Make TOC topics clickable links

In my Word doc, I have the TOC set up so that a user can CTRL+click any item in the TOC and move directly to that page. But when I convert the file to pdf, the TOC items are not clickable. How can I keep that function available in the pdf file? Many thanks for any help provided!

If you are using the PDFMaker installed by Acrobat to create your PDF file, you can choose to export with bookmarks into a PDF. The bookmarks are clickable.
In Acrobat Help, look for Bookmarks.

How do I make multiple plain text links active (clickable) at once?

I'm running Number 3.5.2 and I deal with a lot of documents that have long lists of URLs. Anytime I open a xls or numbers doc that already has the URLs pasted in, they're listed in plain text and not clickable. Is there a way that I can select all of them and make them active links, or at least do it in some reasonably scalable fashion?
I've found how to use the "Add link" or even the "Open URL" options using the right click menu. And I know about changing the character style to "Link" to make it active. But these options are only available if I click and highlight the specific content in a single cell. It doesn't allow me to select multiple cells and make the change.
I've also tried copying the URLs out of Numbers and into another program (text edit, email) but not too long ago it stopped letting me paste back in active links.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi jroos,
The HYPERLINK function in another column.
From the Function Browser:
The HYPERLINK function creates a clickable link that opens a webpage or new email message.
HYPERLINK(url, link-text)
url: A standard universal resource locator. url is a string value that must contain a properly formatted universal resource locator string.
link-text: An optional string value that specifies the text that appears as a clickable link in the cell. If link-text is omitted, url is used as link-text.
Formula in C2 (and Fill Down)
=HYPERLINK(B2)
Then select Column C
Copy
Menu > Edit > Paste Formula Results
Delete Column B

Is it possible to make clickable links in PSE 11?

Hello!
I am hoping someone will be able to help me. I have created a project in PSE 11- it's meant to be a booklet, and I would like to add clickable links to the project, by way of live links, as well as making parts of the project clickable. The goal is to make it a Tumblr post, and save the multiple pages as an Adobe Acrobat pdf file.
My weak Google-fu tells me that I need to use the slicing tool, but I don't think that is available in Elements? Is there any way around this?
I would really appreciate any advice!
Thank you

No, sorry. PSE is primarily a photo editor with limited text capabilities, meant more for putting captions on photos and that sort of thing. It is not really intended for use as a page layout program.

Acrobat's Link tool permits creating links.
The discussion on using this tool starts with the following page in Acrobat's Help:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7cb8.w.h tml
Good to know --- WP is not supported by Acrobat as WP uses its own process to output PDF.
How to use this is discussed in the WP community support forums that Corel maintains.
A wealth of information there.
Be well...

How Do I Make Bitmap, Graphic, or Movie Clip into a clickable link??

I am designing a website entirely in flash (macromedia flash) but I cannot get the bitmap, graphics, or movie clips clickable links, although when hovered over turns into a hand. Any suggestions? I have also tried the following script;
on (release){
getURL("http://www.google.com/", "_blank")
Obviously I didnt use google, but still no go.
I'm hot linking the raw fla file below. I bought this template online and have modified it alot (all cosmetic) but I cant get the tabs to be links!? I used action script (the one posted above) in every layer and the text inside the tabs. But still doesnt work Does anybody know whats wrong?
Sorry, but I dont know much in action script, I'm a c++ and web designer, this is my first time working in only flash.
http://www.hotlinkfiles.com/files/2449178_iizru/_menu2_fv8.fla
Here is my modded template in my website: http://9karim.com/adminI only need to modify the menu bar

I wouldn't say you're screwed, you just have some work ahead of you to find out what are actually the buttons in that thing. If you look at the file on stage you'll see a large turquoise shape (an invisible button) that when you select it shows it has an instance name of "menu"... I still couldn't figure out what it has to do with those animated tabs, but it may lead to further discoveries.
There's a lot of stuff woven into that file, and with the frame by frame animation, it's hard to isolate just about anything. Based on what I see in the library as far as object naming goes, and your not knowing what's where, I'd conclude that this is an "acquired" design that has been decompiled into the fla you are trying to figure out. While I haven't any experience with decompiled files, it wouldn't surprise me if there is an increased level of complexity as a result of how the decompiler rebuilt the file.

How to make a clickable link into a JOptionPane

Hi all,
I've created a about menu for my app with a JOptionPane and I'd like to know if I can insert a clickable link to my email on this, so when the user clicks it, it will have the same effect as it would have on a web browser.
Is it possible?

Yes.... You can put other things besides strings into JOptionPanes. Such as you can put a JEditorPane that displays some HTML, which can in turn have links in it. Or buttons that look like links.
But I've also had problems in modal dialogs in some cases where clicking the links in HTML doesn't work correctly (the HyperTextEvent doesn't get fired).
As for same effect... Well, it's usually more complicated than that. Applets are simple (Applet.showDocument(), or AppletContext, whatever it is). Otherwise you need to do something different. Search the forums for posts on launching URLs from applications, there's plenty o' info.

Air Help topic navigation links broken

I've logged this as a bug, but was wondering if anyone else has run into this problem.
When generating the "Air Help and Browser Based Help" output format (and uploading the browser files to the web server and installing the AirHelp application), the navigation links that appear above the help window and below the search bar/navigation buttons are broken. The example below shows the uni-pane template, but the problem occurs with all templates.
Upon clicking the first or second topic link (in the red circled area), this displays "The page cannot be found" and the navigation links themselves disappear.
I noticed that the problem only exists when the topics in the Project Manager are organized into subfolders. If all the topics in the Project Manager reside in the top-level folder, the links navigate properly. Also, the links are only clickable when in online mode, not in local mode. I've been unable to either disable the navigation links entirely, or make them un-clickable in online mode.
I'm running RH9, Windows 7 (64-bit).
Any help would be appreciated.

I am not sure what the problem is at this stage but I don't think it is a bug as no one else has hit the problem.
Please open one of the sample projects and generate some AIR help from that to establish the links work there. That rules out a bug and tells us it is something in your project. What it is will still need to be determined but we will know we are looking in the right place.
Probably the first thing I would do is apply another skin and not make any changes to the default.
Post back how you get on. I'm going offline soon but will pick up your reply tomorrow if no one else has waded in.

I downloaded the newest version of Firefox and now I can not use any of the clickable link tabs in yahoo mail, gmail, or hotmail. Do you know what is causing this.

Go to msn.com for example: at the top of their page they have clickable link to hotmail. When I upgraded to Firefox 7 this link no longer works. Same thing happens with my yahoo mail, gmail and hotmail. If you open up yahoo mail for example; I can not click on the signout tab.... it doesn't function with firefox 7. I worked prior to uploading new version. I don't have that problem on my windows 7 platform.

That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links in that part of the screen not clickable.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Can a Quicktime file download from clickable link?

Quicktime file download to desktop from clickable link?
I have large movies that I want to make available for direct download to the desktop so people will click download and do something else.
It is my understanding that you can't provide a quicktime file for download to a desktop because there are PC/MAC and browser issues across platform. But maybe I'm wrong.
Is it possible to make a web page that allows users to download higher file size videos from a clickable link? The quicktimes are h.264 in SD + HD around 50-100 megs. The files will be so large people won't want to wait so I want it to go directly to the desktop.
So far I can only find a few similar options
1) Embed the file in a web page. Provide a download link after the movie loads.
(This option requires you to load the file into the page. Users may not wait and close it)
2) Provide a zip file. This allows you to create a clickable link to the zip which begins downloading upon clicking. You then unzip the file. (Some less computer savvy people may get confused by the zip)
3) Put a raw file on server. This will play the movie in a blank window but can also be right clicked for direct download.

Welcome to the discussions, jessestudio.
I've seen a few sites that have a link to the video with instructions to "Right-click to download". Essentially, it's option three with instructions. It seems to be a fairly common way of handling it. (Even for non-QuickTime movies)

Clickable/Linked Text in Java Applet

Hi,
I have always liked this tool http://link-verify.sourceforge.net/index.en.html and have always wanted to modify it to make the "referer" clickable so that I could easily click to link to the page that had the broken link more easily.
The source code is available and well with the hard economic times I have time to finally modify this to work how I would like.
Can anyone tell me how I would go about accomplishing this? I am a seasoned ASP.NET programmer and understand the overall logic, etc... It is just the Java syntax that I am missing.
Basically I can discern that in source code, LinkFrame.java to be exact on line 308 the "referreeP" panel is being populated with a refL=new List(), where refL is a List that is populated as each link is processed as the applet runs.
How can I make each of those items in the refL list clickable is my primary question for you all. Do I have to use some sort of listener on each item in the list, is that even the right approach to take.
Any and all thoughts appreciated!
PS - I want to shout out to Ralf Wiebicke for creating this wonderful tool, it has been a wonderful developer tool for me over the years.

If you check the JavaDocs for List, you will notice it has methods [addActionListener(ActionListener|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/List.html#addActionListener(java.awt.event.ActionListener)] ) and [addItemListener(ItemListener)|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/List.html#addItemListener(java.awt.event.ItemListener)]. Either of those listeners will detect actions/selections on the List.
As for showing the links, look to [AppletContext.showDocument(URL)|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/applet/AppletContext.html#showDocument(java.net.URL)].
As an aside, the AWT widgets such as List are very old-hat. If you wanted to take on a bigger upgrade, you might convert the app. to use Swing.

InDesign CS6 ePub. TOC is not linked

Hello
using InDesign CS6 8.0.2
created the TOC and inserted at the begin of the book
exporting as ePub 2.0.1 the inserted TOC is not linked to the page/chapter so I can't click on it to navigate the ebook.
What can I check?

Hi,
Table of Contents if placed in InDesign is treated like any other story and is exported just like another text frame. This behavior is improved in InDesign CC and the TOC links are now intact in exported EPUB. All that is required is to check the option "Make text anchor in source paragraph" in Table of Contents dialog (this option was added in CC version) while creating TOC.
If you are looking for creating navigational TOC (one which is not placed in ID and is available in EPUB) in InDesign CS6, it can be created by selecting the TOC style from the TOC style dropdown available in EPUB Export Options dialog.
Please let me know if there are queries. I would be glad to assist you!

Does Keynote allow you to create clickable links in pdf files yet?

I searched the forum and found a similar question that was asked back in 2005, and with newer versions of Keynote now available I hope I'm not posting a duplicate question here.
I would like to be able to use iWork's Keynote to make small, business-type cards for downloads as .pdf files and I'd like to include a clickable website url or email link, if possible.
How about doing this in Pages? I haven't used pages yet but I presume you can save the files as pdf's?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
An afterthough - if I need Acrobat to do this is there a large learning curve involved?
I see many 'Viral eBooks' and brochures being created for and by PC users, and when I download them the links are clickable on the Mac. You see lots of programs for PC's being advertised that are supposed enable you to to this, but none for the Mac. I'm hesitant to invest in Acrobat as I only want to do one or two business card type pdfs with clickable links.

Hi Annie,
I ran a quick test and Keynote exported a slide with both a clickable link to an email address and a website. After printing to PDF (command-P/Save as PDF), there were no clickable links.
As far as I know, you need at least Mac OS X 10.4.4 for this to work, and of course Keynote 3.

Making a Datagrid with clickable links

I'm trying to pull an XML list into a Flash file (got that
part) and make each item in the resulting datagrid list a link to
different PDF files (that's the part I DON'T have). I would think
you'd build the url right into the XML, but I can't figure out how
to use it to make the cells clickable. Any help would be much
appreciated.

Ok, I am about ready to pull my hair out on this (not a lot
to spare, either!). Without giving me the code (I do want to figure
this out for myself...mostly), can you answer the following:
I can obviously figure out how to tie a mouse click event to
the datagrid, but how do I tie the mouse click to a specific FIELD
in the datagrid and grab the data in that field? If I can do that,
I should able to then yank the data from that particular XML item
by comparing the "clicked" cell value to the values listed in the
XML file, and then throwing the url listed in that piece of XML to
a getURL in Flash. But I just cannot for the life of me figure out
how to tell which cell in the datagrid was clicked. Yikes!!
Ok, in continued research, I DID figure out how to tell which
cell is being clicked using ListEvent to tell me the rowIndex and
columnIndex. Now, how do I pull the VALUE of that cell out??

Random Image with Clickable Link

Hey guys so far I found a code that lets me randomize an image and I found out a piece of code that makes the image clickable but I do not know how to add a specific link to each specific image.
Here is the code:
<head> <script language="JavaScript">
var theImages = new Array()
theImages[0] = 'Accounting Cartoon1.jpg'
theImages[1] = 'Accounting Cartoon2.jpg'
var j = 0
var p = theImages.length;
var preBuffer = new Array()
for (i = 0; i < p; i++){
preBuffer[i] = new Image()
preBuffer[i].src = theImages[i]}
var whichImage = Math.round(Math.random()*(p-1));
function showImage(){
document.write('<a href="link.html"><img src="'+theImages[whichImage]+'"></a>');}
//-->
</script>

anyone have an idea?

Clickable Link in TextEdit

Can you make a URL in TextEdit Clickable
With this Script there is no Clickable link. Did not see anything in the dictionary but thought some Shell Script or something.
tell application "Safari"
set myUrl to URL of front document
set Toy to name of front document
end tell
tell application "TextEdit"
if document 1 exists then
set text of document 1 to text of document 1 & Toy & return & myUrl & return & "===============================" & return
else
make new document
set text of document 1 to text of document 1 & Toy & return & myUrl & return & "===============================" & return
end if
end tell
Made this for X-Mas Shopping but need to do some refining
Thanks

The way I would do this is to make an HTML document (Webpage) and use AppleScript to edit it. Here's how.
First, run the following script to make the file.
set mypath to (path to desktop) & "GiftList.html" as string
set thefile to open for access file mypath with write permission
write "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN\" \"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd\">
<html xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\">
<head>
<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=UTF-8\" />
<title>Xmas List</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
" to thefile
close access thefile
Set myPath where you want the file. Change the "Xmas List" text to the name of the document as you want it to appear in the title bar of Safari.
Next, replace the entire TextEdit part of your script with the below (keep your Safari script above this).
set giftPath to (path to desktop as string) & "GiftList.html"
set giftFile to open for access file giftpath with write permission
set giftText to read giftFile
set oldD to AppleScript's text item delimiters as string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "</body>" as string
set bBody to first text item of giftText
set aBody to return & "</body>" & return & second text item of giftText
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldD as string
set toAdd to "<p>" & Toy & "<br/>" & return & "<a href=\"" & myUrl & "\">Link</a>" & "<br/>" & return & "<hr/>" & return & "</p>"
set eof of giftFile to 0
write bBody & toAdd & aBody to giftFile
close access giftFile&lt&
Set giftPath to the path you used earlier (where you put the file you made).
This will make a new paragraph with the text of your Toy variable. Then, on a new line, it will put a link to the site in your myUrl variable. It will also add a horizontal bar between toys.
To add more items, just run the second script again. Added entries will appear below existing ones.
Let me know if you have any questions or want help modifying this.
Good luck!
-Nate
