PDF and FLV links not working

I have a course that’s made up of a series of hyperlinked swfs and html files. There are also some flvs and pdfs in this. We had to design it in this format (vs. pdf or exe) because of our customer’s special requirements. To try to make a long story short, our company now wants to put this course on a CD-ROM to show customers, however, they do not want to have to make the customer do that extra little step of setting the Flash security settings to accept the external site. Anyway, that is the background, and here is my problem.
I have created two new “marketing” versions that contain a snippet of the course – a PDF version and an EXE version. Here are the problems with each:
1.       The exe format works great, except there is a button that links to a PDF, and that link, even though the PDF is present in the same directory, does not launch the pdf.
2.       The PDF version has two problems. I have a FLV that does not play (despite it being in the directory), and I also have a button (same one as mentioned above) that launches another PDF, and that PDF does not launch.
Any suggestions?

Hi Kristi
I have something that may help here. Please send an E-Mail message to rstone75 (at) kc (dot) rr (dot) com and list the exact file names of the files you are linking to.
Once I have the actual file names, I can send you back some files that you can try to use for accomplishing the linking. Additionally, I'll want to know the exact relationship the files have. For example, will they simply be in the same folder as your project? Or will they perhaps be in a subfolder. And if a subfolder, the exact name of the subfolder.
Cheers... Rick

  • Had problem with bookmarks, history, back button and google links not working.

    For the last five days i've had problems with firefox. First, i noticed that it was running incredibly slowly and then that all the links in the google search were not working. Then i noticed that neither was the history, bookmarks or back button. I went on to facebook chat to ask for help. First, I was told to reinstall firefox, which didn't work. Then i was told to do a "clean" install where you rename the old firefox folder in the programs folder so that it makes sure when it's installed that everything is new and nothing is corrupted. That didn't work either. I then disabled my antivirus software and firewall to see if that was causing the problem. It was not. Then I installed an anti-malware program to remove any adware or spywar,e which it did remove from my computer, but it didn't solve the problem. The chat person was at a loss and I don't blame him/her because so was I.
    The reason I'm writing this is in case anyone else has the same problem. The only way I solved it was first by uninstalling and making sure to check the little box asking if you want all personal data and such associated with firefox also removed (which removes cookies as well) and then I finally thought to delete all the cookies from the rest of my computer also. Once all the cookies were gone and i had fully uninstalled firefox and personal data, I reinstalled it with a newly downloaded file and it is once again functioning properly. Hope this is helpful to anyone who's been ripping their hair out. :)

  • Mailto and Send Link not working on Mac 10.4.6

    Send Link and Mail To are not working Mac OS 10.6.4. I have been unsuccessful trying Mail, Gmail, and re-installing Firefox.
    I have been using Add This to send the links in an email, but would very much like to use Send LInk.
    I'd appreciate any suggestions.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Several months ago

    Yes I did. First I used Mail, then changed it to Gmail. When neither worked, I re-installed Firefox and got rid of as many apps as I could. I tried both again - but no luck.
    I have copied and pasted links into either of these mail programs or used Add On,which requires opening a new tab, finding and entering the email address, closing or switching back to the original tab, etc.
    Thanks for your suggestion.

  • CS3 Not loading from disc and download link not working

    I had to wipe my MacBook Pro hard drive.  I am now running Mavericks.  I bought CS5 as an upgrade to CS3 so CS3 is required to be on my computer before it will let me load the update.I have tried loading CS3 from the disk (I have my original discs) but it won't let me.  It gets stuck about 2/3rds of the way through install.  I've tried 4 times and I'm fed up. Nothing should be this hard. There is nothing wrong with my CD drive either, as I have loaded four other pieces of software that come on CD.
    I tried to download CS3 from the links that Adobe tells me to use but none of the links work.  I have searched for links in general, I have done specific searches in Adobe.  Everything I come across for the CS3 download gives me an error when I click on the Mac version to download (HTTP Error: 404/support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp).  I have switched off the pop up blocker as well and tried more than one browser when downloading.
    Does anyone have a work around?  I've paid over $4,000 for this software, I don't have the money to buy the latest version and I need to get my work done. I'm done with the stupidity of just trying to load this and I shouldn't have to buy the latest version just to be able to load my update.
    Please help if you can.
    SIncere thanks
    Hasmi

    you don't need to install cs3 in order to install your cs5 upgrade.  if you start the cs5 installation you will first be prompted for your cs5 serial number.  the installer will then 'look' for cs3 on your computer and failing to find that will then prompt you for your cs3 serial number thereby establishing that you qualify to install the cs5 upgrade.
    but if you want to install cs3:
    You can download some of the older versions of Adobe software directly from the Adobe website. See the following links for details.
    Accessible from these pages:
    Download and installation help
    Adobe Downloads - other downloads
    Downloads available:
    CS6 | CS5.5 | CS4 | CS3
    Acrobat XI, X | 9,8
    Premiere Elements 11, 10
    Photoshop Elements 11, 10
    or:
    if you follow all 7 steps, you can download a trial via one of the links on this page using a browser that accepts cookies:  http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a download problem (eg, you see an error page or you are offered an incorrect version), you probably didn't follow all 7 steps.  typically, failure to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 is the problem, but your browser must also allow cookies so that (a restrictive browser setting) is another potential source of problems.

  • Fresh Install HCM 9.1 but Links not working. Help please

    Dear All,
    I'm trying to make a switch from SAP to PeopleSoft. I tought it easier to install PSFT since the number of source to install is much less than SAP. However, I kept getting same error where the links not working no matter which environment I tried to install.
    I downloaded all software from eDelivery.
    HCM 9.1, PTOOLS 8.52, Oracle 11g 64 bit, Oracle Client 32 bit.
    First Try:
    Install on windows 7 64bit. Everything works fine until first login to the PSFT and all links not working.
    Suggestion from Hakan is to apply the patch and gave me a link to the old FTP site. I downloaded the 85209 patch but got password.
    Finally I managed to get a customer ID from a friend and downloaded Patch 85211 and applied. But got java error so I scrapped it.
    Anyway, Gasparotto said the environment is not certified and will not fix my problem with the patch.
    Second Try:
    Installed Virtual Box.
    Installed Windows 2008 R2 and applied the SP1.
    Installed everything all over again.
    Ensured the PTWEBSERVER password similar the username.
    Everything works fine but when login to PSFT, again..... links not working and see on the bottom left corner there are some javascript error where they cannot find certain peoplesoft objects..
    Just upgraded to IE 9 because I read somewhere IE 8 is not certified.
    Tried to login again, no error message and everything looks fine but... links not working.
    Logs also looks normal to me.
    Does anyone ever encountered similar issues before?
    Does this is a normal behaviour before tools patch 85211 being applied ?
    Thanks,
    aLuNa

    Does this is a normal behaviour before tools patch 85211 being applied ?Without patch, you have the error you mentioned. How many time I told that 8.52.03 min. is required, I did not go further, but there was some bugs before which make it not working.
    I understand that's rather frustrating for people who wants to jump to Peoplesoft. I don't know SAP, but here you go, Peoplesoft is not a simple toy.
    Unfortunately, if you have no access to My Oracle Support to get the Peoplesoft patches, you have no way but work on Peoplesoft OVM (free of use), and to use them on VirtualBox, the Jim's articles are worth to follow.
    Nicolas.
    PS: @Jim, thanks for the kind words.
    My last install guide is quite old now (PT8.50/Linux), even though it did not change very much within the last tools 8.52. But seeing the number of time such questions have asked over here (PT8.52 on Windows), I'm thinking to write one more, that time on Windows.

  • Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Reader X Pro (Editable PDF Combobox Search is not working properly.)

    I have created Editable PDF using itext(5.3.0) in java. I have used Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Reader X Pro.  But in editable PDF combobox search is  not working properly.
    It's only search first character.

    My (admittedly old and slow) system did this too the first time I opened Reader 11, but it "unfroze" after about fifteen seconds, (an eternity in computing time, I know, but it did eventually open all the way) What you're seeing on the right is the "Tools" panel initializing. That's exactly where mine would freeze up on starting. Once it did finally open fully, I clicked the "Tools" link at the top to close the panel, and I opened and viewed a document that way, then closed reader. Now when I open Reader, the Tools panel doesn't initialize and it opens immediately.
    Reboot and before you open anything else, open Reader. When you open it, DO NOT try to do anything with it until it fully opens, don't click anything, don't try to switch to another app. Give it time to open fully, and then click the Tools link to close it. Then, open and view a document, and close it. Close Reader and reopen it. the Tools panel should remain closed and Reader should open fully immediately.

  • PDF external links not working

    I have succesfully linked to PDF's on my site in the past, but there are now a select few that are coming up as "The requested URL http:// was not found on this server." when clicked on.
    I have deleted, resaved and relinked them, even changed their name. But this warning still comes up even after I "put" the page and "put" the document from the folder it is located.
    When I test the page through Dreamweaver everything works, but not when I got to the site. I have tried the site in both Safari and Firefox.
    What am I missing??

    I had the same problem today with a new computer and new installation of Adobe Acrobat.
    I discovered the solution that worked for me. I am not sure where the setting is located in Adobe Acrobat but if you are using Word 2007 this is where I found it.
    Open the document you wish to convert in Word
    File > Save as > PDF
    Click on the Options button
    Tick under PDF options at the bottom - ISO 19005-1 compliant (PDF/A)
    OK
    then click the Publish button
    I then uploaded to the web and the links still worked.
    I decided to google " ISO 19005-1 compliant (PDF/A)" and am wondering it this might be something to do with the Save As option rather then using the Print option I haven't quite determined if that is the case but I found this article which might explain any questions - http://doknir.blogspot.com/2006/08/word-2007-docx-and-iso-19005-pdfa.html

  • FLV player not working on website

    Well recently I've been making a website, I'm recently new to Dreamweaver, and previously I had input two FLV's in two different AP div boxes. They both worked fine, but after creating a few more pages, I can only come back to see it broken. Instead of a play button with the bar, it's just a picture with the play, pause buttons all over it (attached). I'm really confused why, I don't think I edited it at all. I'm really stressing out because my projet is due tomorrow and this last problem just arises!
    Thank
    P.s I currently use Dreamweaver Cs6 on Mountain Lion Mac.

    Hello,
    we had some similar questions in this forum already. So my first suggestion is that you use the forum search function with the keywords from above. See e.g.:

    To analyze better you should send us a link to your website in question, no matter how it looks like.

    So you launch Safari and what? Provide a link to the google site that's not working for you. Update to the latest version of Flash Player. Make sure it's on in System Preferences>Flash Player.

  • External links not work

    Hello,
    I have a word document that has external links. Text that
    links to other page or other url.
    When I convert my doc (word document) into a swf using flash
    paper 2 the links not work. There are still highlighted but no
    linking is taking place.
    please help me.
    Thanks

    I am having the same problem. At first I thought it was
    because I had converted an excel file but I tried the same
    information from a word document and the links do not work in the
    browser or if I view the SWF file separately. Additionally, when I
    convert the word file to a pdf none of the hyperlinks to pages or
    documents work but the links to email addresses do.

  • Adobe Edge links not working

    Yeah I have also experienced links not working when I import my .oam file from Adobe Edge Animate also. Is there anything the Muse team is doing to fix this issue? I need a response from you guys by the end of the week. my company website is malfunctioning due to issues with your software. If there is some sort of hotfix please let us know.

    When you install the software illegally, using a volume license, there is a script you can run that will enter all of the adobe servers into your local DNS hosts file so the software can be activated. This makes accessing those domains impossible. This scenario fits the description of your issue, not suggesting anything beyond that.
    The hosts file is in /private/etc/hosts and can be accessed through the terminal:
    sudo nano /private/etc/hosts
    If you see a bunch of adobe servers in there, that is your problem.

  • I created an Apple ID using my ISP Email when I registered at the Store/Apple Support Communities/iTunes/Face Time and it does not work in iChat. Why Not ?

    Question:-
    I created an Apple ID using my ISP Email when I registered at the Store/Apple Support Communities/iTunes/Face Time or other portal and it does not work in iChat. Why Not ?
    Answer:-
    For a Name to work in iChat it has to be an Valid AIM screen Name.
    Only Apple IDs from the @mac.com ending names registered here  and the Mobileme (@Me.com ending) names are Valid with the AIM service as well as being Apple IDs
    (I am still working on info about registering with iCloud at the moment but if this does give you an @Me.com email it may well be a valid AIM name as well)
    NOTES:-
    The @mac.com page works by linking an external (Non Apple) email with a @mac.com name.
    This External Email cannot be one linked to an Existing Apple ID (you have to use a second email or register at AIM )
    The options at AIM are to use your existing email or create new name and link the existing only for Password recovery
    MobileMe (@me.com ending names) were valid Emails addresses, Apple IDs AND a Valid AIM Screen Name
    @mac.com names look like emails but are only Apple IDs and iChat/AIM Valid Screen Names.
    The AIM registration page seems to be pushing you to register [email protected] This is relatively new and I have not followed through the pages to find out if it a valid AIM email (Previously you could register a name without an @whatever.com suffix)

    Answer:-
    Open iChat
    Go to the Menu under the iChat name in the Menu Bar and then Preferences and then Accounts in the new window.
    Commonly written as iChat > Preferences > Accounts as directions/actions to take.
    If it displays with a Yellow running name in the list you have a choice.
    Either register it at AIM (I would use a different password to the ISP Login) and then change the password only in iChat  (It may take you to confirm any Confirmation email from AIM first) in iChat > Preferences > Accounts
    Or you register a new Name at AIM (Or at @mac.com) and enter that (details below)
    If you have a Blue Globe name  (@mac.com) that will not Login the chances are that it the password that is the issue.
    Apple lets you create longer passwords than can be used with the AIM Servers.
    Change the Password at iForgot to no more than 16 characters.
    Then change the password in iChat as details above.
    Adding a new Account/Screen Name in iChat (that is valid with the AIM servers)
    Open iChat if not launched.
    Go to iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts
    Click the Add ( + )  Button at the bottom of the list.
    Choose in the top item drop down either @Mac.com or AIM depending on what you registered
    Add the name (with @mac.com the software will add the @mac.com bit)
    Add in the password.  (If you don't add it now iChat will ask you each time you open it)
    Click Done.
    The Buddy List should open (New Window)
    The Accounts part of the Preferences should now have the new name and you should be looking at the details.
    You can add something in the Description line which will then title the Buddy List (Useful when you have two or more names) and make it show up as that in the iChat Menu > Accounts and the Window Menu of iChat when logged in.
    You can then highlight any other Account/Screen Name you don't want to use and use the Minus ( - ) Button to delete it.

  • Not able to sign into Blackberry Protect. Backup and Restore function not working. "Your device isn't associated with a Blackberry ID"

    Not able to sign into Blackberry Protect.  Backup and Restore function not working. Message is: "Your device isn't associated with a Blackberry ID."  My Blackberry Messenger and Blackberry World is working fine so I am sure its not an ID issue on the phone.  I can sign into Link, Blackberry.com and Protect.  I see my device in Protect but cannot send messages or view it on a map.  Times out with cannot reach device message.  BB Protect on Device has a swirling circle beside the on/of switch.  Cannot turn off.  
    I have deleted Link and re-installed.
    I have reset phone to default(factory) and signed in. 
    OS level is 10.2.1.3062
    BB Link is 1.2.3.56
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I managed to figure this out myself. I had to delete the device from the Blackberry Protect website.  protect.blackberry.com.  I wiped my device again and signed in with my Blackberry ID.  I dont know if the step of wiping was necessary as I did not try my backup with the current configuration on the device following the delete.  Restore is in progress for me!
