Links not working in Reader for some

Hi,
I'm making PDF documents from InDesign and then opening up the PDF in Acrobat Pro on my Mac and adding in links. Once I save and open the PDFs again, I'm able to click on the links in both Pro and Reader and they work on my computer, but for others on a PC using the Reader 11, the links don't work. Anyone have any idea why this might be happening?
Thanks!

Hmm. Sounds like something went wrong with the links. Are they spelled out (using http://www....etc) or are they hyperlinks? If they are spelled out, you could have your version of Reader set to recognize links and they may not (Edit>Preferences>General>Basic tools - Create links from URLs).
To create links in ID, highlight the text, go to your hyperlinks pallet and in the drop-down select "New link" and fill in the appropriate information. Then when you export it to PDF from ID, in the "General" settings section under "include" select "Hyperlinks".
There are other options you may want to be aware of but that's better asked about in the ID forum.

  • Links not working in Reader 10 on Android...

    When opening a .pdf document in reader 10 on my Android tablet, the links to other pages in the document do not work.
    Yet when I open a different .pdf document, the links DO work.
    HELP!

  • Annotations do not work in Reader for iOS (but do for Reader on other platforms)

    I sell a book as PDF and it is encrypted against changing the contents, but annotating is allowed (highlighting, balloons). It turns out that  most PDF readers work as expected. The ones that don't (and that I know of so far) include Apple's Preview.app and (to my surprise) Adobe Reader for iOS.
    All others tested so far (including Adobe Reader for Windows and OS X) behave as expected.
    So, I suspect that (Preview.app on OS X and) Adobe Reader on iOS have a bug. Can I report that Reader for iOS bug somewhere?

    Sadly, it's a limitation in Adobe Reader for iOS.

  • Spry menu not working in IE for some reason

    Hello, I have an issue at hand that is quite troubling
    I am designing a website in Dreamweaver CS3 for the childcare place I work for, and it was coming along great until I realized that I never stopped to see if the spry worked in Internet Explorer (I use FireFox on average). Turns out, it doesn't, and does this sort of weird thing where all the menu items are backwards and the submenus only show on the far right of the page.
    It works fine in FireFox, so I am truly curious on what I might've done wrong here.
    Check out the page here: http://www.woadove.com/index.html

    As a last remark, if you want to center text do so using the CSS rule.
    For example instead of <div align="center"> use <div style="text-align: center;">. This will make it HTML compliant.
    Also use normal tags rather than divs to apply styles.
    For example where you had <li><div align='center'><a href='#'>Some Text</a></div></li> use <li style='text-align: center;'><a href='#'>Some Text</a></li>
    The above two examples show the use of in-line style rules which are selective style rules. Better still is to define rules that cover every instance at once so that, if you want to change the rule, you only need to do so once rather than multiple times.
    I hope this helps.

  • PDF portfolio search not working in Reader for Linux

    I have a PDF portfolio with embedded index created using Acrobat 9.5.5 running on Windows 7. I can search this portfolio without any problem using the windows versions of Acrobat 9.5.5 or Reader 11.0.4, but when I try any of the same searches using Reader 9.5.5 for Unix on Ubuntu 13.10, the searchs never terminate. The search window appears, but the spinning circle at top right of the search window just keeps spinning and no results ever appear. I've left it for half an hour without any results appearing. The same searches on Windows complete in a few seconds.
    The portfolio in question is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0rzh9t1oo0vx2ib/lilydoc-2.17.29.pdf (it's created from the various PDF manuals that make up the Lilypond documentation).

    Hmm. Sounds like something went wrong with the links. Are they spelled out (using http://www....etc) or are they hyperlinks? If they are spelled out, you could have your version of Reader set to recognize links and they may not (Edit>Preferences>General>Basic tools - Create links from URLs).

    Internal Microphone not working with Quicktime and some other apps, yet it does for Skype. 
    Microphone works fine with Quictime on another mac, so I do know how to use it.

  • Dynamic drill link is not working when i substitute some parameters in Plus

    Thanks & Regards

    Hi Vikram
    Oh gosh, me and my big mouth!
    Patch 5381032 has two references to issues with links. You might want to discuss your scenario with Oracle and ask them if this patch would resolve your issue.
    Another solution would be to upgrade to 10.1.2.2 (available as a patch on MetaLink) which has most of the fixes from all of the patches applied. Again I would advise you speak with Oracle Support as they are the only one who can actually confirm whether this particular issue was fixed in this release.
    Are you by any chance seeing zero numbers display as 00 and are you seeing any graying out of icons? If so, then patch 5345595 (sometimes referred to as 5345528) fixes this and is a good patch to apply if you haven't already done so.
    All of these patches require a password which can only be obtained from Oracle by raising a service request to Support and stating the issues that you have.
    Hope this helps
    Regards

  • Links not working correctly in PCUI for CRM

    Hi All,
    We are implementing mySAP CRM 4.0 through PCUI on Portal
    EP6 SP14.
    I have integrated the CRM Business Package 60.2 in Portal.
    Proper User has been created in the backend and assigned Sales Manager Role both in the portal and in the CRM backend.
    We are facing problem of links not working in the CRM Contents. When we click on the links in the CRM Portal Contents ( BSPs) we don’t get the desired application opening.
    When we click any links in the BSP's ( Activity Links in Opportunity Management BSP ) we get a blank page popped up.
    I have the screen shots with me. Any one responding can get the screen shots from me.
    Thanks in Advance
    Rohit

    Rohit,
    Have you maintained configuration in (transaction CRMC_BLUEPRINT_C --> Navigation (URL Generation) --> Assign Object Method to Role)? Be sure that the role that you are using is present and ID Page/Service field correctly points to the pcd url for your portal.
    When testing, it may be helpful to set parameter CRM_URL_BUFFER_OFF = X on the user profile (SU01) to turn off the url buffer. That way changes made above are immediate.
    Best Regards,
    Bernard

  • Fresh Install HCM 9.1 but Links not working. Help please

    Dear All,
    I'm trying to make a switch from SAP to PeopleSoft. I tought it easier to install PSFT since the number of source to install is much less than SAP. However, I kept getting same error where the links not working no matter which environment I tried to install.
    I downloaded all software from eDelivery.
    HCM 9.1, PTOOLS 8.52, Oracle 11g 64 bit, Oracle Client 32 bit.
    First Try:
    Install on windows 7 64bit. Everything works fine until first login to the PSFT and all links not working.
    Suggestion from Hakan is to apply the patch and gave me a link to the old FTP site. I downloaded the 85209 patch but got password.
    Finally I managed to get a customer ID from a friend and downloaded Patch 85211 and applied. But got java error so I scrapped it.
    Anyway, Gasparotto said the environment is not certified and will not fix my problem with the patch.
    Second Try:
    Installed Virtual Box.
    Installed Windows 2008 R2 and applied the SP1.
    Installed everything all over again.
    Ensured the PTWEBSERVER password similar the username.
    Everything works fine but when login to PSFT, again..... links not working and see on the bottom left corner there are some javascript error where they cannot find certain peoplesoft objects..
    Just upgraded to IE 9 because I read somewhere IE 8 is not certified.
    Tried to login again, no error message and everything looks fine but... links not working.
    Logs also looks normal to me.
    Does anyone ever encountered similar issues before?
    Does this is a normal behaviour before tools patch 85211 being applied ?
    Thanks,

    I understand that's rather frustrating for people who wants to jump to Peoplesoft. I don't know SAP, but here you go, Peoplesoft is not a simple toy.
    Unfortunately, if you have no access to My Oracle Support to get the Peoplesoft patches, you have no way but work on Peoplesoft OVM (free of use), and to use them on VirtualBox, the Jim's articles are worth to follow.
    Nicolas.
    PS: @Jim, thanks for the kind words.
    My last install guide is quite old now (PT8.50/Linux), even though it did not change very much within the last tools 8.52. But seeing the number of time such questions have asked over here (PT8.52 on Windows), I'm thinking to write one more, that time on Windows.

  • Adobe Edge links not working

    Yeah I have also experienced links not working when I import my .oam file from Adobe Edge Animate also. Is there anything the Muse team is doing to fix this issue? I need a response from you guys by the end of the week. my company website is malfunctioning due to issues with your software. If there is some sort of hotfix please let us know.

    When you install the software illegally, using a volume license, there is a script you can run that will enter all of the adobe servers into your local DNS hosts file so the software can be activated. This makes accessing those domains impossible. This scenario fits the description of your issue, not suggesting anything beyond that.
    The hosts file is in /private/etc/hosts and can be accessed through the terminal:
    sudo nano /private/etc/hosts
    If you see a bunch of adobe servers in there, that is your problem.

    I am trying to move my library and playlists to a new computer by burning to CD's. However, I followed the directions by going to File and then Library - then they said to go to burn CD(s) - I DO NOT have that option for some reason. How do I do this? I have done the library sharing thing but I am getting rid of my primary computer and am afraid I will lose the library.

    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    and select the Library that you moved.  That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
    Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
    Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.
