Hyperlink set doesn't export right

[yanksno1]

Hi, on my resume I set an hyperlink to have a https on it (www.domain.com). But when I go to export it to a pdf, it exports it as http://www.domain.com without the s. I've tried setting it as a https://www.domain.com/ in the actual link itself just to see what happens and then it exports it with the s correctly. So not having https in front is causing it not to export it right. Am I doing something wrong here?

West do your mean by "on my resume I set an hyperlink to have a https on it (www.domain.com)"? 

It sounds like you only put www.domain.com and assumed that https would be added? Can you show us exactly what you had?

When I highlight www.domain.com and right click, I go to Edit Hyperlink... and in the Hyperlink Properties I have it set to https://www.domain.com/. But when I go to export it, it leaves the s off. Hopefully I explained it right there.

Thanks. What Export Preset did you use, and can you show us the complete Export options, including the Advanced section (especially the Hyperlinks option)?

My guess: you didn't include Hyperlinks in the exported file, and the PDF viewer you used automatically recognized the www.domain.com and turned it into it's own hyperlink, using http.

Thanks! Didn't have hyperlinks checked, guess that's what was causing the issue. Appreciate the help.

You're welcome. That can be a tricky one, especially with viewers being helpful and creating their own links

I used PDF For Print and then checked Included Hyperlinks. That seemed to do the trick.

Thanks. Yes, PDF for Print has Hyperlinks disabled, as they make no sense in a printed document.

That makes sense, but wouldn't that take them off completely? A link was still being generated. What preset should I use there?

No, a link was not being generated in the PDF.

Rather, the PDF viewer you chose to use looked at your www.domain.com and said "hey, that looks like it should have been a link" and turned it into one. But, without your text having a complete link, the viewer assumed http.
