Adding annotations throws off Table of Contents links

I asked this a month ago and got no responses...Help is critically needed. When annotations are added, the bookmarks seem OK on authoring machine, but once PDF is opened on another machine, everything thrown off!
I'm involved in a paperless pilot project and am having a difficult time circumventing an issue in Preview.
I'm re-formatting material for executive meetings from WordPerfect, Word, Excel and PowerPoint into bookmarked PDF format in Adobe Acrobat Pro X. When they are opened in Preview by senior management on MacBook Airs, the Table of Contents links everywhere correctly. However, the moment they add an annotation (in this case, notes), the table of contents is thrown one page off, regardless of their place in the document. Even after removing the note, the table of contents does not revert to the proper place. I'm assuming this occurs because the annotation throws off the markers from the imported bookmarks.
Using Acrobat Reader on the Airs isn't an option since annotations aren't possible. We are also really trying to keep production of the PDFs limited to Acrobat Pro to ensure cross-platform compatibility of the Table of Contents.
Has anyone else encountered these issues? Is there a potential workaround?

A lightweight alternative to Acrobat Pro for creating table of contents for any PDF is PDFOutliner (only $5 on Mac App Store.) The TOC links generated by PDFOutliner don't have the problem you've described above. You could open your PDF in PDFOutliner and re-save it (the TOC will be rebuilt) for a quick test.
Note: I'm the developer of PDFOutliner.

External links won't work once published

Hi, I'm self taught so don't always understand everything and I'm a complete novice with iWeb, used Front Page before getting a Mac.
I'm in the process of building a new website using iWeb and I'm having problems with getting links to external pages to work. They work fine in iWeb. 'Enable as a hyperlink' and 'make hyperlinks active' is ticked for all links. I've formatted the links to be coloured red, then orange when visited and blue with an underline on roll over, grey if disabled. All works fine in iWeb but then when I publish the links won't work. They will momentarily and then they won't. If I refresh the page then one or two will work but when you go back to the page they won't work again. I've deleted them all and redone them, still the same problem. Tried it in Safari and Firefox, same problem. Deleted the site from the server and republished, same problem. Anyone got any ideas?
On the page in question I have a widget to SkyScanner, thought that was maybe causing a conflict. Deleted it and republished, same problem.
Here's a link to the page I'm having problems with http://www.marbella-rentals.co.uk/MarbellaRentals/flights.html and it's the links to airlines on the right that I can't get to work.
Also I have another couple of questions. How do you resample images? I have used a background image on the pages and I've managed to get it to stay static by altering the code slightly but don't know how to resample it so that the page will load quickly. Ditto with all the rest of my images. Don't want to have to resize them all manually if possible. Also, with the background image I don't know what size I should make it if I was to do it manually.
Last question... How do you change the title of your page and add a favicon?
If anyone can help me would be much appreciated.
Thanks

You have an image covering some of the hyperlinks - GraphPaper_01_3.png
Do a Command A on the iWeb page to find it.
Your background image seems to load OK. Use an optimizer to to get it and the whole site to download faster...

See this page for howw to add a favicon...

To add title tag and meta description you need to open each HTML file post publishing and add them with an editor app. More conveniently, you can use iWeb SEO Tool...

Links won't work...in certain circumstances.

Okay...here's the situation:
A couple days ago, all was well. ALL links were working just fine. Following a minor update, all links died.
I set the site up to navigate by clicking pictures rather than using the nav menu. All links to site pages were set up as internal links, any links to outside the site were set up as external links.
I've rigged a partial fix to this: I put clear shapes over the pictures and linked them...these work. Any links that I haven't done this with no longer work.
None of the hyperlinks on text work, nor do the ones I haven't covered with a clear shape. I've gone through, unlinked everything, relinked it and tried again, the text links and non-covered pics still don't work.
To top it all off, the photo albums created BY IWEB aren't working either! (these will be ericthelutheran.info/sclcy/bb2011 & ch2011 in the link I provide). When you try to click on the navigation buttons between pages or on the pictures to get to a larger view, they don't work at all. Again, the albums were created by iWeb itself.
I don't know what to do short of starting over, but I hate to do that after all this work (though it's not finished yet). Help!
Current versions of iWeb & Lion, tried multiple browsers w/ same result.
Site: http://ericthelutheran.info/SCLCY/sclcy.html
Thanks for the help, I'm so confused!

EDIT: Links won't work due to ID-10-T error. I laid a clear box over everything with line edge to "frame" the page...nothing like a nice sheet of glass to prevent it from being messed with!

Creative Suite CS5 download link won't work

Creative Suite CS5 download link won't work after eight attempts, trying to transfer software to new laptop. Final Solution: new software cds mailed if possible?

Hi Sheena,
After dowloading the CS5 Design Premium, I get an error messagin stating "A problem occurred while extracting the archive. Please try downloading the Adobe CS5 Design Premium again." I repeated this process multiple times (8) to no avail. I am trying to download the CS5 design premium on my new laptop, but don't have the software cds to do this. Thus, I can only download the software but after i download the two files required, that error message appears. (I already have my serial number). I have tried disabling my Antivirus as sometimes it detects the files as virus and removes them while downloading. I have also tried downloading after performing Selective Startup.
Can Adobe mail the software cds instead of sending download links?

Outlook Email script won't work with Reader 9.1

The attached form was designed in ES 8.2 and has worked fine with Reader 8.0. The "properties defaults" tab is set for Reader 9.0 or better. However, upon recent upgrade to Reader 9.1, the Outlook Email script stopped working. I'm new to Livecycle and scripts and was hoping that someone had an easy fix?

okay thanks. One more question. What script is used to activate the "read receipt requested" function in Outlook?

Subject: Outlook Email script won't work with Reader 9.1
Interesting .....it sounds like an issue in Reader. From a code perspective everything is good .....the code tells Reader's email service to communicate with the mail client. This could be where the issue is.
You may want to post your question on the Acrobat forum and see if they know of anything .....or you can report the issue to Support and have them look into it. Maybe something was introduced into the 9.1 version.
From a Designer perspective all is good.

Table of Contents links not working after conversion to PDF

I have created links in a MS Word 2007 document, including in a Table of Contents, a List of Tables, as well as internal cross-reference links. I have converted to a pdf file using Acrobat 9 Pro. All the links were retained except for the page links in the Table of Contents. Does anyone have any insight into how to correct this error?

MG,
You can get links to work in Numbers documents that have been converted to PDF, but it's quirky.
No links survive Printing to PDF
Links outside of tables (links in text boxes, etc.) survive Export in Sheet View
Links inside and outside tables survive export in Page View

Table of contents links that work in Professional don't work in Reader

I use Adobe Acrobat Professional Version 8.2.2 to create PDF
documents from Microsoft Word 2007 files. The main table of contnets, as well as mini-ToCs at
the beginning of each chapter, are linked to the section headi
ngs.
I've just discovered that the links no longer work when the documents are are opened in Reader Version 9.3.2.
Can you suggest a solution?

The topics and page numbers in the table of contents of a document are linked to the referenced headings. The links work when I test them with Acrobat Professional.
In Acrobat reader the links don't work.

Table of Contents links and hyperlinks lose accuracy in FP past 5 pages?

I've come up dry searching for any mention of this bug
anywhere.
We've got Word documents that have a table of contents (TOC
created dynamically in word, using the standard "Heading" style
method.) When we convert these to Flashpaper SWFs, about 50% of the
TOC links don't work - they go sort of nearby spots in the
document, but bring you to a spot off by half a page or more. The
links to spots in the first 4-5 pages work ok, but TOC links that
go deeper into the doc - from 5 to 20 pages in - those are off by a
half page to a page. The working TOC links in Word or in PDF
versions of the doc take you directly to the right spot.
The "outline" option in flashpaper also fails - the outline
links past 5 pages or so are innacurate just like the in-document
links.
According the the (scanty) documentation for Flashpaper,
Heading/Outlines, etc. are supposed to work fine and get converted
into the SWF.
I've already tried creating fresh example files, to make sure
it isn't a problem with sloppy Word formatting, extra Headings,
etc. - no dice. I still get TOC and outline links that fail to work
in many cases. They mostly fail for things that jump to spots after
5-6 pages into the doc. But if I convert these same docs to PDFs,
the PDF bookmarks and TOC links and hyperlinks work perfectly.
We've also tried using Hyperlinks in Word to create "pretend"
Table of Contents (not dynamic, but we're desperate), and we find
that those hyperlinks that go past 5 or 6 pages into the 20 page
doc lose their acuracy also - they are a half to a full page off.
We already tried the method of saving the word docs as HTML
then converting to FP(suggested within this board) but that did not
improve things.
Thanks in advance.

We solved our issue. In our case we have Word 2007, but our
client is still on Word 2003 so our Word document was originally
created in Word 2007 and then converted by Word 2007 into the Word
2003 format. It appears that we were having these problems because
we were running Flashpaper on the coverted Word document. A
document converted this way is internally different than a document
created by the Word 2003 application.
To fix the problem we downloaded the Word 2003 application,
created a new Word 2003 document, copy and pasted the contents of
the converted Word document into the document created on Word 2003,
and then ran Flashpaper on the new Word 2003 document. Problem
solved.

Table of Contents thing will not work correctly

The table of contents generator, or whatever it is called, won't work properly. It keeps returning this:
Other_ways_to_ego_boost
Table of Contents
Introduction
What is a nerd?
Transactional Analysis
Power Assertive Behavior
Other Ways to Ego Boost
Internet Tough Guys
Ego Boost Denied
Video Games Don’t Cause Violence
Case Study #1: StarCraft
How to Avoid Nerds in StarCraft
StarCraft Ban Criteria
Case Study #2: League of Legends
Checklist of Symptoms
Case Study #3: Halo/Call of Duty
Conclusions
Works Cited
Why is there something shown as "Other_ways_to_ego_boost" at the top of this? This appears nowhere in my document and is a redunant header of the actual chapter title which seems to appear correctly in the table of contents. Why is it picking up a phantom of this and putting underscores after each word?

When there is not a title set to Heading Style 1 on the first line of the document being converted, the next place the program looks for the title is in the file properties. Open the document and view its properties to see if this is where that TOC entry is being pulled.
BTW - if your title is not on the first line of the manuscript and there is not a title in the Properties field, the TOC entry for the eBook title will be <untitled>.

Make table of contents links keep current zoom level, not zoom out to full page

When Indesign creates tables of contents, they automatically link to the paragraphs the links point to, so that in an interactive PDF, clicks and prods take the user to that page. Great.
What's not so great is, that the hyperlinks / cross-references / jump-links / whatever that are created behind the scenes within the table of contents appear to:
...be automatically set to reset the zoom to full page width
...not be editable in any way
Normal cross references retain the zoom level that the user has chosen, and normal hyperlinks that point to a page in the document have a range of settings about what zoom level change (if any) should be imposed on the user, which can be set to 'inherit zoom'.
How do I set up a table of contents that doesn't annoy users by resetting their chosen zoom level to an artitrary default when they use the interactive table of contents?
I'm really hoping I don't have to ditch Indesign's table of contents feature and create every cross reference manually.

(editted) So it turns out that you can 'expand' a table of contents by copying and pasting it - this fills the hyperlinks panel with links that can be editted (like above) but breaks the auto-update - they're no longer a TOC, they're just a text frame full of links. (I had got different copies mixed up when I thought the frame holding the editable links was also auto-updating)
The greying out of the links was a red herring, just something to do with the fact they were on a master page.
It does mean that one possible TOC workflow is:
Create a TOC on the pasteboard somewhere.
Before finalising the document, update this TOC and alt-drag the 'live' TOC creating an editable 'dead' copy in an appropriate place in the document
Edit the link properties of the links in the 'dead' copy (don't forget that you can select multiple hyperlinks at once by holding down shift, and edit things like the Zoom Setting all at once with Hyperlink Options in the Hyperlinks flyout menu. )
Then, if you make other changes to the document later on, delete the dead copy, update and re-copy the live original, and re-do the changes to the new copy
This isn't a bad method - it just adds about a minute's work each time you export a PDF (delete, update TOC, alt-drag, shift-select the new batch of .XXXX links at the bottom of the Hyperlinks panel, > Hyperlink Options, Zoom Setting > Inherit Zoom, done).
Alternatively, you could manually build a TOC using cross-references if you want links to the exact position on the page, not just the top of the appropriate page.

Indesign to ebook-kindle: how to make table of contents link/jump to first page each chapter?

I have successfully completed the "ebooks: from adobe indesign to the kindle store.pdf"
I have InDesign CS 5, not 5.5.
I did the indesign doc - export to epub, then converted that epub in Calibre to MOBI format for kindle.
But how do I make a table of contents that link or jump to the beginning of its respective chapter head?
THANKS!!!

Yes, that fixed it, thanks! I had no idea they clashed like that. I ruthlessly purged all other tables of contents, and then used Layout > Table of Contents to create a new one, and it worked.
It made more sense after seeing in this thread that table of contents styles are more like presets or entities than styles.

Table of Contents Linking in iOS Pages ?

I'm in the process of creating a Pages file [on my MacPro], consisting of song lyrics, leadsheets, etc.
The file will be used on my iPad2, which will be placed on a music stand for live performance.
I've set up a table of contents [on my MacPro], and each entry links to a specific page [a song] within the document.
I've transferred the file to my iPad2
When I attempt to use the file in iOS Pages, the links are not present.
The document is currently over 100 pages, so scrolling to go to another page is too time consuming and awkward for live oerformance.
Does a linking feature in iOS Pages? Is there a workaround?
If not, this should be implemented. Specifically, it makes sense as an iPad feature.
Thanks!

Hi,
Something else that you can try, although it really depends on your usage of the Pages document, you can export the Pages file as an ePub and import it to your iBook app.
The TOC should be working in the iBook, it gives you a great way to read the information although you can't edit.
Hope that helps

Table of contents Bookmark doesn't work on Ios Reader

Hi all,
I've done an + 200 pages InDesign doc, and made an automatic Table of Content to link every pages.
When I open the interactive pdf on my desktop Adobe Reader, every bookmarks works, but when I open the same pdf on the iOS Adobe Reader, some of the bookmarks (1/4 of them) doesn't work anymore.
Do you have an idea to find a solution ?
PS : I tried my PDF on iOS iBooks, it works perfectly.
Bruno

Hi,
To diagnose the cause of the problem, we would like to examine your PDF document.
Please note that the Adobe forums do not accept any type of attachments. I have sent you a separate email describing how to share your PDF document with us.
Thank you for your help.
