Why text and button links on a PDF do not work in the iPad
I have Acrobat Pro 9.2.3 and InDesign CS5.
I've tried creating both button and text links directly from InDesign (Window > Interactive > Hyperlinks). I then export the multi-page PDF with "Acrobat 6 and Above" selected as well as the "Hyperlinks" and "Interactive Elements" checked. When I open the PDF in my iPad, none of the text or button links work.
Then . . .
I tried opening the same multi-page PDF in Acrobat Pro, and manually created the link boxes (Tools > Advanced Editing > Link Tool). The iPad still can't interprete these two interactive elements.
Any clues what I'm doing wrong?
Try exporting as ePub - now test inside Digital Editions and if OK - drag the file into iTunes and synch to iPhone/iPad.
It's probably a Preview issue as mentioned but exporting to ePub is good fun!

Hey everyone out there that is smarter than me. I have made this little prototype video player, and it isn't working. It'll eventually become a nice little player show videos from our summer camp for the last few years, but first I want to make it work in a basic stripped down version.
There is a playback component with one of the skins right above the three buttons.
Here's the ActionScript:
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, vid1);
btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, vid2);
btn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, vid3);
function vid1(e:Event):void{
vidPlayer.source = "Video1.flv"
function vid2(e:Event):void{
vidPlayer.source = "Video2.flv"
function vid3(e:Event):void{
vidPlayer.source = "Video3.flv"
It runs fine when I test in in flash and even the .swf file runs fine alone, but when I put it in a .html file via Dreamweaver and in the published .html it doesn't run. What up?Oh yeah, all the files are in the same directory.

Brand new 15" MacBook Pro Retina - unplugged from Thunderbolt Display and Keyboards today find keyboard alpha-numerics not working; except the function keys, delete key, tab key, command/ctrl/shift/alt/fn and arrow keys; and 7/8/9/u/o/j/l produce cursor nudges.
It's a new machine - and the Thunderbolt Display is meant to work with it. You need to just make an appointment at your local Apple Store and have them fix whatever is wrong.
If you like, you could always try a SMC reset and a PRAM/NVRAM reset to see if either of those will get your keyboard back in working order...

Why is my lightning sd card reader not working on my iPad mini since I updated to ios7. It worked perfectly well before upgrade.
Try rebooting your iPad: Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.
Is the lightning kit you use an Apple kit or aftermarket? If it is Apple and after rebooting it does not work, return it to an pple Store and they will replace it. -
Imbedded link to downloadable .PDF file not working in Safari
Two questions:
I imbedded a text link that is supposed to download a .PDF file from my iDisk. However, when I click the text link from my Safari browser I get this error message:
"“A network error occurred while accessing this document on the Internet. Would you like to close the document or reload it?”
When I retry by pasting my iWeb published page into Mozilla, the linked file downloads quickly with no problem. However, when I paste it into Internet Explorer's browser, it takes about 4 minutes to download!
Second question: I can't seem to link an image that I inserted on a "My Photos" template page. There is no way to select the image--when I do, it just shows the "blue box" around the image but it doesn't actually select the image itself so I can link it.
I was able to link images in my .Mac pages so I don't know why I can't on iWeb.
If anyone wants to try it, here is the link to that page. ONLY CLICK ON THE BERMUDA AMEX TRAVEL PLANNER TEXT as that is the only link I've imbedded thus far. This page is obviously still under construction.

This is correct, you cannot make the image holders hyperlinks. The solution is to put a Shape over the top of the image that you want to be a link, then Opn Inspector, Graphic Link and make the Opacity 1%, no more no less. Then make this shape a link. Beware that this image will still display in a slideshow and if you insert more images and it moves, the shape will not move with it.
You may also want to click on the shape and then go Arrange > Bring to Front.

Links to embedded pdf files not working in iOS reader
I have created a pdf document that links to a variety of embedded pdf files.
When I open this file in the iOS reader on my iPad 3, the links are not active. All of the embedded files are listed in the attachments list, but the links themselves do not launch the attachments.
Please help!
Thank youWe only support internal and http links in the current reader,not including links to attachments. However, PDF attachments should be open-able using the attachments button (bottom right). It should also work for password protected documents. If it does not, please share a sample file with us at [email protected] so we can investigate.
Thanks!

MS Word 2010 to PDF, links to other PDF's not working
I've go a Word .docx in which I've created hyperlinks to existing PDF's. The hyperlinks work within the .docx.
When I save to PDF and attempt the hyperlink I get the following message... "This document is trying to connect to:" and it lists the hyperlink in not exactly how I specified it. Even if I click "Remember this action" and Allow the hyperlink does not work
The hyperlinks in the TOC work... and links to emails or websites work... just not the ones to the PDF's
Thoughts?
Thanks
MikeAdobe Reader 10.1.2 cannot convert DOC files to PDFs. You will need Adobe Acrobat to do this.
Save As > Adobe PDF feature is using Microsoft's PDF converter. You may need to follow up with them regarding the same. -

I have activated the passcode lock on my iPad sometimes ago and now I foregot it, I entered several passcode but non was correct, now the iPad nis disabled and would not connect to the iTunes. what can be done to unlock my iPad?
If you've forgotten the passcode then you will need to connect the iPad to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808

Find Text and create link to other PDF
Hi all,
I need to know if the following is possible with either Javascript or VBA..
- Open a PDF
- Find all text that starts by a specific set of character (let's say in this case '1M-')
- For each text found, Select the entire word (not just 1M-) and..
-Highlight it or change its color
- create a link to an other PDF. (the other PDF will have the name of the selected text).
- Save the PDF and close it.
I already started using VBA, but I'm not a 'expert' programmer.
Thanks
MarcWould it be possible only with VB/VBA ?
Just so I get this straight. When it's Javascript.. is it internal to a PDF file or it could be Javascript in a HTML page ?
If it's in the HTML page only, can I do everything in Javascript ?
I'm sorry for those question but I'm really not a pro in programming.. I'm more on the mechanical side and just want to help my company to get a better product .
Thanks

It has worked fine until recently. Now at less than 100%, the first page is reduced normally but pages 2 etc seem to be not reduced and pushed up and off the upper right of the page with header and page text completely missing on top and entire right of page. What happened? It is doing this on multiple web pages. No problem printing in any other program. Safari doesn't have scaling so I can't check that. It has been going on for several weeks and it is very irritating, and a waste of paper.
Usually, where there are issues like that, it has to do with incompatible programs that may be loaded at system startup. So, in System Preferences, look at your login ID, and login items, and see if any programs listed there should be updated to run with Snow Leopard. While in System Preferences, look at the bottom of the window where you may find some programs listed also. Check them too.
On your scanner, HP changed the way the scanners work under Snow Leopard. See this HP document: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01846935&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en &os=219&product=3739150&sw_lang=#N377 . Scroll down and click the scanning twistie. -

Firefox did an automatic update to 6.01, and now my middle mouse button is not working in the browser. It doesn't close tabs, it doesn't open new tabs by middle clicking a link, it doesn't allow me to middle click to scroll the page..
[BUG FIXED, see "EDIT 2" at the end of my post]
I'm on Firefox 3.6.21, and I got this problem today after a Greasemonkey update (To version 0.9.10, apparently).
Disabling Greasemonkey solved the problem, and re-enabling it reproduced the problem (middle-clicking links to open in new tab did not work, merely highlighted the link).
I should also note that while Greasemonkey was enabled and the bug was affecting me, Ctrl+Click to open links in new tabs was also broken.
I hope this helps!
EDIT: It appears this is a known incompatibility/conflict bug between current versions of Greasemonkey and Tab Mix Plus. Read more here:
https://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/issues/1406
EDIT 2: GREASEMONKEY HAS NOW BEEN UPDATED with a workaround to fix the problem. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/versions/ to install the update manually. It hasn't been reviewed by Mozilla yet, so it won't be an automatic update for another day or two. All credit to "cannonfodder" below for noticing this; please mark his post as helpful! -
How do I stop an unwanted pop-up, "Click on Sign to add text and place signature on a PDF File"?
Whenever I open a PDF using Adobe Reader X, a pop-up appears at the upper right-hand corner of the document display window that says "Click on Sign to add text and place signature on a PDf file".
Is there some way that I can stop this pop-up from appearing everytime I open a PDF?
Thanks.Click on "Sign" so that the Sign pane opens and leave it open for a few seconds. It wont re-appear if you re-launch Reader now.
