Uwe-R-aus-B Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Hi there at Affinity forums, I created a calender for a "remarkable" or any other device, being able to "read" pdf files with hyperlinks. I realized one or two mistakings, where I forgot to create a hyperlink to just one page (in February 29th). Without losing my already used calender I wanted to download that calender, repair it and upload it again, realizing that all already existing hyperlinks are not linked anymore - of course? - so I am asking wether there is a way to repair an already existing and fully functioning PDF or not? Thanks in advance and Kind regards, Uwe 2024-clock-MY-VERSION.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 There are also a bunch of PDF Online Tools for such purposes, as far as your doc isn't to huge for their usage. But first make of course a copy/backup of your PDF file. https://www.sejda.com/pdf-editor https://www.pdffiller.com/de/functionality/add-link-article.htm ... pdf online tools edit add hyperlink Quote ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacerto Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Check if this fixes it. The links were created using Adobe Acrobat Pro 2020, but I think they could be easily created also with PDF-XChange Editor (available only for Windows, but a perpetual license at about EUR80). PS. I replaced the original as I forgot to add link on pages 2 and 4. I tested also PDF-XChange, and it was even easier with that tool as it could paste a link exactly on the same location on successive pages, so it needed to be placed only once. 2024-clock-MY-VERSION_fixed.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Ideally, in the future, when creating the file you would Export the PDF and also Save a .afpub file. To make changes, you would Open the .afpub, them Export to PDF again after making the changes.

Uwe-R-aus-B Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 Of course I also have an existing afpub. , my issue, as I already had some notations this year so far, I didn't want to lose any of the previous notations. So I needed to add just that link from February, 29th to the existing page from Feb-29th, which I did now with the PDF Expert for Mac within the Test for 7days version. It was one of the links "pdf-online tools …". PDF filler and sejda went restricted for my calender with more than 200 pages. So finally I was able THX v_kyr to repair my job in less than 10 minutes - checked also for all too big links and wondering if for future calenders there is a better way, working with anchors? Anyway, I was able to repair it, it works, of course the existing "remarkable" annotations are gone but that is not too bad, as it is no problem to keep my "old" calender as well, in case I need to change or copy something from the past to my "new" calender. For lacerto, also a big THX, I try to avoid Adobe as much as possible and thanks for the new file as well, but of course I needed to repair the already filled in calender on my side. What I shared here - btw feel free to use "2024-clock-MY-VERSION" and change it to your needs in Affinity. If one wants top have the original afpub., just ask and after I fixed my afpub and after double checked, I can share it here. Thanks to all of you and my Kindest Regards - feeling happy, that I am not the only one, "working" on sundays. Uwe walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
