Link Button in PDF Doesn't Work - pdf

I have a FileMaker Pro 11 layout containing a button with an action of "open URL." When the layout is saved as a PDF, the button appears but no longer works (clicking on it doesn't do anything). Is there a way to save as PDF with the PDF containing a working "open URL" button?
Thank you,
Ben

You have to be in browse mode for your button to work. You are probably in preview mode. Buttons don't work in preview mode (which makes sense as it is just a preview of what will be printed).

Any way to make a simple page link in Adobe Acrobat?

So I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC and want to create a link to another page in the PDF. Is there any way to make a simple "go to page X" link without having to scroll though hundreds of pages to get the page manually? I want to be able to create a link to go to a page number with Inherent Zoom, but so far the only way I have found to do so is to create link, scroll all the way down to the page, and then edit the link after the fact. Surely there is an easier way to do this?
The link dialog is modal but the destination dialog box is non-modal. Just draw out the link, select "Go to a page view", hit the "Next" button. When the "Create go to view" dialog pops up, type in the page number you want in the main toolbar, set the zoom you want then hit Set Link.

PDFtron close a tool when doing Frame.GoBack()

Im using PDFtron on a windows store app project.
I have a page with a back button and a pdf viewer where i can edit the pdfs.
When im editing a pdf i have a tool bar with options like the ones in the samples, but i have a issue when i choose a Free Text tool and start writing on the pdf, if i press the back button while the Free Text tool is active ( the cursor is bliking) the text i wrote appears in the screen on the next page i navigate to.
How can i solve this?
The TextBox in question is part of the PDFViewCtrlTools that are used to create annotations. It is shipped with the sample application and is fully open source.
The TextBox is inside a popup, positioned to align itself on top of the PDFViewCtrl in the position where you tapped.
This TextBox needs to be closed before you go back. It is quite easy to do so by calling ToolManager.CreateDefaultTool(). In general, I would recommend taking a look at the samples and see what they're doing when the user tries to navigate away from the page.
Everytime you navigate away from a page with PDFViewCtrl, the ToolManager should call CreateDefaultTool so that whatever current tool is active (in this case the FreeTextCreate tool) can close itself and clean up.

Visual Basic - download from WebBrowser

I'm pretty new to visual basic, but have been looking far and wide and have had no luck finding an answer to this anywhere. I've used WebBrowser to navigate to a webpage. On this page there's a link to click which will then download a csv file.
I've got my program to click this link using:
WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("elementID").InvokeMember("click")
But I'm not sure how to handle the 'file download' dialog box that pops up. One way, I'm thinking, is to use sendkeys to click the 'save' button, but this seems a bit clunky.
I'm wondering if I can use FileDownload somehow to handle this box before it pops up. (Microsoft's documentation says: "If a file download dialog box can be displayed, this event fires prior to the appearance of the dialog box.")
Any know if this is possible or do you have any other smart ideas for solving this problem?

How to click on Open/save/save as/cancel button on IE 11 using vba

I would like to click on open when a file download dialog appear in IE 11. I found this code http://www.siddharthrout.com/2011/10/23/vbavb-netvb6click-opensavecancel-button-on-ie-download-window/
But this code does not work with IE11. I have also attached the IE11 download dialog box here too. Anyone has any idea, please, help.
You can use Alt+N to focus on the Notification Bar.
And then send {tab} key to navigate to the specific button.
With VBA, you may use Autohotkey.dll or AutoItX3.dll to send these hotkey combinations.

Disable Adobe Reader toolbar from my ActiveX

I am loading a PDF document in my ActiveX using AxAcroPDFLib and iTextSharp libraries. I want to disable the toolbar (that have Save, Print etc options) from the loaded PDF so that user cannot 'Save' the PDF from ActiveX.
I have following code:
axAcroPDF1.Width = someWidth;
axAcroPDF1.Height = someHeight;
axAcroPDF1.LoadFile(documentPath);
axAcroPDF1.setPageMode("none");
axAcroPDF1.setShowToolbar(false);
axAcroPDF1.Show();
axAcroPDF1.Focus();
The axAcroPDF1.setShowToolbar(false) disables the toolbar but the other gray toolbar enables at the bottom ( as shown in figure on this link) of PDF when I move mouse in that area. That toolbar also have saving option in it and I want to disable this one as well.
It would be really nice if it allows to disable only 'Save' option and keep the other options enabled on toolbar.
I success using
this.axAcroPDF1.src = filePath + "#toolbar=0";
You are asking something that is impossible. Please read this thread dating from December 2011. You'll find a snippet where Leonard Rosenthol, Adobe's PDF architect says: "there is no way to hide the toolbar (or the HUD) in the browser."
Setting the toolbar to false works for the toolbar, but you are referring to the "Heads Up Display" (HUD). As documented by Adobe, there is no way to customize this feature, let me quote Adobe:
the "Heads Up Display" (HUD) is not customizable. There are no APIs to
HUD. You can’t use JavaScript to enter Read Mode, exit Read Mode or
detect that the document is in Read Mode. Though it might seem like
it, this wasn’t an oversight. There are some very sound engineering
reasons why this is the case but I won’t go into those here.
I got succeed using
axAcroPDF.src = filepath + "#toolbar = 0"
