Pegasus Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) MacOS Catalina 10.15.7, Publisher v 1.9.1. 2 similar 1 page documents have a table. In 1 cell of table there are 2 different url hyperlinks - the text for each both show correct link in Publisher (and rechecked several times). They have been exported as "pdf (digital-high quality)" - these pdfs are to be published on a website. When opening both pdfs the link for 1 has overwritten the link for the other - hovering over or clicking on either link shows/opens the same url. All other links (url/email) work correctly. The 2 hyperlinked texts occur in the cell adjacent to "Location" (column 2, row 2) How can I get the links to show/open the correct assigned urls?

Pegasus Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 I thought I'd have a play while waiting: The following still produced the unwanted link: Deleting the text that had the url that was overwriting the other url deleting all text in cell but then adding filler text also: the row below also showed/activated the offending link - even though there were no links added in this row overwriting the text, by cutting/pasting, had no effect If I deleted all text in cell and left it blank - no links showing/activated in the cell So in the end I had to delete the whole row and re-enter from scratch. This has solved the problem. I can now put in more than 1 link in a cell and they work as they should (although I'm going to leave just 1 in now). Did I somehow associate the whole row (and the 1 below) with 1 of the links? How? If anyone has an answer, I'd be interested to know what caused this.

It's hard to answer without seeing your .afpub. I didn't get issues with 2 different links within 1 cell. Also overwriting an existing text link with another for the entire row does work. It seems to be possible to assign a link to an entire row or column. But in my test it was recognizable in the Hyperlink panel, respectively its various entries. For instance here 2 cells contain a space char only, the 3rd a fullstop. The Hyperlinks panel shows 3 links for this column, one for each cell – although only 1 got set and applied for the selected column. All of this 3 panel entries don't show text. In the exported PDF the cursor reacts for all 3 cells of this column: Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
