tonywaghorn Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Hi, What aren't Hyperlinks in PDF export on by default? Or at least be intelligent and see that there are hyperlinks and ask? I've just spent 1/2hr re-adding the hyperlinks in Acrobat after adding Interactive element in Affinity. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are, unless you create a PDF for printing, where they wouldn't make any sense.

Staff Callum Posted July 30, 2021 Staff Share Posted July 30, 2021 If you go to File > Export and select PDF then hit the more button please ensure include hyperlinks is ticked.

tonywaghorn Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share Posted July 30, 2021 @Callum Thanks - I found that, it was more that it wasn't obvious (having added hyperlinks in Publisher) that they weren't enabled until after creating the PDF - and why they weren't enabled. (and More menu is pretty hidden) Could it be added to Preflight check? - ie. you have hyperlinks in your document .... OR - I would promote Printers Marks and Hyperlinks to the main screen (why print Bleed without crop marks?) @walt.farrellYes - but I guess it would make no difference to the Print version if Hyperlinks were enabled by default? I have now saved some Presets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't the word "more" suggest to you that if you press a button with that name that you will see more options?

tonywaghorn Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 @R C-R But if you never expect an option to exist, you generally don't go looking. I can't see any reason why Hyperlinks should ever be turned off? In print they are just ignored, but if you are producing a online/screen would you ever add hyperlinks and then decide not to produce a doc with an active table of contents, cross-references or manually added links? My assumption was that Publisher was failing in the PDF export process. I think my starting point was a PDF print preset, which I then downsampled the DPI and unchecked bleeds and so Hyperlinks stayed off. I think it's something so key to PDF that Crop Marks and Hyperlinks should be promoted to the main export tab for PDF saves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
