Links do not work on Macs in document converted to PDF from Publisher 2007

Not sure whether to post this under Acrobat Windows or Mac as the PDFs are generated on a Windows PC but the problem involves Macs. I have come up against a very strange problem. I have converted an MS Publisher document to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro on Windows 7. The converted hyperlinks in this document work well on three separate Windows PCs (2 running XP, 1 running Windows 7) but when a Mac user views the PDF, the hyperlinks are not active.
What could be the possible cause of this? Any help appreciated.

More than likely it's because they are not using Adobe Reader or Acrobat to view the file. Ask them to be sure they are not using Mac Preview or another third party PDF viewer.

A/R Invoice linked object not working all the time

I have a LinkedButton that is set to SAPbouiCOM.BoLinkedObject.lf_Invoice. When the selected A/R Invoice has a Document Type of Service the link works. When the selected A/R Invoice has a Document Type of Items the link does not work and I get the following error:
"No matching records found 'A/R Invoice' (ODBC -2028)"
I there another property that I should be setting? I could not find anything.

Hi,
I've added a code sample that works fine for me.
add this code to a simple vb project with the correct references....
1. Enter a number of the Invoice you want
2. click on the second EditText to set the linkedButton
3. click the LinkedButton
<i>Public WithEvents m_App    As SAPbouiCOM.Application

Link is not working for one role. how to check please guide.

Hi Expert,
I have a simple question but as don;t aware of some of the techincal area not able to understand where to check.
I have a link under document flow in offer( opportunity) where for one role sales support user the link is not happening. I have checked for other role its working fine.I understand that for this role the link will not work as per the role maintianed.
But where this link got maintained and how i will be able to check which link is tagged to which profile.
rolewise mappeing with link.
Please guide.
Prem.

Hello Prem,
Please check the navigation bar profile from your business role.
Then go to the navigation bar profile settings, you can find the details settings there.
If it is a link under some work center, you need to start from the work center.
If it is a direct link, then start from the derect link group.
Hope this could be helpful.
Best regards,
'Maggie

Slow-link detection not working.

Slow-link detection not working.
In our branch office in Ethiopia we are experiencing some issues with the access to mappings. Our main office is located in the Netherlands. The Offices are connected with a VPN site2site solution.
We map a home folder to H:\ (which is working).
We map a Document share to L:\ (which is not working).
We map a Programs share to X:\ (which is not working).
All shares are DFS namespace.
We have set the according GPO which results in the following reg keys:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\NetCache\SlowLinkParams]
"\\\\DOMAIN.XXX.NL\\dfsdata"="Latency=32000"
"\\\\DOMAIN.XXX.NL\\dfsdata\\Home1"="Latency=360"
"\\\\DOMAIN.XXX.NL\\dfsdata\\Home2"="Latency=360"
"\\\\DOMAIN.XXX.NL\\dfsdata\\ConcernData"="Latency=360"
"\\\\DOMAIN.XXX.NL\\dfsdata\\Programs"="Latency=360"
The detection says in the eventvwr (OfflineFiles) says:
Path \\ DOMAIN.XXX.NL \dfsdata\home1 transitioned to slow link with latency = 106 and bandwidth = 270472
So the Homedrive is working.
But when I try to access the DFS root I get:
Windows cannot access "\\DOMAIN.XXX.NL\dfsdata
You do not have permission to access....."
And yes, the user has permission.
So the L-drive and X-drive are not accessible.
How come?

Hi,
>>Slow-link detection not working.
Did we check group policy result to see if the policy setting was applied successfully? We can run command gpresult/v or gpresult/z to collect group policy result.
Besides, instead of just focusing on slow link, this issue may be related to DFS namespace.
Regarding this point, the following blog can be referred to for more information.

Blog link is not working

Dear Friends, I try to describe what is my challenge.
Made a blog in iWeb:
http://web.mac.com/gyorgy.szimuly/SzimiStylesBirding_Experience/Blog_EN/BlogEN.html
The link of the first entry of the blog (American Wigeon - The 2003th Lifer) in the text box is not working when rolling over the mouse. Looks the reflection of the image overlaps the part of the text box disabling the link click-ability Only the last letter which is out of the reflection range is clickable. Anyhow I try to arrange the picture frame backwards I cannot achieve the desired result.
Any idea why this happens?
Interestingly it is working on the Hungarian page of the same content. :?
BR: Szimi

Any idea why this happens?
Because the link is in body layer and this image: http://web.mac.com/gyorgy.szimuly/SzimiStylesBirding_Experience/Blog_EN/Blog_EN_files/shapeimage1.jpg is in the header layer, which makes the reflection also in header layer.
The link does not work because of z-index: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/zindex.html
The body layer has z-index = 5 and header layer has z-index = 10.
Interestingly it is working on the Hungarian page of the same content. :?
The image in Hungarian page is in body layer.
So you need to move the image in English page to body layer - drag while hold down command key,.

Reply link does not work on ipad

After logging in to this group, the reply link does not work on either my ipad 2 running IOS 8.1.3 nor my iphone 4 running 7.1.2. Not helpful really. I have had to switch on my old laptop.Also I never know which group to post a new question in, The names like Snow Leopard dont really give me a clue, so if the key word does not find an existing topic, i just end up guessing.

You seem to have double posted, Lynne. I have replied on the other one.
Snow Leopard is one of the Apple operating Systems (OS X) as opposed to iOS

After updating to V 15.0 I have the issue that suddenly many but not all of the functions do not work anymore. Menues and download links do not work.

I have updated my firefox to version 15.0. After this I have the effect that at some unspecified time during use many of the functions stop working. Menu's do not open, download links do not work anymore and so on. Opening new tab's or windows still works. Links on pages partly work partly not. Copy and paste does not work anymore on webpages. It takes ending the firefox process and restarting to correct the issue until it happens again. I have those effects on totally different webpages. At this time it happens every time after I start Firefox but not right away. Firefox first works for some time and then it suddenly doesn't anymore without me having done anything special

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

I am running Mac OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite and iPhoto Version 9.6 (910.29). Automatic updates in the Mac App Store is turned on for my iMac and it shows no updates available. I was told directly by Apple Support on the date that I wrote this article (Nov 8, 2014) that there were no Canon drivers and photo transfer software that worked with Yosemite. I was told by Canon that the workaround was to change the communication method from Normal to PTP on the camera, which did provide a solution. At that time I was running Mac OS X 10.10 (because the 10.10.1 update was not yet available) and the most up-to-date version of iPhoto for Mac OS X 10.10 that was available at that time, at least per the Mac App Store. I was told by Canon that the workaround was to change the communication method from Normal to PTP on the camera, which did provide a solution.
With the Mac OS X 10.10.1 update if the camera is in PTP communications mode the thumbnails now appear in the Import screen in iPhoto almost immediately. If the camera is returned to Normal communications mode; however, it takes forever for the thumbnails to appear. I have been waiting 10 minutes and iPhoto has generated only 14 thumbnails. So it appears that there is still something not working properly between the original Canon EOS Digital Rebel and Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 when the communications mode on the camera is set to Normal.

Make sure that you not run Firefox in permanent [[Private Browsing]] mode.

* To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
