Pdf links that work in XP won't work in Windows8

I have 100's of pdfs created via msword/acrobat8pro with hyperlinks between the docs. These work fine on my old pc running XP, but the links fail to work in Windows 8. Links within docs and to the web work, but its the links between different pdfs that fail. Any ideas how to resolve this?

The topics and page numbers in the table of contents of a document are linked to the referenced headings. The links work when I test them with Acrobat Professional.
In Acrobat reader the links don't work.

  • Firefox froze up. So I removed from computer and reloaded. If I close Firefox, can't restart by clicking on the icon. Have to end process in Task Manager. It then starts. Some links on some web pages won't work.

    Hi,
    As I say in the question I don't know what happened but Firefox just stopped operating and then became erratic. So I removed the firefox programme from my computer and reloaded Firefox.
    It now runs normally but I can't run Firefox on two tabs, only one, and if I close it down during a session I can't reopen it using the desk top icon. I go to task manager, processes, and end process for Firefox - then I can start it using the icon on the desktop.
    I have also noticed that some links on a web page won't work - javascript is involved.
    Thanks for your herlp,
    Mike FD

    It sounds like you are getting in a hurry.
    If you force Firefox to close in a hurry, then it won't normally start until you re-start the computer. There are ways around this, but I'm not going to go into them right now.
    None-force way to close Firefox down: Close the program and wait. Do something else. Firefox appears as if it is closed, but it's not. Firefox cleans out cookies and it's cache after you close it. That takes a few minutes. You can't restart it while it's doing house cleaning.
    After it is done, then you can restart Firefox normally. You can watch it in the Task Manager.
    The same applies if you are installing javascript. You have to wait a few minutes.
    As for running it with multiple tabs, I usually have 5 or 6, or more, tabs open at a time. Have no idea what the problem is there. Firefox needs special permission by use of a pop-up option to close with multiple tabs open.

  • Missing PDF link that is no longer in the document?

    Hello -
    I have this document that previously had a multi-page PDF linked file. After several iterations the PDF images were removed from the document. Recently our IT had decided to rename our servers so all the links in the document had to be relinked and that is when i noticed that Indesign still thinks this PDF is in the document even tho it doesn't designate a page number within the Link tab nor does it jump to the link upon "Go to Link". I have even tried to relink to the new location and it does nothing... i'm scratching my head. At the moment it has no adverse effects or corruption to document or otherwise, but i'd hate for something horrible to manifest itself later. Any ideas?
    One thing to note, is the PDF file name has "-" in the name. Not sure if this matters but i've seen some chatter here that refer to anomolies with alternative text in the file names.
    I'm working in CC and on a Windows 7.

    Thanks for the tip, Bob. This worked! I will need to check and see if all the graphical features came through - there are not very many.
    Cheers!

  • Printing to PDF (custom page size) from AutoCAD Won't Work Anymore

    The DWG to PDF driver provided with AutoCAD 2013 will not save my artwork to a high enough resolution for me to use.  See attached screen shots of the PDF's printed by AutoCAD's DWG to PDF driver.
    The only PDF print driver that I have found that will is the Adobe PDF driver provided with my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro software.  See attached screen shot of the PDF printed by the Adobe PDF driver.  HOWEVER, I can only print to a standard paper size and I MUST print to a custom page size.  When I try printing to a custom page size it will no longer let me save the PDF.  It simply skips the save window.  It used to work fine up until this past week, but when I came into work on Monday morning it stopped working.  I cannot for the life of me figure out why it won't work now!
    DWG to PDF set to Maximum Quality (400 DPI)
    DWG to PDF set to Custom 1200DPI
    Adobe PDF set to Custom 4000DPI

    Try opening the DWG file in AutoCAD 2013 and changing its file format to an older version of Autocad (i.e, 2010/2011/2012).

  • Disc that needs flash player won't work

    I have a disc that goes with my textbook for class that
    requires the use of the flash player. I bought a new computer for
    school that has Windows Vista. I installed the flash player 9, but
    the disc still won't play. The flash player works for sites on the
    internet, but not for the disc. I tried it on an older computer
    that had flash player 7 and it worked fine. But, I heard the Flash
    Player 7 won't work with Vista. Is there anything that I can do
    about this. Buying a computer was a waste of money if I can't use
    it for school - which is why I bought it.

    Hi Andy, that is correct, they don't support PPC Macs anymore.
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,
    Download this if you haven't...
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp10.1.102.6 4_and_9.0.289.0archive.zip
    Once downloaded if it doesn't unzip automatically the double click on that file.
    Look for the fp10.1.102.64_and_9.0.289.0archive folder, open it, look for the Flash Player 10.1.102.64 folder & open and look for 101r10264 folder & open it, double click on the flashplayer101r102_64_ubmac.dmg file, choose the Install Adobe Flash Player file to install... they don't make it easy!
    Or smaller here...

  • Not open new tab (empty) when clicking on a .pdf link that can't be read in FF (no plug-in for pdf)

    When I click on a pdf file that should be able to be open in Firefox (with plug-in), FF open a new empty tab and ask to open or save the file.
    I would like that in case of FF not being able to open the pdf file, it skips the "open empty tab" part and directly go to "open/save" part.
    Is there a way, server side, to tell FF to do so or is there only only client side solution ?
    NB : In case that pdf can be open in FF, or any other browser, it should still be open in the browser and not be asking to "open/save", the point is only the empty tab.

    Is it possible you were using the Tab Mix Plus extension on your Windows system? Tab Mix Plus has a feature to force bookmarks into a new tab automatically when you left-click instead of the default behavior of opening in the same tab.

  • I am running FireFox 3.6 on a secondary computer running XP. I am constantly getting reminders about updating, but warned that my free AVG won't work

    It always says that a fix is coming, but never seems to be delivered. I am happy to upgrade to FireFox12 but not until the virus software will work.

    AVG will still be working after you update to Firefox 12.<br />
    That message is more likely about ad-ons added by AVG to Firefox.<br />
    Extensions that AVG might add to Firefox may stop working, but we already see a lot of issues reported caused by some of them (e.g. AVG Safe Search) that it may be better to leave them disabled anyway.

  • SWF works originally but won't work after making changes, then saving

    I have two small flash elements that are embedded into a website, and upon first exporting the swf and putting into the html in Dreamweaver, worked like a charm. After making edits to the Flash file, then exporting the swf a second time - no changes on the publish settings - upon deleting the old, then putting the new swf object into dreamweaver, they won't work. This has happened with both the flash piece on the home page, and on the "what we do page". Below are links to what's currently up, but I've made edits since those that I can't post!!
    I'm completely baffled. I've even done "save as" to overwrite the original file, then replace in Dreamweaver, but nope....

  • Safari stops working.  Mail won't work with Safari running.  Now iTunes can't find my phone.  If I restart and do one thing at a time it helps but still not reliable.  All software on my iMac is up to date.

    I have a new iMac and iPhone 4.0.  All software is up to date and I have installed the free beta version of Mountain Lion which let me use iChat on my computer.  Safari intermittently stops working.  Mail won't access my mailboxes if Safari is running.  Now iTunes won't find my iPhone when it's locked and in a dock charging.  If I restart I can do 1 thing at a time, but I can't have Safari running and use Mail.  I've emptied my cache, checked my passwords.  It's none of that.  By process of elimination, there is some kind of conflict between using multiple applications on the Internet at the same time.  Sometimes after I've gone to several Internet sites Safari will stop working properly even though all other applications have been "quit".

    Oops. You installed the beta Mountain Lion on your main hard disk? Usually most people install it on a secondary or external hard drive. Your situation should actually be posted on the Developer web site for Moutnain Lion and not here. All I can suggest here is to run repair permissions and restart. Sorry. 

  • Sync with .mac never seemed to work great, now won't work at all

    sync never seemed to work that well for me, now it won't work at all. I get the following message now:
    .Mac Sync Error
    A failure occurred while synchronizing the .Mac Sync Client.
    I've tried reseting all the .mac stuff, but nothing seems to work now. Its pretty frustrating. Plus, while mac support in the store and over the phone is superb, .mac support online is a joke. Doesn't anyone have any suggestions?

    With the exception of a framework reset, iSync no longer has anything to do with .Mac synchronization, which is instead handled exclusively by .Mac Sync.
    I would start with a search of this forum for the error messages you describe:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=957
    Some of the same users who answer questions here regarding iSync, also do that there for users of .Mac Sync.

  • PDF link that will open in a new window.

    Is there a way to link to a PDF file so that it will open in a new window. The same way that a link to an external page can do. Can I put it in iDisk and do it that way.

    1. Create a folder in your iDisk/Web/Sites folder.
    2. Name it something like 'files' or whatever
    3. Copy your .pdf or any other file to that folder
    4. web.mac.com/username/nameofthefolder/nameofthefile.extension is the address at which the file will be stored on the web
    Example: http://web.mac.com/username/files/nameofthefile.pdf
    Put this url as Link to: an external page (changing username and name of the file).
    It should work with open in a new window.
    Regards,

  • I have a late 2010 MB Air (mini display port) and a new 2013 iMac (thunderbolt) which I would love to use as an external display. I suspect that target display mode won't work.Any ideas for how to achieve this?

    According to the TDM support page, this isn't possible. I tried it with a Mnidisplay port to minidisplay port cable without success. Its a shame that thunderbolt doesn't appear to be backwards compable as I could have achieved this with an older iMac.
    Cheers

    You are correct....it will not work. Please carefully read Apple's Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • Firefox can't open PDF links that have been rewritten in .htcaccess

    I have a Wordpress multi-site, and my problem is that Firefox can't open any of the PDFs that I have there. I get a dark-gray screen and it says "This PDF document might not be displayed correctly", but I am able to download it. In .htaccess I have this rewrite rule for files:
    RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
    The thing is that if I write the actual path to the file it opens it in preview just fine. Also, Chrome and IE don't have this problem.

    Hello,
    In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
    #Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
    #In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
    #In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
    #On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • HT1349 I just got iPad 3 and I am trying to download all app to my iPad it takes forever and for the one that finish downloading, it won't work when i tap on it. Anybody knows what is going on?

    I have ipad2 and just got iPad 3 so I try to download all purchased apps to my new iPad but it takes forever and all apps that downloaded are not working, I already restore my old iPad to give it my little girl. Anybody knows what is going on and how cani fix this to have all of my apps to my new iPad. Thank you for reading my question .

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is absolutely safe.
    Also try downloading another free app and then try again.
