Links in PDF from View Mode Not Working

Ok, bear with me as I'm not totally familiar with Robohelp.
I have a PDF file, lets call it (PDF1). Inside PDF1 is a flowchart with a link to another PDF (PDF2) file.
When I open PDF1 outside of RoboHelp, the link to PDF2 works.
When I open PDF1 from the view mode (sunglasses), the link to PDF2 doesn't work. It doesn't do anything at all. I click on the link and nothing happens.
I have ensured that the link within PDF1 is correct and pointing to the right file, and like I said, it works when viewed external of Robohelp.
Does anyone know how to fix this or what the problem could be?
Thanks,
Dan

Welcome to our community
I'm not sure I fully comprehend the issue. You are previewing. This will impose some limitations and really is only there to approximate the end user experience.
You say that if you open things outside of RoboHelp the links work fine. And this is really how the end user will be using things, no? So if it works fine in this mode I'm not understanding why there is an issue.
Out of curiosity, why PDF? You are hopefully aware that one might supply PDF only for the purposes of printing, right? Otherwise, if your end user will be expecting to click links or whatever, you should be outputting a help format. (CHM, WebHelp, FlashHelp, AIR Help, etc)

70D Live View Mode Not Working

All of a sudden Live View Mode doesn't work on my 70D. Setting is enabled. Pictures show on my screen for a few seconds after it's taken, but screen is black while taking pictures even when shutter release button pressed down half way. Any ideas on why this might be happening?

Is exposure stimulation turn on/off? does the photo taken look dark? You can try to reset it to factory default.

Why does Create PDF from Web Page not work with certain URLs?

I'm creating a large number of PDFs from Web Pages on Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and occasionally come across certain URLs that fail to generate a web page. The process begins as normal but eventually the status window lists a few errors or canceled processes and that there are now 0 Connections Active. This only occurs for certain URLs, but when it happens it consistently fails for that URL (as in trying it a few mroe times doesn't let it work). Is there any specific reason this happens or a way I can prevent it? The above example is of a URL that fails to generate a PDF :
http://www.pcmag.com/encyclopedia_term/0,1237,t=access+point&i=37393,00.asp

I tested this in Acrobat X and the exact same issue occurs

This has to be considered a legatimate bug, especially since IMAGE MAPS is listes as one of the supported HTML features via the help files

Linked pdfs from chm do not work in windows 8/explorer 11

I get the x broken link in top right corner... I tried all the solutions from changing reader settings to IE settings... no luck. the chm links works fine when opened on windows 7 and the pdfs open in multi screen and epub output. This is definitely a Windows 8/IE/Adobe Reader issue and it needs to be solved very soon or I may not have a job...

I get your point about CHM and falling sort of "behind the times". I've been a huge CHM fan for seemingly eons. I've loved the ability to package things into a single file and have it ship and the fact there is no external application needed in order for folks to use it on Windows systems.
But here's something that may surprise you.
It's been about a year ago, but I had a conversation with a high ranking Adobe person that advised that Adobe had performed a study and CHM was still among one of the most widely used output types. So that reason alone would seem to mandate that CHM output remain a viable option for the time being.
I do agree that manufacturers such as Adobe have the onus on them to ensure that things such as the PDF reader work as well as they are able. And I do believe they do. But I also realize that in some cases there is little to nothing they can really do. For example, how a CHM file handles something like PDF is totally up to Microsoft to control. And Microsoft hasn't updated the CHM reader in a very long while. Microsoft actually seems disinterested in providing any standard for help systems. I'm also aware that for CHM files, there is a lot of interaction between the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser and the HTML Help viewer. So any changes to the browser *CAN* (and frequently do) break functionality. Now toss in the fact that the PDF viewer also interacts with the browser and you get a very interesting concoction.
Don't even get me started on end user expectations... I click and it doesn't work. I want to click and the coffeemaker turn on, the lights to dim and music to play! LOL

Join AirPort Express to D-Link DGL4300 router in client mode not working

I only want to be able to stream iTunes to my AirPort Express via my existing network which is controlled by my D-Link DGL-4300 router.
My AirPort Express works as an iTunes streamer because I tested it running its own network (ignoring the existing D-Link network). I am trying to connect in client mode (I think), but my D-Link router just can't see the AirPort Express which seems to disappear off the radar after it restarts with the new settings.
This is what happens...
1. AirPort Express Hard Reset
2. Connect to Airport Express wireless network (which disconnects me from my D-Link DGL4300 wireless network “K1000578”)
3. Run AirPort Utility and enter “Assist Me” mode.
4. Set AirPort Express name and password then click continue.
5. Select “I have a wireless network and want to add AirPort Express or replace an existing device on my network” then click continue.
6. Select “I want AirPort Express to join my current network”
7. Select the name of my D-Link DGL4300 network “K1000578” from the drop down box, select WPA/WPA2 Personal wireless security type and enter the DGL4300 password, then click continue.
8. Click Update in the summary screen.
What happens then is...
MESSAGE BOX “Apple wireless device restarting. Please wait...”
MESSAGE BOX “Connecting to network ‘K1000578’. Please wait...”
AirPort Utility returns with a message advising that although the device was successfully updated, AirPort utility was unable to find it after restarting. It also suggests that I made need to reselect my network for the AirPort menu and try again.
My computer is now unable to even see the AirPort express device.
When I try to reconnect to my existing DGL4300 network “K1000578”, it says that the settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network. !! ***!!
I can fix the last part above by deleting the connection information for my DGL4300 and searching for it again. BUT HOW ON EARTH DO I CONNECT MY AIRPORT EXPRESS TO MY NETWORK?!!
I am able to connect my PC directly to the AirPort Express (if I set it up as its own network) and successfully stream iTunes, but this means I have to disconnect from my DGL4300 network also which means I won’t get internet on that machine and I can’t use my iPhone Remote App.
This is my second experience with Apples “it just works” philosophy. MobileMe was my first. Guess how I’m feeling!
Any help at all is kindly appreciated.

I forgot to mention, I have turned off the MAC address filters on my router, so that's not the cause.

Export to PDF from VC does not work

Help viewer does not work after update to 10.4.4

Since updating to 10.4.4 my Help viewer does not work, and all of the troubleshooting fixes suggested in other threads have not had any success in resolving this. I've noted that when I go to Users>Library>Documentation>Help there is no mac.help file - can someone tell me if that means that I've lost the file altogether and need to reinstall it? I get to the first screen of the viewer, but the links from there don't work. Thanks for any help that you can provide!

Thanks for your suggestion. I downloaded OnyX and ran the cleaning function. After restarting, I opened Help and once again the first screen appeared fine. But again most of the links did not work, though those under the "What's New" heading did work. I might add that I had previously tried a variety of suggestions posted in another thread, which included deleting from the caches folder in Home>Library several files such as com.apple.helpui and help.plist in the Preferences folder. (As noted in my previous post this evening, I also created another user but that also did not have any effect.) Any other ideas? Thanks

Creating pdf from clipboard does not import images or formatting

Creating PDF from clipboard works perfect in acrobat X however in acrobat XI no images are imported and the text just defaults to times roman font. My wife uses acrobat for her craft patterns and copies from the web all the time with no issues in Acrobat X. She tried it on Acrobat XI and it just looks like garbage. The text is there but the images that were copied along with the text are not. I have examples that she did using the exact same clipboard in both X and XI.

Bill@VT wrote:
I guess I must not understand how you are transferring the items to the clipboard. Is the browser the same one you used with AA X?
Yes, I used the same browser (Chrome) with AA X and AA XI.
Bill@VT wrote:
When I did it with AA XI, I used the mouse (on a PC) to select the text and figures in my browser and copied that info to the clipboard (ctrl-C on the PC and I assume similar on the MAC).
Yes, the procedure for copying info to the clipboard is similar for a Mac and a PC. I select the info (in this case, text and graphics) with the mouse, and can copy it to the clipboard with either Command-C (Mac equivalent of ctrl-C), or by right-clicking on the highlighted info and choosing "copy" from the pop-up window. I do not have to use Print Screen in conjunction with this procedure. If I use Print Screen, it copies everything that my monitor displays and the results of a paste are an image.
Is there something I am missing about getting the web page parts wanted to the clipboard? If you clip the items into a graphics packages, does the graphics show up as desired?
No, you are not missing anything. All of the web page parts are in the clipboard. The problem is that only the text is showing up when I use the create PDF from clipboard option in AA XI. I do not have a graphics package installed; however, if I paste the clipboard contents into Word, both the text and graphics show up.
I checked the PDF created with my AA XI and found the text as text and the the graphic as graphic, not simply a graphic as you suggested. Is it possible the graphic is shown with a place holder or just space for the graphic. If that is the case, check the preferences that you have "view large images" turned on.
As I explained ad nauseum, the PDF I try to create with AA XI using create PDF from clipboard does not include the graphics; it only has the text. I just checked the preferences and "view large images" is turned on. I could not find any other preference settings that would seem to help with the problem I am having.
I can paste the clipboard contents directly into Word and print the document to a PDF. When I do that, though, I usually have to spend a lot of time editing the Word document, because the contents are not in the same format. The paragraphs are usually squashed together, or the photos are too large and I have to change the size. This just takes up more time than I have to spend.
The bottom line is that it seems to me Adobe must have changed something in the Mac version of AA XI that causes it to not work the same way it does in AA X. The PC version is obviously okay, because you are able to get the feature to work.
I guess I am going to have to give up on this problem and stick with using AA X.
Thanks again for all your help.

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.

PDF from HTMLLoader is Not Displaying in a Container

PDF from HTMLLoader is Not Displaying in a Container
Was there a new version of AIR released recently that breaks the display of a PDF through the HTMLLoader?
I've been experiencing problems displaying a PDF in a container lately.
AIR applications that worked a couple weeks ago, are not working now even though no changes have been made to the source.
To focus on the problem, I created an application that narrows my focus to the broken feature. It's sole purpose is to display a simple PDF through AIR.
The example can be found here.
http://www.appfoundation.com/blogs/giametta/2009/04/14/render-pdf-in-adobe-air-with-pdf-sc aling/
The code used is exactly the same as the one found in the above example, except I swapped the url of the PDF to the following.
http://www.sfbike.org/download/map.pdf
It's pretty straightforward.
But, when I compile and press the "do it" button, nothing displays in the VBOX.
Using an HTTP Sniffer the "GET" to my url seems to be working fine and, I get a "200 OK" return status, but nothing is displayed in the container.
Here is my configuration.
- Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit
- AIR 1.5
- Flex 3.0.2
- Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro
- Firefox 3.5.4
Attached is the source code mxml as a txt.

Well, like I said, I don't either. Even when loading a very simple PDF, I just see this crash:

Maybe someone on the AIR team will have a more knowledgable response, it looks like a problem with how Webkit is loading up the PDF viewer perhaps.

IBM cognos TM1 Executive viewer is not working on direct Access

Hi,
We are implementing DirectAccess in our environment and testing applications in test lab. It has been observed that executive viewer is not working on Direct Access but working fine over VPN mobile checkpoint. When DA client click on open view button it
gives error
" Additional information:
Unable to connect to server XYZ.com using TCP-IP port 7112. Please make sure that IBM cognos TM1 executive viewer server is started and the port is not blocked by any proxy server or firewall"
but from client telnet is working on port 7112. All ports between DA server and application server are open 3389,7112 and 80.
Also select database option is grayed out and user is unable to select the database. When switching to VPN its working fine.
We are using Executive viewer 9.4.
Any help would be appreciated.

It sounds like this program may not be capable of talking over IPv6, which DirectAccess uses. First make sure that when you connect it is trying to talk to a hostname and not an IPv4 address. If your program is calling for "192.168.1.100" - this is never
going to work over DirectAccess. It must call for a name that DirectAccess can resolve to an IPv6 address for communication over DA.
If you confirm it is talking to a name, and then if you confirm that you can do other things to that same name (can you RDP into the server for example?), then that confirms that DirectAccess traffic flow is working to that name/server.
If RDP works but the application still doesn't work, then the application is probably incapable of IPv6. You can either ask IBM if they have a newer version that does talk IPv6, otherwise I have a utility available that can intercept packets from these kinds
of problematic applications and flip the packets into IPv6 on the DA client. Let me know if you need any further information on that: http://www.ivonetworks.com/news/2013/05/ivo-networks-announces-app46-for-directaccess/

System wide PDF presets location is not working in CC

On both Mac and PC, the system wide location for PDF settings (.joboptions) does not work anymore.
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings (on a Mac)
It is illogical to remove this feature. Even if that folder does not store the main default presets, which are now stored in each application, it still needs to be looked at and loaded from. It's actually illogical to store the same preset in multiple locations (i.e. each application). If there is a preset that is only for a certain application (e.g. Illustrator Default), this could be put in the application folder, but all others like High Quality, Prepress, PDF/X should be in a central location, i.e. where they used to be.
I know that each user can manually load into their own PDF presets, which then do appear in all suite apps, but this has to be done every time a new user logs into a computer.
The central location meant that all suite apps would see a custom set of presets automatically across the entire suite and across multiple versions of the suite. The other advantage to the central location is that the presets would appear in square brackets, in other words read only, so they cannot be changed by the user without saving as a new file.
Having users manually load and be able to change the presets kind of defeats the purpose of having a preset, certainly in our environment, where we need these settings to be consistent across all apps, all computers and all users.
Please put this feature back or at least honour the central location that used to be used.

Hi,
As per the description, I understand that your Office 2013 cannot open files through a network share directly.
I would like to know that how many clients/users are affected by this in your environment. It could be some specific user account settings, that the Office applications are being affected by.
I'd first suggest you try with a new Windows user profile, then verify result.

Get-MailboxSentItemsConfiguration Set-MailboxSentItemsConfiguration From Only (still) not working

Hello,
I would like to ask a question, hopeing it is resolved in some way and i missed it.
I have installed SP3 Rollup 4 on our Exchange 2010 server.
This added 2 new Powershell commands
Get-MailboxSentItemsConfiguration
Set-MailboxSentItemsConfiguration
This can be used to manipulate where mail is stored in the send items.
Sender - e-mails sent using SendAs or Send-on-Behalf-of permissions are saved only in the Sent Items folder of the Sender (UserA);
SenderAndFrom – e-mails sent using SendAs or Send-on-Behalf-of permissions are saved in the Sent Items folder of the Sender and the mailbox on which the permissions are assigned (in our example, both UserA and UserB);
From – e-mails sent using SendAs or Send-on-Behalf-of permissions are saved in the Sent Items folder of only the mailbox on which the permissions are assigned (in our example, UserB)
What we really want it to use the From only way.
We use a shared team mailbox and use that as primary, as a second mailbox users get a trusted non shared mailbox. Mail sent from the trusted mailbox should only be in the send items from the actual sender, not both.
2 sites report that the From field is reserved for Future Use, or bugged and does not work is intened.
Here is is stated on 1 July 2013
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj884078(v=exchg.141).aspx
From Reserved for future use. To save the messages sent as this mailbox in the Sent Items folder of this mailbox, use SenderAndFrom value.
That was on 26 March 2013
http://www.msexchange.org/kbase/ExchangeServerTips/ExchangeServer2010/OutlookOWA/sent-items-behavior-shared-mailboxes-update.html
NOTE 1: the From value does not work as expected... It basically performs the same action as the SenderAndFromvalue, meaning it saves the e-mail in both mailboxes. This is still the case in Rollup 5 v2.
We are on 3 March 2014 now, is this still bugged, did i miss something, or is there an ETA when this will be fixed ?
Looking foward to any replies.
Kind regards,
Jeroen van Velzen

I am using a shared mailbox (with a disabled account) where I get sent items and also deleted items placed in the right folders.
I think it’s just a matter of how you configure Outlook. It works well for me in both Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013, cached mode and also online mode. You can add a shared mailbox to your Outlook profile in at least two ways where one of them doesn’t work
but the other does.
If you add the shared mailbox via the File tab/Account settings/New/ and just enter the e-mail address of the shared mailbox in the Auto Account Setup page. No name, no password, just the e-mail address and click Next and voila “Your e-mail account is successfully
configured”. After restarting Outlook you will find the shared mailbox below your own in the left pane.
If you click the inbox ones in the shared mailbox and then open a new mail you will see the shared mailbox display name in the From field. After sending the mail you will see the mail in the Sent Items folder of the shared mailbox. If you delete a mail in
the shared mailbox you will see it in Deleted items folder of the shared mailbox.
The prerequisits for this is that you have “full access” and “send as” rights of the shared mailbox.
This was accomplished without using the Set-MailboxSentItemsConfiguration command.
We are running Exchange 2010 SP3 RU4.

Blue screen on start up. Safe mode not working?

Blue screen on start up. Safe mode not working, any suggestions?

Thank you, I had forgotten about target mode. I was able to back up all of my files. I also copied some additional 50 GB of files of the disk as a stress test and the hard drive worked fine and quick (and because it was quicker than retrieving the same files from a network drive to my desktop).
I was hoping to also unpack the Applejack files on my desktop and put them back so I could run them in single user mode without running /etc/rc. However I haven't been able to get my Linux desktop to mount the iBook in Read-Write instead of Read-Only yet (I don't have access to another Mac at the moment).
