Zignice Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I have a page with several hyperlinks, but when I view the hyperlinks panel it does not show any. When I export the document the hyperlinks do work so I must have put them in the correct way. When I select the text and right-click to >interactive >Insert Hyperlink I see a dialog box with the URL.

walt.farrell Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Are the hyperlinks directly on the document page, or were they put there by a Master Page? I think the studio does not show hyperlinks that are really on a Master Page.

Staff Dan C Posted November 14, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 14, 2019 Thanks for your file, I've been able to replicate your issue in the current retail version (1.7.3) however this bug has already been fixed in our 1.8 beta. As you can see from the following screenshot, the Hyperlink Studio is correctly populated - You can find a download link for the latest Mac beta here - I hope this helps!

jbatten Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I'm having a problem with hyperlinks. Added them, but it doesn't work. Tried using it in pdf, preview print, etc on the Mac and it doesn't link to anything. I have to use Microsoft Word to link the actual word when it's all done. Went through the whole process. Text, interactive, hyperlink, url, etc. copied exact url and paste. nothing works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbatten Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I sent .afpub file to dropbox. Still waiting to see if you can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted January 15, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 15, 2020 My sincerest apologies, we don't receive a notification when files are uploaded, so I was awaiting confirmation here - although I could have made this clearer. I opened your file in Publisher, then navigated to View>Studio>Hyperlinks. This shows me that 2 Hyperlinks are applied to your document, one to the Text Frame object and one to the text itself - both of which link to the same web address. I then exported the document to PDF (using the PDF (for export) preset) and opened the resulting PDF in Acrobat. Here, the hyperlink works as expected, with a cursor change when you hover over the object and one click launches the webpage - Could you please confirm, what Export settings were you using from Affinity for your PDF?

jbatten Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 thanks very much. it works in pdf mode. I was saving it as an image, png or jpeg and it wouldn't work from the MAC preview. Therefore, I would have to save it as pdf, which is okay. Dan C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way that a hyperlink could be functional in an image file, so they really only make sense when exporting to PDF or PSD.

I have never tried exporting an .afpub document with hyperlinks to the PSD format.

Staff Dan C Posted January 22, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 22, 2020 AFAIK Photoshop (and therefore .PSDs) don't natively support hyperlinks, as Photoshop uses the Slice tool to create a HTML sidecar file and therefore the hyperlink won't be retained in a .PSD from Affinity - however if anyone knows more in regards to PS/.PSDs than I do I'd be more than happy to learn! walt.farrell and R C-R 2 Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

That's right, see for example here or this video here. - Further generally in order to be able to support and include hyperlinks (link references), a certain file format must be in some way container oriented structured. walt.farrell and Dan C 2 Quote ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
