Linking to multipage pdf in HTML Resources folder

Have a multipage pdf in HTML Resources folder that I'm linking to from various parts of my folio. Would be ideal if instead of always opening on page 1, I could set it to open on page 4 from one button and page 12 from another. For legal reasons, I cannot split the pdf. Is this possible?

Hi there
If you are testing this from your local PC, odds are you are generating with Mark Of The Web enabled. The side effect of this is that links to things such as PDF documents won't work. But after you upload to a web server and test, things should work fine.

Can't pinch and zoom pdfs from HTML Resources anymore

After Folio Viewer Update there is no pinch and zoom in pdf from HTML-Resources.
Before the Update everything works fine in my Folios. Has anybody the same problem?
I rebuild a Folio V32, Only vertical, Standard PDF - same Problem. (iOS8.0.2. Ipad)
Is there a solution?
Thanks

Yes. I am having the same problem. I cannot pinch and zoom into pdfs from HTMLResources.zip, which is making them unusable in my app for the phone version.

Linking between Flash, pdf and html

How to link from Flash to certain page in pdf document
displaying in web browser?
this is not working:
on (release) {
getURL("interfaces.pdf#example", "_self");
neither: #nameddest=example, #page=2
This works though from html, but only first time. If you surf
beck and then go to the same link it doesnt navigate to that page!
Any idea very appreciated!
Thanx

Hi Raymond,
To respond to your question:
Would I have to create two regions with each region the same chart one in Flash and one in HTML and Hide/Show the region depending on the platform I am running eg iPAD or Desktop?
No, this isn't necessary at all. One chart region with a "Chart Rendering" setting of "Flash Chart" on the Chart Attributes page will do the trick. With APEX 4.2, we introduced HTML5 chart support using AnyChart, our existing supplier of Flash charts in APEX. One of the great features of their new HTML5 charting support is how they handle the rendering of a chart. If you take a look at AnyChart's documentation on the rendering options available as part of their HTML5 support, http://www.anychart.com/products/anychart/docs/users-guide/migration-guide.html#from-5.1.x-to-6.x-rendering-types, there are 4 possible rendering options available. We declaratively support two of those options in APEX:
AnyChart Rendering Option       Associated APEX "Chart Rendering" setting
FLASH_PREFERRED                 Flash Chart
SVG_ONLY                        HTML5 ChartSo if you choose to generate a "Flash Chart" in APEX 4.2, AnyChart will handle the rendering of that chart for you, depending upon whether Flash is found on the device or not. Where Flash is detected, a Flash chart is rendered, however if Flash isn't detected (e.g. on devices such as an iPad), then a HTML5 chart will be rendered. So there's nothing additional for you to do - no need for two regions on your page with two different charts. If you choose to generate a "HTML5 Chart", then a HTML5 chart will always be rendered - this is no fallback to Flash with this option.
I hope this helps to clarify things for you.

Hilary

Linking in a PDF Via coordinance or hover over

Are there any know problems in DPS with HTML Resources on iOS8?

We have a pdf in HTML Resources that works fine in iOS7, but the inline browser comes up blank with launched in iOS8. We've tested it with a 31 folio and a 27 folio in iOS8.

Hi, again:
We've also noticed that when we hyperlink to a pdf in a public url, as well as in HTML Resources, it also produces a blank inline browser screen in a 27 or 31 folio on a 4th Gen iPad running 8beta. Has your team been able to recreate the problem or find a work around for this issue?
Thanks!

HTML Resources PDF - Folio does not download on viewer

Hi there
I have a problem with a folio that contains PDF links. THis is not the first time we are using it and we didn't have any problem with this before
After importing all my stacks and HTML resources zip file; when I open the Adobe viewer app on Ipad, I can see the folio but the download does not start; It stays at 0 MB and nothing happens
It seems that the probelm is coming from the HTML PDF. Any IDea ?
Does someone had already the same issue?
The zip file is 247MB, Is there any limitation ??

Hi,
YOu can try Archieve the Folio and download again or try publish the Folio (Private / Free), thats way you can see if there is some problem in your File or web servers. If after publish the problem continuous...Try create a new folio..I didn´t get this part

Bookmarks, named destinations and how to "robust" link to PDF from HTML?

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 did some more trials, and here is where I am at:
As page-break-after:always; was ignored by PDFGenerator, I used a hack: I wrapped my pages inside div's which have the height of the page, and this seems to work. In addition I had to edit my CSS, and remove the @media print wrapper around my print specific CSS parts, to get my print media specific formatting inside HTML to the PDF page.
I do not consider this a solution, but more of a hack - but it might work for what we are doing, and maybe it works for somebody else.
But what I am actually trying to do is the following:
We have a systems which creates reports in HTML which can be viewed in a browser, and printed from the browser, now we try to use PDFGenerator, to generate reports in PDF, with a minimal effort ( I know this is a the wrong way arround, HTML is not a language targeted at creating printable reports, but that's what we are doing now, and I think many other people are in the same boat)
Still if anybody has a better solution, please chime in, or tell me why the hack I did is a real bad idea - any feedback is welcome

I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button

I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button to navigate back to my starting point the bookmarks are replaced by "page thumbnails". Is there anyway to stop this from happening?

Hi Pusman,
While setting up the links, if you choose to open the file in a new window then you won't face this issue, then you can simply switch to the previous file and bookmark view will remain as it is.
Does that helps with your query?

Rahul

Publish report as PDF to a network folder

I'll take a chance and post this query here. We have been using Discoverer for 9+ years, against Oracle Financials. Most of our users are not that computer savy, and would rather have the report in a simple PDF or HTML format, delivered to their network folder, that they can look at for their budget information. What tool should person use to accomplish this?

Hi,
We can send reports in PDF format to a network folder using Interactive Reporting 9.3.1. Here is how I did it few months ago...
1.From your server, map the external drive to your server. \\rio.company.com\winserver\hypreports
2. Have a Domain account, example 'Hyp system' in MS Active Directory just for this purpose. Note: This account should have 'write' privilege to the folder created on network drive.
On the server, Hyperion services have 'Log On As' type 'Local System'. Change 'Log On As' type to your domain account
3.
1) create a output directory 'ODTest' as physical resource with path \\rio.company.com\winserver\hypreports\
2)import the 'file as job' in Interactive Reporting
3)add a schedule with action 'Export' and choose the output directory
Let me know if you have any questions.
regards,
Usha

Link to DOcument (PDF)

Hi
In the WEBI user guide it appears as though it is possible to link to PDF documents.
"Document cells can be defined as hyperlinks. Hyperlinks in cells are similar to the hyperlinks found on
the World Wide Web that allow you to open a different web page from the page you are currently viewing.
When you click a cell that contains a hyperlink, the target document specified in the link opens. The
target document can be another Web Intelligence document, a site on the world wide web, a PDF,
Excel or Word document, or any resource accessible through a hyperlink."
When we attempt to link to a document as follows:
1. Right-click the cell where you want to create the link and select Linking > Add Document Link
from the menu to display the "Create Hyperlink" dialog box.
2. Select the Link to a document tab.
3. Click Browse and select the target document in the Choose Document dialog box
When we Browse to the relevant folder the PDF documents do not display, only Webi documents display.
Is it possible to add PDF documents using the above mentioned functionality?
Thanks

How do I link to a PDF from a web app?

Hello, can anybody help me with this please.
I have a web app that is listing current vacancies (see it here http://pattonnz.businesscatalyst.com/about-situationsvacant )
As you can see the link to the PDF job description file is not right. What is the best way to link to a PDF? At present the web app is using a field type "Text (hyperlink)" to make the connection to the uploaded pdf but this obviously isn't working right (well it works, but it's a bit mangled and unnacceptable). There doesn't appear to be a field that will let me direct a link to the appropriate folder and file.
Web apps are pretty new to me so any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Grant

Hi Grant.
Delete that custom field.
Create a custom field type - image. Image is actually media type and you can select more then just images. This will allow you to browse the file in the admin and upload it.
The tag will be what you call it.... {tag_pdffile} - This would try and render an image html if you used this so...
You just get the raw value which is _value so... {tag_pdffile_value} and you form your own HTML in your layout.....
<a href="{tag_pdffile_value}" title="Download this file">Download PDF</a>

CS6 HTML Resource issues

Having trouble accessign my HTML Resource files.
I'm doing exactly the same thing I did in our last magazine.
I triple checked my naming conventions
for all files. Im trying to link a button to a pdf file as a "Go to URL" command.
I've accurately typed HTMLResources/file.pdf in the URL line.
Still not working. Telling me "The requested URL was not found on this server"
This was easy before. Did something change that I don't know about?

must be on my end then.
I loaded it from the folio producer and the folio builder.
i guess ill try again.
ill try again.

Problem creating several image maps (linking to different pdf files) RoboHelp 8

Hi,
I have a problem creating several image map hotspots (that link to different .pdf files), from the same image using RoboHelp 8 HTML (WebHelp project).
After compiling, the first image map hotspot created, opens the .pdf file correctly. Unfortunately, when clicking on the other image hotspots, I get an error " Cannot find file...<file path>... Make sure path or Internet address is correct".
All the pdf documents are located in the same folder within the project.
Can anyone help?

Have you added the target files as baggage?

Linking to a pdf in Rh10 WebHelp

I have a .pdf file that I want to "display" when selected from the TOC. I work on several products Online Help projects in RoboHelp 10. Two of the products use HTML Help and I generate .CHM files for them. One of these projects has a book with a page that links to a .pdf in the Baggage Files folder. After the .CHM file is generated and I click on the Page (with this link), it pulls up the .pdf document in the window where help text usually appears.
I want to do this same thing in RoboHelp 10 in a WebHelp project. I set it up the same way that the other project is set up for this book and page. The .pdf is in the Baggage Files folder and the Page link points to it there. I then Save and Generate it and view the results and AM NOT ABLE to pull up the .pdf document. I then generated a .CHM file from the same project and WAS ABLE to pull up the .pdf document (so this tells me that it is at least set up in the same way as my other project).
Does this link to a .pdf document not work in WebHelp or is there some other procedure or step that I need to take to make this happen in WebHelp?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
