Active Links in PDF

[BigSmoker]

I created a newsletter using Xara. In order for my clients to view it easily I exported the file as a pdf. The newsletter has some text that I also made into links so the client could go to the web address. When exported as a pdf the links do not work. There is one link that is an actual www. that works but the other ones do not. Is this something that works in a pdf file or do I just need to move on and include the actual www. links instead of text that is linked to a wed address.

Hi BigSmoker,

If you use the Email distribution or Download option in the PDF export dialog you can have multiple links.

Although I did find that if I try putting two different links in the same paragraph they both point to the same URL after export to pdf.

Links in different paragraphs work as they should and link to the URL that was assigned.

I had save the pdf for the web. let me post the newsletter and see if the links work for anyone else. They do not for me, except the www. one

Nope, they don´t work for me except the one with www.

I edited your newsletter and it now seems to work.
How did you insert the web address?

[BigSmoker]

I highlighted the text I wanted to link. Right clicked and selected web address. entered the full URL. left the target as _self. rectangle around object and underline text link. After this I changed the text color to blue to make it stand out. Was your procedure the same?

BigSmoker did you click the Apply button? I often forget to do that.

[BigSmoker]

yep I did. Mine says "Add" but I'm sure we are on the same sheet of music here.

[Soquili]

Yes, it is the Add button. Old habits and dialogs stay with us I'm afraid.

I can get John Littlefield to work and the www one but not the other.
