Links in pdf's work if...

The links created in version 5.0.1 when exporting to a pdf did not work.  They now work in 5.1 newly created docs EXCEPT if you open a doc created in 5.0.1 they will not work.  If you copy paste to a new document they work.
FYI

Starting in Firefox 14, Firefox no longer creates registry settings for launching links using "DDE". This has been reported to create two different problems:
* "Firefox is already running" or "Firefox is not responding" error when following links in email messages in Thunderbird ([https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/932461 Can't open links in Firefox by clicking URL in Thunderbird])
* New instance of Firefox launches if the existing instance is running in Sandboxie ([https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/933798 Firefox is running. I click on a link, say in an email, it tries to start another instance of the browswer instead of just opening a new tab as it did before.])
Not sure whether your "silent fail" scenario is related.
It is possible to configure Firefox 14 to use DDE by inserting some settings into the registry. I haven't researched this carefully myself, but there was some information about it on and external site linked in the Sandboxie thread.

  • AcrobatActiveXVB SDK Sample - Links in PDF Not working

    Hi,
    I am trying to create an application in VS.net (similar to AcrobatActiveXVB SDK Sample) to display PDF files in my application.  PDF file opens fine.  But external links in PDF file are not working.  I trying to display a main index pdf file, which contains external links to 10 other PDF files.  All 10 PDF files are located in my local hard drive (main index pdf file is also located in the same folder).  If I open the main index file in Acrobat Reader then it the links are working fine.  It is not working only when it is opened inside the AcrobatActiveXVB SDK Sample.  Please help.
    Please Note: Links are not grayed.  I get the hand mouse pointer, when I mouse over to the links.
    Windows OS - XP SP3
    Acrobat Reader - Tried it with 9.1.3 & 9.3.3.  Un-installed and re-installed multiple times
    Thanks in advance.

    hello, the pdf viewer is still somewhat experimental and under very active development - you could try if the same error is occurring in the current development version, which you can download as an addon from http://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/extensions/firefox/pdf.js.xpi
    in case it has the the same rendering problems, you could then file a bug report at https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/issues (a github account is necessary for it though) - please also provide a sample document where the error is apparent!

  • Links in PDF not working when viewed in browser

    Whenever I view an interactive PDF in a Firefox window the links in the PDF don't work. They work in other browsers like Chrome and Safari, but in Firefox they are as dead as normal text.
    It also says: "This PDF document contains forms (even though it doesn't). The filling of form fields is not supported."
    Why is Firefox's PDF viewing and editing capabilities so poor when all the other browsers have not trouble with it?

  • Links within PDF not working

    I have emailed myself a few simple PDFs and have noticed the hyperlinks within my PDFs aren't working on my 3G or my 3GS (current, non-jail broken OS).
    I'm not certain if this is common behavior and the onboard PDF rendering on iPhone OS is lacking or if perhaps my PDFs are malformed somehow.
    Can anyone confirm for me with PDFs of their own making?

    Attachments are not fully functional with iPhone currently...since iPhone doesn't have the ability to do anything but display the PDF or doc etc, the links don't hyperlink to the data you're trying to open from within the PDF...
    Perhaps with OS 4.0 this will be available

  • Links in pdf doc are not working when viewed in Reader 9, but works with Reader 8

    Hello,
    When I view a pdf document using Reader 8, the links in the document work. However, when another user views the pdf document using Reader 9, the links do not work for them. Any suggestions?

    Are they hyper links or are they spelled out (http://...etc)?
    If they are spelled out, it could be because the person using 9 needs to select "create links from URL" in Preferences>General>Basic Tools.

    When I create a PDF with Adobe Reader XI, it wont take the links behind the images. Sometimes he does, mostly not.. Whats the solution? The links in text do work!

    Hello,
    How can I give a answer back in the discussion on Adobe.com?
    I don’t see any link?
    1.      We have a subscription.
    2.      Im converting a newsletter from the web to PDF.
    3.      Sometimes I put a weblink behind the image in the newsletter. Most of the time PDF wont take the links behind the image.
    Only the tekstlinks are OK.

  • Links to pdf files created in DW not working

    Linking a pdf file to an html page where the expectation is that clicking on the link will display the pdf file in the browser is common. A page that I created would not display my linked pdf files. Google searches suggest this is a common problem with perhaps a variety of causes.
    I found that the solution to my problem was to remove my "mark of the web" statement. When this <!-- saved from url=(0014)about:internet --> appeared on my web page, pdf links would not open in my browser; when I removed the "mark of the web," all worked fine.

    Personally I always download pdfs for offline reading.
    I do, too.
    As a courtesy, I always tell site visitors what they are clicking on and the file size.   If you want to force a download, you can zip the PDF file ahead of time, and post a link to the zip file.

  • Links in PDF's and Excel have stopped working

  • Html link to pdf works ok on mac but not on ipad. adobe reader for ipad downloaded.

    HTML link to pdf works ok on Mac but not on ipad. Adobe Reader for ipad downloaded. What's wrong?

    Hi pwillener,
    Thank for reply. The pdf’s are in a subfolder “PDF” of the folder holding the web page. The web page itself uses
    . This works in full size computer browsers but not in an iPad.
    My excursion through the search engine has produced the idea of adding #page = requesting page to the URL but I have not had time to try it perhaps without the = sign.

  • Destination Link from PDF to another PDF not working in Browser

    I'm linking PDFs by using destination links to get to a specific page of the destination PDF, which works just fine.
    Now I'm displaying all PDFs in a browser.
    My links are now opening the destination PDF, but instead of opening on the destination page it is opening the first page of the PDF. The destination address seems to be lost or ignored with this link.
    Is there any method to get the PDF to open at the destination link page in a browser environment?

    I should say the new lines are also being disallowed. Personally, I'd copy to NotePad, then re-copy the bits I wanted to use.

  • Framemaker 12, Save as PDF and Print PDF Not working...

    We are using Framemaker 12 version 12.0.3.424, it tells me it is the latest patch level, and the issue we are having is that it won't either save as or print to PDF, both options are failing, they start up and then go to a certain point and come up as "not responding" and then just stops. I have managed to get a postscript file on two occasions that got 141 pages out of 1400+. I have gone through a bunch of the threads here and made sure that I have changed Adobe PDF printer to the default and deselected the box about using the specific fonts, still nothing. We are also using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard, and that is now up to the latest patch level as well. I am running out of things to try in order to get this full book put together and ready for delivery. If anyone has any additional things to try that would be great. One thing I feel might be an issue is that some of the files seem to be using a different font, "Times" vs. "Times New Roman", Frame automatically substitutes it, so was wondering if that is the issue.
    Any and all assistance will be great on this.

    Then you aren't anywhere near a 32-bit file size constraint.
    > We are running 64 bit machines here, though the program I think is the 32 bit version.
    Pretty much all CPUs are 64-bit now. What matters is the OS version, and Win7 and 8 installs are commonly 64-bit these days. FM may not even have specific 32- or 64-bit installs. I've tested FM9 on Win7/64 for file size limits, and it sails past 4GB with no problems.
    > ... stops everytime on one particular page, that has was is an OLE linked .vsd file in it.
    As if the world needed another reason to never ever use OLE for anything anywhere, esp. in Framemaker. Export that object in a stable graphical file format (PDF should work). Import that.

  • Print web page to PDF file with live links in PDF file like Apple Safari's pdf prints?

    With Firefox for Macintosh, can I print a web page to PDF in such a manner that when I option the PDF file and click on a link, it is a live link that opens in my system's default web browser?
    With Apple Safari, when I print a web page to a PDF file, the links on that page are "live" and work to open the web browser to their destination. The PDF files I get from Firefox are dead. Clicking on link does not open in browser.
    Is there a way to get FireFox to act more like Safari in this regard?
    Thanks

    Seems the referenced thread is about Lion. I am having this problem in Snow Leopard 10.6.5 with Firefox. Any way to get PDFs with working links in Snow Leopard using FIrefox? I do not really want to have to use Safari for this purpose.
    Going forward when and under what circumstances will future versions of Firefox be able to create PDFs with live links? Are there any circumstances where a current or past version of Firefox can do it under any current or past version of OS X?
    Thanks.
