Links to pdf file not working

Please help.
I am trying to create a link for a .pdf file. I am not sure
where I am going wrong because when I test the link in ie nothing
happens. However, when I preview it in ie & right click I am
able to save the linked file to my desktop & open it so I know
the file is linked, it is just not opening in ie. I attached my
code for the link.

  • Links in pdf file not working properly (in Acrobat Reader)

    Hello everybody
    I'm converting a book I wrote from mobi to pdf with Calibre. While formatting the document, I used some html, including a few links between different parts of the same document.
    However, when I test the pdf document in Acrobat and I click on links, they always send me about a page before of what I marked with the a name attribute... This doesn't happen when I try the book on the calibre pdf reader...
    I've been looking around but can't find why. I've checked my book on mobi, and everything is OK there. This only seems to happen on the document itself on with the way Acrobat reads it.
    Any ideas or explanations?
    Thanks!

    You might want to check with Calibre about the issue. If you had Acrobat you could reset the bookmarks. Since Adobe created the initial PDF document standard, I have seen this in PS files where bookmarks were placed on a page before any content was placed on the page. The bookmark was in the limbo area were a page might not exist if no content were added to the page.

  • A link to other pdf files not working in only Android OS. How Can I fix it ?

    If there is many folders and pdf files in there  and a pdf file is at root and the root pdf file has many link to pdf files.
    In Windows OS links work well. but In Android OS, not working. when I click links, there is no difference. How can I fix it?

    Hi,
    Are you trying to open a portfolio or a pdf with attachments on Adobe Reader on Android or a pdf file with links(in form of text) to other pdfs? Would it be possible for you to share the pdf with us at [email protected] so that we may investigate?

  • Links to embedded pdf files not working in iOS reader

    I have created a pdf document that links to a variety of embedded pdf files.
    When I open this file in the iOS reader on my iPad 3, the links are not active. All of the embedded files are listed in the attachments list, but the links themselves do not launch the attachments.
    Please help!
    Thank you

    We only support internal and http links in the current reader,not including links to attachments. However, PDF attachments should be open-able using the attachments button (bottom right). It should also work for password protected documents. If it does not, please share a sample file with us at [email protected] so we can investigate.
    Thanks!

  • Imbedded link to downloadable .PDF file not working in Safari

    Two questions:
    I imbedded a text link that is supposed to download a .PDF file from my iDisk. However, when I click the text link from my Safari browser I get this error message:
    "“A network error occurred while accessing this document on the Internet. Would you like to close the document or reload it?”
    When I retry by pasting my iWeb published page into Mozilla, the linked file downloads quickly with no problem. However, when I paste it into Internet Explorer's browser, it takes about 4 minutes to download!
    Second question: I can't seem to link an image that I inserted on a "My Photos" template page. There is no way to select the image--when I do, it just shows the "blue box" around the image but it doesn't actually select the image itself so I can link it.
    I was able to link images in my .Mac pages so I don't know why I can't on iWeb.
    If anyone wants to try it, here is the link to that page. ONLY CLICK ON THE BERMUDA AMEX TRAVEL PLANNER TEXT as that is the only link I've imbedded thus far. This page is obviously still under construction.

    This is correct, you cannot make the image holders hyperlinks. The solution is to put a Shape over the top of the image that you want to be a link, then Opn Inspector, Graphic Link and make the Opacity 1%, no more no less. Then make this shape a link. Beware that this image will still display in a slideshow and if you insert more images and it moves, the shape will not move with it.
    You may also want to click on the shape and then go Arrange > Bring to Front.

  • Hyperlinks to pdf files not working when project is exported out as SWF and uploaded to server

    hI all
    I'm using CS5 and i have hyperlinks to pdf files in my indesign project. However when i export to SWF, although the links work locally, they do not work when i upload all the relevant folders and files and test it from a server the links to the pdfs can not be found, the error messages indicates its looking for the files on my hard drive. I have also noticed that if i copy all the relevant folders and files and exported swf to a different directory and then launch swf from there the links do not work there either.
    Other than seperately uploading each pdf indvidually on to the server and then creating a hyperlink to it from the local indesign project i don't know what else to do.
    Any advice much appreciated.

    I have your same problem, but didn't consider uploading the PDFs and then linking to them. I'm willing to try it. Let me know if you ever found a better way, ok?
    Thanks.

  • Hyperlinks to pdf file not working

    I hope someone will be able to help me. I have been using PDF
    converter online for awhile now and on some of my websites. I know
    how to use hyperlinks (I am a webdesiger). All of a sudden, my
    hyperlinks are not working on any NEW ones I create. I click on the
    link on the website and it comes up with Error 404, Page not found.
    I am using regular word documents.
    The support team keeps instructing me on how to set up
    hyperlinks - I know how to do that.
    Is anyone else having this problem?
    Thanks!

    I am a new user to OnLINE Adobe. My hyperlinks from Word
    documents do not transfer to the PDF files. Please help!!!

  • Link to a file not working

    Hi, I'll try to be clear, but it ain't gonna be easy! I am planning putting a portfolio of illustrations on the web. When a visitor clicks on an image thumbnail, it will open a larger version of the image in the same window—I was even able to create a rollover where the color image switches to its greyscale version, thanks to the help I received previously on this board (thanks!). Everything works fine when tested online.
    Now, having discovered Shadowbox, I have decided to incorporate it to my iWeb site by following their directions as well as those found at
    http://www.imaginatestudio.com/iWebUnlimited/iwebtips/Entries/2009/8/22_19-_Shadowbox_iniWeb.html
    The way I understand it, for Shadowbox to work, the hyperlink for the image to enlarge must be not to "One of My Pages", but to "A File".
    The thing is I cannot figure out how to make this work: I create a page in iWeb, I insert a jpeg image that I size down to a thumbnail, select it and choose "Enable as a hyperlink > Link To > A File". Then I click "Choose", navigate to my image folder located on the hard drive, select the image, click "Open", BUT… when I check "Make hyperlinks active", nothing happens. If I hover my cursor over the thumbnail, the path to the file pops up, but that's it, it does not link to anything, the link is no more!
    All of this does not augur well for my success with scripting in Shadowbox So, if anyone can tell me how to make the hyperlink to "A File" work, at least I'll feel like I left the starting blocks. Thank you in advance. (And if someone has managed to make Shadowbox work in iWeb '09 without too much headache, please let me know too.)

    The following may be relevant to what you're seeing: Checking "Make hyperlinks active" applies only to making hyperlinks active within iWeb for testing prior to publishing. However, the hyperlinks set up via "Link To > A File" are an exception and cannot be made "active", i.e. clickable within iWeb. ...A hyperlink to a file is only active/clickable when viewing the published site in a browser.

    I haven't tried implementing what that tutorial suggests so the following may not help, but it mentions this alternative:
    • HTML: Simply enable as a hyperlink your image, shape, text to an *+external page+*.
    ...Try changing your "Link To > A File" to "An External Page" where your image is located on a server, e.g.
    http://idisk.me.com/membername/Public/MyFolder/MyImage.jpg

  • Full Text Search in PDF file Not Working in SQL Server 2012

    OS: Windows Server 2012 @ Azure
    DB: SQL Server 2012 SP 1 with Cum Update 6
    Filter: OfficeFilter installed, PDFFilter64 11 installed (actually I tried 9 too)
    I have done the following steps:-
    1. Configure SQL Server Instance to enable FILESTREAM for Transaction-SQL Access (IO Access and Allow Remote Client Access to FileStream data) and restart the instance service.
    2. Set Stream Access Level to Full Access and  
    3. Create Database with file stream folder and set the created database Properties.Options: FileStreamDirectorName = fileContainer and FileStream Non-Transaction Access = Full.
    4. Create a FileTable with file director
    5. Execute the following scripts to ensure all installed components working. PDF is listed as one of the supported filter.
    EXEC sp_fulltext_service @action='load_os_resources', @value=1;
    EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'verify_signature', 0 -- don't verify signatures
    EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'update_languages'; -- update language list
    EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'restart_all_fdhosts';
    EXEC sp_help_fulltext_system_components 'filter'
    reconfigure with override
    6. Copy a few PPTX, DOCX, PDF file into the file director.
    7. Search the data by following command. I can PPTX and DOCX files can return right result but PDF is not returned although it contains the searching contents.

    Are you seeing any errors in the SQL Server Error Log, the Windows Application or System logs?  How about in the Full-text crawl logging?
    Troubleshooting Errors in a Full-Text Population (Crawl)
    If your server has a mix of multi-threaded iFilters and single-threaded iFilters, this can cause serious problems with building the full text index.  (How do I know this?  Well, let's just say that I have suffered as well. And I was shocked!) 
    The efficiency was greatly increased by this article: 
    Troubleshooting: Slow Full-Text Indexing Performance Due to Filtering Process
    This means changing the threading model for the multi-threaded (e.g. Microsoft Office) filters to be Apartment Threaded.  Or perhaps if you are full text indexing PDF files, abandoning the free single-threaded Adobe IFilter and purchasing the FoxIt
    (or some other) multi-threaded PDF iFilter would benefit you.

  • Hyper links in pdf documents not working on iphone.

    Hello,

  • Opening PDF Files Not Working Sporadically

    I inherited a VB.Net Windows application. It uses MDI Parent and MDI Child forms. Two of the child forms have viewers that open PDF files. In both cases the child forms are launched and the PDF file opened when the user selects a menu item. My application has references to four Adobe dlls, AcroPDF.dll, adodb.dll, AxInterop.AcroPDFLib.dll, and Interop.AcroPDFLib.dll. In both cases when the menu item for the desired document is selected (this raises a button click event) a very simple line of code " AxAcroPDF1.src = [path]\ [name of PDF file] " is executed. When executed from a CD, the application works fine on the development machine and on some user workstations, but on at least one workstation when the user selects the menu item that open the PDF file they get an unhandled exception error. The error message is quite lengthy, so I will only include excerpts. "0x8000405 Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component" is the meat of the error message.
    The user's machine on which the error occurs has Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Distiller, as does another user workstation on which the application runs fine. Windows Vista is the standard, so I do not believe it is being affected by the version of Windows. All of our workstations are supposed to be imaged using the same master; however individual users can have other software installed as needed. We do have some stringent security requirements and they vary depending on the network the particular user is on. I do not think this would have any affect on a standalone Windows application running from a CD, however I am not certain that is the case.
    Any answers, suggestions, thoughts, etc. on why this error would occur on some machines but not others will be greatly appreciated. There is so much on the net that my Google searches return it is difficult to filter through all of it. The error message in question can apparently be generated many ways and so far I have not found anything that is specific to the error occurring when attempting to open a PDF file within a Windows application.

    The user's workstation on which the application throws an error has Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro as does one of the other workstations on which the application runs correctly. I verified this with the user, so we can eliminate the version of the software as being the culprit. Please express any thoughts or ask any questions you feel are pertinent. I would like to get to the bottom of this and will gladly do whatever will help other posters help me. Thanks.

  • Search in saved preview .pdf files not working any more

    When I download a .pdf file from the internet and open it in preview, the search command works ok. When this same file is saved to disk and opened again, search is not working any more. Is this a bug, or my fault. Regards Rolf

    Hi,
    I hope this helps...
    A while back we have more than one browser running on our PC (IE, Firefox, Chrome) and we messed by how Acrobat views documents over the web.
    I think that this has some relevance here, as around this time LC also started falling over previewing forms.
    Now if we open LC and Acrobat is not running, the "Preview PDF" is not present or accessible. So now we fire up Acrobat before we open a form in LC Designer and the preview tab is there and functioning.
    Not much of a workaround; but I am hoping that someone will have a better one!!!
    Good luck,
    Niall

  • HTML Links to PDF Destinations not Working

    I've named three destinations in a PDF file using Acrobat X.  When I have the Destinations tab open with the local file they all resolve to the right location.  However when I use HTML links to go directly to these destinations (using file.pdf#nameddest=destination-name format) they resolve to the top of the following page.
    Any reccomendations on how to fix this?
    Thank you for all your help.
    my test files are located at www.kathrynswebpage.net/booklist.php

    Hi, I know the answer to the second question:
    - use Inspector
    - go to "link inspector"
    - choose "format"
    --> from here you can choose how your links appear
