No ToC links in PDF

[Fordy]

I can't seem to get Publisher's  Table of Contents to produce hyperlinks in a PDF export. Other manually entered hyperlinks work fine in the same PDF file, just not the ToC. Surely I don't have to manually create all the hyperlinks myself?  I am on Windows 10. TIA.

Publisher should automatically be making the page numbers in the ToC into hyperlinks.

Do you have the "Include Hyperlinks" option enabled in the Export dialog's More... dialog?

Can you provide a sample .afpub and a .pdf exported from it where the hyperlinks don't work?

Also, what OS do you use?

@walt.farrell Thanks, yes, I thought it should do it automatically. I am on Windows 10 and, yes, the "Include Hyperlinks" on the PDF export is checked. The hyperlinks that I explicitly make in Publisher are included in the PDF and work correctly. However, the ToC (Generated by Publisher) looks fine but does not include any links. I can add the links manually to the ToC but, if I do this then I have to re-add every time I update the ToC. Sorry, I can't send you the files as they contain confidential content - if I can't solve the problem, I might generate a special file to demonstrate the issue.

That is probably your best approach at this point.

It is only the page numbers which will be hyperlinks, not the text in the ToC. Weird omission in my opinion.

@Old Bruce Thanks for that; I had totally missed the fact that the actual numbers were hyperlinked. As you say, a very weird omission. I will submit that as a bug.
