Preserving hyperlink properties from Word documents

I am using Live Cycle to convert MS Word 2007 created docs that have been pdf'ed into Acrobat forms. Within these Word files are hyperlinks that have the properties of opening a new browser window when clicked. I have set this to be the default for all hyperlinks within the document. When I save the .docx file as a .pdf file, the links behave as desired. When I create fill -in fields (text and date fields) with Live Cycle and launch the resulting modified .pdf with Acrobat, the links behave as I want. HOWEVER, when I create a link to the acrobat file/form itself in a web page, and it launches into a browser window (with IE6 it doesn't invoke the Acrobat application to launch separately, but within the browser), now, the links in the .pdf/LiveCycle file DO NOT pop a new window, but just replace the open browser window.
This is an issue with IE because if the user has halfway filled in the form, and comes to a link and clicks it, they "leave" the form window and their inputs will disappear when they click the back browser button to return to the form.
How can I preserve the "open new window in IE" for the hyperlinks as explained above?
Thanks, Jay

How to copy paste a table structure from word document into Text Field [field format Rich Text]

In our current implementation we have a Blank page with Text Field [field format Rich Text] on generated PDF Document.
Once the PDF document is generated, user can copy paste content form any word/rtf document to into the Text Field.
Pasted content retains all text formatting [Bold, Italic, Underline, Indentation] except the Table format. Text Field is removing table metadata from the content and converting it into plant text.
Is there anyway to copy paste table structure as it is from word document into Text Field?

Hi,
I don't think you can! While you can paste formatted text into the rich text field, the table metadata means nothing to the textfield.

Creating Post Script File from Word Document

Hi How to create a Ps File from Word document.. Is there any api to do this ?
~Arjun

(1) It is
PostScript, not
Post Script or
Ps!
(2) To create PostScript from a Microsoft Word document, you simply open such a document in Microsoft Word and print to a PostScript printer driver instance, but chose the
Print to file option. Note that since PostScript from drivers is device-dependent, you do need to choose a PostScript printer driver instance very carefully based on a PPD that has few device dependencies.

Importing Testcases from Word Document

I want to import testcase form Word Document document to MTM tool. Are there any tools available for acheving this?
The testcases table to import is not getting recognosed when I tried with "Test Case Migrator Plus".
Able to import if the testcases are stored in excel. However, the entry stroke in a same cell is getting created as new test step. i.e New test steps is getting added in MTM tool if test step is written with a line break in excel.
Any help on this would be great.

Hello.
Glad to receive your reply.
Based on this link: http://tcmimport.codeplex.com/,
test Case Migrator Plus tool allows test related artifacts, present in Excel and MHT/Word formats, to be imported into Team Foundation Server.
I think that it support importing test cases from Word format into TFS. Then you can run those test cases in MTM.
As I mentioned in my previous reply,
Except Test Case Migrator Plus, and I don’t find any other tools which support this kind of import.
If you get issues when you use “Test Case Migrator Plus” to import test case from Word Document to TFS, you can start a discussion onhttp://tcmimport.codeplex.com/discussions
for better response.

Importing Tables from Word Documents

I have a new job where the majority of my colleagues are PC users and we must work on common documents. I have no problem saving documents as a word file and opening word documents. But I have had some issues with Tables coming from a word document. I looked on the forum and learned about inline tables but I have been unable to take a table from a .doc file and change it to an inline table. Basically when the page ends, the table stops, even when there is more text. It is making it really frustrating for work as I have been copying and pasting the text from the table into a new document to edit it and then replacing the new text with the old. Can anyone help me figure out how to see the text in tables from word documents??
Thanks,
Amber

It would be more efficient to use the true Office or one of the free clones: openOffice & neoOffice.

Read equations from word document programatically

hi
its too difficult to problem i think but soluation is there.
i want to read equations from word document using java. i was tried in xml prser also ,there i can 't find the equation format.
any body tell me how to extract equation from word .

Everyone that has posted that you have 2 problems is absolutly correct, you will have to use some 3rd party product to read the file, or make your own MS-Word decoder--a task for which MS itself has problems doing reliably between versions. You could set up some DDE or OLE via Java/C and Excel... have fun it that is your choosen path, you'll want to talk to them in the JNI forum on how to get started there.
As far as parsing, you have to be able to identify the formula, is it an Excel formula? If so, then you have to be able to copy the formula, it does not show as text in cells. If it is not a formula, but just text in a cell, then copy it into a String in Java.
Now you have the String, use String.split or other tokenizer to break the String appart, and then you have to process the tokens. Nobody here is going to write the front end of an interpreter for you to process your sting into appropriat logic and tokens.
The task you embark on is not one of triviality, but can be done. The real question is: "Is it really worth it to you?" Only you can answer that. If you need refernce material for parsing--look up discussions of language, compiler, and interpreter development--most of the ones I've run across have excellent discussions on parsing and tokenizing.

Editing files that have been converted from Word documents

Will I be able to save and edit the PDF files I convert from Word documents?

Hi,
Yes it is possible to edit the PDF files and save the changes. You need to use Adobe Acrobat for this.

Hyperlink in MS Word document to Oracle Portal 9.0.4 form does not work

Hi,
In a MS Word document a link to a Oracle Portal 9.0.4 form is written this way:
http://myserver/pls/portal/PORTAL.wwa_app_module.link?p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=47602092358
When clicking on the link, and at the same time holding the Ctrl-button, an error is displayed
Error: An unexpected error occurred: ORA-01403: no data found (WWV-16016)
and the URL is changed to
http://myserver/pls/portal/PORTAL.wwa_app_module.show?p_sessionid=248080&p_header=true
But if the hyperlink is copy/pasted from the Word document to the addressline of any browser, the form is opened without problems.
Any proposals how to write hyperlink in MS Word to Portal forms will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Arne

Creating pdf files from word document and allow copying of content

I generate word documents and then save them in PDF format before sending out to clients. Sometimes these documents contain quite a lot of data in table format and I want my clients to be able to copy the data from the tables and be able to paste it into excel. How do I save as PDF and still allow copying of content?
Thanks

Open such a PDF in Adobe Reader: File | Properties | tab Security. It will tell you if copying is allowed or not.
I don't know if you can change these security options from Word; you'll have to ask Microsoft. To change them after the PDF was created, you will need Acrobat.

Carrying hyperlinks over from Word

Hi, I've just installed Acrobat 9 and tried to create a pdf from my Word documents and it seems to have not carried over internal (ToC) and external hyperlinks. I know I used to be able to do this. I've looked at help files with no joy - any ideas?

Thanks, Sandeep and to Bernd for the helpful link sent though. I confess it's all my fault! Because Acrobat was installed across the network I hadn't thought to restart my machine. D'Oh!
Everything working well now. Thanks

Losing hyperlinks when linking word documents

We use RoboHelp version 9.0
Project description
We have a Parent project with 7 child projects. Each child project has, on an average, 40 files.
The files in each child project are linked to word documents. Every time we have updates to content, we update the word file and click Update in RH project.
All the child projects are merged in the parent project via TOC.
On completion of updates in the individual projects, we generate the individual projects and then generate the parent project for final output.
Our project structure is like this, where each circle represents a folder.
The issue
The issue we face is about See also links.
Each word file in almost all projects has “See also” topics without links in the word document. However, we hyperlink them with .htm files (within the child project and between child projects) in RH.
Because the links are set in RH and the content updates are made in linked word files, whenever we modify the word files and update them in RH, the links are lost. We need to manually go to each file in RH and re-hyperlink them. Although we select the “Preserve modifications to this file” before we save in RH, the links are still lost.
In addition to losing the hyperlinks, a duplicate file gets created for each file in backend. We have to manually delete each file.
My questions
Are we doing something incorrect in this process? Losing links and file duplication - is this because of incorrect folder structure? Is there a way we can prevent it? We tried linking See also topics in word files itself, but since the hyperlinks have an absolute path and not relative path, we lose the links if the project is placed in another computer.
The total count of files in the complete project is around 500. We tried having a single project rather than merged projects. But we are not sure if we can multi-author a single project. We use SVN as a source control tool and apparently RH does not support it.
3. Is linking the word files the best practice? My organization insists on maintaining word documents.

According to this, Rh is compatible with SVN.

Unable to create PDF from Word document.

I was trying to create a PDF file from a Word document but got the following error message: "An unexpected error occurred. PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF" and no PDF was created. There was no error number. Has anyone seen this error and is there a work around. This is Acrobat XI Pro and was installed within the last few days.

Can you print to the Adobe PDF printer? Have you updated AA XI (now at 11.0.05)? What version of WORD (AA XI does not work with PDF Maker on all versions of WORD)?

Saving as PDF, from Word documents - not good quality?

Why is it that when i create letterheads, adn i save as pdf this word document, it comes out such poor quality?
Is there a setting to save with high quality output from acrobat, word to pdf or also how about print pdf?
Is anyone able to help us out?
Thankyou,

You are on the Illustrator forum how does this relte to illustrator?
Are you ceating artwork in Illustrator and then inserting it into Word?
This is what I suggest Visit the Acrobat Forum or a Microsoft Word forum if there is one and ask there.
Or you can purchase ID or Illustrator and use them to create your letterhead.
