Meztli Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Dear Affinity Staff, I need to create page-type hyperlinks on the master page. Once I create them, I can see the hyperlinks on the "hyperlinks studio" but once I export to PDF (yes with the hyperlinks option checked), the links do not work correctly. Some work and some don't. Even more frustrating, the ones that work or not work, keep changing on every export. I've had this problem for months, on multiple files and on all Publisher versions I've tested. It is the only reason I still pay for InDesign! Please provide me with a link so that I can share the editable file with you. My process to create the hyperlinks is: I make a shape with Rectangle tool, then: Text > Interactive > Insert Hyperlink > Select the page number I'm attaching the exported PDF, I use a red tint to make the rectangles visible. In this example, I made 8 rectangles/hyperlinks and on this particular PDF, 3 work and 5 don't. I am on Mac 10.14.5 and currently on Affinity 1.7.1 Thanks!

A_B_C Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Hmm … seems to work here. Could you share at least part of the original file publicly? Test.afpub Test.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted July 2, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 2, 2019 Hi both, Sorry for the delayed reply. If you cannot make part of it public, can you upload it on our dropbox account? https://www.dropbox.com/request/gZro46b8NbRTHmL3ohnL Thanks, Gabe.

Staff Gabe Posted July 3, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 3, 2019 From investigating that file there seems to be an issue with hyperlinks failing to export if an object is clipping outside of the page bounds (with a couple of nuances to this), you'll notice the ones failing to export are placed at -0.8px on the left, and the one failing on the right is at 0px on Y, by moving this down 1px, and moving the left rectangles in so they are at 0px I was able to get them all to export. For now it is probably best to not clip outside the page bounds when placing objects you intend to hyperlink, but this bug has been logged. Thanks for reporting it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try doing the rectangles this way. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
