Using hyperlinks to create an interactive pdf

I am trying to create an interactive directory which has several hyperlinks; Some go to a destination in the pdf file, some go to an e-mail link and some dial a phone number. Almost all of them works (all hyperlinks in email and phone numbers work seen on an iPhone and and Android); However some of the hyperlinks that go to a destination in the document do not seem to work. I have all the links created in InDesign and then exported to interactive pdf. It seems that all of the links are hyperlinked directly from the work of text, but when I use an object as a hyperlink (for creating a button), sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. Although the settings for each of them are the same. Works of all things seen in Acrobat on a computer, it just seems to fail when viewing on a mobile device.

Everyone comes through this or have any ideas?

Hi jmerrick,

We just released Acrobat Reader for iOS 15.1.0 version that contains the fix for the problem of hyperlink to your PDF document.

Do you want to give it a try and let us know if the problem is resolved?

Thank you for your patience!

  • What is the best program to use to create an interactive pdf?

    What is the best program to use to create an interactive pdf?

    You can't use InDesign, it's just an example of something that you could use. It would probably be better to use something that you already have experience with.

    Once you convert the document to PDF, you can open it in Acrobat and have it automatically detect the form fields by selecting: forms > Start Wizard forms

    It will attempt to identify where you intend to add form fields, but there is usually a good bit of customization to do later. The alternative is to manually add the form fields yourself by selecting: forms > add or edit fields

    You can use the forms tools to add text fields, check boxes, buttons, etc. There is a lot of information in the doc help Acrobat on the creation and modification of form fields.

  • How to create an interactive PDF of FrameMaker

    In InDesign, I can choose to create a PDF to print or interactive PDF. I don't see this parameter in FrameMaker. Is it possible to create an interactive PDF from a FrameMaker file that has an interactive 3D object imported so that the 3D object will work in the PDF?

    Using the SaveAsPDF Road will allow you to do this. For the 3D stuff, you must also ensure that your edition > Preferences options are set to support these functions.

    If you use the route Print to creatr a PDF file, thn you need to check the option 'Generate Acrobat data' to make interactive PDF files.

  • How can I create an interactive PDF of analysis

    After an internet search, topics help forums, still unable to find a way to accomplish what Im wanting, Im so Im hoping someone can help me. With certain interactive PDFs, Im able to load on my galaxy tab, open them with the app "eBook", study them and highlight while studying. I know how to create an interactive PDF which allows to highlight from scratch using InDesign and Acrobat Pro, but Im trying to figure out how to scan a document, have acrobat (or any other program if one works better) identify the text and create an interactive PDF based on that. I know that you can have acrobat identify the empty spaces to be used as interactive fields, but I think you can also do detect the text on a document too. So, you get a section of the study on paper, but you want to have on your galaxy (or another tab) to be able to study the article and highlight it, without having to type all upward from zero. Is it possible to do? and if so, how do I do it?

    Have you use Save as or save just. Record keeps all the graphics with what you were doing, not just the OCR. SAVE AS band information is no longer used after the OCR process, i.e. If you use ClearScan directly in the PDF file. Two other methods of OCR, place the OCR in a layer behind the original graphics and no space, but add the layer of OCR for research. The success of the OCR process depends on the resolution of quality and analysis of the original analysis. If you have something like the equations, you can get a lot of damage it. AA X supposedly much improved the OCR process.

  • How to create an interactive PDF with variable data

    We basically have a "mail merge" to our list of customers with an interactive PDF file (including videos, menus, etc. - not only form fill and web links) to create a single PDF that contains several pieces of mail... one for each customer... with each total mail being customized for this customer.  Customizations would include different greetings (Bob dear, dear Dana, etc), as well as the different graphs based on unique data to the client, photographs, etc.

    I saw that InDesign and Acrobat Professional can be used to create an interactive PDF (such as http://tv.adobe.com/watch/ask-the-adobe-ones/14-calling-rufus-about-interactive-pdf-making).  But I don't understand how I can insert data into a database, csv, excel etc. in the PDF file file so that each page, or each set of pages in the PDF file can be customized.

    Can someone tell me a tool to use for this?

    Thank you

    Bob Kendall

    I'm new on this and didn't know InDesign could do a data merge, thank you for pointing that out.

    However, we currently produce hundreds of thousands of personalized daily electronic documents, a PDF file or Web user interaction (no, this isn't spam or junk mail).  Our customers have asked us to focus on the generation of personalized interactive PDFs and I fear that the volume could overwhelm InDesign.  My other concern is that all of our work performed automatically (we run hundreds every day) and it is not possible to have a person to sit down, then run InDesign manually for each job.  Our standard operating system need a certain version of unix (AIX or linux), although we can perform tasks under windows if necessary.  It seems, as InDesign will fit in this environment?  If not, is there something else out there?

    Thank you for your time.

  • Can I create an interactive PDF without distributing it?

    Hi guys,.

    I am very new to this and I was invited by the team of development here at work to play and create a form. The idea behind this is that we want to be able to create an interactive PDF form that can be saved without download it anywhere by one of our users (because they cannot access internet when they fill out the form). At a later stage the user must download the PDF file in our system that will read the contents of the form and download these data to the database. Our system is a Java web-based back-office system.

    -Similarly, we will also pre-fill data in the form, if it is present in our database when the form is downloaded for use.

    So I'm basically looking to somehow change the security settings on the PDF file. I know it's possible but I don't see how to do it and I can't find any help on how to do it and it makes me crazy!

    Hello

    You can do this in the designer of the LC, but I highly recommend that you take a look at our summary of restrictions depending on how you deploy your form:

    It is available here: https://acrobat.com/#d=3lGJZAZuOmk8h86HCWyJKg and here: http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Using_LiveCycle_Forms_in_Acrobat_and_Reader-16518.html

    You can send a form, but if users have Reader they won't be able to save data that they fill in. They will be able to present data, but only in xml format.

    If you drive to activate the form allow users drive to back up data, then data connections is disabled.

    Good luck

  • Create an interactive PDF on 35 pages

    Hi displays the first time here, so apologies in advance if I break all the rules.

    So I'm having a strange problem that I hope someone can help with.

    I created an interactive PDF on InDesign CS6. The document has a back, a front and a button of content on each page as a TOC marked with a bookmark. When I go to export, said the document and open it in Acrobat. the form field guide bar (attached) seems that there is no form field in the document. The strange thing is that it appears that if the document is 35 pages or more. Can someone help so that this bar does not appear on the pdf doc?

    Screen Shot 2014-11-13 at 16.07.04.png

    In this case does not rely on the number of pages, rather than the number of interactive elements in the PDF file.

    You can prevent Acrobat/Reader (regardless of the number of interactive elements) to display the toolbar of form by activating certain restrictions document as not allowing content do not copy or page extraction.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro, create an interactive pdf for distribution of electronic mail by someone else

    I have created an interactive pdf with all fields in the correct form and present the button above. The action that I chose for the submit button was "attached to an e-mail address", but I can't understand how to enter a different from mine. It automatically attaches to my email address. Help! I need to send the form approval and distribution of this person. Thank you!

    Hello

    Once you have created the button, you set the action as "submit a form". When you add to that, you will be asked to enter the URL. You must type mailto: follow-up to the e-mail address you want the end user to send it to. For example, if your client/colleague wants the form to be sent to them and their email address is [email protected] then you would enter

    mailto:[email protected]

    in the URL box. You want to make sure to only select the PDF option, which attaches the whole form to the e-mail address.

    hope that helps

  • How to use Flash to create an interactive diagram

    Hi all.

    I'm an extreme newbie. I would like to create an interactive schema and someone said I should use Flash to do.

    The idea is to create an organization chart (like the ones you can produce in MS Word 2010). Every station will have its own box or button. When a user clicks on the box or button, a Word document or internet link will be activated and take the user to another resource.

    Is it possible to do it in Flash?

    The reason why I chose Flash is because I have a large number of these diagrams and they must go to Moodle. Flash is apparently the only program I should use to import the schema into Moodle.

    Can someone help me please advice on how to do this?

    Thank you

    Sharyn

    By the end of the diagram of the things... Start by creating the chart in Flash.  Everything you intend to use as clickable elements, create them as movieclip symbol so that you will be able to assign instance names their.  You assign the instance names by selecting the object on the stage and entering a unique name in the properties panel where it says .  This name will be used in the code that you will use to create the feature by clicking on/Binder.

    End of things, start simple binding... create a diagram that has one click and get only a point of work.  What you learn can be applied to the larger version.  The same indicated in the first subparagraph shall apply.  Additional info only you need is to create the actual code.  To help that you must decide which version of Actionscript, you are going to use, which may depend on what version of Flash you use.  AS3 is the latest version of Actionscript, and there for the first time in being back with Flash CS3.

    The first thing you need to do to make a useful movieclip down must assign a unique instance name.  If you drag a copy of it on the stage of the library, and while it is still selected, enter you this unique instance for her name in the Panel properties... say you name "btn1.

    In AS3, to make a movieclip to work with the code, you must add a listener of events and event handler for it function.  You may need to add a little (for different events, like reversal, deployment, by clicking on it, but for now let's just say you want to be able to click them to get a web page.)  In the scenario that contains this button, a layer of separate actions that you create in a similar framework where this button exists, numbered, you must add the event listener:

    Btn1.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1Click);

    The name of the unique function for the treatment, the click of this button is specified at the end of the assignment of event listener, so now you just have to write this function:

    function btn1Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {}

    var url: String = "http://www.awebsite.com/awebpage.html";

    var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest (url);

    navigateToURL (req);

    }

    Two invites on 1 page in Indesign that when exporting to adobe reader in pdf format, I can simply add new names that populate both copies and then be printable. Any help out there is how to make an invitation in Indesign, but now how to make 2 copies on a single page that someone else ie the customer can add their own names. So each field name must complete on both guest. Sounds simple, but is not really there to help. I think he called an interactive pdf. Thanks in advance.

    AutoFill is the easiest part, he lies. If both fields have the same name, they will have the same content: type in one and it appears in the other.

  • How to disable page scrolling when you create an interactive PDF using InDesign?

    I'm trying to create a PDF portfolio interactive with links to the homepage of the gallery and projects pages, etc, but it seems unnecessary, if I can't stop the PDF pages to scroll? Can anyone help?

    I have InDesign CS5.5 and Adobe Acrobat Pro.

    Thank you

    scroll through pages

    There is nothing you can do to prevent a viewer to navigate on their own through a PDF file. One method would be to open the PDF file in mode full screen, this hides the navigation tab. But a viewer can use arrows to go from page to page, ignoring the links in the PDF file. And the viewer can hit the ESC key to return to the normal display. Another option would be to use a swf export, pdf indstead, but seriously depends on how you plan to distribute this portfolio.

  • Creating an interactive pdf of page flip...

  • InDesign 2014 E-mail hyperlink does not work when the interactive pdf is displayed in a tab in the browser

    When we create an interactive pdf in inDesign CC 2014, the e-mail link does not time the 'topic' and 'to' when the client opens in a browser view. Works fine when downloaded and opened in Acrobat, but most customers will use the browser method. How does one solve this problem when making the PDF, or, how does one prevent the PDF to open in a browser? There was once a "prevents the opening in the browser" in earlier versions of Acrobat, but it isn't here in xi Acrobat. Thank you, in advance!

    You can solve by the PDF, that so fine because in Acrobat, then the link is OK. You also can not prevent to open in the browser, because the browser manages how to open a PDF file. PDF included browser readers can be turned off or there are (probably) settings always open the PDF file in an external application (Adobe Reader, etc.).

    However, I also create PDF files of in Indesign (although non-interactive ones), which include hyperlinks for e-mail, and put it on our Web site. If I use Chrome and click any PDF link, it opens in the browser and hovering over an e-mail address reveals the mailto: link (subject not included, is not serious in any way) and a click opens my mail client. Works perfectly.

    Can you provide a link to one of your PDF files online for testing?
