PDF hyperlink to web page displays web page behind PDF

We have a development which generates a PDF including hyperlinks to web pages. We issue the PDF out as an attachment and users then read the PDF an click on the link.
The problem we are experiencing is that some users have the web page fire up behind the PDF. So if they have Acrobat Reader in maximised mode and then click on the link the resulting web page doesn't get focus and so they don't see it (very frustrating). This behaviour only occurs on some PC clients but we can't nail what makes it display the page (or not).
We are using a standard desktop of min config Windows 2000 upwards, IE6 up, Acrobat Reader 7.0 up (but we also get the same thing happen on 7.1.0 on some desktops).
Can anyone point us to the component controlling this.
Regards, Mark

The code to do it is:
app.launchURL("http://www.google.com", true);
But keep in mind it's not going to work if the PDF file is opened in non-Adobe PDF viewers.

How do you HYPERLINK a web page address to an EXCEL document in Firefox like is possible in Explorer

How do you HYPERLINK a web page address to an EXCEL document in Firefox like is possible in Explorer?

When you follow a hyperlink in Excel, usually it should open in your default browser. You shouldn't have to do anything special in Excel to create the link when Firefox is your default browser compared with IE. However, the Insert Hyperlink dialog might work differently. I think it might be able to automatically pre-populate a URL from IE, while in Firefox, you need to copy the URL from Firefox's address bar and paste it into the Insert Link dialog.

Hyperlinks to web pages don't work in Captivate 7 or 8

When I design hyperlinks to web pages work but once published they don't. How do i get hyperlinks to web pages to work in Captivate 7 or 8

I should have read that more closely.
It doesn't seem to apply. The only reason that would matter is if you were running the SWF-output from Captivate locally.
ALWAYS test your product from the web to avoid any such security issues.
But yes, if you're putting the published file on a local/network drive, then that security change will need to be applied and, yes, for every computer that accesses the file.
You definitely want to distribute from an HTTP location.
I did hope the first part of that article would help. They're not difficult to setup once you find the option. Just highlight some text and right-click to setup the hyperlink...right?

I don't know what else to say about this. It is a screen that comes up in its own window everytime I open Firefox

Hyperlink to iWeb Page not working

I have created an iWeb page. I have a hyperlink to the page on a document. The hyperlink takes me to a mobile me error page ie "We can't find the page you requested. Please make sure the URL is spelled and capitalized correctly, and try again."
Yet if I copy and paste the exact same url I have entered in the hyperlink filed into the address bar on Safari it goes to the right page no problems.
Any ideas please?

Is that the page you're trying to link to in the PDF document?
I was able to place a hyperlink in an rtfd text file and and Word 2008 document to your web page that works. The link in the Word document takes about 5 to 7 seconds to get to Safari and open the Page. The rtfd document, created with Bean
Bean, a great, free word processor, opens the page in Safari almost immediately.
In Work I used the Insert ➙ Hyperlink menu option and entered the URL of you page and the text to use as the link. For the Bean document I clicked and dragged the link title at the top of your web page onto the Bean page and saved as a rtfd formatted file. If the page is saved as a plain text document the hyperlink is lost.
Click to view full size
If I do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save as PDF from Bean I get a working link in the resulting PDF file. But with Word the link does not work.

Hyperlinks on master pages not working after distilling (InDesign CS4)

Hello,
We have started using weblinks in the PDF versions of my print magazine.
As PDFs exported in InDesign are bloated, we use this workflow for creating the PDF issues:
Export print-ready PDFs of layouts in InDesign CS4 (Mac)
Combine PDFs into a single file in Acrobat 9.5.1
Crop pages and export combined PDF as PostScript file
Distill PostScript file in Distiller 9.5.1 using default "Smallest File Size" (with Page Thumbnails) setting
We hyperlink all web addresses in the body copy.
We also hyperlink the magazine's website address on the primary master page (A). All of the other master pages in the magazine are based on A-Master.
We create hyperlinks by selecting the link, using the New Hyperlink command in the Hyperlink panel, and uncheck the Shared Hyperlink option.
When we export the layouts using InDesign – either using our printer's settings or InDesign's Smallest File Size setting – the links contained on the master page work.
But these links disappear when our PostScript file is distilled into a PDF.
I know there is a bug in CS5.5 that can cause this problem. But is there any workaround or solution for this in CS4?
Thanks.

Why that should be causing the problems, I have no clue.
Thanks for all the input and help.

How to include hyperlink in Endeca page

I have a requirement about including hyperlink into Endeca page. I have an endeca page including external web contents, let's say the url is http://localhost:8080/web/guest/a. I have another endeca page showing orders. When user click on an order on that endeca page, it should go to http://localhost:8080/web/guest/. I just want to know how to implement this feature in Endeca. Any help is appreciated.

For now I can click one of the items in the guided navigation and then go to another endeca page which has OA page in it. Another question for this, could I get the data for what user choose? Say user choose item1 in the guided navigation, then the OA page knows user choose this item and user does not need to enter item id to update the quantity of this item (say the filed of item id is filled automatically because OA page gets data from endeca). The reason why I want to do like this is Endeca cannot update data so I need to use OA framework to update. Does anyone know how to implement this scenario?

Hyperlink to a Page in the current document ? LiveCycle v8.2

Can anyone help me with the syntax to hyperlink to a page in the current PDF ?
I have not been able to locate any information on this !
This is a fill able XFA form & am attempting a Table of Content TextBox on the Main page with links to different parts of the form.
Thanks
Aubrey

All:
What I am looking for is something similar to the hyperlink options in Adobe Pro where you can specify a page # to go to.
Unfortunately, LiveCycle only has the option for a URL or an email. And For the URL, it generates an <a href="the URL"> syntax.
Is there a way to get it to generate a <a id=Page3> javascript ?
Or maybe force the <a href=""> to use an Id in the existing document ?

IWeb hyperlinks to my pages not all working

Hi, I have completed my website and published using my FTP Server.
Problem 1 - When publishing, just as the little "clock" is almost finished it's cycle, an error message displays saying there was a problem publishing to your FTP Server, try again later. But the pages still get published correctly.
Problem 2 - The "red" pages on iWeb do not change to "blue" after publishing.
Problem 3 - (And this is my biggest problem) The hyperlinks to other pages in the Navigation Pane work, but they do not work for my pages that I have NOT included in the Navigation Pane. For example, I have a page called "What We Offer" and on that page there is a list of hyperlinks in case the viewer wants more information, which will take them to another page on my site. But these don't work ... all I get is a blank white page saying something like "the requested URL page could not be found".
What am I doing wrong? Everything else on iWeb has worked brilliantly ... I just cannot link to these hidden pages.
My FTP service providers do not work on apple at all, so they've suggested I download FileZilla so that they can help me.
But I would like to try work this out before downloading another software.
As I said, everything else on the site works perfectly ... it's just the links to these other pages of mine.
By the way I have tried:
Moving objects foreward
Increasing spaces between hyperlinks and other text/pictures
Redoing each and every page

What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?
In the meantime publish your site to a folder on your hard drive, open it with your browser and see if the links are working there. If so then there's an problem with the uploading of the files. If that's the case you should try using the free FTP client Cyberduck to upload the site files. This tutorial might be of interest: #2 - Uploading Only Those Newly Published or Edited Files When Using a 3rd Party FTP Client.
If the links don't work in the local version then you might have something overlapping the link.

How do I navigate from a hyperlink on one page to an anchor within the tab widget?

Hi guys can you please assist me with that issue I am describing in the question: How do I navigate from a hyperlink on one page to an anchor within the tab widget? I assume that it is not working because the tab widget is truly just on one page and anchors work within a page but not a specific tab. Is there a way around that?
Thanks.

an interesting question. Anchors work across pages (global) without any problem. Do they work within tabs or any other widgets I haven't tried, but it looks like you have and without success. I can see the temptation for doing this, but if you think about it why would you? Set the anchor on the page next to the tab(s) and hey presto the user needs only click the tab to which the hperlink refers, nothing could be more convenient! Of course, if the user cannot relate the tab to the hyperlink there's a problem. Generally solved by titling (like if the hyperlink is cats, the tab should preferably read cats and not dogs)! It's the only work around i can think of. Hope it helps.

Create hyperlink to "next page"

Is there a way to create a hyperlink on a master document that automatically goes to the next page in the document?
I can't find that option anywhere, which seems very strange. If I have a document of 50 pages, it is incredibly tedious to have to add a hyperlink to each page with the next page's page number on it, rather than just having a hyperlink in the master document which automatically goes to the next page.

The hyperlink option won't let you do this, but you can use the button feature instead: add an invisible button over your text frame and add the action "Go to Next Page" to that button.
