PDF with video links

Looking to have a pdf file coexist on a CD or Data DVD.
The pdf will have links to various videos, also on the CD.
Problem is, the Drive letter will change based on what computer is used.
Is there a way to properly link to these videos all contained on the same CD or Data DVD?
I'll be using MS Word for the body of the pdf and the links are to housed on a graphic object.
I can put whatever link address in the MS Word file object or modify it in Acrobat.

Be sure the link is relative, not absolute.

Merging pdfs with internal links

I have merged 2 pdfs with internal links. After they were merged the bookmarks work but the links in the text do not. Any help on this?

Hi NovaRbt,
Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat and OS are you using.
How have you merged the two PDFs?
Are those links opening perfectly in the individual PDFs?
Please let me know.

Can I create a pdf with clickable links which open new pdfs?

Hi,
My client now wants me to create pdf with links to open new pdfs (in an offline mode). He wants to put all the content onto memory sticks to hand out at a conference.
I have suggested the alternative of links which redirect to other pages within the same pdf, but if I could create one which open whole new pages or documents this would be really smart.
Many thanks,
Sam

When you create the links, use "Go to a page view" type, as opposed to "Open a file". This allows you to create links that will open another PDF to a particular page and view (zoom and position).

Cannot access a PDF with a link in IE 9.

We have an application that shows a list of PDF Documents as links with in an aspx page. When you click on a link it should open the PDF, and it does on XP pcs. As of tuesday of this week the windows 7 pcs no longer function. The Windows 7 machines are using IE 8 & 9, on these machines when you click on the link it does nothing, except highlighting it in blue. Has anyone else expereinced this problem. It is acting like it disabled the click event for these links.
Thanks for any help anyone can give.

Yes, I was going to post a similar problem as yours. Is this in a secured site? I have a similar problem with adobe reader X(10.1), it cannot open pdf files within IE 9 when the site is secured, IE 9 just stays blank no matter how long I waited. For non secured sites it works most of the time. There is definitely a bug.
Ex. of secured site pdf reader doesn't work.

But if I access the document with the non secured link, it works.

Target for a .pdf with the link target _blank does not open in a new window.

I have a simple html document with links to .pdf documents all set to _blank but only one opens in a new window. The others open as _self. Changing the target doesn't seem to make a difference.
Any idea as to why that is happening?

The Template .dwt file is only used locally by DW itself, there's no reason to upload it to the server unless you intend to share it with someone. You have to upload each individual page that the Template updates, every time you update the template and propagate that change across the child pages.
It would probably be better to use a server side include. That way, you could update one file then upload it and all of your pages would automatically carry that update...

Export to interactive PDF with video

Hello,
i tried many times to create a simple white document with just a place of "flv" video in the middle.
I set up the PDF export to interactive...but when i open the PDF i can't reproduce the video, just see the preview image.
If i export to SWF it works.
how can i export the content to a PDF and include the video in the pdf ??
thank you

Thank you for quick reply.
unfortunatly it's not that problem.
i noticed that the PDF file created is just 27 kb!! the video is like 100 Mbytes...so it seems that i haven't included it in the pdf files.
when i configure the PDF preset in the "Include" frame i have just one choice:
Interactive elements: "Include Appearance"
i see that in the tutorial for export they all have a checkbox with "x Interactive documents" then "Embeed all".
why i haven't this option? maybe cause of this i can't view and include video in pdf?
thanks

Is it possible to show interactive pdf with video on an iPad 2 ?

I have heard that it was not possible to display any interactive pdf file (action field that start a video clip when click or touch) on an iPad 2 ?
I have an application in which I just want to display my interactive pdf file with action field that start a video clip when click. It uses a hyperlink in acrobat. Is it possible to display this on an iPad 2 and allow the user to touch the action field to start a video clip ?? It works in windows (of course).
I was hoping it was possible using pdf because MS power point doesn't work on any applications in iPad2 that will handle the hyperlinking to a video.
I appreciate any suggestions on this topic.
Thank You,
G

Adobe Reader does not have this capability. I'm not aware of any other PDF viewers for iOS that do.

PDF and video links

I just upgraded to RoboHelp 7 so I could fix the active x
popup issue when running program by selecting Add Mark of the Web
checkbox. But now my links to pdf files and video don't work inless
you save first. How can I fix this issue?
Thanks in advance

Hi Kurt
You could probably work past this by using a program called
Server2Go.
Here are the steps you would need to follow:
Download the Server2Go software from
http://www.server2go-web.de/download/download.html
Choose the Micro package
This should result in receiving a zip file named
distribute_apache1.3_micro.zip
Unzip the contents of the zip file to the root of your hard
drive ( C:\ )
This should create a folder named distribute_apache1.3_micro
Open this folder and delete the following files and folders
inside:
Files:
splash.bmp
logo.ico
readme.txt
Folders:
dlls
dbdir
cgi-bin
Open the htdocs folder and delete all files and folders
inside.
Copy all of your WebHelp output files and folders to the
htdocs folder
Rename the WebHelp start page to index.htm
Copy the contents of the distribute_apache1.3_micro folder to
the CD-ROM and test!
Cheers... Rick

Add page at begining of PDF with internal links without it breaking?

Hi
I have a 280 page PDF generated from an online script. The Index contains links to the relevelt sections in the document.
I want to add two introduction pages before the generated index. When I do this with 'insert pages', the links are all out by 2.
Is there a way to add pages to the begining without the links now being out?
Any advice greatly apreciated.

How are the links set up? If you use Named Destinations, they remain in
tact.

Printing InDesign to PDF with missing links

I received a document with lots of missing links for images (and I don't have access to those images)
- but when I printed it to a PDF the images are all there - how can this be? - not that I'm complaining when something works - but need to understand why it worked. Thanks for any help

If it looks like the stop sign with the ? of doom you are just printing the proxy. If it looks like the Mac PICT icon it is embedded. If there is nothing it is linked and useable. One can generally export a pdf regardless of whether it is the best idea.
There is a 4th type of way to put an image in that doesn't show anywhere, though I'm not aware of how that works in terms or breakage. That's likely what you are getting from Word. It is not best practices as it can lead to file corruption when document bloat gets too big, but in small doses where nothing is color critical it isn't gonna hurt anything.

PDF with video doesn't work in iBooks

When uploaded to iBooks the video in a PDF is invisible and doesn't play. The video format/codec is fine as the video plays when uploaded to iPad Video. Does iBooks disable video in PDFs, strange if it does as it works in ePubs when they are loaded into iBooks?

If I remember correctly Adobe Acrobat loads a QuickTime plugin to play videos and to display graphics. iBooks doesn't load any plugins to display graphics and to play videos, HTML 5 doesn't use plugins either.

"Save as PDF" - with working Links?

Hi there,
I just realized that when I use the "Print -> Save as PDF" function, it does not save the links into the PDF. Thus, when opening the file into Preview the links within the document don't work anymore.
Any idea how this could be changed?
Thanks for any advice!

How about choosing "Mail Contents of This Page" from the File menu for the alternative?
It enables the current page to save and email to yourself...

Export to pdf with missing links

I recieved a indesign document with a few missing links on some small thumbnails. Is there any way to embed pictures with already missing links?
using ID CS5
Thanks

PDF export is a background task by default in CS5, so it can look like nothing is happening for a while (or it could be stalled). Open the Background Tasks panel and see if anything is really going on.

Creating a pdf with video

Hi, could anyone please advise which version of acrobat allows you to take video from a digital camcorder and create a pdf from it?
Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Perhaps I didn't word the question correctly.
If I can expand upon my question:
My customer wishes to include video from a digital camcorder in a pdf document. I understand that the video file needs to be either originally in/or converted to flash format. As there are three versions of Acrobat presently (Standard/Pro/Pro Extended), which of these is capable of converting the video to flash and then embedding into the pdf?
I have looked on the product information, but can only see any mention of converting video to flash on the Pro Extended page!
Thanks in advance.

Can I export keynote to pdf with hot links?

I'd like to make a simple PDF of my Keynote slides, but when I do that, I lose the hot links. Is there a way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?

The procedure above results in working interactive PDF files on all my systems using preview reader
or Acrobat pro.
Which version of Keynote is this?
repair for version 6 and above:
perform all these tasks in the order below:
1 delete Keynote, right click Keynote in the applications folder and select Move to Trash
2 restart the Mac; Apple menu > restart
3 immediately after the start chime, press the shift key until you see the Apple logo.
let it fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
4 Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive > First Aid tab and click repair disc permissions
5 when complete, restart the Mac normally
6 install Keynote from the Mac app store
Please report back as this might help others if it works for you.
