PDF HTML links/parameters

Are there any parameters you can add to the end of a PDF HTML link to make it open in a particular size (such as 80%)? I guess this assumes that the user is using an Adobe product to open a PDF but i was curious.

Thanks for the reply. If I include parameters in a URL and a person has a PDF viewer other than Adobe, do those parameters cause a problem?

HTML link to bookmark in pdf file

Hi everyone,
I use the following suffix on an html link in order to link to a specific page within a pdf file: #page=15 This works but I need to know go one step further and link to a specific bookmark within the pdf. I use the following suffix to try to do this: #bookmark name The above syntax doesn't work because the bookmarks all have spaces in their names. Apparently it's supposed to work if I remove the spaces from the bookmark names but this isn't practical because I'm generating the pdf out of Indesign and the bookmarks in the resulting pdf are just a reflection of the table of contents in Indesign. I can't remove the spaces from the TOC entries just so that there's no spaces in the bookmarks in the pdf.
So I need some sort of workaround and wondered if anyone would have any suggestions. Is there some acrobat script or any other solution to this problem?
Really appreciate any help.

Try %20 instead of spaces. HTML links are URL-encoded, and this is the usual translation of a single space, as for example can be seen in links in Google.
If it works, you can automatically convert the bookmark name to URL format with the function encodeURI ("Every non-alphanumeric character is encoded as a percent escape").

Convert Pages document to PDF and maintain html links accurately

Hi - I am trying to convert a Pages document to pdf, simple right? go to Print / PDF / Save as pdf...
I have also tried Print / Save as Postscript and Print / Open in PDF
with the same results, which are...
Pages dutifully converts to pdf, but on some pages where I have multiple links the formatting position of the links is all over the place on the page, some links are conflated on the page so it says one thing 'www.bbc.co.uk' for example but when you click that link it links to 'www.cnn.com' instead because CNN is the link a little further on in the line, or in the line of text above, or whole sections of the page (half of one page) become a link!
I have checked the formatting positions and link lables over and over again in Pages and they are spot on, no confusion, no leaking in positional accuracy, it is only when converting to pdf or postscript
I have many html links in my document so it is vital that the exact position of the formatted links in Pages is converted accurately.
Any advice on
a) using Pages Print command accurately? or
b) third party apps (really dont want to go there)
that might convert more accurately?
many thanks

Thank you Roger!
I went back to 09 as suggested which identified the section in question as having a whole load of text that had become associated with one of the links - goodness knows how or why - but this wasn't apparent in the Pages 5 doc, nothing explicit signified that there was an issue with the formatting until converting to pdf
It took me a while to strip it all out without losing all the other formatting! but done now and converting beautifully to pdf with complete accuracy in terms of formatting positions of linked text...
I then reimported back into Pages 5 to see if I could make sense of it in the same way, long story short no chance, there is still background formatting in there, despite going through it line by line, character by character and removing all traces of any link through the 'right click' 'remove link' function - as soon as you convert to pdf lots of text becomes active again even though it is absolutely not visible in the Pages 5 doc
Clearly, despite a strong desire to continue in 5 from a being uptodate perspective, I shall stick to the 09 world and wait for Apple to sort things out.
If anyone from Apple is reading this, it has cost me approx 2 days of messing about to get to a point where I give up on 5 and return to 09. Please resolve as soon as possible!

Exporting to PDF with hot html links

I'm trying to create a pdf document that has functioning html links. Does Pages let you do this?

To create a PDF with live links you'll need to buy a full version of Adobe Acrobat. Adobe Reader is just as titled - a reader. It will only allow reading and basic markup of pdfs.
The PDFs created through the Print menu are also very simple PDFs. Their creation is not a function of the program the original document comes from, be it Pages, Numbers, Word, Excel, Appleworks etc. It is based on the operating system using technology which is probably licensed from Adobe.
To get all the functionality available in a PDF, you've go to pay the piper - Adobe - for the software.
Good luck,
Terry

Html link to pdf works ok on mac but not on ipad. adobe reader for ipad downloaded.

HTML link to pdf works ok on Mac but not on ipad. Adobe Reader for ipad downloaded. What's wrong?

Hi pwillener,
Thank for reply. The pdf’s are in a subfolder “PDF” of the folder holding the web page. The web page itself uses
. This works in full size computer browsers but not in an iPad.
My excursion through the search engine has produced the idea of adding #page = requesting page to the URL but I have not had time to try it perhaps without the = sign.

Send over HTML-Link an string to PDF with openparameters ?

Hi,
is it possible to open an 3D-PDF over an HTML-Link and commit the 3D-PDF any strings (I´m not mean a searchstring for the internal searchfunction)?
Thanks for help !

It's very difficult to explain by words.
I need an help in this forum because I want to make my book(interactive pdf) opens an external application that is a sort of presentation with video and images created in director.
If I try to create an hypertextual link between a button and this file I don't have the chance to choose it. So I thought to write a script like - launch "start.app"- to make my presentation run ( it happens if I ask the script to run).
But I wonder: - how can I make this event happen only when I ask to my project to do it?-
For example: I am reading my book on adobe digital edition and at the end of the third chapter, there is an image. I mouse up and I understand it's a button. When I click on, it opens a new window with my presentation running and I watch it. At end I quit and I keep on reading my book on Adobe digital edition.
Have you an idea?
I hope I have explained it much better?!?!

Html:link submit and passing parameters

I need to submit the form when the <html:link ..... > is clicked/pressed and also need to pass parameters.
<jsp:useBean id="mapParams" class="java.util.HashMap"/>
<c:set target="${mapParams}" property="theKey" value="${theValue}"/>
<c:set target="${mapParams}" property="theKey1" value="${theValue1}"/>
<html:link href="javascript:document.myform.submit()" name="mapParams" >
<c:out value="${custItr.empName}"/>
</html:link>
When i click on the link getting javascript error which says "syntax error". when I remove the "name" attribute in <html:link> there is no error but I need to have the name attribute to pass the parameters.
How to do both the submit and passing of parameters using <html:link>? Your help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Parameters can only be passed like that to an actual URL. eg http://localhost:8080/myApp/showEmployee?id=123&dept=Sales
In this case, you are using the link tag to invoke javascript - not a url. URL Parameters don't apply to this string
If you are indeed submitting a form, I would suggest that you instead go with putting hidden fields on the form to submit the value.
Use <html:hidden>

HTML Links to PDF Destinations not Working

I've named three destinations in a PDF file using Acrobat X. When I have the Destinations tab open with the local file they all resolve to the right location. However when I use HTML links to go directly to these destinations (using file.pdf#nameddest=destination-name format) they resolve to the top of the following page.
Any reccomendations on how to fix this?
Thank you for all your help.
my test files are located at www.kathrynswebpage.net/booklist.php

Hi, I know the answer to the second question:
- use Inspector
- go to "link inspector"
- choose "format"
--> from here you can choose how your links appear

I generate file (PDF, HTML, etc) the report is empty but I run in paper

Hi
I use oracle Report10g
When I generate file (PDF, HTML, etc) the report is empty but I run in paper design show data, the report in the paper design show many pages, when generate file show only the information of the margin in the main seccion and the body is empty,
Thanks

Thanks Daniel for pointing that out. Though you answer is helpful but I am not sure if that is what I would want to do.
The link you provide for csv says "For each report there's an _report.xdo file that contains the XML structure of the report... " It suggests I modify the .xdo file for each report. I currently have 16 reports.
Does it mean I modify the .xdo file for all 16 and what happens if someone creates a 17th report ?
Also, what if I run the same report using different input parameters will that change the xml structure for the report and therefore will need me to modify the .xdo again ? (I think it should not change the xml structure so the answer should be "NO" to that, unless I change the structure of the report).
Finally, the link you provide says after doing what it suggest "Now log back into BI publisher and select the report. You should now be able to see that CSV is now an option."
CSV should be an option where ? on what screen/page ? Maybe PDF is already an option for me that I cant see because I do not know where that option is.
I was hoping there would be something I could do on the xdo_metadata sheet (in the data constraints section or elsewhere) OR in BI Publisher itself as some property of the report.
I will try out what you suggest any ways.

Preserving HTML links when converting Word docs

I created a document in MS Word for Mac 2011 (ver 14.5.2)
When I used Adobe Pro 11 to convert the document into pdf format, all the HTML links are lost.
I have tried converting from MS Word, opening the word version with Adobe Pro, printing from MS Word to pdf. Nothing works. Even opened the MS Word document using Apple's Pages software, re-formatted and then converted to pdf. Still no live links.
Best work around so far is to convert and then use the edit feature in Adobe Pro to re-insert the HTML links as invisible rectangles on top of the still-blue-and- underlined text. So to the user it looks like the html links are still live, but what a pain for editor.
I have seen this issue raised in other posts, but none of the answers seem to work. And the work around described above is clearly less than ideal.
Very curious, as reading other posts, the issue apparently does not arise when the word doc converted from a Wintel computer. But I can't imagine Adobe writes software one way for Intel and another for Mac.

Imagine it. this has been 15 year fued between Microsoft and Adobe. Adobe Claims that Mac office doesn't hav ethe proper hooks for URLs. Microsoft says the fault is with adobe.
Since a Word Created file will work when opened in the windows version and saved as a PDF, the links work just fine. Just opening and not saving, but converted to Pdf does nothing to the actual Word File.
They had it fixed last year in Acrobat X if your dropped the file on to Acroabt directly. But broke it again with the upgrade to XI.
IF you have iWork and Open the word file in Pages then exported as a Word.docx file then create The PDF the links will become active. Also if you Open in OpenOffice and export as docx file the resulting PDF when open in Word and PDF is Created the links will become active.
If you have neither you will have to open the PDF and add the links. Note the Links will be hot (active) but the links will not turn Blue and be Underlined
Mac Office2011 is a Conversion of Office2010/2007 code. So there should be no pproblem.
Also Don't use the Save As . . . PDF Method. Instead go to Print Menu click on PDF wait for context menu > the choos Adobe Quality PDF or Adobe PDF (uses Adobe's PDF engine).
wait for next screen that shows qualtity leave as sent unles you need specific job options. click okay then next screen File name. Rename as necessary the browser to desired to location then click save. Or you can drop the saved Word document (with Word quit.) on to Acrobat and after a minute or so the PDF will be created. (Using this method in AcrobatX would actully show URL s or Mailtos as active - They broke this in Acrobat XI PDF still can be created but hot links no longer work).
Well it seems it does work on occasion see: http://www.screencast.com/t/cib2kcYG

How to include HTML link in BI Publisher Report?

Hi,
I am trying to include an HTML link in a BI Publisher report. But I get the HTML Code, not the link.
I have put this in the Data Set SQL Query:
select id_constancia, rfc, apellido_paterno, apellido_materno, nombre, e_mail_empleado,
'a href="http://dbxserver.dbxprts.com:7778/pls/apex/f?p=134:1:::NO::P1_ID_CONSTANCIA:'||ID_CONSTANCIA||'">CITA</a ' as liga_cita
from geiq_constancias
where entregada = '0' and sust_rh = '0'
And I have included the field LIGA_CITA in the rtf template,
But I get this in the HTML output:
=======
Please clic on the link below to log into the system:
a href="http://dbxserver.dbxprts.com:7778/pls/apex/f?p=134:1:::NO::P1_ID_CONSTANCIA:1183">CITA</a
=========
(I removed the beginning and ending '<''>' to prevent the text to be shown as a link)
I have put the property "Make HTML output accessible" to TRUE in the report configuration, but nothing changes.
Does anyone know how to make this work?
Thanks.
Francisco

Hi Francisco,
Note:
your xml should only have
<URL>http://dbxserver.dbxprts.com:7778/pls/apex/f?p=134:1:::NO::P1_ID_CONSTANCIA:1183</URL>
Show me your sample XML , i can help you.
What is your expected output ? PDF or HTML ?
here it is.
option1:
If the XML data includes an element that contains a hyperlink , then you can use that element to create dynamic hyperlinks at runtime.
a. insert hyperlink from word menu
b. In the Type the file or Web page name field of the Insert Hyperlink dialog box, enter the following syntax:
c. {ELEMENT_NAME_WHICH_HAS_URL_LINK}
where ELEMENT_NAME_WHICH_HAS_URL_LINK is the xml data element name
option2:
create a form field, you can add it
<fo:basic-link external-destination="http://www.google..com">
<fo:inline text-decoration="underline">google Link</fo:inline>
</fo:basic-link>
or
<fo:basic-link external-destination="{ELEMENT_NAME}">
<fo:inline text-decoration="underline">google Link</fo:inline>
</fo:basic-link>
or
<fo:basic-link>
<xsl:attribute name="external-destination"><xsl:value-of select="ELEMENT_URL"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="LINK_NAME"/>
</fo:basic-link>

Pdf's Links and Bookmarks

Hello,
I know you can add links and bookmarks within a pdf, that will take you to other areas of that particular pdf. However, I need to put a link or bookmark into a pdf that will allow a user to click on a link in Captivate, Flash, Dreamweaver, etc and be taken directly to that section within the pdf.
Can you create a link on a website that will take you to a particular spot within a pdf? Or will it just open the pdf and display the first page, and then the user would have to scroll to that section?
If this can't be done, what is a good solution?

Thanks so much!

Having problems passing more than one parameter with html:link tag

Hi guys,
for my web application I�m using Struts. I�ve got a database with user details. I would like to get users list and link to the details of each user. I wrote the code and everything is working fine only the users list is repeating as many times as users in the list.
For ex: I have in the database User1, User2 and User3. I would like to have a result like:
User1
User2
User3
Instead of it I have the result like:
User1
User2
User3
User1
User2
User3
User1
User2
User3
What I�m doing wrong? Could somebody help me please?
Thank you in advance
There is a snippet of the code, which I�m using in jsp:
<code>
<logic:iterate id="root" name="user">
 <%
 java.util.HashMap users = new java.util.HashMap();
 params.put("user",root);
 pageContext.setAttribute("usersName", users);
 %>
 <html:link name=" usersName " scope="page" page="/name.do">
 <logic:iterate id="folder" name="user">
 <bean:write name="folder" /> 
 </logic:iterate>
 </html:link> 
 </logic:iterate>
</code>

Suggestion: next time you post code use the "CODE" button to put code tags around it. It formats much nicer that way :-)
You have a nested loop structure here.
<logic:iterate id="root" name="user">
<%
 java.util.HashMap users = new java.util.HashMap();
 params.put("user",root);
 pageContext.setAttribute("usersName", users);
%>
<html:link name=" usersName " scope="page" page="/name.do">
 <logic:iterate id="folder" name="user">
 <bean:write name="folder" /> 
 </logic:iterate>
</html:link> 
</logic:iterate>Both loops iterate over your "user".
Your first loop loops over each user.
Then your second loop also loops over each user - hence you get number of users * number of users = 3 groups of 3.
If you have 4 users, you would have 4 groups of 4.
I only see you setting one parameter: "usersName" What other parameters do you need to pass?
At a guess, the inner loop is unnecessary, and you want to write the users name as the text for the link, and also use it as a link parameter.
<logic:iterate id="root" name="user">
<%
 java.util.HashMap users = new java.util.HashMap();
 params.put("user",root);
 pageContext.setAttribute("usersName", users);
%>
<html:link name="usersName" scope="page" page="/name.do">
 <bean:write name="user" /> 
</html:link> 
</logic:iterate>

Tabbing issues - form fields and HTML links

I have a few HTML links in the top of a page with a form starting half way down the page. When using the tab order, I am able to specify tab order no problem in the form fields but when previewing or using the PDF and tabbing through, the tab order gets thrown out of wack and jumps up to the HTML links from tab order, 1 -2 HTML - HTML - 3- 4- so on... I am unable to scpecify a tab order for the HTML links as it gives no option. I have tried to send the text field to a back layer but it does nothing. Is there anything I can do to correct this?

For many people submit by e-mail can never work, because their PC is
not set up to send email. For example, countless millions use only
Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo or similar.
It's also possible you set options (like "submit whole PDF") that
don't work with the free Reader.
It's best to think of "submit by e-mail" as something to help you in
the prototyping before moving on to a proper web-based solution.
