Links in converted DOC to PDF not working properly

I need to convert a word doc to PDF and retain the hyperlinks. The links all point to PDF documents in other folders. When I convert the word doc to PDF through word's 'save as' or PDF export, the links get update to web URL-like links that open the PDF document in a web browser. Is there a way to preserve the links so that they still open the PDFs in adobe and not a web browser?

Hey domallavena,
Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat are you using.
In order to open the PDF links in Acrobat only (not web browser), you will need  to change settings of link by choosing "Tools> Content Editing> Add or Edit Link" Now, right-click on that link and choose Properties from the context menu.
Then, select 'Open a file' option to choose the file that you want to open when clicking on that link.
Specify open preferences whether you wish to open the file in new window or existing one and save the PDF.
Try this way and let me know how it goes.
Regards,
Anubha

  • "Link to One of  My Pages" not working properly in iWeb '08

    This week I encountered a new problem doing something I've done successfully many times in the past.
    *_Here is the basic info:_*
    I created a site that had a main page and then four subsequent pages (5 in total). I created a text box (seen bellow) that listed each page.
    I then used the "Link to One of My Pages" option to link each word to the corresponding page.
    I then cut and past the text box on each page so that the links would be present on each page.
    Then in iWeb I checked all the links on each page to make certain they navigated properly to the correct page. Everything checked out fine all the links worked properly.
    Next I saved and exported to a folder to check the site before going live.
    *_Now here's my problem_*
    I launched safari and opened the site locally — I then discovered that only the first 2 of 5 links worked — the remaining three did not register as links.
    I launched FireFox same problem. went back to safari emptied the cache, did not help.
    Finally, I went back to iWeb and repeated the process several times. I've rechecked, and recreated the links and exported to a folded multiple times with no change — still only the first 2 of 5 links work.
    Has anyone encountered the same problem? I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or remedies
    Thanks you

    Well I discovered the the solution to my own post above — For those keeping a score card I'll just chalk this one up to operator error and not to iWeb troubles.
    The basic problem was that only two of five hyperlinks in a text box worked when my site was published.(please refer to my original post above for more details)
    *_here is the fix:_*
    I was working with the layout view hidden.
    When i turned "show layout" on, I discovered that the lower margin and footer were bisecting the text box containing the hyperlinks. (seen bellow) As a result, while visable when published, the top two links worked fine and the bottom three links didn't.
    When I adjusted the lower margin and footer to fit the text box and published the site everything worked properly.
    So I guess the lesson learned is to check the layout — Even though I had content that was outside of the page parameters it was still visible on the published site just not functional.
    I share this in the hope that my time and effort spent figuring this out might help someone else avoid the same frustration.

  • Embedded mms-links change to open file-links when converting .doc to pdf

    When converting word documents to pdf, all of my embedded video mms-links change to local open-file type links while my http-links keep their address. Why is this?
    Since I've got about 600 of them I'm not too keen on changing them all back in Acrobat.
    The links look like this in word:
    mms://something.com/videos/file.wmv
    But turns out like this after conversion:
    Z:\catalog\mms:\something.com\videos\file.wmv
    Notice the switch of slashes from / to \ after conversion.
    Anyone got a clue?
    Thanks!

    Hi!
    My versions are:
    Word 2007 and/or Word 2003 and Adobe 9.1.0.163
    I think I solved it using this add-in:
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=4d951911-3e7e-4ae6 -b059-a2e79ed87041
    and saving the .doc-files as .docx-files in word 2007 before saving them as .pdf, using the add-in.
    Thanks anyway!

  • Link to Flash application from PDF not working on a Mac

    I'm creating a PDF using Acrobat.  I have 2 links that should open up a separate Flash application.  When I try clicking on them in Adobe Reader on a Mac, I get an error message saying "could not find an application to open the file 'xxxxx'.  I can navigate to the file directly in a finder window, and the Flash application opens up just fine.  I also created a PC version of this same PDF that points to Flash executables, and those links work fine as well.  Any ideas any one?  Thanks in advance!

    Under the "Library Log" where is says Flash Player Intall Manager: Unable to execute privilage task.
    What does that mean?

  • Itunes "convert higher bitrate songs" not working properly

    hello,
    i recently used the option "convert higher bitrate songs to 128kbps aac" to save storage space on my iphone. it worked like a charm and i saved several gigabytes.
    HOWEVER, as soon as i sync my iphone again, it starts to reencode approx. 60 tracks again! it takes a while of course and after that, the tracks are converted and on my iphone (i checked it). if i sync again it will reencode again the very same tracks (and delete them before from my iphone). this is really annoying because it costs time and cpu usage.
    i didnt changed those files, i checked the date when they were changed, and they werent changend at all this month!
    does anyone have an idea? i really like this option, but if it means that i have to convert 60tracks everytime i sync my iphone, i will have to disable it...
    regards

    I am seeing this artwork bug too, on my nano. It seems to be tied to the 128 kbps songs, but I can't pinpoint exactly what makes it happens.
    All I know is, now that I'm using the 128 conversion, I have to reset my nano at least once per day to get artwork back. It also seems to be tied to coming out of pause or hold. After I've paused music and come back later, the artwork shows a white box. But not all the time, so I wonder if it's only when I pause a song that has lyrics.

  • Publisher to PDF not working properly

    I’ve created a multi-page document in Microsoft Publisher using imported .jpg’s and .png’s (.png files are text with no backround created in photoshop…most of the text has shadowing behind it to make it visible when it’s overlayed on the backround images
    I’ve put down). When this project is saved as PDF the quality of the .png are severly compromised (look jagged) and the shading/text effects do not reflect what they should. I also have publisher-added shapes behind text in a washed-out white that appears
    checkered on the pdf. Please help!!

    Hi,
    Maybe the file was not saved by using optimized output options, please refer to this kb below, Use the Save as PDF Option within Publisher:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2661393/en-us
    The kb is for Publisher 2010, it can also provide you with some hints if you are using another version.

  • Adobe PDF not working in N95

    in my nokia N95 i m not able to open pdf files last 20 days i think adobe PDF not working properly i want to repair it but how i donn know? can anybody help me to get rid of this prob

    I do not think that PDF Maker has been updated for IE9 yet. IE9 is a recent release and Adobe does not generally work on the final software until the release. They also have to be sure it still works with other products. In the meantime, try just printing to the Adobe PDF printer or opening the URL in Acrobat directly.

  • Hyperlinks not working properly in PDF, converted by Nuance PDF converter

    I have encountered a problem with the pdf files which were converted by the Nuance PDF converter(v8.1).
    When reviewing a pdf file in Adobe Reader X(v10.1.0) the hyperlinks are not working properly in the "fit to window width and enable scrolling" mode.
    The second one, "fit one full page to window", is working without problems. In this mode all links can be used.
    Attached is a screenshot about the two modes in Adobe Reader X.
    This issue is just happening, if the file is converted by Nuance PDF converter.
    Well, Nuance support was not helpful at all.
    Regards

    just the "alias hyperlinks"(don't know the specific name) are not working.
    if I write down www.hp.com it's just fine.
    i've uploaded documents..
    one is created with nuance pdf converter and the other with MS Office Word "save as pdf" function.
    http://www.filedropper.com/linktestdocumentnuanceconverted
    http://www.filedropper.com/linktestdocumentofficesafeas
    so it seems like that nuance is not supporting "alias hyperlinks"..

  • Error in converting *.doc to *.pdf

    Running winXP home sp2, adobe pro 7.1.0
    This problem has started suddenly.
    When converting *.doc to *.pdf a window titled AcroDist.exe-Application Error comes up:
    "0x00441ae2" referenced memory at "0x0218ebbc". The memory could not be "read".
    Acrobat stops and can only be stopped from the Task Manager. Try to print something in *.pdf -- same thing happens.
    Anyone, any suggestions? I would be thankful.
    joeZy

    Gloria Mc,
    This occurs with all .doc, Excel, .rtf, .txt (even when trying to print .pdf from a txt software like notepad. It does not occur with picture format files like .jpg or .tiff. I also can combine .pdf files.
    As far as JR's question, if I generate a .prn file and drop it in AcroDist (Distiller), it tries to open Distiller and the same error message comes up.
    All other functions of AA7 seem to work, only when trying to convert document files to .pdf is there a problem.
    If I try to bring up Distiller by itself (no file), the same error occurs.
    I'm still willing to try any suggestions. Thanks for your interest.

  • Is it possible to convert .doc to pdf  ?

    Hi..
    I am very new to Livecycle Workflow...! I just want to know whether it is possible to convert .doc to pdf  ?
    Just by googling i came to know that CreatePDF2 Service will do this Conversion ! But it throws me an Exception like "Conversion Exception :" Cannot connect to Adobe Service "...!
    Can u guys pls help me out to slove the problem ?
    Thanks & Regards
    Karthik.

    you don't know the format of a word doc? well, that's good for you because it's a nightmare.
    - check POI (http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/index.html) to see if you can load-up the .doc then generate the .pdf with iText
    - personally i use the Open Office Bean to open the .doc, i save it in .sxw (OO format which is a jar of different XML files), then i use XSLT to transform content.xml in .fo then use FOP to build the PDF. sounds crazy but works fine (only on a machine with graphic support - not via Telnet, etc...)

  • Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Reader X Pro (Editable PDF Combobox Search is not working properly.)

    I have created Editable PDF using itext(5.3.0) in java. I have used Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Reader X Pro.  But in editable PDF combobox search is  not working properly.
    It's only search first character.

    My (admittedly old and slow) system did this too the first time I opened Reader 11, but it "unfroze" after about fifteen seconds, (an eternity in computing time, I know, but it did eventually open all the way) What you're seeing on the right is the "Tools" panel initializing. That's exactly where mine would freeze up on starting. Once it did finally open fully, I clicked the "Tools" link at the top to close the panel, and I opened and viewed a document that way, then closed reader. Now when I open Reader, the Tools panel doesn't initialize and it opens immediately.
    Reboot and before you open anything else, open Reader. When you open it, DO NOT try to do anything with it until it fully opens, don't click anything, don't try to switch to another app. Give it time to open fully, and then click the Tools link to close it. Then, open and view a document, and close it. Close Reader and reopen it. the Tools panel should remain closed and Reader should open fully immediately.

  • CS4 "Save as Adobe PDF" not working in Mountain Lion

    CS4 Save as Adobe PDF not working in Mountain Lion
    Just bought a new Mac with mountain lion, installed CS4 design premium twice trying to fix this. When you go to "print" then "Save as Adobe PDF" the process fails with a pop-up saying "An error occurred while saving the PDF file". I can still do the standard "Save as PDF" - but that usually results in a file size 10x larger than Save as Adobe PDF so it won't work for me; I need the small file sizes of Save as Adobe PDF.
    When I go to Help > Repair Acrobat Installation it seems to be recognizing a repair needed with Adobe PDF Printer (see screenshot below); but when I go through the repair nothing changes it still won't work.
    Any help is much appreciated!

    "Save As Adobe PDF" works fine in Snow Leopard.
    Thanks for the link, but this is no help - I already have "Save As Adobe PDF" on the menu - the problem is when I click that it errors out...
    I just think its sad that Adobe charges people $2000 and provides zero support for future updates; when I buy an iMac for half that amount of money or an iPhone I get operating system support and bug fix downloads to deal with the latest internet advances for years to come - but Adobe apparently takes your money and says sayonara! Is it really that hard to provide updates on $2000 worth of software for say 24 months??
