The 'Include File on Export' Option is Not Sticky When Using Data Merge


Recommended Posts

Selecting the Include File on Export when using Data Merge isn't sticky, i.e., when selected from the Hyperlink Properties window, clicking OK then editing the Hyperlink's Properties again will show the option no longer selected...

The impact of this for a Data Merge is that the Include File on Export option has to be manually selected for each Hyperlink in the file after the Data Merge file is created which is painful if you have hundreds of Hyperlinks...

Note: This only applies when using the From Data Merge option, the option remains sticky for files that are not Data Merged...
