dosoyoyo Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I would like to add a link to a phone number (tel:+4412345678) in an interactive PDF. The Add URL function always creates a 'https://' automatically, so the tel:-link cannot work. From my point of view the automatic 'https://' is unnecessary? Many thanks and best regards Dominik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Use an Anchor instead of URL. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dosoyoyo Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 An anchor is there to link to a place within the document but not to an external site like mailto: or tel:, or have I missed something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dosoyoyo Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 I edited the link in Adobe Acrobat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neurojazz Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I can't afford to get the Adobe PDF program, so found an online utility that allows you to edit the hyperlinks and remove the https:// that Affinity seem to add to them (This should not happen really, as not all links are even https!!!) - tested and working for the tel: type links Here's the web based utility: https://www.sejda.com/pdf-editor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmite Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Hi. I'd like to raise this issue again. This is obviously something that multiple users would benefit from. And not, I would have thought, hard to implement. Can anyone tell me if this is on the Publisher roadmap anywhere? (PS Thanks @Neurojazz for the workaround. Though installing a whole new piece of software just to edit a link isn't my idea of fun (I'd rather not go the upload route)). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmite Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Update: Sejda (free desktop version) worked fine for me too. The pity is for Affinity, after all the hard work done in/by Publisher, the "content creator" field is overwritten and comes up as Sejda. Some nice free advertising for them I guess.

marmite Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 @Pauls It looks like I raised the issue in the Publisher bugs forum around the same time that you replied. Many thanks for your response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
