JoolsB Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I am creating an interactive PDF for a company, and as part of that I am putting hyperlinks in for their customers to go to certain web pages. I have a problem with twitter addresses, some work fine others add %20 at the end and say that the pages do not exist. I have checked the hyperlink target within Affinity and it works fine - as soon as I export as PDF the problem starts - Any thoughts?

Joachim_L Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) Welcome to the Affinity forums @JoolsB! %20 stands for a space character. So check if some of your URLs end with a space and remove it. This should be moved to feature requests as spaces at the end of an URL should be trimmed automatically. You should change the topic title to something more meaningful, describing in short words what your problem is all about.

Staff MEB Posted February 24, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 24, 2021 Hi @JoolsB, Welcome to Affinity Forums Check if there's a space at the end of the url's that add the %20. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoolsB Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 thanks for the advice - will check it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted February 24, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 24, 2021 I've reproduced and logged this. If removing the space doesn't fix it please attach the document for inspection (i can provide an upload link if you wish to keep the file private - just let me know). The hyperlinks with the space at the end should also fail in app if you click the Go to Target button on the bottom of the Hyperlinks panel - you probably checked an hyperlink without a space at the end if they did work for you...

JoolsB Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 Have just gone through all the links and you were spot on, there was a space at the end of the links. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted February 24, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 24, 2021 Can you confirm if you are using macOS please? Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MEB Posted February 24, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 24, 2021 Thanks for your support. This was already fixed in the current Customer Beta for Windows. It's still failing on macOS though. The fix will be included in the next retail update 1.9.1 (at least for Windows) which should be out very soon.
