Visio to PDF Hyperlinks Get Cut short after '?' character

Hi All,
I have a visio document which has URLs to intranet web pages. These work fine in Visio but when I convert to PDF the links are not converted in full.
I.e. An example link is:
http://ngmkl01.com/kl/livelink.exe?func=ll&objId=14629466&objAction=browse&sort=name&viewT ype=1
This gets cut down to:
http://ngmkl01.com/kl/livelink.exe
I've tried adding single quotes and double quotes and << >> around the URL but this makes no difference.
Plese can you help as this is draving me crazy
PS. If I convert the URLs from Word to PDF they work fine!!! But I need the URLs within the Visio Doco.
Please help
Thanks In Advance
Dan

Hi Bernd,
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunatly as I have a company laptop I'm not able to install updates without them first going through testing and approval!!! (Crazy I know)
So what I did was to install 8 on my personal laptop and installed all the latest updates and the issue is still their??
Is their any way for me to create hyperlinks in Visio that will migrate to PDF, Can I us VB (I've never used VB) is their any other work arounds (I have 100's of links in Visio and so I don;t fancy each time I create a new version of the document to manually update all the links in PDF!
Thanks

Hello Rohit,
There was actually a limitation in previous releases, for external mails it is 50 characters. Check note 975947, it will solve your problem.

PDF attachment getting cut off

Hello Experts,
I'm trying to send a PDF attachment using a PL/SQL procedure. In this procedure Im picking up the PDF file from server and sending it via email attachment. The procedure works fine and sends the PDF but it cuts off the data in the PDF. When I open the PDF file I can only see half of page the rest is just blank. I cant figure out why this is happening, can someone please check the procedure and let me know where im going wrong.

Hi,
I managed to make it work, I changed the attach_base64 as per your recommendations but made my own slight change :-
PROCEDURE attach_base64_fromfile
(conn IN OUT NOCOPY utl_smtp.connection,
                    filename IN VARCHAR2,
floc IN VARCHAR2,
               mime_type IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'application/octet',
                    inline IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT TRUE,
                    last IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE) IS
i PLS_INTEGER;
len PLS_INTEGER;
fh Utl_File.File_Type;
buf raw(32767);
BEGIN
begin_attachment(conn, mime_type, inline, filename, 'base64');
fh := Utl_File.Fopen (
location => floc,
filename => filename,
open_mode => 'r');
BEGIN
Utl_File.Get_Raw (
file => fh,
buffer => buf);
i := 1;
len := utl_raw.LENGTH(buf);
WHILE (i < len) LOOP
IF (i + MAX_BASE64_LINE_WIDTH < len) THEN
utl_smtp.write_raw_data(conn, utl_encode.base64_encode(buf));
utl_smtp.write_data(conn, utl_tcp.CRLF);
END IF;
i := i + MAX_BASE64_LINE_WIDTH;
END LOOP;
EXCEPTION
WHEN no_data_found THEN NULL;
END;
Utl_File.Fclose ( file => fh );
end_attachment(conn, LAST);
END;
and created another procedure to call send_mail.attach_base64_fromfile :-
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE send_email_attachment IS
conn utl_smtp.connection;
BEGIN
conn := Send_Mail.begin_mail(
sender => '[email protected]', -- sender email address
recipients => '[email protected]', -- recipient email address
subject => 'Attachment Test',
mime_type => Send_Mail.MULTIPART_MIME_TYPE);
send_mail_vv.attach_base64_fromfile(
conn => conn,
filename => 'test.pdf', -- file name
floc => 'TEST', -- file location
mime_type => 'application/octet',
inline => TRUE);
Send_Mail.end_attachment( conn => conn );
Send_Mail.end_mail( conn => conn );
END;
Thanks for all your help.

Announcement title getting cut short - {tag_subject}

Hello, can anybody help with this please? (Yes, I have gone search through the forums and Googled).
I have an announcement with quite a long title that is getting cut a bit short. How/where do I edit the settings that control this? I'm pretty sure it's the {tag_subject} that I need to alter but I'm not sure how to go about it.
I tried some thing like this {tag_subject, 500}, it works in this case {tag_body, 100}, but it wasn't successful.
Cheers
Grant

You reached the system character limit for the title.
That title is a little long. it also forms the SEO URL so it is rather big and will have keyword bleed off being that large.
Shorten it down, punchy but keword featured headings are the key for the web and follow that open with a strong opening paragraph. You may notice good websites also have the first paragraph a larger front then the following.
Follow the principle of a little, little bit more then a lot.
Lead your reader into your content.

PS to PDF files getting white space after 127char

We've had an issue come up at our shop recently that's stumped us. We are spooling .PS and using Distiller to provide PDF with high quality EPS. We noticed the issue as we have a data element that is read by PDFTRON API and the service is seeing line breaks after 127char. We open the same PDFs from Distiller in Illustrator and can view some random white space after the 127 char and at times beyond. The white space/line break are not present when copying the data element from the PDF into a text editor (Ultra Edit) and are also not showing in the .PS file???

Sound at beginning of slide gets cut off after publishing

Hi,
Any idea why a perfectly good slide might have just the
beginning of the sound consistently cutting off the beginning of
the slide? It didn't happen in Preview, but now it's happening
since I've published it to the Web.
Also, I found when playing it in Safari on a Mac this morning
that suddently the audio got ahead of the slides, then paused, the
slides slowly caught up, and then started syncing again. Any idea
what might be causing this?
Bob

Rick,
Once again, a huge help. I would never have thought of daisy
chaining as the solution and after reading your link, I can see why
this is probably the culprit. I am wondering...I have a three
button "menu" early on that either continues or jumps to the end of
the slides to show a couple of short pieces, (about the author,
management tracking). I want to have all three accessible at any
point in the slideshow, so I'm wondering how daisy chaining them
might effect this, if at all. Could someone in the third part of
the daisy chain easily jump back to the first? Or instead, should I
move the short pieces into the first piece? I guess I'm wondering
if daisy chaining allows the broswer to unload the previous ones to
free up memory, and therefore not allowing the user to access the
earlier pieces. Thanks again. You've been a great help...and on New
Year's Day at that!
Bob

Text / Titles Get Cut Off After 3 Lines?

I did some searching but couldn't find a discussion on this. When I add a Title of any kind and try to fill it with more words that fit on the screen (in vertical space) it just cuts them off at the bottom. I've attached an image that shows the third "wednesdays" text in my project and you can see it cuts off the bottom of the Y. If I add a fourth "wednesdays" you don't see it at all. Using the transform tool only stretches the text, it doesn't increase the vertical space available for more text. I am running Lion if it matters.
Has anyone found a fix for adding more vertical space for text or is this a known bug? Or am I missing something really easy?
Thanks!

When converting word doc to pdf with Acrobat words getting cut off?

Hi all,
As you can see from this example:
When converting from word document the words on the pages in the final PDF are getting cut off on the edge of the page?
I've adjusted the margins in page layout in MS Word to Normal, Moderate & Wide etc, etc
Never ever had this problem before...does anybody have any idea why or what I could do?
Thanks in advance.

As a quick check, set the printer to the Adobe PDF printer in WORD and then check for the proper operation. Also be sure the paper dimensions and orientation of your document and the printer properties match up (I have had some problems with the orientation when I have auto-rotate on). You may have to play some to get something to work. I have done that before and settled on a process that works for me, but I can't claim it all makes perfect sense. To many things are going on in some sense.

Tape delay gets cut off in the middle of a project

I'm working on a multichannel 24bit, 48kHz audio project in Soundtrack Pro version 1.1.
I'm using WAVs as source material.
One of the audiotracks contains a short sample of 1 second, that has a Tape Delay effect on it with the feedback on 55%, so it keeps repeating for about a minute. At least, that's what is should do.
The problem is that it gets cut off after around 15 seconds.
This does not happen when I solo the track or some of the tracks.
I've converted the 24bit, 48kHZ source WAVs to 24bit & 16bit AIFFs, but this doesn't make a difference.
I found a work around, by solo exporting & importing the track with the delay on it, but this is not how it should be.
Has anyone had similar problems and maybe found a solution?
Thanks.
G5 Dual 1.8Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.9)

For everybody who has the same problem: I found a solution.
Soundtrack appears to end an effect abruptly after around 15 seconds when there are no new clips on the timeline in that track.
The solution is adding 'silent clips' in those tracks every 10 or 15 seconds for as long as the effect has to continue. Not very elegant, but it works.

Default Printer not sticking in 10.4.10 (Previous posts keep getting cut

Sorry, my previous posts keep getting cut off after the first line.
This is something I've just noticed in the last few days.
I have three printers plus the Adobe PDF printer in my printer list: an Epson SC Photo 2200 with all of its variants, an Epson SC 740, a LaserWriter IIg (in great shape), and the PDF virtual printer.
Although I have repeatedly set the Epson 2200 Standard Minimize Margins as my default printer, every time I select a different printer in the Print dialog box, that one becomes the default printer. I have to launch the Printer Setup Utility to change it back.
I print to the Epson 2200 out of Photoshop CS3 and other Adobe applications, to the Apple Laserwriter IIg out of Word and Excel, to the Epson 740 out of Firefox, and to PDF out of Firefox, Word, TextEdit, etc.
It doesn't matter in which application I call the Print command, whichever printer I choose in the printer driver dialog box or in Page Setup becomes the default printer.
Everything is printing fine, but I would prefer to have a constant default printer. Photoshop CS2 and CS3 have printing issues unless the default printer is the one to which I'm printing.
This anomaly has been happening since before a video display card upgrade two days ago.
Has there been a change, or do I need to start thinking about Archive and Install of the OS?
I'm a fanatic about Repairing Permissions before and after any software install or update, running DiskWarrior, etc.
Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Imported movie is cut short in timeline

I have a mp4 video file that I need to edit. When I import the file into Premiere Pro CS6 the file cuts off about 1 sec before it ends. The mp4 movie file is 15fps with 44.1kHz audio. I created a Custom preset with the same settings. When I drag the movie into the timeline it says the settings are not the same so I select to match movie. The end of the movie is chopped and I can hear the last bit of audio. I can play the movie just fine in Quicktime Player - just not in Premier since it gets cut short. I've tried to drag out the end of the clip in the timeline but it's as if there's nothing else there -- even though I hear and see it in QT Player.
I first noticed this when playing the external mp4 video in a Flash movie with the FLBPlayback component. I thought that perhaps the 15fps rate was the problem as the Flash movie was set to 24fps. I changed the Flash movie to 15fps - published - and still it's cut short.
I can't understand why both Flash and Premiere are cutting the movie short but Quicktime Player is not. Any ideas that might help me figure out what's going on?? Thanks.

I made a typo in my op. I meant to say "The end of the movie is chopped and I can't hear the last bit of audio."

How do you increase/decrease volume on an iTunes song? Also, some songs get cut off before they are over.

This is in reference to Follow Up 286560206; under the control tab on "Libraries" the drop down indicates that a song can be increased in volume by pressing ctrl + up and decreased by pressing ctrl + down, but no matter how I try it nothing happens. Also, some songs get cut short, and once I saw an option on how to lengthen the play time on a song, but I can't remember how to get back to this screen. Thank you.

Every time i download a album some of the songs get cut in half

every time i download a album some of the songs get cut short. what is causing that to happen?

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, close and then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

While creating a project in Garage Band my sample tracks were cut short then overwritten in soundtrack pro. Any ideas why? and how to get my tracks back?

While creating a project in Garage Band 09 my sample tracks were being cut short- I then discovered they had been overwritten in soundtrack pro.
Any ideas why? and how to get my tracks back?
I never opened soundtrack pro to edit the track just Garage band....the track just mysteriously saved as half the track.
I am running Lion and I upgraded my Garage band to '11 hoping it would resolve the issue...it didn't. Now I can't find that tracks at all.
The 2 songs having the issue are titled Exotic Yearning and Reunion.
I am in the process of reinstalling the audio content from my discs. I just don't want to run into this again.
Any thoughts and help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

After spending some time reinstalling the soundtrack pro 3 content I opened the full track called Reunion.
It showed back up in Garage Band.*It was the full track and wasn't chopped off until I dragged it onto the project. Then it showed up chopped.
Then I closed Garaged band and opened soundtrack pro 3....The song was again chopped off at the 1:33min mark
Very Frusterated...:(
