Please help! Broken internal cross references.

I'm creating a 20-page PDF from a PowerPoint file. In the source PowerPoint document, I've embedded internal cross references that DO initially carry over when the file is saved out as a PDF. However, whenever I rename the resulting PDF or move it to a new location, all of its internal cross references cease working. I can click on them, and they "flash" once, but they do not take me to a different page. I've been able to replicate the issue on other computers, both inside and outside my organization, and in both Mac and PC environments.
Is this something to do with relative vs. absolute links? Is the issue likely on Adobe's end? Or on PowerPoint's? Is there some setting I need to change somewhere?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts. I've spent hours trying to research and diagnose this problem, to no avail.
For what it's worth, here are some of the tech specs of my system:
- Acrobat v7.0
- PowerPoint 2007
- Windows XP
- To save the PowerPoint as a PDF, I'm selecting the Windows button from the upper-left corner, hovering over "Save as", selecting "PDF or XPS", selecting "PDF" as the file type, selecting my desktop (or other location) as the destination, and clicking "Publish".

Some observations.
Acrobat 7 — PowerPoint 2007
Office 2007 applications are not supported by Acrobat 7's PDFMaker
See: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/compatible-web-browsers-pdfmaker-applications.html
MS "Mac Office" — Acrobat 7
Acrobat 7 supported Office X and Office 2004 only.
Scroll to the bottom of the link above.
You'll see that, with contemporary releases of Mac Office and Acrobat there is no PDFMaker support.
From what you've posted it appears you do not have compatible software combinations on either the Windows or the Mac boxes.
Be well...

Broken bookmark cross references in Printed Documentation

Hi,
I'am using RH 10 to generate a printed documentation output. What i notice is that the book marked cross references are broken in the Printed Documentation output. Other cross references are linking fine, but, the bookmarked cross references do not link to their destination.
I generated a chm file for the project and the bookmarked cross references appear fine there. Is there anything that could be tried to rectify this problem.
Please note that i'am using HTML files as the source files to convert to a Word output.
Thanks,
Rupesh

There's no easy way to do this. RH doesn't include any
sequence that will convert to a cross-reference in Word, and
inserting multiple cross-references in Word isn't as easy as
executing a find-and-replace command. The best workaround I've
found so far is this:
1. In your RH doc, include a reference that is easily
distinguished from other text. For example, "For information on
Project Beta, see page BETA."
2. Generate the Word document.
3. Find the first instance of "BETA."
4. Insert a cross-reference to the page number of the Beta
heading.
5. Toggle the field code.
6. Copy the field.
7. Find the next instance of your special text ("BETA" in
this example).
8. Paste the field reference.
9. Repeat this process until you're finished.
Unfortunately, the field code references change each time you
generate the document. Equally unfortunately, Word won't recognize
regular braces and text as a field code reference - you have to use
the Ctrl+F9 sequence to generate them manually. So you can't just
generate the document, insert the first cross-reference, and then
replace "BETA" with {PAGEREF _Ref### \h} across your entire
document - it won't work. Instead, you must visit each reference
and paste the field code sequence manually.
If someone else can improve on this process, I'm sure a lot
of people would be happy. If not, it's the easiest workaround I've
seen here, so you might find it useful.

Please help - broken 5900FX - RMA required

Can you please help me - I need to rma my 5900fx td as it no longer works properly. I get vertical lines every other time or chequered patterns all over the screen. Can you advise. I've had the card for a couple of months. I've got the box and all the contents although I appear to have mislaid the original receipt.
To add, it's been 'iffy' from the first day, although I put this down to cooling. So I gave it extra cooling via a papst fan mounted on a zalman bracket and this helped temporarily. Although now, it boots every other time and I get a few minutes use before the picture dies completely or I get artifacts or corruption.
Thanks

Hi, sad to hear about your FX5900 dying out on you.
Where did you pruchase it? Was it online.?
Try to work with reputable merchants when sending stuff back is not a problem.
Also online merchants sometimes need no RMA just send it back.
Try to make the card look stock without any evidence of tampering.
Call the contact me number in the support area.

Please help with a cross tab

I have a cross tab that looks like the one below.
                    Year 08                  Year 09
Product x           10                        15
product y             5                         10
I want to insert a variance in a third column to show that product x had a 50% increase when comparing 09 to 08 etc... I cannot figure out how to do this in Crystal 11
thanks

The problem with the cross tab report in this context is that it has no idea that it will only ever contain two columns worth of data. It can't allow comparative operations based on the two data points you've identified... because what would it do if there were 3 columns? 4?
The way I get around this (usually) is to use grouping, and summary fields to create what appears to be a cross tab, but actually isn't. You can then just use your own formulas to do the calculations, and display it however you want. This actually introduces its own world of design hurt.
it is also possible to use the grid reference formulas to create a 'display text' that goes over the default 'total' field, but it's it a bit rubbish because the display text doesn't export...
The exceedinly complex way to pull it off is to use arrays.

Please help, which internal hard drive is best for a MacBook Pro mid 2010?

Hello,
My hard drive on my macbook pro is done for it's 3 years old and I am getting the beach ball constantly, with loads of page outs. I can't afford a SSD so other than that whats the fastest drive I can get? I am guessing a 1TB 7200? Can anyone recomend any? These are the ones I found so far, any thoughts/ advice would be really apreciated.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/MacBook-MB470LL-Laptop-Internal-7200rpm/dp/B00DF2GKO0/re f=sr_1_6?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1381746696&sr=1-6&keywords=MTXtec
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Seagate-inch-5400RPM-Drive/dp/B007NVGWV0/ref=dp_ return_2?ie=UTF8&n=340831031&s=computers
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC729ZM/A/1tb-sata-hard-disk-drive-kit-for-mac -pro - this is so much more expensive and doesn't give the spec. I would like to avoid that markup if poss, without having an inferior product.
Many thanks.

My personal experience is as follows. I initially installed 1 TB HGST 5400 rpm HDDs and then were replaced by 1 TB HGST 7200 rpm HDDs. Both performed satisfactorily.
Currently I have 1 TB Seagate SSHDs (Hybrid) in my MBPs and they have reduced the boot and shutdown times by over 50%. They are also satisfactory.
Note that there will be cheerleaders and detractors for all brands of HDDs. I merely report my empirical results.
Ciao.
Note that I also have a 2010 MBP as well as a 2011 MBP.

Changing cross-reference formats - what do my options mean?

Hi all, using TCS2 on Win 7 64 bit.
I have a question about changing a cross-reference format. I have one that is "<paratext>" right now - the " included. So my xref says (for example):
For more information, please see "Appendix 1".
I want to change this to that it doesn't show quotation marks anymore. I know the HOW of doing this, my question is once I have made the change, a dialogue box appears asking me which cross-references this change should apply to. My options are:
Internal Cross-References
References to All Open Documents
References to All Documents
I don't know which one I should chose. I am working in a book structure that has a bunch of FM files imported to form chapters. Each file file uses this old style xref so I need to update the xref format in each file (I think I need to do this one by one) and in some instances my xrefs are within the same doc, sometimes they are to other files within the FM book. So I think I need to pick 'References to All Documents' but it says there is no undo so I'm seeking advice first!
Many thanks in advance,
Adriana

Internal means only within the current document. All open, and all, are self-explanatory.
Your question shows that you're not sure what will happen when all instances of the cross-references that use the format are changed, either because you can't remember what you created in your own book, or because you're working on a book created by someone else, or that you collaborate on with others.
Don't let "no undo" scare you off. You can undo the result by saving all the files, before you do the changes. From within the book window, hold Shift while clicking the File menu - Save changes to Save All Files in Book. Or, from within any open file, hold Shift while clicking the File menu - Save changes to Save All Open Files. After you save the files, performing any non-undoable operation like changing the cross-reference format only makes the changes, but doesn't save the affected files. These actions are undoable by holding Shift while clicking the File menu again; from within a book window, Close becomes Close All Files in Book, and from with an open file, Close becomes Close all open files. When prompted to save, click Don't Save. Alternatively, from within each open and changed file, File > Revert prompts for confirmation, and if you choose to continue, the last-saved version of the file reopens.
If you want yet another safety layer, copy the whole file structure that will be affected to a safe location. If the set of assets is sprinkled all around the system, Bruce Foster's inexpensive FM plug-in "archive" will copy the whole collection into one place: http://home.comcast.net/~bruce.foster/products.htm.

Relinking Cross-References after Renaming Documents

I have a problem where I have created a book containing 14 chapters. Each chapter has a reference to the language of the book i.e. GB in the document title, we now want to translate the documents, so have copied the book, and chapters, renamed the document with an FR in the document titles, ready to send of to the translators.
The trouble is all the cross references are still linking to the GB book. Is there a way of re-linking all the cross references to the FR documents? Or is it a case of going to each cross-reference and re-linking to the same piece of text but in the FR book.
Can anyone help?

No help here, at least no help in providing some magic. Cross-file cross-references seem to depend on the name of the file that contains the cross-reference "destination" - the text that's captured and displayed at the "source" - the location where the cross-reference is inserted. I'm using quotation marks here because some folks think of the stuff you capture as the cross-reference source, and what's displayed at the cross-reference insertion point is the destination in their view. IOW, they're opposite uses of the term. InDesign's nomenclature is based on the hyperlink model, where you create a destination somewhere and you act on it by pointing to that destination from where you insert the link to it, AKA the source of the action. At least that's my guess.
So, changing file names loses the connection.
Internal cross-references - within a single document file - are maintained when the file's name is changed.
You can relink cross-file cross-references for files that are moved to a new folder. In the Cross-References panel, select a "missing" cross-reference that displays a question mark in a red circle, then from the panel's fly-out menu, choose Relink Cross-Reference, and browse the directory. If all the cross-file cross-references in the file whose cross-references point to files in one directory, relinking should restore all the links. If some cross-references point to files moved to other directories, you'll need to browse to each of those directories.
With a book, if all the missing cross-file cross-references for all the book's component files were all moved to the same folder, relinking one missing reference should relink all. If some missing cross-references point to files moved elsewhere, you'll need to browse for each of those directories.

Internal links (cross-references) do not direct to the correct location

I am creating a glossary in Word 2003 that I would like to convert into PDF. I stored each entry as a bookmark (header) in Word, and many links throughout the document redirect to these bookmarked articles.
When I convert to PDF (using Acrobat 8 Pro) the bookmarks and links come through, but now clicking a link brings you to the top of a page, rather than to a specific entry. The bookmark will bring you to the exact location, but the links are not as precise.
I bought Acrobat for the specific task of creating this glossary, so this is a very frustrating issue to discover.
Does anyone have ideas on how I can get linking to redirect to a specific line/word?

Hello,
No, we were never able to solve the issue. We decided to unlink the files
and use only Robohelp instead of FM-Robohelp.

Please please help me Can anyone help in Cross Docking Please

I did cross dock many time succussfully but i am trying now I am either getting following error
"No inbound documents have been selected for planning"
Please help me as I set up warehouse relevant, movmenttype relevent set up time reference for release, ref etc too
But I am getting error please please help me

Hello,
Cross docking is process where goods movement do not happen within warehouse house (No putaways & picking)
The process flow for the same is as follows;
Sales order creation>>Purchase requistion>>Purchase order>>>Inbound delivery creation(stock is inventory managed)>>Post goods reciept is done>>Outbound delivery creation (reference to sales order)>>stock is picked in delivery itself>>post goods issue.
Warehouse managment is not involved as there is creation of transfer orders in cross docking. So you need to cerate inbound delivery, do the put away directly in inbound delivery stock placement tab and do the post goods reciept. This will maintain the stock in inventory managed storage location.
Once PGR is done you can create outbound delivery with refernce to sales order and do the picking in picking tab in delivery and then post goods issue.

Since the MacBook Pro currently works, you should put it next to the iMac and compare the network settings for AirPort in System Preferences Network pane Advanced. Also, if you want to start off with the default network settings, you can use Location drop down menu and select +Edit Locations+. Then click the plus sign to create a new location. Set up that new location.
On System Preferences Network pane, AirPort should appear at the top of the list (in the sidebar). To change the service order, click on the gear icon and select +Set Service Order+.
Some additional tests you can try, on top of seeing if it works with (1) WEP security disabled and (2) a direct wired connection to the router.
If you get it to work with either (1) or (2), be sure to run Software Update at least two times to apply any recent updates from Apple. See if that makes any difference to using AirPort with WEP back on.
(3) Start up in Safe Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
I don't know if any third-party software has been installed on the iMac at this point, but Safe Mode will start up with only the essential Apple extensions and processes running. See if it works any better in Safe Mode.
(4) Create a new admin user account in System Preferences Accounts pane
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8235.html
Log out and log in to the new account. Try connecting with AirPort in the new account.
(5) Connect the MacBook Pro to the router with a wired Ethernet connection. Make sure its Internet access works. On System Preferences Sharing pane, set it up for +Internet Sharing+ so that it is set to +Share your connection from Ethernet - To computers using AirPort+. On the iMac, try to connect to that wireless network and access the Internet.
That last one (5) may be a good one to try first. It would at least show that the iMac's AirPort is working - you can even set it up to use WEP. If you have any questions about using the +Internal Sharing+ feature, please ask.

PLEASE HELP me select new internal hard drive for Macbook Pro 2012 (non-retina)

Good afternoon.
I just bought a Macbook Pro 2012 (non-retina) 15 inch from a friend. I think it is running Mountain Lion (has not been upgraded to Mavericks yet), and has iLife on it. It came with the stock 500 gb 5400 rpm internal hard drive. At home, I only have the Snow Leopard OS installation Cds and a copy of iLife 2011 installation Cds. I am going to buy 16 gb of RAM from Other World Computing to install.
I want to replace the hard drive with a 1 tb hard drive, preferably something that is $100 or less.
I talked to Other World Computing (OWC) and looked at the Data Doubler Option to replace the optical drive with a Solid State drive, but decided that for now I want to keep the optical drive inside the computer for portability issues.
I know that Solid State drives are better, but they are still too small, and I want the ease and portability of a 1 tb size INSIDE my computer.
Initially I was going to order this from Other World Computing: 1.0TB 2.5" HGST Travelstar 7K1000 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 9.5mm Notebook Drive 32MB Cache. *'New' Factory Replacement with 2+ Year HGST Warranty*    As of April 4, 2014 it's on sale for $79
But then I started reading some of the discussions online and thought maybe I should get a hybrid solid state drive?
I saw on Amazon the Seagate 1TB Solid State Hybrid Drive SATA 6Gbps 64MB Cache 2.5-Inch ST1000LM014 It's on sale for $94.
But according to some reviews, this Seagate has a platter that is only 5400rpm, unlike the previous Seagate Momentum that has a platter speed of 7200rpm.
How reliable are the Seagate, versus a Toshiba or Western Digital or Hitachi or something else?
Here are my questions about replacing the hard drive:
1. Is a hybrid solid state drive going to need some kind of special formatting after I put it into the macbook so that I can put the operating system on it?
2. Is a "normal" platter hard drive more reliable than a hybrid solid state drive?
3. Is there any additional driver or special software that I have to install for a hybrid solid state drive?
4. Currently there is no personal data stored on the computer. Can I just put the new hard drive in, and then insert the snow leopard install cd?
5. If I install snow leopard, can I just go to the App store and get the free upgrade to Mavericks?
6. If I want to do the "Data Doubler" option in the future and add a normal Solid State drive into my computer, will it have trouble interacting with the 1 tb hybrid solid state drive?
I would love to get some recommendations about the smartest option to upgrade my hard drive with something that will be fast (I edit lots of photos) and large (1 tb) that isn't going to cost too much. I don't know much about the different brands or options (and there are so many listed in tons of online reviews), that I got really overwhelmed and confused by the info out there.
I would really appreciate any help and advice. I've never switched out a hard drive before.
PLEASE HELP !!! Thanks!
Here is the "About this Mac" Info:
Macbook Pro 15-in Mid 2012
Model Identifier: MacBookPro9,1
Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Software: OS x 10.8.5
Storage (Hard drive): APPLE HDD ST500LM012 Media, Rotational, SATA, GPT (GUID Partition Table)

1. Is a hybrid solid state drive going to need some kind of special formatting after I put it into the macbook so that I can put the operating system on it?
The boot drive, regardless of what it is, needs to be formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). This is standard with OS X.
2. Is a "normal" platter hard drive more reliable than a hybrid solid state drive?
There are arguments pro and con. Bottom line, SSD's and hybrid drives are still quite expensive per GB than standard hard drives. If you have the bucks and are a speed demon, go ahead.   I have better use for my money.   Standard hard drives are mechanical and may wear out over time. But even though SSDs are not mechancial, they can still go bad and ultimately they even have a limit to their write capacity. The jury is still out on this debate.
3. Is there any additional driver or special software that I have to install for a hybrid solid state drive?
No
4. Currently there is no personal data stored on the computer. Can I just put the new hard drive in, and then insert the snow leopard install cd?
You can physically put the hard drive in but probably not install Snow Leopard on this MBP.
The mid-2012 MacBookPro9,1 models came with Lion 10.7.3 (11D2097) preinstalled.   It is very unlikely you would be able to install Snow Leopard on it. Historically you cannot install a version of OS X that is earlier than the version that came with your Mac (even if you replace the hard drive).
5. If I install snow leopard, can I just go to the App store and get the free upgrade to Mavericks?
Not via Snow Leopard on this MBP. See my response to #4.
6. If I want to do the "Data Doubler" option in the future and add a normal Solid State drive into my computer, will it have trouble interacting with the 1 tb hybrid solid state drive?
No. They are completely independent of each other; they are just independent storage units (drives) and their RAM does not interact.
