Hypertext links to the URL changes when exporting to PDF
I use InDesign CS6 to create a document with many links to URLS. I found that the conversion of INDD as PDF (Export to PDF) process is changing some special characters in the link, basically to break hyperlinks in the PDF file (for example, a symbol equation "=" AND the question mark symbol "?") BOTH converted to their html codes of character - 3D and % 3F, respectively - and the links are broken, "404 error".
Process:
- Highlight the text you want
- Right click > interactive > new hyperlink
- Link to: URL
- Destination URL: paste the location of the link
- Apply the character style "hyperlink."
- File > Adobe PDF presets

Recreate a link to the mp4 video when exporting the apk from CC animate?
Hello, I have a problem with my video in a mini app that I have to do.
I joined a video with the video import box and all this beautiful work on the debug (with Tablet android usb connected) mode and the preview.
But when I publish on the APK, the video does not come with it, and the link is borken (I guess).
It's just a simple menu with a Buton "Video game" entering a period where I put the video with the FLVplayback thing (video is a mp4 encoded with the android 720 p preset).
I don't want any link flow online ect, I want just a local use.
Then, how to properly export the package?
If anyone can help...
It didn't occur to me before, but you've entered in the publishing settings, general tab and video added to the list of included files?

I just noticed that (in comparison to Internet Explorer): in IE, when you preferred a Web page, it uses the actual name of the Web page (for example, for this page, it would be "Ask a Question Firefox Help" as the name of the bookmark), but in Mozilla, it uses the URL as the name of the bookmark. I was wondering if it was possible to change my Mozilla settings so that it uses the name of the Web page as the bookmark name instead of the URL? I hope that everyone understands what I am getting? If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
Firefox uses the tag title for the name of the newly saved bookmark.
When I bookmark on this forum page I get this for the 'name' of the bookmark.

I have problems with anchors named in my htm file. I clearly identify them as being in the document (ie., internal links within the file). When I preview the file in a browser, the links point to my hard drive, which is totally false. What should I do to change it? I use DreamWeaver 2004 on a PC.
You will need to correct the links that begin with "file".
Now that your site has been defined, you just delete the bad links and DW left write the good ones for you.
Click on the yellow folder on the property inspector, and then select the target page.
If your site is small, you can edit the links manually (remove the part in red)
content.htm file:///C:/desktop/localRootFolder/subfolder/subfolder/images/
It would be useful that post you your code on the page so that we can see if you use the old technique or new for these links.

Article name name of the class div when exporting to HTML
Hello
Is it possible to add the name of the article to the corresponding div when exporting to html format?
Here are few context:
-J' have a document indesing containing several items that I would like to export to HTML.
-Each article contains 1 or more images with the caption, title, and a block of text.
-Each image and the caption is in a group and are contained in an Article.
When you export I get this structure:
What I would look like this:
I would like the article content to be contained in a div with a class name of the article name. Any idea?
Thank you
Hi ldnoel,
Article names are not mapped to div class names in InDesign. The object styles are mapped to names of classes in InDesign CC.
That's how a class name can be specified in the dialog box style options:
Kind regards

Size of the image changes when you move an image between Lightroom and CC.
Size of the image changes when you move an image between Lightroom and CC.
I opened a .dng image in LR and then opened it in the develop module. I clicked on Crop Overlay and then on the "As Shot" (the lock is closed) menu drop-down and cropped to 11 x 17 and click 'Done '-.
I click Ctrl-E and the image opens in the CC. I click on the Image > Image size and the size of the Image is 13,288 inches on 20,533.
Why change the size of the image?
I believe that there is a menu to control the size of the image, and I've looked everywhere I see in LR and CC, I have googled various descriptions and I checked both Kelby books, but I can't understand not just how to keep the image at a uniform height when moving between LR and CC.
Help!... Please?
The size of the image has not changed. The number of pixels has not changed. Let me tell you. The number of pixels has not changed to a single pixel.
The numbers relatively meaningless displayed by your software have changed.
The image is always format 11 x 17 (17 divided by 11 = 1.545 and 20.533 divided by 13.288 = 1.545)

Images high resolution that I import in indesign appear in a very bad definition on-screen and when exported to pdf, they are still quite far from the original. Perhaps to address these problems?
The bad export quality could be linked to the pre-selection of PFD you have chosen. Some of the presets are designed to re - sample images to make a smaller final PDF

Hello-
I have receid a model from a printer which I can see in my INDD file, but it does not appear in Preview Mode of overprinting or when exporting to PDF format. I would like to be able to export works of art with the model visible to the customer for review and audit purposes. What settings must change to CO-OPERATE if the model is visible when I export to PDF?
Check if it is on a layer marked as non-printable, or if the non-printing attribute is checked in the control panel. You will need to change whrever find you.

Hello world
Wanted to understand a better approach on how to take the links that are dynamic, can be stored in the contact name field, and then convert on redirect links when sending an email. Does anyone do this?
We have a use case where we want to send one every day by e-mail, but every time we send, change URL, and of course, we want to track clicks on URLS.
All suggestions are appriciated.
Thank you
Amit Pandya
The URL must define documents / web pages where the customer can read most relevent information to update their interest. The URL can be in CMS (Content Management System) or CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system. In both cases, the goal is to serve the most relevant information by email.
Have already tried mergers field, and of course, it does not work.
Also, ask yourself if it can be done by using the API, before put us the effort in the development of programs to generate direct emails and re-links used API.
Another option.
If someone has done this, would appriciate some clarification.

I have a paged presentation that contains multiple indesign files linked. They have two colors: black to 100% and a spot color. If I export the files related, using the same PDF preset, the colors are kept, but when exporting from layout with them tied it converts black in 4 colors. I checked the separations on the layout file but they are all very good. It's just a bug or am I doing something stupid?
What happens when you color manage CMYK to another space CMYK, try using PDF X / 1 setting first and make sure that preserve numbers is set for the release, let us know how it goes.

How to keep link text fonts to change when it is associated with an object?
Greetings. Using Dreamweaver cs5 and would like help with a simple problem.
I am discovered late text flash broke and if I change links in html format. The problem is that when I connect text to an object, another web page, the police link the two changes of fonts and colors (blue). I suspect it's maybe because I have an attached css style sheet. I guess that means that I have to change the properties of the link of the page through the page properties, which I believe is supposed to replace the css stylesheet. Appears not to be the case, I applied the changes and change of police remains. What I am doing wrong? Thanks for your help.
I think I get the question now. The links are intended to be grey, good, not blue?
In this case, you have all these styles in the linked stylesheet "subpages.css" that affect the links.
a: link {color: #0033CC; make-weight: normal; do-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, without serif; do-size: 1em; text-decoration: none}
a: visited {}
color: #993366;
text-decoration: none;
do-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, without serif.
do-size: 1em;
make-weight: bold
}
a: hover {make-weight: bold; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; do-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, without serif; do-size: 1em}
a: active {}

As part of my course of MY I submitted a script exported to .pdf, and when I arrived at the bottom of the page the name of the character is sometimes separated from the Dialogue.
I received a note from my tutor about it is formatted, but I doubt that the answer is to take in unwanted blank line that he would so ruin anything earlier moves downwards.
Is there a way to get around this please?
Character
-(page break)-
Dialogue
Thank you
Jamie
I guess you can try two things
-You can insert a page break before this character. i.e.
-(page break)-
Character
Dialogue
- or you can try to disable "more & more" in the view menu. He must move such sequences of characters-dialogue on the next page.

Is it possible to open a folio to a specific page of external links using the URL scheme?
We want to link in a folio of another application we create. We can open the application Viewer with the URL scheme that we define in the application (for example, com.name.app). However, it always opens the application on the home screen.
Ideally, we would like to link in a specific portfolio or a single page in the folio. Is this possible using a sort of chain of request/identifier/anchor on the end of the URL scheme?
Yes, its possible, but officially not supported and is not fully tested. Check the DPS tips App by Bob Bringhurst (https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/digital-publishing-suite-tips/id436199090?mt=8)
