MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / August 2006Hyperlinks in MS publisher not working in pdf
Hi I have designed a newsletter in Publisher consisting of many hyperlinks..i want the newsletter in pdf..but in pdf the links are not working, whereas they are working in webpage preview. How do i make the links work in pdf??please help.. Thanx If you use primopdf and probably the other freebies to produce your PDFs, then your hyperlinks will not survive the conversion. I understand that the PDF program Don recommends, the full version of Adobe Acrobat and some others will preserve the links, or allow you to add the hyperlinks to the PDF. I also understand that the hyperlinks survive the conversion to PDF in the new Publisher 2007, but that feature might go away before it is introduced...something about Adobe not liking what MS is planning for Office 2007.

And that includes a .pdf file created with Primo. It also knows that an email address is just that. It will *not* show them as a hyperlink tho. And yes, the save as .pdf will be going away unless Microsoft can somehow or another persuade Adobe to lighten up. I doubt that will happen. Talk about a clash of the Titans.

Perhaps it works for you because you have the full version of Acrobat installed. I just tested it again, and while the hyperlinked text will retain the blue color and the underline, the link is no longer active...and that is using the Adobe Reader 6.05. Try an experiment. Create a new Email newsletter, select some text, right click > hyperlink > Existing File or Web Page > Browsed Pages, and either paste in a full URL, or choose one that you have browsed. When you have done it properly, the text will the turn the default blue and be underlined. Do a web preview, and try the links. Then print to primopdf, and tell me if the hyperlinks work. If they do, then the only explanation I can think of is because you have Acrobat installed. DavidF > Actually, Adobe Reader 6.05 (?) will read a URL as a link without doing > anything.

Most folks would want a pdf creating capability for all document creating programs on their computer. Thus most of the free pdf programs would suffice and the modestly priced ones would fill all needs. For instance, my HP 8200 scanner has pdf creating capabilities but when checking the size of a recent scanned file it was 12 Mb! Hardly something you would want to send to someone on dialup service. The acceptable solution was to recreate the file using my favorite, PDF-XChange the file became 4Mb. So, if you had 4 or 5 programs with their own pdf creating functions, you may end up redoing the file with your favorite stand alone pdf program. So programmers, leave out the pdf function and lower the price of the program. SignatureDon "May your shadow be found in happy places."
