PDF Creation - shows no links?

When I create a Word Doc. with internal links (within the doc.) or external links (to an http:// address) it works fine when I mouse over the hyperlink. Then when I print the doc. to a PDF file from the Print Manager the links show up as blue underlined links but with no linkage? When I mouse over the link, I'm expecting a link address to appear and it doesn't. I've seen PDF files with links. How do I create them with MAC Word and PDF print function.

Sorry, but you don't. Conversion to PDF does not retain hyperlink attributes. You'll need to open the PDF in Acrobat and create the links there.

  • Some links look clickable but don't work - Word 2010 with Acrobat PDF creation

    Windows 7
    Latest Acrobat subscription
    Word - Office home and student 2010
    I can create PDFs via Acrobat and Word on Windows 7,  but after editing the PDF with Acrobat on Mavericks OS X, only in-document links remain clickable. External web hyperlinks, both exposed URLs and blue text with URLs hidden under link text do not work in the PDFs that are edited on MacOS. They look like they work, because in the PDFs the hand cursor appears and you can click the links, but nothing happens in the browser.
    I can't find any troubleshooting information about this.
    My process:
    Word: Options: Advanced - remove check in "use ctrl-click to follow hyperlinks"
    Convert file using the Acrobat tab in the Word ribbon.
    Set compatibility to Acrobat 8
    Create PDF (icon)
    Click Options
    Check "create bookmarks"
    Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks
    Accept defaults, which are:
    Convert document information
    Enable Accessiblity
    Reflow the tagged Adobe PDF.
    The PDF is converted. Links all seem to work as expected.
    Take the PDF to MacOS Mavericks, add pages, optimize, using Acrobat on MacOS.
    Afterward, only some kinds of links in the PDF work.
    This is a new problem that seemed to start when I recently began to use Acrobat's subscription version on Windows instead of FoxIt to convert the Word docs on Windows.
    Q: Is this a known limitation that MacOS Acrobat creates unusable links despite the initial PDF conversion being done on Windows Acrobat?
    Q: Should I do something additional so that external links remain clickable after processing on MacOs?
    Thanks for any clues.

    Thanks for your reply.
    After some experimentation, it seems that the place where *some* links stop working is when I take a PDF file from Windows and optimize it on MacOS with Mac Acrobat Pro. All the links work *except* the kind where the URL is hidden behind blue underlined text. These look like they work but when you click them nothing happens.
    So to fix it, I think I need to optimize the PDFs on Windows Acrobat Pro.
    The MacOs Acrobat Pro, which I paid many hundreds of dollars for is therefore completely useless for documents with this kind of normal hypertext link.
    Also, Windows Acrobat Pro is required in order to ensure that table-of-contents links made in Word (MacOS) continue to work in the PDF. The trick there is to regenerate the TOC on Windows Word before using CreatePDF to convert it.
    I hope someone else benefits from this insight, because I wasted weeks of my life trying to troubleshoot this undocumented problem.

  • White Noise showing up in images after PDF Creation

    I am currently running into an issue making PDFs from InDesign CS4. Lately, our company has been getting some rather large jobs in to print and that's when this all started.
    The current job is 190 pages plus cover that will be perfect bound. The client, nor I can make one large PDF from this job so we have to break it up into sections. Usually each of the PDF sections has around 20-50 pages per.
    Now the issue we're running into is that on some of the pages, an image will end up with a bar or lines in it that looks like white noise. Like the image information was lost for a short period of time during the PDF creation from InDesign.
    Here are two pictures of pages from separate jobs and a close up on what's going on. **Second image was from a 32 page plus cover document we have already printed.
    Now in order for me to fix this issue is to just make a single page PDF of the effected pages in the document. I just wish I knew what was causing this issue so I know how to avoid it in the future. So far four jobs have been affected like this; two 32 page + cover jobs, a 64 page + cover job, and is job.
    We use a Rampage Workflow system here. My PDF settings in InDesign CS4 has all compression turned off, no profiles or color conversion turned on. I keep compression turned off because it seems sometimes, vector art done in Illustrator does not seem to come out looking well when RIP'd in Rampage.
    My main computer is a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac with 4 BG of memory running Mac OS X 10.5.8.
    My current version of InDesign CS4 is 6.0.3.  If anyone has run into this problem or if anyone has any helpful hints for me, I could really use them please. If you need more information from me, I'll be happy to answer any questions.
    Thanks for all the help!

    That one has come up every now and then and has always been hardware as far as I know....  bad ram, bad cable, bad drive, bad network maybe even bad video card (?). 
    I see that the lines in the rotated pic are parallel with that pic, so maybe look at the machine where that pic was made and placed first, this is not definite, but you can get corruption in tiffs on machines with hardware errors and they may not be visible every time you open the file.
    Although probably a bigger clue is the fact that doing singles is working better, that would make me change the ram completely, suspecting a bad module.  Also, unplug peripheral devices and see if that has any bearing.

  • InCopy is best for PDF creation...what do you think?

    I use Apple pages 09 export to create PDF documents with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 (mac).  I use these with my clients, and since I am a communicaitons consultant, I want them to stand out.  I have found pages does not do the entire job...I must add things to the PDF in acrobat (such as flash) and pages has bugs (links don't show up in left column of links in adober reader).  So, I am becoming disolutioned with pages to pdf.
    I am very technically oriented and an expert computer user, so I have been thinking about moving to a more roubust word processor to make PDF documents.  I understand Adobe has such word processor (InCopy I think).  I will reserach it, but I am looking for advice from users.  What is the best way to go?
    Does InCopy allow everything to be done in InCopy (and not a 2 stage process of adding things in acrobat).  Are there alternatives to InCopy that I might look at?  Is there anything better for PDF creation?  Print is not a big issue for me, just PDF/electronic documents.
    thanks

    InCopy doesn't do what you want. InCopy is designed for to create content that will eventually be placed into ID. I could be wrong, but I'd ask in the Incopy forum, not here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/incopy/incopy_general
    To some extent I think you would be better off with InDesign. It is not really a WP, but you can use Pages, TextEdit, Nisus, Mellel or any other WP as a Word Processor and then just place the content into InDesign. Can you use InCopy to place the content into InDesign, sure, but I really think of InCopy as an integrated workflow product for group content creation.

  • Created a pdf file showing a graph generated with CL_GUI_CHART_ENGINE

    Hi Experts!
    Please, anyone has already created a pdf file showing a graph generated with CL_GUI_CHART_ENGINE??
    Could anyone help me with this requirement?
    Thanks in advance,
    Best regards

    Hi,
    I searched and found another solution, because with the code from the link above I got everytime a short dump, maybe I did something wrong.
    The solution works with Adobe Form
    1. I used the class cl_igs_chart_engine to create a chart with my data and customizing to get the binary data of the image.
    2. Convert the binary tab to xstring.
    3. You can use this xstring on the Adobe Form to display the image.
    Maybe the following tips are useful.
    *How to get the data of chart you can see in the class
    CL_TIME_CHART_SIMPLE (use cl_gui_chart_engine for the chart but  class cl_igs_chart_engine for saving the image)
    *How to bind the image to the importing parameter (xstring)

  • Saving as a PDF with Active Web Links

    I need to save Word documents that have active web links in them to PDF files. When I save them to PDF, the links are no longer active. How can I save them with the web links in tact?

    You need Adobe Acrobat to do this (the Professional version, not the free Acrobat Reader or the OS X Print to pdf function. The software is rather expensive, though. There are less expensive versions (Acrobat Elements) but these only run under Windows.
    You can also use Adobe's online pdf creation service, which may be a better (i.e. cheaper) option.
    Hope this solves your problem...

    Hi,
    Yes .That is a Bug .When you have a Navigation links on Measures then, when you download the Report to Excel then you will be facing diffculty in getting the Totals and calculations wrong in the EXCEL .
    But when you Remove the Navigation links on the Measures then the Excel will have no problems in showing out the Totals.
    This was in 11.1.1.3 and also it is not resolved in 11.1.1.5 .
    We have already filed an SR ,and they said that they will be resolving the Issue in their later Versions .
    Might be if they get so many SR's on this Issue they might release an Early patch before the Next version Release.
    Thanks

  • Objects missing when exporting to PDF, but show up when printing to PDF

    Hi - I'm working with someone, both of us in InDesign CS4, and she has some documents that cause a few random objects to just go missing when exported to PDF (same on my computer). But when printing to PDF, they show up fine. They also show up fine if we recreate each individual object, but that can end up being a lot of work. She prefers to export to PDF because of quality. I'm drawing a blank on this one!
    The attached file shows the issue. The green blocks just don't want to show up when exporting.

    Peter -
    The links are just the PDFs of the black and white portions and don't really matter too much since they show up fine when exporting or printing to PDF. Our main concern is the green blocks, which are indeed the green areas of the plan you pointed out. They are actually separate objects created directly within InDesign that can be moved and adjusted.
    I just updated to 6.0.4 and that didn't help. I wonder if this may be a variant of the bugs I was reading about with master pages and certain things not showing up when creating PDFs or printing (even though none of these things are on the master page)?
    Thanks

  • Did you know when you type in your email in google your behance pdf resume shows up? This is a security breach!

    I typed my email address in Google and my Behance pdf resume shows up with all my information. Did you all know this? This is a security breach in my opinion.

    HI Carol,
    Thanks for writing. It looks like you had selected your work experience to be visible to the public, so this is why it was visible online. Now I see that you have your work experience listed as private (other than what you have on your profile), so this should no longer be the case. Let me know if you're still seeing this searh result and what exact google term you searched for it to come up.
    Thanks, talk to you soon!

  • Just converted a PDF document to Word, none of the graphics from the PDF file show up in the Word document?

    Just converted a PDF document to Word, none of the graphics from the PDF file show up in the Word document?
    What do I need to do to bring the graphics and exhibits from the PDF file to the Word file?

    Hi jackp52432917,
    How was that PDF file created? Please see  Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and form... | Adobe Community
    It could be that the PDF file you're converting was created using a third-party application, and it doesn't contain all the information necessary to ensure a clean conversion. Have you had similar troubles converting other PDF files?

  • In iOS 7, how do you get your Recent PDFs to show up by default?

    In iOS 6, my Recent PDFs would show up by default whenever I opened Adobe. That is not the case with iOS 7. Is there a way to get your Recent PDFs to show up by default in iOS 7?

    Not possible with the actual version of Adobe Reader.

  • Combined PDF's and created links to original PDF's

    Combined multiple PDF's from several individuals into on E-book.  I also create a table of contents with links to original PDF's within the combined document.  Problem is that each link opens in a different magnification. Page 1 is 100%, 1st link 93%, 5 link 56%, etc.  Is it possible to have all pages open with the same magnification? (i.e. all open @ 100%).
    Thanks in advance.

    If the combined PDFs are within a single PDF file —
    Use the Link Action "Go to a page view".
    As the Create Go to View dialog states:
    "Use the scrollbars, mouse, and zoom tools to select the target view..."
    During this activity you can establish the desired zoom (page magnification of 100%).
    Once the activity is complete, click the Set Link button.
    Be well...
