Default Publish a document in Adobe

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?

Adobe Reader v6.05 (?) "recognizes" email addresses and URLs without any
intervention on your part.

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. I
don't know about the popular Primopdf.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

No it does not!!!! When are you going to quit telling people this? Just
because you keep repeating it over and over again won't ever make it true.

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.
