Viewing Links to an Attachment on iPad

Report · Jun 03, 2017

Initially, I created a manual in WORD and saved it as a PDF. Subsequently, using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, I attached a pdf document to the manual and I created many links it. I edited the links so that a new window opens up to review the applicable data. When the reader has finished viewing the data linked to the attachment, he/she simply closes that window and is returned to the manual. Works great on the laptop.

However, it does not work on the iPad. After opening the manual, I press on the link to view the data in the attachment and it does not do a thing. Here are the apps that I have tried without success:

1. iBooks

2. Goodreader

3. Adobe Acrobat

4. Foxit PDF

I see the attachment associated with the manual but the link will not open to the applicable place in the attached document.

It is crucial that this works. I would appreciate a solution to this problem.

Thanks in advance,

D

Hi Davidh30279744,

The functionality of the desktop application and mobile application are quite different.

You get limited access of the features in mobile app than a desktop app. Everything and every function that you work on a desktop application might or might not get in the mobile app.

Adobe Acrobat Reader mobile app has limited functions than desktop version. And if non of the PDF reader application allowing you to see those attachments then it might not be supported on mobile app.
