Links in each page of a large document

I have a 350+ pages PDF document and would like to add a link to the TOC in each page. Obviously not one by one because this would take a lot of work/time.
I thought to use a general header or footer with the linked text. But I don't know how to put linked text in a header/footer. Can this be done?
Is there any other way you know to easily add a link to all pages of a large document?

Another way is to put your link in a button: buttons can be duplicated to all (or a range) of pages. If you don't like a button that 'looks like a button' just use 'no border, no fill', or even an icon to customise it.

Can I add Action button on each page of my pdf document

I have created many power point slides with an action button on each slide that allows the user to click to display a video clip.   I would like to create a pdf document of this and replace each of my action button in ppt with an action button that works in Acrobat.
I noticed that action buttons can be added to forms, but I want to be able to add an Action Button on each of my ppt slides to start playing a video clip (each slide will have a different video).
I would like to do this using any coding method (i.e. Javascript, VBA, C , etc).   I think acrobat uses Javascript.
The reason, is that I want to display my power point slides on an IPad and they don't support hyperlink in power point.   I believe IPad does suppport the full acrobat capabilities.
Can this be done ??
Any suggestions where to start ??
Thank You,
G

NO problem creating the buttons and then playing this back in Acrobat. Works great.
However, unfortunately, none of the PDF viewers for the iPad support playing movies.   So playing it there won't work :(.

Is it possible to give each page within one pdf document a specific set of print settings?

I have a complex document (catalogue) that requires printing. There are several different printer settings required and each one is specific to each page within the document. For instance pg 1 is single sided in colour, page 2-3 is duplexed in b&w, page 3-8 is duplexed in colour, etc.... Is it possible to give each page within the pdf document a given set of print settings and then print the entire document as a whole?

Hi jennyskop
I assume that is not feasible ...You need to give the print command again and select the respective pages and their settings !

How do I extract each page from a long document and email to separate adresses?

So here's my current situation. I have about a 200 page long PDF document. Each page has an individual customer number on it. Currently, I print out the 200 pg doc and email each one separately to the corresponding customer in numerical order.
First of all, is there a way that I can extract the 200 pg document into 200 individual documents with one page each? Second, is there an efficient way to mass email the 200 customers with their corresponding document only, without seeing the other 199 documents?

Splitting document - Acrobat Pro.
An experienced programmer could write JavaScript to pick up the customer numbers and do something with it, but it's not for the faint hearted.

Is it possible to link text from Pages into an InDesign document [as you can with Google docs]?

In InDesign, you can get a plug-in [word flow] which allows you to link the text in a Google Docs document into an InDesign document, so that you can edit the text in Google Docs [on your computer/tablet etc] and it will update in the InDesign document. Additionally, if you edit the text in teh InDesign docuemnt, the Google Docs file is also updated.
Is there a plug-in for Pages? Or a way to do this [without ditching Pages and starting to use Google Docs]?
Thanks

There are no plugins for Pages for iOS. Period.

How do I insert a single page pdf into a much larger 1,000 page pdf so that it is inserted on every other page of the large document?

I essentially have one large pdf document (1,050 total pages) that consists of 525 individual 2-page letters. I have a second pdf document that is just 1 page, but needs to be inserted 525 times so that it is incorporated into each of the 525 individual 2-page letters, making them all 3 pages now.

You may need to either use JavaScript or an Acrobat Action or a combination of both items.

Can I add an internal link in a Pages 5.5.2 Document

In previous versions of Pages I could add a link from a word in my document to, say, a topic in a different place in the document. Either I've forgotten how to do it or the ability has gone away. Can someone help?

Thank you for the (sad) information. When I try to open my document that I had already updated in v5 with v4.3 it says it can't be opened because the required index.xml file is missing. Any idea how to get around that?

How to add buttons with links to different pages in my flash document?

Hi I created a template for my flash animation which is a simple content box and a scroll bar beside it.. Anyway at the top I also have 3 pages (they are currently just part of the png background image so they are not buttons of any sort).. My question is how can I make links to these different pages so when clicked in the flash animation they will just open normally like they would in like a website..
I am a flash beginner so I'm not too technical with it... I don't know if I would have to create 3 seperate documents for my 3 pages or something else?
Thanks!

Do you expect the loaded SWF to load "into" the SWF that contains the buttons or are you expecting it to overwrite the existing SWF you're already in (similar to a web page)?
Loading a SWF inside is pretty straight forward, as long as the SWF is on the same domain or the domain you're loading from has a crossdomain.xml policy allowing it and the SWF is set to publish with the networking sandbox:
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
// listen for completion
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleCompleteF);
// usually add some IOErrorEvent or SecurityErrorEvent handlers here
// button hook here
myButtonInstanceName.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadPageF);
function loadPageF(e:MouseEvent):void
     // try to load
     try
          myLoader.load(new URLRequest('another.swf'));
     catch (e:*)
          // catch any error, trace it to flash IDE for debugging
          trace("Error loading SWF: " + e);
function handleCompleteF(e:Event):void
     // success, add to display list
     addChild(myLoader);
Season to taste, like moving the position of the Loader object. The Loader will contain the SWF in the .content property (e.g. myLoader.content) and is a display object so you can just add it directly to the display list.
If you add a second button you can re-use the myLoader to .load() a different SWF, just point it to a new function. You could re-use the same function but you'd need to detect the different buttons (possibly via the .name property). I presume you might want to do "different things" when different pages are loaded so I'm assuming you'd probably use a different function rather than make a huge reused branching function.

FIREFOX 26 changed the 'post crash' page with the list of windows and pages. It was a real HTML page with links for each page. Now it isn't (and blows)

* You changed the page that comes up after a crash - the one which shows the windows and pages that were up before the
crash.
This used to be a real HTML page and it isn't any more. THis choice was pure isiocy consider how peopel used that page every day (try taking to your users for a change).
The pages listed on that 'post crash page' used to be actual LINKS (you could right click them &
manually open them in another tab - and most peope DID that every day). You could also (and I did this a lot) drag a second
copy of the page, into a new tab (to keep track of all the pages I had not wanted to open)
Now the pages are no longer links. You cannot right-click them.
The thing in the probser is no longer a page that I can drag into a new tab.
Roll the version back and throw this one in the bin...and have a good long talk with your developers about the definition of
'STUPIDITIY'
Then I try to type anything in the addres bar it is suppose to repoond with the history of old things I have types in the past, or
search for what I type (and in some cases I think it tyes to convert it intoa URL). However it no longer does any of these
things. When I type in the ADDRESS BAR ONLY, I do not get all of my letters to appear. I have to type into a notepad or
into the search and to copy and paste to go to a URL. Nothing that is typed into the address bad responds normally at all
anymore, and I am fairly certain there are no new addons on this machine at all. It does not matter which things I disable. It
still does this. W of course points the finger back at a change to FIREFOX. I wich I could just sitct with one stable release
forever but the MOZILLA folk thing it is best to force peopel awy from a working broswer release to a horrible one (due to it
being out of date).
FIREFOX 26.0 has 'issues' (ie new *features*/bugs)
1) History is no longer accurate. My Proof? This machine is the primary one for the entire family (the only PC working). It is
logged in with same user every time and never has its history cleared. It now January 7 so I ought to have a list of all of last
months browing available to me.
However, according to FIREFOX history, in all of December 2013, the entire family only went to 51 primary URL's. None of
the official TV sites I use to get episodes are listed. None of the official movie sites I use are listed. The primary URL for
ebay is not listed. Only 1 out of our 4 weather sites that I use (at least once a week) are listed. Only 1 of our 3 FINANCE
sites is listed. There ought to be several; hundred root URLs listed.
Please fix history as this change seriously "blows greasy chunks"
PROBLEM (a stupid change in the new FIREFOX version)
FOr a long time, after a crash you got a useful page (a real HTML page) which gave you a list of all of your last sessions
'winwos and tabs' that were open when the browser crashed. there were certain ways of using this page that are no longer
able to be done.
The old method was wonderful as it had this behavior :
*** The old method for displaying your 'Recovered Tabs' allowed you to :
a) right click an individual item and open it in a tab without getting rid of that lovely window of your previous session of
'recovered windows and tabs '.
2) drag the URL for the entire window of 'recovered windows and tabs ' to a new tab (to make a second copy) so that you
could select just a few of them to open as a group, and stil have the old list handy.
You can no longer do either of these things. The 'recovered windows and tabs ' page no longer has links in it and can no longer be dragged, so you cant select a few of them to use, and keep the rest around for later. NOW - once you choose which pages to open the window is gone forever (can can't get a second copy).
People used to make a copy of the page for later use (with a drag)
we also used to open pages with a right click (which no longer functions
This new method seriously blows big greasy chunks. A parge loss in function has occurred.
Put things back as they were. 26 is full of terrible changes that NOBODY likes. It also has a lot of bugs (history is not reliable at all)

(1) Firefox's built-in post-crash page has not been a real HTML page for a long time (for example, from the time of Firefox 22, see: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/968212 Want to save LOTS of versions of "Restore Session.xht" from the "oops ..." page for later use]). If you had this working differently with Firefox 25, that might have been created by an extension.
You can check to see whether extensions are disabled or need an update on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. The disabled extensions cluster toward the bottom of the list. To poll for updates, use the "gear" button above the list and choose Check for Updates.
If you used the Reset feature (or Firefox automatically did a reset due to some problem during upgrading), you will need to reinstall missing extensions. The reset feature creates a folder on the desktop named Old Firefox Data. Do you have that folder? There may be data you can recover from it.
(2) There are many ways for history to get cleared, both internal to Firefox and external. Could you double-check your Privacy settings?
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Privacy
* The "Firefox will" drop-down says Remember History: Firefox shouldn't be clearing history, but an add-on or external software could do it
* The "Firefox will" drop-down says Use custom settings for history: inspect the "Clear history when Firefox closes" setting to make Firefox isn't set to clear history. Also check your add-ons and consider external software.
Firefox normally accumulates months of history. However, some of Firefox's database sizes are based on disk space available. If your hard drive is very full, Firefox might reduce the amount of history stored.

Is there a way to create a file upload page for uploading large documents to a ftp site in Muse?

I am building a site for a printing company and wanted to know if there was a way to build in a ftp file upload page or button?

No that is not possible with Muse alone. YOu can host it on Business Catalyst and upgrade the hosting plan to at least the webMarketing plan for general uploading. If it requires each user to have their own profile etc, then you will need to use BC webApps

Go back to previous location after linking to another page in the same document

I have set up links in a pdf file and would like to have the form go to the page view attached to the link and then return to the location that initiated the link. I usually use bookmarks to move around pdf forms, but the user didn't want to see the bookmarks and wanted the look of html. Please let me know how I can link to a location and then go back where I came from.
Thanks for the help!

Yes. Use a JavaScript action with this code:
app.goBack();

How can you move to a specific page in a large document

Trying to move to specific page within a 90-page document on I-Pad, other than scrolling--Is there a way to "go to" page # whatever?

Okay,
I just loaded up Dropbox to check it out. When you are looking at your PDF in the Dropbox window, you can click the Action button in the upper right, (the box with the curved right arrow), and that gives you the option to Open In... iBooks. If you don't have iBooks yet, you can download it free from the App Store.
One it's in iBooks, you can search and go to pages with it. iBooks allows you to create "Collections" (folders), where you can sort your documents (books). Try it out.

When converting word to pdf, why does it pdf each page?

I have a 3 page word document. When I convert it to pdf, it converts each page & not the whole document. Why does it do that & how can i convert all 3 pages to pdf?

Empty the TEMP folder or print to the Adobe PDF printer. The latter might be worth trying to be sure things are working.
You may have to uncheck a lot of the options in the PDF Maker preferences, particularly tags. Keep in mind that large graphics require a lot of disk space in the translation as the PS format is not very memory efficient for graphics (at least from what I have seen). You might also make a copy of the DOC file and then select a graphic and choose format. In the lower left corner of the general tab is a compress button. Try that to reduce the graphics resolution and see if that solves the problem.

Linking to a page with a URL hyperlink

Is it possible to create a hyperlink that links to another page in the same document using the "Link To: URL" option in the New Hyperlink window?
Normally I'd just use the "Link to: Page" option but I want to upload a bunch of documents to Issuu and the only interactive object that seems to survive the conversion process is a URL hyperlink. I've also tried creating a button with a "Go To Destination" action attached but it isn't recognised by Issuu either.
I can add buttons in Issuu after I've uploaded the documents but I was hoping there would be a way to do it in InDesign that works for both normal PDFs and uploaded Issuu files.
I hope this makes sense. Let me know if it needs clarification.
InDesign version: CS6 - 8.0.1
OS: Win 7 SP1

Issuu is an online digital publishing platform. Here's an example (not mine!). You upload PDF files to the Issuu website and they are converted to a proprietary format for viewing.
The problem I'm having is that these converted files support URL hyperlinks but not any other kind of interactivity. I was hoping I would be able to use URL hyperlinks to other pages within the document if this was even possible.
I'm trying to get some assistance from the Issuu help staff but I'm not really getting anywhere. Hence the post!

Save each page as PDF naming mod

I had an issue I needed help with a while back, now I need to mod the script.
Here's the original post
Peter Kahrel, ""Save each page as PDF" naming mod?" #1, 16 Jan 2008 8:00 am
I have a 456 page document that was made from a data merge. It has a background image, a foreground image and a job number/description.
I need to save each page out as a jpg and name the file with the contents of the "jobnumber" text box. Previously Peter Kahrel helped me out tremendously with a little function that looked at the job number (which was always PNXX-xxxx) and swapped it out with the real job number.
Now the contents of the jobnumber field isn't structured, i.e., "AvocadoSwirl_V", or "BurntSienna_G".
Is there a way to set a script label for the "jobnumber" text box and just name the output file whatever is in there?
Here is the existing script:
var destinationFolder = Folder.selectDialog ("Choose a Folder");
var myPDFExportPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.item("WebVidOverlay");
doc = app.activeDocument;
doc.sections.everyItem().includeSectionPrefix = false;
app.findTextPreferences = null;
app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = 'pnxx^9^9^9^9';
found = doc.findText();
for (i = 0; i < found.length; i++ )
f = File (destinationFolder + "/" + found[i].contents + '.pdf');
app.pdfExportPreferences.pageRange = found[i].parentTextFrames[0].parent.name;
doc.exportFile (ExportFormat.pdfType, f, false, myPDFExportPreset);
As always, Thanks a million,
Randy

>Does that sound do-able?
Most things are doable, provided that your information is precise: first you say that pages may or may not have a text frame labelled "jobnumber" and that that frame may or may not have text in it (your post can be read like that anyway). Now you say that every page has a text frame labelled "jobnumber" and that that frame can be filled with either of three text strings. Or maybe all three strings? You say
>then I should be able save each file with the names "Avocado.jpg", "Burnt Sienna.jpg" and "pnga-0431.jpg" respectively.
Or do you mean "save each file with the names "Avocado.jpg", "Burnt Sienna.jpg" _OR_ "pnga-0431.jpg" respectively."? The way you phrased it, it looks as if you want to save three files from a page. But your example shows that you meant "or", not "and".
But anyway, the last two lines of your example appear to make clear what you want. The attached script exports each page of the active document to JPG, using the contents of the text frame labelled "jobnumber" on that page. The script assumes that each page has such a text frame and that there is something in it, and that whatever is in it provides a legal file name. It doesn't do any error checking/catching at all.
