Preview seems having problem with relative link with PDF documents

Hello,
I have a PDF file which I've added relative hyperlinks to it (to an html file). I did it with Adobe Acrobat 7.0 (for Windows). I have a link which is a custom action: Open a web link. The link is defined as "../presentation/referencesechelon8.html". I need relative link because the entire web site can be deployed on a DVD instead of on a Web server.
On Windows with Firefox or IE everything is working flawlessly. On the Mac side, it's working with Safari since it's using Adobe Reader to read the PDF. However, with other browsers using Mac built-in PDF viewer, Preview 3, it is not working at all. In the pdf document Preview 3 is unable to reconstruct the original url from the relative link. Instead it points to http://../presentation/referencesechelon8.html which is not correct.
Does anyone have an idea? I've googled a lot and did not find anything. My next try will be to use a Javascript to reconstruct the url.
Thank you in advance!

Issue with web links in PDF document using adobe reader 10.1.1

Hi,
We are creating the PDF documents that contains website links. The problem that is occurring is whenever we click on the website links in the pdf file, it opens up IE browser but just show connecting message without actually showing the link and its content. This is ocuurring when we open the PDF using adobe reader 10.1.1 . However it seems to be working fine with Adobe reader 9 . Moreover the length of the URL is bit large and seems like links work fine when we have 253 characters in the URL and if they are more than that then it is not working.Since it is working fine in Adobe reader 9 is there any constraint imposed on the length of URL with adobe reader 10.1.1 . Anything regarding this will be of great help.

Hi..
Try removing a plugin...
Quit Safari.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin (or just PDF Browser plugin) from the Internet Plug-Ins folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari to test.

I get a a message "javascript: void (0)" when I turn on online radio. This problem is related also with other browsers. I reinstalled java but nothing changed

This problem is related also with chrome, opera and explorer. I reinstalled java but nothing changed

To avoid confusion:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/JavaScript_is_not_Java
Note the javascript: void(0); is often use as a placeholder URL to indicate that an onclick event is tied to the link to do the actual action.<br />
If JavaScript is blocked for some reason then this javascript: void(0); links comes into view.
Make sure that you do not block JavaScript.

Also make sure that your security software isn't blocking JavaScript if it happens in other browsers as well.
You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Creating Bookmarks with Relative Links

Can anyone suggest a plugin, or post examples of code to create a bookmark in Acrobat programmatically. And have the bookmark work with RELATIVE links. Meaning if you have a bookmark for page 15, and you insert 5 pages at the begining of the document, that bookmark would move to page 20. When you create the bookmark with a javascript "go to page", script... when you insert the pages, your bookmark would still point to page 15, the wrong page.
Any suggestions, hints, web sites to look at, all appreciated. Thanks.

"Is that what you meant?"
Yes. You can download the VBA example or I can state it as VBScript.
"Sendkey" may be a problem but you can add some error-traping.
The same you can archieve with "Menuitemexecute", but you have only one problem more.
You have to check the registry (if it is free for use) and finaly you have to send the key {enter} to close the action.
As I said I work with mbtPdfasm for setting bookmarks in a batch. It's much more simple and I can give it to co-worker.
The other acobat based method without using JS or writing a plugin is to use pdfmark.
You have to produce a ps-file with the commands to set up the bookmarks, then you have to send it to the Distiller.
After writing that PDF with bookmarks and necessary blank pages you can replace that with the real pages.
That sounds not only cumbersome. It is - but it works.
So for me mbtPdfAsm is the solution for reading/writing simple bookmarks.

My Apple TV seems to be losing its "link" with my computer.

My Apple TV seems to be losing its "link" with my computer. I'm running Windows7. The iPad, iPhone, & iPod have no trouble pushing content to the Apple TV but the iTunes library of music and movies does not want to connect or load. Has anyone had any incompatibilitites with Windows 7 or problems of this kind?

I'm having problems uploading video taken with my iPhone 4 to Photobucket. FB will not accept the file extension which is ex. IMG_423. They will play on my computer and will upload to Facebook. Why is the phone taking video with this file instead of so

I'm having problems uploading video taken with my iPhone 4 to Photobucket. FB will not accept the file extension which is ex. IMG_423. They will play on my computer and will upload to Facebook. Why is the phone taking video with this file instead of something like .mov or mp4. How can I change the extension after the fact and avoid it in the future?

You said, "the 4 also has signal and wifi whereas the 5 has only wifi". By "signal", I'm assuing that you mean cellular signal. If so, that means your iPhone 4 is still active on your cellular number and your iPhone 5 is not. Contact your carrier to sort out which phone is active on your account.

I am having problems syncing my ipad2 with my outlook 2010. Any suggestions

I am having problems syncing my ipad2 with my outlook 2010. I went to ATT& T store and they recommended airplane mode when syncing. It did not sync Outlook to my ipad 2. Any suggestions?

You haven't purchased apps with multiple Apple ID's have you? If you have, you can only sync with one Apple ID in the iTunes library at a time. Whichever ID you are signed into on the computer and the iPad would determine which apps would sync.
Have all of your apps been transferred into iTunes for your iPad?

iTunes thinks you have a new computer because you restored the OS. Open iTunes and authorize it to the same account you have on the iPhone. Did you restore your iTunes content from a backup after resetting your computer? Have you been syncing regularly with the computer, and does the iTunes library on the computer contain your apps, music and videos? If so just sync and your content will be removed then restored.
If you have not hopefully you have now learned something. You can recover apps and purchased songs by connecting the phone, without syncing, and choose "Transfer purchases..." from the File menu.

Hello I am having problems viewing areas of a pdf...it's a form fillable pdf that someone else has completed and saved..I'm able to view all but the areas that have been filled in.. any info would help

Hi Bob, I just tried your suggestion, but the interactive PDF is in spreads by default, no way to change the setting. When I choose to view by single page in Acrobat, it displays a single spread.
When I choose to view by spreads, it displays 4 pages, two spreads. That's the topic of this whole discussion, I believe. I do own CS 6 at home, however my employer supplied me with CS 5.5. And I have very little, if any, influence on purchasing.
So, I have no good way to make an interactive PDF (with differing recto/verso headers and footers), that is accessible and shows the correct header/footer. It's either single pages (with one header/footer), or recto/verso headers/footers but PDF only as a spread, as well as I can tell.
Unless you know something else I can do...
Best, Marilyn

Linking a PDF document to URL in Smart forms

Hi All,
Please anyone let me know how i can link a PDF document to a link in the smart form output.
I'm outputting Purchase order details on a smartform and I'm supposed to give an URL link for the user to click on it for Terms and Conditions.
Please note that I'm not using interactive forms in web dynpros nor developing with BSP.
I simply developed a smart form in SRM system and I'm able to display an URL but don't know how to link a PDF to that link.
Please some one let me know your ideas how i can attach a PDF to an URL in smart form.
Thanks in Advance,
Sowjanya

Hi,
Follow the below blog and it is very useful achiving your requirement.
in the blog:
in the below point,
Code to send the email
Following code will transform the html content into displayable format and send email to all the recipients. Note: This form also handles the images (static) defined in the smartform, as well as the images defined with html IMG tag (eg: URL link to image on the network).
you have to convert your pDF output into displayable format. then add that link to your smartform.
Thanks,
Sree.

How do you link a pdf. document within a Keynote slide?

How do you link a pdf. document within a Keynote slide?

Gary, I'm trying to save a Keynote presentation that was created from a Powerpoint presenation using PDF files.
It imported beautifully, problem is it won't play. Keeps giving me a "Keynote cannot play your slideshow because an error occured" message.
I thought it was a Powerpoint/Keynote incompatibility thing, so I recreated the presentation - 1 pdf per slide just like you have here (I did this before finding your post) and it still wouldn't play. I even tried JPG - nothing; just horrible looking images.
Is there something I'm missing?

Tab region's with relative links?

At the moment our tabs are being generated with absolute URL's and this is no good since the link uses our internal domain name that is inaccessable to the internet. Is there anyway to make them relative links?
We have 2 domain names, portal keeps prefixing URL's with the internal one. This is very annoying since we want some users to access the site via the internal domain name and others to use the external one (via reverse proxy). We have been able to work around this for everything except tabs, the only solution I can think of is to use some wacky javascript that modifies the generated hrefs, but I really don't want to do that. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. We are using portal 9.0.4.1.

Thanks for that, but it's of no use to us. For instance:
http://externaldomain.com/pls/portal/url/page/PAGE_GROUP/OUR_PAGE?p_id=4
Will be redirected by portal to this:
http://internaldomain.com:7777/portal/page?_pageid=53,679823&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL&p_id=4
So external users can not access the page like this.
I've had to add some javascript to the UI template for portal pages that use tabs as a work around. If anyone can come up with a better solution, please let me know. Here is my work around in case you're interested...
<script>
function correctURLs(){
     var arrURL = window.document.URL.toString().split("/p");
     var thisDomain = arrURL[0];
     var falseDomain = "http://internaldomain.com:7777";
     if (thisDomain == "http://externaldomain.com") {
          for (var i = 0; i < document.getElementsByTagName("A").length; i++ ) {
               document.getElementsByTagName("A").item(i).href = document.getElementsByTagName("A").item(i).href.replace(falseDomain,thisDomain);
</script>
<body onload="correctURLs()">

Problem with creating links with WPC (SP 14)

Hi,
I have a problem creating links with the WPC (SP14): When I want to create internal links (Browse and select the target item) via the right button (choosing a website as a reference link). If I do so I encounter the problems either that the linked site (outside the WPC) shows a blue background and/ or has no navigation frame (on the left side & no breadcrumb-navigation on top).
If I create links with the left button in the WPC via URLs I have the problem with the inserted URL, because sometimes (I don't know why und when) some parts of the code in the URL changes, so that the linked Website is empty (besides the navigation fram - the content isn't displayed anymore). To me it looks like as if the originally website cannot be "found" anymore.
Does anyone has the same problems and is eventually able to help me? This would be really great. Thanks!

Hi,
you have also to deploy the following file from Service Marketplace:
Patch for SP14 for KMC WEB PAGE COMPOSER 7.00
Than it will works. The best way is you deploy WPC SP 15.
If you want i can send you this file via email.
regards,
Sharam
