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.) -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher" 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. DavidF "JoAnn Paules" wrote in message ... 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. -- -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "DavidF" wrote in message ... 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? DavidF "JoAnn Paules" wrote in message ... Version 6 point what? -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "DavidF" wrote in message ... Not there in version 6. DavidF "JoAnn Paules" wrote in message ... 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 Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "DavidF" wrote in message ...

Is this possible or is there a better way of doing this function? JudyT |

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. -- -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "DavidF" wrote in message ... 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? -- -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "DavidF" wrote in message ... Perhaps this will help: Subject: send newsletter in email Date: August 18 From: Stickman DavidF |

Adobe Reader 8.1 is now out; may be time to upgrade.
May all be well with all. -- Don Vancouver, USA "DavidF" wrote in message ... 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. DavidF "Don Schmidt" Don red_1987 wrote in message ... 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. -- Don Vancouver, USA "DavidF" wrote in message ... 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. DavidF "Don Schmidt" Don red_1987 wrote in message ... 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 Vancouver, USA "DavidF" wrote in message ... 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 "Don Schmidt" Don red_1987 wrote in message ... 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.

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. DavidF "Don Schmidt" Don red_1987 wrote in message ... Adobe Reader 8.1 is now out; may be time to upgrade.
