Linking to a specific page within the same PDF

Hello There!
I have one PDF document that is organized like this:
Page 1-10 Main Information
Page 11-12 Appendix 1
Page 13-15 Appendix 2
I need direct links to Appendix 1 and Appendix 2 from a HTML page. For example, when the user clicks (within my HTML page) on Appendix 1, the PDF opens and automatically goes to Page 11.
I know in HTML I would use an anchor tag but that does not seem to be an option here.
Any advice on this?
Thank you for your help!

How to merge pages within the same document?

Can I merge pages within the same pdf document? I have two large maps, an east and west, can I put the two pages together to make one map?

How different are the layouts?
You can vary the left and right pages:
+Inspector > Layout > Section > Configuration > Left and right pages are different+
But the position of the headers, footers and margins will be the same.
You could make different designs and capture those but each would have to be its own section. This sort of thing works better in Layout mode, where every page is a different section, but you won't get automatic text flow nor TOC, footnotes etc.
Pages rapidly gets very clumsy when you try to do detail layout to this extent.

Simple button action that goes to a page within the same doc

I can't figure this out. I have a button I want to use that takes a person back to the first, or second page of the same doc. It's a catalog section with a table of contents. I need to make links for the pdf that takes people to certain pages within the same document.
In the Buttons panel, I see how to make the button, but when I assign an action, the only choice that makes sense is "Go To Destination", but I don't get or see any way to choose "page 2" of the document, or another selection method.
I did this before a few years ago on hundreds of pages, and when I open those old documents up to copy/paste the same buttons, they don't even appear to have actions on them anymore, as if it never happened.
So, what's the secret? Certainly there's a way to link to another page in the same ID file, no?

Finally figured it out. I do NOT use the button panel at all. No buttons needed. Just select the grouped object that I want for my button, and hit the "add hyperlink" button in the Hyperlink panel. Then choose "Page" from the menu that opens up and be on my way. What was throwing me for a bad loop, was that I had copied and pasted the button graphic form another document. Well, since the link made previously was broken now, I had the red flag in the Hyperlinks panel...and thus, the "new hyperlink" button was greyed out, sending me in circles. The minute I deleted the old hyperlink it carried over from the old document, the new hyperlink button worked again and all was well.
Thanks.

I have a problem with two PDF's when trying to open them through a link on a web page. The two PDF's open fine with Adobe on my own PC and on the server I have copied it to but when they are opened through a link on a web page (pointing to the server where the PDFs open fine) I get an error 'There was an error processing a page. Invalid function resource' The other one just doesn't open at all. Can anyone help with this please?

Hello,
Are the pdf linked correctly in the website? Is this a public website? If yes, please post the link here.

How can I turn a phrase into a hyperlink to a page within the same iBook?

I tried the link inspector in all ways I could see, but could not find a way to make a phrase a link to another page or heading within the same book in iBook Author (which is very easy in HTML).

After posting the question, I saw in the right side bar a previous question raising the same issue. In fact, it solves it!

In Pages, is there a way to have both portrait and landscape pages within the same document?

Question: In Pages, is there a way to change the orientation within the same document so that one page is portrait and the next page is landscape, for example?

Hi Vicki,
You can rotate in Preview. See this discussion:
Re: rotate second page so will print as booklet

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).

Create a link to a specific page, on the disc

Ok. I am creating a PDF that will need buttons to link to specific pages in other PDFs.
I know how to do this if the PDFs are online but the boss needs a 'dvd delivered' SOOOooooo...
-Root
Main PDF (with button)
   -subfolder
    Target PDF (page 3)
    Target PDF (page 12)
    etc....
Would it be the on release -> open file -> ??
I tried doing open file: and added #page=2 to the end of the line. Not successful.

Possible solution?
During a chat with a friend; we talked about it was not dependent on the browser (trying to figure if IE or FF was the problem) and I said, "It's not the browser causing the issue" well.. that led me to think "use the flippin browser then!"
Process/Work Around;
On the final DVD I will make a simple HTML web page that is nothing more than a billeted list of hyper links to all the PDFs that will be referenced save it as a web page in a sub-folder and presto... my 'website' is on the disc. Now instead of the open file failure, I'll use the goto HTML..blah blah...=page#2 code that works!

Can you link one folio to another within the same app?

Say you are designing an official guide for a large sports event.
FOLIO 1 is full of articles, features, interviews etc.
FOLIO 2 is updated daily with latest scores, fixtures and statistics.
Is it possible to have a button in Folio 1 that takes you to a page within Folio 2?
Thanks

There is an unsupported method that works only on the iPad. See DPS Tips > Advanced Overlays > Advanced Linking, or read this:
http://contentviewer.adobe.com/s/DPS%20Tips/7f80a0ffed3a4ff08734bc905aac4a29/Advanced_Over lays/22_AdvancedLinking.html
If the folios are retail, both need to be downloaded for the link to work. Otherwise, an error message appears.

Possible to split one large pdf into multiple pages (in the same pdf?)

I have some well logs that have been scanned - problem is they're coming is as one loooong page in the pdf. Is it possible to split it up into several 8.5 x 11 pages within Acrobat, or do I need special software?

Depends on what you have and the amount of length (a time issue). The simplest way is to use the crop tool to get a page worth and save it, then repeat for the next page, etc. Once all the pages are saved, you can put them back together. You should then use redax or such (print to a new PDF in a pinch) to remove the cropped portions. As I said, this is a bit time consuming, but can do the job. There are likely quicker ways and possibly some 3 party products that can do the job also.

Why won't linking to other captivate slides within the same project work?

I have created a Captivate 7 project which needs internal hyperlinking, (ie. the ability to move to particular slides when clicking a hyperlink or hyperlinked object) but the links don't work when I preview them using the preview next 5 slides function. I have tried everything. I even published a test project with various hyperlinks to see if it was just the previewer and they didn't work in the final, published piece (although this was a zipped file, not sure if this is interactive.)
I need a linked doc and am desperate at this point. Any thoughts?

Publish completely to a folder on your hard drive.
Make sure that folder is set up as a trusted location in your Flash Global Security settings:
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-troubleshooting/how-to-set-up-flash-global -security
If the linking still does not work, check quiz settings in your project to see if you have backard movement allowed and set Quiz > Settings > Required drop down to Optional. Sometimes internal jump links don't work because navigation options are limited by these settings.

Add the ability to flatten specific pages not the whole PDF

There are times when I need to flatten a PDF, or should I say part of a PDF and it would be nice to not have to extract pages then re-insert them.

Note that with the doc.flattenPages JavaScript method, you can flatten a range of pages, which can represent a single page. More information is in the Acrobat JavaScript reference.

How do I link a reference point in one PDF to a specific page in a different PDF? I want it to open link in a new window AT the specific page.

I have a paper with multiple reference points that I need to link to 3 other pdfs. Each time I create a link in the master PDF, I need to open a file in a new window and point to a specific page in the other pdf. I cannot get it to work.

Hmmmm, just tried that and used the magnify glass to capture the specific page in the second pdf, but when I tried the link, it doesn't open a new window, it sits within the original pdf and I can't go back to the page I need to. What am I missing/
