RE: Bookmarking; can you link to an external pdf file?

Hi, I apologize in advance if this question is stupid; I am very new to using Adobe Acrobat 7 and have not had any training using it, much less creating documents, extracting, linking, etc.
My employer creates PDF files of different documents, then wants to compile them into one new PDF file by extracting the information out of the individual PDF's and bookmark the information imported from each file.
The problem I'm running into is that some of the files are "protected" and I can only view or print them, I am unable to extract pages or copy from them.
It seems the only solution would be to make a bookmark that references the external "protected" pdf file from within the new compiled PDF, but I don't know how to do it.
Also, if anyone has a better solution, suggestion or advice for a better way to build these types of documents, I would be very appreciative of any help!
Thanks!

Thanks, George!
I really appreciate everyone's help with this!
(It's helping to keep me employed)
You guys are really nice folks!

Need help linking to an external PDF file

How can I create a link inside my robohelp project that links to a PDF file that has NOT been copied into the project. I am looking for a link with a relative path in the event the files may someday need to be moved.
Thanks

Hi,
Microsoft's HTML Help documentation includes a script with which you can link to an external file. See:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms644690(vs.85).aspx
This opens the external file in the topic pane of the Help viewer. If you'd rather open the file in its native application (Acrobat or Adobe Reader, in your case), you'd need to use a script like this one:

Can you link text to an "Open in New Browser Window" behavior?

Newbie here... the title asks the question. I know you can link an image in this way, but can you do it with text?

Yeah. The manner in which PDF files are handled depends on your end user's computer/browser settings, installed plug-ins, etc... In some cases the PDF will launch in the browser window. In other cases it may download to the user's hard drive or it may launch inside Acrobat (if they have it). Too many unknown variables here...
The best advice I can give you is to keep it simple. Link directly to your PDF file and use target="_blank" to open it in a new window or tab. And be nice to your site visitors, tell them it's a PDF file and approx. how big the file size is in KB.
Link (PDF -- 250KB)

Apple has yet to announce the licensing requirements for backing up for Lion. We'll know by the end of July if that's advisable or possible.

Can you 'link' an image state icon, across a folio.....?

Here's a thought for you all.....Can you 'link' an image state icon, across a folio.....
for example a "blinking" 'tap me' 2 state icon, that if you alter, it alters across the whole folio via links??
Object styles?

For each icon that you want to use in your email signature:
locate icon on internet webpage - right-click on the icon and select 'Save Image as'. Save the icon to your computer in a suitable file.
Then in Thunderbird
insert > Image
choose file - locate the saved icon on your computer
click on Link tab and enter the www etc webpage link info
click on OK to insert image with link.
Codewise, where you have the actual icon you would need something stating where the icon is located:
eg
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ubiquia/146019678805381" target="_blank">
path to image saved on computer included in within <> </a>

Personally I think you are going about this all wrong. I believe someone recommended to you in a previous post to look into the HTML5 ( http://forums.adobe.com/thread/874917 ) you need to end up creating the site with Adobe AIR as opposed to the way you are going about doing it. That would be creating an application like Tweetdeck that connects to the internet and uses interactive elements. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air.html
If you want to link a file within a Flash document you would receive a quicker and more in depth answer in the Flash forum as it will require ActionScript.

It sounds like you have a ton of ideas, but your lack of information suggests that 1. you don't have all the knowledge necessary to get the project off the ground and 2. your reluctance to share it suggests that you have an idea that you feel the program is proprietary. Given that this is the case you might be best served looking for an experienced Flash or AIR developer to help get your ideas going in motion. There is nothing wrong with trying to learn but the information you are giving up to go on is very broad and unfortunately it does not appear that you are getting the answers you are looking for.

Can you link two iPhones, one on pay monthly the other on pay as you go, to the same iTunes account? As once sync'd the pay as you go looses its service provider??

Can you link two iphones to iTunes account, one is pay as you go the other is pay monthly on different service providers, the pay as you go when sync'd can't find it's service provider ??

The iTunes account has nothing to do with the cellular service provider. So you should be able to have both phones on the same account. What problem do you have with it?

How many Airport Expresses can you link and still work properly

How many Airiport Expresses can you link and still work properly.

It would depend on whether all of these base stations will be interconnected by Ethernet or by wireless and what your goal is with them.
In a roaming network, where all base stations would be connected by Ethernet, you could have 10+ base stations. Apple has never (at least to me) any limits on the number of base stations that can be used in this type of network.
In an extended network, where all of the base stations use wireless connections, the practical limit would be 4 or 5 base stations.

Can you link files between illustrator and photoshop and maintain layers?

Want to be able to open an AI file in photoshop, maintain the layers I have in illustrator and be able to edit the AI file and have those edits automatically appear in photoshop. I think this is possible.

Do you mean you want an Illustrator Smart Object’s Layers represented as Photoshop Layers and still be linked to one ai/pdf file?
If so I have to disagree with your assumption:
I think this is possible.
While Photoshop Smart Objects have Layer Comps capabilities in Photoshop CC 2014 Illustrator Layers (and pdf Layers) are quite different from Photoshop Layers.
What exactly are you trying to achieve?

Rats, I wished I would have thought about that before leaving the office. I'm really not familiar with XML files. Good info that will have to be used next time.
