MS Word mailto hyperlink headaches

Ive got about 100 customer supplied PDFs made from MS Word using the plug-in with about 50 hyperlinks each, some http others mailto. When you roll-over the mailto links you get the finger cursor, not the arrow-w cursor. On some machines, clicking the mailto link will spawn an Internet Explorer window with an Action or Navigation Canceled message followed by two Outlook email message forms. If Internet Explorer is already open you simply get one Outlook email form and no extraneous browser windows. On other machines the mailto links work normally that is, one email form and no browser window regardless of Internet Explorer being open or not. Out of 4 machines I have here locally in the office, 3 initially exhibited the problem, one did not. Our client has tested 4 machines at their site, all four exhibit the problem. After an entire day of testing locally to find out why some machines work and other dont suddenly two of the machines that initially exhibited the problem joined the one that did not, for absolutely no reason, none of the settings have been changed.
We can fix the PDF documents so that they work with 100% consistency simply opening the document in Acrobat and selecting Create Links from URLs is enough to over-write all of the hyperlinks with Acrobat code. Once that has been done, rolling-over the mailto links produces the arrow-w cursor and clicking the link only spawns one email form, never a browser window, every machine. The only minor downside to this approach is that the links are now subject to Acrobats annoying security warning This document is about to connect to the internet (well, duh, an email link was just clicked). Youd think problem solved and we can just move on, but no, the boss is obsessed with figuring out why some machines work with MS Word encoded hyperlinks, others dont, and some switch without warning or cause.
Just FYI: this problem does not appear to be version specific for any of the applications involved. Ive tried just about every imaginable combination of: Word 2003, 2007, Outlook 2000, 2003, 2007, Acrobat Reader & Pro 7 & 8, IE 6 & 7 and heres something curious: four of the documents were created with QuarkXpress on the Mac, they behave just like the Word docs.

The original documents were customer supplied so Im not sure what options were engaged, however, we were able to reproduce the problem internally and discovered the following:
If the link option is turned off in the PDF Maker preference, Word encoded hyperlinks still pass through to the completed PDF. These links work as described above, finger cursor on rollover, browser launch + 2 email forms on click if IE is closed, 1 email form if IE is already open, Acrobat internet security warning bypassed.
If the link option is turned on all links are Acrobat encoded, arrow-w cursor on rollover, 1 email form on click, no sensitivity to IE status, Acrobat internet security warning displays.
Based on the above observations, it looks like the link option was off when these PDFs were created and all hyperlink activity is from the Word encoding, not Acrobat but I have a hard time explaining why the four documents created in Quark work just like the ones in word, as far as I know Quark does not automatically encode URLs.

Using PDF Pack to convert a .docx document containing internal hyperlinks

I just used PDF Pack to convert a .docx document to pdf format. The document contained a hyperlink to a bookmark within the document. The text converted OK, and the hyperlinked text was underlined, but not active. Clicking on the hyperlinked text did nothing. It seems that internal hyperlinks don’t convert using this software.
Thanks for any advice
David

Hi,
When you export your PDF file to Word file please select .doc format option rather than docx format for MS Word.
Thank you.

How to return to a document-intern hyperlink with adobe reader x?

A well structured WORD document contains a lot of internal hyperlinks. They survive within the equivalent PDF-Dokument. Therein it es quite easy to follow the links by clicking onto them. But there seams to be no possibility to return to the source position of the specific hyperlink. I'm sorry that I found no help until now.

How can I create an internal hyperlink in iWeb? Would like to put an interactive menu at the top of a page.

How can I create an internal hyperlink in iWeb? Would like to put an interactive menu at the top of a page.

Do you meant a link to one of your other pages or to a location on one of your pages? If it's the latter those are called anchors and iWeb does not support them. However, there are workarounds for that. See this blog: How to use anchors in iWeb. If you don't have a lot of widgets on the page it can work fairly well.

Mac Word 2008 - hyperlink message "Word cannot open the specified file"

I'm using WordMac 2008 version 12.2.5 and after following detailed instructions on how to hyperlink chapters in a Table of Contents to their respective chapters in a book, I can only get the message "Word cannot open the specified file".
Any ideas what could be wrong?
My OSX is 10.5.1.
The instructions I followed are pasted below and are copied from the Smashwords Style Guide: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/52
START OF PASTE FROM SMASHWORDS STYLE GUIDE:
How to create a linked Table of Contents. Consider this feature in “beta.” My
thanks to Smashwords author Cheryl Anne Gardner for sharing these tips below,
which I have augmented based on my own experience adding a ToC to the Style
Guide (woo hoo!).
By adding a linked table of contents, you can help readers navigate your
document. This is especially useful for non-fiction. Most fiction doesn’t
need it. If you follow the instructions below, the ToC should work in your
EPUB, MOBI and PDF files, but it will not work in our other formats.
First, create your table of contents where you want it by typing it out. Make
sure the text is normalized just like the rest of your Smashwords’ Word
document. Example:
Contents
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3
Chapter 4
Etc.
Next, we are going to create the BookMarks. In Word 2000, 2003 and 2007, the
Booksmark function is under the Insert tab. Go through your document, and at
each Chapter Start or Indexed item, you will highlight it and then select
Insert: bookmark. Name your bookmark corresponding to the Chapter/Indexed
item and then click add. It’s very important to use the first word of your
heading you’re linking to, because later on, when you add the hyperlinks,
Word displays the bookmark shortcuts in alphabetical order. With many
bookmarks, I found many of my bookmarks weren’t labeled properly, so it was
tough to link to the correct bookmark. If you want to link to a chapter named
How to Publish Ebooks, I’d recommend naming your bookmark
“HowToPublishEbooks” to make it easy to locate. If you instead name it,
“publishebooks,” you’ll frazzle your brain and make mistakes.
Repeat the process above for every Chapter Start as well as for other matter
in the book like index, bibliography, epilogue, prologue, etc. I didn’t link
to every section in the Style Guide, because otherwise the ToC would have
been three pages long. This is your call.
Next, return to your table of contents and highlight the word “Contents.”
Click insert, bookmark, and label this last bookmark “Contents”. Formatting
note: Bookmarks cannot have spaces or odd characters. If instead of
“Contents” you called the label in the document Table of Contents, as I did,
then when you insert the bookmark, name the bookmark “TableofContents,” one
word, or “toc.”
Next, add the hyperlinks to your Chapter Starts. In your table of contents,
if Chapter 1 is called Chapter 1, then highlight Chapter 1 and then click
insert Hyperlink. As you can see in the Style Guide, I tried to use more
descriptive labels. In Word’s Hyperlink menu on the left hand side, select
“Place in this document.” You will now see your bookmarks listed in the main
window. Select Chapter1 bookmark (or whatever you labeled it) and then click
ok. Do this procedure for every chapter and piece of matter in the table of
contents.
Final step. Now you can link back to the Table of contents. Move through your
document to each indexed item or Chapter start and highlight it. Then click
insert, hyperlink, and then select “Place in this document.” When the
bookmarks are showing in the main window, select the bookmark labeled
“Contents,” assuming that’s what you named your Table of Contents. Do this
for each and every chapter and or indexed item.
After you are done, all your links will be underlined. You will need to test
and make sure you linked everything properly. In most Word versions, you just
click on the hyperlink to test. In Word 2007, you may need to Ctrl-Click each
hyperlink and make sure it takes you where you need to go in the document.
Advice: Word has an automatic ToC generation feature under the reference tab.
Do not use this. It uses automated headings and formatting to generate the
ToC and this will un-normalize your text and cause font conversion issues in
your Smashwords files.
END OF PASTE FROM SMASHWORDS STYLE GUIDE.
I did all that as described but I still get the message "Word cannot open the specified file".
Could you help please?

This question would be better addressed to...

I think the operative phrase from that article is...

Word 2007 hyperlinks not showing up in converted PDF

Using Acrobat Standard (Windows) 9.5.2:
My Word 2007 hyperlinks not showing up in converted PDFs. This, even though I've got the Preferences set correctly (I believe -- see screenshot).
Please help!

Hi David,
I was printing directly to the Adobe PDF Printer. This is how I've always done it (for years). It always worked before.
I forgot all about going to the ribbon and attempting it that way — it worked!
Thanks very much for bringing this to my attention.
(I wonder why printing directly to the Adobe PDF Printer doesn't work…?)
Thanks again!

Internal hyperlinks only work aftger refressing the page with Firefox 16.0.2.

Using JIRA we can not focus on the internal hyperlink until the page has fully displayed. Once the page loaded then a refresh is required to jump to the link. Other browsers IE8, IE9 and Chrome work with out issue.

Convert Excel documents with internal hyperlinks.

Yes, I can. But not with Adobe Reader.

Back button for internal hyperlinks?

I've created internal hyperlinks with IBA (to other chapters in the text) and for the most part, they work. But there is no back button? Help! And thanks!

true, IBA books do not have a back better, per se. However, tap on the bookmark icon and you will see a section called "Recenlty viewed". It can be used to navigate back after a user taps on an internal link.

Inactive internal Hyperlinks

I publish my portfolio to my desktop then to a hosting site, all the images on the home page are internal hyperlinks but non of them work:
www.ollystjohn.co.uk
still getting use to the software and anything web based so a simple response would be appriciated!!!
cheers!

<div style="height: 739px; line-height: 739px; " class="spacer"> </div>
This line of code is still covering the page.
I don't know what element is "doing this job" but it still prevents your links from working.

Internal Hyperlinks

I would like to see the hyperlink feature expanded similiar to how MS OneNote is now working. I would like to be able to internally link parts of my project together with hyperlinks and not necessarily external URLs.
For example, in my project I have a character named Bob. I make a detailed character bio for Bob in my project. The first time (or evertime I want) Bob is introduced in my script, I'd like to see that as an internal hyperlink to Bob's Character Bio page.
Another example, say I'm writing, shooting, driecting the whole shabang, and the shot sequence is flooding my imagination. It's currently frowned upon to put the shot sequences in the script, but you don't want to loose the creative moment as your mind's eye sees it. I'd like to be able to create a new "Shot Sequence" in the project section and hyperlink that to my Scene Heading (or anywhere else it floats my boat).
Not just being able to create a new shot sequence in my project, but ANY NUMBER OF THINGS--such as a music sequence, lighting instructions, notes on the mood/emotion of the shot, etc.... I guess the notes could work for some short one-liners, but if you have a 3-page shot sequence for a chase scene, you don't want to put that in the note section.

In a production meeting for my experimental short I am working on using Story, I was discussing the idea of adding images as a sort of tag to the script for me to link location photos in to the script for my DP and other crew to get ideas from. My assistant brought up several other uses that might be great to have like links to exterior web sites for costuming details, location photos and even links to other movies I can refer to inside the script. While I simply thought dropping an internal link to the images was a great idea I can see dozens of reasons to allow a metadata tag that is a link to external web based pages.
In fact, I could create a special web site to hold specific images for props, costumes, etc onm my own and link to that page in Story if Hyperlinks were added.
This is another great idea.

Internal Hyperlinks and licences

Hi
We us ES4 produce PDFs and would like to have internal hyperlinks - eg: click on a heading in the contents page and it takes you to the relevant page.
We've been told by a contractor that we can do this but would need to upgrade our licence to do it. We currently have the "Output" licence. Does anyone know what licence we'd need to do this - or preferably, if there's a way to do the internal hyperlinks on our current licence?
Thanks
Dan

Hi Dan
Have a look at this approach Adobe LiveCycle Designer Cookbooks by BR001: Using the Doc.scroll method in a LiveCycle Designer Form
I'm not sure what you mean by license as this is just part of LiveCycle Designer and the scripting it supports.

Internal hyperlinks within Apple Mail

Does anyone know how to create internal hyperlinks within Apple Mail?
For instance, I want to put something like "contents" at the start of an email where I can click on the title
Content 1
Content 2
Content 3
to bring me to the paragraphs below
Content 1
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
Content 2
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
Content 3
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
Thanks! Much appreciated.

I think you would probably have to create an HTML page with anchors and then "share" that via e-mail. While HTML does support this, and Apple Mail supports HTML e-mail, such a thing was never intended. Modern e-mail is big hack-job. It is unlikely that such an e-mail message would really work in practice the way you expect.

Downloaded an app and now my safari keeps popping up with ads and words are hyperlinked on webpages. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi,
I was downloading Skype for mac last night, and now my safari isn't working correctly (has a lot of popups and and words are hyperlinked on my webpages I pull up now. I think I have the 'DownLite' trojan but I am unsure of how to get rid of it. I saw a post in March that Linc helped with describing how to fix it, but unfortunately, it didn't work for me (because I think mine is in a different folder but am unsure how to find it). I have the UNIX shell script diagnostic scan if needed. Can anyone help me get rid of this?? Thank you for your help!
