Launching PDF from a link in PDF (Orcad PDF Export)

BK2001 over 5 years ago

This post is in response to a youtube video posted by Parallel Systems, UK

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXQCP3ppmDo

At 2:38 the presenter clicks on a part, then clicks on one of the properties (datasheet link) and it spawns the datasheet pdf.

Does anyone know how to make this work?

I've tried Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, but Link: Auto-Create Weblinks from URLs... doesn't do it.

Are there other settings?

This looks like something that is very useful! Should be a customer requirement for the next release!

Hi This is an Adobe Setting so not allot Cadence can do about it I'm afraid, Cadence only generate the PDF file. Open the Adobe Reader and go to Edit - Preferences and look at the Trust Manager. The settings are there.

Hello Steve, I couldn't get it to fly.

Are there Ghostscript arguments to deal with, or should it just work?

There aren't very many settings in Trust Manager and I think I've tried them all.

Got it working - in ALTIUM. It took less than 5 minutes, and I don't even use Altium.

OK in Adobe DC go to Edit - Preferences - Security (Enhanced) and uncheck enable protected mode at startup. Restart DC Reader and try again.

Still can't get it to work. I give up.

Dear Cadence, this feature is officially a customer requirement especially since the other competitor already has it.

Please catch up.

Hello Steve,

I tried web address (http) and a mapped network drive( not that I really wanted to use that). (why am i I even trying?)

I think Cadence should benchmark what Altium's doing because with zero fuss, it just does it. And not just one link, one for each supplier.

Sorry I fell into the rabbit hole, but I'm running away from it now. Until Cadence makes this a feature I'm not messing with it.

I'm focusing on Documentation Editor now and what fun that there is NO EDITING templates in the PCB Designer version. (BUMMER)
