[Implemented] Hyperlinks for Affinity Publisher

[chic]

Hi, just downloaded Affinity Publisher Beta , (been waiting a long time for this release) and there is not the ability to create Hyperlinked pdf's, not sure if this is because it is a Beta or not, but in my workflow I regularly publish Hyperlinked PDF's and this would be a fundamental feature for me and many others . At the moment I do this using Keynote and its a great little software, but as I have Designer and Photo and hopefully publisher soon I could contain my whole workflow in the Affinity platform, so please please please include the ability to publish Hyperlinked PDF"s

[andyfritz]

YES - waiting so long for this release - i´am very happy about the "table" funktions... but i need also the hyperlinks.
 PLEASE ADD HYPLERLINKS !

Thanks for the cool Publisher!!

Hyperlinks are essential for modern documents

[Rip Rowan]

I just downloaded Affinity Publisher specifically because I have an Affinity Designer document that requires hyperlinks.

I was very disappointed to see this feature still is not present.

[Martigny]

Definitely need hyperlinks here please guys.

[TonyB]

Support for hyperlinks will be added to Affinity but unfortunately we don't have a timescale yet.

This is good to know. Thank you Tony

[thomasbricker]

Yeah.

Just tried it myself.

Guess it cant be done yet in Designer.

But I was able to do an excellent job of it using PDF Editor 6 Pro.

It is implemented beautifully within that app.

I second that this is a must-have for PDFs, starting from CVs to magazines, we need hyperlinks for our PDFs.

[pinky]

Still no news on adding hyperlinks, I normally use InDesign to create interactive PDFs and that's an essential feature for me, been messing about on Designer, seems good enough so far but without hyperlinks that's a dealbreaker.

[TonyB]

Hyperlinks are on our internal roadmap, unfortunately like most of the other great suggestions we just don't have a date for when it will be implemented.

I suppose release version (1.7) will be print oriented, and possibly the next version (1.8?) would have interactive/digital features added (epub, pdf)?

[Rover]

+1 for hyperlinks support!

However, as a workaround PDF software can be used to add them in, as thomasbricker mentioned (I've done this successfully with Nuance Power PDF Advanced Pro 3).

Please add me to the list!
I need hyperlinks support for interactive pdfs...

Anyway, great work!

And PDF Expert do it also, but this is very tedious...

This is also a very important feature for me. A must-have for modern documents. I was surprised to find this feature wasn't available, since the beta so far has been very full-featured.

+1 for hyperlink support!

as electronic publishing goes, Publisher is not full-featured. Current edition focuses in dead-tree publishing.

[ArthurK]

Any news on this? Neeeed! Otherwise, love the addition to the Affinity family.

[Peter Scott]

I too need the ability to publish electronically using hyperlinks. Other than that I am so pleased Publisher has arrived. I have been using AF Photo and Designer and am so glad Adobe will be gone from my life. 

[Marinaa]

I would also love to see this feature added! Vital when creating online documentation.

[Chrispynutt]

I'd also like to second this request. I needed to open my PDF export in PagePlus X7 to add in the links.

[keithpattison]

I agree that hyperlinks are a must. It would be nice if the link supported zoom to zoom in on large pages such as maps, posters etc....

@mich_, @zangad, @Peter Scott, @Marinaa

Welcome to all of you to the Serif Affinity forums   

It says a lot about this feature request that so many potential customers want to create an account to add to this thread.

To all readers,

You may be pleased to hear that I understand this feature is being worked on currently, though I do not know of the exact progress.

[somewhereinusa]

That's good to hear, I too was disappointed there was no hyperlinks

[Morgoth]

+1 on this and good to hear that it is in process. I just saw a video of a document created in Illustrator that uses hyperlinked tabs in the exported PDF. Unfortunately, this is in a private FB group.
