Hyperlinks broken after updating to 9.3.4

Aug 31, 2010 9:37 AM

Since updating Adobe Standard to 9.3.4, all our hyperlinks are broken.  It appears that if we put the linked document (Excel or Word) in the same path as the PDF (ie; both PDF and document are on the desktop) then the links work.  However, the way our files are set up, all the PDF's are in one directory and all the linked documents are in a different location.  They worked fine prior to the update; now none of them work.

 

I have tested this on two other computers.  Works fine prior to running the update.  Once the update is installed, none of the links work.

    We are having the same issues when trying to launch a wmv file. I entered in a bug report I guess it is just a waiting game now.

    I've also entered a bug report for the issue for Pro Extended 9.3.4.

     

    If you are lucky enough to also have Reader 9.3.3 or earlier installed, the linking will still work correctly in Reader (and now I have to remember to NOT update Reader when I'm prompted until they get this fixed).  I assume if you update Reader it will have the same issue, since it's the same security patch/fix.

     

    The most annoying thing is that you can't uninstall the 9.3.4 patch to resolve the issue.

    As a workaround, you can try the following:

     

    Keep both the PDF and Office document in the same folder.

    If the office document is on a network location, then keep the PDF as well on the same network location and create a shortcut on the desktop to access that PDF.

    Also, if you use File > Open to open the PDF, the hyperlinks to non-PDF files may not work correctly. So as a workaround double click the PDF file to open it.

    Hope that helps!

    I am still having problems trying to open a wmv file. I put the wmv in the same folder as the pdf yet it still will not open for me.

     

    I have a pdf in a root that links to a pdf \folder\folder\1.pdf then that links to a 2.pdf in the same folder. Then 2.pdf has a link to open a wmv that is in the same folder.

     

    Help on this will be greatly appreciated.

    Have you had any more response from Adobe about this? I hope they aren't still giving

    you the run around.

    Sorry!  I am afraid I don't have much leverage to help either.

     

    I am just trying to get as many people as I can to submit bug reports so if enough people complain they might be forced to do something about it.

    I had quite a few people in my office submit a bug report. Crossing fingers this new update will fix this issue.

    I just downloaded Reader version 9.4 and it seems to have fixed the issue I was having with trying to open wmv files. Hopefully everyone else is having the same luck I am.
