hyperlink in PDF form

[Former Member]

Hi all - I have some very simple web pages that I created in some word documents - I imported these docs into liveCycle to create PDF's.....works perfect except my hyperlinks don't work in the PDF.....any idea how I can get these to work? Do I need to use scripting? I've searched various help links/docs in adobe and SAP and haven't found anything which specifically addresses my problem.....thanks for any help you can provide! If someone has info on, or a link that addressess this exact problem that would be great!

Hi Steven,

try the following:

1) In the Library palette, click the tab that contains the Launch URL object and drag it onto the form design. ( I found it under the 'Web Dynpro Native' tab)

2) Then click the new "Launch URL" object.

3) In the Object Palette, click the Value tab and type the URL in the Default box.

hope this helps...

Harman....after further review, I ended up using your suggestion.

My using the scripting and HTTP Button was causing me issues with being able to open up a separate window, even though I specified ',1' in my javascript. Plus, I was getting some odd 'Submit cancelled' messages when clicking on the button. So, I utilized the 'Launch URL' object like you said, and that has solved my problem. Thanks for your help.

Thanks everyone for your replies.....I actually ended up using the directions found here:

http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=333000&sliceId=2

I ended up using the HTTPSubmitButton from the Standard menu, and using scripting 'xfa.host.gotoURL'.

I have a few bugs to work out with it (hyperlink fails to open up a separate window), but other than that it is working pretty well.

Thanks again everyone for your replies!

Hi,

Tell me one thing where are you using that link. if you are using it separately then use the Web Dynpro Active X Control. Else if you are using it as separately then use the "HTTP:
" in front of your URL. It works.

Thanks

Hi Steven,

Just use a textview and type the full URL of the address and it will work as a hyperlink in your form.

like below:

http://www.abc.com/xyz/.

do not forget to add the http:// part.

Do reward points if found helpful.
