    Uhm
    No, it can't help me
    Because I have a document with many pages, and in header of all pages I want to put an URL
    for clicking on it ( it will connect to a website).
    How do i do that with a lot of pages in document.
    (I can't use link tool or another for each page, it is so hard).

     

    by: jared_lukerPosted on 2005-08-29 at 13:38:23ID: 14779087

    I can't see any way to do it.  You can use the link tool, but there is no way to pass the functionality of the link tool into the headers/footers area.

    Don't see problem.  I use open office to create document with hyperlink in document.  Then export document to PDF, and when anyone view PDF file, document shows clickable hyperlink.  Click, it open instance of default browser, all work fine.

    Hi Myquestion324,
    From what I understand of your question, you already have a PDF document that requires to prepend the header to each page. Now, is it possible to get the original source document (word or powerpoint) from which this PDF was created? If yes, then you can indeed put the hyperlink as a part of the header in the source document (Microsoft Word document) and then use the "create PDF" utility from within MS Word to convert the source document into PDF (along with the links).
    If you don't have the source document for the PDF that you are trying to edit, you can use SCANSOFT PDF to Word Converter and then edit the resulting Word Document (put the header with the URL etc.) and then convert it back into PDF using the "create PDF" plugin from within MS Word.

    Hope this helps.
    -Sree

    Yes, I have source document (MS Word), and I create a link in header of each page,
    but when I convert this document into pdf file this link is lost ( it mean that: I can't click on it to connect to website).

     

    by: sreeraoPosted on 2005-08-30 at 11:20:59ID: 14787496

    Hi Myquestion324,
    Can you post the steps you take to create the PDF from word? Do you go through the File --> Print option OR use the Adobe PDF creation menu? Make sure that you have the "Add links to Acrobat" set in the "Conversion settings" under the Adobe PDF creation menu in MS Word. However, it would be helpful if you can tell us, how are u specifying the URL in the header (are u specifying the protocol i.e., http:// etc)
    OR you can use the method that cogitate4u suggested.
    -Sree

    I use Acrobat 6.0 to convert my files into PDF, and I tested your case, evedently the Link in the header isn´t converted as link, just as text. That is because when you export from word to pdf the converter display the information as you see in word, what I mean is if you try to click on the link in word you wouldn´t unless you are editing the header, but any other link in the docuemen is converted as link. I don´t know probably you can insert the link in all pages, but no in the header....
