Possible to enter hyperlinks or other type of interfile links that function within PDF Package?

We deliver our product as a PDF Package. The only apparent benefit is slightly enhanced search function and file navigation and more 'professional' appearance. BUT the huge downside is the loss of hypertext links between files.
Our product comprises 90 modules all functioning seamlessly via a "Cartesian join": every module to every module. In this way, the collection of PDFs emulates a Help product when NOT packaged and when located in a single folder. User can navigate information (interfile) via hypertext links.
Once packaged the hypertext links do not work, and even worse (i think I recall) display as errors in the PDF, so hyperlink field codes must be removed versus left in the file latent, in order to create the Package.
We removed > 5000 hyperlinks in order to package the PDFs. Now I am unsure of the benefit. The loss of dynamic links between files greatly reduces usability as users must follow hard text references to other files, and must locate the target section manually by clicking bookmarks and searching on key words, in the PDF Package. Feels like the dark ages of print.
Can anyone suggest a workaround (any type of link functionality) that enables links that dynamically open target file, when user clicks linked text IN A PDF PACKAGE (where PDFs have been packaged using the Create Package function)?
We would like to restore that functionality to our PDF deliverable while still delivering as a Package.
Thanks in advance for any responses.

I read where PDF Package was introduced in Acrobat 8. I am using Acrobat Pro 9. I went from 7 directly to 9 so I've never seen Acrobat 8. It appears to me that PDF Package you refer to has been replaced with PDF Portfolio because I don't have the option when combining files to create a package. Are you using Acrobat version 8?
I create all of my links between PDFs using an Acrobat plug-in called Compose. It has an option that allows for relative links. I've never used Word to link between documents so I don't think I can be of help. I have used InDesign for that purpose and they work for me. I do not combine my PDFs into a "package" or a "portfolio" per se. They remain as separate files just like they were on the system I created them on. I burn them to a CD, folders and all, and use bookmarks and links to navigate between all of them.
I think we are doing two completely different things so I wouldn't be much help. Sorry.

  • Hyperlinks to other Documents (non-html)?

    Hello everybody,
    is Pages unable to hyperlink to other documents (e.g. other *.pages-files, hyperlinks like "./myfile.pages") or is that function hidden somewhere else than at the hyperlinks page in the Information window?
    Thanks for any recommendations.
    Andreas

    Hello Frank,
    Thanks for your suggestion, I tried this.
    In the .pages package there is a file index.xml.gz by double clicking it extracts an index.xml. In that file one can search and replace the hyperlink's text to e.g. ./myfile.pages. Afterwards I saved the file, deleted index.xml.gz, made a .zip package of my altered index.xml, renamed the extension to index.xml.gz.
    Now if I try to open that in Pages, the application crashes. So I don't think we can hack this that easy.
    By the way: Even if that had worked, I would never consider this as a usable 'workaround'. I am using Macs because of their great user interface and that's not the way I like doing things.

  • IDOC message type and message code and function?

    Hai...
      anyone can explain with example what is IDOC message type and message code and function? how it is used?
    regards,
    prabakaran

    Hi
    An IDoc type can be implemented for various "logical" messages; one message can also be assigned to different IDoc types (m:n relationship).
    The message is defined by the values for message type (required), message code (optional) and message function (optional). These three fields belong to the key fields in the partner profiles, which are used, for example, to determine inbound processing. If the 'Message type' field is not maintained (e.g. in the case of a control record from Release 2.1, in which MESTYP did not exist), the IDoc Interface uses the value from STDMES (EDI message type).
    If possible, the descriptions of the message type should be linked to the corresponding EDI message type.
    The message ORDERS (= message type) identifies purchase orders (outbound) and sales orders (inbound).
    Message code or Process Code for Inbound Processing
    Code which identifies a process type.
    The process type determines which process is used to convert an IDoc to an SAP document.
    Process code for outbound processing
    Code which identifies the type of data which is to be sent via the IDoc interface.
    Using the process code, the IDoc interface finds the application selection module which converts the SAP document into an IDoc.
    The process code is only used with applications which perform outbound processing via Message Control (NAST).
    Thanks & Regards

    A MacBook will use Time Machine to make local backups so that when connected to an external drive it will backup a lot faster.
    to disable this, you must use a command under terminal.
    to locate terminal, do a search for it under spotlight (the magnifying glass on the top right corner), should be the first hit.
    once under terminal, type the following text exactly:
    sudo tmutil disablelocal
    hit enter.
    you will be asked to input your password, if you do not have a password, you will have to create one before performing this command. after entering your password, hit enter again and close terminal.
    in a few minutes the space taken up by time machine should be cleared.

    2 ) Go to Transaction code = OMJJ , Tick Movement type and select 101 Movement type .

    Jerry,
    Thanks for replying again. I've got a little bit further thanks to you. I tried the US keyboard layout as you seemed pretty definte that it should work. This time I applied the setting and also started the language toolbar and selected it from there.
    Hey presto, I've got the @ where it should be. Excellent.
    However the single quote ' works in a weird way. When I press it, it doesn't show up on the screen. But when I press another key, I get the single quote plus the next key I press. When I press the single quote twice, I get 2 of them. This is also the same with the SHIFT ' key. i.e. for the double quotes.
    Very strange. I'll look at other keyboards and see where that gets me.
    Thanks,  Maz

  • Is it possible to enter the lock screen with itunes or something else because i've damaged my phone and the touch screen is damaged that i'm not able to unlock it to make a backup on itunes

    You cant unlock your phone unless you put in your password. It may be possible that the apple store could do something about it.

  • Is it possible to enter events into a specific iCal calendar, then print a list of those events with the name and date on a single sheet?

    Is it possible to enter events into a specific iCal calendar, then print a list of those events with the name and date on a single sheet?  I don't need the calendar grid.  I just want a list of events on a particular calendar, and their dates.  Is that possible? 

    Not easily. Two possibilities:
    1) If all the events have some common feature (eg you have included "XXX" in all the summaries), search for that feature then select and copy the found items at the bottom of the window. You can then paste them into TextEdit or a spreadsheet for printing
    2) You could write an Applescript to locate the events and write them into a text file for printing.
    The first one will probably give you what you want.

  • Is it possible to enter a serial number in the main sequence, instead of in the "Pre UUT"?

    Hello!
    Is it possible to enter a serial number in the main sequence, instead of in the "Pre UUT"?
    I still want the serial number in the Report.
    I also want the serial number as file name of the report.

    You can enter the serial number in the main sequence instead ot the "Pre UUT" but there is no reason to do that.
    if you still like to input serial number in your sequence You will need to make sure that you update the variable in the process model which stores the serial number ie. RunState.Caller.Locals.UUT.SerialNumber
    This is used to generate the report.
    the report can also contain the serial number of the uut if you select "New file for Each UUT" under Configure-Report options and in the "Report File name path"
    The format of the name of the report will be
    [123].txt
    "123" was the serial number which I entered.
    If you are not happy about the name of the file you can replace Locals.ReportFilePath to contain the right name using a statement step in the process mode
    l. If you using the default process model please make sure that you add the statement step after "Determine Report File Path" step in the Process Model.

  • Error saying "Enter the sender activity type also"

    While trying to upload the HR details from NON SAP to SAP through SE38, an error reflects asking to enter the sender activity type.
    Can any body help me.

    Hi,
    Please refer to the online documentation help whose link is listed below :
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/c3/c6c2a40f4f11d2956400a0c930669b/content.htm
    This link mentions four different data entry scenarios that can be configured for data entry profile in CATS.
    if you want to have the activity transfered to HR, you have to activate this Controlling object for pers. cost assignment in your
    customizing:
    - Personnel Time Management
      - Time Data Recording and Administration
        - Integrating Time Management with Other R/3 Applications
          - Recording Personnel Costs
            - Enter Controlling objs permitted for pers. cost assignment
    here you can find in the documentation:
    'In this step, you specify which Cost Allocation or Funds Management  objects the personnel costs can be assigned to.
      and, in addition, for account assignment to activity type:
      COBL-LSTAR Activity type
       In cac1 'cost accounting variant' is set to 'Assignment of personnel costs to master cost center'. In this case, the cost center is not transferred to HR. Activity allocation is done directly from cats through the other (non-hr) components. Check for 'activity allocation' in the online documentation.
    the cost assignment variant 'B' (Assignment of personal costs to sender) needs a receiving accounting object.
    If there is no receiving object the cost assignment variant changes to '0'.

  • None of the commnets or other type of annotations on this page are contained in the structure tree, getting this error on full check of adobe acrobat PDF

    none of the commnets or other type of annotations on this page are contained in the structure tree, getting this error on full check of adobe acrobat PDF

    You can find and tag the unmarked annotations using the Tags pane - click the down arrow next to
    the Options icon (near the top left of the pane), then Find > Unmarked Annotations. You will be given the option to tag the annotations - usually they are hyperlinks in which case use the link tag. Then you will need to create the proper tag stucture. Lots of information about that via google, for example the Adobe Acrobat X Professional: PDF Accessibility (Section 508 Tagging) Reference Guide (http://webtools.ca.gov/files/2010/07/acrobat_X_tagging-manual.docx)

  • Build a blank/other type of page which can show links to other pages

    Can someone please tell me how to build a blank/other type of page which can show links to other pages? I mainly want a page to show 3 links, once someone clicks on it, then it will go to a specified page. I tried using URL, but that did not work. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your help in advance.
    -Grace

    Do a region (probably a HTML-based one is fine), enter in the HTML for your links, and that should be it. What didn't work about this?
    Your links probably should appear like this in your coding (use substitution variables):
    f?p=&APP_ID.:3:&APP_SESSION.
    In the above example, "&APP_ID." will resolve dynamically to the application ID that you are in, "3" is page 3 (change this to whatever page you want the link to be), and "&APP_SESSION." is the existing session number (if you don't include this, the user will receive a new session ID if the destination page is public or will be intercepted annoyingly to log in and get a new session ID which you probably don't want).
    Do not include the full http path. Just start with f?p... and everything is assumed to be relative to Apex on the current environment.
    Those are effectively the minimum requirements for a URL in Apex to go from one page to another in an app. You can add to that the additional URL parameters for Request value, Set items with values, clear cache, reset pagination, etc. if you need to. Check the Apex online help under "understanding URL syntax" for details on these.

  • BI Integrated Planning: Not possible to enter „new rows“ in Webtemplate

    Hello Experts,
    we are trying to use the BI integrated planning, in particular we want to use the manual planning functionality with „new rows“, that means we want to create new rows for combinations of characteristics for which no data has been entered / loaded yet.
    To test this functionality, we´ve built a very simple example consting of
    -     a real time info cube with 4 characteristics, 1 key figure and one time characteristic
    -     an aggregation level which contains the 4+1 characteristics
    -     an input-ready query
    -     a web-template with an analysis grid, sth. to select the characteristics, eg. drop-down-boxes or a navigation pane and a button to save the entered data
    But now it is not possible for us to create new rows to enter data. The error message that is displayed in the top of the screen reads „No new row / column inserted, since not all characteristics have a lead column“.
    The strange (?) thing is, that if we use the navigation pane, it is possible to draw the time characteristic as the only element to the „rows“ – and then we can enter the time characteristic, but not the key figure !
    We´ve succeeded in entering data for „new rows“ using BexAnalyzer, but we really need this functionality within a web template.
    Btw, I think we´ve done the necessary adjustements for the web template (e.g. for the analysis grid „number of new rows“ and so on)
    According to our SAP Basis Administration, the OSS-Note No 984601 has already been installed.
    What do we have to do if we want to enter data in new rows ? We would already be happy with a simple example / how to to know what we have do to do to build a very simple web application !
    Many thanks for any help !
    Frank

    Okay, it has been solved (answered by SAP-Support) ! It´s so easy: the only thing you have to do is to display only keys, no text, in the query !
