I have a folder containing a Word-document (MS Office 2010), which has hyperlinks to some files within the same folder as the word document. However, these hyperlinks work only on my computer. Someone else with this folder cannot access these hyperlinks.
I want the links to work on any harddrive which contains this folder.
What do I do?
Is there any other way to address this problem? Basically the hyperlinks in the word file should work for anyone with the document. Is there some website on which these files can be uploaded, so that clicking on the word-hyperlink points to the corresponding URL?,
Make sure that your links are of the form file://./DocName.ext#location and then the links should point to the local folder - zip the lot for distribution.

Putting together a .doc file with a table of content with links to external files. The challenge is: how to make them so that it points to the given file in the current folder regardless of its location on the disk.
Context: I will be sending the set of files to another person, so I can't put the path on my machine, nor on a server since they will be working offline. They will be working on Remarkable device and I want them to be able to use the major overview file with the links to access each of the files, rather than having to browse the folders.
I would like to upload the pdf of a paper on my new google site. Specifically, I want that people can click on, say, "paper_title" and can visualize the pdf and, if they want, download it.
I would like if possible a step-by-step explanation.
Thanks!
This is fairly straightforwards:
Firstly, store the PDF files on Google Drive and, set the link sharing as appropriate (e.g. anyone with link can view) so even anonymous internet users can see the file.
To make the PDF available via Google Sites you can either:
From Drive, copy the link to the file, and in new Sites insert a text box and
include the hyperlink to the PDF file in the text box.
in new Sites Insert (From Drive) and select the PDF file from the Google Drive; gives the same result as above, but with a re-sizable thumbnail picture of the PDF file instead of a link.
Exactly what happens after they click on the link is going to depend upon what browser the user is using, and what (if any) PDF viewer plugin is installed. Chrome, pretty much does what you want: it opens the PDF file in a viewer, from where you can download it.
Even if you don't store the PDF on Google Drive, what is described above should still work, as long as you have a hyperlink to the PDF file.
I wan't to create a PDF document, which contains hyperlinks to local files. E.g. when the PDF is downloaded, along with some files, the PDF contains hyperlinks to these files. Is this possible to achieve, and if so, how?
You could try the following. This method works in general for linking local files to HTML documents.
Link 1
Link 2
Notice the file:/// (3 slashes) before the location.
I am going to developing an application, which is an epub. I have PDF files. I need to make those files as reflowable content(epub)... Then only the PDF files will be viewable in mobiles, tablets... etc.. Please suggest the solutions to make reflowable contents from the PDF...
If you don't mind using an open source software, go with Sigil.
If you want to learn innards of how to create by hand, or some tool of your own, Follow this. (This is a one month course, So you will not get all the content in one day, though).
Create the folder structure.
In a folder of your choice, create the following: META-INF (folder), OEBPS (folder), mimetype ( a file with exactly same name ).
Put application/epub+zip in the file mimetype. No spaces no lines.
Convert your PDF to text format. In Adobe acrobat, you will have file > export> .
Read the content from PDF, you will find some conclusions of how you can split them in to chapters or sub reading topics. Split according to the understanding of the book, and make so many text files.
Make sub folder structure. Make Images, Text, Styles (folders) content.opf, toc.ncx (files) inside OEBPS folder.
Put all your split files in Text folder created in step 5.
put all images extracted in pdf in Images folder
Put any styles (not describing here,) in Styles folder.
In the META-INF folder created in step 1, create a file called container.xml and fill with the following: <?xml version="1.0"?><container version="1.0" xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:container"> <rootfiles> <rootfile full-path="OEBPS/content.opf" media-type="application/oebps-package+xml"/> </rootfiles></container>.
If you are able to do these many things sincerely, ping again, I would try to tell you what you should put in content.opf, and toc.ncx in created in step 5.
As an example, You can use some example from my site. Download from here and use them with caution. Do not distribute.

I want to make a "master" list or document library on our sharepoint site of links that point to various documents on across our different sites but also ones located in the filesystem eg. \someshare\somefile
I would like have to have the ability to sort these links in folders. I know I can use a list and set the group by columns, but that only gives me a folder structure that is 2 levels deep.
The "Link to Document" content type that can be added to a docoument library works fine for point to documents in sharepoint, but it requres that the url starts with http or https. Is there any way to add a link to a document library that will point to files located on a network share? Note: Due to some large file sizes uploading these files to sharepoint is not an option.
Thanks in advance.
For anyone who has this same problem I found an excellent and simple solution here: http://os.com/blog/linking-to-file-shares-from-sharepoint-document-libraries
Basically it involves modifying one of your layout files to accept file:// at the start of a link.
EDIT:
That link has dissapeared so here is the fix:
Find the file newlink.aspx on your Sharepoint web server(s). Located here by default: Drive:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\newlink.aspx
Whenever making any changes to layout files I recommend creating a backup of the just in case.
Add the following function to the script section:
function HasValidUrlPrefix_Override(url)
{
var urlLower=url.toLowerCase();
if (-1==urlLower.search(“^http://”) && -1==urlLower.search(“^https://”) && -1==urlLower.search(“^file://”))
return false;
return true;
}
Now you have you to change the ValidateInput() and TestDir() functions to call the function you just added. Change every instance of HasValidUrlPrefix(folderUrl) to HasValidUrlPrefix_Override(folderUrl). There should be 2 instances to change. On my original unedited file they were lines 43 and 62.
Save the changes and run iisreset.
