How do I make a link from a PDF? - pdf

I'm doing a project and I need the table of contents to have links so I can be brought to different parts of the same document with this. I know how to make a link in the program I'm using (google docs) but I'm not sure where I find the link to another page in the PDF. I know how to do this on Adobe but I don't have access to the Pro portion of Adobe. Any help would be great!

Select the word or phrase you want to be hyperlinked.
Go to insert link button. Write the destination URL, click Ok.

how to crawl a page whose link is hidden until it is clicked

i want to get data of a page whose link needs to be clicked.
i have tried capturing the link field with a crawler and extractor with column validation set as link and html. but it doesnot return the actual link.
only after i click the link, a pop-up opens, from where i want the data.
each landing page has around 50 such links. i want to crawl each of these links.
i tried this with a connector but things get complex as there are around 90k queries. additionally the connector doesnot return the url of the page which would be helpful.
Extracting this data really depends on the website. Import is not able to extract data from popups. But, extracting the link path may be possible, depending on the structure of the website. If you are not able to extract the data with the tool, I would suggest using an xpath to obtain the link path.
To do this navigate to the page you want this data from, right click and select "inspect element." Select where the link path is on the page, right click again and select "select xpath." Go back to your Extractor and select the "advanced settings" icon and paste in your xpath. Again, this may not work, since it is dependant of how the website it structured, but still worth a try.
Thanks,

How to create a hyperlink to a onedrive file or folder without sharing it with anyone - and then use it

(Once the hyperlink is created I will use it in OneNote to link to a file on my own Onedrive, for only me to use !)
When I view a file in Word online the URL displayed is:
https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?cid=53B31F7A44698440&resid=53B31F7A44698440%2130033&app=Word
Say I want to insert a link to the file in a website or OneNote page, such that it has NOT been shared with anyone. ie Only I have permissions to view it like the file reference by the above link.
Can I simply use the above URL as a link?
I have used OneDrive sharing, but I think all the methods given result in the file being shared with other named people or publically. eg like this one:
http://1drv.ms/1zOli6p
...which when viewed in word online shows this URL:
https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?cid=53B31F7A44698440&resid=53B31F7A44698440%2130035&app=Word
I have been experimenting and using the URL seems to work. However, if the above does work, what I don't get is why OneNote does not allow a link to be created to a file stored on Ondrive. (On my PC it sonly seems to allow links to locally stored files).
I have used GoogleDrive which allows you to select a file and right click it to "receive a link" which you can use in the manner described above. This is a really useful feature.
Note that in a similar way, I would like to create a link that causes onedrive to open and display a chosen folder. This seems to work ok when I use a URL this one that only I have permissions to view:
https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=53B31F7A44698440&id=53B31F7A44698440%2130031
Any advise is really appreciated.

The links you copy/paste from your browser's address bar should work just fine, as your experiments have confirmed. If you're not trying to share the content with other people, you don't need to go through the sharing flows. You can just use those URL's.
From within OneNote itself you can also get links to content by right-clicking on a page/section/notebook and clicking 'copy link to page,' 'copy link to section,' etc.
You can open folder in OneDrive online (via browser or right clicking on the folder in File Explorer then selecting "view online") and click "get link" at the top. Just cut and paste into OneNote. From there you can edit/rename the link as usual.
Oddly, OneNote has functionality to copy a FILE link using the Insert > Link, but you can't stop at the folder level.
Ideally, I'd like the above option as well as dragging a folder from OneDrive within Windows File Explorer and have it ask me if I want to copy the entire folder or create a link.
I use links in format
https://onedrive.live.com/edit.aspx?resid=fd5d9e0ac8248db7!3447 (example, not real link)
or
https://onedrive.live.com/?id=fd5d9e0ac8248db7!3447
where
fd5d9e0ac8248db7 - is your ID number, and
3447 - is ID number of element (folder, Word file, OneNote notebook, media etc.)
P.S. Link format for open .one files online and folders inside OneNote online:
https:/ /onenote.officeapps.live.com/o/onenoteframe.aspx?Fi=SDfd5d9e0ac8248db7!3447&H=emul&C=5_810_BN1-SKY-WAC-WSHI&ui=Ru-RU
(example, not real link)
where
https:/ /onenote.officeapps.live.com/o/onenoteframe.aspx?Fi=SD_____yourIDnumber___!___elementID____&H=emul&C=5_810_BN1-SKY-WAC-WSHI&ui=Ru-RU
OneDrive has a "Copy link" function in a few places that you would think does what it states. However, as soon as you select "Copy link", a share is created with the defaults of your OneDrive (which could be your organisation's). In my case, the default is share with editing permissions. This is probably the last thing you would expect when you are requesting to "Copy link". This is really quite dangerous, since the now shared link could be used by anybody if it subsequently forwarded to others.
Why would you want to copy a link? My use case is that I have a folder shared as read only with specific people. I want to give them a link to a sub-folder or file that they already have access to, but I do not want to create new permissions, that in my case give editing to anybody with the link!
It seems that the way to properly "copy a link" (literally) is as suggested ie copy the URL from the address bar.

UI mock-up in PDF

I want to do a mock-up GUI within a pdf file. Basically, it's a series of pages. If you click button A on a first page, for example, it goes to the third page, if you click button B, it goes to the second page, etc. I want to know if there is tutorial, video for this and what software should I use?
Thanks.
If you have Acrobat (not reader -- standard or professional), creating clickable links within PDFs is as simple as click and drag. E.g. as documented here:
http://www.webmasterworld.com/graphics_multimedia/3439118.htm
"You need the full Standard version of Acrobat or better, go to tools->Advanced Editing->Link tool. Draw a rectangle around the text to link and it will prompt you for link options (in-document, web URL, link colors, etc.)"
The pdf requirement is an odd one and will make this difficult. If you are just looking for a mockup GUI there are better ways to do it!
Here's a free one:

And here is a previous question on this that you might find useful:

Good luck!
Create your GUI mockups with MockupUI and export the designs to a PDF document, one screen per page. Then you can open it in Acrobat and add page links.

Is there a way to display a PDF in an asp.net webpage without frames?

I have a PDF document that needs to be pulled up in the browser, edited, and saved. I can save via the embedded adobe toolbar, along with all the other acrobat functions. But, what I am trying to see is if there is a way to display the PDF in a webpage alongside web controls.
For example, in the top part of the webpage I have a dropdownlist. It has a list of PDFs. I select one and the bottom part of the webpage opens up with the PDF.
Thanks.
Are you looking for something like Scribd's iPaper viewer?
You can embed it on your site or host with them.
This is typically done with an iframe.
Sorry, you'll have to use either Frames, or iFrames. Perhaps you can also get it via an <object> tag, but that might get browser-specific.
I would contact the people at ceTe (makers of DynamicPDF). Their product permits you to dynamically replace your page output with a PDF file but this involves changing the entire page (the mime-type will be pdf). Is it possible to output the page to a panel instead? I don't think so, but they would be the people I would turn to.
