PDF and video links

I just upgraded to RoboHelp 7 so I could fix the active x
popup issue when running program by selecting Add Mark of the Web
checkbox. But now my links to pdf files and video don't work inless
you save first. How can I fix this issue?
Thanks in advance

Hi Kurt
You could probably work past this by using a program called
Server2Go.
Here are the steps you would need to follow:
Download the Server2Go software from
http://www.server2go-web.de/download/download.html
Choose the Micro package
This should result in receiving a zip file named
distribute_apache1.3_micro.zip
Unzip the contents of the zip file to the root of your hard
drive ( C:\ )
This should create a folder named distribute_apache1.3_micro
Open this folder and delete the following files and folders
inside:
Files:
splash.bmp
logo.ico
readme.txt
Folders:
dlls
dbdir
cgi-bin
Open the htdocs folder and delete all files and folders
inside.
Copy all of your WebHelp output files and folders to the
htdocs folder
Rename the WebHelp start page to index.htm
Copy the contents of the distribute_apache1.3_micro folder to
the CD-ROM and test!
Cheers... Rick

PDF with video links

Looking to have a pdf file coexist on a CD or Data DVD.
The pdf will have links to various videos, also on the CD.
Problem is, the Drive letter will change based on what computer is used.
Is there a way to properly link to these videos all contained on the same CD or Data DVD?
I'll be using MS Word for the body of the pdf and the links are to housed on a graphic object.
I can put whatever link address in the MS Word file object or modify it in Acrobat.

Be sure the link is relative, not absolute.

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

I was more interested in writing a script in PowerShell to automatically deny Itanium server updates.
Would you happen to know a good article on this?
I believe this topic has been discussed in this forum, so I'd start by searching the forum.
Beyond that, your best friend in PowerShell script efforts is going to be CodePlex. There may be one posted there, already written.
As a technical reference, you'll need to be familiar with the WSUS API, and the
Software Development Kit is available on MSDN.
You can definitely do this with PowerShell. (I actually do it with a feature of SolarWinds Patch Manager which does it via an API call.)

How to: Add Internal anchors to a PDF and then link from an external webpage?

Hi,
I work in email marketing and create html emails that we send through our own web based system. I am just wondering if it is possible at all to create internal anchors with unique urls that I can then link to from my html email as a hyperlink?
The client has created the PDF and I am wondering if I can create the anchors and when linking to these anchors from my email, it downloads the file and opens to that specific anchor location?
Thanks in advance.

I seem to having a new issue with this task. Thanks to Bernd I have managed to create named destinations within the PDF document. From there I have then created the email and linked the pdf url with the destination tag to open to that location. However what we're finding now is that once the PDF has been downloaded once, if you go back to the email and select another link it opens the PDF in the last viewed state.
This client has created one PDF containing many different articles. In the email she has created a table of contents and wants to link from each listed article to that destination in the PDF. But once you have clicked on one link, shut down browser, go back to the email and select another link it just opens what you were viewing last. Is this a cache issues? Are we using the named destination method in the correct manner?
We tried suggesting, linking once to the PDF and then from the PDF creating a table of contents with internal anchors however the client doesn't want this.
Suggestions?

How to combine PDFs into a single PDF and preserve links between original PDFs within single PDF

Acrobat Pro can combine multiple PDF files into one PDF file.
However, during this process not all links are supported.
Links within the individual PDF files that are combined seem to work in the single resulting PDF file.
Links that were between the individual PDF files when combined do not seem to work in the single resulting PDF file.
Combining the PDF files should support the links that were btween the original individual PDF files in the resulting single PDF file.
How can this be done?

Sorry, not possible.

PDF and MSWord links don't work once published

Help,
I have created a four module course and published it using aggregate, it looks great except none of the links to the pdf or msword docs work. I have tried several suggestions, but nothing works when the course is launched on another computer. I get a path error when you click on the link.
Anyone have a helpful suggestion on how to get these to work.
One other note, when I go to publish the document Adobe tells me that I need to export the files...any idea how?
tks.

Adobe Captivate will show this warning message about needing to export the files any time that it detects you have linked to another file or document that is not one of those it normally exports automatically at publish time. It's really just reminding you that it's YOUR job to ensure that the files you are linking to are going to be in the right place when the published content is accessed by end users.
The best option is just to manually copy the files (in your case PDF etc) into the same publish folder location as the HTM and SWF files that Captivate creates. Then all you need to use as a relative file path is the name of the file itself.
One thing to check as to why the links are not working is that you have Flash Global Security set up to trust the publish folder location. Alternatively, upload your content to a web server and view it via a HTTP URL link. That usually means that Flash Global Security won't be an issue.

Having Problems Converting Word Doc to PDF and Retaining Links

My company recently upgraded company wide to Reader 9 (for Windows). My department develops documentation and we currently use Acrobat Professional 8. Recently we have had several issues where we try to convert a Word 2003 or PowerPoint 2003 doc to PDF with Acrobat Prof 8 and the converted PDF does not retain links when our users open it. The most they get is a information bubble when tehy hover over it that shows the link URL or indocument location, they are unable to seledct the link. Is this a compatability issue between Reader 9 and Acrobat 8 Prof? I have tried everything i know to resolve the issue. Could someone, please offer any helpful info they can? Thanks!

I withdraw the question. The documents we were given were in Mark Up mode on the Word 2003 side of things. We turned it off and it seems to be working fine now.

HELP: I need to link a PDF within PDF and be able to open and return to original PDF

I have a master PDF and have attached 7 supplemental PDF documents. I created "click here" icons and used the steps below so that the linked document would open. The problem is, once I open the supplemental PDF, it closes the original master. I would like to close the linked document and return to the master view. Is there a way to do this?
Or is there a way to do this from InDesign? I created master file in InDesign and exported as an Interactive PDF. I created the buttons and linked them to external files. This works great as long as the master PDF and the links are all in one file, but that is a pain to send to a viewer. Ideally, I want to be able to send the master PDF to a viewer and not have to send a links folder. Is there a way to embed the supplemental PDFs into the master so that they are all combined into one file AND have the ability to use buttons to call up one of the attachments, close, and return to the original?
Thanks in advance!!

I want to do the same thing that the original poster of this question wants to do. I haven't worked extensively with Acrobat so am finding by trial and error the several ways PDFs within PDFs can be accomplished. I'm using a trial version of Acrobat Pro X and have experimented with three options.
1 - I've created a Portfolio and am impressed with what that can do, though I think it may be "overkill" for the current size of my project.
2 - I've also tried creating this project as an index but discovered that the links I'd created in the original docs didn't work when I moved the index and its contents (keeping the file structure the same). I presume this means the links are absolute? I also don't understand how it is that users search a .pdx file, or how to present what I want to be the original opening PDF of indexed docs.
3 - I've also thought to create one PDF with attached PDFs, so I'd like to have you expand on your comment about creating a master document and attaching documents to it.
The specifics of my project are these: I have created a master directory that contains approximately 120 links. Most of the links are repeated three times (users can find in the directory the item they need in three different ways: alphabetically, by application, or by module; hence each item listed once in each of three categories). I want to make that directory the "master" PDF that users open first, and then locate within that PDF the 5-8 PDF documents that contain all of the places to which the directory links. I want the "master" directory to be self-contained and completely "portable" as far as all of the documents and links are concerned so that when I make the PDF available from our website users can open the master from there or copy it and have all of the docs they need with all of the links intact. I think I prefer that all docs open in new windows, since returning to the original doesn't seem very user friendly in Acrobat (I like the tabs feature in FoxIt when multiple PDFs are open...).
I'd like an opinion about the best way to accomplish what I need to do, and am also wondering whether there are other options I am unaware of. BTW, the reason we've decided to document this whole project in PDFs rather than HTML is because this project contains a big number of tables, which do not look consistent across various browsers (i.e., most of our tables look fine in IE and Firefox, but awful in Google Chrome...). In researching my issue on the Acrobat Windows forum I see that rendering tables in Acrobat is also an issue that seems to be unresolved.
Thank you!

Pdf or video

What is the better way to export a slidehow in lightroom 4, pdf or video?

Dave, everything you've stated is incorrect or misleading except for video file support. I'll grant you the Slideshow module is overdue for some useful updates, but at least video files are now supported in LR5.
Jim Hess has provided useful information concerning LR's Slideshow PDF and video output. If your intent is to use the LR Slideshow images in another application then simply choose 'Export JPEG Slideshow' from inside the Slideshow module. The images are properly color managed and exported with sRGB color profile assigned. This allows you to add captions and other information to each image from inside LR using metadata. I use Cyberlink PowerDirector video software with LR 1080p slideshow JPEG exports, which I burn to a standard 4.7 DVD+R disc in AVCHD format for playback on any Blu-ray player. YES, it does work and a Blu-ray burner and Blu-ray discs are NOT required. You can fit up to 500 images with about 30 minutes of playback time. Who'd want a slideshow longer than that and the images look superb on my 52" HDTV.

Creating a link to a pdf and then being able to come back to first pdf

hi there!
I want to be able to create a link in my InDesign document to the glossary (another InDesign document). Of course I am exporting as PDFs and then the user would be able to close the glossary and come back to the first document in the place that they were when they left. This seems like it should be easy, but I can't find a way to come back. Acrobat doesn't have a back button, and when you close the glossary you also close the first document.The user can open the document again, but then they have to find their place.
Is there a way to link to another document and have it open in a new Acrobat window? That's what I really want.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tim.

Hi Steve, thanks very much for that. Wow, I feel lucky to get one of the best. I've seen some of your videos.
Okay, but javascript, eh? Hmm. Okay, I'm listening. Can you give me a bit more? Point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

Signature Problems - how to keep links and video capability after inserting signature in Reader

I create inspection reports where the first page is a signed letter and the rest of the report is text, videos and links to pictures within the document (created in Adobe Acrobat X Pro). When we sign the pdf in Reader XI the links and videos no longer work. Is there a way around this?

Hi Popsickle1974,
Does this issue occur with other pdfs as well?

Streaming video link to play inside PDF

I'm not having any success placing a .mp4 streaming video link in Acrobat Pro X that will play inside (not embedded) the PDF. My client has provided me with a couple of links, and the video tool field accepts it, but nothing plays. I can download and embed the actual file from my desktop fine. Being a long time print designer, this is my first attempt to create an ebook with video from an existing print project - so i have limited understanding of formats, server behavior, and such. Can anyone help me?

Thank you for the quick response. I misunderstood. I was thinking that by using the widget and an H2.64 video for iPad (mp4) that together it was creating streaming video in a PDF that is not converted to Flash or swf, which as pointed out is not compatible with iPad. So, the pupose of the widget is that it allows streaming of video (e.g. mp4) for a PDF viewed on a computer vs. embedding the actual video in the PDF? ..and it still converts the video to Flash?
My goal is to have an iPad workbook of sorts w/ a video player that is streaming the video vs embedding it.
- PDF seems to be out unless I want to link it and have the video open in a browser.
- I tried creating an epub using InDesign, which allowed me to embed the mp4 and played on the iPad fine in iBooks, but it makes the epub file large and I'd rather stream the video.
- When using the "place a video from url option" in InDesign, the epub will not play the video in iBooks and only shows the poster image.
Do you have any recommendations or even other Adobe tools that will help accomplish my goal?
thanks!
