Links to other PDF's broke in Preview but work with Adobe

I have a users manual for my car that is made up of a PDF for each section of the manual. In Adobe and Preview, I can open any PDF, click on the different sections in that particular table of contents and go to that page in the PDF. Preview, however, doesn't go to the MAIN table of contents, which is in a different PDF. Anyone know if Preview can link to other PDF's and not just itself? It works fine with Adobe, but not Preview.
Thanks

I find I'm having the same problem, but not just with links to other PDFs. ALL links are non-functioning.
The original document was created in Word, but all the links should work properly. I'm even unable to click on links wherein the text for the link is "http://example.address.com/page.htm"
Considering we've got a district full of Macs, and the default program is Preview ( which is also so much faster to load) It would really be nice if these links worked.

  • PDF won't print in Preview but OK with Adobe Reader

    Periodically (and rarely) I run into a problem where an application yields a PDF for printing, is submitted to the print queue of my Laserwriter 16/600 PS, and instead of printing, the following message pops up briefly before the job is wiped out:
    the process "cgpdftops" terminated unexpectedly on signal 6
    The same problem occurs if I choose to preview the output first, in which case the job is submitted by Preview, and that yields the same result.  However, I open the same PDF document using Adobe Reader, it prints fine.
    Any thoughts?

    On the Print dialog under Page Sizing & Handling, did you try Fit or Shrink oversized pages?

  • Created a pdf from a word-file and inserted formfields. The fields works in other pdf-readers(nitro,reader etc), but not in adobe reader and acrobat. Please help.

    Hi,
    I have created a pdf from a word-file and inserted formfields for a work related file. I've used nitro pro to create the formfield. They works in nitro, reader, foxit etc. but not adobe reader. From page 3 and out, the font wont show when writing in a formfield. Some formfield doesnt even show.
    Please help me fix this (hopefully before the presentation at work friday) :-)

    Agreed. Adobe makes no claims that their Reader will work properly with forms made from third party software.

  • Can I create a custom table of contents and link to other .pdf files based on responses to a form?

    Hey Everyone! First post ever, so bear with me:
    I'm trying to create a streamlined method to use a form  to let myself and others add information and select certain options to put together a custom table of contents. Basically, I would like to have a form with a series of text fill and single/multiple choice options that will automatically populate a table of contents based on the selections and will link to other .pdf files that are associated with the selections. I was hoping this would be possible with a form, but I'm relatively new to the function of the software as a whole and my research came up short. Any suggestions on how to start are more than welcome, and if I wasn't quite clear enough I would be happy to elaborate.
    Thanks for your time!

    You would need to search for other PDF creation software that can accomplish what you desire.
    There are many cheaper  PDF creation alternatives other than Adobe's Acrobat Pro software.
    Also, try doing a web search under these terms to see if you can find an app/software/solution that may work for you.

    I’m using version 11.0.10. So where the Menu resides in a folder ready to be burnt on to a CD, that same folder is where the links point to.

  • How to use PDF files with links to other PDF Files

    How to use a PDF file with links to other PDF files that have been transferred to the same folder

    Are you using a mouse, or a trackpad on a laptop? Either way, your cursor is usually an arrow, right? And presumably it's working/moving MOST of the time, otherwise you wouldn't be able to do anything?
    For example, can you move the cursor arrow to the "Annotate" tool to click on it and go into Annotate mode? If so, can you click on the text tool? If so, does the cursor change to a crosshairs? At what point can you NOT move the cursor around the screen?

    Hi wellsfar,
    Which version of Adobe Reader you are using?
    Is it showing any error message?
    A screenshot of the error would be more helpful.

    I think if you use the start-command, the execution is asynchronously and you won't get the correct process-id. Try to execute Acorbat directly without the cmd /c start in front of it.

  • I changed my sim on my iPhone n reconfigured iMessage, it configured with my number but when i sign in with my apple id it says username/password is wrong while in all other things like FaceTime, App Store it worked with the same id and password

    i changed my sim on my iPhone n reconfigured iMessage, it configured with my number but when i sign in with my apple id it says username/password is wrong while in all other things like FaceTime, App Store it worked with the same id and password..
    can anyone help me to solve this issue

    i just opened my ipad, started my apple account/I.D. and realized I put the wrong e mail. I was having trouble correcting my I.D on the Ipad so I went to my laptop and make the proper changes/slash e mail address I wanted for my apple ID. I got back to my ipad and try to download an app I can't because I have to sign in my apple account and I can't because it still has the irrelivant I.D/email address..
    So, i did what you said.. went to setting>app store> tapped on my e mail.. it asked me to sign in (with my invalid emails address showing). I signed in with the password I had created. It said "incorrect".. I went to reset password. I reset password, tried to sign in and it says again "unvalid password".. this is getting irritating.  I have been asking and no one knows what to do.
