Number Keyboard cannot be used to type numbers in Add Hyperlink function

[Tanya Y.]

Hi there!

I have recently added a separate number keyboard to the main one, in order to improve ergonomics, because I create large pdf files with thousands of hyperlinks (object to page). Unfortunately I cannot find a way to use it with the Add Hyperlink function. When I try to type the Page Nr to which I want to direct the hyperlink, the number keyboard change the opacity of the object I want to add the link. I am aware that it is normal to regulate the opacity by selecting an object and then give the opacity value with the numpad, but in my case I try to enter a numeric value in the field of Page Nr. 

When typing in Text field or any other function filed (e.g. font size, stroke size, etc) there is no issue.

 

Has anyone had such an issue and is there any solution and/or workaround?

 

thanks!

That sounds like you don't have the focus on the Add Hyperlink dialog. Make sure you've clicked in the page number field in the box before you try typing the number.

Hi!
This was also my first assumption, but even the focus is for sure on the add hyperlink dialog, I cannot type in number via the number keyboard.

Fortunately, it came out it is not bug in Publisher I found a solution proposed in Apple community forum. I will attach the link (hope this is not against the forum rules), in case other users have the same issue like me.  P.S. the steps that corrected it are in the last paragraph of the linked post.
