Problem with URL in InDesign to PDF

I have two weblinks in my InDesign document.
When I output to an interactive PDF and open in Adobe Reader, the link is there but I get a message that "Acrobat does not allow connection to [URL]"
I have a clickable link in the document, then I right-click on it and in the interactive box do "Add URL" I've done it several times, so I'm confident the URL is correct; one of them is my own website.
What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks for the very detailed instructions.
However, I'm opening this in Adobe Reader — I wouldn't expect that the people I'm sending this to would have or know how to use Adobe Acrobat.
I did open it in Acrobat Professional and it asked me if I wanted to allow the connection — when I clicked yes, it went to the website. BTW, it's a link to allow people to download Adobe Reader — it's very annoying that this PDF won't open properly and play the video in Quicktime player on the Mac (which is what all of the people I'll send this to are using).
So your thought was right on the money, but it still doesn't work in Adobe Reader, which is the only way anyone can read this document. Ironic that the only link I really need is one for them to obtain Adobe Reader and yet, Adobe Reader won't allow them to use the link!

I think the real problem is that you don't check the return value from read (it's probably less than data.length indicating an incomplete read). Isn't there a readFully somewhere?

Oracle Text - Problem with filtering binary documents (.doc, .pdf, etc...)

Hi, I have a problem with filtering binary documents (.doc, .pdf, etc...). I use SQL*PLUS for remote access to Oracle 10.2 on Linux and I create table:
CREATE TABLE test (id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY, text VARCHAR2(100));
I insert to this table:
INSERT into test values(1, 'PATH/text1.doc‘);
INSERT into test values(2,'PATH/text2.doc‘);
and then:
CREATE INDEX test_index ON test(text) indextype is ctxsys.context
parameters (’datastore ctxsys.file_datastore
filter ctxsys.auto_filter’);
Message "Index created" is displayed, but objects: DR$test_index$I, DR$test_index$K, DR$test_index$N, DR$test_index$R and DR$test_index$P are empty => index wasn´t created probably.
I don´t know, where is bug, either bug is somewhere in this code or on the server (wrong installation oracle or constraint privileges). Do you know in what is bug?

The following is an excerpt from the 10g online documentation. Note the items that I have put in bold.
"FILE_DATASTORE
The FILE_DATASTORE type is used for text stored in files accessed through the local file system.
Note:
FILE_DATASTORE may not work with certain types of remote mounted file systems.
FILE_DATASTORE has the following attribute(s):
Table 2-4 FILE_DATASTORE Attributes
Attribute Attribute Value
path path1:path2:pathn
path
Specify the full directory path name of the files stored externally in a file system. When you specify the full directory path as such, you need only include file names in your text column.
You can specify multiple paths for path, with each path separated by a colon (:) on UNIX and semicolon(;) on Windows. File names are stored in the text column in the text table.
If you do not specify a path for external files with this attribute, Oracle Text requires that the path be included in the file names stored in the text column.
PATH Attribute Limitations
The PATH attribute has the following limitations:
If you specify a PATH attribute, you can only use a simple filename in the indexed column. You cannot combine the PATH attribute with a path as part of the filename. If the files exist in multiple folders or directories, you must leave the PATH attribute unset, and include the full file name, with PATH, in the indexed column.
On Windows systems, the files must be located on a local drive. They cannot be on a remote drive, whether the remote drive is mapped to a local drive letter."
With accessible paths and files, you get something like:
SCOTT@orcl_11g> CREATE TABLE test (id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY, text VARCHAR2(100));
Table created.
SCOTT@orcl_11g>
SCOTT@orcl_11g>
SCOTT@orcl_11g> INSERT into test values(1,'c:\oracle11g\banana.pdf');
1 row created.
SCOTT@orcl_11g> INSERT into test values(2,'c:\oracle11g\cranberry.pdf');
1 row created.
SCOTT@orcl_11g>
SCOTT@orcl_11g> CREATE INDEX test_index ON test(text) indextype is ctxsys.context
2 parameters ('datastore ctxsys.file_datastore
3 filter ctxsys.auto_filter');
Index created.
SCOTT@orcl_11g>
SCOTT@orcl_11g> select count(*) from dr$test_index$i
2 /
COUNT(*)
608
SCOTT@orcl_11g> In the following, I used a non-existent path and non-existent file name, which produces the same results as when you use a remote path that does not exist locally.
SCOTT@orcl_11g> CREATE TABLE test (id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY, text VARCHAR2(100));
Table created.
SCOTT@orcl_11g>
SCOTT@orcl_11g>
SCOTT@orcl_11g> INSERT into test values(3,'c:\nosuchpath\nosuchfile.pdf');
1 row created.
SCOTT@orcl_11g>
SCOTT@orcl_11g> CREATE INDEX test_index ON test(text) indextype is ctxsys.context
2 parameters ('datastore ctxsys.file_datastore
3 filter ctxsys.auto_filter');

Hi guys. i have some problem with a link from a pdf on-line,when i click on it,the page adds a "%" at the and of the link and says "page not found" because of it

Hi guys. i have some problem with a link from a pdf on-line,when i click on it,the page adds a "%" at the and of the link and says "page not found" because of it.
This happens only when a load my pdf file on my server, because if i click on the link when the file is on my iPad, the page opens without problem.
Any help please?
thanx

the % sign is often used when there's a space in a name. HTML doesn't like spaces so it fills them with % or %20
try, on the end of that link, see if there's a space built into the page or the link when the page was made
On the web address you may be able to 'backspace' at the end and erase that space to get the address, but whomever made the page possibly put a mistake in the link

Problems with special characters displaying in PDF when exported.

I have a very frustrating question. I've never had any problems with font and pdfs before switching to the operating system for Mac. Of course, they have Helvetica Neue pre-installed as a system font. The problem is, Bold doesn't work and is not an option. I've tried using Helvetica Neue (TT) but special character and punctuation disappear completely.
See below:
MЧnica PОrez
Unfortunately, that is supposed to say Monica Perez. There are supposed to be marks above the "o" and "e". Can anyone help me?

Try copying your T1 Helvetica Neue font into the Applications/Indesign/Fonts folder. This will give you the complete family in Indesign overriding the system TT.

Problem with URL:s containing scandinavian characters (Office 2013 / Firefox / SP 2010)

We are encountering problems with document opening when URL contains scandinavian characters (ä,ö). This issue occurs only with Office 2013 when using Firefox. With IE it works just fine. And Office 2010 works nicely as well.
Error message: "We can't connect to 'https://intra.../Test powerpoint.pptx' Please make sure you're using the correct web address".
This issue only occurs when document or document set name contains scandinavian characters. If I rename it, document opens without any problems.
Any idea how I could fix this?

Hi Law, try changing the settings in the library to "open in client application." You should also read the following links for solutions:

Discoverer Plus - Problem with Page Orientation when printing pdf's

Hi,
When printing pdf's in Disco Plus I have a problem:
My workbooks are a mixture of landscape and portrait pages.
I am printing the entire workbook and then using cutepdf to produce a pdf.
If I print to paper I get the correct landscape/portrait settings.
If I print to pdf then landscape pages appear vertically when I view on screen so that the text is running from bottom to top of the page.
So it is picking up th portrait/landscape settings from the individual worksheets but cutepdf has not realised that the pages are landscape so they appear on the screen vertically.
This was not a problem on discoverer desktop so I am confident that this is not a problem with cutepdf.
Any thoughts?
Justin

Thanks 2257648922,

Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

Problem with colors when print to pdf in FM9

Hi,
we have some problems with printing colors to pdf with FM9.
The FM document contains (1) eps file with a green box and (2) a rectangle created with FM graphic tools, filled with the same green color values (91/0/60/44)
In FrameMaker the two colors really looks different, but so what, in the PDF both colors (eps) and rectangle got the same correct green color.
Ok, the were different in creation, so they were CMYK and RGB, but your print shop could manage that.
Now in FM 9:
(1) If I do a "save as PDF" and switch OFF "convert CMYK to RGB" the resulting PDF is the same as from FM8 (correct)
(2) If I print to PDF via distiller and define the job options to "convert all colors to CMYK" the resulting rectangle green is very different from the eps green.
I tried different job options, the best result was "convert all colors to CMYK", other options just very more ugly.
Does someone of you know a solution for your problem? Help is very appreciated. I could send example files if necessary.
Thanks in advance.
PK

But we want to use the print option, using the distiller.
Pia,
this last sentence needs some explanation, I think. Why do you want to use the print option?
Using the print option, you still go the same route as FrameMaker Win always did, which is using the RGB-only Windows postscript driver. Now, with FM9, you have the option to get CMYK colors directly to PDF, as defined, without any color conversion. And it *does* work, as long as you restrict your documents to either CMYK colors or spot colors coming from the FM libraries.
So, again: why do you want to use the print option?
On a sidenote: I'm not sure if I interpret your username correctly, but if you are able to understand German, you'll find some in-depth color tests made with FM9 here: http://www.hilfdirselbst.ch/foren/FM_9_und_Farben_in_PDFs____getestet_P387800.html

Problem with selecting text in a PDF document

I'm having a problem with Acrobat 9 and Reader 9. PDF document that has copying and selecting permissions granted, when I highlight text for copying, some of it gets highlighted and some doesn't. Put the same document on several computers in the office, same issue. It's the document, but I can't figure out what the deal is.
We need to copy large portions of this into a new tech manual.
Can someone help

Without further information, my first reaction is to think that the texts that you cannot copy are included as images.

Are you trying to upload from individual Domain.sites files? It looks as if the redirects aren't working, and that's due to problems with index.html files--a common issue in '08 if you are trying to publish individual sites from separate/individual Domain.sites files. Moreover, the site(s) you are looking for may not show up because they may not even be on the server anymore. Domain.sites2 files, (iWeb2.0.1) will erase previously published sites on the iDisk when published.
Your username url wants to go to a site that doesn't seem to exist anymore on the server: HerringMemorabilia.
Best thing to do at this point is to have a look at the server itself. Use the Go menu in the Finder to navigate directly to the iDisk sites files, and see what is and what is not actually on the server:
Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites/SitesShouldBeHere/
Also, while you are there, take a look at the directory that 1.1.2 used:
Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/SitesShouldBeHere/
Once you see what is there you will be in a better position to diagnose the problem, e.g., issues with index.html files.

Programming Web Item. Problem with URL creating

Hi,
I am trying to programm a own Web Item.
I derived from the class CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_VIEW.
Everything is worken fine. I just have a problem with
the creation of links.
In the WAD there is the very nice way of using SAP BW URLs
like:
<SAP_BW_URL cmd="PROCESS_HELP_WINDOW"
help_service="ZPRINTING"
item="TABLE_1"
suppress_repetition_texts=""
P_PREVIEW_MODE=" ">
Is the a method or something similar to do the same with abap?
Greetings
Mike

I found out mayself!
You just have to use the object CL_RSR_PARAMETER.
There you can add parameters.
Then use the method get_url of the object CL_RSR_WWW_PAGE to make a URL string out of it.

Problems with tablesalignment (from Word to PDF)

Hello,
Ive downloaded the trialversion of Acrobat because our company needs to make little pdf's out of 40/50 documents and i want to try what program is best for our...
The thing is: i just cant get the tables right (sry for my bad english ) This problem exist with: Docx, doc, pdf, etc. etc.
When i have a table, with the upper standardscellsalignment set to 0,1 cm. The tables get messed up when i export it to an PDF. However, when i print it, its normal !!! (???)
The most upper horizontale lines are gone and the vertical connections arent any good.
I tried every setting, but i just cant seem to find whats wrong. I also tried 4 other programs, but same problems (also the standard saveoption in word: save word to pdf makes the same error.
There are 2 weird (part)-solutions: when i dissable the upper standard cell alignment in the table, so set to 0, and then save.... and the problem is gone (but i really need this upper cell alignment).
Other solution: When i dissable all the collours in the table, it is (almost) oke, but not completly. (but this isnt an option also)
I inserted some pictures to give you the full view:
Picture 1: on the left you see the result when i save it with word tot pdf acrobat, on the right you see the originaldocument.
Picture 2: An closeup of the problems with the lines.
Picture 3: The settings in Word, what is causing the problem
Thank you in advance!
Greetings, Coen

Problems with a report generated as PDF

I am having a problem with my report when it is generated as a PDF file from the reports server. A space is added soon after the letter w in all the words where there is letter w; for example, the word awake appears as aw ke, will appears as w ill, etc. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I am using Reports 11g. Thanks.

Hi
In layout change the font (Redo font) thru menu option (Not Font) Format -> Font >Western.
This may solve your problem...
