Problem while opening a link of a PDF that points to a specific page to another PDF

PDF links whose URIs include backslashes are interpreted by Acrobat Reader browser plug-in as local file-system links even when they are not. This means that a link that points to a specific page number will open the file but not automatically jump to the desired page . In our browser-based viewing tool, this means that the links are perceived as not working.
for example : from IE Browser When we tried to open the link in PDF 1 which has the URL of the 5th section of PDF2 and the URL includes the backslashes then the Specific section of PDF2 is not getting opened . The link just opens the PDF2 first page. This Specific problem does not arrives if we try to open the link through Adobe Reader or if the URL mentioned in the PDF is formed using forwordslashes instead of backslashes.

You have not.

How to add link to specific page in another PDF

I'd like to create a link within a PDF to a specific page in a different PDF. As far as I can tell, the Create Link tool will only allow me to open another PDF on page 1. I know you can link to another page in the current PDF, but I need to link to a separate PDF. I have also found info on mechanisms for opening to different pages, but these are for opening using browsers or code.
So, is it possible to link create a link in a PDF to a specific page in another PDF?
Thanks for any suggestions.
- John
PS - I'm using Adobe 7.0 Professional.

Try this...
You can link to a specific page in a specific PDF from a bookmark. You navigate to the new view (page of a PDF) when creating the bookmark.
When you want to do that with a link (as in selected text in the body of the PDF) you have to do it in two steps. Use any file open to create the link, then edit the properties of the link, select the Action tab, and change the action to Go To A Page View.
That's how it works in Acrobat 8, but I'm betting it's the same in 7.

Problem while opening suggested links

I Can't open the links which are suggested to me when I start typing in the address bar.. I can't even open a link by pasting the URL in the address bar and clicking Enter.. the only way of opening links is now by clicking a bookmark or by writing a URL an then clicking the arrow at the end of the address bar.. What is the problem?? I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling firefox.. I have tried several versions including 3,3.5,3.5.5,3.6 and then finally this 4.. but none of them worked!! please help!

Hi FSHW,
would it be possible for you to post the code and the application you want to open? Would be great to have a look at it.

Open PDF in a specific page from another PDF

Acrobat vs8 - XP - Windows
While in one PDF file, create a link to open another PDF file in the same folder - to a specific page number.

Use the Link tool in Adobe Acrobat.

Linking to a page in another pdf

Using ID, is it possible to create a pdf that will have a link to a specific page in another pdf?

Indeed it is
Select your text and open the hyperlink panel (Window>Interactive>Hyperlinks)
In the Hyperlink Window in the panel insert the location of the PDF on the internet (copying the url is usually the best way)
For example:
http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/indesign/pdfs/creating-accessible-pdf-d ocumentw-with-adobe-indesign-cs6-v3.pdf
If you suffix the link with
#page=3
It will open on that page!
http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/indesign/pdfs/creating-accessible-pdf-d ocumentw-with-adobe-indesign-cs6-v3.pdf#page=3
Happy InDesigning!

Problem while opening Excel through OLE

Hi Friends
I am facing a problem while opening an excel file through OLE. it is working fine in SAP ECC 5.0, but the problem is in ECC 6.0.
I am adjusting the cells for auto fit. I have written the code like below.
CALL METHOD OF e_appl 'CELLS' = e_cell.
CALL METHOD OF e_cell 'EntireColumn' = ole_columns .
CALL METHOD OF ole_columns 'AutoFit'.
set property of e_appl 'VISIBLE' = 1.
if I take out the adjustment part it is working fine for this program, rest other programs even if I have this code, they working fine.
When I am executing the statement set property of e_appl 'VISIBLE' = 1. the return code is coming as 2.
Could anybody please help me to overcome this problem.
Thanks
Praveen

In ECC 6.0, if the worksheet is portedcted SAP unable to open that sheet, now we have taken out this option so it is working.

Link to a specific page in a PDF - from word

Hey guys
Possibly a stupid question, however Im not too familiar with acrobat and creating pdfs etc, I have searched and tried whatever answers i've found though.
What Im needing to do (well, its another user, but they've asked me to fix it for them) is create a link in a word document that will open a pdf at a particular page. This word document will then be exported to PDF and the linking needs to still work. The files will be on the local filesystem (not a web server) and need to open in acrobat reader, not an IE window.
I can get it to work fine if you manually edit the link in Acrobat professional and tell it to go to a page in another PDF, but when I try adding the link in word it just opens the PDF at page 1.
What I've tried doing:
Create a hyperlink in word to c:\test.pdf#page=50
Create a hyperlink in word to c:\test.pdf#chapter6 (with chapter6 being a destination in the PDF document)
as above but with file:///c:/test.pdf#page50 and file:///c:/test.pdf#chapter6
All of these open the PDF but at page 1, not page 50. When i view the link properties in acrobat it shows the action as being "Open a file: c:\test.pdf" but nothing about opening to a specific page.
The user does not want to edit the resulting pdf in acrobat once it has been created, due to needing to frequently update the word document and re-export to pdf.
Systems are running WinXP, Office 03, and have tried with Acrobat 6 and 8 (would prefer it to work with version 6, as 8 is just the trial and would prefer not to have to upgrade to get this to work).
Any help would be much appreciated!

I have a similar problem I would like to solve. I am also running Word 2003, Windows XP and Acrobat Professional 7.0.
I can create a hyperlink in a word document to open a separate PDF file.
I can then use PDF Maker to convert the word document to PDF.
No problem.
When I click on the new link in the PDF document it opens the separate file in the same window and the original PDF file is closed.
I do not want the original file to close.
When I set up a new link from within Acrobat then I get the option to "Open in new window". This link works the way that I want.
As there are multiple hyperlinks in the word document, I will need to recreate new links everytime I modify the Word document. This is very time consuming
Question - how do I get the automatically created link to open in a new window?
Thanks in advance

When I start mozilla or open any link in a new window I get the desired page to load but an additional new tab page opens up along with it, fix?

When I start mozilla or open any link in a new window I get the desired page to load but an additional new tab page opens up along with it. I've tried switching my homepage to different things (new tab, firefox home, show blank page) but I always get an additional new tab to open. How do I get only a single page to open?

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
'''For Firefox versions previous to 29.0:'''
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]] button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
'''For Firefox 29.0 and above:'''
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

InDesign Link to specific page in a .pdf file

I have an article index that I keep in InDesign. Each item in the index points to a specific page in a separate .pdf file. Is there a way, in InDesign, to create a link that will open the .pdf file to a specific page? The InDesign file contains buttons and is exported to an interactive .pdf file. For example, I may have an article from volume one, page two. In the interactive index, I would like the user to be able to click on this link and open newsletter volume one and jump to page two. I have never found a way to do this in InDesign and currently have to create the text portion of the index in InDesign, export it to an interactive .pdf file and then create all of the links directly in Acrobat Professional. This is very time consuming because whenever I need to update the index, I need to re-export to a new interactive .pdf file and recreate ALL of the links in Acrobat. There should be a way to do this in InDesign.

There SHOULD be a way, yes. But there is none. It's not about Indesign, it's the PDF and handling of action like "Open file".
I tried button actions like "Open file" in Indesign, but you only select the file name and path, nothing else.
If you do the same in Acrobat, by putting an action "Open file" for a hyperlink, it will be the same.
The only thing that works is to use an URL like http://www.yourdomain.com/yourfile.pdf#page=3, where #page=3 can do what you want. You could even place that URL in Indesign or Acrobat, but the PDF would a) open in a browser and b) the PDF reader will always pop up that requester before opening internet links and c) the file would have to be on the internet.
Perhaps Acrobat Javascript could do more here, but then you'd have to embed it somehow in Acrobat (I wouldn't know if Indesign can do that) and Javascript would have to be allowed for that PDF. Not a good choice.

Opening a specific page in a pdf

Hi,
I am working on a cross platform project. I can open a specific page in a pdf in windows with the following script using buddy but am so far unable to get this to work on the mac.
on mouseUp me
global gMoviePathName
cursor 0
theApp = baShortFileName(baFindApp("pdf"))
thePath = baShortFileName(gMoviePathName &"resource\myfolder\myfile.pdf")
theAppString = theApp & " /A page=1 " & thePath
theResult = baRunProgram(theAppString, "Normal", FALSE)
end
But even leaving out the attempt to locate the individual page I can't get this code to work.
on mouseUp me
global gMoviePathName
cursor 0
theApp = baShortFileName(baFindApp(".pdf"))
member("text1").text = theApp
thePath = baShortFileName(gMoviePathName &"resource:myFolder:myFile.pdf")
member("text2").text = thePath
theAppString = theApp & thePath
member("text3").text = theAppString
theResult = baRunProgram(theAppString "Normal", FALSE)
member("text4").text = theResult
end
The trace fields seem to return the pathnames ok but the final path returns 0 [error]
Can anyone help?

One problem that I see is that the executable file should not have a colon after it:
MyDisc:Applications:Preview.app: myDisc:myFolder1:myFolder2:myFolder3:myFolder4:myFile.jpg
should be
MyDisc:Applications:Preview.app myDisc:myFolder1:myFolder2:myFolder3:myFolder4:myFile.jpg
And another is that it looks like you have missed some punctuation in the baRunProgram command (possibly a copying error)
theResult = baRunProgram(theAppString "Normal", FALSE
should be
theResult = baRunProgram(theAppString, "Normal", FALSE)
One last item is that the Preview.app program probably does not accept the same command line switches as acrobat reader, therefore you are unlikely to make it open to the page you want. You would probably need to make sure that the Mac has acrobat reader on it, and use it to open the file.

Opening a specific page of a PDF through web browser not working with IE5.5

Hi,
I need an urgent help to reslove the problem below.
Using Netscape 4.7, When I am trying to open a specific page of
a PDF file through the web browser using the command below.
web.show_document('http://oraweb/abc.pdf#page=3','_self');
This opens the page 3 and then when I give subsequent calls to
this command with different page nunbers, it opens the related
pages correctly.
But when using IE 5.5, the page gets displayed correctly for
only the firt time. Any calls to the command does not change the
page at all.
Could anybody help me to resolve this problem ASAP?
Thanks
Preji

Hello,
I think this is a problem of IE5.5 with PDF-Files.
You can find more information at acrobat web site
(perhaps there is a patch)
There is a setting in the reader where you can say that
the reader should start in the web-browser. Turn it off -
when IE starts downloading a pdf-file you can choose
acrobat reader for the first time.

Hyperlink from within a Word Document to a specific page within a PDF document.

I was hoping that someone would be able to assist me. I would like to create a hyperlink (used as a citation) on my Word document that opens directly to a specified page within a PDF document (possible other word docs and so on, but less
often). How do I go about performing this? Another note, all the documents would reside within a SharePoint site.

I am not a Word guru, but I don't think you can run a macro from a hyperlink. But you can create an active X label that runs a macro when clicked. You can use the following macro to go to a specific page in a PDF file.
Sub OpenPDFPageView(DisplayPage As Integer)
'In order to use the macro you must enable the Acrobat library from VBA editor:
'Go to Tools -> References -> Adobe Acrobat xx.0 Type Library, where xx depends
'on your Acrobat Professional version (i.e. 9.0 or 10.0) you have installed to your PC.
Dim PDFApp As AcroApp
Dim PDFDoc As AcroAVDoc
Dim PDFPageView As AcroAvPageView
Dim PDFPath As String
Dim DisplayPage As Integer
PDFPath = "C:\Users\doudou\documents\test1.pdf"
'Set the page you want to be displayed
'DisplayPage = 3
'Initialize Acrobat by creating App object
Set PDFApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
'Set AVDoc object
Set PDFDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
'Open the PDF
If PDFDoc.Open(PDFPath, "") = True Then
PDFDoc.BringToFront
'Maximize the document
Call PDFDoc.Maximize(True)
Set PDFPageView = PDFDoc.GetAVPageView()
'Go to the desired page
'The first page is 0
Call PDFPageView.GoTo(DisplayPage - 1)
'Set the page view of the pdf
Call PDFPageView.ZoomTo(2, 50)
End If
Set PDFApp = Nothing
Set PDFDoc = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
'Show the adobe application
PDFApp.Show
'Set the focus to adobe acrobat pro
AppActivate "Adobe Acrobat Pro"
End Sub
