PowerPoint hyperlinks preserved

I am using PowerPoint 2010 and need to convert presentations or shows to PDF using Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.4 while maintaining functional hyperlinks created inside PowerPoint. My issue is when these hyperlinks are saved to PDF and moved to another location the hyperlinks in Pro ver 10 will not function. I downloaded the trial version of Pro XI and this worked. I have to use version 10.1.4 as a government employee and cannot install or use XI. Is there a way to preserve and allow saved hyperlinks created in PP to function properly in Pro ver 10?

When I use the action setting and go to link the other ppt file it prompts me to link to a certain side. I would like to link to the entire presentation. So ...
Hi,
When you are in the Hyperlink to Slide diablog, you can just select the
first slide in the presentation file that you want to link to.
In Slide Show view, click the object and the "other presentation" opens, displaying the slide you selected. You can continue to show the entire presentation if you want, then back to your original presentation at the end. Or you can stop and
return to your original location by pressing Esc to close the other presentation.

Making a pdf from powerpoint: hyperlink translation: how to?

Can anyone tell me if you can create a hyperlink in powerpoint to point to a file outside the document or to another slide and when you create a PDF out of the document, will adobe acrobat professional translate and preserve the hyperlink in the resultant PDF?
I feel funny asking a simple question like this...

"will adobe acrobat professional translate and preserve the hyperlink in the resultant PDF?"
No. You must re-create the link in Acrobat.

Powerpoint hyperlink screentips

In either powerpoint 2004 or 2008 does anyone know how to turn off screentips as automatically appear when you roll-over hyperlinks linked to external files? (I know they won't appear when linked to another slide within the same document, but that's not the point: I NEED to open other files from within [and external to] a powerpoint file).
Also, when trying to open a linked file, powerpoint opens a window asking if you are sure you want to open the file (virus etc) - which looks pretty stupid in the middle of a presentation.
Aaaarrrrghhh. Why should we all suffer like this - is the world mad (or am I just stupid [I don't think so])?
Is keynote any better or am I just deluding myself?

PowerPoint Hyperlink to swf file

I'm calling a 384x320 swf file from Powerpoint. When the
hyperlink is clicked, it opens up the swf file, but it opens it up
in a maximized window. Is there any code I can add to the address
that will allow the window to be opened up to the proper size? I
could possibly do this calling up a browser, but I want to keep it
simple.

I did find one workaround that seems to work. I created an
AutoIt exe file that opens up the exe version of the swf file, and
then restores the window from its maximized state. It won't run the
swf file though.

Screen resolution switches while using Powerpoint & hyperlinks

Hi.
I'm using Office 2011 on a Macbook Air. I use PPT to teach and my classrooms have integrated projectors (VGA connection). My PPT runs and displays well. However, I often put hyperlinks in my slides so I can quickly access webpages. When I click on a link from PPT, the PPT slide fades (as it should) and the browser opens, but the screen resolution falls to 800x600 and the web pages are displayed much too big. Any reason why clicking on an hyperlink in PPT switched my screen resolution? And any trick to avoid this?

DvlFig,
Are you referring to the screen sizing of the actual Remote Desktop Window? If so,
this page offers this solution to saving your screen settings for future Remote Desktop sessions.
How do I change Remote Desktop Connection settings?
You can change different settings for your remote connection, including the size of the remote PC's desktop, the audio, and the connection speed.
Open Remote Desktop Connection by swiping in from the right edge of the screen, tapping
Search (or if you're using a mouse, pointing to the upper-right corner of the screen, moving the mouse pointer down, and then clicking
Search), entering mstsc in the search box, and then tapping or clicking
mstsc.
Enter the name of the PC you want to connect to.
Before connecting, tap or click Show Options, and then make the changes you want on the
Display, Local Resources, Programs,
Experience, and Advanced tabs.
If you want to save these settings for future connections, tap or click the
General tab, and then tap or click Save.
Tap or click Connect.
Hope this helps!

Operate C# to modify PPT's hyperlink, while configuring the hyperlink's text to display attribute, the address value will be assigned as null. Anyone know this issue? Any solution?

operate C# to modify PPT's hyperlink, while configuring the hyperlink's text to display attribute, the address value will be assigned as null. Anyone know this issue? Any solution?
How to reproduce the issue：
1.Create a new PPT slide in Office2010.
2. Insert a certain text/characters, such as Mircosoft blablabla,
3. Insert an URL right after the text part , TextToDisplay is the “Test”，Address is the "Url".
4. The content in the ppt is ”Microsoft Test“，here "Test" is the hyperlink which we would like to convert. Please execute the code we list below.
5. The problem will be reproduced by the above steps.
PPT.Application ap = new PPT.Application();
PPT.Presentation pre = null;
pre = ap.Presentations.Open(mFileName, Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoFalse, Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoFalse, Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoFalse);
foreach (PPT.Slide mSlide in pre.Slides)
PPT.Hyperlinks links = mSlide.Hyperlinks;
for (int i = 1; i <= links.Count; i++)
PPT.Hyperlink mLink = links[i];
mLink.TextToDisplay = mLink.TextToDisplay.Replace(mLink.TextToDisplay,"url");
mLink.Address = mLink.Address.Replace(mLink.Address, "url");
Modify texttodisplay, the address vaule will be assigned as null. Anyone knows how to solve it?
Does it caused by a PPT API's Limitation?

I've tried the below code and it works, you can refer this article:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff745021.aspx
to find that the hyperlink needs to be associated with a text range, and thats what I did in the code below with the help of the link sent by Tony.
Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Application ap = new Application();
Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Presentation pre = null;
pre = ap.Presentations.Open(@"C:\Users\Fouad\Desktop\abcc.pptx", Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoFalse, Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoFalse, Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoFalse);
foreach (Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Slide mSlide in pre.Slides)
Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Hyperlinks links = mSlide.Hyperlinks;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Shape textShape = mSlide.Shapes[1];
for (int i = 1; i <= links.Count; i++)
Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Hyperlink mLink = links[i];
Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.TextRange range1 = textShape.TextFrame.TextRange;
TextRange oTxtRng = range1.Find(((Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Hyperlink)mLink).TextToDisplay,After:range1.Start,WholeWords:Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoTrue);
oTxtRng.Replace(((Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Hyperlink)mLink).TextToDisplay, "url");
oTxtRng.ActionSettings[Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.PpMouseActivation.ppMouseClick].Hyperlink.Address = "http://www.microsoft.com";

Embedded objects when converting a word document

Hello ng,
a word document contains other documents as embedded objects shown as a symbol. When converting this document with Acrobat Standard or Professional the symbols are converted as non functional picture. So the embeddes document can't be opened.
So here's my question: Is it possible to convert embedded objects shown as symbol to functional embedded object within PDF?
Example is shown below.
Many thanks!
Susanne

It cannot be done. For all intents remember that creating the pdf is akin to printing the document out. If you were to print document to your printer, you would not expect to be able to click on the paper to launch the object. Now it is true that one can have things like hyperlinks preserved, but specialized coding was created for this functionality and is not available in all applications nor on all platforms. However, your wish is a reasonable feature request. I suggest you might ask here:

Tab focus in Presenter 8 content

Is it possible to have links and actions on slides, and be 508 compliant with keyboard accessiblity? In Captivate all interactive elements are tab accessible, but there does not appear to be a way to access a Powerpoint Hyperlink or Action via the keyboard.
Is this suppose to work and does not, or is this not supported?

Presenter 7 is 508 compliant (if just) as is documented here: http://www.adobe.com/accessibility/products/compliance/presenter_7_508.html
Not sure if anything changed with Presenter 8, but no documentation has been posted.

Preserving PDF hyperlinks

Haven't found the answer for this -- how do I preserve hyperlinks in a PDF when I import it into InDesign and then create my .folio file for DPS?
I work for a magazine and many of our files come in as PDFs, and sometimes they have myriad URLs in them that are not hyperlinks. I'd rather convert URLs in those PDFs to hyperlinks in Acrobat (using a script and/or the "Create Links from URLs" command) than tediously convert them to hyperlinks in InDesign by drawing boxes on top of each individual URL in the PDF, or adding buttons, etc.
It doesn't seem logical to me that DPS would completely ignore hyperlinks in a placed PDF in InDesign, but recognize them in a PDF generated by InDesign.
Any/all help appreciated -- thank you....

Howdy Bob!
Any news on Adobe development in this direction? It would facilitate my life 103%...

CS3 - How can I preserve Links and Hyperlinks in my INDB?

I am still pretty new to ID, so please speak slowly :)
My problem - I create an INDB that consists of several indd chapters. The chapters include numerous Links (to PNG & PSD images) and Hyperlinks both to Text anchors to other chapters within the INDB, as well as to URLs. I have all items saved on my local HD. Once complete, I do "Package for Print", check the Preflight report to make sure all is OK (it is) and then save the new INDB folder in a new location on my local HD. This all seems to work just fine, BUT if I move this packaged INDB folder (such as to a backup drive, or give to another worker that copies it to their HD), upon opening the INDB file, some links and Hyperlinks are broken.
It seems that these broken Links and Hyperlinks are still pointing to the original locations on my HD. But obviously not all are, since most links/hyperlinks DO work fine. The Hyperlinks to Text anchors within other indd chapters seem to typically break. Is there a way to force these to reference the packaged assets within the INDB folder? Seems ID would be smart enough to look there itself!
Also, I was creating some Hyperlinks as "cross referenced" - that is, I created a URL Hyperlink Destination in Chapter 1 indd and then created Hyperlinks pointing to it from other chapter indd in the book. I have learned that these ALWAYS break in the above scenario, so I started creating the URL destination within the same chapter indd and pointing to it there rather than across chapters. But this is just more work to keep re-creating the same URL destination in every indd!
I'll keep running into these problems since I need to share my finished INDB with other CS3 users. I also would like to be able to do a Save As of the INDB when creating a revised, newer version, but I see this also results in the new INDB links/hyperlinks still pointing to the original INDB's assets! Any way to make the Save As update the Links/Hyperlinks in the new INDB?
Thanks greatly for any insight. I can find no help in the Help on these issues!

The title of the post is this
How can I preserve row and column addresses on multiple cells at once in Numbers?
I restated the Question as follows
Can "Preserve Row" an / or "Preserve Column" be set on multiple cells at the same time.
In both cases it is not asked if multiple cells can be set to....
That is a given.
Step back a second... It is like selecting multiple cells and setting the text color of the currently selected cells to red. This can be done. More than one cell at a time modified because they are currently selected.
Whats is being asked is: if more than one cell is selected at the same time can the settings "Preserve Row" an / or "Preserve Column" be applied. No table I put up will help with that question.
YES or NO
If YES how?

Hyperlinks with "#" don't work in PDF from PowerPoint

I'm creating a PDF from a PowerPoint 2010 file and hyperlinks with a "#" in them aren't working. The "#" character is being removed from the link. For example a link to http://mysite.com/home.htm#anchor becomes http://mysite.com/home/htmanchor. I have Creative Cloud and installed Acrobat Pro XI today. I used the Create PDF button on the Acrobat ribbon.
Does anyone have a solution?

Ahhh, the slippery slope of perception.
Yes, "#" has a specific use when with HTML .
And "#" has a specific use when with MS Office applications.
And "#" has a specific use with PDF using Acrobat / Adobe Reader.
The specifics of each?
For HTML see what W3C and the related RFCs speak to.
For MS Office see what Microsoft's dev space & Office info speaks to.
For Acrobat / Reader see "Parameters for Opening PDF Files".
http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_open_parameters_v9 .pdf
In each environment "#" means something different, does something different.
In each environment, when used correctly, "#" performs as designed.
The point is the "design" is In Fact different in the different environments.
So the "SOF" -- Nothing is broken.
Be well...

Preserving hyperlinks in pdf conversion

I am using Acrobat Pro 9 to convert a MS PowerPoint document to a pdf.
The PowerPoint doc has 45 hyperlinks to a web page with anchors to go to particular positions on the page (e.g. #place at the end of the hyperlink)
When I convert to pdf, the anchor part is dropped from the hyperlink.
I can edit the pdf to add the link information back but this is very time consuming.
I am using XP Pro SP2 and PowerPoint 2007.
Adobe's online support has been less than helpful in helping me to resolve this problem. 12 replies to date with little or no useful information.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

I am using the Acrobat PDFMaker Add-in from the PowerPoint toolbar.
Typically this is what happens:
Links in PowerPoint are typically like this - http://www.apuc-scot.ac.uk/team.htm#mcaithness
When I convert to pdf using the PDFMaker the link is - http://www.apuc-scot.ac.uk/team.htm
The anchor part #mcaithness is dropped.

Printing from Word 2008 to PDF does not preserve hyperlinks

Hi,
I have discovered that when I print a Word 2008 (ver. 12.2.4) document to PDF format using Mac OS X version 10.6.2, some of the hyperlinks are lost.
Links where the hyperlink address is visible in the document are preserved, while all others are lost. Interestingly, the PDF shows the text with the hyperlink as if it still has a hyperlink, but the link does not function. I have posted an illustration:
- original Word document (zipped): http://people.trentu.ca/~rloney/files/hyperlinktestword-to-PDF.zip
- converted PDF document: http://people.trentu.ca/~rloney/files/hyperlinktestword-to-PDF.pdf
I've tested this with both .doc and .docx formats and there is no effect, nor does it matter whether I print as PDF using Mac OS X, or convert the Word file to PDF using Adobe Acrobat ver. 9.3. I have run the same test with Apple's TextEdit and all links are preserved, so this appears to be specific to Word on the Mac.
Has anyone had any experience with this? Any work around?
I will try to find a place I can report this to Microsoft as a bug.
Thank you,
Rob

Put in the clipboard, from an VB program, an image with a tooltip and a hyperlink to paste them into a Word or PowerPoint doc.

I tried to put
in the clipboard an image with an associated tooltip
and a hyperlink to paste them into a Word or PowerPoint doc.
I tried to do it with the usual Clipboard's methods SetData and GetData. It's easy to paste an image, text, rich text, html, but it does not appear to be able to associate metadata or hyperlink to an image.
Usally the tooltip
and the hyperlink are in the metadata
associated with the object.
I think it can be done with the CliboardData class and its Data and Metadata properties, working with the different items of the List of Objects, but I don't know how to tackle it.
Any suggestions?
Thank You

Does word or powerpoint associate a tooltip and hyperlink to an image and then allow that image with those associations to be copied to another open word or powerpoint document? If not then your probably wasting your time.
This code can "listen" for items copied to the clipboard. Needs a RichTextBox on a Form.

My Adobe XI software no longer converts Word to PDF files with hyperlinks or page layout preserved.

Is anyone else having the same problem where the initial installation worked fine and over time, you are no longer able to adjust the setting in the 'convert to PDF' menu for Word documents? I am now faced with Word documents that lose their hyperlinks on conversion and when there are changes in page orientation (e.g., portrait to landscape and back again), the software creates sub files for each kind of page layout. In a word, the software has become useless. What can I do to fix this?

In order to preserve links on Mac Word to PDF. You need to do as follows (note this only preserves links created by Word's auto Correct. Not by Word's URL Creator.)
Method #1
Create Document save as .docx as backup.
Go to File Menu > Print
Click and hold the PDF button, a Context menu appears.
Choose Adobe Quality PDF, or Adobe PDF (depends upon Version of Mac OS X)
First Choose quality (similar to Job Options in Distiller) and whether to open using Acrobat Or Reader.
Next a Title will appear. (in format "microsoft.nameoffle.docx.pdf").
You can leave file name as is or remove the Microsoft and the .docx from the Name
Save File.
This method also will print pdf, even if it has section and Page breaks except when there is orientation change from Portrait, or landscape.
Method #2
Do step 1 above.
Locate the file Created.
Drag the file either on top the actual Application or its Icon in the Dock.
Wait ......
When Acrobat opens Immediately save.
Again all links created with Auto-correct will be live.
And pages will be intact in the PDF except when there is a Change in orientation.
Auto correct will create links/URL's when you type such the will automatically turn blue and become underlined. And clicking on the in the word Document will go to the link.
What does not work until Adobe fixes a 10-15 year old bug is where you select word then go to Insert menu> URL. A window opens and you choose the link or email, in the URL Creator.
Also the Bug where changes in section, and pages breaks cause new PDF that have to be put together has not been completely cured. (Still splits when orientation changes.) Has been proved by Microsoft to be a Bug Adobe can't or won't fix. You simply take a Mac Word File open it in the PC version and create a PDF. And works perfect.
