Emolas Posted September 3, 2024 Posted September 3, 2024 Running Affinity Publisher 2.5.5 on macOS Sonoma (though I first noticed this bug in Publisher 2.5.3) Two-way hyperlinks between reference numbers (in the text) and endnote bodies work as expected in Publisher and when an individual file is exported to PDF. However, when the file is part of a book (created with the Books Panel), endnote references and endnote bodies are missing all hyperlinks if the PDF is exported from the Books Panel. This is true whether all chapters or selected chapters or a single chapter is exported as PDF from the Books Panel. Setup of my tests: Each chapter of book consists of two stories. The first story of each chapter contains the main text and concludes with the chapter’s endnotes; the second story, following directly after the endnotes, contains the references for that chapter. Endnotes are positioned “End of Story” and endnote numbering restarts each story. SimpleTestBook.zip

Hangman Posted September 3, 2024 Posted September 3, 2024 Hi @Emolas, This is already logged under AF-709, though this is possibly a regression since AF-709 was marked as fixed in v2.4.0.2175...

A couple of differences between what I’ve reported and AF-709: 1) AF-709 endnotes were set to “End of Book.” My endnotes are set to “End of Story.” 2) AF-709 reported endnote hyperlinks were present from reference number to the endnote, but no backlinks from endnote to reference number. I’m not getting any hyperlinks either direction — neither to nor from reference numbers, neither to nor from note bodies. Unless there is something wrong with how I constructed my files, I think what I'm seeing may be a new bug — perhaps one that had been around for a while but not noticed? Can anyone diagnose an error (by me) in the files I submitted? emolas

So I do think this is technically a new bug from a bug-reporting perspective... You're definitely not doing anything wrong, this is simply a bug...
