Word 2010 to PDF hyperlink opens browser for local file...

Recently upgraded to Office 2010.  I used the Save As .pdf option in Word 2010 for a file that contains a hyperlink to a local pdf file. When I open the saved pdf file with Acrobat Reader and click on the link, my default browser starts up to display the local file. I have tried using different versions of Acrobat Reader, different operating systems, and all kinds of options, but can't figure out why this is happening. I think it's a bug in Word 2010, but can't find any information about this on the web.
Does anyone have any clues?

OK, replying to my own post, I did just find a Workaround
that's only a few extra steps.....
After all edits and changes were completed in the Word file, I printed to PDF from Word,
creating a Rev A file. Once that was done and a new pdf was created, I opened the
Original File and selected "Combine" from the "File" pull down menu.
With both of the files in the same PDF document, I deleted all the pages from the
Original file. Page one of the Rev A file is now p. 1 of the "combined" file,
and all the PDF bookmarks (still there from the Original File) line up in the right
sequence. The bookmarks (produced by "Saving to PDF" with Headings 1 and 2,
when the original PDF was made) need to be re-linked to the pages in the Rev A
file, but that's quicker than starting from scratch.
Not really very elegant, but it worked. I'd be curious to know what's wrong with the
PDF files saved with bookmarks in WORD, because that happens EVERY time.
I have Acrobat Pro Extended, iteration 9.5.1

    Word documents don't have a fixed page layout; Word reflows freely if it wants. This isn't normally a problem unless things like typing page numbers is done; avoid that.

  • Browsing for a file and selecting a Virtual Machine on hyper-v

    Hi everyone, sorry if the title is a bit problematic.
    New to Powershell here, I'm trying to create a script that will let me Browse for a .vhd file, and then let me select a Virtual Machine to attach it to using SCSI attachment.
    So far I managed to attach and detach the VHD files using add-vmharddiskdrive, but using read-host I have to manually enter the address of the .vhd file every time, as well as using read-host to input the VM name.
    Is there any way to browse for the file, select it, and then run the add-vmharddiskdrive command?
    So far the script I have is this:
    $VHDLocation = Read-Host Enter VHD Location
    $VMName = Read-Host Enter VM Name
    Add-VMHardDiskDrive -VMName $VMName -Path $VHDLocation -ControllerType SCSI
    Basically I want to shorten the time it takes to manually type the vhd location and the VM name. Any way to do that?
    Sorry for long post, thanks everyone in advance, have a nice day :)

    I couldn't get the Select-fromgridview to work sadly, but after snooping around on several different forums I managed to copy-paste some codes and after some work and trial and error I got the script to work perfectly, except for one problem. When the box
    pops up to let met select a VM, it pops in the background, as in, behind the ISE itself. So I have to alt tab to see it. Is there any way to make it pop to the front?
    I'd go through the script myself but like I said I'm very new to this and honestly most of this could be Chinese for all I know.
    Again thanks in advance!

  • ITunes crashes while browsing for .ipsw files?

    Hello,
    I have been trying to update my iOS for my iPod touch 4g and iPhone 4 to 5.0 for quite some time.  My first issue was that the connection would fail or timeout every time no matter what (I'm in a country with slow internet at the moment; no way to change that), so I solved that by downloading the .ipsw files online for the respective products. Now that I have them, when I hold shift and click restore or update (i have windows 7) to browse for the files, iTunes stops working.
    the situation with it was: appcrash  objc.dll
    I've uninstalled everything apple related from my computer and re-installed it, and still no success. Short of sending to back the states, does anyone know what I could do to update my iProducts?
    Thank you.

  • Plain user and systemd: dependency failed for local file system

    I tried to switch to systemd, but ended up in a maintenance console (Enter root password or Ctrl-D to continue):
    Enter password.
    journalctl -b as suggested yields "Dependency failed for local file system".
    I couldn't find a systemd troubleshooting page in the Wiki. So, can someone point me to such a page? Anyone willing to give some hints?
    What I did so far: Did what https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd tells one should do to switch to systemd.
    In the boot menu pressed e, moved one down to the line starting with "kernel", pressed e again, and appended init=/bin/systemd.
    Somewhere I read that "mkinitcpio -p linux" should be issued to make systemd work. No (positive) effects.
    Paul
    P.S.: Shouldn't there be a topic "systemd" in "Pacman Upgrades, Packaging & AUR"?

    According to the wiki you are supposed to append init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd if you are using the "Mixed systemd/sysvinit/initscripts installation" mode.  In all other configurations you should NOT have an init=.... entry since init becomes a symlink to systemd
    As far as I know, the init= entry doesn't hurt anything - it just isn't necessary.
    EDIT: Of course, it will hurt if the path was wrong...
    Also, at least on my system, /bin/systemd symlinks to /usr/lib/systemd/systemd.

  • Hyperlinks in Outlook 2010 emails do not open browser

    I have 2 PCs with nearly identical software configurations except for the OS.
    One PC uses Windows 7 Ultimate x64, the other uses Windows 7 Home Premium x64.
    Both have Office Professional Plus 2010 and Norton Security Suite 4 installed.
    Both PCs have all available updates installed.
    My problem is with hyperlinks contained in emals received into Outlook 2010.
    On the Ultimate system, the hyperlinks work properly, that is, clicking a hyperlink opens a browser window, as expected.
    On the Home Premium system, the hyperlinks don't work at all correctly.
    The first time any hyperlink is clicked, a message box titled "Windows" pops up with the following content:
      Windows can't open this file.
      File:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=LO2eh6f5Go0
      To open this file, Windows needs to know what program you want to use to open it.
      Windows can go online to look it up automatically or you can manually select from a list of programs that are installed on your computer.
      What do you want to do?
      The first option button is labeled "Use the web service to find the correct program."
      The second option button is labeled "Select a program from a list of installed programs."
    If I select the first option, nothing appears to happen.
    If I select the second, I get a pop up with a list of apps.  I select Internet Explorer. check the box labeled "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file", click OK and the browser opens.
    However, if I go back to the same email and click the same hyperlink during the Outlook session, a window pops up asking me to confirm that I want to open the link using IE.
    If I click on any other hyperlink, in the same email or any other email, I get the first pop up "Windows needs to know what program..."
    I didn't see any Outlook settings that would affect this behavior.
    Any clues about what needs to be done to fix this very annoying behavior?

    Hi,
    First, please check if you can open other URL in the email, such as
    http://www.microsoft.com.
    Based on the current situation, the file should be played by Media Player. Now let’s try to set Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player as the default program:
    ===========
    1.      
    In a window of Internet Explorer, click
    Tools > Internet Options.
    2.      
    Click the
    Programs tab, under Internet programs, click the
    Set Programs button.
    3.      
    Click
    Set your default program.
    4.      
    Click on
    Internet Explorer, click Set this program as default, and click the
    OK button.
    5.      
    Click on
    Windows Media Player, click Set this program as default, and click the
    OK button.
    6.      
    Reboot the computer and check the results again.
    Please take your time to try the suggestions and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. If anything is unclear or if there is anything I can do for
    you, please feel free to let me know.

  • Hyperlink a word in one pdf to open another pdf on a mac?

    Hi, I have been trying to find a program or app on my mac that will enable me to click on a word in one pdf file from my documents which would then open another pdf file in my documents.  I can't seem to be able to do it on preview via the hyperlink or adobe reader, can anyone help? I assume this would be easy to do on Acrobat X Pro? Any alternative (cheaper/free!) options would be great.
    Thank you!

    With Adobe Acrobat you can add links.

Any alternative (cheaper/free!) options would be great.

    You can insert hyper-links in PDFs in Preview by clicking on Tools > Annotate > Add Link. The key is to point the link at the local file. The link should start with "file://" followed by the complete path to the file you want to open (e.g.: /Users/Your_Account/Documents/whatsitsname.pdf). In other words, the complete link will be: "file:///Users/Your_Account/Documents/whatsitsname.pdf".

  • Word 2010 Network Path Hyperlinks change to Local C Drive

    Hi,
    I am having issues with Microsoft Word documents that have links in it to other documents. I'm not sure why but these hyperlinks change from their UNC path to a C path. For example
    \\server\folder\document.pdf
    would change to
    C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\folder\document.pdf
    This happens to all links on that document. We have hundreds of documents and finding that they are doing this randomly which means all links need to be created again. We did not have this issue using Word 2003, or Word 2007. This has happened since upgrading
    to 2010 a few months ago.
    All the documents have been created years ago in Word 2003.
    I have looked everywhere and realize there are other topics similar however no answer has been found.
    Hopefully someone can help

    Hi Dave,
    This behavior is because that the link by default is saved as
    Relative Link, with relative link used, we are able to move the documents to wherever we need, and still keep the link works. As the disadvantageous, the link will no longer work if we actually need the link to be an absolut link.
    This especially happens when the linked document is saved in the same folder.
    To avoid such issue, we need to modify the following setting to use absolute link instead of relative links.
    To do this, use the following method.
    On the File menu, click Options.  
    Click Advanced.  
    Under General, click Web Options.  
    Click the Files tab.  
    Click to clear the Update links on save check box.  
    Click OK two times.
    For enterprise environment, we can modify the setting for multiple machines using group policy:
    Microsoft Office 2010 --> Tools |Options | General | Web Options... --> Files  --> Update links on save

  • Image not printing from Word 2010 to .pdf

    I have been successfully printing Word docs that contain my letterhead logo to .pdfs for a long time.  But right after I installed both Word 2010 and Acrobat Professional 9.4.1, the logo would get cut off when printing.
    I tried a lot of different settings, but just found that if instead of using the .pdf printer I simply "save as" the file as a .pdf, the entire logo prints fine.
    I just wanted to share this workaround solution in case others run into this problem.  Meanwhile, does anyone know why this might be happening?

  • Acrobat X Pro - Word 2010 to pdf files

    I just bought AcrobatX to create high quality pdf files from Word2010 files in WIndows 7.
    Unfortunately when I do create them from inside Word using the Acrobat tab, the program crashes!
    However, if I print the same files using  the  Adobe printer, the pdf files are generated. I do not know, however, if the output quality is the same (I select the "press quality" job option).
    Could anyone please clarify this issue? I did buy this software just to obtain pdf files with the highest quality possible (press quality) but it seems it is not what I got.
    Thanks
    Edmundo 

    Hi,
    Thanks again! I have just done what you suggested - no way! Even with everything off, it crahes!
    I will follow your advise  of printing using the Acrobat printer. Yet I face now a new problem!! Some of the figures doesnot show up at all!
    >>>you could post it here for us to take a look
    Please download an example of a Word (2010) file that crashes from here:
    https://www.yousendit.com/download/cEd0ckhhV3JCSnBFQlE9PQ
    In the zip it is also a pdf created by using the Adobe printer. Please take a look at Fig-4-2. It is of bad quality! Any suggestions to improve it? I got just a few (out o a few hundreds)  that bad!.
    I insert figures (made by CorelDraw and exported as WMF) in Word as Insert, Pictures.
    MANY THANKS for you valuable help

  • Acrobat Pro XI V11.0.2 - Word 2010 to PDF conversion fails to generate header text

    Hello,
    Following the recent update to V11.0.2, the Acrobat PDF converter for Word 2010 fails to generate the output document correctly. It misses out the text box part of the Word header.
    However, using Acrobat XI via the "Print to PDF printer" appears to generate the output file correctly.
    System is Windows XP-SP3 with Office 2010 (and all current updates), plus Acrobat Pro V11.0.2
    Example Word source and resulting PDF are available, if anyone can figure out how to use this web interface to post examples.
    Colin Butcher.

    Hello,
    No, there is no change in behaviour on my Windows XP machines, nor would I expect there to be given that there has been no change until V11.0.3 was released.
    Given that you’ve reproduced the problem, albeit on a different machine, it seems reasonable to assume that the problem is related to Acrobat. If you can reproduce the behaviour, then you should be able to fix it.
    The problem still exists with V11.0.3. I look forward to it being resolved shortly.

  • Microsoft Word 2010 Hiding/Removing the Navigation Pane for Roaming Profiles

    Hello all,
       I am attempting to do what the title says.  We are using Citrix Profile Manager...basically roaming profiles and when updating the Office version to 2010,  users are displayed the Navigation Pane.  If the NavPane is closed,
    when they reopen their Citrix session it is back to default displaying the NavPane.  Any help on getting this removed would be greatly appreciated.
    I have so far attempted to create a macro Normal.dotm and works partially, however it is not consistent as each time it appears that the modified Normal.dotm becomes overwritten with a default one.  I have also added this modified Normal.dotm to the
    Default user profile locally on the server...to which it does not seem to pull.
    Update: 
    I am currently looking to see on how to redirect the Normal.dotm away from %appdata%\microsoft\templates to a central location and have this applied to all users either user GPO or a per machine setup....but can't find anything specifically for Word 2010
    configuration.  Any help on this would also be beneficial.

    Regarding the Navigation Pane.  The setting for displaying it is indeed in the Windows Registry but it is part of a binary data key and thus mere mortals like us are not able to change it. You need a macro... see this link for an example.
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/bb6268ac-546b-4118-87fa-21f6fd2cecbc/word-navigation-pane-open-by-default
    Regarding changing the location of Word's Normal template via GPO it can be done. See below link. However, as is pointed out in the link, the recommendation is not to do so. If the central location server is down, no one will be able to create documents.
    In addition, if someone accidentally or purposely alters/corrupts the Normal template... everyone is effected.
