URL links on PDF's in intranet stop working

Hi,
We are experiencing a weird issue with links in our intranet PDF's.
When we open the PDF's locally we can open all links, when we open them from our intranet website (I have set it to open in PDF reader rather than the browser) the url on the links have changed from a \\servername\share\file.pdf to \\c:\users\username\temp\file.pdf.
any suggestions would be great.

Hi there,
Just wanted to correct a possible misconception.
There is no PDFMaker ribbon available for the 64-bit version of Office 2010. However Acrobat is compatible with Office 2010 in that you can still create PDF files using Acrobat X by printing to the Adobe PDF printer.
To the original poster, could you upload a sample Word file?
Thanks,
David

URL links provided in emails (Windows Mail) stopped working. I get a popup message: "Windows cannot find...." asking me to make the URL is correct. I connect to Internet Explorer, but not Firefox, my default browser.

I have already updated Firefox to latest version and reset the default mail program to Windows Mail. But Windows Mail now doesn't want to recognize Firefox. If I shift to Internet Explorer, I have no problem. I have no problem receiving or sending emails, just using links contained in them.
This happened suddenly, two days ago, at the end of a day when linking had been possible, per usual.

nothing that I could find would solve my problem, so I just gave up trying...
then I had a group of Microsoft Updates badly interact with each other, causing me all kinds of stability problems involving SQL and printer drivers.
To fix those issues, I backed out all updates within the prior two months, then [slowly and painfully!] reinstalled them -- when done in groups, you can tell how Microsoft corrects bad updates by noting which ones are not reinstalled.
I also had to download and install every single MS SQL update available before everything that was broken worked again. Note that none of the updates had titles that suggested anything at all to do with web browsing (other than Internet Explorer) or Firefox.
There was also at least one Firefox update shortly after my re-installation of Windows Updates.
Funny thing happened along that path: as of today (version 32.0.1) has none of the problems I reported, but I cannot say for certain which change fixed them: I was far more concerned fixing SQL and printer issues to even test Firefox for default file association settings.
Sorry that I cannot be more useful, other than the general suggestions to:
(1) keep your system fully updated with all patches
(2) keep your anti-virus, anti-malware, and anti-spybot software current as well
(3) keep any program that uses HTML and other browser protocols also up to date
(4) take regular snapshots of your registry, and create a system restore point before every system and software update, so you can more easily back out problems
(5) keep the installation package(s) for prior version(s) of software (and Windows Update files) at least until you verify an update hasn't broken anything.
Hope that helps.

Finding text in a PDF using preview has stopped working (correctly)

Finding text in a PDF using preview has stopped working (correctly).
When I search for certain words in a PDF using preview, it correctly finds all the pages in the document with that word. However, it no longer highlights the word being searched for. I have looked through the various settings and cannot figure out how to turn this back on.
Thanks.

4Shared worked, but having to register to retrieve files from there is a nuisance.
The problem is that you use special graphic state operators inside text objects which is not allowed:

Have a look at the PDF specification ISO 32000-1:2008 (e.g. at http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf). Table 51 shows that q, Q, and cm are special graphics state operators, and Figure 9 illustrates that these operators, therefore, are not allowed in text objects, i.e. between BT and ET.

Several days ago some of the links in my Apple Mail messages stopped working. Specifically, the links going to some variation of "response beacon" don't work. All I see is a blank screen. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Custom URL links in PDF don't work.

I have registered custom xyz: protocol handler in Windows.
Creating a hyperlink in MS Word and clicking it works OK – my handler app gets invoked.
Saving Word document as PDF used to work (somewhat – by passing URL to the default browser).
Recently it stopped working altogether.
Questions: where should I look for recent changes? In registry? Some configuration / setting in Adobe Reader UI?
And most importantly – can I create a hyperlink to my custom protocol that will NOT involve the default browser (as Chrome, for example, gets lost)?

Here is what I do.
1. Register txt: protocol with Windows to open Notepad.exe, with this txt.reg file:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\txt]
@="URL:txt Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\txt\shell]
@="open"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\txt\shell\open]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\txt\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Windows\\System32\\notepad.exe\" \"%1\""
2. Create MS Word document with two hyperlinks:
yahoo – linked to http://www.yahoo.com/
txt – linked to txt://test
3. “Save as…” this document as PDF, default options.
After that, open saved PDF in Adobe Reader, click on each link.
Clicking “yahoo” opens your default browser and navigates to yahoo.com.
Clicking “txt” has no visible effect.
Expected: open Notebook.exe and attempt to open specified file.
Note: that txt link works OK if clicked in the Word.
Also, the custom links used to work in the past in Adobe Reader as well.
I am looking for two things:
1. What could I change in the process of saving PDF or in Adobe settings to make this work again?
2. Is there a way to specify hyperlink in PDF to a custom protocol handler and NOT have it go through the default browser?
Thank you,
Vlad

Cloak (hide) URL links in PDF

Is there a way to cloak or hide the URL links within my PDF's? Or to prevent the MouseOver from displaying the URL link?
Basically, I have a URL link within a sample version of a PDF that takes a potential customer to a payment page to buy the full version of the PDF. I would rather the customer not see the URL itself to avoid confusion. For example, the customer is on the resellers site XYZ but the URL takes the customer through my site ABC (to capture the affiliate data) and then to the credit card payment page.

You can have a look at the reference files, but the basic command you need
to use is this (of course, you can replace the address to the one you want
to open):
app.launchURL("http://www.adobe.com/");
However, for this to work the user must have JS enabled and they will be
asked by Acrobat if to allow this website to open.

Acrobat Pro 7.1 how to delete url link from pdf doc

I accidently selected the wrong text when I set up a link to a web page. Nothing I do will allow me to delete the linking capability. When I click on the link, it takes me to "no such address" message in browser.
When I search Arcobat help, it appears that the instructions are for a newer version of the software, because I don't get the same tools that it tells me to use.
I've used the Advanced Linking tool that supposedly allows to delete all links in document, but it doesn't work. Links still there.
Anyone know how to do what I need done?
Thanks.

Hi,
I don't have Acrobat 7.1 handy but you could see if this helps...
Make sure the Editing toolbar is visible. Select the Link tool in the toolbar. Clicking on the link in the document should select it and let you edit or delete it.

PDF thumbnail generation has stopped working

Hello Together,
formerly I was using Adobe Reader X at an actual Patch Level on a 64 Bit Windows 7 system. At that time PDF thumbnails were no subject for me. Now I've upgraded to Adobe Acrobat X Pro and uninstalled Adobe Reader X. Then I wanted to use the thumbnails. That was no problem as I found a link to a tool which fixed my issue: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/305220
Everything worked fine for me, until I noticed that one of my applications needed an installed Adobe Reader to work properly. So I reinstalled the Adobe Reader on my system again. This caused to stop the thumbnail generation: PDF files which existed prior to the Adobe Reader installation still have a thumbmail icon preview, but those who were generated after the installation still appear as a PDF icon.
Before installation the fix from thread 305220 my workaround was to open Acrobat X, the navigate to the open dialog, moving to the folder with the PDFs within and wait that Acrobat finished the thumbnail generation. But this workaround now is out of service, too. So my assumption is, that reinstalling Adobe Reader screwed up something in my Adobe installation which I cannot find at the moment which has nothing to do with the initial problem with displaying thumbnails.
Performing some repair installation didn't help:
   (1) repair Adobe Reader, then repair Adobe Acrobat --> no change
   (2) repair Adobe Acrobat, then repair Adobe Reader --> no change
   (3) repair Adobe Reader only --> no change
   (4) repair Adobe Acrobat only --> no change
   (1), then apply fix from thread 305220 --> no change
   (2), then apply fix from thread 305220 --> no change
   (3), then apply fix from thread 305220 --> no change
   (4), then apply fix from thread 305220 --> no change
   apply fix from thread 305220, then (1) --> no change
   apply fix from thread 305220, then (2) --> no change
   apply fix from thread 305220, then (3) --> no change
   apply fix from thread 305220, then (4) --> no change
I hope, that I'm not the only one who got this problem and, hopefully, someone found a solution for this.

Did you at least download & read the user manual?
You can always call Apple Care if you are still under warranty. Otherwise, take your iPod to an Apple Store or an AASP.

Pdf files in iBooks stopped working.

I have a bunch of pdf files on my iPad 2, they worked great in iBooks, then they all stopped working, I can see them in iBooks but they will not open, none of them. They all used to work. I recently did a synch but not sure if that is when they stopped working.

Update on this problem, I just added a pdf to ibooks to see if a new one would open, all the old ones are gone now, bummer and not so good. I am going to do a synch tomorrow and see if I can recreate the problem, have a feeling this is an issue with synching?

Trying to open pdf and Adobe Reader Stops Working...Please Help

Trying to open PDF and it keeps popping up that Adobe Reader Stopped Working. And doesn't seem to find a solution to fix. Has been going on for a couple days. Can't access pdf files needed for my business.

With Reader XI I assume you mean 11.0.0; try updating to 11.0.06.
Also, can you open Reader by itself? If so, try to disable Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

Wireless connection between D-Link WiFi router and Time capsule stopped working

We have an ISP provided D-Link wireless router (DIR-615) to which we wirelessly connected our 2Tb Time Capsule for back up and to connect a USB printer to out network. This worked perfectly for 3 1/2 years, until about a month ago, when the time capsule suddenly decided to go "off line". ie we could no longer access it or the printer via our wireless network. We had changed nothing - just one day it stopped working.
We tried to get it back online with no success. As the 2Tb Time Capsule was almost 7 years old and had had some HDD issues in the passed, we figured it had got old and died and that it was time to replace it; so we bought a new 3Tb Time Capsule, thinking this would get everything back to normal.
However much as we tried, we were also unable to get the new 3Tb Time Capsule to connect wirelessly to the D-Link wireless router. The Airport Utility did not show the D-Link wireless router or its wireless network, although we were (and are) able to see it in Systems Preferences>Networks from all our multiple devises. This in itself seemed odd. No matter what we tried, the Airport Utility would not find the D-Link wireless router and hence we could not add the 3Tb Time Capsule to the existing wireless network.
At the end of the day we got fed up with trying to add the 3Tb Time Capsule to the D-Link wireless network, and connected it via a LAN cable to the D-Link router instead. We then set it up as its own network. Worked gerat. Having done that we thought maybe the old 2Tb Time Capsule might not have been the problem after all, so we tried extending our new 3Tb Time Capsule wireless network using the 2Tb Time Capsule wirelessly. This worked perfectly! And we are now almost back to what we wanted.
So although we have a work around, this means now have 2 separate wireless networks as opposed to the original single wireless network where everything talked to everything else.
Can anyone shed any light on any of the following:-
1. Why the original wireless network connection between the D-Link router and the 2Tb Time Capsule just stopped working? Was there some software change from Apple that "decided" D-Link wireless routers were no longer secure; and therefore the TCs could no longer connect to them?
2. Why it was not possible to extend the existing D-Link wireless network using the the new 3Tb Time Capsule?
3. Is there is anyway that we can get back to a single wireless network based around the D-Link wireless router as the primary router connecting to the modem, where the 2 Time Capsules connect as "wireless satellite base stations"?

1. Why the original wireless network connection between the D-Link router and the 2Tb Time Capsule just stopped working? Was there some software change from Apple that "decided" D-Link wireless routers were no longer secure; and therefore the TCs could no longer connect to them?
A firmware update to the TC came along and you agreed to it without perhaps even noticing.. it then smashed your setup because Apple do not recommend the setup you were using and it is very poor.
2. Why it was not possible to extend the existing D-Link wireless network using the the new 3Tb Time Capsule?
Because it is such a poor setup that Apple have taken away your ability to choose it unless you know exactly what you are doing.
3. Is there is anyway that we can get back to a single wireless network based around the D-Link wireless router as the primary router connecting to the modem, where the 2 Time Capsules connect as "wireless satellite base stations"?
Yes, this I can help you with.
I have several ways around the problem.. but the first one is.. why use the DIR-615 at all.. it is not a modem.. it is a very ordinary bottom end, poor single band slow wireless router.
Why don't you simply remove the DIR-615 from the network completely.. plug whatever it is the ISP supplies you.. an ethernet connection from whatever that modem is you mentioned into the WAN port of the Time Capsule. And use the TC in some router mode.. same as the DIR-615 was setup.. dhcp or pppoe or whatever.. I doubt the TC cannot match it.
If you have issues please post a few screenshots from the DIR-615 to show how it is setup from the WAN side.. and as long as you are given the username and password or whatever the ISP uses to authenticate then chuck out the DIR-615.
Tell me if that is a goer.. if not we can work out a few other methods..
eg. Simply turn off the wireless in the DIR-615. It is poor cf the TC and there is no need for it.. with the TC in bridge only use the TC for wireless as well as wireless extend with your old TC.
Or setup roaming network where everything uses the same SSID.
Then you will have one wireless network. And it won't matter what as long as it connects.. although IMHO this is not right as the TC is such a superior router now you are wasting your new TC.

Problems exporting to PDF in CS4, InDesign stops working

I'm getting an "InDesign has Stopped Working" message when exporting to PDF. It's a 370 page document and the error comes at the very end of the creation process. My only option at that point is to shut it down and try again. Funny thing is, when I export certain ranges of pages, say 1-20, it exports fine. And it's not a matter of a problem with an individual page or element, because I've exported page 28 and 29 individually with success but when trying a range of 28-29 I get the error. Any ideas/help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

reopening an inx or idml should clean up a few rotten elements. If you want to see if the font is causing the problems you could swap them out, generate a PDF and rule it out or in.
If I recall correctly, look for common elements on the pages where the PDF won't let you print. If it exports 1-25 but not 1-26, and 27-52 but not 26-52 you can located the problem pages. It does take time.
But if you can export the pages, you could save time by combining the files. Be careful though, when I did that the PDF pages wouldn't print the same troublesome pages.
I don't have a system for troubleshooting files like this. It only came up with one file and I've yet to see it again. Others may have more efficient of graceful suggestions.

Can't open file://-URLs (Links) in Mail or Messages. Adium works. What is wrong?

Hi, in our office, we send links to documents on our server with file://-URLs. In Yosemite (Mail and Messages) it is no longer possible to open these links via the services menu (open URL). Adium works. Do I have to change something in my Yosemite-Configuration? Thanks for helping. Best regards Michael

Apple broke the way Mail handles afp:// URL links in Mavericks and has finished breaking Mail in Yosemite by breaking file:// URL links as well.
AFP urls in Mavericks are mounting as volumes
