Unable to link to specific OEM target pages

Hi
We have about 400 individual targets we monitor through grid control. I'm creating some documentation (in MS Word) and including hyperlinks to specific target pages - eg: http://gcserver:port/em/console/monitoring/hostOverview$type=host$target=host_name
When I select the url through from within the word document, it tries to load the selected page and then takes me to the GC home page instead(http://gcserver:port/em/console/home). However, I can paste the correct URL directly into the address bar of a new browser session it works fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jake.

I was just trying to do the same thing and get the same results. The issue seems to be with MS Office and how it interprets the link. I think it is the $ in the link. Still looking for a fix.

Linking to specific pages within several other pdfs

My source pdf has ~700 references and I need to create a link to each reference (target pdfs). There are hundreds of target pdfs and the source document references different pages within each of the target pdfs. The target pdfs need to contain the entire document and not just the cited pages. What I am doing is creating a link and selecting opening a file. What I am not able to do, is assign a page number to this link so that a certain page will appear instead of page 1. I understand that you can set the initial view with file properties, but that will not work as I would then have to create a pdf for each link and there are far too many references to do that. Here is a sample "Reference at pp. 2, 4, 6." and in this sample I want a separate link for each reference that will go to page 2, page 4 and page 6 (again I need the entire document for reading purposes for these links and not these specific pages).

Is Acrobat Pro right for us. We have an Employee Handbook that needs editing. Some is current pdf, some from an older version. Want to get all into one handbook, have the table of contents automatically adjust and link to specific pages from the ToC.

You can download the trial version (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html) to convert the PDF back to WORD if you do not have the original. The conversion may not be perfect, but it is typically better than starting from scratch. You may be lucky and get a good result. You might check the settings (in the save screen) to try retain format versus retain text flow. The format version can be a pain to edit since it creates a bunch of text boxes. The flow version may require you to reformat in WORD, but you likely would want to do that anyway.

Direct link to specific page in page flip swf?

This may have an easy answer, but is there a way to link directly to a specific page in a page-flip swf via direct link from another site/web page/etc.?
If my page flip swf is on myzines.com/2010-08-01.html ...
Is there a way to link from any other web page to the page noted above and directly to page 12 of the swf?
Something like myzines.com/2010-08-01.html#page12 or myzines.com/2010-08-01.html?page=12 perhaps?
Seems like it should be possible, but I'm not seeing it and haven't seen anything in the forums. Any leads would be appreciated.

HTML Link to Product Revenue Detail Page

I have a simple table report developed for the Product Revenue.
Help me with either "Custom Text" using ActionLink or a HTML Link for navigating to Product Revenue Page.
I tried following link
http://"@[html]"<a target=_blank href=https://secure-ausomxafa.crmondemand.com/OnDemand/user/RevenueDetail?OMTHD=RevenueDetailNav&OMTGT=RevenueDetailForm&RevenueDetailForm.Id="@">"Click"
Thanks

Try this:
'Product Detail'
the product revenue needs the Opty ID to be passed into it. If this doesn't paste properly email me at alex.neill@{see profile} and I'll email it to you.

How can I make a link a different color than the other links according to the current page?

Hello. I have created a navigation bar. And I would like to style the links to have the current page link a different color than the other links. For example, if all of the links have a black background, I would like to have the current page link to have a white background. The reason that I would like to style them this way is so that the visitor knows what page is being visitied.
I tried different ways but all of them did not show to make any change to the links. This is what I have so far. The links work, but all of them have the same color and background. When on the home page, I would like to have the home page link to have a white background with black letters. I would appreciate your advice.

Link from report to another page

I have a report with form construction. The report lists Things. Thing has columns ID,NAME,DESC. The ID (Edit button) via the wizard is linked to the form and it works fine. Next I wanted to have the NAME column link to another page (page 27) whose content is generated by a PLSQL procedure as the region source. The PLSQL uses the bind variable :P27_ID to determine which record to select. On the reports page Column Attributes for NAME I have target page in this application (27) and in the Items List I have Name of P27_ID and value of #ID#. I hoped this would work like the link to the Form page but it doesn't quite. The problem is on Page 27 I wind up with the record for the previous time I clicked a NAME in the report list. It's like one behind. I'm missing something obviously.

Anonymous - Sometimes the session state gets corrupted when you're developing an application, like if you rename an item for example. If logging out/logging in permanently fixed the issue, it was probably something like that.

Unable to link click box to Word document

I am using Captivate 2 to create a click box. On success the
click box should open a Word document in a new window. I have saved
the Word document in the same folder with my swf. After testing the
click box, I get an error message IE was unable to link to the Web
page you requested. The page might be temporarily unavailable.
What is weird that the Open URL or File on success works fine
if I set the Word document to open in the current window. This
option is not possible, because I do not want users leaving the
course. Am I doing something wrong? Please advise.

I'm facing this problem since Captivate 2
but I just skip the link file part....
But now i doing my personal portfolio
which got huge link pdf and mpeg link file...
so I've tried Captiv8r method
but after publish into .exe
when i click the clickbox
i will appear ERROR sign and won't open the link pdf file
I've followed all the steps:
1. From Captivate, click File > Create a MenuBuilder
project...
2. Choose the "Blank Project" type and click OK.
3. Click Options > Project Options...
4. Change the Width to 320 and the Height to 200 (These are
the minimum settings)
5. Click OK to dismiss the Project options.
6. Click Insert > Clickbox...
7. You should see a "New Clickbox" dialog. There should be an
empty field labeled "Link".
8. Type only your document file name into the Link field.
9. Place a check mark in the "Save file with project" check
box, and click OK to dismiss the dialog.
10. You may see a warning dialog where MenuBuilder is
quibbling about the document not being present. Don't let this fool
you. Just click NO to advise you don't wish to browse for the file.
11. At this point you should see a small object on your
MenuBuilder. It should say "Clickbox" and be positioned in the
middle of the project.
12. Drag the sizing handles until it totally covers the area.
It should totally cover the whole area.
13. Now click the Export toolbar button.
14. MenuBuilder will then prompt you to save the project. Go
ahead and give it a name to appease it and click the Save button.
15. Select "Flash Movie" from the Export Options dialog and
click Next >.
16. Type a file name, choose a location to store the movie,
make sure the "View project after export" option is NOT selected,
then click the Finish button.
17. Now you may close MenuBuilder. You are finished with it.
We go back to Captivate.
18. In Captivate, open the slide with the link you wish to
use to open the document. The goal here is to click Insert >
Animation... and suck in the .SWF you created using MenuBuilder.
19.Then position that over an image or something that will
clue your user to click it.
I've follow all the step
but in NO.8 & No.9
If I just type the file name (and no link)
I can't place a check mark in the "Save file with project"
check box
and when I import the swf into Captivate
It will show a message:
"Adobe Captivate - Captivate link test.cp
The Adobe Flash file contains action script that reference
"root". This might cause the adobe captivate project to work
incorrectly or to stop working. do u want to continue to add this
file?"
and After burning in to CD
I can't open the PDF link file!
and it will jump out a ERROR:F sign! (actually what is the
"F" means? FXXK? haha~)
After several times try and error
I've slightly make some changes at NO.8 procedure:
8. Type only your document file name into the Link field.
(I've choose and place the file with whole link & file
name,
which is: C:\Unzipped\Captivate testing\D herbal tea
Leaflet(C).pdf
and then now I can check the "save file with project"
checkbox)
after output to a swf and insert animation in captivate
although captivate also show the "Adobe Captivate - Captivate
link test.cp
The Adobe Flash file contains action script that reference
"root". This might cause the adobe captivate project to work
incorrectly or to stop working. do u want to continue to add this
file?" message
but now i can open the link file (in same folder with .exe
publish file)
in any other computer!
I've checked the action script inside the link.swf which i've
created, and get the result:
// Action script...
on (release)
var szArg = "D herbal tea Leaflet(C).pdf";
var szWindow = "_blank";
if (_root.FlashPlayer == "1")
getURL("FSCommand:execfile", szArg);
else
getURL(szArg, szWindow);
} // end if
it shows the file name only!
Now it's no problem!
PS: U cannot open the link file under preview mode
it won't open
but after publish into .exe
u can open the link file!
Sorry my english is very poor
anyone don't understand can download my testing project from
here:

Thanks Captiv8r again for helping us!

Link to Specific Location in a Newly Opened file

I set up a link that opens another file. Is there a way to go to a specific location (i.e. bookmark) in the file automatically "on Open"?
Thanks for the help!!!

How do we open the file that contains the location we want the link to go
to? Sorry, but we are not that experienced with Acrobat!! Our users want
to be able to be in a pdf file and go to a specific location in another
file by just clicking one button.
Thanks for the help!!

Link to Specific Location in a Newly Opened file
If the newly opened file is a PDF, you should use a "Go to page view" type
link, not an "Open file" action.

Turn a text database search result into a clickable .pdf link to specific images

Hello and Good Afternoon all.
This is baffling me to no end, pretty desperate at this point.
I have a successfully implemented a search and results page from my database table 'products'. The results page displays a field from this table as products, msds, datasheet, description. I would like the msds & datasheet results to be clickable links to files in my images/pdf/msds folder or the images/pdf/datasheet folder.
The links are specific filenames such as msds-product.pdf or datasheet-product.pdf.. How can I get these links to open the exact filename that comes up in my search result? I can make it open the entire folder but I want just the specific file.
I don't write code very well - thank you for any help you can provide. Cindy

Hi Murray - Here is the exact code in DW on the results page with file names exposed in live view. I am concerned about not properly implementing this statement - where exactly should I insert?

Help with Links to my book/publisher page from ibook to ibookstore

My question : What is the correct way to get links to specific ibooks and publisher pages and on the iBookstore - as I have had trouble with mine.
Many of the iBooks and ePubs samples (Dorling Kindersly for example) that I've downloaded from the iBookstore have a button at the back which takes you to the page for the book itself where you can purchase the complete book.
Similarly on the books themselves they have links to their publisher pages.
• Firstly, I can't work out how to link to a book which hasn't been published yet - So at the back of my samples I put a button next which links to my 'Publishers Page' (see below)
• Secondly, I can't work out how to make a proper publisher page - if there is such a thing - the only way I've managed is to add the publishers name as an 'Author' to the book itest, searching for the authour in linkmaker, then linking to that page:
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/artist/elizabeth-beecher-publishing/id537956085?mt=1 1&uo=4
The main issue is that on my clients (newer) ipad some of the links behave differently... some only take to search page.
What I am currently doing:
• Finding the links by going to http://itunes.apple.com/linkmaker/ then searching for the name of my publisher, where I get to link to the 'artists page' then as all my publications will list the publisher as an Author, when in the new sample they visit this link it should take them to the page with all our publications on, including the one that they have just downloaded a sample of.

Apple has recently introduced 'short links'. That document requires a developer account to access, but this may be of interest:
there is a known issue (r.7414684) where itunes.apple.com links to your company's page do not open the App Store from within your app, giving an error instead; these links include "viewArtist" or "/artist/" in the URL, for example,

Newb in trouble :( - How do I set a home page/ link it to my other pages? CSS style.

I'm scouring these forums looking for someone who can reply to me in real time. Basically, I need to create a basic website for a project, where I have a main page, linking to my other pages that are divided by content. For example, main page would have a brief explanation of what the site is about, and then if you clicked on some text in my explanations, etc, it would link you to a different page on my site. Here are some things I am stuck on:
How do i make one page the first one you'd see if you opened the website?
How do i hyperlink to pages within my local root?
How do I hyperlink to internet based online pages?
How do i burn the whole website onto a cd, so that if I were to give the cd to someone else, all the local links AND the internet links would work?
These questions are all I need to figure out right now. If anyone could help I'd be grateful. I'll be refreshing this for a few hours

How do i make one page the first one you'd see if you opened the website?
Save it with a filename that appears in your host's default filename list. Ask your host what filenames appear in that list - usually "index.html" is there. You could try that filename first....
How do i hyperlink to pages within my local root?
Select the text for the link trigger, and use the Link field of the Property inspector to browse to and select the target filename in your local site.
How do I hyperlink to internet based online pages?
Pages that are not present in your local root folder? You'd have to enter those links manually by selecting the text for the link trigger, and entering "http://www.example.com/path_to_file.html" in the Link field of the Property inspector. It's important that you enter the *fully qualified* address of the page, i.e., the protocol (http://) the domain name (www.example.com) and the path to the file (/path_to_file.html).
How do i burn the whole website onto a cd, so that if I were to give the cd to someone else, all the local links AND the internet links would work?
Copy all the files within the local root folder to the CD. If you have made the links properly, they will all work (provided the user is connected to the internet when using the CD, and provided they initially open (manually) the "index.html" file to start.

How to give the link to specific post in this newsgroup?

Hi everybody.
I run to a situaion when I wanted to give a link to some earlier posts in this newsgroup, but I did not know how .
There is a long line in address field in my IE and it is to my personl setting I guess. What I shell do to give somebody a link to specific posr?
thanks in advance
Pawel

I believe you are wanting to just provide a link to another newsgroup? If so, you can just copy and paste the address into your response. Also, you can use HTML code to make it look nicer. For example, I can use the following address:
http://exchange.ni.com/servlet/ProcessRequest?RHIVEID=101&RPAGEID=135&HOID=5065000000080000008F550000&UCATEGORY_0=_49_%24_6_&UCATEGORY_S=0
Or, you can use simple HTML code within your posting. The format in this case is display text .
So, for example, I could also have a link LIKE THIS which will take you to a page also. Refer to This Page for more of the simple HTML commands you can use.
