PDF Files (with links) on inDesign template. Help, please?

I put together a weekly newsletter for our company and one of our customers provided me with an ad that has hyperlinks. The ad is in a PDF format. Anyway, when I convert the newsletter (with said ad) from inDesign to a PDF format, the hyperlinks that were on the ad initally do not appear in my finished PDF newsletter. I need some help in finding out how to get the PDF version of my inDesign-produced newsletter to display the ad WITH THE HYPERLINKS. Any and all help will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

After you placong PDF with hyperlink.
Export to PDF and make sure you check "Hyperlinks"

How to use PDF files with links to other PDF Files

How to use a PDF file with links to other PDF files that have been transferred to the same folder

Are you using a mouse, or a trackpad on a laptop? Either way, your cursor is usually an arrow, right? And presumably it's working/moving MOST of the time, otherwise you wouldn't be able to do anything?
For example, can you move the cursor arrow to the "Annotate" tool to click on it and go into Annotate mode? If so, can you click on the text tool? If so, does the cursor change to a crosshairs? At what point can you NOT move the cursor around the screen?

I need to send an email where the recipient opens the PDF file with a password, can anybody help me and show me how to do that

Hello, I am trying to send an email where the recipient opens the PDF file with a password, can anybody show me how to do that

Hi surez,
To password protect a PDF file, you need to use Acrobat. If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it for free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.
In Acrobat, you choose File > Properties when the document is open, and then click the Security tab to set up a password.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Question on PDF files with linked images (not embedded) between Reader and Illustrator

I run into situations when I get customer PDFs that need to be edited. When they load in Acrobat Reader it works fine. However if I load it into Illustrator it asks me to point it to the linked file. The question is how does Acrobat Reader open a PDF file and show a linked file when it is not embedded? Why can't Illustrator do the same thing?
This is more of a technical question, but any information would be helpful. Thanks.

For linked images, your PDF file contains a thumbnail image along with the reference or address of the actual image. Reader will display this thumbnail. Now, wanting to edit the PDF in Illustrator, it wants to enable you working on the actual image. Hence it asks you to point to the linked file.

Read PDF files in Safari on 10.5 --- HELP PLEASE!

I accidently deleted the Internet Plug-in to read PDF files in 10.5. The plug in is located in /Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
I believe it is called "Adobe Acrobat ???" (or something like this)
If someone could post it or e-mail it to me, I'd be one grateful person!
Thanks!!
e-mail to deut3221 AT mac.com
Thanks.

you can download Adobe Reader for free from Adobe.com. It will read PDF files, you shouldn't need someone to email you a copy.

When I sync PDF file "with links" to iPad i lose my images.

When I sync a Adobe File (which includes links) to Good Reader or any other PDF Reader from my MacBook Pro to iPad, I lose my images. Tried to save down to Adobe 6 and 7 but still now success. Someone posted earlier to go to Preview and save as JPEG since iPad has issues with JPEG2000, however then I lose my links. Does anyone have a solution? My Adobe file is already 13MB and I would like to keep the size down as much as possible.

You likely need support from Adobe. The Apple User Guides are made with Adobe InDesign and they work fine with hyperlinks and illustrations in iBooks and GoodReader.

Open PDF-File (with LinkToURL or what?) !

Hello@all,
I have a PDF-File, which I have stored in my project like a image
(->src->mimes->Components->com.sap.....Comp--->Help.pdf
In the View of this Component I want to have a LinkToURL or something else to open the PDF file with adobe.
Can someone help me for this?
Best regards
Marcus

Hi,
You can alternatively open Pdf using the following logic
String pdfLink = <Your Link>
FileInputStream fileIn = new FileInputStream(pdfLink);
int lastIndex = pdfLink.lastIndexOf(Constants.PATH_SEP);
String saveFileName = pdfLink.substring(lastIndex);
IWDResource resource = WDResourceFactory.createCachedResource(fileIn, saveFileName,WDWebResourceType.PDF,true);
String url = resource.getUrl(WDFileDownloadBehaviour.OPEN_INPLACE.ordinal());
wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(url,saveFileName).show();
Hope this helps.

Mac InDesign CS6 crashes when adding files with links to Windows network into book

Our Mac network is unstable, so I tested linking InDesign CS6 files (on my Mac's hard drive) to .jpg files on our company's very stable Windows network rather to the same .jpg files on our Mac network. I tested with 4 simple, small InDesign files. When these 4 files were linked to images on a storage drive on our Mac network, I could drag all 4 files into a book and export the book to PDF. But when linked to the same images on the Windows network, while each file would open fine with no errors, and while I could generate a PDF from each individual file, the moment I dragged the 4 files into a book, InDesign crashed, generating pages of information in the crash report form.
I have no problem making 500 page manuals on my hard drive, comprised of about 50 InDesign files, with links to THOUSANDS of image files on a storage drive on our Mac network. Is there some trick to making a book with files linked to images on a Windows network? If there is no simple answer, who could I call to set us up so this will work?
I'm using InDesign CS6 for Mac, totally updated, version 8.0.1.
Thank you so much!!!

It seems, this is all you need to do... your message isn't clear as to whether you've fixed your issue or not.
[Extract from link above]...
"Add the network share(s) to your Favorites in Bridge and drag assets into your layouts from Bridge or Mini-Bridge. The paths stored in the InDesign links will be full network paths, and both sets of machines should have no problem finding them. This is the more usual InDesign workflow."

Print web page to PDF file with live links in PDF file like Apple Safari's pdf prints?

With Firefox for Macintosh, can I print a web page to PDF in such a manner that when I option the PDF file and click on a link, it is a live link that opens in my system's default web browser?
With Apple Safari, when I print a web page to a PDF file, the links on that page are "live" and work to open the web browser to their destination. The PDF files I get from Firefox are dead. Clicking on link does not open in browser.
Is there a way to get FireFox to act more like Safari in this regard?
Thanks

Seems the referenced thread is about Lion. I am having this problem in Snow Leopard 10.6.5 with Firefox. Any way to get PDFs with working links in Snow Leopard using FIrefox? I do not really want to have to use Safari for this purpose.
Going forward when and under what circumstances will future versions of Firefox be able to create PDFs with live links? Are there any circumstances where a current or past version of Firefox can do it under any current or past version of OS X?
Thanks.

I followed the FAQ troubleshooting and that didn't help

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

Pdf-file with clickable links from iweb 09

How can I create a pdf-file with clickable links from a website created in iweb 09?
All iwork apps have an export button, which fulfills this task, but iweb does not.
Any idea?

I am running 10.5.6 on a MacBook Pro 2.53 GHz. I create my PDFs via the print dialogue. I tried to create a PDF from iweb with Hyperlinks activated and all links are dead. I tried to create the PDF from the Safari window, were all links are active, and – funny enough – sometimes all, sometimes half of my links are dead. But most of them do not work. As soon as I create PDFs from third party sites, everything works fine.

Possible to create medium res .pdf file with InDesign CS5?

Hello,
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to create a medium res .pdf file with InDesign CS5?
I'm working with a client and have been sending him both high res and low res files of a catalog project. High res .pdf is 12.8MB and low res is 1.2MB. He is asking whether I can create something in between the two, say somewhere around 6 to 8 MB.
Any insight would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Tania

PDFs do not have a resolution. The graphics within do, however..
Look at the downsampling settings and experiment until you get what you want.

Links to PDF files with relative paths from a Captivate 4 project

I'm creating a presentation in Captivate 4 (I'm making an exe file) with some links to PDF files; the links are buttons with the 'open URL or file' set. The presentation will be distributed in CDs and obviously the links will not work for they point to an absolute path in my PC. Is there another way to display external files? thanks

"file:\file folder\filename" is not a relative path. It's still an absolute path because you're specifying the path all the way from the root drive, whether you used a drive letter or not.
A relative path shows where to find the other file in relation to the file that is calling it.
Relative paths look like this:
myDoc.doc (if the file is in the same directory as the file calling it)
folderName/myDoc.doc (if the file is inside a folder in the same directory as the file calling it)
../myDoc.doc (if the file is located in the parent directory above the file that is calling it)
../../myDoc.doc (if the file is located two levels above the file that is calling it)
etc
