I'd like to thank Rick Quatro, on this list, for taking the time to solve a problem that has been most vexing to me. For a number of years, since Adobe purchased FrameMaker and discontinued the freebie FrameReader, I have been reduced to using Acrobat to create PDFs to distribute my work product to Thoreau scholars via my website [1]www.kouroo.info. However, my various PDF documents on this website, a number of thousands of them, are connected among one another by tens of thousands of internal hotlinks, taking the user from one PDF document, say a document about a book checked out from Harvard Library by Henry Thoreau, to another PDF document, say a document I have created about the life of the author of that book. All these hotlinks are between one of the PDF documents I have personally created in this protected space, and some other of the PDF documents I have personally created in this protected space. None take the reader outside, into any danger.
Suddenly, however, the rules have been changed. Changed secretly, without notification. Safari invalidated my hotlinks. When my users click on the hotlinks, they are free to consider me some sort of fool who does not know how to create such hotlinks, because nothing happens. I became like that frustrated mime in the public park, who can't figure out how to get out of the invisible glass box. What Rick has helped figure out is that, in the latest versions of Safari and Acrobat, each of my scholars must individually go into his or her Safari browser's preferences/security settings, and specifically instruct the program that he or she trusts my [2]www.kouroo.info website. Then my PDF hotlinks continue to work -- exactly as they have always functioned in Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser!
