How to create a pdf file in Indesign with 40 hyperlinks file so it can be used on different computers?

I create a document in Indesign CS4, which is to be exported to pdf format.

In this one page document, there are about 40 products listed, one after the other and each product has been implemented to hyperlink to a specific pdf in the same directory.

This was no problem.

There where the problem is that it won't work on other computers because it seems "electrician" the address of the hyperlink file.

Then I went and put in place the hyperlink as a URL.  It worked on any computer, but then the pdf file opens in a Web browser.

I NEED THE PDF LINKED TO OPEN IN ADOBE READER.

Then I opened a pdf page in Adobe Acrobat Pro.  It has none of the hyperlinks.  So I've created hyperlinks it.  No probs.  It worked.  But if I want to update this document to a page in the future, I'll have to recreate all the links.  I have other docs that I need to create hundreds of links.

Anyone can shed some light on this?  It should not be difficult.  Why a linked file doesn't work on any computer?

Your help will be very grateful.

David Blatner wrote about this in a blog, InDesignSecrets.com. He suggests to create URL hyperlinks to make them relative. Disadvantage files PDF opens in the web browser of the recipient.

    Hi stephenm26904611,

    Thank you for your bug report about the extension to create a file PDF Acrobat being disabled in FF v43.

    It is a known issue and we are working on that.

    We intend to provide support in the future updates.

    Meanwhile, as a solution, you can use Adobe Create PDF extension for Chome and Internet Explorer, or use Acrobat to convert web pages to PDF.

    Thank you

  • How to create a PDF file with markup enabled for users of Reader?

    I have a bunch of Word 2007 documents containing the specifications of the project. I would like to be able to turn them into PDF documents that others can markup using the player. Is this possible?

    I tried to use the built-in PDF output module. How to create a PDF document, but it is not enabled for comments.

    About half way down this page for comparison.

    http://www.Adobe.com/products/Acrobat/matrix.html

    There is a line that says:

    "Look at familiar material using annotation tools such as sticky

    Notes, highlighting, lines, shapes, and stamps.

    In the column player, there is a symbol in the player column which I assume is
    supposed to be some sort of container half full or something. To the
    background, he says

    "When enabled by Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Pro Extended".

    This seems to indicate that Acrobat Standard cannot create documents PDF active comment, but Pro or Pro Extended can. Is this correct?

    If I buy Acrobat Pro, I will be able to use it to create documents PDF active comment of my Word 2007 documents?

    If so, how does this work? It converts the Word document? It allows to convert the PDF, I create using the Word add-in? I can call it from inside of Word?

    Thank you

    You get this message because that say, if you had a form to fill out, you may not have form fields to fill AND allow commenting at the same time. It's one or the other.

    It should invite you to reregister the file so if you are worried about ruining a certain PDF, simply save it under a different name.

  • How to create a pdf file of 4 pages of images - each page must be open to the same size

    How to create a 4-page pdf (from 4 images - all the same size) which opens each page in the format full page?

    Thank you very much.

    PREVIOUS MSG:

    My goal is to create multi page PDF files created from the images (scans of old brochures).  I get images (scans of pages) to the same size.

    I was able to create 4 PDF files (each opens in format full page) and merge into 1 pdf file.  When I opened this final pdf, I see a column of 4 pages, picture on page 1 being larger than the other 3. When I click on the left icon, page 1, I get the full page.  When I click on the icons for pages 2-4, I get nothing.  The only way I can get the other pages in a view full page is to adjust the scale after selecting the icon on the left.  This is not what I want.

    How I created the files.

    I can create pdf pages using Photoshop or Acrobat Pro itself through:

    File > create PDF > From File and adding each image.  I then, for each, choose Properties > initial view > Fit Page > save. Can I use file > combine > merge files into a single PDF > save.

    I have to open the multi page pdf file.

    I appreciate all help.

    Thank you

    PREVIOUS MS

    If you use Photoshop, have you not thought about having a 4 layer Photoshop file and make sure that all images appear on separtate layers you would like them to appear in PDF format.

    You should then be able to save in PDF via Photoshop and D command to bring up the properties of the document, obtained in the initial view and select your choice of display preference.

    Hope this helps

  • How to create small PDF files with images of reasonable quality?

    Help me Obiwan Adobe!

    There seems to be several utilities on the web that claim to do this, but I thought I ask first of all experts. There must be some sort of step by step technical describes a place that allows you to create PDF files that have reasonable quality but which do not come with such extreme weight they can not be sent by e-mail.

    I saw suggestions ranging from using the footprint of the PDF in InDesign feature (sometimes it works, sometimes not), export from InDesign with the preset PDF/X1a (used to work ok, but now seems not chewable files down, as they used to) to adjust preferences for a lower screen resolution - not in export or save as dialog box - then saving it under a reduced size. I tried almost all the techniques I've seen but in vain.

    So I guess there is something that I am missing. Building a file InDesign you want to compress severely, is best to use JPEG files or other PDF files or something else for placed images?

    I know it's asking a lot and clearly native features of Acrobat are not much help, but I have several uses for this. I do a lot of book design and prefer to send drafts for customers who are at least pretty good for them to watch without blurry images. I would also like to set up a portfolio PDF that does not require the sending by FTP. In fact most of the places that ask for my PDF portfolio want less than 1.5 MB. It seems impossible.

    So there you go. Somebody needs to write a book. In fact, if I get a good orientation, maybe I'll do it.

    Thank you

    . Jpg can be a possible reason for blurred images. JPEG files are not generally recommended for use with PDF files, although many people use. Usually, TIF or PNG are recommended for bitmaps with PDF files.

  • How to create a PDF file from a DOCX without flattening the PNG images?

    What I want to do is to create a manual that he seems his illustrations roughly painted on parchment.

    I created a document .docx in Word which seems correct - the inside images are PNG with transparency on the edges, so if a background is put behind them, it seems that it is painted on the backdrop.

    However, when I use Adobe Acrobat 9 to try to convert to PDF, all images in the resulting PDF file are flat and lose their transparency.  It is not immediately obvious when the background of the page is left blank, but as soon as the background is set to the image of 'scroll', it is clear that transparent parts have been flattened in white United, that seems naturally hideous.

    I can to maintain the transparency of the images in the DOCX document when converted to PDF?

    While I did not exactly find the answer to my question, I found a solution that gives me the look I want.

    Instead add the background "scroll" in Adobe Acrobat format, I have already added the background (filigree) in the original Word 2010.  Although I think that the images still get flattened, they get flattened in the bottom of the parchment so it is not bad actually.

    Now solved!
