InDesign text anchor links work only in the export to PDF.

Hi all

I have an InDesign document with a table of contents, I have rectangles drawn on each title, removed complete and race. I then linked these "empty" rectangles (using the hyperlinks Panel > create new hyperlink) to various anchor points of text that I placed it in the document. To create these text anchor points, I pointed out the titles throughout the document and using the 'new Destination of the hyperlink' via the menu of the hyperlinks, created all the anchor points of the text. I then just appropriate element Table of contents, create new hyperlink selected and "Anchor Text" in the options, choose the name of the anchor text and bobs your uncle. A dotted line appears around the rectangle "in white" and I then export as PDF.

HOWEVER

When I then open the PDF file, some of the hypertext links are clickable and take me to the destination I want in the PDF document. Some do not work. I don't know why. It's really frustrating.


I tried to recreate the empty rectangles and the link between the rectangles to text anchors, but nothing will do. Anyone can shed some light on this? I'm doing it wrong? Is it using a blank rectangle to create the "button to click on the cause of this problem? There are about 40 of these empty rectangle buttons, as well as links to external PDF documents.

Thanks in advance

Thanks Frans

I am amending a document made by someone else, and their mode of hyperlinking is ridiculous. Will have a look at the table of contents. For the moment, changing text link anchors to General pages allowed links to be clickable. The problem also seems to be to redirect the PDF as Adobe Reader works perfectly.

It seems also to reference links to the indd rather than the PDF document or go to page 21 of *.indd rather than page 21 *.pdf

See you soon!

  • Hyperlinks in PDF any works not in the export in PDF format

    I created an ad in InDesign using hyperlinks. I export this announcement as PDF and hypertext links are working fine. Import the PDF file in my magazine in InDesign. Then, when I export the magazine in PDF format, the links in the PDF file do not work.

    Other hyperlinks works very well. Hyperlinks in other imported PDFs work very well. It doesn't matter if the imported PDF document is linked or embedded. I also tried to import just the INDD file, but that no longer works.

    What Miss me?

    (I use the most up-to-date CC InDesign on Windows 8) I use Print PDF rather than interactive PDF).

    What Steve has said is true. Links to not carry on when a file is placed into InDesign, in this way. Bob also noted that be recognized hyperlinks only implied that Acrobat can detect. One solution would be to draw an empty frame on the top link in InDesign, convert it to a button and set it to the GoToURL action and enter the url. This in fact will have an impact on when exporting to PDF, as long as you have the hyperlink check box selected.

  • Dynamic links works only when the AE project is open

    Whenever I start my project to create, all my images load, but where there is a dynamic linked after effects composition I just get the yellow "media Meanwhile chart» If I try to recreate a link to these compositions to the original after effects project (there is only 1 project with comps about 7 inside), first simply freezes, and my only option is to force quit it.

    If I try to reimport that after effects project that it freezes and I have to force to leave. I tried to create another after effects project with just a simple piece of text in 1 composition and then import and sometimes with the dialog "Import after effects compositions" but then there is simply nothing but show progress who never does anything bar a "connection to the server of dynamic links".

    On other occasions, when I try to make a shape any dynamic link import first just freezes and I have to force quit. It seems to be a problem for me with dynamic link, which has happened recently. This may be due to an After effects Scripts, I recently installed? Can they affect dynamic links?

    SOLUTION: I found a solution, but it is not ideal in case I've had several after effects in the first projects. I can open the 1 after the effects of the project first, and then when I opened the first links to the project and the individual compositions seamlessly. BUT if I close after effects project while still in first, first freezes and I have to force it to quit. If something is terribly wrong with this project.

    Okay, I think I found the solution.

    First of all, I went through and deleted a third after effects scripts/Script UI panels/third party plugins to see if that was causing problems. I then tried again and found that it still had the same problem, so it wasn't because of that.

    I then found someone in a forum that said deleting the folder Adobe containing positioning preferences and other things found in the documents of the user. I deleted it and as I forced quit 2 process of "aselflink" which seems to be running in the background. I also deleted my preferences AE holding Option-shift on the after effects startup and launch of the first.

    A combination of all that, now a dynamic link is working smoothly again. I go to a time not so crucial for my current project finished, reinstall the scripts etc and make sure that it was not caused by them.

    Hey there I tried to make a simple animation of Flash CS5.5 5 images each with a stop(); action but when read on the iPad the aniamtion does not, stop it scroll 5 frameworks rather than stop at frame 1.

    A reason why this is happening?

    Inflated it to 256 and it works now.

    Hope this helps someone else in the future if they come across it.

  • NEITHER Spy works only in the development environment?

    NEITHER Spy works on LabView (executables) stand-alone applications deployed (using VISA vi), or NI Spy works only in the development environment? It might be useful for debugging of deployed applications.

    If the answer is Yes (which I doubt), OR would have to create an installer for it since currently it is no longer available as an add-on.

    Thank you

    Ed

    Edjsch,

    You can install VISA as a standalone w/o LabVIEW. Spy is not a stand-alone installer because it does nothing in itself. That's why we always package it with a driver or application software.

  • Hi all. How can I manage the preferences that LR do not take up space on my MAC hard drive and works only on the external hard drive?

    Hi amireos,

    Yes, you can create your workflow where you can keep all your images on the external hard drive and the Lightroom catalog file as well.

    If you start with Lightroom and then use the Destination location as external hard drive when you import your image of the external source such as a camera or SD.

    If you already have your Images on the Mac HD drive, then play all your Image on the external hard drive first and then import images directly from there.

    Finally, you can change the location of the Lightroom Catalog as well.

    Default location: folder on the Mac Drive HD, there is folder called Lightroom that you can move on the external drive too (however catalog Lightroom can't memory space as its only import previews of the images is not the real image and full)

    Once you move the file catalog Lightroom external hard disk, then you need to browse the catalog file when you launch Lightroom only once.

    See thread: LR catalog moving on external hard drive

    Let us know if it helps.

    Kind regards

  • Errors during preflight and where is the export to PDF in CS5?

  • Questions about the export of PDF with India CS5.5

    Hey all,.

    A few questions about the export to PDF of the most recent version of India.

    First of all, I noticed it seems to take much more time to access a PDF file. Any suggestions about how to speed up the process? It took 8 minutes to generate a PDF low resolution (for printing) of a document of 24pp with placed images and vector graphics. Wow, that's a long wait, especially for evidence.

    Second, the background task... If I get it will make this PDF of 8 minutes and then more work on the document, which is exactly in the PDF? Usually, I have save before making a PDF or printing. Thus, the latest version is saved which will be in the PDF?

    (Either incidentally, this ability to work on the doc while generating a PDF file seems kind of weird. Generally, we do a PDF for proofing, or even for printing, when any changes have been made and that everything is "final". Therefore, I see no advantage in being able to work on my document while it is making a PDF file, I am probably once your revisions for the moment. I must say that I like the progress bar that you get when you perform an interactive PDF, as you know that you can not work on the document when it is on the screen...)

    Thank you as always.

    Good, people. Wanted to just follow this and post my results. It turns out that the problem is somewhere in the Illustrator file. I never had the time to guess what work plan was the culprit. Other India files PDF files is transparent and not a lot of time.

    No resolution, unfortunately, just good to know that it is not all India files on my system. Phew!

    THANK YOU for your advice.

    get the conversion failed on the export of PDF files.

    Hi jfcobb999,

    I'm sorry that you are having problems, file conversion. You convert the web interface, or through Adobe Reader? You have a large number of files in the folder root of your list of files on Acrobat.com?

    Try to start these things:

    • Empty the cache of the browser, and then try again.
    • Use another browser.
    • Make sure the drive is up-to-date by selecting help > check for updates.
    • If you have a large number of files on Acrobat.com, some of them move in a subfolder.

    Please let us know how it goes.

    Best,

  • Links URL works only in the upper layer chronology

    The option the code for 'click - Open url' works only on this symbol in the top layer of my calendar.

    I tried to make the buttons all symbols separated and distinct of the same symbol instances. I disabled the so that they are never on at the same time in the animation. I never make them animated so that they are never in the same place in the timeline, so overlap or blocking one another. I put the code to remove the symbol as soon as it is no longer necessary for the following can happen, and I tried all combinations of these elements.

    I even downloaded an interactive sample created in border and used this code. It has worked well for the sample, but of course, it was only one interactive there was no timetable.

    Maybe it's a bug? Flash if something was not an element in a keyframe, but still had a layer, it has not been saved on the stage at all. On board, that it seems that even if the element or symbol is disabled or deleted, it is still somehow "there."

    Thanks in advance for any idea on this issue.

    I looked and resdesign is right, that's the problem exactly. You must move your buttons 'Learn more' to the top of the stacking order. Even if an element has the value 0 Opacity, it intercepts the click event.
