How to enter url in browser to open PDF file to bookmark - pdf

I entered a bookmark for a chapter title "Introduction" on page 2 and when I try to open the PDF file in a browser to this bookmark, it appears correctly in Chrome on page 2, but Safari and Firefox always open the file on page 1.
I'm using Acrobat X Pro. The url I'm using is:
https://www.mydomain.com/path/to/myPdfFile.pdf#nameddest=Introduction
Is bookmark the same as named destination?
Anyone familiar with Acrobat X Pro can shed some light on this?
How does one create a named destination if not by creating a bookmark?

I found the answer. A bookmark is NOT a named destination.
To view the named destinations:

Basically, you need to do this:
Choose View > Show/Hide > Navigation Panes > Destinations. All destinations are automatically scanned.
To add a named destination:

Basically, do this:
Navigate to the location where you want to create a destination, and set the desired view. In the Destinations panel, choose New Destination from the options menu , and name the destination. Save the target document.

PDF file link question - can I link to a different page within the same file?

This question is about PDF format files, not JS or HTML. Inside a PDF file, I'd like to create a link to another page within the same file. This is useful for Table of Contents type page that needs to link to other pages. But the "Add Link" item in PDF editor in Acrobat doesn't seem to have this as an option -- only the opening of web links, or "documents" (external files, not the current one), etc. Welcome any pointers.
Of course, that's possible.
In the Link tool, you first set the active area (that's where you click to go to the destination.
In a first dialog, Acrobat asks for the properties of the active area. In the Link Action area, select Go to a page view. After clicking on Next, you get a next dialog, directing you to navigate to the target view (page and zoom factor). Confirm, and you have set up your link…

How to copy only specific page content of pdf to clipboard?

I had tried to copy the whole document(which is in pdf format) to notepad and word but now I want to move at some specific page of document let say 3 and I want to store the content only of that page to the clipboard. Is there any way to do that?
Till all I know is how to store the whole document in the clipboard.
program acrord32
keyboard ⋘ALT⋙⋘DOWN⋙⋘3⋙
keyboard ⋘CTRL+A⋙⋘CTRL+C⋙
♥doc1 = ♥clipboard
Using keyboard CTRL+A in Adobe Acrobat always select ALL text in WHOLE ALL pages.
But there are other options.
This option is available in NOT FREE version in example "Acrobat Standard DC" or "Acrobat Pro DC". Unfortunatelly these versions are paid applications. In these version has function named "Extract pages" and you can specify that each page as separate file. After extraction you have any file with once page and you can using CTR+A :)
But we have alternative option by using google chrome. Open PDF file in google chrome and send file to print with change printer as "Save as PDF". There you can specify page as new file PDF.

Downloading Files from a Crystal Report

I have a crystal report I am trying to pull images, word docs, and zip files onto the report as a downloadable hyperlink so that whoever prints the report will have the ability to download the "attachment" they choose locally to their desktop.
The files are stored in folders on a database server. The view in the database named "vAttachmentsReport" contains the file path which points to the folders where the images, word docs, and zip files are stored. I have attempted to create a formula:
however, still no luck. I haven't found much information or any articles/examples of anyone else doing this. Has anyone else seen any examples or created something similar?
I'm not sure about doing this in eclipse, but if you open it up in the Crystal Report Editor you can right click > Format Field and go to the Hyperlink tab. This tab gives you several options for linking other files, websites, ect. via Hyperlinks. Since your database field already has the location, I would recommend adding the name of the file from your database as a field in the report and in its Hyperlink tab select the 'A Website on the Internet' radio button. Then click the formula button and enter the name of the database field that contains your file path.
Note: this will only work if you can enter the file path into your Internet Browser's address bar and download the file. If that doesn't work you may need to add a prefix to the formula with the server's name or the website's name. To this up: you need the whole website address like "http://textfiles.com/100/914bbs.txt" as a result of your Hyperlink formula.

Change PDF title in browser window

I have a pdf file that I am putting on a website for a client. It is located here...
http://www.optiphysicaltherapy.com/dev/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/OPTI_NewPatientForms.pdf
The title should be OPTI New Patient Forms but if you look at the tab in the browser and the name at the top of the browser window it says "Coury And..."
Where can I go to change this?
The website is using Wordpress 3.8.1 and I am not sure if it is in Wordpress or in the actual pdf file.
Thank you,
Matt
Ok, So I found out how to change the meta-data in a .pdf form here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7c63.w.html (dead link; archived version here)
Sure enough the Title in the Meta Data within the .pdf was "Coury And..."
Once I changed this the Tab and the Title in Firefox web browser changed to have the title that I wanted.
This shows us that the meta-data in the .pdf does show in Firefox as if it were the meta-title of the webpage when displaying a .pdf within the browser.
Open the PDF with Notepad++ and search (CTRL+F) for /Title
Change title between brackets (and leave the brackets)
For instance:
Change "/Title (OLD TITLE)" into "/Title (This is my new title)"
Save the PDF and Voila
If you have access to the Word document in which the PDF is based, you can define the title when you save the file.
Whatever was on that link, I did it opening the PDF with a hex editor (HxD) and searching Title, so I found /Title (untitled) somewhere and just edited it (changed the value between parentheses, here untitled).
no need to change in meta of pdf. just to following change in iframe url
http://localhost:8080/getDataPDF//?patientId=145. use // to solve this problem it can hide your title.
Open the PDF document in Adobe Acrobat Pro: (OR use google chrome extension)
(1) Go to Select File > Properties
(2) Select the Description tab to view the metadata in the document, including the document information dictionary
(3) Modify the Title field to add or change the document's Title entry
When you open pdf in chrome you can hit print and save as pdf. As file name write what you want as title in browser, it should be the same now.
Open File > Properties, then in the box labeled 'Title', add your title.
Click on the 'Initial View' tab, where it says Show:, make sure the drop down says 'Document Title' instead of 'File Name'. This works for Chrome, but sadly not IE yet.
For change my pdf tittle I just open it on nano terminal, or with another text editor that open the raw, and I edit the Title field.
The title can be changed inside MS Office or LibreOffice if you have access to the source by going to file/properties/description.
As another answer suggested, printing as a PDF works here if you have the source document. What the other answer perhaps got wrong was that there is an option to add a title in the print dialog.
You can also use this online pdf editor to change metadata of a pdf file.
The title does not come from the pdf. it comes from the word file you export it from.
Right click on the word file, go to details. change the title and export again
Good luck

How do I hyperlink from a PDF file to a specific page in a PPT file

I have a PowerPoint 2010 file saved as a PowerPoint Macro-enabled show (.ppsm) file. I have a hyperlink on a particular page of the PPSM and I've linked it to a PDF file. Great, it all works.
Now I need to put a hyperlink in the PDF file that will jump me back to the specific page in the PPSM, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. The information in another thread says to add "#15" (the page number) to the filename, but the link seems to put the entire file path. I also get an error that this is not a valid file name. I want to be able to just store the files together in the same directory and have them find each other with the file name, not the whole path.
All assistance gratefully accepted.
If you're running the slide show and link to a PDF file, the show is still running and sitting on the slide you linked from.
All you need to add to the PDF is a link that closes the PDF or possibly quits Acrobat/Reader altogether.
Open the PDF in Acrobat, add a link, choose Custom Link, click Next.
In Link Properties dialog box, go to the Actions tab
Select Action: Execute a menu item.
Click Add to get a list of available menu items, choose File, Close
or File, Exit.
If you need to return to some other page than the one you started on in PPT, it gets a bit trickier.
