Default Publish a document in Adobe

Don,

Thanks for your efforts but you can tell from Ed's post that he has
confirmed my assertion. Adobe Reader 6 will not read printed URLs as active
links when the PDF is produced from primopdf.

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.

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.

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)

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

You could password protect the PDF file against editing and even

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

Hi,

I have a publisher file that i want to go on the web with Hyperlinks

So is this your way of admitting that you were wrong?

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

Here is mine:
"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.

DavidF"

Here is the response from Ed:

"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.)

You have been clear about saying this will work in version 6. I have said
over and over again each time that you post this information that it won't.
Ed confirmed that it does not work in Adobe Reader 6. You don't have
to trust me...trust Ed.

I don't even care if you won't admit to being wrong. The whole reason I
challenged you about this was that you need to quit telling people it will
work with version 6. It simply does not.

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.

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.

JoAnn,

Here is a link to the whole thread in case anyone wants to reference it:
http://groups.google.com/group/micro...7157111be42a33

Here is the statement you made in the thread that was wrong and that I
corrected:

"Now it can but if you still have Pub 2003 or older, nope. When I have time,
I'll update that article.

You don't have to buy and use a third party program as JoAnn suggests.
Everything can be done within Publisher.

DavidF"



You said that you had to use your procedure to send a multi-page newsletter
as the body of an email if one was using "Pub 2003 or older". I followed up
by giving you just one of several ways of doing it totally within Pub 2003
without buying third party software, that is also faster and easier. You
were wrong in what you said, but once again you won't admit it.

Now you are trying to rationalize and spin your way out of admitting that
you were wrong by saying that your procedure would be necessary for Pub 2002
or older, and you are wrong about that too. The option to send a Publisher
newsletter in the body of a message in OE was not even available in Pub 2000
and older, and I am not sure about 2002. But the bottom line is that in
EVERY version of Publisher there are ways of doing it without buying third
party software. Your procedure as per http://tinyurl.com/ype5px does work,
but it is unnecessary. Unfortunately proving it to you doesn't seem to make
any difference.

JoAnn, you just amaze me sometimes. Even after being presented with the
facts about this issue and the issue about the Adobe Reader 6 issue, you
just can't seem to admit that you are wrong. I would think that you as a MVP
would want to know when you are wrong. I would think that you wouldn't want
to keep perpetuating misinformation when you learn that you are wrong. But I
guess I was wrong....you are obviously unable to admit to being wrong and
are unwilling to learn...what a disappointment for a Publisher MVP.

DavidF




"JoAnn Paules" wrote in message

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?

Thanks, but I have experienced some problems and conflicts with "upgrading"
adobe products, so I tend to avoid it unless necessary.

Consider http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php. It is a small file
download, loads faster, and has other advantages over the adobe Reader.
