Manual hyperlinks in Excel

Excel 2003 SP3 Acrobat 7.0.9
"WWW.Adobe.com" in a cell creates a hyperlink that when converted to PDF will take you to the web site.
"Adobe" in a cell, selected, www.Adobe.com manually created as a hyperlink and converted to PDF does not hyperlink. It is blue and underlined, but when you put your cursor on it you never get the pointing index finger. Is this a bug or is there a fix?

I've tried a number of ways, with several different products but typically, I use the "Save to Adobe PDF" option in Excel and then Convert to PDF.
If there is another way that yields gets around this issue, please let me know.

Hyperlinks from Excel 2010 to external programm

Hello!
I have Microsoft Office 2010.
I am interested in addition hyperlinks to pivot table in Excel, which can mouve to the external web application (Global Specification System - the system of documentation management).
1. How can I add hyperlinks to pivot table?
2. When I add hyperlink to ordinary Excel table (to the certain document), the hyperlink mouves me not to the certain document, but to the start page.
Please let me know if you have any ideas how to realize this.

We cannot add hyperlinks to pivot Table directly, but we can use some VBA code to create fake hyperlinks in a pivot table,refer to the link below to learn how to get it work:
http://www.pivot-table.com/2013/11/06/create-fake-hyperlinks-in-excel-pivot-table/
On your second question, if your hyperlink works fine in browser, please see :

Opening Hyperlinks inside Excel WebAccess webpart in the Same Window

I was trying to access Excel Web parts hyperlink like below, but this solution is not working for me.
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".ewr-sheetcontainer a").each(function(){
$(this).attr("onclick","openLink(this)");
function openLink(Atagproperties)
Atagproperties.target = "_self";
Problem is .ewr-sheetcontainer has role="Presentation" atttribute,
which says it will delete the contents from accessible tree.
Is this the reason it is not working for me? or Am I missing anything?
Appreciate your help on this. Thanks, Maddy

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to set the hyperlink in Excel Access Web Part opening in the same window.
As the excel access web part is dynamic loading after the page load, so when the page has loaded, the excel web part element has not been loaded completely.
I suggest you can use setInterval method to run function circularly until the excel access web part has loaded in the page.
Here is a code snippet for your reference:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var $a;
var interval;
$(document).ready(function(){
interval = setInterval(ready, 1000);
function ready()
$a = $('div.cv-nwl a');
if($a.html()!=null)
$a.attr('target','_self');
clearInterval(interval);
</script>
Thanks

Hyperlink in Excel cell

Is it possible to write hyperlink in each cell of Excel (report 6 and/or 10) in a way to run hyperlink after run report with one mouse click on the cell (active hyperlink) when excel is displayed.
I was trying with this example below but without succes beside this I can not find any solution on metalink:
Re: Hyperlink Related Issue
function F_enameFormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
if :ename = 'SMITH' then
srw.set_hyperlink('http://www.smith.com');
elsif :ename = 'JONES' then
srw.set_hyperlink('http://www.jones.com');
end if;
return (TRUE);
end;

nagornyi, that is the problem, because I must type Enter if I want to make hyperlink active! So it is not enought just writing tekst but type Enter as well. Try to do this and tell me if I'm wrong.

Error message when clicking hyperlink in Excel file

Hi all,
I am working on SSRS 2012. In main report having hyperlink. When click this hyperlink in browser (IE 11 or Chrome), it open sub report correctly.
But once i download the main report to Excel 2013 and click hyperlink, it can't open sub report.
I am getting following error message in Excel file.
Unable to open "http://...". Cannot download the information you requested.
In SSRS 2005, it is working fine.
How can i fix this issue in SSRS 2012?
Thanks,
Raja Shekhar Reddy

Hi Raja,
After testing the issue in my environment, I can reproduce the error message in Excel 2013. When the user who have no access to the report, it would display the error message that “Unable to open "http://...". Cannot download the information you requested.”
when he click the hyperlink in Excel. So we can try to directly type the URL in browser to make sure the users have view permission to the report.

Hope this helps.

9.3.4 Update Broke HyperLinks to Excel Spread Sheets located on Same Domain.

I have created company procedural documents in PDF using Adobe Pro 9.3.3.
These procedures contain hyperlinks to Excel spreadsheets that are located on an Internal Domain File Server. When I click on the Hyperlink using Adobe Reader 9.3.3, Excel launches and opens the spreadsheet . Adobe Reader or Adobe Pro 9.3.4 won’t open the link. Adobe 9.3.4 pops up a Window saying the spread sheet cannot be found, make sure you type the name correctly so on and so on. I Click OK on the first pop up, a second Adobe Pop-up window opens saying "Could Not Open the file" followed by the correct path to the spread sheet. I just tested it on a computer running Adobe Reader 9.3.3 and the hyperlinks worked fine. I then Upgraded Adobe Reader to 9.3.4, absolutely no other changes, and the hyperlinks no longer work..Same pop up..Cannot find .xls"..."Could not open .xls"..
Hyperlink syntax being used is \\servername\sharename\folder\spreadsheet.xls . So what setting do I need to chase down in 9.3.4 to correct this? What changed in 9.3.4 from 9.3.3?

We are experiencing a similar problem with Reader 9.3.4
We have training products produced in Acrobat 6, as PDFs which have hyperlinks to run Flash movies (SWFs). The products are installed from CD onto users' hard drives.
The products have worked on hundreds of PCs and Macs, but as each customer updates to Reader 9.3.4 they report failure to open the SWFs.
The SWFs are organised in a hierarchy of folders depending on exact topic. All the movies are inside a "data" folder, then main topic folders, down to sub-topic folders.
I have found that the PDF hyperlinks will open a copy of the relevant SWF if it is placed in the same folder as the calling PDF, but not when it is in its rightful position down the path.
The initial error message shown when files are in their correct folders says e.g. "Cannot find anchoring_one.swf" suggesting that only the filename is called and not the path. However the second message, displayed when the first is acknowledged, says e.g. "Cannot open data/anchoring/anchoring_one.swf" So the hyperlink IS outputting the full path, but somehow it it is being truncated to file name only.
Seems that the call is produced from the hyperlink correctly, and registers with the system as full path. Then the call is passed forward to a function which should actually open the file and here loses its path, so file-open fails and returns a "Cannot Find" message. The return code from this function is passed back as a failure, to the prior function which still knows the path. This prior function then issues the "Cannot Open" message, including the full path.
Is is totally impractical for us to rewrite and re-issue the programs in any other format, or stop thousands of independent customers from upgrading to Reader 9.3.4
I hope Adobe can fix this issue VERY quickly.

Create Hyperlink in Excel

Hi all,
I looked through the excel examples that ship with labview. I found out how to get data into excel cells and read from them. But I still look out how to create a hyperlink that is connected to a text in an excel cell. I think this could be done without using the report generation toolkit, that I don't have.
Best Regards,
Toni

Using Apache POI 3.2 to create hyperlinks in Excel

Hello,
I am new to Java.
I have written a program that accesses Excel with the Apache POI version 3.2.
All seems to work until I tried to insert a Hyperlink to a file on the local drive.
I followed the quick start guide from Apache POI.
It provides the following code but Java does not appear to find the "createHelper".
//link to a file in the current directory
cell = sheet.createRow(1).createCell((short)0);
cell.setCellValue("File Link");
link = createHelper.createHyperlink(Hyperlink.LINK_FILE);
link.setAddress("link1.xls");
cell.setHyperlink(link);
cell.setCellStyle(hlink_style);
Any ideas on how to insert a Hyperlink into Excel would be appreciated.
Thanks
Chris

Hyperlinks in excel don't allow user to save file in adobe reader

I created a fillable form for users who have adobe reader. Form works. Users can fill the form in and save it (with same name). When users try to access this same form thru a hyperlink in excel, they are not allowed to save the filled in form using the same name. Can this be corrected?

Hello,
Adobe Acrobat is used to design and edit forms, while Adobe Reader is only for reading.
Once you reader extend any form, actually you enable some usage rights on that particular form and once you open that form in Reader, you will be able to perform the action that you have enabled.
So the first thing is the end user must have Reader not Acrobat, otherwise no use of reader extending the form.
Now to your question..
If you design form in LiveCycle designer, you can use validate element to prevent save, put this in XML source like below.
<config>
   <present>
      <validate>preSave</validate>
   </present>
</config>
If you are designing form in Acrobat itself, you can use script to disable menu items.
For details please look in this blog.

Possible to create a hyperlink in excel to a bookmark in a PDF?

My boss would like to be able to click on a hyperlink in excel, and it would take him directly to a bookmarked item in a PDF. After searching I've come up empty handed. Is this even possible? He swears he's seen it done before, but then again, he's been wrong in the past - so who knows.
Any help is appreciated!

No, it's not possible.

How to keep hyperlink from excel to PDF?

I have some Hyperlinks in excel, and when i convert to PDF, they dont work.
I already installed the Adobe Acrobat PRO XI (Trial version)
How can i do this?
tks

Step 1. Install PDF Editor
1) Download PDF Editor and install this software by double clicking the exe file. During the installation, please follow installation message and choose the right option according to your needs.
2) Once the installation finishes, there will be an icon on the desktop. Please launch this software by double clicking the icon.
Step 2. Remove Hyperlinks from PDF
1) The following snapshot is from the software interface. Please click option Open to add PDF file to software interface. Or you can simply drag PDF file to software interface.
2) Please find option Edit Link then click it. The mouse will turn to cross. Please drag area around the picture which will lead you to website.
3) Then there will be red rectangle frame around it. Right click the red frame and choose Property in the dropdown list. Then you will see the dialogue box like I showed in the left named Link Properties. Here you can set link actions, like open a page in a document, open a file or open a website file. Those options are useful when you need to add hyperlinks. Meanwhile it is helpful when you need to remove hyperlinks.
4) If there is link on the image, the link will be shown on the Property tab. Please simply remove it here and then click button OK to back to the main interface.
5) By this way, the link will be removed successfully.

Displaying hyperlinks in excel?

Hi all,
I am creating an application using BSP wherein i have to export the data to the Excel sheet through the BSP application. I am able to export the data from tables to the excel but there are some hyperlink entries in the database tables which i need to fetch and display in the excel. The problem is excel is not displaying those web addresses like "www.sap.com" as hyperlink.I tried to concatenate it with ' http:// ' , but its not converting the values into hyperlinks. Can anybody please suggest how to display the hyperlink values from database table into the excel sheet?
Thanks in Advance,
Mahima.

Hi Anita,
Please have a look at the following piece of code that i am using for concatenating hyperlink values with
"=HYPERLINK....". But, still its not converting the values into hyperlink.
the code is as below:
data: s1 type c length 60 value '=HYPERLINK("http:// ',
          s2 type c length 20 value '","sap")'.
      SELECT SINGLE VALUE INTO WA_VALUE FROM ZGKB_ASSCI WHERE PAFID =
      WA_FEATURE-PAFID AND COUNTRY_INDIC = WA_COUNTRY-LAND1.
      Append wa_value to itab_pdf.
***********For displaying the hyperlinks in excel.
        if wa_value CP ' www.. '
            concatenate s1 wa_value s2 into wa_value.
        endif.
          LOOP AT ITAB_COUNTRY INTO WA_COUNTRY.
           SELECT SINGLE VALUE INTO WA_VALUE FROM ZGKB_ASSCI WHERE PAFID =
           WA_FEATURE-PAFID AND COUNTRY_INDIC = WA_COUNTRY-LAND1.
           CONCATENATE L_STRING   wa_value
           CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB INTO L_STRING SEPARATED BY
           CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.
          endloop.
I think it's almost similar to what your code is doing.But it is not converting the values to hyperlink.
Could you please help me with this.
Thanks and Regards,
Mahima.

Hyperlinks in Excel not working when doing the PDF Convert

I have worked on this and worked on this. Now I am at a point where I need assistance as I am stumped. I have about 20 different facilities that have financial statements that need to be published in Adobe as a PDF format and when I go through the steps to convert everything looks good, except the links are not working. We have about 62-74 pages that will be exported and due to the departments and such we need the links to work.
This is through Excel-
I select the worksheets I want to convert then after it is done I open the PDF and the links are not working. To set them up manually in Adobe is too labor intensive -- any ideas on how to get this to work?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide me.

I am on the X version.
I am using the PDFMaker
Using either 2003 or 2010 Excel version
Click on making bookmarks and links
I can send an attachment, please beware that is it financial information that cannot be published-also the hyperlinks are setup in Excel as well.
Not sure how to upload the worksheet and would prefer to send via email if at all possible.
ANY HELP is GREATLY Appreciated :-)
Thank you and have a great day!

Hyperlinks in Excel output

I've seen many conversations on this topic but never a satisfactory solution. So, I have excel hyperlinks that are built from an equation something like = Hyperlink(A3,"View"), where "A3" is the URL address (e.g., www.example.com) in a hidden column. The idea is to display the hyperlink "View" in the column rather than the actual URL, which can run 40+ characters long.
When a .PDF is generated from this excel file, the hyperlink does not work. My understanding is that this is because Adobe is unable to recognize the Excel equation as being a hyperlink. One way around this is to copy the column with he equation into another program, such as MS Word and then copy it back into Excel. When the column is "laundered" through Word, Adobe can now recognize the formula as a hyperlink.
Unfortunately, when generating a lot of these documents with hundreds of hyperlinks, it is a slow, manual process.
Is there a way to have pdf that recognize the equation "=hyperlink(..." as a hyperlink in the pdf document?
Thanks
PS: I was also trying to do this with hyperlinks in Tableau, but figured the Excel was the more likely to have a solution.

I've tried a number of ways, with several different products but typically, I use the "Save to Adobe PDF" option in Excel and then Convert to PDF.
If there is another way that yields gets around this issue, please let me know.
