PDF links work on only half the computers that open them??

Ok, I created a PDF Flyer that has two links.  I created the file in InDesign, exported to PDF (and yes I clicked the "Export hyperlinks" checked box), and when I opened it on my computer, it worked like it should.  I emailed it to the person who asked to me create it and when she clicked on the links, nothing happened.  She tried it like 6 times and finally the link worked and the wepage opened.  But then she tried it again and the link didn't work and went back to do nothing.  We emailed it to another person in our office and the link, like on my computer worked every time we clicked it.  Then we emailed it to another person and the links didn't work at all.....not even once.  We emailed it to a couple of more people and the results were the same.
My question is: How come the links are working on some computers and not on others.  I am using Acrobat 8.0, everyone else is using 7.0...at first I thought that mattered until I realized that half the people that can open it were using 7.0...I thought it had something to do with our internet settings, but for some reason, this PDF is the exception, I have emailed linked PDFs to this person before and she's never had a problem (and she definately hasn't changed a setting in IE)...
So I am just a little confused.  I have created countless linked PDFs and this is the first time I have seen this.
Thanks a lot.

I don't think that going from AA8 to AA7 should be a problem for the links, but just in case use either Reduce File Size or PDF Optimize to save the file to AA7 compatibility.

  • Ipad Remote app works for only half the songs in my iTunes library, and sound still comes out of my Mac instead of my iPad.

    Can anyone offer suggestions? I realize there are two separate issues here.
    1. I thought I successfully connected my iPad with the iTunes library on my Mac/ Hard Drive via the Remote app. However, more than half the songs in my music library will not play on the Ipad; when I click on any one of them using the iPad's Remote app & iTunes, I get a message box that says: "An unknown error occurred. Please check your library and try again." These songs all play fine through my Mac's Itunes program.
    2. I had thought I could use the Remote app to get my library "into"  my receiver, connecting the iPad to the receiver with an RCA-to-headphone adapter. This adapter works great to play music that "lives" on an iPod or iPad.  But it does not seem to be able to access music that the ipad is controlling only remotely. If this is true I will be pretty unhappy...

    Thank you. My two questions have now shifted.
    1. You are right-- I have been unsure as to whether Homesharing or Remote was my answer, and I did set up Homesharing on both my Mac and iPad. It still appears that my music comes out of the Mac, only. How can i use  Homesharing to allow the iPad to play music? 
    2. And I went back to check again, and saw that somehow, the songs that my iPad cannot locate are also somehow missing now on the Mac, even though they used to be accessible. My entire music library is stored on an external hard drive, which I used to connect to my Mac with USB. I just got a new router and now have the music hard drive connected via USB to IT instead of the Mac. I would bet that this is why so much of my library is no longer accessible-- I must have used different settings to save some of my songs, and the hard drive's new location shows that. Can anyone help me make my entire music library playable ? Thanks again

  • HT2506 I am trying to convert  word document to a PDF but only half the document accurately converts. Is there a way to fix this?

    I am trying to convert  word document to a PDF but only half the document accurately converts. Is there a way to fix this?

    I have found that complicated document structures causes Word to split the document into parts, but I've always gotten the whole thing, in multiple documents.
    However, with two pages, I can't imagine it is that complicated.
    Any odd fonts or paragraph styles?

  • Only half the cores/processors being used in bootcamp?

    I have two mac pro computers that are both running bootcamp with Win 7 and both are giving me the same problem. One mac pro was purchased in 2011 and the other is early 2008.
    When I run Cinibench on both these machines I find that only half the cores and processors are being used, more than doubling the render time for the same scenes run in OS X 10.6
    I followed all the online installation guides and have had few problems with running all the programmes I use apart from Studio Max.  Studio Max runs perfectly well on these computers but like I say only uses half the processing power that should be available.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for where I might have gone wrong with the installation or what I can do to rectify this problem.  Any suggestions would be most welcome
    Thanks in advance

    You are wrong:

    If you want to move from a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows 7 or vice versa, you'll need to back up your files and choose the Custom option during Windows 7 installation. Then, you'll need to restore your files and reinstall your programs. For more information about performing a custom installation, see Installing and reinstalling Windows 7.

  • I purchased an album but only half the songs will download. How do I get the other half to download?

    I purchased an album but only half the songs will download. How do I get the other half to download?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one.
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • I edited a movie on iMovie but when i try to upload it to youtube only half the video shows ( its only 3 minutes long) does it need converted? help?????

    i edited a movie on iMovie but when i try to upload it to youtube only half the video shows ( its only 3 minutes long) does it need converted? help?????

    I have the same issue.  If you are exporting from iMovie version 10.0.1, I run into the same issues if I export directly to YouTube or if I export to file then upload to YouTube.
    Google's help file doesn't properly address this problem and thier help is also out of date.  In talking to a support rep at Apple, they said the export to YouTube should just work or the exporting to a file then uploading otherwise it's an issue for Google support.
    If someone can post a solution that works (is a streamable format - which is different than the format that YouTube accepts as it will accept many formats but take a long time to process them), I'd be interested to hear also.
    Thanks,
    Rob.

    Could some one give help and let me know where I can probably find the settings option that allows me to change and switch to previous situation where it was possible to decide time to time how to proceed either opening the file or saving it ??

  • While updating software of Ipad, it stop working and only shows the Apple on screen. How can I recover?

    While I was updating the software of my IPad, it stopped working and only shows the apple logo. How can I recover my IPad?

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Hard driving showing full, but only half the space is used

    iMac mid 2011 with 1 TB internal drive
    It is being reported I only have 70gb of space left.  From looking at my files, I know I have used about 465gb, I scanned my computer using Omni Disksweep and I could not find anything that appears to be bloating the number to almost double my use.  My timemachine backups were to an external drive, so I don;t think that could be the issue.  How can I determine what is using the other 400+ GB of space?

    ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
    Install the app in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
    When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • Watching streaming video and the picture is compressed vertically into only half the window space-what is wrong?

    Using Firefox to look at live video streams from BP undersea operations. The picture in the window that opens is compressed into only 1/2 of the vertical space, so I see a very distorted image.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == has been like this since I installed Firefox a few weeks ago

    Did you start with the generic PAL camera definition in MAX?
    It sounds like you are in field mode instead of frame mode, which should fix the squashing.
    Sounds like a good problem to contact NI support with.
