Opening pdf from harddisk with link

Can i set a link to a pdf-file on my harddisk in my keynote presentation? or to another document?
I am sure this question has been answered a thousand times, but i couldnt find it. sorry.

No, you can't. Well, I should say not in an easy user friendly way. Keynote allows you to link via http: which then opens Safari so if you turn on web sharing, point the http: link to localhost and your sites directory and place a file there then Safari would pop up, download the file then Preview would pop up and....
whew! This IS easier in PowerPoint because it allows direct linking to documents, Keynote doesn't. You CAN have the pdf's already open before starting your presentation and then view them that way. A little more elegant than the above.
Another question, is this meant to be a kiosk type thing for people to play around with or are you using the PDF in the presentation?

  • How to generate PDF from file with linked images

    Hi,
    did anybody met/solved problem how to create PDF form file, which contains links to another files/images using PDFGenerator? For example from FrameMaker documents which contains linked images; or from CAD files which contains linked components...
    The issue is, that the CreatePDF function moves the source file into a temporary folder, and this operations "brokes" the relative links to linked/included files.
    Regards,

  • I'm trying to open a PDF from Safari with iBooks, but when I choose "Open with ..." in Safari, only Pages and Dropbox show as options.  I'm running iOS 7.1.2 and iBooks 3.2.  Thanks for any ideas!

    On my iPad, I'm trying to open a PDF from Safari with iBooks, but when I choose "Open with ..." in Safari, only Pages and Dropbox show as options.  I'm running iOS 7.1.2 and iBooks 3.2.  I have rebooted the iPad and that did not help, and reinstalled iBooks, which also changed nothing.  Thanks for any ideas!

    Yup, it was uploaded to our school Wiki as a PDF, and Pages did open it.  I was then able to move it to iBooks, but I'd rather avoid the extra steps.

  • Unable to open pdf from some particular shared folder which is not in domain

    Encountered a strange issue here.
    We have copuple of users who login with Citrix session.
    They are able to open pdf from all the shared folders but not one which is not in domain.
    User are able to open all other files viz. doc, excel, notepad and so from that particular folder.
    Issue with all the pdf files and not only one particular file.
    Double clicking the pdf file starts the process AcroRd32.exe but the file does not open.
    If an already running AcroRd32.exe process is there (means if Adobe Reader is already open), then it's possible to open the pdf files from that folder.
    Moreover, came across one strange thing.
    I created a shortcut to one of the pdf file from that folder within the same folder.
    And it was possible to open pdf file from that shortcut but not directly :S
    Gives error: "Acrobat failed to connect DDE server" after about 20 mins if we try to open file directly.
    Googled a bit and found that issue can be resolved by navigating to
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\acrobat\shell\open\ddeexec\application and changing the Key "AcroviewA10"  to  "AcroviewR10
    But when I navigated to the mentioned registry there was no AcroviewA10 but instead it was just Acroview.
    Adobe Reader version: 9.5.5
    I will be really grateful if somebody can provide solution for this.

    What happens when you open the Adobe app, then tell it to open the file?
    How big are the attachments?  There are limitations to the size allowed to be sent:
    Email Provider
    Size Limit
    Gmail
    25Mb
    Outlook
    20Mb
    Yahoo
    25Mb
    Are you sending the files to yourself?  Not sure how you are emailing files from a website...
    Are the PDF's password-protected, or some kind of copyrighted eBook perhaps?  Can you email other files successfully, or are PDF's the only files that don't work?
    Perhaps using a free Cloud service as an intermediary might work better.

  • Can't open PDFs from Outlook Access denied

    We are trying to open PDFs from Outlook in Reader XI.  Even after disabling protected mode, continue to receive the message "There was an error opening this document.  Access denied.".  Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    A. Fix One PC
    Launch Adobe Acrobat Reader X
    Go to: Edit > Preferences...
    Click on "General" in the left pane.
    Uncheck "Enable Protected Mode at startup"
    You will prompted with a dialog box to remind you to close the application for the change to go into effect. Click Yes.
    Click OK to save your change.
    Exit Adobe Reader
    B. Fix Several PCs in Your Organization
    Following the above steps aren't practical if you have Adobe Acrobat installed on 1,000+ computers in 30 regional offices! Push this registry setting using your standard software deployment software.

  • Open PDF in IE8 with Acrobat, not Reader ?

    Hi Chaps,
    I used to be able to open a PDF from a HTML link, which would then open in Internet Explorer 8 using Adobe Acrobat.
    Since installing Adobe Reader, all PDFs open in IE8 using Reader, instead of Acrobat, so now I cannot edit the PDF.
    I've searched through Preferences in both programs, changed all associated program file types to Acrobat, reinstalled Acrobat but I cannot get it back!
    I'm using Windows 7 [64-bit], Acrobat 9, Reader 9.
    If anyone knows which option to change, it'll help me out no end!

    Adobe doesn't support Reader and Acrobat on the same Windows computer. Uninstall Reader and then re-install Acrobat.

  • Installed Pro 9 and Reader 9 now cannot open pdf from web, but can from an email?

    Installed Both Adobe Acrobat 9 professional and reader 9 yesterday on co worker machine. Went to open a pdf attachement in email no problem. Went to web to download and open a pdf and will not let her, giving co worker the error message need reader 8 or 9 to open this document!
    have unistalled 9 reader and reinstalled same problem.
    So then uninstalled reader 9 and can now open pdf from the web
    My machine has both on and no problems.
    Thank YOU for your help!!

    It may be that you will need to uninstall Reader and Repair Acrobat after the uninstall. Adobe does not recommend the installation of both products. Since you have already done the uninstall and things work fine with just Acrobat, leave things alone as that is the recommended installation.

  • Access Denied Bug Opening PDFs from the DFS in Reader X

    Hi,
    Do you have any timelines for when a bugfix will be released for the Access Denied problems when opening PDFs from a DFS share with Protected Mode enabled? We were hoping to make use of the new sandboxing technology within the corporate environment, as recent issues with security vulnerabilities (in Adobe Reader 9, the authplay.dll issues) would be mitigated by the technology. However, as the Protected Mode does not work when opening from the DFS there is no point in moving to Adobe Reader X from 9.4.1 at the moment.
    It would be good to have a release date so that we can start taking advantage of the technology as soon as we are able to.

    There's no dates, or indications of when this will be done. Thanks for your useful assistance though.

  • How to open PDFs by default with Adobe Reader?

    Hi everybody!!
    I used to have Adobe Acrobat but I don't have it any more.
    When I had Acrobat the PDFs in my sistem and the PDFs in the web were opened without problems by Acrobat but now I just have Adobe Reader (not Acrobat) and the PDFs in my sistem and on the web are not opened and can't read them...
    Even the PDFs in my sistem don't show the PDF icon as when I had Acrobat installed.
    What could I do to be able to open PDFs by default with my Adobe Reader?
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Right click on a PDF file and select Open with, then select the Always open with button. Search for Adobe Reader and go from there. This is an OS feature, not a Reader feature. For further questions about Reader, check the Reader forum.

  • Acrobat reader XI cannot open pdfs from IE9

    My pc has IE9, windows 7.  After I installed Acrobat reader XI, I can no longer open pdfs from a secure website.  Can anyone help?

    "Internal Error Occurred" appears when .pdf is opened from Outlook 2010 email
    I am absolutely pulling out my hair over this one!!
    PC/Win 7 64bit/Adobe XI/Office 2010
    I have tried Uninstalling and re-installing
    I have tried using an adobe software removal tool
    I have tried modifying the security settings in reader
    I've tried running repair on MS Office
    If you open the .pdf from an email directly, it opens Reader with the error "Internal Error Occurred"
    If you drag and drop the .pdf onto the desktop, and then open it, it opens.
    If you open Adobe Reader FIRST, then open the .pdf from the email, it opens fine.
    ONLY when you open a .pdf from an email with Adobe Reader closed (so Outlook is asking AR to open first, and then present the .pdf) is it behaving this way.
    Hypothesis: Outlook 2010 does not like to open Adobe Reader.
    SO....tell me all of you brilliant geniuses? How do I solve this puzzle and become an end user's hero?

  • Can't open PDFs from website. Use OS X 6.8 & Firefox 24

    When I click on the link, I get a blank screen. If I switch to Safari I can open PDFs, but not with Firefox. Can you help?

    Can you check your PDF viewer setting? This article describes how to switch it: [[View PDF files in Firefox without downloading them]] (skip to the section "Using a PDF reader plugin"). If your current setting doesn't work, does another one of the options work?

  • Can't open PDFs in Netscape with Ver. 7.

    I had Reader ver 7 for some time. I am using Netscape ver 7. Awhile back I succumbed to the nag notices and downloaded and installed Reader ver 9. Ver 9 caused problems so I uninstalled it and did a system restore to recover ver 7. Now I can't open pdfs from within the Reader window in Netscape. At first Netscape wouldn't even open Reader but I was able to correct that. However, now it will open Reader in a separate window but locks up whenever I try to download a pdf. I have XP Sp3. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • Safari hijacked by Adobe Reader - cant open pdfs from Safari

    I would greatly appreciate any help cant seem to find this exact problem elsewhere.
    I have a Macpro (new tower) running  10.9.4
    A few days ago I received an email from a trusted friend which included a link. I followed the link which asked me to download Adobe Reader which i foolishly did. Since then when I try to open a PDF from Safari I get the following message "Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User Licence Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser"
    Please note I can still open PDFs from the Finder and other browser's (e.g. Opera) also allow me to download
    I went to the Adobe site and downloaded Reader but it wont let me complete the installation. I fear my Mac has been infected by a trojan etc and can't seem to find out how to get around this.
    So far I have tried
    1) went to /Library/Internet Plug-ins - but nothing there
    2) reinstall of Mavericks
    Any help appreciated. I suppose a clean reinstall would help but don't want to do that just yet

    Open a Finder Window.
    Click on the Go in the menu bar.
    Press on option on the keyboard, "Library" will appear. Click on that.
    In the new Finder Window that it opens up, or the one that you have opened already. It'll show that particular folder. In that folder is Internet Plug-ins.
    Check to see if Adobe is in there. If so, delete it and reboot.
    I honestly thought it was in the same folder that you tried, but I don't remember at the moment. So my instructions are just a shot in the dark.
