PDF links cannot open in IOS8

Since upgrading to iOS8 I cannot open links in pdf files. Its displayed only as text.

Hello there, captainbalu.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great information in regards to opening PDF's on your iOS device:
iBooks: Viewing, syncing, saving, and printing PDFs on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4227
Opening PDFs with iBooks
You can open PDF documents, such as a PDF attached to an email, with iBooks:
When you view a PDF email attachment, tap the Share button in the upper-right corner.
Tap Open in iBooks to open the attachment. iBooks will open, and you can view your PDF.
When you use iBooks to open a PDF, iBooks will automatically save a copy of the PDF to your iBooks PDF shelf. These PDFs will sync to your iTunes Book library the next time you sync your device with iTunes.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

  • Link to file in PDF: Receivers cannot open file

    I am creating an interactive PDF newsletter that is going out to many different recipients. In the PDF I would like to link to various files so the recipients can open them and read additional information.
    My problem is, that when recipients open the PDF on their computer they cannot open the linked files, but I can open them on my computer where they are stored. Do I need to store them somewhere public online for people to open them?

    Do I need to store them somewhere public online for people to open them?
    That's one option. Or you can attach them to the PDF file and adjust the links so that they point to the attached files instead.

  • Corrupt pdf files cannot open

    I have a scanner that will scan documents into PDF format.
    I use this method for keeping my paper storage to a minimum by keeping physical copies of only the most important documents (i.e tax returns).  I scan documents into my laptop and then destroy the originals.  I have Adobe 9 for reading them once they are scanned in.
    My problem is recently my laptop has apparently been selective in what it will and will not open.  Some files open fine with no problems.  Others, scanned with the same scanner into the same format at the same time, will not open.
    The message I get says
    Acrobat could not open 'file name.pdf' because it is either not a supported file or because the file has been corrupted.
    The files were not sent to me via email.  I created them from my scanner or my using the pdf program as a printer (printing Word docs or web pages into pdf instead of onto paper).  When the documents were first scanned, they opened fine.  Now they do not.  Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
    I am very frustrated because I need these documents and they cannot be replaced.

    If I were you, I'd start with the support for the software you use for scanning. Sounds like it's got something out of whack.
    If it's a good PDF, Reader will open it.

  • Creating PDF through Adobe PDF print - Cannot open this file?

    Hello!
    I have a user who I recently installed Acrobat X on their machine.  They are in a program called DSS and he when he goes to file --> Print and then selects Adobe PDF he gets errors when converting a map into a pdf.  It shows the Creating Adobe PDF box and has a progress bar.  Then an error box says Acrobat Distiller:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 10\Acrobat\.......
    Cannot open this file.
    Please check that the correct path and filename are given.
    Magically it converts but the problem is with the errors and sometimes the conversion isnt accurate. What port does this need to be on becuae I notices it defaults to COM1???
    Thanks, any help would be much appreciated.

    Please have the user post, we need much more information. Operating System, Service Package, 32-bit/64-bit. If 64-bit is the program 32-bit or 64-bit native? Version of the program DSS.  What kind of program is DSS and who makes it? Googling DSS doesn't help much since there are several choices.

  • When I send a link, the receiver of the link cannot open it by clicking on it.

    I have set my default email properly and a link is able to be sent to an address but the recipient cannot open the link by clicking on it. I am using a new computer now and everything worked perfectly on my old computer.

    Hi.
    That is happening (most likely) because Firefox is not storing your browsing history for long, or at all. Go into Tools > Options > Privacy and make sure the configurations are set as you want them to be. If they are, it's likely you have some security software that's erasing your Firefox's history (and possible other browsers' if you have them installed). The most likely suspects are antiviruses, firewalls and security suites, but clean-up utilities like CCleaner are also capable of cleaning Firefox's browsing history and other personal data. Make sure you don't have them configured to do so.
    I should remind you, however, that some sites (they are rare, though) don't have their links change color when visited. That happens only when their authors deliberately make them not change the colors. You can force websites to use a color scheme of your choice by going into Tools > Options > Content > Colors... and unticking "Allow pages to choose their own colors". You can also configure the color scheme in that screen.
    I hope this helps.

  • Issue with PDF links and opened Adobe files

    I have tested and IE 8 opens correct links inside PDF's.
    When I open link in Mozilla or Chrome it will not work.
    Is this related to Adobe Plugin which is installed inside Add-ons?
    Strange is that link inside PDF shows the following link:resource://pdf.js/web/
    After checking support issues there was quoted in the past:
    The current Firefox 27 beta release still doesn't show the links properly using version 0.8.641, but the current Aurora 28.0a2 build does show the links to the Appendices properly using version 0.8.759.
    So that would mean that when Firefox 28 gets released in March it will work for users with this Firefox version.

    This is likely a problem with the way those links are coded in the PDF file, so the file may have to be saved again using different settings to make it work with PDF Viewers other than the Adobe Reader.

  • PDF link not opening in IE 6.0 in Portal

    Hi !
    I have made an URL iView to display a PDF file placed on the Portal Server. I have attached this iView in the Related Links section of the page.
    Now when i click the link, a new page opens and just closes abruptly. But if i give a word file link in the same iView then it opens perfectly well.
    Does it have to do with some ActiveX plugin required to view PDF files in the browser. If yes, could you please enlighten me on this? OR does this have some setting on the Portal Server where this PDF file reside??
    Thanks ,
    Jitendra

    Hi George !
    Thanks for your reply.
    Actually i know that this file can be stored in KM repository but there are a few scenarios i would like to mention:
    1) I do not have KM installed in the Portal environment i am  working on.
    2) I am having the problem only with a PDF file. As i mentioned a word file is perfectly opening if its is placed on the Portal server.
    So i thought maybe this PDF file is a special case and would need some settings to make it work.
    Is there a way out?
    Thanks,
    Jitendra.

  • Pdf file cannot open

    Hi.
    Every time I try to open the pdf file my Adobe Reader cant open it. I tried to open another pdf files and it was easy and effective.
    How can I open my .pdf file?
    thanks in advance!

    Following steps can handle it
    Remove the PDF file that was corrupted by sending it to the recycle bin then empty the recycle bin. Download the PDF file again from the original source. While the Acrobat is downloading the file, limit your computer usage, this will only take a few minutes so just walk away from the computer momentarily. Open the new PDF file once the download has completed.
    Remove your Adobe Acrobat Reader program. Click "Start" and select "Control panel." When the control panel opens find "Adobe Acrobat Reader" click on the program then select "Uninstall." Allow the program to complete the entire uninstall process.
    Reboot your computer by clicking the "Start" then select "Restart." When the computer is finished rebooting reinstall the "Adobe Acrobat Reader" from Adobe official site. Download the latest version of the "Acrobat" for your computer's operating system. This will take a few minutes to complete the reinstall.
    Download the PDF file again by visiting the website that you obtained the corrupted PDF file from. The file should be able to open correctly, but if you are still getting a corrupted file, proceed to the next step.

  • Just recently when I go to save a document as a pdf (Mac. OS X 10.5.8) (Print save as pdf ) I cannot open the saved pdf. I get an error message that the file is corrupt or there has been an error.

    I use both aol and Yahoo for email - the problem appears in both. It does not happen in Word.
    This computer is on a wireless home network, but the error mssg appears no matter where I save the PDF. This is not a problem in Safari.

    {Ctrl + P} and select your printer in the Printer - Name box near the top of that window.

  • Cannot open pdf files in Firefox.

    I cannot open pdf files in Firefox. (I can in Chrome).
    I tried Menu - Preferences - PDF - Use Adobe Acrobat Professional. Also tried the same with PDF Browser Plugin 2.4.4
    Clicking on a PDF link just opens a blank page.

    When I enter about:preferences#applications <Enter> in the address bar, then for PDF it shows:
    pdf File (application/x-download) ... Use Adobe Acrobat Professional
    pdf File (application/x-pdf) .... Use Adobe Acrobat Professional
    Portable Document Format (PDF) ... Save File'''
    I would like all PDF's to open in Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional.
    Right now none of the PDF's open at all, so opening in Firefox or any other viewer would be preferred over not showing up at all.

  • Cannot open PDF files on Mac

    I cannot open PDFs on my Mac but can open the same files on my PC.  When I create a PDF from the computer and when I send it to our office printer as a scan-PDF, I cannot open either.  Have downloaded Adobe Acrobat, etc., and still waiting for a response from them.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Don't use Acrobat, use Preview. Preview is already pre-installed on your computer. If you cannot locate it, type Command-Shift (opens Spotlight) and type in Preview and hit return.

  • Is there a way to make links automatically open in a new window / new tab when viewing the PDF online

    Hi there,
    Currently we are adjusting our PDF files at our company, in order to make them more "user-friendly".
    We are looking for a way, when our customers view the PDFs online, that the URL that is in the PDF, when clicked on, will automatically open in a new window, instead of opening the URL in the same window as the PDF is opened..
    Could some-one please help me this?
    regards,

    It worked for me. See the source of my example at (PDF link to open in new window). (Sorry, that is the default title of the test page.)

  • Link to open pdf file in new window

    I want to create a link on a web page to open a pdf file in a
    new window. I used the "on click" "open brower window". Which does
    open the pdf file, but not in a new window. How do I open it in a
    new window?

    Your code is a mess:
    ** there is no apparent reason for the span:
    <td><span class="style1"
    onfocus="MM_openBrWindow('pdf/PR_launch.pdf','','')">Milford, OH
    So change that line to:
    <td>Milford, OH
    ** here you have two double quotes before This.
    <a title="”This" class="pdfFile"
    onclick="MM_openBrWindow('pdf/PR_Launch.pdf','','')"
    Change it to this, (with some other improvements):
    <a title="This" class="pdfFile"
    onclick="MM_openBrWindow(this.href,'','');return false"
    ** This is code salad:
    href="”PR_Launch.pdf”" link="" will="" open="" a=""
    .pdf=""
    file.”="">More (PR_Launch.pdf,
    230kb)</a></span></td>
    Change it to:
    href="pdf/PR_Launch.pdf">More (PR_Launch.pdf,
    230kb)</a></td>

  • Opening PDF links in IE8 - show URL

    Hi there
    In IE8 it seems pdf links automatically open up in Adobe Pro or Reader rather than in the browser. Previously it opened up in the browser and showed the URL. I've tried changing the setting in Adobe Pro and Reader - Preferences - Internet - Display PDF in browser, and still no change?
    OR do you know of a way to find the URL when it opens up in Adobe Pro or Reader? I need to use the URL which is why I need to open the pdf in a browser.
    I am not an advanced user - any help appreciated!
    thanks!

  • Im using Firefox v. 14.0.1 and Mac OS X 10.7.4. Recently I have not been able to open and pdf links. Solution?

    When I click on a pdf link nothing opens up.

    Try to disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox and use the external Adobe Reader program or Preview instead.
    *Firefox > Preferences > Applications > Adobe PDF document : Use Adobe Reader
    PDF files may also be found under another entry like Portable document.
