Book Hyperlink dont link to the Anchor on other chapter

[Leonide Principe]

Hi,

I created an Anchor in the first chapter named Table of Contents. In the first chapter, where the Anchor is located, no problem. 

In the second chapter, in the New Hyperlink Properties I select Type: Anchor, Chapter: Introduction and Anchor: Table of Contents.

Then checking with Go to Hyperlink, it works fine inside the Publisher app, but when I create the PDF and check the link here, it brings me to the corresponding page (page 4) of the same chapter. I checked several times.

Thank you for helping, Leo

What kind of Anchor are you creating?

It sounds like you may be linking to a Page (by number), rather than to something on the page.

I just tried it and linking from chapter 2 to text and object anchors in chapter 1 worked fine for me. Here's a very simple test doc. Clicking the links on page 2 (chapter 2) will take you to the anchors on page 1 (chapter 1.

We might need to see your document or at least a screen recording to understand what the issue is.

Hi,

there is both properties of Anchor and Hyperlink.

When, inside Publisher, I test the Hyperlink with Go to Hyperlink Target, it brings me to the wished Anchor. Fine!

The problem arise when I Export to PDF, where the Hyperlink brings me to the page 4 of the same chapter, instead of the page 4 of the previous chapter.

And yes, Include Bookmarks and Include Hyperlinks are checked in the Export PDF window

Updating,

I simulated a simple book like MikeTO sugested. Then, exporting to PDF, everything works fine.

The prroblem is in my book!

I am uploading the Book file and the first 2 Chapters

Chapter 1 at page 4 have the Anchor placed on the top of the page

Chapter 2 have the Hyperlink placed on upper corners of the first page

Thank you very much for helping

Two of the anchors in Chapter 2 are anchors to page numbers (page 4, specifically):

Those will go to physical page 4 in the output file. You need to change the Type to Anchor, not Page, and point to the Anchor you established on the page, not the page itself.

Hi Walt,

as explaned in my previous post:

"Chapter 2 have the Hyperlink placed on upper corners of the first page"

In your screenshot, the correct one is the Hyperlink 1, which have an Anchor symbol.

The Hyperlink works properly inside Publisher, not when I export to PDF, where the Hyperlink point to page 4 of the same chapter.

Because I have this object (pointing to Table of Contents) on every page of the book, originally I located the Hyperlink in the Master page, where dont works. It seems that Master Pages dont allow pointing to an Anchor.

In a Normal page it works as expected, but it doesn't work in the PDF

Thanks for the clarification. I'll look some more later.

I FOUND THE MISTAKE!

I was applying the Hyperlink to a group of objects, but within the group there was an object with another Hyperlink, which pointed to page 4.
Thanks to everyone, Leo
