Publish a document in Adobe

[JudyT]

Hi,

I have a publisher file that i want to go on the web with Hyperlinks and
all. I want it to be an Adobe file so that no one can edit it. Is this
possible or is there a better way of doing this function?

If you use Publisher 2002 or later with Acrobat 7 (not Reader) or later
then you will get an add-in that preserves hyperlinks on PDF export.

If you use Publisher 2007 you get the PDF functionality built in; you
just have to download the free add-in to switch it on.

 

[JoAnn Paules]

Have you ever tried this? May I suggest that you open a .pdf file and try
it? If you would like, I will gladly send you one to prove my point. But
then again, you might not trust me. How about if we ask someone else to
create a simple .pdf file with nothing more than a web address in plain text
and convert it to a .pdf file with PrimoPDF? I'm telling you that the cursor
in Reader will recognize it. As soon as I can find the information from an
independent source (you never know whom I may have bribed), I'll post it for
you. How does that sound?

That's kind of you to post this three times in the same thread. When you
learn I'm right, please make sure you post *that* three times as well to
balance out the bad karma. Thank you.

because you keep repeating it over and over again won't ever make it true.

If you use the Publisher 2007 pdf add-in to insert the hyperlink correctly
in a Publisher document, those links will survive the conversion to pdf. If
you use primopdf and some of the other freebie pdf tools, the hyperlinks
will not survive. If you use the full version of Acrobat and some other
products such as PDF-Exchange that Don uses, the hyperlinks will also
survive. But contrary to what JoAnn continues to say, just writing the link
will not work.

DavidF

 

[DavidF]

Don,

Contrary to what Joann continues to spout, if you produce a pdf with
primopdf hyperlinks do not survive the conversion. She just doesn't seem to
accept reality.

DavidF

 

[JoAnn Paules]

From the Adobe Reader Help file under Preferences - General Panel -
Preferences for viewing PDFs:

Create Links From URLs
Specifies whether links that weren't created with Acrobat are automatically
identified in the PDF document and become clickable links.

Now admittedly this is from v8 but it also says the same thing in v7.
Perhaps you should check your Reader settings to see whether your settings
are not allowing this on your system. It would be terrible to find out that
your Reader isn't giving you it's full functionality.

Yes, I have tried it more than once, and we have had this disagreement
before. I even tested it again when the new version of primopdf came out. It
doesn't work!

I would love to have someone who has primopdf and not any other pdf creator
installed on their computer try the test to confirm what I am saying. Post a
URL in exactly the way you say you should write it so there will be no
confusion. I will even test it again. As you have the full version of
Acrobat installed, your machine is not representative of the primopdf only
installation.

In my test I am using www.primopdf.com version 2 and the Adobe Reader
version 6.0.05. I would also suggest to anyone willing to test this, in
addition to just pasting the text of the URL in a text box, to try inserting
the hyperlinks in the proper way and see if those survive the conversion. In
both cases, it fails for me.

And sure, post any information that you can find that confirms your
assertions. I would love to be wrong...but I don't believe I am.

And I will continue to follow you around and correct you as long as I feel

and Don has assumed your assertions are correct, so it did require three
posts.

If I am wrong, I will gladly shout it from the roof tops. What about you?
You didn't even acknowledge me when I corrected you again about the
misinformation you have posted about combining a 4 page newsletter for
emailing, let alone admit that you were wrong. So why didn't you acknowledge
that you are wrong about that?

You could password protect the PDF file against editing and even
printing if you want.

The above is possible with PDF-XChange and probably with Adobe Acrobat.

Your post said it would work with Adobe Reader 6+, and I have said it does
not work with Adobe Reader 6.0.05. Are you now saying that one has to have
version 7 or 8?

Please post the text version of the URL that works for you as requested, and
while you are at it, post the text for the email links that also work for
you. I will test both the email and the URL links as you provide them, as
can others.

I've just tested this in all available versions of Reader 6.x. No
version did it.

(Anyway, I dislike full web addresses in online PDFs anyway - text links
(which no PDF reader can add unless they're already there) are the way
forward.)

The point is that this is not an option in Adobe Reader 6. You may have this
option in Acrobat full version, or perhaps even in the Reader versions 7+,
but it is not in Reader 6...at least where I can find it.

Do you have some other documentation that says this should work in Reader 6?
