Links within a word-document

Hi,
I have a really frustrating problem in our portal. We´re using SAP NetWeaver Portal 6.0.14.0.0 und KMC 6.0.14.2.0
We have a Word-Document with several links to other documents anywhere in our system. These links do work.
But we also have several links to programs on the local PC (e.g. c:programsxyzxyz.exe). The word-document is integrated into a page, but we have the problem, that sometimes (not always!!!!!) the links to the local programs are changed by SAP NetWeaver Portal:
For example instead of "C:Programsxyzxyz.exe" the link is "http://npwortal.bbb.com:50000/irj/servlet/prt/programs/xyz/xyz.exe"
Why does the system sometimes replace the correct link with this wrong link. This problem doesn´t appear all the time we update the word-document. Sometimes all links are correct, sometimes after a local edit theres just one link wrong, sometimes all links and so on.
What could be wrong?
Thanks for help, we have no idea whats going on there...

Hi,
I would be really Really REALLY be surprised if KM would touch the content of Word documents. Chances are that it's Word that is malfunctioning. Try to replace one of the components (such as use IIS or Apache as store, or use OpenOffice instead of MS Office to edit).
Best regards, Julian

Converting a document with multiple links to a word document

I am trying to convert a PDF file with multiple links to a word document. When the conversion is complete and the document is saved as a word document I cannot access the links - I keep getting error messages or messages that say a program is not associated with the link.

Hi laytonbarb,
We would like to help!
Are they hyperlinks? If so - you will want to insert the links back in. If they are full links do they match the links on the pdf?
Looking forward to hearing back from you!
Regards, Stacy

Create link to Microsoft Word document

Hi All!
I'm using Frame 7.2 and WebWorks just so you know that my file is being converted to html.
I am trying to create a link to a Word document, that shows a Word icon (not the title of the document) with a pop-up (mouseover) that describes the "action" (something like: to open the worksheet, click here.)
Any ideas?
Cindy

Hello CindyLL,
You might try the following (assuming that you use WebWorks 2003)
1. Use a special paragraph format in FM for paragraphs that contain such a link (e.g. "Link_PDF")
2. In WWP2003 map a special WebWorks Format to this FM Format
3. In the macro tab of this FM format add html code that
* displays a word icon
* and give it an alt-text that says "Click the link" or whatever
Hope this helps,
Franz.

Linking options for Word documents

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/robohelp/robohtml/WS5DFA0634-079B-4265-89D7-2A59540BAB2D.html

I'm a new user to RoboHelp10 and, based on research I've done online, I think the best use of the product for me is to link to previously-created word documents in order to create my online help project, since they are set up in a way that will translate into the topics. I am trying to create a project and to link documents instead of importing them, since I think from a maintenance perspective, this will be better long-term. I am also considering my company's my company's version control processes already in place. I chose to "Create a Copy and Link" so all the linked files are contained within the project itself, and I generated the topic for the document I'm working with right now. I then updated the Word document (via RoboHelp) and based on the help topic in "help.adobe.com/en_US/robohelp/robohtml/WS5DFA0634-079B-4265-89D7-2A59540BAB2D.html#commu nity" I thought that updating the Word document would automatically update the topic(s) linked to it, as long as I updated the copy of the document that RoboHelp created (and I actually did this by right-clicking on the doucment and chosing edit). I saved and closed the Word document, and when I didn't see the topic updated, I right-clicked on the linked document but could not select Update (it's grayed out). If I choose Force Update I am then able to see my updates from the document to the topic. I don't understand why RoboHelp isn't recognizing the changes I make to the documents that are linked via "Create a Copy and Link". Can someone tell me what step I'm missing? And, even better, if you can understand my intntions above, and can recommend a better way to set up my project, that would be even better. Thank you, and have a great day!!!

RH Crash when linking or importing word documents

RH9 build 9.0.1.232
Office 2010
Webhelp (custom skin)
I have created a template from a successful project which i completed over three months ago.
I am now trying to create a project using the template and getitng persistent crashes when attempting to Import or Link Word documents.
This is causing a great hold up to the project delivery.
Any help would be appreciated

Please see the article on my site about Project Templates. The script has been found to have some issues.
You say have deleted the file and then ask what will happen if you remove it. You did, you said so "Deleting the file seemed to work". If that is not what you mean, please clarify what you mean by removing the file.
If you create a project using the script, then close the project and delete the CPD, it should be OK. If there ae going to be problems, you will know pretty soon.

Hyperlink from within a Word Document to a specific page within a PDF document.

I was hoping that someone would be able to assist me. I would like to create a hyperlink (used as a citation) on my Word document that opens directly to a specified page within a PDF document (possible other word docs and so on, but less
often). How do I go about performing this? Another note, all the documents would reside within a SharePoint site.

I am not a Word guru, but I don't think you can run a macro from a hyperlink. But you can create an active X label that runs a macro when clicked. You can use the following macro to go to a specific page in a PDF file.
Sub OpenPDFPageView(DisplayPage As Integer)
'In order to use the macro you must enable the Acrobat library from VBA editor:
'Go to Tools -> References -> Adobe Acrobat xx.0 Type Library, where xx depends
'on your Acrobat Professional version (i.e. 9.0 or 10.0) you have installed to your PC.
Dim PDFApp As AcroApp
Dim PDFDoc As AcroAVDoc
Dim PDFPageView As AcroAvPageView
Dim PDFPath As String
Dim DisplayPage As Integer
PDFPath = "C:\Users\doudou\documents\test1.pdf"
'Set the page you want to be displayed
'DisplayPage = 3
'Initialize Acrobat by creating App object
Set PDFApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
'Set AVDoc object
Set PDFDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
'Open the PDF
If PDFDoc.Open(PDFPath, "") = True Then
PDFDoc.BringToFront
'Maximize the document
Call PDFDoc.Maximize(True)
Set PDFPageView = PDFDoc.GetAVPageView()
'Go to the desired page
'The first page is 0
Call PDFPageView.GoTo(DisplayPage - 1)
'Set the page view of the pdf
Call PDFPageView.ZoomTo(2, 50)
End If
Set PDFApp = Nothing
Set PDFDoc = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
'Show the adobe application
PDFApp.Show
'Set the focus to adobe acrobat pro
AppActivate "Adobe Acrobat Pro"

Link to external Word document does not work (in RoboHelp 8)

I am trying to insert a link to an external MS Word document (.doc) from HTML help (.chm) using RoboHelp for Word (version 8). When I compiled in WinHelp 2000 format, I used the EF macro to do this. We converted our Help project format and now the EF macro doesn’t work when compiling HTML Help. Is there a way to do this?
By the way, I need to stick with using RoboHelp for Word. Although I’d prefer to use RoboHelp HTML, my help project won’t convert correctly to RoboHelp HTML.

First of all, is it just this one project that has a problem compiling? Can you compile one of the tutorial projects? If so I think this may require a bit of dectective work to see what is causing the issue. Take a copy of your project. Now delete half the topics and see if it compiles. If it does, add some more content and compile again. If it doesn't compile, compile the other half. As a result of these actions (and by repeating) you'll be able to narrow down what the issue is.

Using Hotspot to link to a word document

Hi,
I was wondering does anyone know when I use a hotspot how when somebody can click on the hotspot that a word document or one alike will open once the hot spot has been clicked on.
Thanks

When you make a hotspot, you can provide the Link in the Properties panel. This is the URL of the file that you want the hotspot to be linked to. You can link to Word documents, but they are not Web documents and won't open in browsers. They would have to be downloaded. (Of course, you have to upload the file to your site, first.)

InDesign CS6 not linking to source Word document

When I had Adobe Cs4 when I place a word document in InDesign a link was created to the source documenent. If the word document was changed, when InDesign checked for errors it prompted me to update the link document. Now when I place a word document in CS6 it does not creat a link. If the word document is changed I cannot update the indesign unless I delete everything and place the word document again. Is there a better way?

Thank you so much. I did just that and it's working just fine.
The geniuses at Adobe told me that there was no such option.

Link to open Word document

I am creating a document system with RoboHelp 6. I'd like to
create a link that would open a word document that is our business
template. This needs to open the Word program and then open the
document file.
Is this possible? How?

OK I just checked our intranet and it does in fact work the
same way as the web. Click on a link to a doc file and you get a
dialogue box asking if you want to open in Word or save the file,
that happens in both Firefox and IE and both give the user the
option to always open such files in whichever way they choose. That
option can be disabled though by the Administrator.
So what you want can be done. You might want to add a note to
the link. Otherwise it is a training matter.
Hope that helps.

HT2506 How can I insert a link within a PDF document with preview.app in Mavericks

Would like to create a selfmade table of contents that links to the right place in the pdf document
Thanks for the support!

Preview is not really a PDF editor. You can do basic stuff such as add annotations, insert pages, but you cannot add hyperlinks.

RH11 "messes up" hyperlinks set in a linked word document

Hello Adobe Community,
I am having some troubles with RH11, importing Word-Docs and generating html code. The problem is the following:
There is a word document "text1.docx" with some hyperlinks in it, which navigate to a certain html file in the RH output. Let me be a bit more precise:
-I have two word documents: text1.docx (containing hyperlinks) and text2.docx (content unimportant)
-Now I am importing both docx-files to RH but to different working folders so they appear in different folders in the RH output:
create folder "folder1" in RH and import text1.docx into folder1
create folder "folder2" in RH and import text2.docx into folder2
-Now I am generating the output and the structure is the following:
... !SSL! --> Output --> folder1 --> text1.htm
                            --> folder2 --> text2.htm
                            --> index.htm
                            --> other files
Because I know what the output structure will look like I set a hyperlink in "text1.docx" which navigates to the "text2.htm" file. The hyperlink looks like this: "../folder2/text2.htm"
Somehow in the process RH "messes up" this link and replaces the relative part of the path with its temporary working directory. So after the process the link is not "../folder2/text2.htm" but "//file:/c:/Users/User1/AppData/Local/Temp/folder2/text2.htm". I think it is obvious that this link will not work. How do I manage it to tell RH not to change any part of the hyperlinks and just copy-paste it into the html file.
I do not want to be rude, but I do not want to read anything about my approach and that it is not best practice etc.. Because we have approx. 500 documents with many hyperlinks of this type it is neither an option change the links within the word documents nor to manually edit them in RH.
The past years we used a workaround with GREP to replace the wrong links with correct ones, but a solution within RH would be more comfortable.
I hope you can help me :-)
Best regards from Germany

The problem is that Rh accepts what it is given by Word. Part of the import process is to first let Word convert the file to HTML format and Rh has to let Word do that. Word writes the link in the format you see.
Add in that when you import document 1, there is no document 2 to give Rh a chance.
Maybe someone at Adobe can figure out a solution as you are not the first person to flag this issue. Add your voice the chorus. Please follow this link.

Embedding reference/page links to external PDF, in Word document before exporting it as PDF...

I have a substantial compilation of documents in a single PDF file: call this the reference material.
I am writing a narrative concerning the above using Word 2010, which when complete I will export to PDF, to be included with the above reference PDF, either as a separate PDF or (ideally) combined with it into one single PDF.
The narrative will include many references to specific pages (ideally views of individual pages) within the reference material, ideally as clickable links.
The only way I can see to do this is to complete the narrative Word document, PDF it, and then go through the whole PDF narrative document creating page-view links for each of the in-text references, either:
to the reference material as an external PDF, or
having combined the narrative PDF with the reference PDF, and then creating the links.
So... I'm wondering if there may be some slick method of creating the page-view links in the Word document as I go along, in such a way that they would survive the transition when the narrative is exported into PDF. I'm assuming I'm not the first person to need to do such a job!
(I'm hoping to avoid using pre-set destinations in the reference PDF.)
Using Acrobat 9 Pro Ext.
Thank you!

I will not address the terminal server environment (check the license on that). However, it could be that the fonts the individual is using are not on the terminal server and that is the cause of the failure. It might work to embed the fonts in the PS file (an option in the creation process) so that they are available to Distiller. Based on your comment that it is a symbol issue, that is my best guess.

Hyperlinks in linked Word documents don't work

Hello All,
I'm having a problem with hyperlinks and I'm hoping you can help me. I have a RoboHelp HTML 8 project built out of Word 2007 linked files. There's a dozen Word files right now, but I'm hoping to scale up the project eventually. Each file is a topic in the CHM.
I have two problems when I generate the CHM:
1. Links to anchors within the same Word document generate extra subtopic files. Each extra topic begins at the anchor point. The links work, but I'd like to avoid having extra topics cluttering the TOC.
2. Links to anchors in other Word documents don't work at all. When I examine the HTML in Robohelp, I can see that RoboHelp has generated an empty link. When I link to a Word document without specifying an anchor point, the link in the CHM is to the document itself and not the topic, which is useless for my purposes.
For example, the generated HTML for each of these types of links looks like this:
<p>Link test: <a href="#_Using_Styles">Later in the same topic.</a></p> <== This one works, but generates an extra subtopic
<p>Link test: <a href="" target="_self">To another topic.</a></p> <== This one doesn't work at all.
Before you ask, yes, I have checked the "Convert References to Hyperlinks" box in the RoboHelp Word conversion settings. According to Adobe documentation, that's all I need to do... So what am I doing wrong?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions,
Susie

I have an update: Adobe got back to me and confirmed that the inter-document/inter-topic link issue is an actual RH
bug. I'll check back in here when I have more news.
