dfuent Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Hello, I have a question before I purchase Affinity Publisher. I need to transform a 30-chapter (305 pages) pdf into individual blog posts to use with other posts (lessons) on a subscription site. Most pages of my existing pdf have 1-4 graphic files (written musical examples) which play when clicked via hyperlinks. I'm hoping to avoid re-linking each graphic file individually. Will this be possible with Affinity Publisher? I've attached a few pages of the introductory chapter. Thanks in advance, David fom-ebook-excerpt-from-intro.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stepaan Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Although I checked "Include hyperlinks", "Include Bookmarks" and "Allow Advanced Features", it seems, Publisher cannot pass over the embedded links. Untitled.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When importing a PDF file, hyperlinks in the file are not included.

dfuent Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 Many thanks for this response. I used InDesign about 14 years ago to create the original pdf. From all I've heard about Publisher, it seems just as powerful and way more user friendly. My heart leapt, but alas... cheers, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stepaan Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 So the only way is to place an invisible rectangle over all links... Untitled.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
