Location of Links in PDF document

I have a requirement, where I need to be able to find location (X,Y coordinates) of hyperlinks in the PDF document. I understand I can convert PDF to text or XML but that does not provide me location of hyperlinks.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Linking a PDF document to URL in Smart forms

Hi All,
Please anyone let me know how i can link a PDF document to a link in the smart form output.
I'm outputting Purchase order details on a smartform and I'm supposed to give an URL link for the user to click on it for Terms and Conditions.
Please note that I'm not using interactive forms in web dynpros nor developing with BSP.
I simply developed a smart form in SRM system and I'm able to display an URL but don't know how to link a PDF to that link.
Please some one let me know your ideas how i can attach a PDF to an URL in smart form.
Thanks in Advance,
Sowjanya

Hi,
Follow the below blog and it is very useful achiving your requirement.
in the blog:
in the below point,
Code to send the email
Following code will transform the html content into displayable format and send email to all the recipients. Note: This form also handles the images (static) defined in the smartform, as well as the images defined with html IMG tag (eg: URL link to image on the network).
you have to convert your pDF output into displayable format. then add that link to your smartform.
Thanks,

How do you link a pdf. document within a Keynote slide?

How do you link a pdf. document within a Keynote slide?

Gary, I'm trying to save a Keynote presentation that was created from a Powerpoint presenation using PDF files.
It imported beautifully, problem is it won't play. Keeps giving me a "Keynote cannot play your slideshow because an error occured" message.
I thought it was a Powerpoint/Keynote incompatibility thing, so I recreated the presentation - 1 pdf per slide just like you have here (I did this before finding your post) and it still wouldn't play. I even tried JPG - nothing; just horrible looking images.
Is there something I'm missing?

Issue with web links in PDF document using adobe reader 10.1.1

Hi,
We are creating the PDF documents that contains website links. The problem that is occurring is whenever we click on the website links in the pdf file, it opens up IE browser but just show connecting message without actually showing the link and its content. This is ocuurring when we open the PDF using adobe reader 10.1.1 . However it seems to be working fine with Adobe reader 9 . Moreover the length of the URL is bit large and seems like links work fine when we have 253 characters in the URL and if they are more than that then it is not working.Since it is working fine in Adobe reader 9 is there any constraint imposed on the length of URL with adobe reader 10.1.1 . Anything regarding this will be of great help.

Hi..
Try removing a plugin...
Quit Safari.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin (or just PDF Browser plugin) from the Internet Plug-Ins folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari to test.

Hyper links in pdf documents not working on iphone.

Unable to follow links in pdf document which use asynchronous pluggable protocol on Windows unless we disable extended security completely (Reader 11.0.7) - is there any other way round this?

We have a pdf document which contains links of the format appname://some/path.
This is using Windows Asynchronous Pluggable Protocols which we have defined in the registry so these links should launch the application with the path as an argument.
If we disable enhanced security in Reader 11.0.7 then this works - otherwise it just fails to do anything.
With enhanced security on, we get warning and select trust this site for all pdfs.
Adobe then stores the first part of the path i.e. for appname://some/path it will store path in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\TrustManager\cDefaultLaunchURLPerms].
Don't get warning after that but the application still doesn't launch if enhanced security is enabled.

Apologies was mislead - it's not enhanced security which is causing the issue, it is protected mode.

Preview seems having problem with relative link with PDF documents

Hello,
I have a PDF file which I've added relative hyperlinks to it (to an html file). I did it with Adobe Acrobat 7.0 (for Windows). I have a link which is a custom action: Open a web link. The link is defined as "../presentation/referencesechelon8.html". I need relative link because the entire web site can be deployed on a DVD instead of on a Web server.
On Windows with Firefox or IE everything is working flawlessly. On the Mac side, it's working with Safari since it's using Adobe Reader to read the PDF. However, with other browsers using Mac built-in PDF viewer, Preview 3, it is not working at all. In the pdf document Preview 3 is unable to reconstruct the original url from the relative link. Instead it points to http://../presentation/referencesechelon8.html which is not correct.
Does anyone have an idea? I've googled a lot and did not find anything. My next try will be to use a Javascript to reconstruct the url.
Thank you in advance!

Links within PDF document open linked PDF documents, but seem to replace original document rather than as additional documents.

Hello good people of the Adobe Community! I have a user of Adobe Reader XI that is having the following problem:
She is viewing, what we will call, the "main document," and this document has many links to other PDF documents. When she clicks on one of the links, the main document gets replaced by the new document. She then needs to re-open the main document to view it again. This happens with every link she clicks. I worked with the document in Reader XI and am able to open every link as an additional document, thus allowing me to immediately view both the main document and the new document.
My questions are:
Is there some setting in her Reader that I do not have turned on/off, which is why she is having this issue and I am not?
If not, then why is the user experiencing this "replacement" of the main document?
How do I help her resolve this issue?
Thank you for your time and attention.
Ben

I don't know if there is any way to configure this in the Reader preferences.
However, it can be decided in the document itself. I just created a test document (using Acrobat DC) with two links:
one to open in the same window
on the open in a new window
Both links do what I selected:
one opened in the same Reader window (replacing the original document)
the other one opened a new Reader window
When creating the links there was actually a third option: Window set by user preferences. However, I cannot seem to find such a user preference in Adobe Acrobat Reader. The default (in my case) seems to be to open in the same Reader window.

Creating Links with PDF documents

I am creating PDF documents based on SAP Scripts. I want to hyperlink within these PDF documents but I don't know the command. Help!
I can use html tags to bold and other fuctions, but <a href..> anchor tags do not work within the PDF. Any information would be appreciated.

Hi Allen,
I spent a bit of time looking at your interesting query, but am afraid I cannot find any solution to it.
If you want to send the document via email, and therefore need the hyperlink, your best bet might be to send it as an HTML document. I don't know if you can achieve the transformation to an HTML document using traditional SAPScript though, but it is possible with Smartforms.

FF PDF viewer - Users can't open links in pdf documents

My website has a number of pdf pages, each of which has a linked button for "More detail". This works fine in IE and fine in Pale Moon and fine in CHrome and fine even in FF if FF is set to use the Adobe pdf viewer.
But if FF is using the built in viewer, the links don't work, either completely non-responsive, or go to the wrong address.
This issue has been bugging people for a few years, is it possible to get it fixed please? I am tired of dealing with frustrated users who can't open the linked files.
Example look here: http://canberrabirds.org.au/wp-content/BirdSummaryData/Australasian%20Bittern.pdf andclick on More Detail blue button at top.

Much appreciated. Can you explain what 'code in a more compatible way' means? I didn't produce these pdf pages, but was not aware that even in a pdf file a link could be anything more than a link. What instruction should I give the person who makes these pages?
Thanks
''cor-el [[#answer-689639|said]]''
<blockquote>
I'm on Linux and that button doesn't work in other PDF viewers like Evince and Ocular as well.
So I assume that you will have to rebuild that PDF file and code that button in a more compatible way to make this work in viewers other than the Adobe Reader.

Creating link to excel document within PDF portfolio

i created a pdf portfolio and created links to pdf documents within portfolio but am unable to create a link to the excel documents. I can't even create a link to direct them to a specific folder where the item is held. HELP, New to pdf portfolio's!

One option is to create a PDF from the Excel spreadsheet and link to that.
If you want to update the spreadsheet, you could create a Web Content overlay (or HTML article) that links to a Google spreadsheet. I've played around with linking to a Google presentation, and it works fine. You can update the spreadsheet/presentation on the website and the changes automatically appear in the overlay. I've just dabbled at it, so I wouldn't be much help with sizing/formatting issues.

Pages: create pdf documents with hyperlinks to web pdf files

Hi everybody,
I've created a pdf file with Pages, it contains a number of hyperlinks some of them work and the others don't.
The ones that works are linked to an html page, and those non working are linked to pdf documents on the net (still beginning with http:// but ending with .pdf).
I don't know ho to solve this because Pages automatically create hyperlinks and the only options available are email, pages document, web page and bookmarks.
Any suggestion?
Thx

Hi Jeff and thanks for the reply,
the links work perfectly in the pages document but one I've exported it in pdf some of them don't work anymore.
I don't see any difference in the url structure of the pdf links, they are copied ant pasted from the url box of the browser.
Here's one of the link that don't work
http://www.enpap.it/documenti/elezioni1317/NOTAI_COLLEGIO3_SUD_E_ISOLE.pdf
Could the problem has something to do with the underscores or capital letters? It would seem strange but I don't know what's going on.

Error opening a pdf document in ie7

I have installed adobe reader. the OS is windows 7. When I open any PDF document using Internet Explorer 7, It stops with the message of Ruc time error. Message also shows there is error in c:\programfiles(x86)]internet explorer\iexplore.exe. When i select the link of PDF document for save as, the file types do not show pdf option.

Doesn't it automatically save as a .pdf file? That's what I get using IE9.

Opening a pdf document open in another tab prevents the mouse scroll wheel from responding in the current tab. I have observed this behaviour since version 3.x.

Right click on link for pdf document and "Open in another tab"
Immediately, the mouse wheel scroll function stops working in the current tab (or any other open tabs).
It's not a deal breaker, just a strange annoyance.

Using similar scroll function on my netbook. To add to the above, I find that using scroll is actually causing the PDF to scroll rather than the tab I'm actually in.
Reader 9 is installed on my Win7 Starter.
