Make Hyperlinks Active works on URL, not on PDF files

When I'm working on my site and click "make hyperlinks active" to test them, the link associated with a web page at another site on the Internet works, but the hyperlinks associated with pdf files I've selected on my computer don't work. I click and nothing happens.
When I check the files on the computer and just click on the they open fine. They won't work from iWeb, however, when I check make hyperlinks active.
When I uploaded the site, and tried to download the pdf files by clicking on the links on my site, some worked and some didn't. Some opened rather quickly, some took forever.
ANY AND ALL HELP IS APPRECIATED.

The link to a file doesn't work in the iWeb application
Publish your site to a folder on the desktop, launch it in your browser by double clicking the index.html file and click on your PDF link to see if it directs you to its location on your hard drive.
If it doesn't, you have not set it up correctly in iWeb.
If you are uploading to a server other than .Mac, open an appropriate page folder on your server using your FTP application to see if the PDF or Zip file is actually there.

  • I need to make a pdf document, made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    I need to make a pdf document, already made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website as an e-brochure. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    Hello waitingone,
    please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
    1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
    2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
    3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
    4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
    5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
    6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
    7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
    Good luck!

  • Error message url not supported by file

    When I'm on the internet, I randomly get an error message that reads 'url not supported by file:' What does this mean?
    Okay, just read other comments on this and I shut off my Time Machine for now - hopefully this works.  Thanks

    Depends on which browser and it's version you are using?  Solution may be found if you search in the "More Like This" section over in the right column. 
    Are you wireless or ethernet connected? 

  • Can not add pdf files to my e-mail-it just grinds on a 851kb file (11kb worked)not using gmail. windows xp. recently wnld java update.

    downloaded some java update for downloading support from Ontrack. SInce then firefox will not attach pdf files to my e-mail. not using g-mail, using yahoo. Windows XP. It will add small files (11kb) but just grinds on a 851kb file and never attaches it.If I choose to unclick "enable java" - the "attach files" box disappears from the attach files menu.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

  • Safari will not open pdf files.

    Safari will not open pdf files, instead I get a blank grey screen. How can I get a viewable and downloadable screen/file? Tried Alt/Option to view and it doesn't work either. Firefox and Chrome will not work either.

    For Mac check the Safari preferences.
    General to set the options for opening links from applications.
    Tabs to set the other options.
    Hold down the command key to open any link in a new tab.
    Sorry, gave up windows several years ago.

  • HP 7780 All in One Printer will not print PDF files!!!

    I have an HP 7780 All in One printer setup as a network printer.  It will copy, scan, and print everything except PDF files.  Why will it not print PDF files?  You send a PDF file to print.  The printer spins up like its about to start printing and then nothing.  No error message or nothing.  Nothing even shows up in the print queue as waiting to print.

    Happy Monday edam. Green is actually the result of two or more color mixed together. Lets try printing a self test report:
    Make sure the All-in-One is on and loaded with unused, plain, white paper.
    Press Setup . The Setup Menu appears.
    Press the down arrow button to select Tools , and then press OK .
    Select Self-test Report , and press OK . The self-test report prints.
    Let me know the results of the self test. Are all the colors present on the self test or are you missing specific colors?
    Thanks!

  • Adobe reader will not open pdf files I have saved as, or, export as pdf to my desktop (latest Maverick). The same file does open when I am on the source website (i.e. user manuals etc.). Why?

    Adobe reader will not open pdf files I have saved as, or, export as pdf to my desktop (latest Maverick). The same file does open when I am on the source website (i.e. user manuals etc.). Why?

    Make sure you have the latest Adobe Reader installed for your OS.

    Did you try using Preview. If you control click on the PDF on your desktop you can use the "open with" option.

  • Firefox will not open pdf files & changes the options/applications settings?

    At first, with default settings, Firefox would not open pdf files & came up only with a blank screen & no file reference. Going to options/applications & changing the default to a new installation of Adobe Reader still brought up a blank screen but this time with the file ref. Oddly though, attempting to open any pdf file would then change the setting under applications back to Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox). But this doesn't work. So what do I need to do to get Firefox to open pdf files correctly using Adobe Reader?

    See if either of these support article help you.

  • Adobe Reader will not read pdf files on internet

    I have lastest version of Adobe reader on a new mac running OS 10 Maverick. This has latest safari (7.0.1) as my internet browser. My adobe reader reads pdf files already present on my desktop, but will not read pdf files from the internet even after I allow "trust" this site. Can anyone help me to resolve the issue please. Is it a bug that Adobe has not solved??

    Sorry if you did not understand my instructions.
    Regarding bullet point 4: Check Reader >Preferences > Internet > Web Browser Options> The blessed app should be " /Applications/Adobe Reader.app"
    You specified that you don't see the path, then it might be some problem in your installation.
    Please see the attached image and let me know what you see on your system.
    Regarding bullet point 5: Load PDF in Safari.
    This means open any PDFs in Safari web browser.
    Please make sure the below highlighted plug-ins are installed on your system by going to the specified path. And make sure the version of the below two plug-ins are 11.0.06. You can find the version by selecting the plugin and hit Command+i.
    Go to your Main Hard Disk/Library/ Internet Plug-Ins/ AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin
    Go to your Main Hard Disk/Library/ Internet Plug-Ins/ AdobePDFViewer.plugin
    Please let me know if these help.
    Thank You

    Make sure you have updated Acrobat X to the latest version 10.1.3.  They updated the PDF plug-in in 10.1.1:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83708/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_ 10.1.1.pdf#page=4

  • Can not print PDF file at all with Windows Vista

    I have Acrobat Reader 9.3.2.  I am working off of Windows Vista on my laptop to a network wireless printer (Brother MFC 9440).  I am unable to print pdf files.  About a week ago, we had problems with our printer printing anything.  I had to uninstall it and reinstalled it and it now works fine except the pdf files. I have had no problems printing any other files on any other programs but this one.  I am unsure what specific "updates" I ran while trying to figure out printers issue.  When in Reader, everything seems normal.  When I hit print, the printer box pops up as normal and then I hit ok, my printer icon at bottom pops up for about 5 secs and nothing happens.  I know that I am connected to printer due to all other programs can print.  I do not have access to another printer to see if pdf will print on another printer, but do know that the other two computers used in this office (mac laptop and mac desktop) both are able to print pdf files to this printer without a problem.  I have gone thru all the other help steps to try to resolve the situation:  it still will not print when I hit "print as image", made sure that my printer is marked as network and is default printer, made sure to check that I have all upgrades, etc.  I am not getting any error message, so am unsure what is wrong.  It just will not print.  Is there anyone that could give me some suggestions that I have not tried?  I would REALLY appreciate it! Thanks!

    Another user experience exactly the same issue with vista and printing from Adobe reader.

    My Aunty lives 70 miles away so will not be trying anything else.

  • Even I have the latest version of Adober reader I still can not open pdf file on safari

    Save the file locally, open the Reader application and try to open it from there. If it still doesn't work provide the full details of your OS, Reader version and the exact error message you're getting when you try to open the file.
