.pdf with Word hyperlinks opens in internet browser, or not at all

I'm using Adobe Acrobat X and Word 2010.
When I create a .pdf from the Word application, all the hyperlinks work fine, EXCEPT that they open in the default internet browser instead of Reader. If I create the .pdf through Acrobat the links don't work at all.
I didn't have this problem until I upgraded to Acrobat X, Word 2010 and Windows 7.
Is there a way to get the Word-created .pdf links to open in Reader?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

That would work on my PC, but unfortunately I can't control how each of our users have their browser set up. We require them to have Reader installed just for that reason.
Thank you, though.

  • Is there a plug-in yet that will allow pdf forms to be opened in the browser and submitted?

    Is there a plug-in yet for Firefox that will allow pdf forms to be opened in the browser (instead of downloaded), and then submitted to an e-mail address using the submit button on the form? I finally installed the plug-in that allows a pdf to open in Firefox and not downloaded, but the Submit button doesn't work.

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Are you talking about displaying a webpage directly inside of an Oracle Form or simply opening a webpage (in a browser window) form a Form?
    If you want embed a webpage in a Form, then this can only be done by extending Forms functionality througha Java Bean.  Take a look at this Java Bean:  A Full Web Browser Java Bean .
    If you just want to open a web page from Forms the MST is correct.

  • Hi there, I have much files saved on pages ( ios ipad) , I just open it today and did not find .all the files !!!! Just 4!!! Taken in consider that I did not delete or making any wrong action. How I can return the lost files!!!! Help please

    Hi there, I have much files saved on pages ( ios ipad) , I just open it today and did not find .all the files !!!! Just 4!!! Taken in consider that I did not delete or making any wrong action. How I can return the lost files!!!! Help please
    its very important files!

    tis true
    I know, I always do that but I was in a rush to get somewhere and I was relying on my thousand dollar Mac to do some kind of recovery or something. I know Microsoft always keeps temporary files (I think Mac does too, part of me asking here in this forum was for someone to tell me where I can find those files) and when you go to open Office Works then it gives you the option of opening the last recent documents, saved or not saved.
    I usually copy paste into my emial just in case something goes wrong with the created document but I just didn't have the time to login and do all that My loss, you live and you learn, BUT still if ANYONE got any info on this, PLEASE DO CHIME IN *keeping the hope alive*

    First of all, I would have to say that getting in touch with you is a nightmare and I am not at all happy that I can't just email or live chat with someone who can help!  I am not a technical person, I just want to be able to use Photoshop Elements and get on with it. I bought Photoshop Elements via Amazon some months ago and it worked fine.  I then got a message that advised that the trial version would expire, which it subsequently has (I have been trawling your site for weeks and weeks trying to find an email or phone contact to get some assistance).  Relucltantly, I am now typing this - and I suspect it will not help in the slightest!  I bought the FULL not TRIAL edition of Photoshop Elements and I have contacted Amazon who confirmed this, but say I need to contact you.  Can you please let me know how I can resolve this?  Louise A Fraser

  • PDFs with active hyperlinks become disabled when opened in a browser

    I created pdfs with hyperlinks from Indesign CS6, and they work when opened in Acrobat. However, my client uploaded them to their website and had the pdfs open from within the browser. Then, all hyperlinks become disabled. Is there any way to force them to stay active when opened in the browser on their website, or do they have to make them "downloadable" pdfs?
    Thanks.

    "Preview in Firefox" means all PDF files are processed through and rendered by the Firefox PDF viewer.
    As you have noted this in-built PDF viewer is somewhat less than ready for prime time (similarly with the in-built PDF viewers available with other contemporary browsers).
    Eventually these browser vendors may deploy something that actually has some greater measure of ISO 32000 compliance.
    Until then always configure all browsers used to make use of what is provided with an install of Adobe Reader or Acrobat.
    Be well...

  • PDFs and Word Files open on iMac but not Macbook Pro

    I own an iMac and a MacBook Pro. Recently, I've been having an issue with some PDFs and Word files that have been emailed to me from different contacts. All open—and can be seen using Quick Look—on the iMac. However, on the MacBook Pro it's a different story. When I try Quick Look all I see are the icons. When I try to open the PDFs in Preview (default app for me) I get an error message saying the file could not be opened and might be damaged. When I try to open the Word doc in Word, Pages or Bean I see all of the extraneous header information etc and the text is all mixed up in that formatting junk. I have repaired permissions, cleared out my user cache, restarted—pretty much everything I can think of. But no luck. Thought?

    Brilliant suggestion! I checked all the display settings on my iMac 27" and confirmed they were the same settings as my MacBook -- until I checked the Window 7 screen resolution. Because of its size, I had expanded the screen across most of the monitor. When I changed the resolution to one suggested or configured by Windows, Approach worked fine. I've now tested it on quite a few of the settings, and as long as I let Windows determine the best resolution (on my iMac 27" it seems to be 2043 x 1276), Approach works like it should. Thank you!

  • Embedding PDFs with live hyperlinks?

    Hi Everybody-
    I was originally updating my site just by copy/pasting text into textboxes on my site, but I have run into a lot of formatting issues between FF, Safari, and IE...surprise surprise.
    So...I want to just take all the text I plan to add each day, turn it into a PDF and just insert the PDF onto one of my pages. This works great and relieves me from the formatting nightmare. However, almost everything I will be adding has a hyperlink along with it. When viewing in Preview or Adobe, all the links are live, but when I insert the PDF into the webpage, users can not click the links.
    Is there a way to enable hyperlinks for the PDFs I am embedding?
    Thanks!

  • Cannot convert pdf to word, then open.

    I recently purchased adobe to convert pdf to word.  I go through all the steps, the file is supposedly converted and saved into a downloads folder.  From there I cannot open the file, or save it to another file, as is suggested.  The same 'prompt' box just keeps popping up and I can never actually open the file.  What am I missing?

    Sara:
    A little more cumbersome but going to the AdobeAcrobat.com works.
    Thanks for the help.
    Have a great day.

  • Syncing Mail with Word attachments without the internet?

    Is there a way to sync email with Word doc. attachments with a desktop, via a usb cable, without the desktop having an internet connection?
    The setup is an iphone that syncs mail with a work computer that is internet connected. At home there is no internet accept Edge; i.e. iPhone gets internet but the desktop does not. I would like to use the iphone to move Word docs from emails back and forth to the desktop. I.e. someone emails me with a word doc attachment, (ii) Can I then sync (download) the attachment onto my home computer via a USB cable, edit the document? and then (iii) sync (upload) the edited word document back to the iPhone (which will then sync with my work computer via the Edge connection.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hey Tooschaye,
    iTunes will sync the email account settings to the iPhone, it does not sync the actual emails or attachments.
    You should be able to find a few applications on the App Store which will let you store files on your iPhone. Then you can transfer the files to your desktop. I believe most of these apps require the devices be on the same Wi-Fi network.

  • PDFs Requiring Password to Open When That Option is NOT Configured

    TSPAM:
    Problem: PDFs that were created WITHOUT a password required to open are asking for passwords before they will open.
    Expected Result: PDFs should open without asking for an open password unless they were configured to require a password to open.
    Analysis: PDFs were created via export from InDesign CS6 to PDF Version 1.7 (Adobre PDF Library 10.0.1). Document restrictions were defined as, Allowed: Printing, Content Copying for Accessibility, Commenting, Filling in Form Fields, Signing, Creation of Template Pages; other abilities Not Allowed. Restrictions use password security. Require a password to open is NOT set active.
    Once posted online, several users report that the PDFs are requiring a password to open.
    I can't duplicate that behavior--meaning that I'm never prompted for an open password--in Acrobat X or XI on Windows 7x64 or Mac OS 10.8x or in Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Safari on those systems.
    The PDFs in question are linked from this page: http://iampariah.com/blog/creative-pro/cs6-keyboard-shortcut-cheatsheets.php

    Hi Pariah,
    There are two things here, 1) what is the version of the unencrypted PDF, and 2) how was the file encrypted.
    The "may not display correctly" message occurs when the version of the PDF file is greater than what the PDF viewer (for us that's either Acrobat or Reader) understands. As an example, when Acrobat 1.0 came out 20 years ago it only understood PDF version 1.0. When Acrobat 2.0 was released it understood PDF version 1.1 and earlier. By Acrobat 8 it understood PDF version 1.7. If you had a PDF file that was version 1.7 and you opened it in Acrobat 7 (which I'm sure you've figured out only understands PDF v 1.6) then you'd get the "may not display correctly" message. Acrobat 7 would do its best to render the PDF, but if it came across something it just didn't understand it wouldn't (couldn't) display it.
    Encryption is a bit different. Let's say you encrypt a file using Acrobat 10 and use the AES 256-bit encryption algorithm. If someone where to try and open the file in version 8, which only understands AES 128-bit encryption the the file could never be opened.
    Finally there is the issue about how the password is saved. Acrobat 10 and later use a different methods of Unicode normalization and canonicalization then previous version, so if you've save a password using the Acrobat 10 or later settings then earlier versions cannot properly check that the password you've typed in matches what the document author set. I know this message thread started with the notion that there is no Document Open password, but it's not quite that simple. There really is a password, its just set to "NULL". However, Acrobat (and Reader) versions 9 and earlier cannot reconcile "NULL" set in 10 as they would "NULL" set in 9 and before. Thus, when the file tries to open in an earlier version you get prompted to reenter the password.
