Default Publish a document in Adobe

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?

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.

No it does not!!!! When are you going to quit telling people this? Just

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?

While we are chatting about PDF readers, what earliest version of Adobe
Reader is required to place or read highlighting, stamps, sticky notes etc?
And if one had an older version, could they open a PDF file with
highlighting, stamps, sticky notes etc.?

Have you got Primopdf version 3.2?

Maybe we are not all on the same page by "hyperlinks".

PDF Readers will pick up on urls and email addresses but not on hyperlinks
associated with other text and images. (I think)

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.

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.

Ed,

Thanks for taking the time to test this out. Did you perhaps have the
opportunity to test this using Reader 7 or 8?

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.)

Hi Don,

I tested this whole thing originally using an early version of Primopdf, and
then version 2, and now 3.2 without any luck. I tested the following in a
text box:

http://www.google.com/
http://google.com/
www.google.com
and for an email:


I also inserted a hyperlink in the proper manner by highlighting some text
and inserting the link. The plain text URLs and email address in the text
box did not show an underline as active links on the Publisher page, but
have automatically taken on that formatting in this post. The inserted
hyperlink did show an underline as an active link, and still showed an
underline after PDF production.

After producing the PDF file, I opened it in Adobe Reader 6.0.05. Neither
the text only URLs, the text only email, or the inserted hyperlink survived
the transition, though the inserted hyperlink was still blue and underlined.

Please let me know what results you get. Thanks.

David,

I copied your four links to a Notepad file, created a PDF and the four links
were active.
I then copied your four links to a text box in Publisher 2000 and the four
links were active.

In both tests the links did not produce underlines until I turned on the
underline option in my PDF program. It also has the options to encase the
address in a rectangle.

Just a week or so ago I tried Primopdf ver 3.2 and the links created worked
in a created PDF file.

You may want to review the preferences in your PDF creating program looking
for an option to "analyze links"

For a PDF reader I use PDF-XChange Viewer (no cost), equal to or better than
Adobe Reader 8.1
For a PDF creating program I use PDF-XChange Pro, very good but didn't test
compare with Adobe.

If interested, http://www.docu-track.com/

The Tools program is excellent; I use it often to combine PDF files or to
rearrange pages in a file.

Have just checked 7.0.9 (the earliest 7.x version available on
adobe.com) and the functionality is present (if somewhat annoying - it
opens IE, when my default browser is Opera, and misrecognises an email
address with a period in the pre-@-sign element (ignoring the period and
everything before it).

I found it this morning. I stand by that procedure. It can be used to
convert a multipage newsletter into an email. If the poster doesn't have Pub
2003, then they need to resort to other software. We can't assume someone
does or doesn't have a current version of Publisher when others insist on
using older versions of free software. There's just no way to tell if we
aren't given all of the facts, is there?

I was informed by a fellow MVP that the change was made in the 6.0.5 update.
I'm still trying to find a list of things that were changed in that update
but Adobe's site keeps giving me info on v7 or v8. And I've been very clear
about which version of Reader I'm talking about.

I have an old laptop with 7.0.8 and it allows it in the preferences. I have
one more computer to check but I suspect he has v7 as well.
