Share to .pdf loses hyperlinks

Hi
I have been trying to create a .pdf from Pages (ipad version) that contains hyperlinks. The hyperlinks work fine in the Pages document, but when I Share it and convert to .pdf the hyperlinks no longer work.
I have installed Adobe Reader and GoodReader on the iPad but the links don't work in those apps either.
Does anyone have any idea why the hyperlinks are rendered inactive when Pages converts the document to .pdf?
Thanks
Jeff

I'll try to get this thread moved to iWork for iOs.

Placing PDF with hyperlink in InDesign loses link

Hi,
I was hoping someone can help me with this. I have a PDF that I've created a hyperlink using the Link tool in Acrobat. I've placed that PDF into InDesign hoping the interactivity will follow through. When I export the InDesign file to PDF, the hyperlink is lost. Is there a way to ensure that the hyperlinks get carried through?
Thanks!

Still.
Generally I think the engineering assumption in InDesign is that placed PDFs will mostly be images, not text, and certainly not interactive text. Of course that is less and less true.
You can always file a feature request (adobe.com/go/wish).
Yes, it is possible to export hyperlinks from a PDF...I would ask in the Acrobat scripting forum, I guess. But it's definitely technically possible.

How to import pdf with hyperlink and and maintain its hyperlink while exporting it as HTML?

We can import pdf in indesign either using plaacemultiplefile script or using place submenu under file menu but both of them import pdf as graphic object and lost its all hyperlink. no doubt when i again export its as pdf than hyperlink are there as it is but when i export it as HTML,IDML or other format than than all hyperlink are lost so is there any way to maintain this if no than is there any way to write some new script utilities which will do the same .one solution i think is first convert pdf into docx and than import it as docx indesign import it as text frame and maintain all hyperlink but in this process pdf file lost its some formating while converting it into docx .

I probably should've remembered "rtfm" before writing all that. It seems to me now that I need to create a Master Page for each of the different layouts, then dynamically select the one I want to use at run-time, maybe with a script event ? The Master Page creation is a bit messy ... the only way I seem to be able to get multiple Master Pages is to open each Word doc, let Livecycle import it, then copy all the content into a new Master Page in my main document. That is, there doesn't seem to be a way to import a series of Word docs directly into separate Master pages of a single Livecycle form. I'll continue with the "read" part of "rtfm" ...

The iReader (like Reader in Safari) when I print as a PDF loses much of the text. I have to go to Safari to get my full text.

As stated, the iReader as you call it, the icon in the URL bar to the right for converting a page into a more readable page, when printed as PDF loses much of the information, as if a page were simply left out. Safari's reader works fine. But I'm in Firefox most of the time.
Idea?

Sounds like this extension: [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/ireader/ iReader]. Note that this extension was independently developed and unless a volunteer here uses it regularly, this forum might not be able to answer your question.
Web sites can have separate style rules for display and for print. I'm not sure whether the iReader extension is designed to create attractive printouts. When I look at the support site and search for ''print'' there appear to be many reports of problems: [http://code.google.com/p/ireader-extension/issues/list?can=2&q=print].
Some of these issues probably occur in Firefox even without using iReader, but just in case, you could try printing to PDF normally and see whether that works.

Share a pdf presentation

I want to share a pdf document in one of the rooms. My iframe looks like this:

xmlns:flexiframe="http://code.google.com/p/flex-iframe/"

<flexiframe:IFrame id="docsPdf" width="100%" height="100%" label="Share Documents" source="{}">
</flexiframe:IFrame>
How can I share the pdf presentation?

Currently we don't provide a "content viewer" component, but you can use the FileManager APIs (FilePublisher and FileSubscriber) to upload the file in a shared repository and publish the URL.
Once your clients receive the URL you can display the PDF in your iframe as you would do with a file hosted on your server (or anywhere accessible via HTTP GET)

In ms word 2011 on mac lion os lose hyperlinks when save as pdf?

In MS word for mac 2011, i am unable to keep hyperlinks active when i save document as a pdf file. I have tried to open word document in Apple's Pages and some of the links remain active but not those where an image has been formatted as link. Any ideas?

You cannot save a file that includes a hyperlink
A document that has a hyperlink that includes non-Latin characters, a shape, or is otherwise corrupted, might prevent you from saving or editing the hyperlink. To work around the issue, delete the object that you added the hyperlink to.
So there is no solution?

Lose Hyperlinks when Coverting from Word to PDF

I am working on a policy manual that whenever there is a FORM related to the policy I have that form linked directly to the Policy Manual. When I convert to PDF I can still click on the link, however it comes up with an error.
Error Code:
General Error
URL
file:///CI/Documents%20and%20Settings/
lorraine/Desktop/FORMS/Application_Residential.pdf
Is there something in the way I'm saving the forms or naming them or even location that is causing that error? Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks

I have a number of pdf files as pages in an ASP.NET website. I want to include hyperlinks to other pages that are not pdf files. I get the message "Could not open the file <file name>" which means that acrobat tries to open the file and not to transfer the control. Is there a means to make Acrobat 9 pro Extended to return the control to the website? Thanks, Dinu

PDF with hyperlinks to images and other PDFs.

Hi, All.
I would like to create a small booklet with approximately 12 to 16 pages as a PDF document but wish to have images and text in the document set as hyperlinks so that they can launch other images and/or documents. In other words, a viewer could click on an image or text and then see an enlarged image open on the center of his computer screen or see another document open over the original PDF. This would work in a similar fashion to what one can do with interactive books on the iPad created with iBook Author.
The questions I have are:
Where can I find more material to read on how to create PDF with these features?
I have seen PDFs that open with an application on screen that makes them 'feel' more like a real magazine. They are not a typical Acrobat or similar PDF viewer but rather an application that 'flips' the pages in a similar manner to what one would do holding a real magazine. Is it possible to do this with the PDF documents launched by hyperlinks on my PDF document?
Can these hyperlinks open enlarged images in the center of the screen while the remaining area around the image (background) become darker to place emphasis on the image?
How can I learn more about these features and how to use them with Acrobat and PDF documents?
In case the information is relevant I am currently running Acrobat 9 Pro version 9.5.3 on a Mac.
This is sort of an urgent project so any help you can share will be very appreciated.
TIA,
Joe.

Can't send a PAGES document Via email in PDF form ... used to be done by clicking share and PDF HELOP

creating a document on pages and trying to share it via email in PDF form used to be really easy...
How does this work now? help

I always just do file->print. Then in the lower left is a menu that said "PDF" and just pick "Mail PDF" from the dropdown and a new email is composed with the PDF attached. One step to print, one click to choose mail and you're done. I just tried this on the latest Yosemite and Pages updates and it works fine.

Share CUPS-PDF trough SAMBA

Hello
I am having trouble making a working installation of CUPS-PDF to be shared through SAMBA. Windows XP can't find the shared printers, the archbox can find it's own printer shares but can not use cups-pdf through SAMBA because of "Idle - Tree connect failed (NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED)".

Hi Everyone!
This pdf printer has been GREAT!
But I did have to make one little tweak before it was good for me.
The default PDF version of 1.4 produced an output file in which text would collide and overlap. Patching the build for PDF version 1.2 fixed it for me.
Here's the amended PKGBUILD:
pkgname=cups-pdf
pkgver=1.7.0
pkgrel=3
pkgdesc="CUPS PDF Backend"
depends=('cups')
url="http://cip.physik.uni-wuerzburg.de/~vrbehr/cups-pdf/"
source=(http://cip.physik.uni-wuerzburg.de/~vrbehr/cups-pdf/cups-pdf_$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=('875ed70ec1acdab9d935bca45ee521f8')
build() {
cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
cat src/cups-pdf.h | sed "s|CPPDFVER "1.4"|CPPDFVER "1.2"|" > tmpFile
mv tmpFile src/cups-pdf.h
gcc -O9 -s -o cups-pdf -Isrc src/cups-pdf.c
install -D -m 755 cups-pdf $startdir/pkg/usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf
install -D -m 644 extra/PostscriptColor.ppd.gz $startdir/pkg/usr/share/cups/model/Postscript.Color.ppd.gz
p.s. I know posting PKGBUILD source to the forum is somewhat of a no no
(sorry sarah31, and thank you for everything!)
It just seemed like a good idea to correct this for the archive searchers.

PDF with hyperlinks problem

Hi all.
I have a PDF document that I generated from a word document. The word document was created using Office 2007 on a windows XP PC. I converted the document to PDF using Acrobat 9.0 Standard. Upon conversion, the hyperlinks within the PDF file worked fine for me. My PC has IE8. I sent the document to the administrative assistant in our office to review the PDF document. When she clicks the links, she gets the security window asking her to allow or deny PDF access to the web. She clicked the button to allow the link, and then nothing happens. No browser window opens. I checked her machine and it's an XP box with IE7 on it. She is using the acrobat reader 9. I asked a few other folks in the department to try clicking the links and their computers acted as expected. I do not see why problems exist. The only difference I could find on the problematic PC was that the Bing and Google toolbars had been installed. I tried disabling them and that did not solve the problem.
The boss in my department wants to insure everyone in our department (all 9 of us) can open the links within the PDF before we declare the document in its current PDF state complete and ready to distribute. I have been searching Google for assistance. I found out how to use the link tool to modify the links so they run JavaScript code "app.launchURL("http://www.somesite.com", true);” instead of using the open a web link command. That way a new browser window is opened with every link click rather than using an existing open window and having the user possible missing the opening of the link. I’ve now tried both methods and am still at a loss. Both methods bring up the security window, but fail to launch the browser.
All help is greatly appreciated.
Mike

There are a few possibilities. First try removing the toolbars rather than disabling them. See if there is any security configuration in IE and Reader that is stopping the weblink from opening. It is possible that the issue is with a security setting within IE that is causing the problem. To check this out see what happens if you view the pdf from within Firefox.

Please share your PDF/UA-compliance experiences

I encourage others to share your experiences in remediating PDFs for ISO 14289 (PDF/UA) compliance. Let’s learn from each other’s experiences.
I am working with documents that previously passed the Acrobat checker and PAC 1.3 along with manual checks for WCAG 2.0 compliance – so, the documents were as accessible as I knew how to make them. Below are the errors that I am seeing quite a bit from the new PAC2 PDF/UA-compliance checker. The “fix” is not necessarily the best, just what I have found that seems to work. I am using Acrobat Pro XI.
error: Font not embedded
fix: Tools > Print Production > Preflight > PDF fixups > Embed fonts
comment: This does not always work as some font licenses do not allow embedding. If you encounter non-embeddable fonts hopefully you have the source document and can use a different font.
error: Tagged content present inside an Artifact
fix: Open the Content pane. Open Artifact containers to find any content containers hiding inside. Drag the content containers to their proper place outside the Artifact container.
error: Alternative description missing for an annotation
fix: Add alt text to link tags.
comment: This seems an odd error. Some links benefit from alt text but others are perfectly clear without it. Seems like this should be a judgment call, but the Matterhorn Protocol insists on links having alt text.
error: Figure element on a single page with no bounding box.
fix: This error goes away if I tag the figure as an artifact, which makes sense. But if I then retag it as a figure and add back in the alt text, the error stays away.
comment: Seems odd. Even the Matterhorn Protocol PDF (http://www.pdfa.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/MatterhornProtocol_1-0.pdf) fails PAC2 on this point! This could be a rough spot in the PAC2 beta, not a real error, but is easy enough to “fix”.
error: DisplayDocTitle key is not set to true
fix: File > Properties > Initial View tab > In the Show drop down box, select “Document Title”
error: PDF/UA identifier missing
fix: Create an xmp file that includes the required snippet of metadata (example: http://bygosh.com/files/pdfuaid.xmp). Then: File > Properties > Description tab > Additional Metadata... > Advanced > Append
comment: This should be the final remediation step, after the document is otherwise PDF/UA-compliant. To apply the PDF/UA ID to a document that is not compliant would be fibbing.

Hi Wendy,
The requirement that all links include alternate text in the Contents key is frustrating ...
To the best of my knowledge, no current AT makes use of the Contents key alt text
No current tool makes it easy to create and configure the Contents key. To do so manually with a long set of links such as a table of contents is time consuming.
In a well-written document, link text is often quite clear in context, and alt text provides no benefit in terms of accessibility. This is almost certainly the case with a table of contents.
So, you have to make a choice. You can ...
Ignore this particular PDF/UA criterion and somehow live with the resulting scolding from PAC2.
Apply regular alt text to the links. This makes PAC2 happy but PAC 1.3 unhappy.
Patiently wait for the opportunity to shell out big bucks for a new tool that automates setting the link Contents key, like the "coming soon" PDF Global Access (new version of CommonLook with a new name) from NetCentric.
Bite the bullet and set the Contents key for each link tag manually. It is a bit intimidating at first to delve into the innards of the tag structure and make changes, but you will quickly gain experience and comfort level. This is the best solution if you, like me, obsess with making both PAC2 and PAC 1.3 say "Pass". Just be sure, as always when working with Acrobat, to save early and often to a new file name, in case something goes horribly wrong.
If you choose the last bullet, the PDF/UA Reference Suite includes example TOCs. As to what should be entered for "Value", for external links I typically use the title of the target page. For TOC entries, following the examples in the PDF Reference Suite, the Contents key value mirrors the text of the link, for example "Chapter 1: Introduction".
Hope this helps.

Share new pdf created from existing online pdfs

Is a solution in the works to be able to create new pdf books from existing individual pdfs online? Let's say I have individual pdfs for each of my recipes, but want to create a book online to share of just my desserts. Without sending each pdf share using an individual email, can this be done?
Absolutely love the interface and where Adobe seems to be going with this.
Thanks,
James

Hi,
Thanks for your post. In order to combine multiple PDF's into one, you need the desktop version of Adobe Acrobat. We don't currently have plans in the works to add this feature to Acrobat.com, but I will share your feedback with the team. You could also visit our Ideas site and promote this idea - we actively use the Ideas site to prioritize the roll out of new features.
Best,
Michelle

How to Open Adobe *pdf Files Hyperlink in New Tab

(Amongst all the extensions I have installed are Session Manager and Tabs Mix Plus, either of which might have bearing on this question. Session Manager is set to restore the tabs still open upon closing the previous session.)
When Firefox is closed, clicking a web hyperlink in a pdf file opened in Adobe Acrobat will open the browser, but that page will displace whatever was visible in the last session's focused tab (the one which would have focus if the browser was reopened normally).
If Firefox is already open and I'm using Acrobat externally the same happens -- the hyperlink' s page opens in the tab with focus, displacing whatever other webpage is displayed theree.
If by chance a pdf is open in a browser tab (FF is configured to open pdfs in a tab from *within* the browser) clicking a hyperlink in that pdf will open the new site in that current tab.
What do I set to get external Acrobat to open in a *new* tab when clicking a webpage hyperlink in a pdf?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Check your browser preferences.

Microsoft Access forms to pdf with hyperlinks?

Help needed.
I can convert Microsoft Word files to PDF and preserve hyperlinks.
I wrote a new application for our parts department using Microsoft Access.
When I PDF a form with a particular part displayed, it does not preserve the hyperlinks.
Now I am in trouble because we need this feature for the engineers to be able to access supporting information about each part (data sheets etc.)
Since the engineers are used to the "Microsoft Word" earlier version they are not amenable in going "backwards" with the "new" system and not having active hyperlinks to the support documents.
I have searched everywhere for a solution and so far found nothing that works.
I am using Acrobat PRO X and Microsoft Access PRO 2010
please help as my "neck" is on the line...
thanks
Richard

In Access try File->Save as PDF.
If it's anything like in Word, the Save as PDF function does it a different way (ie. not via Postscript) compared to Acrobat. So you might get a result that way.
