Possible to create a link in PDF?

I am new the Acrobat SDK. I have been asked to develop a tool that searches for a specific string in a PDF document and then creates a UNC link from it to a shared document on the network.
This is currently done manually using the Adobe Acrobat product. However we'd like to automate this process as it needs to be repeated for severl documents. Reading the SDK docs, it was not immediately clear to me if it supports editing the document by creating links.
Does anybody know if this is possible and can you point me towards any documentation on this topic?
Thanks.

HI Bernd,
The video above does not show me how to link to a video have it start playing.
I know it is also possible in indesign to have a button link to a specific point in a video, but I haven't been able to find out how to do that from a text link.
so for example. the text could say "watch our video, or click here to learn about subject two".
where - "learn about subject two" takes the user to a specific part of the video, and makes it start to play.

Creating polygonal links in PDF

Is it possible to create polygonal links in PDF? Might be useful, e. g. for interactive geographical maps.
In the PDF spec, I have read about the /QuadPoints key in Link annotations. However, I didn't understand the documentation here, does it serve this very purpose? Or does it create a number of quadrilateral, not necessarily rectangular (8 vertex coordinates would allow this) interactive regions that may or not overlap?

Does this mean that you could create a link annotaion region that appears as a rotated rectangle for example? Say I wanted a hyperlink region to cover a URL that is part of a raster image within the PDF. The URL appears at a 30 deg rotation on the page. Is this something that can be done in Acrobat Pro? It seems that the link tool in Acrobat Pro can only create 0 degree link regions.

Is it possible to create a link on the content of a text annotation??

Is it possible to create a link on the content of a annotation??? Like the content of an annotation is some notes as well as a link...
content -
this is my first annotation(notes)
http://www.google.co.in/(link)
is it possible to create a link for the url given in the content of an annotation??? On click on the url...it should get opened...
please reply its really urgent....

How/where do you want to accomplish it?
Within the document? Using Acrobat? Using another application?
Using Acrobat within the document would be possible using Acrobat JavaScript. You can access the annotation objects of your document, and you then can evaluate the properties of each of these objects. Have a closer look at the Annotation Object section in the Acrobat JavaScript documentation.
You will look for the contents property, and evaluate its content. When you have found something looking like a URL, you can create a link (using the rect property of the annotation), and you have what you want; you might then think to destroy the annotation, as it may overlay the link.
Hope this can help.

Is it possible to create a link that I can place on a website to an internet radio stream on iTunes?

Is it possible to create a link that I can place on a website to an internet radio stream on iTunes?

Yes, but it WON'T play through the browser. It'll require any visitor who clicks it to have iTunes installed, and it'll open iTunes as soon as they do.

Is it possible to create and save a .PDF without any compression to the resulting .PDF?

I need an uncompressed file so I can use the resulting PDF to do a find/replace. Can't do it with compression.
Thanks

Dave,
Thanks for the reply. Of all the suggestions I've received this seemed to
be most promising. I gave it a try and the problem is that when I attempt
to save as optimized a message box pops up and says I have to save my
document first. Low and behold when I save it, compression occurs. Even
when I select the options you suggest I'm left with a compressed document.
I'm using Acrobat Pro X

You don't want the UncompressPDF plugin - that's designed to split out the
COS objects but doesn't remove the Flate encoding (plus if you've never
compiled a plugin before, it's not really the time to learn).
Instead, simply save your PDF file using the PDF (Optimized) file type,
click the Settings button and under "Clean Up" - "Object compression
options", choose "Remove compression". Turn everything else off if you
want to retain the PDF content exactly as it was before.
Your document-level scripts will then be in the file as plain text.

No, you would need to use your web design program to do that.

Is there a way to re-size to a smaller portion when creating clickable links on pdf?

Hello everyone,
I am not sure if I will be clear on what I need, but I'll try my best.
I am currently doing a prayer book for my mom's website and need to add clickable links in the menu (so it will be more easy for the readers to simply click to go to the prayer they want to see). However, some of the prayers don't take a whole full page and I would like to know if it is possible to re-size to a smaller zone in the page so they can only see the prayer and not the other one following it?
I have tried to resize the red square in the left side of the pdf but it doesn't change anything as it goes only diagonally and not vertically, which results in still seeing the other prayer that comes after the one I want to link to.
Can someone assist me on this? It will be much appreciated.

When you create the link choose the radio button for "Go to a Page View".
Then, when you see the dialog for Create Go To View, leave this dialog open and go to the page you want to link to and zoom into the area you want to magnify.
Once you have the magnification you're looking for, click on the Set Link button.

Is it possible to create view link on programatic VOs

I tried creating a view link between 2 programatic VOs but did not get a clean way to get the where clause.
It appears that the where clause has to be dependent on the EOs which does not exist in this case.
On creating the view link,i need the following where clause:
VO1.col1 = VO2.col1 ( i.e. :Bind_col1 = VO2.col2)
Is this possible ? The query getting built here is showing up as null bind variable i.e. :Bind_col1 is null
Please suggest how to get over this issue.

ICWC: Is it possible to create a link in a message in the error line

Hi,
after saving a service order in the IC WebClient the success message (including the object id) is shown in the persistent header area of the ICWC - in the error single line.
Is there a possibility to have a link in this area? I want to create a link onto the object id to directly get into this order again.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Ben

Hi,
thanks for your response. Just for the understanding, in my case there are no error messages displayed in the error line. The only visible message is the success note "service ticket XYZ is saved successfully". After saving the ticket correctly we have to navigate to a different view. Changing this is not possible.
So the new client requirement is to create a link at the "XYZ" (object id) in this error (success) message. But I think there is no possiblity to get a navigational link or a usual html-link at that place.
Maybe you got some more ideas?
Thanks and best regards,
Ben

Is it possible to create popups in a PDF file ?

I need to know if and how I could create pop-ups in a PDF file.
The idea is to be able to offer the data behind a chart as text, which then could be copied & pasted into programms like Excel.
With regards,
Jacques

I'm not sure if it would achieve your goal but there are two possible suggestions I have.
The first is that you could put the data in an appendix and then just use normal navigation tools to get to it. This allows the reader to see it if they want but it doesnt get in their way otherwise.
The second is to host the data somewhere and incorporate a link to the webpage into your pdf-that would be a real popup.

Does Keynote allow you to create clickable links in pdf files yet?

I searched the forum and found a similar question that was asked back in 2005, and with newer versions of Keynote now available I hope I'm not posting a duplicate question here.
I would like to be able to use iWork's Keynote to make small, business-type cards for downloads as .pdf files and I'd like to include a clickable website url or email link, if possible.
How about doing this in Pages? I haven't used pages yet but I presume you can save the files as pdf's?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
An afterthough - if I need Acrobat to do this is there a large learning curve involved?
I see many 'Viral eBooks' and brochures being created for and by PC users, and when I download them the links are clickable on the Mac. You see lots of programs for PC's being advertised that are supposed enable you to to this, but none for the Mac. I'm hesitant to invest in Acrobat as I only want to do one or two business card type pdfs with clickable links.

Hi Annie,
I ran a quick test and Keynote exported a slide with both a clickable link to an email address and a website. After printing to PDF (command-P/Save as PDF), there were no clickable links.
As far as I know, you need at least Mac OS X 10.4.4 for this to work, and of course Keynote 3.

Is it possible to create a link from a picture's metadata to a test file?

Hi everyone,
I am looking for a way to get a direct link to the picture's deposited right of utilisation. I prefer a link in the picture's meta data to a text file - e.g. pdf or doc. Is that possible?
PC with Lightroom5.
Thanks a lot for help!

To build on Ian's suggestion, you can include URLs to files on the computer, e.g.
An easy way to construct such a URL is to go to your browser, give the Open File command (in Chrome, it's File > Open File), and then browse to the desired file. The browser will open the file, and you can copy the URL from its address bar.
If you don't like using the IPTC:Website field for this purpose, or if you want more than one field in which to store URLs, I think the Custom Metadata plugin would provide that capability. The author is very helpful and a frequent contributor here.
Finally, you might consider my Any File plugin. It lets you directly import files of any type into your catalog. For example, you could import the release PDFs for an image and stack the release and the image together.

Is it possible to create a link to a pop-up window from an image map in dreamweaver?

I'm trying to use an image map as my home page. As it is a simple site I want the links on the image map to open in a small 200 x 200 pixel pop-up window.
I seem to only be able to have it open in a new tab.
Thanks for any help!

That site uses Cyber Studio javascript actions. Cyba Studio was discontinued years ago.
If you're code savy enough you can extract the javascipt from the site and the csactions and rebuild to your own requirements. It's not that difficult but you do need to know your way around the code environment in Dreamweaver.
Give us another site link and I'll take a look to see if there is anything more up-to-date code handing these pop_ups.

How to create link for pdf file in discoverer worksheet

Hi All,
I would like to create a link for pdf file into discoverer report (worksheet).
So that i can open linked pdf file using worksheet link.
Can any one tell me about this?
Thanks
Ravi

Hi,
I think the best way to do this is to use a database directory so that you can access your pdf file as a bfile. Then create a mod_plsql procedure that sets the mime type and downloads the pdf file. You then create a calculation in the EUL then returns the URL to your mod_plsql procedure. You can then include this calculation as a hyperlink in your worksheet.
It is not as difficult as it sounds. Please let me know if you need anymore details.
