Hyperlink text for Affinity Designer


Recommended Posts

Hey!

I hope it reaches someone from Serif. My point is that for a lot of us who exclusively use the Affinity Suite, there are such small things that when you need them, they seem like a pain in the ass.
Today's example is the option to hyperlink text in Affinity Designer. It bothers specially since I've found other people asking for it even in 2016!

So that'd be my request... That we do not end 2020 without the option to be able to hyperlink text in AD.

Thanks.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums forum :)

Some text features are reserved for Affinity Publisher and I don't know if this is one that will transfer to Designer or remain Publisher only

This is such a simple feature and since you have already implemented it in Publisher it should be a simple thing to add it to designer.

As it is now, I need a second piece of software to add hyperlinks to exported PDF documents. Seems to me that it should be a part of Designer!

Hi,

Is this already possible in Designer for v.2.x?? Cannot find anything on this....
I -can- open the file in Publisher and add hyperlinks there, but it would be nice to have this functionality in Designer as well...

Hyperlinks are still a function limited to Publisher, and my guess is that they will remain a Publisher-only function.

It is a bit silly though, as the PDF exporter does allow checking hyperlinks as a option from Designer.
But workaround it is..... ;)

Designer can Open documents created by Publisher, so the option is needed there.

I know, but it can be a bit confusing at first ;)
