PDF Bookmark works on 1st click only :(

Hi all:
I've gotten links to PDFs in my RoboHelp project to work, but have one problem that I cannot seem to solve. This issue happens with IE and Chrome (have not tried Safari) but not with FireFox. The first time I click a PDF link from my WebHelp project (yes, it's posted on a server), the help link works fine. The PDF opens to the named destination. Subsequent links to different destinations in the same PDF, however, update the browser with the proper URL but the PDF does not change to the new location.
eg:
Link1:
http://10.20.160.7:8080/help/test/cdm_agent_guide.pdf#cdmasi
Displays the PDF opened to the page tagged with cdmasi
then click this:
http://10.20.160.7:8080/help/test/cdm_agent_guide.pdf#cdmacdm
Page seems to be loading but...
URL status bar shows the above URL, but the PDF has remained on the ASI topic (Chrome) or a blank page displays.
Click the URL bar and refresh to load the link
The PDF moves to the correct topic.
Note:
This behavior is the same whether i use foo.pdf#nameddest=string or foo.pdf#string
Again, if I use FireFox, the pages load great. In IE/Chrome, not.
Deets:
IE 11.0.9600.16428
Chrome 33.0.1750.146
Firefox 27.01
Windows 7
RoboHelp 10
Acrobat Pro X
Acrobat Read 10.1.9
I am pretty sure this is not a security thing or the first instance would fail. Also, it's not a Mark of the Web thing; we dont have that enabled for the project.
Am I missing something obvious about forcing a refetch of the PDF?

I wonder if there is anything in the Acrobat forum that would help? Maybe others have experienced with links from websites rather than webhelp.

New MBP, forced to use key commands, gestures don't work, not even clicking only moving the pointer around. Came with Lion.

I am trying to get my new macbook pro (i7) set up. The only way that I can interact is through the key stroke interface. the track pointer moves around but click or other gestures don't do anything. There is an annoying voice over announcing every key stroke. How do I turn that off and use the track pad?

Call AppleCare and have them talk you through it.

Mouse fails only in Firefox 3.6.3, works in all other programs, if i click outside of firefox and go back into firefox it works for one click only.

I've followed the steps for Safe Mode and no success. I disabled all add-ons and still no change. The odd thing is, this started a few days after I downloaded the new version. It is quite aggravating!

Acrobat Pro not opening PDF files when I double click on them- It only works if I bring up the program-.

I've installed a trial version of Acrobat XI Pro. It will open the file if I hit control->open with->Acrobat Pro Luis: but if I double click on the document it only brings up the Acrobat XI Pro window with the "Open a Recent File", I've changed the "Open With" option on "Get Info" and still can't open the PDF files with a double click. Can anyone help me out? Thanks! LAGA

When I double click the file after Acrobat is opened nothing happens...
The PDF file only opens if I start the acrobat program then look for the PDF file or any PDF Files and then I am able to open them.

The problem started when I turned on the computer this morning. I tried to install Mozilla 4 from your website and that installed but I still have nothing on the top.

It may be due to Firebug. Seeing as how you're a web developer, it's very possible you have this installed. The latest version, 1.7X a10, appears to cause everything you described. I downgraded to "a8" and that seems to have fixed everything.
I also recreated a profile from scratch before trying this out, so I can't guarantee it's definitely Firebug.

I am having trouble printing a PDF document. Whenever I click print nothing happens but when I am printing documents from Word, Excel etc they print without a problem. I've tried printing as image but that did not work. I uninstalled Adobe Reader XI and downloaded Adobe Reader X instead and that still doesn't work. I have Windows 7.

Save as PDF not working - in Preview only

I am trying to password protect a PDF file so I can email it, and tried to use the "Save As PDF" option in File>Print (in Preview) so I could add a password in the Security Options window. However, when I do this, nothing seems to happen (the application kind of freezes for about 10 seconds or so, and then it's back to the same print screen). I tested out whether the Save as PDF option worked in other applications (Word, Excel, Safari) and it works fine. Only Preview seems to be a problem - which is an issue if I want to password protect docs that are already PDF. Any suggestions? I'm running on OSX 10.8.2 on a MBP from early 2011. Thanks in advance.

File > Export (check Encrypt)

Recurring "connection failed" when selecting TimeCapsule in the sidebar (internet connection works fine). Clicking "Connect As" starts the cyle over again but ends in "There was a problem connection to the server" message. Only fix is resetting TC.
The TC is the wifi base station, also have AirportExpress on the network, both of which work fine. The TC has an external disc connected as well, which is also visible in the sidebar but also cannot be connected to. Several MB computers use the network, all of which either can or cannot connect to the TC disc depending on when it is acting up.
Any ideas other than clicking "connect as" or powering down the network every time?

Read up how to install 5.6 utility into ML.. it is pretty easy.
I downloaded 5.6
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Download unpkg
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Open the dmg to get the pkg.. drag it onto unpkg.. and it will create a directory under desktop with all the files.. drag the application to the utility directory.. or just run it direct.
Google if you want more explicit instructions.
Much easier with a real tool instead of a toy.
Hold the option key when you select firmware update.. all the old ones will appear.
But this will not work on newer Gen4.. only on every other model and early Gen4. .I do not know when they turned the corner and started this only 7.6 nonsense.

My scroll bar is not working properly. It works if I click the outline only. How do I fix this?

I have tried reinstalling the lastest version but it did not fix the problem. I am running windows 7 on a hp envy. My scroll bar was working fine before the firefox version 4 update. Also the up and down arrows do not work unless I click on the outline of the boxes either. Any help in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated as this is vary annoying.

Does your MacBook have a removable battery?
If so, try removing the battery and running just on the power adapter. Don't do anything too important as the computer will power off if the power adapter comes loose! Just do this for a few minutes to see if your trackpad works any better.
If your battery isn't removable, run your hand over the bottom of the computer - or run a level over it if you have one - to see if it's flat.
In either case, it's possible your battery has swollen and is applying pressure on the connection for the trackpad, which in turn means the trackpad won't work as expected.

PDF bookmarks not expanding for 2 chapters in my 9-chapter book. What should I look for?

In my unstructured book, page, table and figure numbering is all correct. All 89 figures number correctly. I can't get the PDF bookmarks for chapters 2 and 8 correct. Each of the chapters have a bookmark, but no expanded bookmarks. They should have several. My TOC may have a clue as to what is wrong: only the links for chapter 1 work. All of the other chapters in the TOC show a link is present, but nothing happens with a click.
I've used the same formatting throughout the book; e.g., paragraph tags, master pages, etc. I only have 2 master pages – first and right. First is used for the first page of each chapter. When I save to PDF these 2 chapters separately, the chapter title ends up at the end of the bookmark list instead of the top. I know something is off, but I don't know what to look for. Tags that I don't see? Very frustrating.
I'm relatively new to FM and don't understand the tags in the reference pages. I haven't intentionally created any formatting tags in the reference pages. I only use them for special characters and repeated graphics.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. What I want for Christmas – a decent user manual for FM! I'd take a class, but I'm retiring in April.

The title bookmarks for the chapters won't be out of order in the book, but you indicated that they are (at the end of the sub-levels) for chapters 2 and 8 when done separately. If the text frames holding these titles were created after the main flow text frames, that would explain why things are things are misbehaving.
To specify the expanded bookmark level, you need to explicitly type in the level value that you want [ignore the drop down list and "Default" setting].
From the Book file, regenerate the TOC before you test the links. If you get a "File not found" after this, in the TOC, then something is really messed up i nhe TOC file. I would rename it and create a new one for the book. You can then import your formatting from the older, renamed version.

When printing a book to PDF, bookmark definitions are not saved

I recall seeing another post about this issue and I can't find it now, but none of the workarounds mentioned there worked for me, so here goes:
I am working on a book migrated from FM 9 to FM 11, and when I print to PDF, I specify the bookmarks I want to display in the Bookmarks tab of the PDF Setup for Selected Files dialog. The PDF prints fine, but when I want to print the book again, FM doesn't remember my settings, forcing me to set the bookmarks from scratch every time. This has proven pretty tedious seeing that I'm working with an old book in which the styles aren't intiutive, so trying to remember all of them every time isn't the best of fun. When I print a single file in the book, the settings are saved properly.
In the previous post, I remember reading that this was a bug in FM and trying the following suggested workarounds (none of which worked): Switching to structured mode; saving the desired setting in one file in the book, printing that document, and then printing the book (was supposed to result in FM remembering the settings for the entire book); saving the book right after it prints; selecting all files in the book and saving as PDF, as opposed to selecting the book and then File > Save as PDF.
I'd be glad to know if anyone has any ideas, or if Adobe are planning to post a fix for this issue.

It is my understanding that FrameMaker uses the setting stored in the first document of the book when creating a PDF from a book. So, open the first file in the book and make a PDF, setting your bookmarks as you want for the whole book. Then create the PDF of the book. Check the settings before you click Print to make sure they are what you want. You may have to make a few changes, but it should remember them the next time.
I work with FM 9, so this may not be relevant to FM11. I find it necessary to open the PDF settings dialog each time I make a PDF of a book, and click Save/OK/whatever, to make sure the bookmarks are created correctly. The settings are always correct, no changes needed; but I find it necessary to open the dialog and close it to get the bookmarks correctly indented in resulting PDF. It may have been fixed in FM11.

Save as PDF not working suddenly

As of yesterday, unable to use the *'Save as PDF'* feature in the print dialogue.
Clicking on Save as PDF produces no result window (file name as save location). In fact, none of the options under PDF button works, neither does the Preview button.
Happening with all applications. No font conflicts. Permissions repaired.
Only way to make this feature work now is by
1. manually deselecting the default printer (Epson)
2. manually selecting Adobe PDF 9
3. clicking on the PDF button
4. selecting Save as PDF select +(not Print: no file is pdf-ed or saved anywhere)+
~ and the original workflow is back (save dialogue box pops up, etc.)
All of this should happen almost automatically, as before. Assume something is broken / corrupted.
Any help would be appreciated, as I use this feature a lot.

Reinstalled SL over current installation and updated to 10.6.1.
'Save as PDF" still doesn't work.
If 'Save as PDF' is an Automator workflow, here's a clue perhaps...
In user>library>pdf services, found a workflow reading 'Save As PDF-X.workflow'. When clicked, opened up the Automator library with the following message:
"The behavior of this workflow may have changed because of the reasons listed below.
The workflow was saved with an older version of the action "Apply Quartz Filter to PDF Documents. Some behavior may have changed."
Anyone?
