PDF hyperlinks not working on app

I have pasted a PDF (with working links) on a folio page (folios done in PDF format). The page is uploaded but all links on the original PDF are not working once I view it on the app.
So I'm guessing folios with pasted PDFs on them don't transfer hyperlink properties to the final app? Even thought I've made the folio in PDF format? Does this mean I have to use boxes to create hotspots over the pasted PDF? Is there a way to transfer these properties from the original PDF and skip the hotspot step?
Thanks.

You're right -- the placed PDF loses all its interactivity even when it becomes part of a PDF article. You'll need to add buttons over the PDF as you describe. Also, keep in mind that the Show/Hide Buttons action isn't supported in DPS, so you'll need to use a combination of buttons and MSOs to create hotspots, as described in this article:

  • PDF Hyperlink not working-why?

    I use a variety of hyperlinks within my topics - internally
    within the topic, externally to remote topics, externally to other
    media such as Excel, Word, etc. My problem is with PDF's.
    My coworker can link no problem, and if I work on one of his
    topics, I also see the pdf. If I create the pdf, however, on my pc
    and embed it as a remote hyperlink, when clickin on the link in the
    chm, I get the good ole "Page Not Found" error in the topic pane.
    He and I both have XP and both use Office 2003. In our Word, we use
    the PDF Toolbar to compile our Word Docs into pdfs.
    WEIRD THING: I created several topics awhile back in Office
    2000 and those pdfs continue to work!!!! Everytime I try to update
    however, even those old topics, the new pdf won't open. If I
    restore it to the old pdf, it works again. I assume by this there
    is something weird on my pc with my MS Office - any ideas?
    What kind of setting can we compare? Neither my supervisor
    nor VP has any idea why this happens - Thanks!

    Hi Lisa and all
    Well, I do have one thought that may work. Seems the goal
    here is to use MOTW and still be able to make links work. I'm
    thinking that one could create a redirect topic that would do the
    linking. The trick with this would be to keep the redirect page out
    of the main topic files. After all, the topic files are all
    recipients of MOTW. So how to create a HTML page that doesn't end
    up receiving MOTW?
    Use RoboHelp to create the redirect page. A redirect page is
    created by inserting the following META tag:
    <meta HTTP-EQUIV=refresh CONTENT="0;URL=FileName.PDF">
    Just replace FileName.PDF with the actual file name you wish
    to use.
    Now you should have a topic in RoboHelp that will perform a
    redirect. The trick here is to make RoboHelp unaware of it. So this
    is one of the few times I'll actually suggest stepping behind
    RoboHelp's back and making a change. Right-click the redirect topic
    and look at the topic properties. Click the File tab. See that
    button labeled "Open Folder"? Click the button. Rename the topic
    file name and close Windows Explorer.
    Back in RoboHelp, you should see that RoboHelp now has a
    fancy red X on the topic, indicating it cannot find it. This is
    good and what you want! Just delete the topic from RoboHelp. You
    aren't really deleting the topic. Only the errant reference. Now
    right-click the baggage files folder and import the redirect topic
    as a baggage file. If the topic exists as a baggage file and not a
    normal topic, it shouldn't receive the standard MOTW stamp.
    Give that a go and see if it works. Hopefully it will!
    Cheers... Rick

  • InDesign created PDF hyperlinks not working on a CD

    Forum
    I have multiple large documents (created in InDesign) that we are publishing as pdfs on a CD - they are hyperlinked together in InDesign (interactive dialogue) - but I cant get the links to work after the files are moved to a CD together.
    The paths that are created for the links are just the local path on my computer - no good on the CD. How can I fix this????
    Phil

    The trick is to get everything into one folder- in other words, you have to determine the structure of the CD before you start linking things up with InDesign.
    Create a folder that represents the root directory of the CD. In that folder you want your InD files AND the PDF files that you want to link to, all arranged as they will appear on the final CD. I frequently create "dummy" PDFs for this- they have the file name and they are in the right spot, but they contain nothing but a few words on one page. I can replace them later with the real McCoy, providing I don't change names or locations.
    When it's all over, I remove the InD files and their associated Links folders, and what I'm left with is a single folder that represents the final CD.
    I hope I explained this well enough-- it's much easier to show it than tell it.

  • My camera is not working. the app doesn't work

    Hi dear, My camera is not working. the app doesn't work: I'can't open the app either. It only works using skype, facing me. On the correct side is frozen. tks, bye, Federica

    Have you tried force quitting the Camera app? http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    If that fails:
    Try doing a hard reset: Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears. If that doesn't solve the issue, you could also try backing up the device and restoring the device as new. If that doesn't solve the issue, the device may need service.
    Follow the steps in: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
    If you're not able to restore the device, this one might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Good luck

    Do you mean that it's disabled, that you can't buy items, ... ?
    If it's disabled then you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your iPad then try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it. If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Crystal Report (visual studio 2005)-Hyperlink not working on exported PDF

    I have created a crystal report by using VS 2005, there are some hyperlinks inside the report.
    After i exported the report to PDF, I check the PDF file, none of the link contains inside the PDF file.
    It seems a bug, i google this issue, some people can export to RTF first and then in RTF save as PDF, then the link should be there. I tried it, it works, but it totally mess up my report layout.
    Please advise,

  • Hyperlinks not working in PDF created from Word

    I have created a Word document containing hyperlinks but when I print it to a PDF file (using Acrobat 7.0.9 on Windows Server 2003), the hyperlinks look OK in the PDF file but nothing happens when I click on them.
    In Acrobat, under Edit > Preferences > Convert to PDF > Microsoft Office > Edit Settings, the "Add bookmarks and links to Adobe PDF file" option is ticked.
    How can I get the hyperlinks to work in a PDF file created from a Word document?

    The original post did not indicate the method of creating the PDF. The result that was obtained was what happens when you print to the Adobe PDF printer. To get the hyperlinks embedded in the PDF, you have to use the PDF Maker (create PDF in WORD 2007).

  • Hyperlinks not working in PDf created from Keynote '08

    When I produce a pdf from File > Print in Keynote '08, the hyperlinks do not work in the pdf. I have tried all the various pdf settings (even the ones that export hyperlinks) and no luck, the links are not working in the pdf. If I invoke the File > Export > PDf command in Keynote, the hyperlinks do work, but Export does not provide as much flexibility in PDF creation that File > Print does, thus my need to go to File > Print.
    Any suggestion?

    Are you sure that you really entered a link when you created an Hyperlink?
    The described one is the one which is used by default by every iWork's components.
    We must enter the true one by ourselves.
