Wahoo!! Links work in 2.0!

For all of you out there wondering: yes, links in Pages 2.0 are live. Click on 'em in your exported PDF and a browser will respond! Tested it today myself.
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a table of figures, though. But the reviewing feature is welcome.
-Andre'

Thanks for this info! That was the one feature I hoped for in a Pages update (the others are all very cool, welcome additions, by the way). I will probably upgrade just for this feature.

PDF links work on only half the computers that open them??

Ok, I created a PDF Flyer that has two links. I created the file in InDesign, exported to PDF (and yes I clicked the "Export hyperlinks" checked box), and when I opened it on my computer, it worked like it should. I emailed it to the person who asked to me create it and when she clicked on the links, nothing happened. She tried it like 6 times and finally the link worked and the wepage opened. But then she tried it again and the link didn't work and went back to do nothing. We emailed it to another person in our office and the link, like on my computer worked every time we clicked it. Then we emailed it to another person and the links didn't work at all.....not even once. We emailed it to a couple of more people and the results were the same.
My question is: How come the links are working on some computers and not on others. I am using Acrobat 8.0, everyone else is using 7.0...at first I thought that mattered until I realized that half the people that can open it were using 7.0...I thought it had something to do with our internet settings, but for some reason, this PDF is the exception, I have emailed linked PDFs to this person before and she's never had a problem (and she definately hasn't changed a setting in IE)...
So I am just a little confused. I have created countless linked PDFs and this is the first time I have seen this.
Thanks a lot.

I don't think that going from AA8 to AA7 should be a problem for the links, but just in case use either Reduce File Size or PDF Optimize to save the file to AA7 compatibility.

How to make site root-relative links work in DW and Server both?

See details on buggy DW image link behavior, below. My question is:
1) how to make site root-relative links work in DW and Server both? Or…
2) how to reliably automate the change of several hundred legacy root-relative links of the form
/images/image.jpg to document-relative?
That is, to
../images/image.jpg or
../../images/image.jpg or
../../../images/image.jpg etc…depending on where the directory is.
The old format (/images/image.jpg ) used to work fine in my previous DW 8 configuration but appear grey in DW after “upgrading” to DW cs5.5 mac. (they look fine on the server, but it’s hard to edit image-heavy pages locally when they are all grey).
I tried changing the files to how DW creates root relative links now:
/public_html/images/image.jpg, which is a very easy, attractive root flow since there’s a one-to-one mapping. These look great in DW but are broken on the server!
I looked at the “advanced” site setup, and it looked like it might be possible to nuke the /public_html/ part of my server info…but it also looked like there was the potential for doing damage changing these settings, which are automatically generated from our server connection settings, which seem to work.
The “links relative to document/ site root” toggle…does that change how DW interprets existing links, or just change the default when you are adding a link? I have made 80% of the file links document relative…before wondering if root-relative isn’t better?
It sure seems less ambiguous for all those images if theres a way to make root relative work for DW design view, DW link check, and server.
Summary of buggy behavior: (see test with images here)
"old style" site root link
      /images/img_book/WScover120x150_NEW.jpg
      Design veiw in DW: broken (grey w/ broken icon)
      Link check in DW: "external link" (i.e., uncheckable, + file could appear orphaned)
      Browser: good
      Ease of switching: n/a (existing format)
"new style" site root relative link
      /public_html/images/img_book/WScover120x150_NEW.jpg
      Design veiw in DW: good
      Link check in DW: good
      Browser: broken
      Ease of switching: easy
Document relative link
      ../../images/img_book/WScover120x150_NEW.jpg
      Design veiw in DW: good
      Link check in DW: good
      Browser: good
      Ease of switching: hard (how to automate?)
Absolute link
      http://www.oasisdesign.net/images/img_book/WScover120x150_NEW.jpg
      Design veiw in DW: broken (grey w/ broken icon)
      Link check in DW: external (i.e., uncheckable, + file could appear orphaned)
      Browser: good
      Ease of switching: n/a...not a real option
Thanks!

Hello again Jon!
Thanks for jumping on this.
All clear and understood about where publc_html is etc.
No contemplation of nuking the actual public_html directory on the server, just the "/public_html" text string at the start of the DW-generated links.
"/public_html" is automatically added to the front of the link in DW if I create the link with any of the GUI tools, if I have "site root relative" selected. And ""/public_html" ends up in the code, and gets uploaded that way to the server, where it (obviously) doesn't work.
Doesn't sound like it is supposed to work this way. Also, what seems to be the usual root relative format (/images/image.jpg) shows as a broken link in the GUI and an external link in the DW link check. All this togther makes me thinkI have some obscure setting incorrect?
The setting that caught my eye is manage sites/ site setup/ advance settings/ local info/ web url, which is automatically set to http://www.oasisdesign.net/public_html/
it gives an option to change it but it makes every effort to make this NOT look like something users should mess with:
Having gone through the more careful thought process during this post, I'm ready to do the experiment of changing the remote server web URL (why is it wrong by default?)...think I'll eat dinner first so there's 45 min to avert disaster if anyone knows this to be a bad idea!
Art
PS--don't have a local testing server...don't think this will solve the GUI broken link/ link shows as external problems.
Is there an easy, automated way to change links sitewide from document to root relative?

Any ideas on getting facebook 'like' links working in SMS and MMS? A few issues Apple might fix please?

Hi,
I work in a Mobile Marketing company where clients use our bulk SMS / MMS messaging service in Australia. A few things I've noticed where iPhones are falling short in comparison to the competition in RECEIVING messages (and I hope are fixed because I'm an apple fan) - a few inconsistencies:
* Facebook links eg "Like us at http://m.facebook.com/example"... Last night the link worked on my iphone when I sent it from our platform to my handset. (4s Firmware 3.4.03, Version 6.1.3, Telstra) It took me to the page on safari, and even earlier this morning it did - yet now it won't (and I haven't made any changes). I have tried restarting, (soft and firm reboot) as well as ensuring I'm logged in - or out on another page. The link does work on computer as well as on my collegues (4s 6.1.3, Firmware 3.4.03 Vodafone au 14.1) and it IS working there - but not sure for how long (considering it was working on mine earlier too) FYI It also works on 9 differnt android versions of handsets in the office here too.
* occasionally this happens with shortened links too (like a shortened google map link). There seems to be no pattern to the issue.
* When clients send MMS through our platform, the delivery on the iPhones is inconsistent. eg, the client can send WMV / GIF / JPG with a Title, Header and Footer message. The artrwork should fall in the middle of the header and footer. However another inconsitency - sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't. I can't see any pattern of it as the layout changes intermittently (from minute to minute). This particular issue is limited to iPhones on software 6 versions.
* In a message, when the LAST WORD in SMS / MMS is a 'link; - like web address or phone number to call, OCCASIONALLY it does not come up as a link (therefore recipient is unlikely to type it out to get to it). Again, no pattern, just 'sometimes' does this happen. Have tried putting a space after it, that doesn't work. Only if another word is put after it will it always work.
* Got feedback yesterday that NO LINKS in message (landlines, mobiles, web address) were working on iphone 5. Not sure if this is a constant or another inconsistent link?
Anyway, I'd really like our clients to be able to use a "like us on facebook" link in their messaging with success... could Apple please look into solving these inconsistencies?
Hoping you can help.

You are not addressing Apple here. We are users like yourself.
The only thing I could think of in regards to this issue since it has worked on some occassions and not others is what if you deleted cookies and history from Safari. Does that make it work again? While SMS/MMS are a carrier function, I also know that some texts from different phones to the iPhone can produce strange results if the other device is using some type of font that is not supported by the iPhone. If you search the forum, you might find something related to that if you search for "strange characters in SMS" or something similar.
When you produce these bulk SMS, do you write just the link, or do you write the HTML code in the SMS?

How to get a DDE advise link working on a DDE server with more than one topic on the same service, and with an equal item name?

When I create a DDE server with serveral topics, all on the same service and with the same item name (different topic), it appears that an advise link does not function properly. It doesn't work at all, it update only when the advise link is terminated or only one of the topics can use an advise link.
eg.
On one DDE server I have 2 topics:
topic1:
servicename: DDEserver
topicname : C(1)
itemnames : P(1), P(2), P(3)
topic2:
servicename: DDEserver
topicname : C(2)
itemnames : P(1), P(2), P(3)
Only the topicnames differ!
Now I can't get an advise link working on one of the items (sometimes on one, but not
on another).
Normal (non-advise) links are working fine however.
(In my case there is no other solution since this DDEserver should be compatible with an older one, created earlier.)

I really don't know DDE very well. It is usually recommended that you switch to using ActiveX. You may not be correctly configuring the netDDE server. There is an example in the reource library that shows how to do this. You may also want to look at the DDE advise examples that came with LabVIEW 5.1 and earlier.

Link works in Flash 8 but it does not work in Dreamweaver

I made a Flash swf file which contains button and ball. When
I put mouse over the button, the ball jumps up.
And also I have managed to attach a link to the button using
action script.
Strange thing is the link works fine when I use test movie
with Flash 8 but when I insert it into Dreamweaver, although the
ball works fine with mouse over but the link does not work at all.
Can anybody tell me why?
Why it work with test movie in Flash 8 but not in Dreamwever.
Thank you very much in advance.

I have just solve my question myself.
In a Dreamweaver preview the link does not work but once the
page is published it works.
Thank you.

PDF links work in Acrobat - don't work in Reader

Acrobat version: 9.5.1 (latest as of this writing)
Reader version: 10.1.3 (latest as of this writing)
I createa Word doc that has links to UNC shares that look like this:
"\\server\share\file.exe"
I convert the file to a PDF through Acrobat File -> New.
When I open the PDF file in Acrobat, the link works, and the file is launched.
When I open the file in Reader, the link doesn't work, and this error message is presented:
Could not open file '/server/share/file.exe'
I'm guessing Reader is interpolating the link to be a relative path - I want to instruct it that this is an absolute link.
If it helps, the machine is running WinXP SP3 32bit.

Sandboxing has been implemented with Reader X which disables launch of any executables from within a PDF.
Thats why you are receiving this message which is expected.

After the Firefox update this week (Sept 7?) links from emails won't open. I get an error message. So I've temporarily set IE as my default browser, and the links work.

Hi everyone, I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have been very very frustrated by this problem. [I could not create new windows, and anything that opens new windows, such as trying to see what Add-ons you have etc would not work]. I read about changing screen alignment to the top... I have one screen so the option does not exist. The above messages would not fix this problem. I searched hard and did find a solution in the end. I read stuff about removing Add-ons until the problem is fixed, but its simply not the case.
First of all open Firefox. next go to options: Help --- 'Restart with Add-ons disabled'. Tick the box for add-ons, restart firefox. Next go to Tools --- Add-ons. Next (In the Add-ons Manager' click on 'Plugins' on the left hand side pane. Look for the small blue writing that says 'Check to see if your plugins are up to date'.
Now notice it should say 'Missing Flash'. "For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version". I followed this, reinstalled Flash and it now works as it always did, no problems. For people where the above fix didn't work, try this one out. Hope it helps people!

How can I hyperlink from FM to an external document and make the links work in PDF-XChange Viewer?

A couple of months ago some of you kindly taught me how to insert links to an external document in FrameMaker. The syntax that made all the difference, was the following:
message openfile "H:/folder name/to/your/file.ext"
I converted my FrameMaker file to PDF format using Acrobat Distiller, and everything worked like a charm when the users opened the resulting PDF document in Acrobat Reader.
Much to my frustration, someone has now decided that the organisation should use PDF-XChange Viewer instead of Acrobat Reader, and my links don't work anymore... Nothing happens when you click on them. (This only applies to links to external documents. Links to e.g. websites work nicely.)
Has anybody got any idea what I could do to make the links work in PDF-Xchange Viewer as well? Or am I trying to do the impossible now?
Best regards
Jorunn

Link works in Acrobat Std 8.0, Acrobat Reader 8.2, but not in Reader 9.0

Hi. I also posted this in the Acrobat site:. Perhaps this might be a more appropriate location?
Hello.
I faced a really strange thing today. I created a report PDF through Xcelsius. In this PDF, I have a Flash button which, when clicked, would link to an Excel (.xls) file within our LAN. The link works within Acrobat Standard 8.0 but not within Acrobat Reader 9.0. I have examined the preferences on both and they are identical (as far as I can see).
Details:
Software used: Xcelsius 2008 SP1
                       Acrobat Standard 8.0.0
                       Acrobat Reader 9.0
                       Acrobat Reader 8.2 (later)
Link address:   file://G:\Management\[sub-directory]\[sub-sub-directory]\[filename].xls
Any help at all will be welcomed and appreciated.
Thank you!
--- Update ---
I later uninstalled Reader 9.0 and reinstalled Reader 8.2 and the link worked in Reader 8.2. The link is a direct address and not a script. The file is opened in IE 7 as a spreadsheet with Macros attached. It is important for me that it works in both versions of Reader as there are several versions of Acrobat Reader deployed among our hospital -- Reader 7, 8, and 9.
Can someone help shed some light on this, please?

I think this is related to this other problem: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/567165?tstart=-1 . This has appeared with current releases of Acrobat, Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader. Adobe seems unresponsive. We started seeing it this week in conjunction with Excelsius 4.5. I have both Acrobat Pro 9.3 and Acrobat Reader 8 on my PC. Pro blows up when I open the .pdf created by Excelsius, but Reader does fine.

Link works on mac but not on pc

Hi -
I am trying to insert a jpg into a dreamweaver file.
I then upload the html file along with the jpg to my server in a folder called "layout"
So the url is: http://www.mysite.com/layout/test.html
The link works on mac, but not on pc's.
Any idea why?
Some links work on pc's like this, and others don't.
Thanks- It's driving me crazy!!

The link is not correct....you have it listed as" mysite.com", which I assume is where you are to insert the name of your url.

I created a word document with hyperlinks. When my default browser is Chrome the hyper links work. When the default browser is Safari, the hyperlinks bring to pages that just lines and lines of symbols. I need these links to work in both browsers.

version 10.6.8

When I link to an external site, the link does not work, if I right click "Open in new tab" the link works.

When I link to an external site, the link does not work, if I right click "Open in new tab" the link works.

I have not changed any of my preferences and they look like they are as I would have left them.
I tried resetting Firefox and deleting the preference file, no change.
By the way, I hate that the tabs are on top and not where they belong above the pages they are for. There should still be a way in Firefox to put them back without having to use an add-in.

Links work in iweb, but do not publish

NOW the "post new topic" shows! Links made in iweb to external webpages work in iweb, but do not work when I publish to my folder or upload them to my server for my website. The links to other pages within iweb & the email links work in my folder & uploaded. I have redone my page & all links several times & it always works in iweb, but then don't work in the folder when I publish or upload. Even links that start with http:// don't work & my setting are correct for it to recognize them. Thanks so much for any help.

I don't understand. When I made the page the first time, I put the pics on it (page is 1270 pixels wide & fits on my 17" monitor & displays fine in iweb & when I go to the website). & then made the text boxes & sized them to fit around the pics & typed the text in. I tried doing the "wrap" in inspector, but the type just went over the pics & didn't wrap around it. I put the links for the ffrco, nuvet, email & menu in separate "insert link" boxes. The other links were from a copy & paste from the Nuvet website. All links worked perfect while in iweb. but only the email & menu links worked when I published to the folder & uploaded them. iweb is way different to use than Pagemill3, which is what I created my original website on 6 1/2 years ago. But my first computer melted down inside & I don't have the program that created it & the new computer won't take the software that worked on OS 8.6, so have to do the whole website now from scratch & having a terrible time. There are other issues, but the links thing is the most frustrating.
When I redid the page again, I copied & pasted the whole page onto a new page that I had sized & added the background to. The links all worked in iweb & when they didn't work when published to the folder or uploaded, I rechecked the web addresses for all the links & even reentered them, though they were the correct links already in there.
When I made my homepage, I made it to fit a 15" monitor, so anybody could see my website without scrolling. A good friend told me I had the last 15" monitor still in use & to make it fit my 17", so I did.
Thanks so much for looking at it. I really appreciate all your help. I have printed the manuel & been reading that & going to the Help section & I just can't figure it out.

Links work in iWeb but not on web

I created a site (http://www.busybeetrader.com) in iWeb 1.2.2 and uploaded using Cyberduck FTP software. The links work in iWeb when I un-check the option to make them inactive. Once I upload my site, several of the links don't work. This has occurred multiple times.
I am also having problems with missing links to files. I open iWeb and get an error list of missing links. It includes pictures and PDF documents, mostly under the blog sections (Editorials).
Any help any one can give me would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hyper links work in i-web but when site is published it does not....HELP!!

Hi group. I am fairly new to I-web and I mus tsay I love the program. It cam with my new I-mac and this is my first mac as I am a "swticher" from the PC days!! I was surprised that the mac came with such a good program as -i-web. Anyway....
Ok, I deleted the automatic navigation bar, as I wanted to create one using text hyperlinks. In the design mode in i-web, All my links work properly and navagate me from page to page. However once the site is published the links do not work, expect the contact link for sending and e-mail. Not sure why this is happening.
I even choose "publish entire site" to refresh everything and still nothing. Here is the site so maybe you have an idea
www.visionmusiconline.com
Any help would be appreciated.
Dave

The most obvious answer would be that the text is being covered by the graphic.
For a quick fix, you could try bringing the text to the front, publish to a local folder and launch the site from your hard drive to test it by double clicking the index.html file.
Try building your graphic and then taking a screenshot of it as described here....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Tricks/PhotoMagic.html
Drag the JPEG onto the page and then drop the text boxes with the link text on top.
