Links between two separate PDF documents - one as reference for another.

Hello, everyone.
I have a special project that I believe would be best addressed with the creation of two independent but linked PDF files. Let me be more detailed.
My plan is to create a PDF file as a text document. In this text document there will be numerous references to documents and articles that I intend to place in a second PDF file. I would like the user to be able to open the text document PDF on the left side of his computer screen and also open the reference PDF with documents and articles on the right side of his computer screen. Every time the user comes across a section of the document that offers a link to an external reference the user would be able to click on it and the PDF on right would display the page corresponding to the reference on the PDF on the left. I hope this makes sense.
Is it possible to create PDFs with this type of relationship ? I am guessing that in order for these links to work both PDFs will have to reside in the same directory so that the links (relative links in this case) may work properly. Is this true ? How can I make this work and is there a good document I can read or tutorial I can watch that would describe this in detail ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello, try67.
Considering what you share I don't think this solution is the right one for me. I am trying to find a simple solution that would allow me to accomplish this task. Considering it would require scripting or programming the solution has just become more complex than what I feel I can comfortably handle.
Thank you anyway for your help.

  • Overlay and Merge two separate PDFs into one PDF

    Hello
    I have a master single page PDF, which has a hole in it where variable text/images will appear.
    The variable text/images is also supplied as a single page PDF (there are 9000 of these files).
    Is there a way using JavaScript to automate the process of overlaying the variable text PDFs onto the master PDF and saving out as 9000 combined single page files?
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Kevin

    It can be possible with Acrobat JavaScript's template object, but it appears you would need to insert your master page into the 900 text/image pages, make the master page a hidden template, and then overly the template.

  • How can I combine separate pdf documents into one document with several pages

    I have been using Preview to separate pdf pages into separate pdf documents. How might I do the reverse. Preview appears to have combined the documents in the thumbnail, but will not allow saving this. It just saves the highlighted page.

    Open all the documents. Choose View > Contact Sheet. All the pages will be shown as thumbnails, separated by document. Select the pages you want in the final document and drag them into the desired order, in one document space.

  • Sharing data between two separate user sessions

    Hi all!
    I have been trawling my brain for a solution to this - any help will be appreciated!
    I would like to create a single instance of a class but share that instance over more than one user session (two separate users but both running concurrently).
    Just as you can pass data between sessions using ABAP memory - I would like to pass data (specifically an object reference) between two separate users that could even be logged in to two separate application servers...
    Even a mini Client/server solution would suffice but I cannot figure one out!
    Is this possible?
    Many thanks for your thoughts in advance...
    N

    Hello N K,
    sorry thats not possible. Sharing a data item / object instance requires at least a common physical memory. As this is not guaranteed between different app. server this is technical not possible.
    With release 640 ABAP offers the new feature Shared Objects. These mechanism allows access by different users and some propagation to differnt servers.There is an interesting article on the ABAP SDN homepage
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/developerareas/abap.sdn
    For relases below more or less the database is the only chance to store data accross application servers (known to me). One exception might be the ENQUEUES which might (mis)used to store some Flags.
    Kind Regards
    Klaus

  • Dynamic link confusing two separate AE compositions in PPro from different projects

    I am using CS5 Master Collection for Windows 7 (64 bit) on an HP Pro desktop (Intel core 2 duo, 6Gb RAM). The tower has two hard drives installed (no RAID). CS5 is installed on the original C drive along with the OS, but the working files, footage etc are all on the larger, secondary F drive.
    I am working on a DVD project consisting of several seperate PPro projects. Each project has been colour corrected in AE using dynamic linking. Recently two of my projects suddenly became mixed up, by which I mean the video (not the audio) from one AE composition in one project has taken the place of another in another project. The clip remains the same length, but the link apears to be referencing the wrong clip during playback. Interestingly, there are two clips on the track above the affected clip that fade out and in at either end, during the dissolves between clips, the correct footage plays. It is only when the clip plays by itself that the problem occurs. The next clip also has the same error, though the problem only occurs for half the clip and then suddenly corrects itself. Just to be clear, All clips have been rendered, there are no more than two video tracks on the sequence, and I have tried replacing the composition from the asset menu (in which the clip plays back correctly), but the problem remains in the sequence.
    I hope that descrition is clear enough. My guess is some kind of file path error in the dynamic link, perhaps due to the separate hard drive. But I really wouldn't know. I'm very pressed for time right now and I'd prefer not to go against workflow and re-edit a new composition in AE, I would also like to understand what is going on in case it happens again.
    Any help with ths problem would be appreciated,
    J

    Thanks Colin, I tried what you suggested with both the AE Project that it should be referencing and the AE project it is erroneously referencing but both failed to fix the issue. Its as if a hidden clip were laid over the top of the one I want to play. Frustrating.

    It's not the comps that are the problem; it's the project file names themselves. You can have all the comps in a project named the same thing, and it'll be fine, but naming projects incrementally is an issue. After Effects includes a versioning function (Save and Increment) that will create a new AE project file with a serial number, e.g. AE Project 01, AE Project 02, etc. This is all well and good if you're just working in After Effects, but Dynamic Link gets confused and will usually start looking at the later project file for comps. That will just create a big mess, as you've found. Changing the names of the project files won't help things relink automatically properly, but it can help you fix things. Make all your DL AE comps offline in your Pr projects, and name your AE projects in a manner that is not serial (give them more random names). Select your offline AE comps, and right-click > Link Media, and point to the new AE project. Things should link up correctly then--but if they don't, you'll just have to remove all the AE comps from your Pr project, reimport the comps from the newly-named AE project, and replace them. It's a pain but it'll probably just keep getting worse if you don't.

  • View Link between two query views

    Hi is it possible to create a view link between two views having the where clause bind variables.
    How you set the bind variables at the run time for the View objects. It is giving hard time for me to use the Master view in the XmlData bean to generate the Xml document.
    I am able to set the Master views bind variables, but for view link destination view
    where clause bind variables are not able to set ( link object link condition bind variables are binded run time but the views where chause bind variables of destination view are unable to setand bind)
    Thanks
    null

    Easiest way to do this is to add additional transient attributes to your master view object, and then include those additional transient attributes in the list of source attributes for your view link. This way, you can get BC4J to automatically refer to their values with no additional code on your part.

  • IWeb • How Do I Make Links in an Embedded PDF Document Open in New Page?

    On this page http://ostyn-newman.com/Gov_Downloads.html I have a PDF document that is embedded.  I tried an IFrame, but everything seemed to work better for me with the "Embed" code.  I am open to changing this if it would be better.  Here's my problem.  I can get the PDF document to display fine, but when I click on the links in the PDF document, the destination page opens in the embedded window.  I want the links to open the destination in a new window.
    I created the part of the document with most of the links (Pages 8.5 - 56) in Numbers and cut and pasted the table into a Pages document to create the completed document on our site.  I exported the docuemnt from Pages as a PDF file which is what you see.  There is also a link to download the file on the same page which works just fine.
    I have tried to insert the target="_blank" code but have not been able to get it to open the destination pages in a new window.  I am inserting the code by using the Insert/Widget/HTML Snippet Feature in IWeb.  Here is the code I am using.
    <embed src=
    "http://ostyn-newman.com/Media/GS27F0026XTextfile.pdf"
    style="width:850px; height:1000px;
    border-width:0px;
    border-color:#FFCC66;
    border-style:solid;"
    scrolling="auto" >
    </embed>
    I am not a coder and have just used Google to find the code to cut and paste and have played around with it to get to the place I am.  If anybody can tweak the code I have or offer some totally new code for me to insert that will get this to work would be greatly appreciated.
    Please keep in mind that most of the people who visit and use this page are government employees and are almost exclusivey using Explorer. 

    Thank you Jeff,
    I tried your original suggestion and now my inserted html widget reads
    <embed src=
    "http://ostyn-newman.com/Media/GS27F0026XTextfile.pdf"
    style="width:850px; height:1000px;
    border-width:0px;
    border-color:#FFCC66;
    border-style:solid;"
    scrolling="auto" target="_blank">
    </embed>
    It is live on my site.  You can see that the embedded document still opens the destination links in the embedded window.
    As for your other two suggestions, thank you as well.  I am aware of those techniques and did not use them because that is not how I want the other PDF links on the page to behave.  The catalog and autocad blocks downloads in the box at the top should simply download (or behave however the client's browser is configured to handle downloaded PDF documents or zip files.)  I don't intend to force those to open a new window.  I could also have our client click on a link to the PDF document and open it in a new page (like in your second suggestion) but I was hoping to embed the PDF and have it automatically viewable on our Download • Terms • Prices Page with all of the PDF search functions intact as well as the links be active.  My only complaint at this point is that the links in the embedded PDF document open the destination page in the embed window instead of a new window.  I only want to force a new window because the destination window doesn't behave properly when it opens in my embed window and it is difficult to figure out how to go back to the my PDF document when a destination window gets opened in the embed window.  The code you sent didn't do the trick.  Or maybe I didn't get it exactly right.  That is why I included it above.  Thanks for trying though.  I appreciate the effort.
    I would be willing to bypass the imbed/iFrame route altogether if I could just somehow drop the Pages document into the IWeb page and retain the search and link features, but I've not been able to figure out how to do that.  When I was exploring how to directly drop a Pages document into an IWeb page is when I stumbled on the method of embedding a PDF document into an IWeb page to retain the important search and link features.

  • Linking between two workspaces

    Good afternoon all,
    I was wondering if there was anyway for me to link between two workspaces on the same schema.
    What I currently have set up is two workspaces (1 and 2). I have done a lot of work on 1 and built a Single Sign On application to manage my applications. Workspace 2 was created for a separate team, but I would like some sort of authentication. I was wondering if there was anyway for me to leverage my existing app in Workspace 1 to authenticate for applications in Workspace 2.
    My guess is that it's not possible, but I figured I might as well ask around to see if there is some weird hack around it.
    Thanks in advance,
    Ivan

    Alright I'll post it on there. Figured that InDesign users would know more about the links and how to set them up. Thanks for the advice.

  • Create view link between two view objects (from programmatic data source)

    Hi Experts,
    Can we create a link between two view objects (they are created from programmatic datasource ; not from either entity or sql query). If yes how to create the link; ( i mean the like attributes?)
    I would also like to drag and drop that in my page so that i can see as top master form and the below child table. Assume in my program i will be only have one master object and many child objects.
    Any hits or idea pls.

  • How to compare two separate PDF files with certain fields identical?

    Does anyone know of a way that I could compare two separate PDF files containing the same information in certain locations?  Please keep in mind that they contain different information as well.  I know that it could be done with importing it to excel and running VBA to format the information to be similar and use formulas to validate information is correct, but this needs to be done very quickly with multiple files through out the day.  One way to explain what type of PDF file this is, is think of excel: Column A and J contain the same information but B:I contain different information.  Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

    This unfortunately was never answered but we found a different solution rather than comparing PDF's. 

  • Link Between two worksheets in Discoverer

    Hi...
    I'm trying to create a link between two worksheets without success.
    What I have is a 'General Ledger' worksheet which lists the journal source for a particular account code that is selected by the user via a parameter. Say the journal source is Accounts Payable invoices, what I want to do is have another worksheet which is 'Accounts Payable' and on that worksheet I want to be able to list all the invoices that make up the journal total on the 'General Ledger' worksheet.
    I have tried to create a link using a sub query condition but when I run the report, the first part 'General Ledger' works fine but when I click on the 'Accounts Payable', I get a "Invalid Number" error message.
    I am going to need to create these type of links for various reports.
    I would be very grateful if anyone can please advise on how to create the link.
    Thanks

    I think you're on the right track with the subquery. So, the wrong number error must be related to the format of the columsn you use for the subquery.
    Alternatively, if the account number you've created the parameter for in sheet 1, you can use the same parameter again for sheet 2 (then check "only one value for all sheets" for that parameter). But this obviously only works if that account number is in the second sheet too...

  • Link between two or more reports

    Hi All,
    I want to make a link between two Hyperion Financial Reports. I'm working on HFR 9.3.1 version.
    For example :-
    There must be an option in report, like a hyperlink to open another report. After a click on the link it will open the linked report.
    I tried one option "Add releated contents" but that works only on grid which are having cell values but what I'm looking is to give a link on text and from that text link user will able to navigate.
    Regards,

    Sorry I just thought of a workaround
    You do have to use related content on a data value but you can use formatting to hide everything but the link. Use the REPLACE tab within the cell format to relace the data value with a text string (what you want your URL to display as). If you want it as a menu then you could do this in a seperate grid altogether to save you having to mess with your actual report grid too much.
    Hope this helps

    How can I set up two separate accounts on one shared iPad?

    The iPad is meant to be a single user device.
    It is possible to use multiple ID's on an iOS device, but when you switch ID's and download content with another ID, you associate the device with that ID for 90 days and lock yourself out of the other ID for that 90 day period.
    So while it is possible, it's not advisable.
