Using hyperlinks in Acrobat Reader iPad, iPhonr

I have created an 'eBook' on maritime safety, using current Word for Mac. There are several hyperlinks in it, which I have checked. When I output as PDF file, so it can be read using Adobe Reader (which works quite well with my text and graphics) none of the hyperlinks work. Am I missing something or does Reader on iPad/iPhone not recognize hyperlinks?
The Adobe Reader on my iMac recognises the hyperlinks perfectly.
Thanking in advance.

The problem is that Word for the Mac does NOT correctly write a link into the PDF file. But then why does it appear to work in Reader for the Mac or Acrobat for the Mac? Because those applications have a preference which temporarily creates a URL hyperlink. If you look at Preferences > General, you'll probably find that Create Links from URLs is checked. If you uncheck it, your links will not work.
If you look for links in Acrobat, you'll find there are no links. You can look for them with the Create or Edit Link tool.
Reader for iOS has no such preference. The problem is in the way Word for the Mac creates the PDF file. (It's not only hyperlinks. It's also not possible to generate bookmarks form Word for the Mac either. It's always been this way.)
You'll have to use Acrobat or another tool to correctly add hyperlinks.

I am using the Adobe Acrobat Reader on a mac and I followed all the directions to copy an image but when I press paste only half of the image appears or it appears as an empty square. What can I do to fix this?

Hello,
I would like to inform you that not all the browsers and online PDF readers support copying text from a PDF. If you have opened the PDF online, please download PDF file to your computer and then open the file in Adobe Reader.
Please share a screenshot if the issue still persists.

How do I Reveal/Hide Hidden Layers for viewing with Acrobat Reader (iPad)?

Hi,
I've created a document in Quark Xpress with multiple layers which I then exported to a PDF. Using Acrobat Pro I created hotspots which revealed/hid these layers on rollover. It works perfectly on the desktop version of Acrobat Reader but not on Acrobat Reader for iPad (where the hidden layers are automatically switched on and touching the hotspots does not hide them). Does anybody know a good work around to this?

There are many features which are possible in the desktop version of Adobe Reader which won't work in Reader for tablets. I think this is one of them. Probably no workaround possible until the feature is updated.

Using links in Acrobat Reader

I am running acrobat Reader 8.1.2 on a Mac OS 10.4.7. I want to link pages within the document and urls but cannot find the link tool in the tools menu. Are there settings I need to change to access this tool.

You can't disable the "Save As" option in your browser or any other program using JS. If you use Firefox, you could disable it using privileged JavaScript, but such code cannot be excuted from a website. So for all useful purposes, what I previously said is correct.

Annotations on Acrobat Reader iPad

On my iPad 2, in some PDF documents, I cannot start annotations at the exact location of my preference; for example, annotations start at the end of the line and this cannot be changed.
Normally, for most PDF documents, the start and end of an annotation can be moved by the user.
Here is what I suspect is happening: the starting and ending point of an Acrobat Reader annotation may be moved word by word. This means that the Reader code detects where words break. In some documents (PDF books mostly, I would be happy to provide an example of such a document should it be asked of me) word breaks are not detected correctly.
It would be great if you could address this issue in a future update.
Thank you very kindly for your time and kudos on your otherwise EXCELLENT *FREE* Acrobat Reader for the iPad!

How to get collection of embeded fonts using plugins in acrobat reader?

I am trying to create a plugin for acrobat reader to display embedded fonts on opened document and will do business logic afterward, but not sure whats the method to get the collection of embedded fonts.
Please give me example of code snippet how to get collection of embedded fonts of opened document.
Thanks

PDDocEnumFonts() will enumerate the fonts in a document for you. You will have to look at each font to determine if it's embedded or not.
Don't forget that to build a plugin for Reader, you need a license from Adobe.

Using hyperlinks in Acrobat 7

Hi -
I have created a Word document with hyperlinks within the document. I have then created a .pdf from the document. Is there anyway I can modify the existing links to open in a new window from the .pdf?
Thanks!
Jessica

Open the document in Acrobat and select the link tool. Then select the link and right click to edit the properties. You should be able to find your options there.

Acrobat Reader iPad Version - Formularfelder leeren

Hallo Zusammen,
habe mir mit der Pro Version ein Formular erstellt.
Auf dem Mac und dem iPad klappt soweit auch alles.
Dann kam mir die Idee, das ich neben dem erforderlichen Eingabefeld (es geht um die Berechnung einer Finanzierung)
einen Button plaziere, der alle Formularfelder der letzten Sitzung löscht.
Auf dem MacPro klappt das wunderbar mit der Aktion: Formularfelder leeren.
In der iPad Version des Dokumentes wird die Aktion nicht ausgeführt.
Liegt das an der Reader-Version vom iPad, oder gibt es einen Trick, wenn ich den Button antippe, das dann die Felder gelöscht werden ?
Thx
Jürgen

Adobe XI trial has stopped my use of previous version of Acrobat reader now that trial is over

Now that my Trial period is over of Adobe XI Pro, I cannot use my old Acrobat reader, nor open any of my .pdf files!!!!!!!!!!!
Need fix. Reloading Acrobat reader does not seem to fix this issue.

You’ll need to uninstall all traces of Acrobat first, then load the Reader.

Adobe Acrobat Reader ActiveX Zoom Issue

I can't seem to figure out a way to calculate the current zoom percentage. When the document comes up it's auto sized for width. However I have no way of knowing what the zoom value is. How do I figure out what the current zoom is? I'm using the Adobe Acrobat Reader ActiveX control. I can't use the full version or anything that requires a royalty because this application will be distributed to thousands of clients. So to the vendors that want me to buy their product don't waste your time... Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Acrobat reader plugin displays last page in IExplorer

For some reason, when I open a PDF using IExplorer, the acrobat reader displays the last page of the PDF document (instead of the first page). Not sure why this is happening, because it works ok when I use other browsers (like firefox, chrome and opera). Is this a plugin error?
The PDF version is 1.2 (it seems not all the PDF documents behave this way). I tried to change the document version using a third party java library and Adobe professional, but it didn't work.

IF that were entirely true, then the whole purpose of this thread is moot (automating printing server side). It is possible to load the file via URLs using the following html code:
"<"body>
"<"OBJECT id="pdf"
type="application/pdf"
width=800
height=600 >
"<"param name="src" value="http://localhost/pdfs/vorder_nc.pdf"/>
"<"/OBJECT>
"<"script language="JavaScript">
function waitLoad()
setTimeout("printFile()",2000);
function printFile()
var objPdf = document.getElementById('pdf');
objPdf.PrintAllFit(1);
"<"/script>
"<"/body>
So, if I used php or some other scripting language on the server to fill in the name of the pdf, I can load it via a URL, wait a couple of seconds for it to load, and then print it without user interaction. I wish that the LoadFile method would load a URL so that when it returns, I know it is loaded and I don't have to put faith in a timer that may not be enough for a large file.
This is the situation I'm in. This way works but I don't like the timer. I'd rather have the plugin let me know when it's loaded. Is there another method that can help me do what I want?
Thank again.

Any Acrobat Reader 'free' / low cost plug-ins available?

Dear All,
I posted a week or so ago regarding using VB and Acrobat Reader. What I want to do is open a pdf in VB, navigate through the pdf then save the current page no. in VB. A sort of index builder.
I realise from the excellent comments / help I received that since this is aimed at Acrobat Reader the only way forward is a plug-in. Thus I thought I would investigate this route. I've been stopped in my tracks rather quickly after looking at the plug-in licence rates.
So, my question - Do 'general functionality' low cost plug-ins exist for Adobe Reader to help me solve my project?
Regards,
Albert.

Dear Michael,
What I'm trying to achieve is this;
Allow the user to load any pdf file they wish, browse the pdf and when they find they relevant section (defined by pdf page no.) allow them to 'index' this by storing the documents path/name and current page no. via VB. Its a sort of index but controlled by a VB program.
It appears I can do it with a plug-in but the project is only very small and does not have a budget to buy the plug-in yearly licence. The other way around this is to do it via VB and use a VB compliant pdf library, I was hoping to just use the functionality in the Acrobat Reader but it appears to have little in the way of what I need. It can load/browse the pdf but seems to have no acessible function to extract the page no. the user is current looking at.
Any thoughts are much appreciated.
Regards,
Albert.

How can I activate the text reflow feature in Acrobat Reader For Ipad

I have used Acrobat Reader for reading ebooks for a long time. Now in my Ipad I cannot find a way to use the text reflow feature. Can any doy help me?

Sorry, no text reflow on an iPad. Most PDF files don't reflow. I read tons of PDFs on Macs and never reflow them.

Acrobat Reader for Ipad

I downloaded the acrobat reader app for iphone/ipad and tried to open a form from a website and was given the message that I needed a later version of the pdf viewer and given the following link, www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html . This does nothing, anyone else have this problem or a solution. When I say it does nothing I mean it just takes me back to the app store which say that it is installed and the latest version.

Bernd is correct, the Adobe Reader for ios does not support filling XFA forms (forms created by Livecycle Designer). If you create the form using the form eding features in Acrobat (or another tool that creates non-xfa acroforms), then you should be able to fill it in the mobile reader.
