learned that if I add a link to the document, the adobe reader on the ios will not be able to open the file because it is not hooked up to our network to retrieve it from the specific location. So I got the idea that I could just attach the document to the pdf file and then link that attached file so it would open. I have tried many ways to link the attached file, but I cannot find a way to make it succeed. Is this possible and if so, how can I do it?

Not possible.
Adobe Reader for iOS is relatively new, and not as capable as PDF readers on Mac or Windows.

Dear Apple support team,
I've already changed email for my apple id more than 6 months. But 2-3 months ago until now I've recieved and email to ask my apple id confirmation from me about 6-8 emails. I never confirm anything because I don't know,the link's attached, it's legal or illegal.

In my opinion, i think "http://" should be "https://" right? Or Apple should show the link on your website that we can find, re- check and click by ourselve. Or Apple should do "How to confirm apple id" on your main page. ( in fact i'm not sure you already done "How to" on your website yes or not, because I cannot find it)
The apple id is sensitive security, it's concerned personal security and any credit card payment so please understand me that's why i must to interrupt your team to help me to solve this problem. I'm scared my account will be blocked. Please advice me.

Include a link to attached files: is it possible?

Hi all,
I have a problem I hope you can help me with.
When using Acrobat,Pro you can add attachments to a PDF file and include a link in the PDF file to this attachment. As a result, if you click on the link, the attachment will open in a new window.
Now, I have created a form in LiveCycle Designer, and on the bottom of the form I would like to include a link to an attached file. However, it seems that I cannot edit the newly created form in Acrobat Pro. Hence, I am not able to include a link to the attached file using the method described above.
I cannot find an option to attach files in LiveCycle Designer, nor a way to link to an attachment. Am I overlooking something, or is it just not possible to include a link to an attachment in a form created in LiveCycle Designer?
Many thanks in advance for your reply!

Hi,
I guess it is too late now, but you can do this in a LiveCycle Designer form. Just the same as an Acrobat form, except you refer to the Doc object as event.target. So to attach a file use this JavaScript;
if (event.target.importDataObject("MyAttachedFile"))
var attachmentObject = event.target.getDataObject("MyAttachedFile");
console.println("Attachment path="+attachmentObject.path);
And, this will open it.
event.target.exportDataObject({ cName: "MyAttachedFile", nLaunch: 2 });

I cannot go to the previous screen after using a link or attachment

after using a link or attachment, i have only two options under "file": "new tab," which takes me to my desktop/screen saver, or "new window," which takes me to my home page (iGoogle). This forces me to basically start over, a real time-waster.

Thank you very much for getting back with me about the issue I'm having with my cell.
I uninstalled then reinstalled Chrome and pages still went blank. Same as before, so that didn't make a difference. Then I installed a different browser-Firefox. Same issue-site disappears and goes black, returns to main screen on my cell. This makes me think it's the phone. I just bought it too. Only thing is...I bought it at my local Walmart and not to sound unkind but the folks in the electronics dept. aren't very knowledgeable or helpful. If they replace my phone I hope they do their best to make sure my cell works before I leave Walmart.
What is your professional opinion/diagnosis? I appreciate your help.

Create Link to attached PDF file

Hi guys
I am having a nightmare!
I have been provided with a Word document which contains links to embedded PDF documents. It all works lovely, you click on the link in the word document and up pings the embedded PDF in a new window.
My issue is that I now have to turn the Word document into a PDF to put on our website.
I have tried numerous ways of PDFing the Word document but none have been successful in maintaining the embedded PDFs within it. When I open the PDFd Word Doc it can see that there is links, but when you click, nothing happens.
I have accepted there probably isnt a way to do this, so I came up with an alternative plan of saving all of the embedded PDF links to my hard drive, PDFing the original word document, attaching the embedded PDFs to the main parent PDF and linking to them.
HOWEVER! I cannot figure out how to link from the main PDF to the attached PDFs. I can create a link but there doesnt seem to be a way to set it to open the attached PDFs (which ideally should open in a new window ..) ARRGHH!
Help!
Thanks

Sounds like you on a Mac. And Adobe has let this bug go on for 15 years with no intentions of fixing.
Take the word File and if You have Apple's Pages (part of the iWork package) and Open there (will be imported)
Verify That your formatting has not been changed. (Making sure all links work.)
If not changed, create the PDF from there.
Go to Print Menu
Click on PDF and Hold
When window pops up choose Adobe PDF
Follow directions as the Pop up.
All your Links should be live. IF they were live in the Pages file.
It seems after 15-20 years Adobe programmers haven't learned various codes Word uses to make links, and. Even 2011 which used parts of Office 2007 and 2010 to create it. the only difference were UI (User Interface) and key mappings for short cuts.

Can a Link be attached to a select list option?

Here is some code for a select list that pulls its data from a database:
<select name = "sid" height = "1"class="dropit" >
<?PHP while ($row = $result ->fetch_assoc()) {   ;
    echo '<option value='. ($row['id']);
    if (!(strcmp($row['id'], $row['id']))) {echo "selected=\"selected\" ";}
     ?>><?php echo $row['type']?>
<?PHP } ?>
</select>
This works fine with a form. It is fast, and you can jump to an option just by typing its first letter.
I would like to code it so that the options have a link to another page attached to them without the need for a form.
It would show the selected item, and next to it would be a link attached to the word "Update"
The link would be similar to this: <a href="update.php?id=<?php echo $row['id']; ?>">Update</a>
It is quite easy to do in a table, with the <a ref in one td and the name field in another like so:
<table>
<?php while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) { ?>
<tr>
    <td><?php echo $row['id']; ?></td>
    <td><?php echo $row['type']; ?></td>
    <td><a href="update.php?id=<?php echo $row['id']; ?>">EDIT</a></td>
   </tr>
<?php } ?>
</table>
but it does not allow key navigation, and as I have a growing list of over 6000 items,it is becoming painfully slow to use.
Is it possible to include a URL within the option,
Or allow the option to be selected with the URL alongside it within the select list?
Its part of a management system that I am updating.
For searches on the live web I am able to filter the results in a better way, using a word search system..
All help appreciated.

Thanks Bregent. I never studied Jump Menus before today.
A jump menu works to a degree, but unless I have made a coding error, it is not possible to jump to an item in the list by hitting a letter key while the list is active.
Here is my code using a database table with an id and a single field:
<script type="text/javascript">
function MM_jumpMenuGo(objId,targ,restore){ //v9.0
var selObj = null; with (document) {
if (getElementById) selObj = getElementById(objId);
if (selObj) eval(targ+".location='"+selObj.options[selObj.selectedIndex].value+"'");
if (restore) selObj.selectedIndex=0; }
</script>
<form name="form" id="form">
<select name="jumpMenu" id="jumpMenu">
             <?PHP while ($row = $result ->fetch_assoc()) { ;?>
              <option value=<?PHP echo"update2.php?id=".$row['id'] ?> ><?PHP echo $row["id"]." - ";?><?PHP echo $row["field_value"];?></option>
           <?PHP }   ?>
</select>
<input type="button" name="go_button" id= "go_button" value="Go" onClick="MM_jumpMenuGo('jumpMenu','parent',1)">
   </form>
Unless every option has a different link, I can see little use for it.
Seems little different to a standard form with a drop down menu and a GO button, and that does not need any javascript!
It does give a workable example of how to populate a jump menu from a database, which I was unable to find on the web.
Comments welcome.

Link to attached file

Hi,
I have a PDF with and a file attached to it (Excel sheet). I want to make a link in my document to open the attached file. How can I do that?
The background:
I was not my first idea to attach the file. I would like better linking the file which is normally on a mapped network drive. I have to share my PDF between users and I did no manage putting an absolute link into my PDF. If the first part of my question does not work, can someone tell me how I can put a static (link will never change), absolute link to a file which is on a mapped network drive?
Thanks to all,

It's possible, but only using a script... (I was talking about linking to an attached file, not an external file on a server)

Link to attachment not working in Collaboration Task

Hi All,
We found an issue when we are attaching documents to a Collaboration
Task which is created from a Collaboration Room:
When we link documents that have been already stored in KM everything
works fine. However when we use the direct upload at Task generation
the links are not always accessible.
We found out that the URLs which are generated behind the links differ
in one slash.
We are on EP 7 SP 14.
Thanks & Regards,
TC

Have you tried %20%20 in the code rather than spaces?
Just a guess.
See if that works in RoboHelp's viewer.

HT5373 Can html links be attached to events?

Does anyone know why I sometimes get the following screen when tryint to open HTML links that I add as attachments to calendar events? Sometime the links work flawlessly and sometimes I get this screen which requires 4-10 "cancels" to remove from view. then the site I was trying to reach is in a raw, disabled format. Thanks!!
For example, I am trying to help my daughter study for a science test and want to attach this link to an event in my icloud calendar that reminds her to study and provides this link/attachment as a resource. but when I try to copy the link from my browser ( http://www.neok12.com/Digestive-System.htm) it inserts this instead https://p14-caldav.icloud.com/Digestive-System.htm. When I click on that link I am asked to enter a user name and password to get past the Microsoft Security Window.
This does not happen every time I paste a link and I am stumped!

You can add as many css files as you like.
Just name sure you are referencing them correctly.

Need link to attachment from a list.

I've got a user who has a very large SharePoint list, to which she is attaching files (normally, I'd recommend a Document Library, but that's its own story). She wants to be able to have a direct link to the attached file as a list column. Much
to my surprise, this is not possible OOTB.
I've seen this described for 2007
elsewhere, but was unsuccessful in adapting it to SPD 2010. Has anybody encountered a solution for this for 2010, or know how the 2007 solution could be adapted?
Many thanks!

Hi Josh,
From your description, I’d recommend you create a new column for attachments in the current list. Here are the steps:
1.In the List Tools > List > Modify View > Modify in SharePoint Designer (Advanced).
2.Then you come to SharePoint Designer 2010. Switch to Split view and locate the column. Then right-click and insert Column to the Right.
3.Then locate the td part as below:
<td><xsl:text xmlns:ddwrt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/webparts/v2/data....
</td>
4.Replace it with the code as below:
<td id="ItemAttchment" class="ms-vb">
          <xsl:element name="SharePoint:AttachmentsField">
          <xsl:attribute name="runat">server</xsl:attribute>
           <xsl:attribute name="FieldName">Attachments</xsl:attribute>
          <xsl:attribute name="ControlMode">Display</xsl:attribute>
          <xsl:attribute name="Visible">true</xsl:attribute>
          <xsl:attribute name="ItemId">
          <xsl:value-of select="@ID"/>
          </xsl:attribute>
          </xsl:element>
</td>
5.Then view in the IE browser and see if it works as expected.
The screen shot below is the result from my lab environment:

Mailto link with attached file

Hi
I'm trying to find out how to make a mailto link where a
predefined file is attached. I have not yet succeded. Can any one
help me?
I'm making at intranet where I have a lot of templates. When
you click on the link for the specific template I would like to
open as a mail where the template is attached. I have heard it
should be possible to incoorporate in the mailto attribute. Is that
correct and in case; how?
Best regards/Jean

You cannot do this with a mailto: link. You would have to use
the better
method of server scripting to attach a file.

Row document link to attachment or activity

Dear experts,
I made some modification on purchase order form.... put 1 udf coloum named 'other supplier quotation ' (vendor field) ..but i want to make another udf coloum that contain activity number that link (drill down) into it's activity that contain attachment.. so manager can see 2 quotation to compare it .

Hi Dylan,
If u want drill down option from PO to activity then i guess you should try it through SDK.
Alternatively, using FMS you can only have Activity Number Attached to the field. If you want to check the Activity manually you have to open the Activity window and scroll to the Activity.

Update database record from email link or attachment ?

Hello,
Is there any way to send email from application with a link to update database record (like oracle workflow in selfservice).
This is applied for approval process.
Rather than the approval will log onto the application, he will click on the attachment or link then the update statement will fire.
Is it possible?

You didn't add a forms version, so this is hard to guess. If you are on 10g and higher then you are using Oracle Application Server; in the installation there is the mod_plsql apache module included as well:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B14099_19/web.1012/b14010/concept.htm
so you could simply call a stored procedure via a HTTP request which updates your record. If you are on a lower version of forms you could make use of the free mod_owa module which you could configure with a plain apache installation on e.g. your database server: https://oss.oracle.com/projects/mod_owa/dist/documentation/modowa.htm
you should implement some sort of authentication as well; both mod_owa and mod_plsql also have the facility to do so via +owa_custom+
OWA_CUSTOM
(see the OwaAuth directive in mod_owa for example).
Of course you could do the very same via a custom Java Servlet; however you'd have to implement the database connection pool, the call of your stored procedure, the authentication e.g. as well which you would get for free with the apache modules.
cheers

Linking & opening attachment

I have created a PDF document that also has an attachment (also a PDF document). There is a link within the main document that links to the attachment.
When I click on the link, the main document automatically closes, and the attached document opens, with no way to navigate back to the original without opening it from scratch.
Is there a way to set the attached document to open in a different window after a link is clicked?
Gail

There is an alternative.
See the screen capture below.
Edit the link that is on the "main" PDF and which takes one to the "attached" PDF.
By editing the Link's Action you avoid have to instruct (& knock on wood to hope reader reads and heeds).
End-user just clicks the link. "Main" PDF remains open in its window.
The attached PDF opens in its own window.
Be well...
