Links and View Sizes

Using Acrobat 8, I have a long single page document with a set of links at the top which relate to articles down the length of the document.
When I use the link tool to set these the destination always appears at the magnification I was using when the link was created. If go back and edit the link to make the destination inherit the view that was being used when the link was clicked the link breaks because this only appears to work on multi-page documents, and the link becomes the top of page 1.
There is a feature called destinations which allows me to jump to another part of the same page, but that only works with a single fixed magnification, so the magnification changes to whatever it was when I set the link, and there appears no way of making it inherit the magnification used at the moment the link was clicked.
I have exactly the same problem with any bookmarks I create.
The last time I used Acrobat to make I was using an earlier version which used a different method to define the link destination that therefore I'm pretty sure it was possible to do what I want.
Anyone know how to achieve this in Acrobat 8 (is it possible in 9)?

No that doesn't make any sense or answer my question either...
I've found more problems with this since my initial post.
In the end for the sake of getting the job live, I set my initial view to 100% and all my linked and bookmarked views also to 100%. I went into the document properties dialogue and set it to resize the window to the initial page on opening the document.
However on the next opening of the PDF although the initial view of the document was 100% all my link and bookmark views were now something like 55%. From what I could see it appeared that these had scaled down in proportion from the document window size (full wide screen) to the size the window was when reduced to fit the document at 100%.
So of course I had to go through all the links and bookmarks again and reset them to 100% at the new window size.
Either this whole concept of document view sizes is massively flawed and Adobe are ignoring the problems or Adobe's ideas of how links and views should work are completely different from mine (and many other users) in which case I would like them to explain their thinking behind how this works so maybe I can understand it too.
For me a new link should always inherit to current magnification unless the author deliberately overrides this. That's certainly how I'd want to be navigating around a PDF.
I the absence of any useful advice or rational from Adobe, I guess my next course of action will be to ask embarrassing questions at the next trade show where Adobe have a stand...

    If you don't want a :hover state to show in the phone css of a fluid grid layout, you would remove it from the global settings and only include it in the tablet and desktop media queries.
    Or are you trying to do something else?

    I am using CS6 InDesign on a PC using a Windows 7 operating system.
    Due to eyesight issues, I need to have the menu bars of programs in easy-to-read font and picture size.  Specifically, the menu bar across the top (File, Edit, View, etc.), and the menu bar on the left side with the graphic depiction of options.
    In earlier versions of Windows (e.g. XP), whenever I changed the screen resolution on my computer to a lesser resolution in order to show the link icons on my desktop in a larger, more readable size, all the software programs, including yours, appeared on my screen with the menu bars in the larger font size that I needed.
    However, in Windows 7, this is not the case.  Even though I have selected the lowest resolution, making the icons on my desktop extremely large, I cannot read the options across the top menu bar of your program, nor the pull-down menu items that they contain.  I cannot see the graphic depictions of options on the left side of the screen. They are all too small.  How can I make your program increase the size?

    NO way.

  • Finder Window Sizes and View Options

    In an earlier message under Mac OS X Panther it was recommended that I post a new message in the AppleScript forum.
    I'm looking for a way to automate the repetitive task of resizing Finder windows and resetting view options. For example resetting a hundred folders to the same window size and screen position with the same view options. This requires manually adjusting each window one by one.
    A solution could be an AppleScript that would automate this task.
    The following is the earlier message:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1283081#1283081
    I mistakenly deleted all the preference files for the Finder window options on my 17 inch PowerBook (.DS_Store Files).
    This has returned all Finder windows to default settings for window sizes and view options.
    I use custom widow sizes for all my folders that nicely fit the 17 inch screen on my PowerBook, leaving enough desktop space on the right for the hard drive icons and the Dock that I always keep vertical on the right.
    I have a 12 inch PowerBook as well. And it has it's own custom window size that fits it's much smaller screen. It has always been a complaint of mine to have to manually reset windows whenever I needed to transfer folders with Bluetooth file exchange.
    Resetting Finder window sizes and view option has always been a time consuming problem. Now to have to do it over again for hundreds of windows is a huge task that is way to manual.
    The Finder is customizable. There must be a way to set the options for one window and be able to use those adjustments for other windows without having to re adjust each setting manually.
    There was an application called Finder Window Manager. Maybe someone knows of another application that can do this of task or another way around this issue.

    Photoscene,
    I think if you repost this to the AppleScript link, someone there will have a solution for you (in the form of an applescript that you can run)...

    Give it a shot (I'm not clever enough to give you a good script yet, but someone there will be!)

  • Links and destinations problems - page view

    Hi there,
    I'm working on a large PDF in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. This PDF has a LOT of internal links, and I want to link to a page view, and inherit zoom. Not only do I have to manually change the zoom to "inherit zoom" after I create a link, but Acrobat has stopped saving my changes.
    Things were going along swimmingly for awhile - I was creating links, making the destination a page view (so that the user can find the appropriate glossary entry I'm linking them to), and then going back and choosing "Inherit Zoom". And then copying the link and pasting it throughout the document as I needed. all great. Until, randomly, one of the links didnt' test right. I clicked on it and was taken to the TOP of the page, not the page view - its action was set to "Go to a page in this document" instead of "Go to a page view". So I deleted that link, and started over with a fresh one, making sure it was set to "Go to a page view". Then I copied that link, and pasted it 2 pages later. I tested that second link, and once again it just took me to the top of the page. I tested the original one - the one I made to replace the faulty one 2 pages ago - and even though I had JUST set it to page view, it too just went to the top of the page.
    This is so frustrating - Acrobat is literally just ignoring my commands. I am at a loss as to what to do. Please help!

  • Rh10 - HTML Help - linking to pdf shows when generate CHM and 'view results' but not when double-click on CHM in project folder or in product help

    I have several PDFs in Baggage Files that are linked to topics in the Table of Contents.  When I generate the CHM file and 'View Results' I am able to pull up/access the PDFs with no problem.  When I go into the project folder and just double-click on the CHM file, I cannot pull up/access any of the PDFs nor can I access them in the product help.  Any ideas?  Is a setting "off" somewhere in my project?
    I am using RoboHelp 10.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the idea, but I can't switch the project to WebHelp.  This .chm project consists of a master project with 18 slave projects and a slew of remote jumps.  I'd have to recreate all of the remote jumps if I switch to WebHelp.
    Hopefully Adobe can fix this issue.
    Well, first off, even though it would be WebHelp, it would be inside a CHM container. So for all intents and purposes it would be a CHM file. But having said that, I'm not sure there is a way to merge these hybrid types of CHM files.
    If your statement about Adobe fixing the issue is meaning that they can either remove the Print icon from the CHM Viewer, I wouldn't hold my breath because as I said, that's in Microsoft's lap and they haven't updated the CHM viewer in a long while. Doubtful they ever will.
    The only hope would then be for Adobe to update the code used for the Mini TOC. The only way that will happen is if enough folks submit this as a bug via the following link:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/wish
    Until that would happen, your likely best bet is to simply avoid using the Mini-TOC feature or just insert a warning that if the topic is printed, it will cause issues. Or, you could use bookmarks and links to establish your own verision of a "Mini-TOC"

  • EJB Finder View Links and CMR

    Hi,
    Can someone please give me some input on the following warning in the JDeveloper online help!
    "Warning: You cannot create an EJB finder view link that expresses the same relationship as a CMR."
    I'm new to EJB, BC4J and JDeveloper. I created container managed entity beans with local interfaces only to represent my data and relationships. No problems with the mapping so far.
    To test the beans I used Session Facades with remote interfaces and build a sample test client.
    Now I thought I could create EJB Entity Facades, EJB Finder View Objects, EJB Finder View Links and EJB Application Modules to make use of the BC4J framework in order to speed up programming clients (JSP and JClient).
    So I've started studying the JDeveloper online help (which seems to be very useful) and found the above mentioned warning.
    Well, better a warning than nothing at all, but some more explanations would have been even better.
    Is there no need to use view links with CMR?
    How to achieve the same functionality (synchronizing two view objects in a master-detail-relationship) with CMR?
    Do you know any examples? I couldn't find any examples using EJB entity facades in the "sample code" area on OTN.
    Any comments about other (better) architectures are also welcome. Would it be better to use BMP entity beans in conjunction with BC4J?
    Many thanks for your help!
    Regards,
    Eric

    Steven,
    thank you for your reply and suggestions - I'll count on that. If I find time I'll read this book. It seems to be very interesting.
    For educational purposes I'd like to look at both persistence implementation strategies. I agree that it looks definitly easier to use entity objects. Certainly it's also performancewise a better choice.
    Anyhow, could you give me some useful tips for cmp entity beans and finder view objects?
    Is there something which works completely different if I use BC4J on top of it?
    How to implement a master-detail relationship in JClient (Swing) for example?
    What about writing an ejbfinder which doesn't return all, but all data where the foreign key is equal to a parameter passed to the finder method and use this as the source for a detail view object. This could be the primary key of the selected master. Well, I don't know whether this is doable. But that's what comes to my mind spontaneously.
    Would this be a solution? I'm still thinking about the aforementioned warning in the online help regarding view links.
    I guess the problem is that the foreign key is not part of the entity bean as it's not a cmp-field. Instead you have accessor methods to retrieve a related object or a collection of objects.
    I'm sure my questions are not too complicated to answer. It's only hard for a beginner to get an overview.
    I'm quite confident that I'll manage this if I give my best and get some help from knowledgeable people like you Steven.
    Regards,
    Eric
