Reading PDF with Links not working in iOS or Android

Good day all,
I have created a PDF file that has links to other PDFs. The file would be over 500 pages long, and too large to download to devices for viewing, so we as a company have determined that the best thing is to create Bookmarks and/or Table of Contents.
I have tried both of the following ways, and neither work...so any help would be appriciated.
First, create a link in the main document with "Go to a page in another document" action item. When you open the main PDF document and click on the link...it returns an error as Page Not Found in any PDF viewer on a mobile device (including Adobe Reader).
Second, create a link with "Open a web link" action item. When you open the main PDF document from any PDF viewer on the mobile device and click on the link, it will then open the browser to view the second document. We would want it to open within the viewer on the mobile device.
I have tried to post this in the Adobe Reader section, and did not get a response...trying here now....seems I cannot get an answer from anyone at Adobe either.

do you know of any way to get this functionality on mobile devices?

Intra-pdf-document links not working

Hello
I developed a pdf document in Acrobat 9 Pro Extended with links from a contents page to the subject pages in the publication. I placed command 'buttons' on these pages to return to the Contents page. Offline, these are prsent when viewed using Reader 9. Uploaded to my website, the command 'buttons' simply are not there - either visible or invisible, they have just gone.
Can you please tell me what went wrong and how do I fix it?
David Guthrie

You need to confirm what PDF viewer is being used when viewing the documents online Firefox recently added a built-in viewer and it doesn't support forms at all, and buttons are a type of form field.

PDF external links not working

I have succesfully linked to PDF's on my site in the past, but there are now a select few that are coming up as "The requested URL http:// was not found on this server." when clicked on.
I have deleted, resaved and relinked them, even changed their name. But this warning still comes up even after I "put" the page and "put" the document from the folder it is located.
When I test the page through Dreamweaver everything works, but not when I got to the site. I have tried the site in both Safari and Firefox.
What am I missing??

I had the same problem today with a new computer and new installation of Adobe Acrobat.
I discovered the solution that worked for me. I am not sure where the setting is located in Adobe Acrobat but if you are using Word 2007 this is where I found it.
Open the document you wish to convert in Word
File > Save as > PDF
Click on the Options button
Tick under PDF options at the bottom - ISO 19005-1 compliant (PDF/A)
OK
then click the Publish button
I then uploaded to the web and the links still worked.
I decided to google " ISO 19005-1 compliant (PDF/A)" and am wondering it this might be something to do with the Save As option rather then using the Print option I haven't quite determined if that is the case but I found this article which might explain any questions - http://doknir.blogspot.com/2006/08/word-2007-docx-and-iso-19005-pdfa.html

Embedded flash in PDF - Adobe links not working

Super annoyed here.
We have a bunch of PDF's used in public education by teachers all over which have flash embedded (yes some not so smart person created them)
Until 3 weeks ago Reader would send the user to the page: Acrobat Help | Flash Player needed | Acrobat, Reader XI
Which had two links in that would make Reader work with the embedded flash. (http modified so links will show)
hoop://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player_ax.exe
hoop://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player.exe
Now of course they just get 404 errors. We still get this msg with the latest version of reader and latest version of flash...
Now I can't find anything to get the embedded flash to play and I have Special Education staff screaming.
Not a happy camper.
Shooter

Yes, these links are old - I will try to get them updated.
The correct links are
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Flash Player for Mac OS X

Handoff with iWork not working on iOS 8.0.2

Hi,
I have an iPhone 5 and an iPad Air.
After updating to iOS 8 and also with iOS 8.0.2, handoff simply doesn't work with keynote, numbers or pages. All the rest of the handoff features (safari, messages, etc.) do work.
I tried rebooting, closing and opening handoff, signing off and the signing on to iCloud, but nothing works.
Anyone seeing something similar, or have a solution?
Thanks!

OK so here's a possible solution. Go to Settings > General >Reset >Reset Network Settings and reset your network settings. This resolved my problems. Apparently the brilliant folks at Apple don't as a routine do this with the 8.0.2 install and your poor little iPhone can get confused with the new upgrade. Resetting the network settings clears out the cache I guess and resets your connection (at least it did for me) and has you back up and in business.

PDF Portfolio does not work with iOS Reader 11.3.2 on iOS 7.1.2

Well this is upsetting. I created a PDF form with several pages of the same form (it's a travel log).
My hoping to use Adobe Reader to complete the form and save back as a week at a time won't work.
I created the form using Acrobat Pro 9 from CS5.
Does anyone know if a PDF form in a Portfolio should work with Adobe Reader on the iPad2/
Also, what can I use that works with forms as a portfolio?
Ken

Ken,
please could you describe your workflow. It might help to find some solution. Also it would be great if you can share a sample of your document. Please email it to [email protected] with the reference to this discussion "PDF Portfolio does not work with iOS Reader 11.3.2 on iOS 7.1.2"
thank you.

Inter-book links not working files generated with Acrobat 9 Pro

Dear All,
We're using TCS 2.5 and generating PDF using Acrobat Pro Extended 9 from our FM 9 guides. We have many links between guides and these links no longer work. Now only the xrefs within a guide work.
We have the same relative paths for the FM guides and PDF and keep all the guides open when generating them and when generating the PDFs.
The links appear active (acrobat displays the little hand) but when you click the link nothing happens.
We have no problems using FM 9 with Distiller 7, but we've upgraded to TCS on some machines and this is where we're having this problem (on machines with Acrobat Pro Extended 9). Does anyone know if this is a bug? or a conversion setting that we don't know about?
Thank you for any help or suggestions you can provide!
Regards,
Susanne

I've found that down loading the PDF file to the Nook and using Acrobat reader allows the links to work, however this is way cumbersome, any way to work on files directly on Acorbat.com?

Soft KeyBoard is not working on ios 7 with Air sdk 3.8

Hi
In my app Soft KeyBoard is not working on ios 7 with Air sdk 3.8. Does any one know soluton for this ?

Hi,
There's no question that TextFields and TextAreas weren't working in our case, likely because we have a deep displaylist with a variety of object types. Presumably, AIR has changed how it looks through the displaylist for objects that need keyboard, and perhaps we have an object type somewhere in the hierarchy that AIR no longer recurses. It's definitely something that changed, though.
It's no picnic to put together a sample app, I can't afford that time when I have a solution. But the symptom was very clear, a textbox would open, and the cursor would just blink with no way of interacting with it.
I'm happy using StageText directly, because it's a more direct way to interact with the OS and gives more control.
It also solves a bug in AIR that I haven't reported yet, but is as follows. Rarely, when you move the container of a TextField of TextArea after it has been created, AIR will crash and freeze iOS devices. It doesn't happen on Android or desktop, but with a user-base of about 100,000 of our app, we've had it reported maybe 50 times. One of our dialogs sometimes needs to reposition the elements, which is done animated. During this, AIR will crash about 0.01% of the time. We tried only creating the TextArea, but not activating it or even having it visible, but even an invisible TextArea will crash, presumably because AIR moves the internal StageText overlay around as well, and this confuses iOS after a while during the animation.
By using StageText directly, I finally also have a way to get rid of this bug, because I simply don't activate StageText until the object has already been positioned. Prior to that, it isn't even an editable text field, it's a label like anything else. So I'm happy I did this solution.
Let's just leave this thread as a record if someone else has the same problem. I'm quite sure it's because of our very complicated display list, and AIR having changed how it scans the displaylist for objects that need keyboard.
Best,
Per

Adobe Edge links not working

Yeah I have also experienced links not working when I import my .oam file from Adobe Edge Animate also. Is there anything the Muse team is doing to fix this issue? I need a response from you guys by the end of the week. my company website is malfunctioning due to issues with your software. If there is some sort of hotfix please let us know.

When you install the software illegally, using a volume license, there is a script you can run that will enter all of the adobe servers into your local DNS hosts file so the software can be activated. This makes accessing those domains impossible. This scenario fits the description of your issue, not suggesting anything beyond that.
The hosts file is in /private/etc/hosts and can be accessed through the terminal:
sudo nano /private/etc/hosts
If you see a bunch of adobe servers in there, that is your problem.

Fresh Install HCM 9.1 but Links not working. Help please

Dear All,
I'm trying to make a switch from SAP to PeopleSoft. I tought it easier to install PSFT since the number of source to install is much less than SAP. However, I kept getting same error where the links not working no matter which environment I tried to install.
I downloaded all software from eDelivery.
HCM 9.1, PTOOLS 8.52, Oracle 11g 64 bit, Oracle Client 32 bit.
First Try:
Install on windows 7 64bit. Everything works fine until first login to the PSFT and all links not working.
Suggestion from Hakan is to apply the patch and gave me a link to the old FTP site. I downloaded the 85209 patch but got password.
Finally I managed to get a customer ID from a friend and downloaded Patch 85211 and applied. But got java error so I scrapped it.
Anyway, Gasparotto said the environment is not certified and will not fix my problem with the patch.
Second Try:
Installed Virtual Box.
Installed Windows 2008 R2 and applied the SP1.
Installed everything all over again.
Ensured the PTWEBSERVER password similar the username.
Everything works fine but when login to PSFT, again..... links not working and see on the bottom left corner there are some javascript error where they cannot find certain peoplesoft objects..
Just upgraded to IE 9 because I read somewhere IE 8 is not certified.
Tried to login again, no error message and everything looks fine but... links not working.
Logs also looks normal to me.
Does anyone ever encountered similar issues before?
Does this is a normal behaviour before tools patch 85211 being applied ?
Thanks,
aLuNa

Does this is a normal behaviour before tools patch 85211 being applied ?Without patch, you have the error you mentioned. How many time I told that 8.52.03 min. is required, I did not go further, but there was some bugs before which make it not working.
I understand that's rather frustrating for people who wants to jump to Peoplesoft. I don't know SAP, but here you go, Peoplesoft is not a simple toy.
Unfortunately, if you have no access to My Oracle Support to get the Peoplesoft patches, you have no way but work on Peoplesoft OVM (free of use), and to use them on VirtualBox, the Jim's articles are worth to follow.
Nicolas.
PS: @Jim, thanks for the kind words.
My last install guide is quite old now (PT8.50/Linux), even though it did not change very much within the last tools 8.52. But seeing the number of time such questions have asked over here (PT8.52 on Windows), I'm thinking to write one more, that time on Windows.

Inter links not working, any way around?

Working on Nook using Safari, uploaded PDF to acrobat.com and inter links don't work. I've read in a forum about changing to PDF/a? however I can't locate where this would be in this situation.
This is a work project, many files such as this all with inter links that serve as task completion check ins. Really would like this setup to work.

I've found that down loading the PDF file to the Nook and using Acrobat reader allows the links to work, however this is way cumbersome, any way to work on files directly on Acorbat.com?

Facebook Links Not Working....

Two days ago I started having issues with links not connecting in Facebook. HIt the links, they blink but nothing happens. Did a reset and just finished a restore and still having the same issues. The FB app works, but the regular Web page does not. Having the same problem on my iPhone.... Suggestions?
Richie

Facebook apparently changed their coding so the site doesn't play well with mobile browsers now. all you can do is eitehr not access it on your mobile device or find a third party app that may allow you to access the site.

IMessage not working after iOS 5.1 upgrade! Feedback pls

iMessage not working after iOS 5.1 upgrade, anybody experiencing this as well? Feedback please......

You shouldn't have to hard restart and it shouldn't have anything to do with your router. If anyone else runs into this problem try resetting the network settings on your phone. All the steps to do this can be found here http://tekshot5.com/ios-5-1-imessage-fix/
Edit: Some of us don't have the option of resetting our DNS servers. I run my own for example for caching purposes.
