Pdf hypertext

if I use print->save as pdf to "print" a web page into a pdf, is there a way to make the url hypertexts to remain active/clickable in the pdf?
my attempts show that the hypertext links generated this way are not active when viewed using Preview, adobe reader in a windows environment, adobe reader in a blackberry playbook.
Thanks.

Hi Adriana,
I stay away from Firefox for this very reason. It doesn't seem to show things as well as IE. I don't know if this is because I am missing some plugins, but have you tried using IE.
Possible solution:
It seems that Firefox >1.5 needs to have its security settings changed, using a user.js file, before it will activate links to files. Chrome has similar drawbacks. This browser requires a plugin installed before links to files work properly (see https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/jllpkdkcdjndhggodimiphkghogcpida)
I have also seen the Allow / Block message. It isn't there all the time, but I suspect it has something to do with access rights to the drive / directory / folder where the PDF is stored. I have learned to just live with this.
Note, it is important that you use the correct number of slashes. Previously, Firefox (<1.5) required 5 forward slashes in the link path.

Pdf link

Opening a PDF file with hypertexts on iPad, when a PDF hypertext is clicked more than one time, first time works correctly, other times the link doesn'd works. This happen if the same hypertext is clicked consecutively more than one time. Solutions?

Have a look at this tutorial
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/dvd_access_linkfile.html
and also try doing a quick search on DVD@ccess because this topic comes up quite frequently.
Also, page 540 of my manual has some great info on getting DVD@ccess to work. Make sure your DVDSP preferences are set to enable DVD@ccess and that you Apple DVD Player are also set to enable DVD@ccess.

Hypertext in PDF Issue

Hi all,
I am experiencing an error when trying to add hypertext to my FM Book. In the first iteration of this book, I had successfully added hypertext as to "click" and bring up a different page of the book, a page being a FM Document.
Now, I have added an addendum. When I added the Addendum to the table of contents, I intiated a hypertext navigaion as before, stating to navigate to the Addendum. However, when I export the Book to PDF, "Addendum" in the ToC is clickable, however, it does not navigate to the page.
I have checked and double checked everything. I even tried changing an existing, working, hyperlink, then changing it back exactly to how it was. After these changes (and change back) were made, the same thing occured: Clickable, but does not navigate in PDF.
FM, however, does retain the hyperlink addresses in the FM Book document. But the hyperlinks are not retained in any PDF export.
I can only concur that there is some sort of error when saving documents in FM. I have tried reinstalling FM, but to no avail.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Any suggestions as to where to continue troubleshooting this issue?
**Also, when I do [CTRL]+[ALT] and click on the new "Addendum" hyperlink in FM, it brings me to the Glossary even though it states "Addendum." ... "Glossary," which is the link I changed then changed back, goes to the Glossary....however, does not go anywhere in the PDF.

> Now, I have added an addendum.
Is this a component file of the .book, or something in such a file?
> I intiated a hypertext navigaion as before ...
And how was that done?
Simple cross-references in Frame automatically become hyperlinks in the PDF, when the link and target are in the same PDF.
If you are using Hypertext Markers, you're doing it the hard way, unless the Addendum is an external PDF. Getting that to work is bt trickier.

Some hypertext links broken in generated PDF

Hi all,
I'm using FM 8.0p277 to generate a PDF of a book which uses hypertext TOC links to different chapters and topics. We've been using the same process for some time without any problems:
Generate TOC -> Print book to .ps -> run Distiller.
However, recently some of the hypertext links have ceased to work, seemingly at random.
Sample marker text from a nonfunctional link: openObjectId 01 PP System Theory of Op.fm:2 699335
Sample marker text from a functional link: openObjectId 02 PP Intro & Sys Rqts.fm:2 683648
The broken links are not isolated to a certain paragraph style or even to a specific book.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? I'm really at a loss.

Arnis Gubins
Thank you very much; the broken links were pointing to markers I'd removed during the release process instead of where I thought they were supposed to be pointing. I think it was a PEBKAC issue, but I never would have noticed if you hadn't mentioned checking the link properties.
I regenerated the PDF after fixing the markers in FM and everything seems to be working fine.
Thanks again!

How to: Save as PDF AND preserve Word bookmarks/hypertext links

Is there a way to save a word doc as PDF in OS 10.4 that enables the hypertext links in the PDF file? When I save, i just get blue underlined text in the PDF but it cannot be clicked on to follow the links embedded in the original Word doc.
thanks for any solutions/workarounds.

I wonder if this is actually a limitation of Preview... I've made PDF files with Illustrator that, when I open them in Acrobat have active links. The links don't work when I open the same file with Preview.

PDF conversion with PDF2ID; Hypertext not working when exported back to pdf.

I have done a PDF conversion with PDF2ID, however Hypertext is not working when I exported it back to pdf. I am using the PDF2ID plug-in program to redo all the product booklets for our company as the hypertext did not work when downloaded to any smart phone. All that appeared were blank placeholders in each booklet index page.
According to the PDF2ID people the program plug-in recovers all URLs static and dynamic and bookmarks and local links and suggested I check with Adobe ID5 for help, but Adobe says my $1,000 ID5 is no longer supported and that I should go to the forums.....so here I am.
This is the first time I've even opened my ID5, so I'm a bit lost. Now I need to improve the quality of the PDFs, as we also need to convert all images to TIFF-CMYK in order to have the booklets printed & bound professionally. they tell me ID can do that.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Ugh...in some companies, that is training.
Don't take this the wrong way David, but of course ID can't do anything. PDF2ID conversions can be sketchy in the hands of the experienced. The same can be said of properly preparing matials for print. As Bob has already alluded, you're in an unfair position there. It's not uncommon for "management" types to just throw some sophisticated tools at a need and expect someone to make it work. In order to do what's being asked of you, you'll have to learn a fair bit about InDesign and production. It's too soon to ask about the output when you haven't learned to manage the input.

Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?

Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?
Depending on the system version, and Office Word version:
- a pure URL link starting with http or even www sometimes works in PDF, either produced by Aperçu or Adobe, sometimes does not work;
- other kind of links where the text under display is not a URL, never work!
I like everything with Apple computers and software, except PDF generation. Output files are usually bigger in size, and no better quality, than under Windows. Furthermore, it is weird that something as common as hyperlinks does not work correctly!
I related this question with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but the problem is still there with Mac OS Lion.
This problem seems to have been around for years, without any proper solution from Apple and/or Adobe! To me, this is very embarrassing!

Greetings NoNameGiven,
If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.

Hypertext links not working after pdf conversion

I have a document that contains many hyperlinks to external PDF files. Not sure if I created the link correctly to start with, but when I save the book file as a pdf none of the links to the external pdf files work. I entered the location of the files as the marker tex as shown ../Vendor_Data/Show/vendor_manual.pdf not sure if I need anything in the hypertext field. can someone assist. the directory structure is: c:\techpubs\Frame\files.fm the vendor data is c:\techpubsVendor_Data\data.pdf.
Thanks

> ... many hyperlinks to external PDF files.
What Marker type?
> I entered the location of the files as the marker text as shown
>../Vendor_Data/Show/vendor_manual.pdf
Why is "/Show" in that path?
> ... the directory structure is:
> c:\techpubs\Frame\files.fm
> the vendor data is
> c:\techpubsVendor_Data\data.pdf.
You are missing a "\" after "techpubs", and the pdf names don't match.
I presume that even when you get that working locally, you are aware that it won't work whenever the calling and called files don't have exactly the same directory-relative relationship. This further means that if consumers of your documents make local copies, they also have to recreate that local directory structure, which typically they won't.
Using fully qualified URLs instead of relative path references is more stable, but of course always forces the reference to use the web.

Why does email hypertext in PDF open web browser window in addition to email client?

Using FrameMaker 10, I created the following hypertext: message URL mailto:[email protected] I then printed to PDF. When I click the link in the PDF it opens an email client message window (what I want) but also opens a web browser window with mailto:[email protected] in the address bar (what I don't want). Why would it open both? I don't know if this is a Frame issue (more likely), an Acrobat issue (less likely), or a browser issue (not likely). I hope I'm just missing something easy here.

Should have given the following info earlier...running Win 7 64-bit with Outlook 2010 and Acrobat X Pro. That being said the path to verify "mailto" is different but it is set up fine. Same with Acrobat X Pro...settings are fine.
Also, in reply to Harry28586 this is happening with Firefox, not IE (I should have mentioned that as well).
I've found plenty of threads searching online regarding issues with email links in Acrobat on Win 7 machines with Outlook...many suggest editing the registry. I have no problem doing that but this is a work laptop and we have a don't-fix-it-yourself policy. So I'll keep looking. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Well, I made it to the Apple store and they, contrary to the guys at B&H, confirmed my original suspicion and yours: that the drive was failing. I bought a replacement drive and am restoring my time machine back up now.
I am a bit annoyed that the B&H guys got this one wrong but I have to give them credit for underselling me rather than overselling me; I do appreciate that.
Also worth mentioning is that the 3TB Seagate drive was less than 2 years old and is supposedly still under warrantee. I am looking forward to seeing what kind of support I get from them.
So big thanks to you, Bob, for your very good suggestions. The Apple community has come through strong for me and I appreciate it.

PDF: Ouvrir des liens hypertexte en local et non depuis un navigateur web

Bonjour,
J'ai inséré des liens dans un documents PDF qui dirigent mes utilisateurs vers des fichiers ou dossiers présents sur nos serveurs.
Mais lorsque mes utilisateurs cliquent sur les liens en question, le navigateur web s'ouvre et n'affiche donc pas les documents ciblés.
Est-il possible de changer le programme mis par défaut pour ouvrir les liens hypertext depuis un pdf svp?
Cordialement,

La question tient dans le type d'appel à la ressource : http:// vous enverra dans le navigateur et c'est le navigateur qui détermine ce qu'il fait des fichiers : s'il tente de les ouvrir ou s'il les télécharge… Cette question de protocole et d'URI scheme me dépasse un peu, malheureusement.
Quel type de fichiers souhaitez-vous transférer ?
Une des solutions sur lesquelles je suis tombé est l'utilisation d'un script php sur le serveur qu'on appellera sous la forme :

Hypertext link lost when dela pdf conversion

Hello,
We use Acrobat X Pro and Office 2013. When we convert a PowerPoint document containing hyperlinks in pdf format, the links are no longer active.
Could you help us?
Thank you in advance.
cordially

Hi
Acrobat X does not support Office 2013. For Office 2013, you need to have Acrobat 11.0.1 or higher.
Thanks

Need to Export a hypertext index list or Table of Content when saving as pdf

I have a catalog that is being converted from print to web and will be exported as a pdf and then converted to a flip book using a flash template. The flash template does have this capability and pdf files can and do import table of content text for navigating the pdf document. What I need to do is to take the Table of Contents list from the catalog (which I have tagged with hyperlinks) and have it appear in the pdf as a text-based table of contents with hyperlinks. I saw one post discussing "InDesign's index feature" but don't see that anywhere in my app. I am using CS3 currently. (been told to stay away from 4 til bugs are worked out of .ai and dreamweaver).

You've stayed away from CS4 so long that CS5 will be shipping in the few weeks.
As for your question, I'm not really sure what you're asking. Who's doing this converting for you?
Bob

Comment faire un lien hypertexte vers un PDF externe dans IDCC ?

Dans un document indesign CC (que je vais transformer en PDF interactif) je dois faire des liens vers des PDF. Si je fais un lien vers "Fichier", comme le chemin est donné par "parcourir" sur mon disque, quand je le transforme en PDF interactif et que je l'envoie à mon client, il y a un message d'erreur, il ne trouve pas le chemin.
Comment puis-je faire ?
Merci à vous pour vos réponses

Avec quoi visualisez vous le document pdf ?
À ma connaissance, il n'y a pas d'option de ce type pour les liens dans un document PDF.
Je n'y connais pas grand-chose en web, mais je pense que ces options sont uniquement pour les pages web et ne sont même plus utilisées aujourd'hui.
Normalement, en cliquant sur le lien dans le document PDF, le navigateur internet se lance et ouvre le lien et le document PDF reste ouvert en arrière-plan.
