Problem with Hyperlinks - Creating Interactive PDF from an In-design Book

Im working on producing a Interactive PDF from an In-design Book which consists of 9 Indesign Documents.
The problem I am having is with Navigation when I export the pdf
When I export out to 'Interactive' pdf the hyperlinks DONT link to other documents
When I export out to 'print' pdf the hyperlinks DO link to other documents but the buttons to 'Go to next page' no longer work
Cheers,
Jamie

Thanks for the reply. I got the IT to upgrade to 5.5 and it now works. Rather an annoying bug for CS5 though

Problems with the "Create a PDF" tab

I have a customer who is trying to create a pdf from Word using the "create a pdf" tab. The PDF is created but only the colored boxes behind his text show up. He is running Win7, Word 2010 and Acrobat Pro XI (with the latest update). The same thing happens if he uses the "print to pdf" option. The Word "Save as pdf" works fine.
Word Document (image below)
PDF (image below)

It appears to be some sort of incorrect layering issue. You can fix the problem by selecting the Edit Text & Images command in Acrobat XI and right clicking on the boxes and selecting the Arrange command.
I've seen this issue occur with older .doc files opened in newer versions of Word. One thing you might try is to save out the word file to another format like RTF (make a backup first) and then resave a .docx before creating the PDF.

Problems with transparency in interactive PDFs

Hi, I am creating a 40pp document in InDesign CS6. The document is created as CMYK and will be issued as a printed piece but also there is an interactive version. For revision control purposes, I have created one document for both purposes, and have created the interactivity (internal navigation as well as hyperlinks to external URLs). The interactive buttons are on a separate layer so that layer can be suppressed when output for press.
The printed piece exports just fine using Pass4Press settings.
However, when I export as an interactive PDF, I find that each page seems to render differently, despite being based on the same master page items.
I have tried everything – changing the transparency blend space from RGB to CMYK (and vice versa).
This is causing me a real headache as my client won't accept this and I have tried pretty much everything. There is very little to adjust in the interactive PDF settings.
The document has a photographic strip along the top of each page (master item). On top of this are coloured blocks with text in them with the name of each section. The blocks are set to "colour" mode, (except when that is the current section, when they become "normal"). This is all done on the master, yet each page renders differently despite it being the same master with no page over-rides on the items in question.
I tried exporting back to .IDML and using the export functions of CS4 and CS5.5. This solved the transparency issue, but caused a whole range of other problems such as text reflow, shifting images and incorrectly assigned button actions/bookmarks, so the problem would seem to be the CS6 interactive PDF transparency handling. Using an earlier version of InDesign clearly isn't a solution.
Can anyone help please?!!

Hi, and thanks for your help. That would be a bit of a faff, as I have set the whole doc up for export as a Pass4Press compliant document for professional print. However, the client also wants a navigable PDF created from the same doc. Because of the length of the document, I don't want to have two source docs, as that would be a revision control nightmare.
However, I've been playing around with the master pages, as it is items from the masters that are being rendered inconsistently. It seems odd that one master can be rendered differently on various non-overridden pages.
Guess what? I just tried disassociating the items from the masters (Override All Master Page Items) and tried again. Now, although I now have lost the benefit of using master pages, it does actually render properly and consistently now! Go figure. Must be one of those freaky little bugs. It would be cool if this could be fixed, but at least overriding masters seems to be a workaround.
Hopefully, my document is approved, and I can export the final Press PDF, save the doc, Override All Master Page Items, export the interactive PDF and not save with the disassociated masters…
Thanks for all advice and hopefully this will help someone else, or trigger one of the devs to look into this odd bug.

Problem with Hyperlinks Created in Adobe Professional

Has anyone experienced weird behavior from hyperlinks created with Adobe Professional when trying to open in Safari browser? Our graphic designer has been creating our newsletter using Adobe Professional and hyperlinks are created to link our advertisers to their websites. But, when someone is using the Safari browser, the response is that the page is missing. This doesn't happen when the same link is clicked on using IE, Google Chrome or Firefox.

In order for a modified form to be saved with any recent version of Adobe Reader, the document has to Reader-enabled, which is done in Acrobat 9 by selecting "Advanced > Extend Feature in Adobe Reader". So if the forms worked with Reader 9, they must have had the rights applied through this process or by LiveCycle Reader Extensions. It would be interesting to see a form that is fillable/saveable with Reader 9 that doesn't work with Reader 10.

Creating Interactive PDFs from InDesign

I have been researching using PDF to display database drive data merged into a PDF online. I have investigated http://www.asppdf.com/ and http://www.aspose.com/categories/.net-components/aspose.pdf.kit-for-.net/default.aspx that provide solutions for using PDF to create dynamically merged data into a PDF. Is it possible to use InDesign to create a PDF that would allow the ability to replace say a empty checkbox with a checked checkbox based on a database sotred value for that exact checkbox?
Thanks!

The problem has been solved and here was my solution:
TO PLACE AN IMAGE
The process to add an image is to give instructions to the end user to copy and paste the image to their clipboard using a word processor or other image software and then select Tools/Comment & Markup/Stamps/Paste Clipboard Image as Stamp Tool. Next, click and drag on the PDF where the image should go. The image can be resized and moved around easily.
IMAGES NOT PRINTING
The solution for this was found on a different thread:
In our case, we noticed that Standard 9 was saving documents so that when the print option was select the default option selected for Comments and Forms was, "Documents and Markups."
Simply changing this setting to "Documents," as with all previous version of Adobe resolved our printing printing problems.
Hope this is helpful for all of banging your head against the wall like we were.

Thanks, everyone!

Problem with quick printing multiple .pdfs from Outlook 2010

Hi there,
I have a user who is having problems printing multiple .pdf's using the quick print function in Outlook. I have tried reader 9,10 and 11.
11 errors when printing (nothing specific in the error message) and only 1 or 2 documents are printed.
9 and 10 error and report that a file is missing. Yet again, often prints 1 or two of the files.
I have reproduced the problem on my own PC.
Is there some type of bug with Adobe Acrobat printing multiple files using the quick print function within Outlook?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Will

I am not very skilled in Adobe by any means, but I was having the same issue. When I did the Control P to print, I went into Print Options, then into Properties. Under Adobe PDF settings, I unchecked the box that said "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts." and that worked for me.
Hope it helps.

- Problem: I have 1400 e-mails with attachments that need to be converted into pdf and the attachments cannot be embeded.
System: PC Windows 7 using Acrobat X Prof. - Thank you!

Hi ,
There is an option of embedding index for faster search while converting email to a PDF .
However I am not sure that will serve your purpose or not .
I would recommend you to get in touch with Microsoft support as well .
Meanwhile I'll work on it and get back to you in case I get a desired solution .

Creating interactive PDFs with page turn,issue with PDF

I recently watch a video on adobe tv titled "indesign : creating interactive PDFs with page turn and flash animation". The video was great,simple to follow with great results, I was able to create a document with interactive page turns that was viewable in a web browser,the next step was to then create the same document but be able to view it in PDF format. I followed the above mentioned video and everything worked apart from one issue once I exported the indesign file out as an interactive PDF it opened up in adobe acrobat pro with no problem but when I went to turn the page it would lag and slow down to the point were it was almost impossible to turn the page, the page turning didn't seem to flow as well as when viewing it in a web browser. The document I am creating is a catalogue and I am happy with the interactive version for the web but I am looking at putting the catalogue on a CD/ USB and need it to open and work with PDF, it would be a great help if anyone could advise me on the reason why the interactive page turning runs so poor in PDF format. I am currently running on a very powerful computer with the adobe CS5 master suit.
Any help would be much appreciated

The page flipping is an SWF effect, so essentially you now have an entire SWF embedded inside a PDF.
If you forget about this garish effect (which, I can guarantee you, by next year will be "so 2012") you can send out a standard PDF which can be easily viewed on otherwise sub-standard computers, and using very straightforward PDF readers, such as the ones currently available for the iPad and its clones.

Hyperlink address get truncated when creating a pdf from MS Access.

I have a MS Access 2002 Report that I need to export to a pdf. I have several text boxes, and several hyperlink boxes. The hyperlinks show up in the pdf, however, when I click on the link, Acrobat only recognizes the first line of the address and the links don't work.
For example here is a sample hyperlink address notice that it wraps around in the box:
http://forms.adobe.com/
post/input_etc
When I click on the link, Internet Explorer opens and tries to go to http://forms.adobe.com/ However, since the entire address isn't on the same line, IE can't open the link.
I need to create ongoing pdfs from the database and can't spend the time fixing this issue each time.
I had Acrobat Pro 8, and have upgraded to Pro 9, but the problem persists.

I think that export is a MS solution. Do you have an Adobe icon or Create PDF menu on your Access? In Access 2007, it will show up as an Acrobat menu. This is the process you use to create a PDF with PDF Maker. I see no Export in Access 2007.

It used to be that when I created a pdf from a word or publisher document, hyperlinks worked fine. Now I cannot get them to work unless the text displayed for the link is the complete address and it all appears on one line. Why?

You can print to the Adobe PDF printer, but that only creates links that Acrobat or Reader recognize as such. That is the reason for needing the entire URL on one line. It is not actually an embedded link, but one created by Acrobat on the fly. With OFFICE 2013 you have two choices: 1. create the PDF with the print to Adobe PDF and then add the links in Acrobat so that they are complete or 2. I think the WORD save as PDF or XPS will create the PDF with links, but not sure. If so, that would be the quickest solution for you, but be aware of potential problems with the MS plugin.
Of course, the third option is to upgrade to XI which can be done with AA 9. You will probably not be eligible for a for an upgrade to whatever the next version will be.

Hyperlinks not converting when creating a pdf from Word 2010 to Adobe Acrobat 11.0.6

First off, let me say that these are not table of contents hyperlinks. I have created a document in Word 2010 (not a MAC) with hyperlinks to files residing on our company's intranet. In Word the hyperlinks work great but when I create the pdf, the links do not work. I have converted using both PDFMaker from Word and Create a pdf from within Acrobat. Yes, I have all the boxes checked regarding saving links. The links appear to work partially. Meaning that when I hover the cursor over the link, the pointy finger appears but when I click I get a pop-up message telling me the file could not be opened. Also, when I hover over the hyperlink, the address appears. So, I think it knows there's a link and it tries to open but can't. When I create the file within Adobe the link works - once. When I click on the link I get a pop-up window asking me if I want to save my file before closing. After my response the file closes and the linked file opens. However, when I go back into the file and try the hyperlink again, I get the pop-up telling me the file cannot be opened. HELP! I am at my wits end. After spending hours yesterday trying to research (I think I read every thread related to hyperlinks but I am not using a Mac, table of contents or Adobe 7 around which it seems all the prior questions revolve) and futily creating and recreating the pdf (as if doing the same thing repeatedly would somehow magically work) I am about to give up. This is a document that will be published to our intranet for use by employees which cross-references other documents to which they can refer for additional information. I would prefer to publish a pdf and not a Word document. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for your input Bill. I've checked the preferences and "view large images" is turned on. It's not all of the images which are missing, only certain ones do not transfer over to PDF.

Creating hyperlinks in a pdf from Framemaker

Hello
Really simple question; when you create a pdf from FM, can you convert the cross-ref's to hyperlinks in the pdf?
Thanks.

Error,
ALWAYS SELECT this option.
Links:
[X] Create Named Destinations for All Paragraphs
Ok, why?
Not sure, but this has been the best practices for at least the last 4 or 5 years. Maybe it has nothing to do with hyperlinks. Maybe its necessity has been removed with FrameMaker 10. Maybe those more knowledgeable will chime in. I always select it.
Bowen,
"This selected PDF Job Option does not exist in the current installation.
Either create this Job Option of select an available Job Option.
Continue?"
I believe this is referring to the selected PDF job options on the Settings tab of the PDF Options. It is saying that the select job option is not on the computer. This typically happens to me when a file has been PDFed on one computer and then opened and PDFed on another computer. The first computer HAS the job option and the second one does not.
If I carry on, the pdf does not generate a hyperlinks.
I do not know why the job option should affect the existence of hyperlinks. Again, I always select this option and clear the Generate Tagged PDF option, and I always get hyperlinked cross-references in the PDF.

I'm so confused!! I just want to create interactive pdf files (with video and flash files), but this free trial version is confusing!! help!?!

i'm so confused!! I just want to create interactive pdf files (with video and flash files), but this free trial version is confusing!! help!?!

Thanks for your suggestions. I checked to see if the options you suggested were set incorrectly but they were set to sync all. This led me to think the problem was actually in the iphone. I re-initialized the iphone and did not allow the system to restore any of the previous settings. In essence, I forced the phone to reset to factory settings. Then my video podcasts started syncing. All is well now. I did notice that I had seven podcasts selected that were "HD" presentations, and as such, are not compatible with the iphone. I don't know if this had anything to do with my earlier situation, but now I'm getting the video podcasts automatically. I'm happy. It wasn't much fun forcing the iphone to forget all of my preferences and I'm still customizing the phone now several days later. I think I have everything working and back to normal except I haven't identified any of my email accounts as of yet. Thanks for your help.

How can I create one pdf from a FrameMaker Book with mixed page sizes.

Looking for an easier way to create one pdf from a FrameMaker book that has files with different pages sizes; letter and tabloid.
So far, I have not been able to find a way to set up the Adobe PDF printer or Distiller to read the page size from the source files in the book and then create one pdf with the appropriate page sizes based on the file sizes in the FrameMaker book. I can create a pdf of the book using a multi-step process where I create a pdf for each page size and then combine them into one file. This is a lot of work.
Is there a way to set the Adobe PDF printer where it reads page size from the source files and then creates one pdf with a mixed page sizes?
Using FrameMaker 7 and 10 and Acrobat X Pro.
Thanks for any suggestions
