Multiple links in a pdf document

i have a pdf document that is viewed online and has multiple links to it. I would like the customer to click the link and 2 things to happen. 1. a web page opens, and 2. a sepearte pdf opens so that when you close the pdf, the web page is the active document. I want this to all happen in new tab in the browser theyre using. I dont know much about javascript but any help as to why i cant get the links to open properley or the documents opening in new windows instead of tabs would be greatley appreciated.

Depending on what other text you might have, you could use the data list component.
To get the text to have underlines, you will need to edit the repeated item. You can also adjust colors and fonts as well. The default rollover and selected states will probably not be the UI that want, so make sure you change those as well.
Now for the interactivity, select the datalist, and use the interactions panel, choose "On Select", then "Go To Url", the trick is to make sure the "When a specific item is selected" is also set. Here are the basic settings to get your links working:
Add new interactions for each item you want to be functional.

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

How do I scan multiple pages into one pdf document on a HP Envy 4501 Printer

My HP Envy 4501 Printer won't let me scan multiple pages into one pdf document.
I went to "Advanced Settings", clicked on "file" and made sure that the check box next to "Create a separate file for each scanner page" was unchecked.
When I clicked the Save button it showed the page that I scanned and showed 1/1. On the right side it had options for changing the brightness and Contrast, Rotate and Crop and "Back", "Save" and "Done" buttons, but nothing about scanning another page.
Not to mention HP's Customer Support is useless!
I'd appreciate any help I can get with this problem.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi BH,
I see your diagram. I just scanned something. The screen that I'm looking at right now shows the preview page and the scroll box to the left of that just like in your diagram. The screen does not show the + button nor does it show the red x button under the scroll box as in your diagram. I can't see the plus sign because it is not there.
I tried re-installing the software and drivers as you suggested but that did not have any affect.
Thank you for trying to help me with this problem but it hasn't worked, therefore I can't mark the reply "Accept as Solution".
I've noticed that on HP's support forum web page there is only 1 solved request for assistance. That doesn't give me much confidence in HP.
Please reply back to this post to let me know if there is anything else that I can try or if you know someone else at HP that can help.
If I don't here back from you, I'm returning this HP Envy 4501 Printer to get my money back to use it to buy a printer from one of HP's competitors.
Thanks,
Mark

How to I set an internal link in a PDF document using Preview? After setting a link under the Tools/Annotations menu, the link doesn't work and no detailed instructions are provided.

How to I set an internal link in a PDF document using Preview? After setting a link under the Tools/Annotations menu, the link doesn't work and no detailed instructions are provided via the Help menu other than it showing the pull-down menu selection to make.

No. I am able to use the other features such as underlining, highlighting, adding rectangles and oval and save those changes.

Styling links for a PDF document

Hello!
I am trying to style my links for this PDF document. They should signal "go forward" or "more information here" in the simplest, most minimalistic manner. Now, I know I've seen symbols like these before, I just can't for the life of me remember where. Anyhow here's my attempt at recreating them:
The blue text gets underlined when the mouse hovers it. The symbol stays the same though.
So what do you guys think? How'd you wanna improve them?
Many thanks!

Also, yesterday the lines around my text field and text boxes....mysteriously disappeared.
Can someone pls tell me how to get them back as I use them to line up my objects.
Thanks~

Import multiple records into a PDF document?

I'm not sure I'm using the correct terms, but let me spell out my problem.
I have a PDF document with several text forms named with the same names as columns in an Excel spreadsheet saved into txt format.
The forms are duplicated onto several pages so if there are five records in the spreadsheet, there are five pages in the PDF.
I am able to open the PDF and choose Import Form Data and point to the Excel txt file.
But in the Import Data from Delimited Text File dialog box, I am only able to choose one record at a time.
I was hoping to be able to import multiple records onto multiple pages. This way I could do a bulk printing of the spreadsheet data into the PDF. But doing one record at a time is cumbersome and won't work as we expand the project.
Any clues as to how to do this better?

John,
I don't have the actual client's data as that is proprietary.
I do have two silly little test files that I put together, but I think you've answered my question.
I've already told the client to use Word (gasp) and Excel with a mail merge and then export to PDF or print directly.
Ironically this could have also been done with InDesign.
But as much as I had to recommend Word, it was nice that the client started out by wanting PDF.

Multiple link of the same document

1.I heard that when I buy a windows server, there comes also a free edition/foundation edition of sharepoint. Is it right?
2. When I upload a document to the free edition of sharepoint, is there any position for me also to enter the metadata of the document to facilitate future searching of the document? Please show me some screenshots.
3. Under ambiguous circumstances where a document can be put into two locations/folders, people suggest to set a multiple link to this document, so that when I click the link inside either one of the folders, I can get the same document. It means there is
no need to upload the same document to both folders. It is not simply a normal shortcut which we usually come across in window explorer. Can Sharepoint do this?

1. Yes, it's called SharePoint Foundation Server.
2. Of course, this is a core functionality of SharePoint. See
https://www.google.nl/search?q=sharepoint+document+library+metadata+screenshot&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=d9nIU6usNofGPNG6gPAF&ved=0CB8QsAQ&biw=1400&bih=748 for screenshots.
3. No, although you can use the document id service to generate a permanent link and use that link in a metadata field to refer to the source doc. Not in the free version, though

Why, when I click on an email link in a PDF document, does a new tab open?

I convert an excel spreadsheet to PDF. I click on the email link in the new document and it opens a new FF tab and two, not one, two MS outlook emails. Drives me nuts.

I have the same problem, and I also wondered if Google toolbar has anything to do with it. There GMAIL was set as the default mail application at first. I have removed that setting, but Firefox 4.0.1 continues to use GMAIL instead of Outlook which is my selection for mailto handling.

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.

Link Excel to PDF Document

I have seen lots of posts for linking a pdf to excel. Nothing related to what I want to do. We use Adobe Acrobat Profesional 7.0.9. I work with excel for bidding purposes(I am in construction) I have a bid document that has several lines where after we are done with Excel I have to hand write in my worksheet numbers on there bid form. I have the bid form scanned and I can manually type my spreasheet numbers on it but that takes a lot of time. I want to link the lines on the PDF to my spreadsheet so when I am done it is already linked to the sheet and I can just print it on there form with my numbers. I don't want to convert the pdf to an excel sheet I just want my excel to be linked to the pdf. I hope that makes sense. I am using Excel 2003 SP3.

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.

Links breaking once PDF documents packaged

Good afternoon, I'm starting off with a word document that I create hyperlinks to files and folders on a shared drive. I save the file as a PDF and all of the links work fine. But once I package the individual PDF documents into one package all of the external hyperlinks break. Internal links to bookmarks within the document itself work but anything pointing outside of the document or to other documents within the package break.
I am able to use the "tools, advanced edit" to edit the hyperlink to correct the link that points to an individual document or file, but it won't allow me to point to a folder on a shared drive. I have to select a file within the folder.
Is it possible to package the PDF's without the links breaking to begin with? If not how can I fix the links to point to a folder?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Mark

In Windows, a PDF link annotation's action does not support folders/directories as link targets.
You mention making a "package" - is this an Acrobat 8 "Package"?
If so, you would be creating an entirely new PDF that contains the selected files as attachments within the new PDF.
Having changed the "environment" any external links that any of the attached files (within the "Package" PDF) have still have the explicit link syntax to a target external to the contents of the "Package" PDF.
Or, restated - Any existing links within one attached PDF to another PDF attached within the "Package" do not have a link syntax pointing to the second PDF within the "Package".
To have a link between files in a "Package" you'd have to make them manually with the Link tool.
As to "Bookmarks" in MS Word - If within a Word file they will carry over into the output PDF.
If from one MS Word file to another they do not. All you can get is a link to the target Word file.
Note that if the link you make to the target MS Word file is explicitly to a *.doc or *.docx file that is what the target will be for the link in an output PDF.
The Word to PDF process cannot/does not change the file extension form *.doc/*.docx to *.pdf.
Be well...

I’m using version 11.0.10. So where the Menu resides in a folder ready to be burnt on to a CD, that same folder is where the links point to.
Thanks

Please Help!! Links to other PDF documents in my PDF document open in Adobe Acrobat Professional but NOT Adobe Reader XI

Hi everyone,
I really hope someone can help me with this problem. I work for a software company and we have a release coming up. Every release requires me to create a 'menu' which is what users see when they insert the release CD. I create this menu in Adobe Acrobat Professional, and add links to all the PDF manuals we have for our products. When I open the Menu in Acrobat Professional, all links open fine. When just attempting to open the links using the default Adobe Reader (which i'm guessing most of our customers will use), nothing happens, not even an error is generated. I'm ensuring I link to the documents that reside in the same folder on my directory as the menu. Is this something to do with relative/absolute links? Something to do with Reader XI, as I don't remember having this problem for our last release? Foxit also seems to work in opening the links.
Thanks

Unwanted links appearing in PDF document

This is a continuation of a question I posted on the Indesign forum http://forums.adobe.com/message/4266495#4266495
I have a document that was created in InDesign 3 and I am currently using InDesign CS5.5. When the document is printed to Adobe PDF I end up with random text that shows as a link. For instance if I hover my cursor over a table in question, the cursor changes to a hand and a box pops up displaying all of the information on the page as a web address. How do I correct this?
I have attempted to remove all hidden data in Adobe Acrobat Pro but this renders the document unsearchable. When I then run OCR the mysteries links reappear.
here is a screen capture of the issue

I am not sure that I am following your advice. The problem is i receive random links which appear on certain pages. the example above happens when I hover anywhere in the table. This particular page does have legitimate web links but when selected they also display incorrect info. I have attempted the following actions with no success: "Remove Hidden Data", "Sanitize Document", "Remove All Links" and various actions using the action wizard (publish sensitive document, create accessible PDF's).
If I add a link like you suggest then yes the link does work correctly but I have to wipe the entire document which in turn leaves the document un searchable.

How do I, or can I add a tap-to-call or tap-to-text link to a pdf document?

I'm making a pdf for my newsletter and I wanted to make my phone number a link that would brink up the dialer on a smartphone. I'd also like the email URL to bring up the email app. I now howto do this on html sites, but the code doesn't seem to be working for Acrobat. I used the create and edit link feature but still not getting the results I want. What other options do I have? my focus is reaching people on mobile devices, via digital marketing. Can someone please advise me. Thanks in advance for your help :-D

Mail does not do newsgroups. You will need a third-party news reader. There are quite a few, and you will find them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
