Mine is square.

I love the hyperlinks, It's the main reason I looked into Affinity Publisher Running on Windows 10, AP 1.7.0.238 I have created a few test pages to show my experience with hyperlinks. I have verified that the correct information is in the Hyperlink Properties studio. Some of the links have a new style I have created, all it did was remove the underline and change text to black. It doesn't seem to make any difference which style I use. The file "master test" has a number of links. None of the ones that are on the master pages work. I find that I can not add anything more to the master pages. If I add another master page I can't put anything on it. On "master test2" the links work but, I typed the url address out and linked to that. If I don't type out the url it doesn't work see "master test 4" On "master test4" the links don't work, the url is correct in the hyperlinks suite. In my mind 4 should work the same as 2. On "master test6" both url links work but, the link to page 3 doesn't. Also I have not been able to successfully link more than one thing in a TOC. master test6.pdf master test6.afpub master test4.pdf master test4.afpub master test2.pdf master test2.afpub master test.pdf master test.afpub

Your test case don't work for me It does work but, you have to wait a few seconds before it's active. I just made another test document and mine doesn't work.I added another link you your master. Your link works, mine doesn't. Looking at your file there seems to be an empty box on the master page that shows up in the hyperlinks list.

That's what I'm trying for only, on a pdf file to be read on a reader.

Is it possible to have a hyperlink on a master page that works on all pages?

I've attached a screen shot video of a problem I'm having with, what I call, the target area for a hyperlink. This is a video of an exported pdf file. As I move the cursor down you can see that the area that it turns into a hand gets farther away from the correct line. When I click on a link there is a very quick black flash that, I assume, is that target area. On the first line you can see that it pretty well lines up correctly. By the time I get down to the 8th line if you click on it and get the file for the 7th line. The farther you progress down the worse it gets. These are all links to a file but, I get similar results for other types of hyperlinks. The end of the video shows that the area that I highlighted to make the link isn't as long as what I highlighted. Is there some setting that I can change in the hyperlink style editor that I can make for this target area? There are a lot of choices in the style editors that I don't understand what they are. I have also found no way to make links work in a TOC. When I export to pdf some links work but, most do not. Many end up linking to the wrong place. When you export with a link in a TOC you get a popup that says "The index needs updating" I've tried bot options, "Ignore and continue" or "Fix and continue" with pretty much the same results. I do have the box checked for "Include Hyperlinks" I'm trying to figure out if this is a bug or, some setting I don't have correct. HyperlinkProblem.mp4

Windows 10 OS, Affinity Publisher build 1.7.0.238 I 2 page document with various links. When I export to PDF some ot the links work properly some go to the wrong place and some don't work at all. One that goes to an anchor works. The second one that goes to an anchor doesn't work. The first one that goes to a file works correctly. The next one doesn't work, there is a target area (where the pointer turns to a hand) below the second one but, it goes to the wrong file. The next one doesn't work, target area is below it and does go to the right file. The next link to an anchor doesn't work, On the second page is the anchor that does work, it goes to the first page. The next one is supposed to go to a file but, it goes to the same anchor as the link just above it. The next one is supposed to go to a file, does nothing. One for email doesn't work. The one that is supposed to go to a URL goes to a file. From what I can tell I have everything correct in the hyperlinks studio. I've attached the file but, not the local files that I linked to. hyperlink test.afpub

Thanks, had to do Crtl run-up, reset studio didn't work. I was in a hurry and didn't explain well enough. Hyperlinks export and work unless it is in a TOC. According to the announcement of version 1.7.8.238 Additionally if you create a TOC or Index and request hyperlinks on export the TOC or Index will be furnished with hyperlinks as appropriate. If you either update TOC or let AP update when you do an export the hyperlink in the TOC goes away. If you export without doing the update it looks like a hyperlink but, doesn't work.

How do you view the hyperlinks studio? If I go to View--Studio--Hyperlinks it won't check. Also how do you request hyperlinks on export? I don't see any option for that.

Now that I know how it works, I played with it a bit. I'm using version 227. Shift-click on the arrow does nothing, a regular left click turns the cursor into a frame text tool. With that tool make a frame wherever you want it to continue. You can even jump pages. Alternatively, if you already have another frame text box, you can use the frame text tool you got when you clicked on the arrow , place it in the new box and left click. If that text box had anything in it it will be replaced. You have to have a page to go to, it doesn't create a new page. I also discovered the INDEX tool which is very cool too.

Thanks, that did work but, I had to do it a number of times before it did.

How do I make a TOC that is more than one page long? I found this https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/70468-toc-2-pages/&tab=comments#comment-365270 but, either that isn't what I'm trying to do or I just don't understand the answer.

I just ran into this, I too would like this.

That's good to hear, I too was disappointed there was no hyperlinks

I too have problems with the dark program, what you asked for is there. Go to Edit--Preferences--User interface-- click light color. You can even change that using the sliders. I agree with the tutorials being on the dark background. I have trouble following because of the color.

Thanks the link worked.

How do I get it? When I try to download it wants to download 206.

Thats the version I have. 1.7.0.206

I have had this happen twice, I can't seem to reproduce it. Windows 10 Publisher 1.7.0.206. It hangs up and the only thing I can do is scroll through pages in the main window. The pages section on the left is unresponsive as are all of the tabs including file/edit/document etc. at the top. I've tried waiting to see if perhaps it just needs to "catch up". If I close it the only way to get it to start up again is to uninstall then reinstall. Task manager does not show that it is open. It will not restart even going to the exe file. It does ask to save when closing. When I reinstall it opens to where I left off with, apparently nothing lost. The last time it happened it was working, I did something in another app and when I came back it was locked up. The document is 23 pages with 6 PDFs added. One of the PDFs is 4KB and the others are about 1KB each. It doesn't seem to be a memory problem. All other apps work fine.

Thanks for all the help. I was able to quickly do the same thing on another project.

Alfred and firstdefence, that did the trick, thank you so much for your help. Alfred the apostrophe is there. You can see it in outline mode. I design for Shaper Origin which is a hand held CNC router, the machine "sees" what I see in outline mode.

In this file I successfully combined the letters in the word “hannon” into one closed loop. It is from a font that I converted to curves. I can’t for the life of me do it to the “lace”. I did get the “ac”. I have been working on it for two days now and nothing seems to work. The first one was so easy. I’ve searched and watched videos, I think I’m doing what they say. I didn’t even have to do any research for the first word, I just did what the buttons say. Can anyone help. All I have been able to find on the Affinity forum just says to do what I have been doing.
